U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Lynne Tracy, who was appointed by Joe Biden, has departed her position in Moscow as U.S. Ambassador to Russia. There has been no announced name for replacement. [¹Get the friggin’ BBB passed!] ... Remember, in the last 20+ years, no American official has spent more face-to-face time with Vladimir Putin than U.S. Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff. On behalf of President Trump Witkoff has held multiple meetings and discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin lasting more than 4 and 5 hours at a time. U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy was not present. Do not forget, nor overlook this...

The visual alone is disturbing enough, but now we've learned Jill Biden's 'work husband' is refusing to appear before Congress. BREAKING: Jill Biden’s longtime aide Anthony Bernal is DEFYING Congress and REFUSING to testify tomorrow about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline after the White House waived his executive privilege. He’s running scared. The cover-up is collapsing. We will subpoena him immediately. Read Chairman @RepJamesComer's statement: “Now that the White House has waived executive privilege, it’s abundantly clear that Anthony Bernal – Jill Biden’s so-called ‘work husband’ – never intended to be transparent about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the ensuing cover-up....

Here it is. Ex-Biden official Neera Tanden admitted under oath to the House Oversight Committee during a closed-door testimony on Tuesday that she controlled Joe Biden’s autopen. House Oversight Chairman James Comer recently identified five Biden aides who were involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline and autopen scandal. Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden was brought before the Committee on Tuesday and admitted she was authorized to use Joe Biden’s autopen between October 2021 to May 2023. According to the Washington Examiner, Neera Tanden testified that she was also authorized to direct the autopen, however, she...

Fox News has uncovered that almost every pardon and act of clemency Biden signed for over 1,500 criminals during his final weeks in office was via autopen. These included preemptive pardons for several members of his family, Anthony Fauci, and General Mark Milley. But Biden made an exception for the man he once called “the smartest guy I know”: his only surviving son, Hunter. In the document below, you can see Joe Biden’s crooked-looking signature. As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor previously reported, Joe Biden granted his son Hunter Biden a blanket pardon in the federal gun and tax cases against him...

House Oversight Chairman James Comer subpoenaed Biden’s White House physician to testify on the growing autopen and mental decline scandal. James Comer previously demanded testimony from Dr. Kevin O’Connor and four former aides related to the Biden health scandal. Chairman Comer had demanded testimony from: Biden White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, Former Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to First Lady Jill Biden Anthony Bernal, Former Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, Former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations Ashley...

A Romanian national pleaded guilty on Monday to charges related to his role in a “swatting” ring that targeted dozens of public officials, including a former US president. Going by the aliases “Plank,” “Jonah” and “Cypher,” 26-year-old Thomasz Szabo took part in a years-long conspiracy to place bogus 911 calls, claiming emergencies were taking place at the homes of top government officials, and make bomb threats against government buildings and houses of worship, according to Justice Department. Szabo and a co-conspirator, 21-year-old Serbian national Nemanja Radovanovic, allegedly targeted about 100 people, including members of Congress, governors, cabinet-level executive branch officials...

Jonathan Capehart questioning President Trump's "mental acuity," and suggesting he suffers from "mental impairment?" That is some world-class chutzpah! After all, Capehart is the guy who, even two weeks AFTER Biden's "we finally beat Medicare" debate performance, was clamoring for him to remain in the race. Capehart castigated people calling on Biden to drop out of the race as "scaredy-cats," and said that "I am not worried about him, his abilities, his performance or his mental acuity." And when when he scored an interview with Biden, Capehart edited out the moment that Ol' Joe nodded off and had to be...

ABC News is reporting that Republicans are planning to investigate Biden’s mental decline, but they frame it on Twitter/X and in the actual report as “what they call Biden’s decline.” Jake Tapper and other liberal journalists are writing books about Biden’s mental decline and doing massive media tours to promote these books, but when Republicans decide to investigate, suddenly it’s framed as a partisan accusation. Also, when did investigations become a bad thing? Democrats and the media sure seemed to love them when they focused on Trump. Take a look at this:

During an appearance on Bill Maher’s show this weekend, CNN’s Jake Tapper suggested that Biden’s mental decline was responsible for the border crisis of the last four years, claiming that it wasn’t official policy. This is ridiculous. So much of Tapper’s book and the media tour to promote it is about rewriting history and this is just one more example. It is obvious that what happened at the border was policy. It was a strategy to flood the country with new Democrat voters in an effort to change the electorate. Jake Tapper claims that Joe Biden’s mental deterioration led to...

It is easy to forget that before Biden’s disastrous debate performance last spring, he and his team were running full steam ahead on his reelection campaign. They actually believed Biden could win a second term and serve another four years. Knowing what we now know, it’s obvious that this would have been impossible. But what if he had run and somehow won the election. How would his team have tried to pull it off? Now we know that too, and it’s terrifying. According to Alex Thompson, Jake Tapper’s co-author on their new Biden book, Biden’s inner circle of unelected White...

The FBI on Monday announced it reopened the investigation into cocaine found at the White House. “Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest. We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases. These cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case. I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress. If you have any investigative...

CNN’s Jake Tapper, one of the biggest shills for Biden and his “sharp as a tack” mental state, is now seeking to profit with a sham exposé of the Democrats’ cover-up with his new book “Original Sin,” co-authored by Axios’ Alex Thompson. An excerpt from the book reveal that Harris lost it after her post-debate interview in an entitled rant about how the Vice President deserves to be treated. “I thought we were better than that,” she allegedly said. Kamala Harris was visibly triggered as she stammered at Cooper’s questioning of Biden’s horrible debate performance in the June 27, 2024...

On Wednesday May 21, former US Attorney, New York City mayor, and author of The Biden Crime Family: The Blueprint for Their Prosecution, Rudy Giuliani, joined Steve Bannon’s War Room to discuss his current strategies for prosecuting the Biden family. Giuliani balanced his prosecutorial blueprint with unabashed commentary on Joe Biden’s lack of mental soundness. Then, Giuliani unleashed his evidentiary framework regarding the Biden family’s quid pro quos with foreign nations. “The people who covered this up – it is treason,” Giuliani said.

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, Capehart hosted "Original Sin" co-author Alex Thompson. Thompson described the Democrat party as "sleepwalking" about Biden's inability to serve, until the disastrous debate made that impossible to ignore. But there was someone who was still somnambulating even after the debate—Jonathan Capehart. In a PBS appearance more than two weeks after the debate, Capehart said that people calling on Biden to drop out of the race were "scaredy-cats," and that "I am not worried about him, his abilities, his performance or his mental acuity."For the sake of disclosure, transparency, and journalistic integrity, it behooved...

It's only taken Joe Scarborough 441 days to "handle the truth." As late as yesterday, in a conversation with Mark Halperin in his excellent "Next Up" series, an intransigent Scarborough was still defending the absurd claim he made on March 6, 2024: "F-you if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.">/B> [snip] But finally, on today's Morning Joe, in a conversation with "Original Sin" co-authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Scarborough finally admitted that in making his "best Biden ever" claim, "I was obviously wrong."Get the rest of the story and...

The hits just keep coming for Joe Biden’s presidency and the Democrat party. One of the details in Jake Tapper’s book, which came out today, is that Biden’s cabinet meetings were scripted, meaning that they were little more than theater. People in these meetings were more like actors than government officials. They also reportedly used cameras to cover any mistakes. If this is accurate, it basically means that Biden’s presidency was almost completely fake. Biden team scripted Cabinet meetings, used multiples cameras to cover flubs: Book https://t.co/IeQAGAi2ZZ — The Hill (@thehill) May 20, 2025 From The Hill: Tapper and Thompson...

On Tuesday a Biden spokesperson claimed Joe Biden’s last underwent a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test, a common way to detect prostate cancer, back in 2014. “President Biden’s last known PSA was in 2014. Prior to Friday, President Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer,” a Biden spox said on Tuesday afternoon. Even CNN isn’t buying it. “He was President of the United States and didn’t get tested? I find this very surprising,” a CNN anchor said in disbelief.

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:

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed in a bombshell interview with Jason Chaffetz that his committee has identified the shadowy White House staffers responsible for wielding President Joe Biden’s infamous autopen during a period when Biden was “clearly in mental decline.” The autopen scandal first erupted in March when President Trump, in a fiery late-night Truth Social post, declared Joe Biden’s autopen pardons “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.” Trump revealed that Biden, whom he branded “the Worst President in the History of our Country,” did not personally sign the pardons, nor was he even aware...
