As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, sparks flew in the Cabinet Room when a reporter dared to ask a question about the “lingering mysteries” in the Epstein case, including Epstein’s ties to American or foreign intelligence agencies like Israel’s Mossad. This comes after the FBI unbelievably determined that Epstein did commit suicide and that there is no incriminating client list, no credible blackmail evidence, and no grounds to investigate uncharged individuals connected to Epstein’s massive sex trafficking operation. President Trump went off on the reporter, calling the question a “desecration” of the situation in Texas and the success of...

SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly predicted Tuesday on her show that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s days in the Trump administration are “numbered” following public backlash over the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) new report on Jeffrey Epstein. Axios reported Sunday that the DOJ and FBI released a two-page memo that concluded Epstein committed suicide in 2019 and left behind no “client list.” While discussing Republican criticism of the memo, a guest on “The Megyn Kelly Show” asked whether Bondi’s previous media comments are fueling the backlash. “Just look at the influencer thing. Just take a step back,” Kelly said. “What kind of an...

BREAKING: Kash Patel announces new evidence linked to the Russiagate hoax has been found: “I’m telling you and the American public.. We have found material, information, and people who wanted to hide it from the world since we got in these seats.”

... Seconds later, he hears his partner shouting from a parking lot entrance at San Mateo Street and El Corazon Avenue intersection and sprints to help her. The female officer's bodycam shows McClintock running toward her open driver's side door. While there is no audio, the video shows her pulling out her handgun before McClintock wrestles it away from her. During the struggle, the officer is thrown to the ground but quickly gets up and runs for cover, right as her partner arrives. "He did grab the weapon from her but I know that my brother was not someone to...

President Trump’s opponents sought to tie him to Project 2025, which he disavowed.During his first months in office, his policy agenda largely aligned with the conservative playbook.Whether Project 2025 was President Trump’s plan for his second presidency was a big point of contention during the presidential campaign.His opponents in the race — first President Biden and then Vice President Kamala Harris — aggressively tried to tie him to the Heritage Foundation’s unpopular conservative playbook, which was unveiled in 2023. Trump vociferously denied it was his plan, and the White House still does.Now, several months into Trump’s second term, what is...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨Rep. James Comer Drops Epstein File BOMBSHELL: The Files Have Been Destroyed, Doesn't Think Pam Bondi and Kash Patel Have Them, "I Warned Them.": "They ordered the release.. Haven't been released. They are in there shredding documents. The government is involved.." 1:35 PM · May 6, 2025

From Russiagate to Harvard scandals, the left’s decade-long hysteria machine spins on—loud, fact-light, and void of any serious plan for America’s future. The decade-old age of fables like Russian collusion, laptop disinformation, or the pangolin/bat cause of COVID is not over; it is just hitting midstream. For much of April, amid stock downturns, in the classical paranoid style, we were assured by the Wall Street Journal news reporters and the liberal press that Trump had either a) guaranteed an inevitable recession, b) engineered a losing trade war he likely regretted, c) crashed the stock market, d) lost his once majority...

CNN host Amber Ruffin said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that she felt “less welcome” under President Donald Trump while discussing being removed as the host of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Ruffin said, “They were, like, look, you were running your mouth in these streets, and now you can’t host the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and I was like, oh, no, you know, this is horrible. I was running my mouth, and I was being careless. Then, as the day went on, people were like your free speech has been revoked. How dare they. Then I was like, oh,...

If NewsBusters were to introduce a Scaremonger of the Month award, Symone Sanders would be the runaway winner for April. On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, which she co-hosts, ther former Kamala Harris press aide was commenting on the Abrego Garcia case: "Kilmar Abrego Garcia's specific case, the case of the gentleman who's a makeup artist out of California who was also sent to that prison . . . is so important. Because if they could do it to them, if they could snatch students off the street without any pushback or recourse, they will do it to any...

Video at link. EXCERPT: WALZ: “I have come to understand what Donald Trump, what pops into his head and he says, he's going to carry it out. I -- once again, he talked about the tariffs. He talked about, you know, he's going to deport people. And this whole thing with Mr. Abrego Garcia, it's that old wisdom and terrifying is if you're not speaking up for this man, there will be no one left to speak up for you.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that if President Donald Trump’s administration can deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, they can “disappear” you. Warren said, “The point is, why are they doing this? And the answer is they want to have the American people say it’s OK to just disappear people. And somehow they think if they can make up lies about him, if they can do whatever they want, then the answer will be the American people will settle for this. We do not disappear people in the United States. Because here’s the thing. If they can...

Left-wing commentator and Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump’s administration was causing “an impending police state.” Tribe said, “I been in school for 50 years studying the constitution, teaching about it. It doesn’t enforce itself. It takes human beings of character to take it seriously. And when for whatever combination of cultural and social reasons, the nation selects someone who clearly has no respect for the constitution, someone who is cruel, someone who is without moral principle this is what we see. We see a tinhorn dictator interacting with a wannabe...

So much crazy happens with the Trump administration every day that some downright weird but incredibly telling stuff gets lost in the noise. A recent example was the scene on April 8 at the White House where, in the middle of his raging trade war, our president decided it was the perfect time to sign an executive order to bolster coal mining. “We’re bringing back an industry that was abandoned,” said President Trump, surrounded by coal miners in hard hats, members of a work force that has declined to about 40,000 from 70,000 over the last decade, according to Reuters....

Thrifty Big Apple shoppers were rushing to stock up on the basics Wednesday after President Trump’s sweeping reciprocal tariffs briefly went into effect — before he then announced a 90-day pause. “Pray to God that we all survive,” said Angelia Gonzalez, a 48-year-old mother who was filling her cart at the East Harlem Costco. “I feel some kind of way. I mean, I have a family.” Gonzalez travelled across town from her longtime home in West Harlem to stock up at the wholesaler over fears that prices will soon skyrocket from Trump’s massive “reciprocal” tariffs, which went into effect at...

Mr. President, take “yes” for an answer. On Monday, as the fallout from Liberation Day continued to rile markets, the European Union surrendered. “We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. That would lower the price of pharmaceuticals, cars and other products that American companies export to the EU. It’s exactly the sort of agreement that would make President Trump’s tariff wars a success — forcing nations to make better deals for our workers. And if the agreement isn’t perfect, it’s at least a starting point. But is the administration even answering...

Republicans who are evidently not too comfortable with President Donald Trump’s decision to announce large new global tariffs have tried plenty of hints to push him in a different direction. And one of Trump’s most vocal tariff critics on the GOP side, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, tried a relatively novel one on Wednesday. He pointed to electoral peril for the GOP. “Tariffs have also led to political decimation,” Paul told reporters. “When [William] McKinley most famously put tariffs on in 1890, they lost 50 percent of their seats in the next election. When [Sens. Reed Smoot and Willis C....

I cannot say this any other way: We are in deep s----. These are truly scary and rough times. Trump appears at the Justice Department and calls for his opponents to be jailed. He “detains” students who have committed no crime but peacefully expressed their negative views about Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies in Gaza. He invokes the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to remove unauthorized immigrants, without evidence or hearing. Sides with Russia, China, and North Korea against Ukraine. Purges career officials and installs political hacks more loyal to him than to the United States. Fires inspectors general. Demotes senior prosecutors....

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt. Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s only March, and we have yet another declaration of a “constitutional crisis.” The latest dire declaration comes from roughly 950 law professors, who refer generally to actions and policies implemented by President Trump as “beyond his constitutional or statutory authority.” So — what happens if the “experts” hold a crisis and no one shows up? After years of such claims, the perpetual crisis has left a dwindling number of people inclined to panic. Many simply have more pressing matters at the moment and have the same reaction of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger: “There cannot be a crisis...

New York federal Judge Paul Engelmayer’s temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s access to Treasury documents happened so fast it’s unlikely he carefully read the case filings. The filings from the 19 suing Democrat state attorneys generals were so voluminous, and Engelmayer’s order was entered so quickly, that it could not possibly have been the product of reasoned judicial analysis and reflection. The stench is so bad, questions of possible corruption must be answered.Engelmayer is the first judge ever to grant a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the president of the United States that also forbids a cabinet secretary...
