House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has subpoenaed three key White House staffers who are allegedly shielding Joe Biden from media scrutiny and doing his job for him amid his cognitive difficulties. “I am issuing subpoenas today for White House staff Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Ashley Williams to appear for depositions,” Comer announced on X on Wednesday. Williams is the Special Assistant to the President and Deputy director of Oval Office Operations, Bernal, the Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the First Lady, and Tomasini, the Deputy Chief of Staff. “The White House has shielded these...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Megyn Kelly ended Jake Tapper’s career today. Total bloodbath. She left him rambling, speechless, and admitting he helped cover up Biden’s decline. He had years to press Biden and didn’t. Now he’s exposed… and finished. Watch:

We all know how poorly members of Congress behave and represent the American people, but now lawmakers are dropping damning information allegedly revealing how dire the situation on Capitol Hill really is. As TGP readers know, several members have shown multiple signs of cognitive decline, and there are two glaring examples that immediately come to mind. The first is late California Senator Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein held onto office despite being so diminished mentally that she had no choice but to give up power of attorney to her daughter as the New York Post notes. Then, in December 2024, Texas GOP...

Stephen Miller gave the White House press corps a "civics lesson" on presidential powers at Thursday's press briefing, to the delight of conservatives. The White House deputy chief of staff for policy responded to a question comparing media concerns about Elon Musk serving as an "unelected bureaucrat" while ignoring former President Joe Biden's declining mental state. "You’re tempting me to say very harsh things about some of our media friends," he began. "It is true that many of the people in this room for four years failed to cover the fact that Joe Biden was mentally incompetent and was not...

Joe Biden’s time as president was truly a sleeper. Biden, 82, took more time off than any other US president in modern history, spending 577 of his 1,463 days in office – or 39% of his presidency — on vacation, according to shocking new data compiled by the Republican National Committee. The average American — who gets 11 paid vacation days a year — would have to work 52 years to rack up as much down time as Biden scored in his four years.

Newly obtained emails reveal that former president Joe Biden's White House was involved from the beginning in the investigation into the classified documents found at Donald Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago. Trump has been under intense investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The official narrative suggested that Trump had retained sensitive materials without authorization, which led to an FBI raid at his Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022. However, these new revelations confirm coordination between the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and senior officials before the official referral to the Department of...

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that he’s revoking former President Joe Biden’s access to government secrets and ending the daily intelligence briefings he’s receiving in payback for Biden doing the same to him in 2021. Trump announced his decision in a post on his social media platform shortly after he arrived at his Mar-a-Lago home and private club in Palm Beach for the weekend. “There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” Trump wrote....

The Democrats are a party controlled by elites, liberals and special interest groups. They are out of touch with America’s middle class. They are personified by a president who let inflation get the better of him and world events spin out of his control. As a result, the Democrats lost the White House as well as control of the Senate. I’m talking about the 1980 election and its aftermath. But if politics back then has a familiar ring, it also has lessons for Democrats today, as they are in dire need of fresh vision and leadership. The election of a...

As someone whose father was in the aeronautics business — and who got passed on plenty of his wisdom from a young age — there are two things that I know, even as an unskilled observer, about airplane crashes. The first is that there’s never one single thing to blame for disasters, especially when it involves airliners; so much redundancy is built into the system that numerous things have to go wrong, either simultaneously or over a period of time, for a crash to happen. The second is that nobody — nobody — knows what caused the disaster in the...

Use some of the same methods the Biden DOJ used against Trump and members of his administration. They collectively came to power in 2021 under dubious electoral circumstances in 2020 and then proceeded to wield that power with all of the care and nuance of napalm. Laws and the Constitution be damned, they thought they were untouchable. And they worked hard to make the people pay dearly for resistance to their authority. Witness the January 6 Select Committee. Comprised of a comically corrupt and deceitful collection of rank partisans from both parties, the J6 Committee had two distinct goals: To...

Two former Politico reporters spoke candidly about efforts made by their bosses to either slow-walk or completely quash their reporting on the Biden family during their time at the news outlet. Marc Caputo and Tara Palmeri, now journalists for Axios and Puck respectively, reflected on their time at Politico on Palmeri's "Somebody's Gotta Win" podcast. Caputo called out Politico's "ill-fated headline" downplaying the Hunter Biden laptop scandal during the 2020 election. "I mean, Politico, my former employer, and I knew at the time, didn’t do itself any favors," Caputo said in the exchange, which was shared Thursday on YouTube. "I...

We are now in the last hours of the Biden Administration. Today the Bidenauts complete four full years in office. And as we all know, their number one priority from the day they took office was to address what they called the “climate crisis” (or sometimes, the “profound climate crisis”). Famously, after lavishly promising on the campaign trail to address and solve the crisis, newly-installed President Biden then issued multiple Executive Orders on the subject in his early days in office, most notably this one from January 27, 2021. He promised an “all of government” approach, with every department and...

The Trump administration wasted no time today making its first moves to undo the damage Joe Biden caused in four years as president. Trump’s first pro-life action today came in the form of disabling a pro-abortion web site Biden created to promote killing babies in abortions. The website, reproductiverights.gov, was launched by the Biden administration in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe and promotes ways babies could be killed in abortions. Leading pro-life advocates have made suggestions for several other things Trump can do quickly to promote life. Here are five Pro-Life things Trump can do...

Arelis Hernandez from the Washington Post reported that the CBP1 migrants waiting in line in Ciudid Juarez were turned down today and told their appointments are no longer valid. The migrants appear to be crying after hearing the news. This was after President Donald Trump was sworn in as America’s 47th President minutes earlier. Trump told America that illegal entry into the country would be immediately eliminated. Trump was serious about this. ..... Snip..... Arelis R. Hernández @arelisrhdz Migrants in Ciudad Juárez who were waiting for their 1 pm CBP1 parole appointments learned 20 minutes ago that the app has...

The New York Times published a report that President Biden used teleprompters for small fundraisers hosted at private homes, which alarmed his donors. According to the four Times reporters on Friday, the president's inner circle "had Mr. Biden use a teleprompter for even small fund-raisers in private homes, alarming donors, who were asked to provide questions beforehand." Biden has made headlines throughout his presidency for blunders related to his use of teleprompters.

Legal experts slammed President Biden's announcement declaring the 28th Amendment law as "cynical and irrelevant." Biden on Friday released a statement saying the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) should be considered ratified and a new addition to the U.S. Constitution. "It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to the Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex,"...

Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn believes Joe Biden will go down as one of the greatest presidents in American history. In an interview on MSNBC’s Chris Jansing Reports, the South Carolina congressman said that history will judge Biden kindly. “Given everything that was in place when he took office, Covid the economic challenges, do you think that this was in some ways inevitable?” Jansing asked. ”And how do you think history will judge this presidency?” Clyburn responded: I think that he will go down as one of the greatest presidents we ever had. I think the same thing about Jimmy...

President Joe Biden released a statement Friday declaring that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) “has become part of our Constitution.” Biden asserted that as of 2020, 38 states have ratified the amendment and stated it should now be recognized as “the law of the land,” according to a White House press release. The amendment is meant to ensure equal rights for men and women in the U.S., but some interpretations of the text have implied it would erase gender distinctions and grant abortion protections. “The American Bar Association (ABA) has recognized that the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary...
