Barry is a man with a mission and no mojo to back it up. Barack Obama has been treated like the untouchable kingmaker of the Democrat Party. The media built him into a political rock star. Dems acted like an endorsement from Mr. Barry Obama could move mountains, calm seas, and shape elections. However, none of that ever happened, even though the media likes to pretend it did. On one side, you’ve got President Trump, who is tightening his grip on the Republican Party in ways many never expected. He’s steamrolling anti-Trump Republicans all over the country, while Obama’s political...

Former first lady Michelle Obama was raising two young girls while living in the White House. And while she had her fair share of “traumatizing” moments during her husband’s presidency, one overseas trip really pushed her to her limit.(snip) Michelle recalled the “messy conversations” she had with White House staffers after the “impossible” travel schedules became too much for her young daughters, Malia Obama and Sasha Obama — now 27 and 24, respectively — to handle. The Obamas moved into the White House in 2009 with two young daughters — Malia, then 10, and Sasha, then 7. Michelle quickly realized...

The Biden Justice Department’s former second-in-command, Lisa Monaco, is facing a referral to the Department of Justice over allegations that she buried investigations into Microsoft’s cybersecurity failures before landing a top job at the tech giant, according to a letter from the American Accountability Foundation. Monaco, who served as Deputy Attorney General under former Attorney General Merrick Garland, joined Microsoft in May 2025 as President of Global Affairs just months after leaving government. Her hiring drew immediate criticism from President Donald Trump, who blasted Monaco in a Truth Social post last September. “Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco,” Trump...

Medea Benjamin “call(s) for help” before she is arrested for trespassing at the McLean, Va., home of Erik Prince, August 20, 2010. Photo by Code Pink. Terrorist supporter and Code Pink co-founder Susan “Medea” Benjamin was arrested Friday evening at the McLean, Virginia home of Xe Services founder (formerly Blackwater) Erik Prince, according to a press release posted by Code Pink. Prince was not home, having left the United States for Abu Dhabi in the face of mounting legal problems. Inexplicably, Benjamin was let into the house, according to the press release. However, when Benjamin revealed the true nature of...

Q Ascension™️@QAscension347·Apr 23Never forget President Trump re-Tweeted this Iran / Clinton-Obama story before getting BANNED from Twitter. Iran harbored known CIA asset Osama bin Laden with the knowledge of top U.S. officials, including Hillary Clinton, via a secret deal.Iran blackmailed the Obama administration, threatening to expose the FAKE KILLING of Osama bin Laden unless the Obama administration paid $152 billion.Audio evidence confirms $2 billion in cash was funneled back to U.S. politicians to keep them quiet."We’ll hold off killing Osama until the time is right to use him as a trophy," a congressman admitted on tape, revealing bin Laden’s survival...

To those who keep trying to convince me of a story I have already debunked: No, Barack Obama’s stolen Connecticut Social Security number did not originally belong to Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in 1890, lived in Connecticut, and allegedly died in Hawaii. Ludwig’s SSN was 045-26-xxxx and was assigned to him in 1951. Obama’s starts with 042 (when it should have started with the Hawaiian 575 or 576) and was issued on March 28, 1977. Madelyn Paine, Obama’s grandmother, did not work for Probate Court. She worked for the Bank of Hawaii as a Vice President (with only...

Michelle Obama had a girls’ night out with her two daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama. As seen in photos obtained by Page Six, the trio arrived at celebrity hot spot Funke Restaurant in Beverly Hills, California, Monday night, surrounded by Secret Service agents. Michelle, 62, went casual for the outing, sporting a jacket, fitted Henley top, a brown belt and low-rise jeans. The former first lady’s simple yet chic outfit was reminiscent of the one she wore for her photoshoot with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz last year. Malia, 27, stunned in a floral, knee-length cami dress paired with black...

France’s longest-running political and corporate corruption scandal ended yesterday with prison sentences and fines for 23 former executives at the Elf oil company and their associates.Loik le Floch-Prigent, 57, Elf’s chief executive between 1989 and 1993, authorised the embezzlement of £210 million while Elf was state-owned.

Auchi, who fled his native Iraq under Saddam Hussein, was found guilty of accepting illegal...

Netflix has been sued in Texas over claims it collects data belonging to children and adults in the US state without their consent, and uses "addictive" design to keep them hooked. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the streaming giant of "spying" on citizens saying it "records and monetises billions" of pieces of information about how users behave on the platform, despite suggesting otherwise. "Every interaction on the platform became a data point revealing information about the user," his office said. Netflix has rejected the claims and says it will challenge them in court, according to a statement shared with...

“Operation Epic Fury was the loud one. Operation Economic Fury is the quiet one. . . . While the carriers were on television, Treasury was doing the actual demolition.” —Jesús Enrique Rosas on X Expect a consequential week. The Persian Gulf remains closed and colossal oil slicks leak out of Kharg Island while Iran blusters and stomps its feet. No one can even try to buy its oil anymore, not even China. The sanctions are too onerous. Iran’s wells must be shut in now. Imagine how the production chiefs out in the oil fields are howling at their insane IRGC...

The Iranian regime has finally sent back its response to the U.S. on the question of a peace deal. But with Iran, you have to know going in that they are giving you something that looks like movement, while having a whole lot of "gaps" in the meantime, as the Wall Street Journal phrased it. I'll put in the proviso that until the U.S. officially confirms details on anything that was in the proposal, this is a report on what it supposedly says. According to the WSJ, the response doesn't "resolve the U.S. demand for commitments in advance on Iran's...

In recent years, most of us who follow politics have become pretty jaded. Outrageous things happen, outrageous acts are perpetrated, usually by the left, and nothing ever seems to be done about it. That's changing some now, with the Trump Department of Justice looking to bring some people to account for some of the more egregious acts.Now, on Friday, the Chief of Protocol for the U.S. government, Monica Crowley, has claimed that the administration will soon produce proof that President Trump actually won the 2020 election. That would have to be pretty solid evidence for anything to come from it,...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney posted on X on Friday, greeting former President Barack Obama, which drew a lot of attention. "Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us." It even had a music track. That prompted many on social media to wonder what Obama was doing meeting with Carney, since Obama is no longer in government. Carney seemed to be implying they were somehow working on something to "build a better...

We reported on former President Barack Obama's effort this week to pump up his presidential center, which is finally opening in June.(snip) I can't imagine there would be a lot of ordinary folks beating down the doors to visit. As we've noted, the main building is not exactly a beacon of attractiveness. It's just flat-out ugly. They're even selling a pin that's supposed to look like the building, and the pin is similarly ugly. Plus, you have to shell out $30 for the pin, which is just a gray blob of clay. One of the funniest was this necklace, which...

I still can’t believe that Barack Obama had the audacity to lecture Americans during his recent interview with Stephen Colbert about presidents misusing the Justice Department. "The White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever," Obama said. "The idea is that the attorney general is the people's lawyer. It's not the president's consigliere." [SNIP] "Barack Hussein Obama is the king of weaponization," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement. “And documents declassified last year revealed he was present for key meetings that led to critical steps in the opening of the...

Few things were more inevitable than an Obama musical. What better way to commemorate the Hamilton presidency than with a vibes-drenched, profanity-laced sing-along for liberals who stopped being proud of their country on Nov. 8, 2016? That was the day Eli Bauman resolved to start writing what would become 44: The Musical, which began a limited run in Washington, D.C., last month after stints in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. You might be surprised to learn that 44 was created by a white male Millennial nepo baby. Bauman is the son of Jon "Bowzer" Bauman—best known as the greaser...

Saggezza Eterna@FinalTelegraph·10hLet's Get Serious: Should Obama ACTUALLY Be Arrested?The historical record of the Obama presidency is a ledger of criminal activity disguised as progressive evolution. Barack Obama transformed the executive branch from a constitutional office into a weapon of partisan warfare. His tenure established a precedent for the total subversion of the American republic. We are living in the wreckage of a nation he intentionally dismantled to satisfy a radical vision of globalist integration. The immunity he enjoys is a symptom of the systemic corruption he perfected. Jailing Obama is the only way to restore the integrity of the law.Operation...

Ex-president runs gaslight psyop claiming Republicans weaponize the DOJ against Dems - when his cronies did the exact same thing! Former President Barack Obama faced pushback after he claimed that presidents shouldn’t use the Attorney General’s office to prosecute political enemies, with many pointing to the vicious lawfare campaign waged by him and his Democrat cohorts against President Donald Trump.Obama made the remarks during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, debuting his new presidential center in Chicago.“Now that you’re no longer in office, what powers do you believe the president should not have?” Colbert asked.Obama: "The White...

Cole Allen, the man being held for an armed incursion into the White House Correspondents' Dinner, is demanding that he be released without bail, saying "I didn't shoot or hurt anyone. I know I wrote a manifesto saying that I wanted to shoot President Trump, but I didn't actually do it. At the last moment, as I was lying on the floor in handcuffs, I decided not to. All I might be guilty of is illegal trespassing or disorderly conduct. I represent no danger to the public." Former President Obama was impressed by Allen's logic, saying "his reasoning sounds both...

Last week, the Department of Justice announced that former FBI director James B. Comey has been again indicted by a Federal Grand Jury, this time in the Eastern District of North Carolina. The criminal offenses charged against Comey are precise and limited; two counts of threating harm to the President. They involve his posting of images of seashells arranged as “86 47.” 86 being slang for kill and Trump being the 47th president. Kash Patel, the current FBI director, commented that Comey “disgracefully encouraged a threat on President Trump’s life and posted it on Instagram for the world to see.”...
