Sriram Krishnan, Senior White House Policy Advisor on Artificial Intelligence, joined the Monday edition of TBPN to explain why the U.S.-UAE AI Partnership is a strategic victory for the United States in its race to lead AI development against China, a perspective largely (and unsurprisingly) overlooked by mainstream media.

SRIRAM KRISHAN: We signed the first AI acceleration partnership. You guys probably read about in the press, but there are probably three important components that just, I wanted to have the technology brothers have the alpha and the have the first group on that. The most important part, the first part, is that this represents a large investment in U.S. data centers and U.S. AI infrastructure. So these countries will be investing in U.S. AI infrastructure. To make them as equal, if not larger, than the data centers and infrastructure they’re building back home. So this means, obviously a large infusion of capital revenue to data centers here in America.

SALISBURY, Md. – Wicomico County’s Memorial Day Ceremony will be held Monday, May 26 at 10 a.m. at the Wicomico War Veterans’ Memorial in front of the Wicomico Civic Center.

The ceremony honors Wicomico County veterans who died in the line of duty. All are welcome and encouraged to attend this free event, which is organized by members of the Wicomico County War Memorial Committee.

As part of the annual ceremony, there will be a lowering of the colors by the Wicomico County JROTC, ringing of the Red Knights Memorial Bell, branch prayers, and a volley of arms by the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office. Veterans and their families will be recognized during the ceremony, including a special family tribute to Gold Star Mothers. War Memorial Committee members will perform the Reading of Veterans’ Names, which recognizes those Wicomico County residents who have fallen in the line of service.

In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the Wicomico Civic Center’s Midway Room.

About the Wicomico War Veterans’ Memorial

In 2002, a group of veterans from all branches of the military came together to honor and preserve the memory of Wicomico County’s fallen heroes. As a result, the Wicomico War Veterans’ Memorial was erected at the Wicomico Civic Center, which is itself a living war memorial to all veterans. Flags from each service branch, along with a United States, Maryland, Wicomico County and the POW-MIA flag, now proudly fly over a brick wall displaying bronze plaques with the names of Wicomico County’s fallen veterans beginning with World War I.

The Wicomico County War Memorial Committee has continued the work it began in 2002. Committee members are actively seeking information on those listed on the memorial. If you have information to share about a fallen service person, please email Tricia Collins at tcollins@wicomicocounty.org.

To help preserve the memorial and honor a loved one who has served or is serving, citizens may purchase a Tree of Honor Gold Leaf. Engraved with his or her name and a short message, the leaf will be displayed on the Veterans’ Tree of Honor in the Wicomico Civic Center lobby. Leaves are $100 each. Please contact Tricia Collins at 410-548-4900. All proceeds are placed in a fund designated to maintain the War Memorial into perpetuity.

A New Hampshire man who was heralded as the first black sheriff in the state’s history was sentenced on Monday to 3 1/2 years in prison for squandering $19,000 of taxpayers’ money on expensive getaways with multiple love interests — and then lying to investigators about what he’d done. Tightly following the script we’ve seen so many times before, the disgraced “barrier-breaker” had previously said fellow Democrats who investigated his crimes were racists, and that his term in office was “rife with inequities.” Despite repeatedly lying to the court and violating his bail conditions, his sentence was a fraction of what prosecutors sought.

At 35 years old, Democrat Mark Brave was also the youngest-ever sheriff in New Hampshire history when he was elected in November 2020 — following the summer of George Floyd and amid the Black Lives Matter mania that swept the country and helped usher under-qualified blacks into many top roles in and out of law enforcement. “It’s something I feel should have happened a long time ago, but I’m honored that I will be the person to pave the way,” said Brave at the time. (Alas, some barriers proved insurmountable that year, as a self-described transgender Satanist lost the Cheshire County New Hampshire sheriff race.)

A high school teacher who is accused of starting an eight-month illicit relationship with one of her students had sex with the boy in her classroom just hours before she was arrested, authorities in Florida have said.

Brooke Anderson, 27, faces three counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Anderson, a science teacher at Riverview High School, southeast of Tampa, is accused of starting the relationship in September last year, the minor told investigators.

The relationship began with sexually explicit text messages and “escalated” in the weeks leading up to her arrest, according to the sheriff’s office.

Multiple instances of sexual activity were reported between Anderson and the student.

Leo Terrell, the Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights and former Fox News contributor, has publicly suggested that former First Lady Jill Biden could face criminal charges for what he deems “elder abuse” against her husband, Joe Biden.

Terrell took to social media to express his concerns, reposting a tweet from a conservative commentator and adding his own commentary: “Elder Abuse! Criminal Charges??”

Terrell’s implication was unmistakable: Jill Biden may have knowingly concealed her husband’s serious health decline during his presidency and subjected him to undue stress by propping him up for another grueling presidential campaign—all for political gain.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Jill Biden was the driving force behind Joe Biden’s decision to run again in 2024.

While President Claudia Sheinbaum continues to refuse permission for US forces to go after the Cartels in their territory, and does not act against them, the criminal organizations have opened a veritable hunting season of politicians.

2024 saw a record 661 attacks on people and facilities related to politics, and this year also maintains the horrific pace.

A mayoral candidate in the southern state of Guerrero; the mayor of Cotija in Michoacán state; the mayor of Guerrero’s capital, Chilpancingo, was decapitated; a high-ranking the governing party, was shot and killed in Veracruz; a female mayoral candidate and her daughter gunned down in a livestream – the list goes on.

Now, the hitlist is getting closer and close to the president: a visibly shaken Sheinbaum confirmed today that Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz, her secretary and advisor, were murdered in Mexico City.

Update (1100ET): House Democrats melted down following the announcement that the US attorney in New Jersey, Alina Habba (formerly President Trump’s lawyer) will bring charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) following a May 9 incident at an ICE detention facility in Newark.

McIver is accused of assaulting federal officers during the protest, while Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) were not charged.

In a joint statement, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the rest of the Democratic leadership – who, if you recall, were frothing at the mouth to lock up Jan. 6 protesters for simple trespassing – slammed Habba.

“The proceeding initiated by the so-called U.S. Attorney in New Jersey is a blatant attempt by the Trump administration to intimidate Congress and interfere with our ability to serve as a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch.”

According to Punchbowl news;

McIver has some constitutional protection under the Speech or Debate Clause from being charged with a crime while engaged in legitimate legislative activity. The New Jersey Globe reported that McIver has retained defense lawyers to handle the case, including Paul Fishman, a former U.S. attorney for New Jersey.

There will also be an Ethics Committee investigation into McIver as required under House rules if a member is charged with a crime. Democrats can block anything from happening there.

Now to see how Speaker Mike Johnson and top Republicans handle the situation.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio ended Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen’s career on Tuesday during a hearing on the State Department’s budget for 2026.

Rubio defended deporting dangerous criminal alien gang members to El Salvador and torched Van Hollen in the process.

“We deported gang members — including the one you had a margarita with — And that guy is a human trafficker and that guy is a gang banger,” Rubio said of Van Hollen’s pet Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

WATCH:

Last month Van Hollen met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a wife beater and alleged MS-13 gang banger who was deported for illegally residing in Maryland – and YOU paid for his political stunt.

House Republicans managed to get the HB 1, also known as the “Big Beautiful Bill” to the floor for a vote on Wednesday evening, much to the surprise of skeptics who thought the GOP caucus was too fractured to get it done.

In a 215-214 vote, the Big Beautiful Bill passed the chamber and will head to the Senate, where it is almost guaranteed to face a lot of opposition. But, for now, the House has accomplished what was once considered an impossible task. It survived after losing two Republican votes in Thomas Massie and Warren Davidson.

In what seemed to be a Herculean effort, House Speaker “Magic Mike” Johnson was able to get the various factions of the House GOP—the Freedom Caucus, the SALT Caucus, Main Street Republicans, and others—to come together for the vote. It took several rounds of meetings, including a lengthy White House meeting on Wednesday afternoon, to get the bill across the finish line.

There are several key components of the bill, which include some budget cuts and savings, though conservatives have continued to express a desire for steeper and more immediate cuts. One of the impediments to the bill initially was a desire from the SALT Caucus to get SALT deductions back on the table. It appears, according to reports, that they got at least some of what they wanted.

President Trump on Tuesday said the people who ran Joe Biden’s autopen committed treason.

“Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will. It wasn’t his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to get criminals out of our Country, and go through the process we are going through now. It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger. This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country. The Joe Biden that everybody knew would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and the mentally insane to come into our Country totally unchecked and unvetted. All anyone has to do is look up his record. Something very severe should happen to these Treasonous Thugs that wanted to destroy our Country, but couldn’t, because I came along. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said on Truth Social.

The Oversight Project recently released an analysis of Joe Biden’s pardons for family members, Dr. Tony Fauci, General Milley, J6 Committee members, and Gerald Lundergan.

Joe Biden also issued a blanket pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, after promising not to intervene in the Justice Department’s prosecution of tax and gun crimes.

Across the country, a new defense is being heard in state and federal courtrooms. From Democratic members of Congress to judges to city council members, officials claim that their duties include obstructing the official functions of the federal government.

It is a type of liberal license that excuses almost any crime in the name of combating what Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called the “modern-day Gestapo” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The latest claimant of this license is Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a protest at Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.

McIver is shown on video forcing her way into the facility and striking and shoving agents in her path.

The White House doctor who previously gave President Joe Biden a clean bill of health is a longtime family friend — as speculation of a cover-up over his new cancer diagnosis continues to ramp up.

Dr. Kevin O’Connor served as the 82-year-old’s official physician during his White House stint — and repeatedly insisted for years that Biden was in top mental shape despite his obvious cognitive decline.

Now, in the wake of Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, O’Connor’s longstanding relationship with the Biden clan has come under renewed scrutiny.

Monday on FNC’s “Special Report,” long-time network personality Brit Hume predicted Democrats would be answering for the alleged cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s health issues for a “generation.”

Hume argued that those in Biden’s inner circle were aware of Biden’s problems.

“I mean, do you think impacts politically are real?” host Bret Baier asked.

“Yes, I think they’re very real,” Hume replied. “And I think, you know, a lot of Democrats have a lot to answer for because they were trying to cover up something that, as I said before, trying to hide something that was unhidable. So, you know, there’s a whole generation of Democratic politicians who have to answer for this, who are all going around saying, now, gee, I never knew Jake Tapper of the media saying that Jake [Sullivan], his national security adviser was saying that he didn’t know anything about this. He … never noticed it somehow, baloney. They all knew. They had to know. It was visible to the public, and they tried to cover it up. They failed.”

Tools using artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, are only liked by 22 percent of Americans in their everyday lives.

This places the country towards the bottom of the ranking when compared to other nations, reports Statista’s Katharina Buchholz according to a survey by Statista Consumer Insights shows.

In India, almost every second respondent said they enjoyed using AI tools, while in China and Spain, the number is still just over one in three.

ChatGPT and other AI tools are least popular in Japan, where only 10 percent of respondents said they were excited about using AI software in their everyday lives.

The popularity of AI software is also low in Italy (20 percent).

The Episcopal Church rejected the Trump administration’s request for assistance, saying it would not help the 59 South African refugees that arrived in the U.S. on Monday.

The church’s presiding bishop, Sean Rowe, took it a step further and said the Episcopal Migration Ministries would be terminating its 40-year-old partnership with the U.S. government, according to a statement from the church published Monday.

“In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step,” Rowe’s statement read.

Entrepreneur Elon Musk met with Republicans of the Senate Committee on Commerce on May 20 to talk about artificial intelligence and energy.

Musk met in his capacity as the CEO of xAI, an AI company he founded in 2023.

He carried his son on his shoulders as he exited the meeting.

Musk’s appearance comes as President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), and other Republicans race to get their reconciliation budget bill passed in the House.

That legislation would include a 10-year moratorium on AI regulations from states and localities.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who chairs the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Technology, told The Epoch Times that AI language in the bill came up but “not on a significant basis.”

Obama’s legacy started early in his presidency. Not quite in office for six months, Obama showed his hand with his characterization that “The police acted stupidly” in reference to the arrest of Henry Louis Gates a professor at Harvard who, locked out of his house, broke in. A neighbor, not recognizing Gates, called 911. The police arrived, things didn’t go well, and Gates was arrested.

When asked about race and the incident a week later, Obama responded:

I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home, and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there’s a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.

Without the facts, Obama stated the police acted stupidly and implied that racism might have played a role. Nothing, however, about Gates’ reported “loud and tumultuous behavior.” For Obama, it was just racism and police misbehavior.

Hoover Institute Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Wednesday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are the two people he believes are “articulating” the Trump administration’s “counterrevolution.”

Both Rubio and Bessent have been key players in President Donald Trump’s second term agenda. Appearing on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Hanson said Rubio and Bessent have impressed him.

“When you look at who is really articulating this counterrevolution, it is Scott Bessent in economics and Marco Rubio in State,” Hanson said. “Without those two guys, I think they’d be in trouble because they have a reassuring, calm [demeanor], but they’re very tough, and they don’t back down, and they’re not afraid of controversy. When you sent Rubio down to Panama, after all the media was going crazy [saying] ‘We’re going to invade Panama,’ and he went down there, and he just solved the problem. [He] soothed everything over, but he did not back down.”

“I do think they have so many balls in the air,” Hanson added. “They’ve got the Ukraine war. They’ve got the Iranian nuclear negotiations. They’ve got the hostages with Hamas. I think they need to — I know that [Steve] Witkoff is a special envoy, but no special [envoy] can be doing all of that. It would be very wise, I think, if all of that was bundled back into the State Department and Rubio himself.”

While testifying before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Tuesday, Rubio snapped back on Democrat Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen after the lawmaker accused Rubio of denying illegal migrant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia due process.

The exchange between the two got heated after Van Hollen told Rubio that he “regrets” voting him in for secretary of state. Rubio heard Van Hollen’s words and took them to mean that Rubio is “doing a good job.”

The optics are grim for far-left Maryland Governor Wes Moore. As the state grapples with a fiscal crisis (deficit explosion), a credit downgrade, illegal alien invasion, violent crime, the looming threat of resident and business flight, a potential tsunami of new taxes, and a worsening power crisis, Moore is facing a growing backlash from all Marylanders. His ability to lead is increasingly being questioned—and it’s becoming clear he’s far from presidential material.

Moore has managed to anger both sides of the political aisle. The latest outrage comes from within his own party after he vetoed a bill that would have established a state commission to study and recommend reparations for African Americans affected by slavery.

In a letter explaining his decision, Moore said it’s not the time for another study, emphasizing the need for direct action to address racial disparities such as the wealth gap, homeownership, education, and food insecurity.

“I will always protect and defend the full history of African Americans in our state and country,” Moore wrote in his letter, adding, “But in light of the many important studies that have taken place on this issue over nearly three decades, now is the time to focus on the work itself: Narrowing the racial wealth gap, expanding homeownership, uplifting entrepreneurs of color, and closing the foundational disparities that lead to inequality — from food insecurity to education.”

Medical providers who encouraged gender transition drugs and procedures for minors may now face federal investigation.

The Federal Trade Commission is reportedly considering legal action against the doctors and medical providers behind the spike in gender transitions in recent years, according to a memo reported on by The Daily Wire.

“Every available and legal means to protect children from harmful transgender procedures should be taken,” said Stanley Goldfarb, a medical doctor and Chairman of the medical advocacy group, Do No Harm. “The FTC is right to recognize that medical institutions captured by gender ideology are deceiving concerned parents into allowing their children to undergo these dangerous interventions. We applaud the FTC and the Trump Administration for taking this important step towards protecting children.”

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., responded to the media report by praising the FTC “for investigating the horrific scheme to target minors with barbaric gender procedures.”

“Everyone involved – including the ‘doctors’ – should face massive liability for the damage they did to vulnerable children,” he added.

Meanwhile, many medical groups have insisted that gender transition care is helpful to those who need it. This issue was front and center in the presidential election where now President Donald Trump promised to take on the transgender agenda in the U.S. The FTC news is the latest example of the administration taking on this controversial issue.

Former President Joe Biden’s last Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test was done in 2014, while he was serving as vice president in the Obama administration, his office announced Tuesday.

The PSA blood test is one of the most common ways to screen for prostate cancer.

“Prior to Friday, President Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer,” a spokesperson for the former president’s office said, addressing rumors that the 82-year-old had been quietly diagnosed while leading the executive branch.

The announcement on Sunday that Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to the bone reportedly shocked both longtime members of the Democrat’s inner circle and doctors alike.

According to the New York Post, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, a family friend of the Bidens who served as his White House physician, did not mention a PSA test in his report on the former president’s February 2024 physical exam.

“I think the likely scenario, knowing Kevin O’Connor pretty well, is that they had a discussion on what a PSA test is, and they decided not to do one because it would likely be elevated and cause a story, since a lot of older men have high PSAs that are false positives,” a long-serving aide to Biden told the Post on Monday.

“A blood test has a paper trail,” the aide said. “They probably just didn’t do the test. I think it would leak if he had a PSA test they tried to bury.”

“What’s ironic is that if they didn’t give the president a PSA test because of the potential for optics of a possible false positive, that decision is ultimately going to lead to his death because they could have caught it earlier,” the person added.

Dr. Zeke Emanuel, an oncologist and bioethicist who helped draft the Affordable Care Act, told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday that Biden’s prostate cancer has been growing and spreading “for many years, maybe even a decade.”

“He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days,” Emanuel said. “He had it while he was president. He probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021.”

Two Israeli Embassy staff members were shot and killed on Wednesday evening near the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C., according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Washington D.C. police began investigating after reports indicated two victims had been shot across the street from the FBI’s Washington Field Office, near the museum, according to CNN. Around 10 p.m., Noem said the two killed were staff members for the Israeli Embassy, saying on X that the department is working to gather more information.

“Two Israeli Embassy staff were senselessly killed tonight near the Jewish Museum in Washington DC. We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share. Please pray for the families of the victims. We will bring this depraved perpetrator to justice,” Noem wrote.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said on X that she and Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Washington Jeanine Pirro were at the scene, adding they are working to learn more information.

“I am on the scene of the horrible shooting outside the Washington, DC Capital Jewish Museum with @USAttyPirro. Praying for the victims of this violence as we work to learn more,” Bondi wrote.

Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said during a press conference that a 30-year-old suspect had been pacing outside of the museum prior to the incident. The suspect then approached a group of four people before opening fire.

As the anatomy of the great Joe Biden cover-up emerges, one dark figure stands menacingly taller than the rest.

That would be Vogue cover girl Dr. Jill Biden, who is starting to look more like Dr. Evil — a cartoonishly terrible, power hungry and reckless movie villain — every day.

This week, as Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s devastating book “Original Sin” detailing the Dem’s elaborate cover up of the 46th President’s infirmity as he ran — or, ahem, as he was run — for a second shot at the White House, Biden dropped a bombshell prostate cancer diagnosis.

The timing was undoubtedly meant to shift sympathy to the family and soften the atomic boom of the scandal.

Transportation Secretary Duffy cites safety concerns, reversing Obama-era policy that relaxed enforcement

The Trump administration on Tuesday took steps to begin enforcing a law that requires truck drivers to speak English.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was in Austin, Texas, where he signed an order to direct the Department of Transportation to enforce the law.

Duffy framed the move as a safety issue for America’s roadways.

“For too long, misguided policies have prioritized political correctness over safety of the American people,” Duffy said.

Under federal law, a driver must “read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records.”

The move came after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on April 28 directing the Department of Transportation to include English literacy tests for our truckers.

New economic data shows key Chinese industries continuing to struggle in the wake of President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs.

Retail sales, which track the sale of new and used goods to the general public, slowed to 5.1% in April, missing official projections for a 5.5% expansion, according to numbers from China’s National Statistics Bureau reviewed by Reuters. China’s industrial output fell to 6.1%, down from 7.7% the month before, as tariffs keep biting Chinese factories.

Following Trump’s tariffs taking effect, 16 million Chinese jobs were put at risk of vanishing, leading to layoffs and worker protests. Even though recent talks led to Tariffs being lowered from 145% to 30% over the next 90 days to allow for further trade talks, experts say China’s economy is not likely to rebound quickly.

“When you increase the tariffs to such a high level, many companies decide to stop hiring and to start basically sending the workers back home,” Alicia Garcia-Herrero, chief Asia Pacific economist at investment bank Natixis, told Reuters.

She estimated that if the tariffs were raised back to April’s level, China’s economy could slow by as much as 2.5%. Even in a best case scenario, China’s economic growth is likely to stall.

“At 30%, I doubt they will say, okay, come back. Because it’s still high,” she added. “Maybe the Chinese government is saying, wow, this was amazing. But I think many companies are not sure that this is going to work.”

Libtards across America are in panic mode because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is cleaning up the food, water, medicine and vaccines that are completely adulterated with chemicals, toxins, carcinogens, GMOs, and other contaminants that make people sick and demented. Maybe the Democrats are losing their minds because they are in a detoxification state, or it could just be that they’re all suffering from a political pandemic called KDS – Kennedy Derangement Syndrome.

At congressional hearings, deranged Democrats and lunatic Liberals are screaming in fits of rage that RFK Jr. is killing people with hate. Yes, you can’t make this stuff up, unless you’re a deranged Libtard, like Ben & Jerry’s founder, Ben Cohen, who desperately wants to keep toxic fluoride in his drinking water forever and prescription drug prices as high as possible. Maybe there’s poison in the Chunky Monkey ice cream?

Lunatic Liberals and Deranged Democrats are fighting to keep chemicals in food, water and medicine while screaming for more war, embezzlements and open borders

The Liberals don’t know what the heck they want. They hate peace. They love war. They love open borders and abortions. They like human trafficking and fentanyl. They hate electric cars even though they demanded everyone in the world drive them just a year ago. They hate government accountability and transparency. They love inflation. Now they’re screaming mad because toxic chemicals are being investigated that flood our food, water and medicine supply. How dare Trump and the allies try to remove artificial dyes from ice cream! Fight for chemicals in food now. Take a stand at Senate hearings.

Yes, Kennedy Derangement Syndrome is sweeping the nation. It’s another pandemic outbreak to add to the chaos of the other two political pandemics, Trump Derangement Syndrome and Musk Derangement Syndrome. The schizophrenic Dems want violence and destruction and they are willing to go to jail for it.

Democrats want prescription drug prices to keep rising and they are screaming mad, showing their hate at Senate hearings and spewing vile and disgusting hate at RFK Jr. while he tries to fix this country.

Democrats want everyone to donate all of their money to the globalists who run the climate alarmism Ponzi scheme. Democrats want terrorists in Israel and Palestine to keep blowing up innocent people, running guns and human trafficking operations, and starting World War III.

New Jersey Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver has been charged with assault and impeding law enforcement for her actions during a protest outside a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Newark, New Jersey earlier this month.

During the protest McIver could be seen screaming at and pushing federal agents, saying “I touch whoever I want motherf****r… You will pay!”

The incident also resulted in the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was charged with trespassing – a charge which was later dropped, according to US Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba.

Scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) have developed a single vaccine that targets multiple strains of influenza – including swine flu, bird flu and seasonal flu – fueling concerns that the next plandemic is on the horizon.

The experimental vaccine, designed using advanced computational modeling, has shown promise in protecting pigs against diverse influenza A viruses. The researchers have also expressed optimism that the injection will protect birds and humans from these pathogens. But skeptics warn that such vaccines may carry unforeseen dangers, including immune suppression and failure against mutated strains.

In a study published late last month in Nature Communications, the UNL researchers detailed how the Epigraph vaccine – named after the software used to design it – outperformed existing commercial vaccines in swine trials. Pigs vaccinated with Epigraph developed robust immunity against 12 different flu strains – including the H1N1 virus responsible for the 2009 swine flu pandemic. The H1N1 strain infected a quarter of the global population and killed over half a million people.

Dr. Eric Weaver, the study’s lead author, called the findings a critical step toward a universal flu vaccine that could last a decade or longer. “If we can prevent influenza in swine, we can cut off the virus’s evolutionary advantage,” he added. According to Weaver, also the director of the Nebraska Center for Virology at UNL, pigs often act as a “mixing vessel” for dangerous zoonotic jumps between birds and humans.

Is the Epigraph flu injection a Trojan horse for the next plandemic?

The Epigraph vaccine was developed after researchers analyzed over 6,000 influenza strains from the past century to identify common viral markers (epitopes) that trigger immune responses. Unlike traditional vaccines, which target rapidly mutating surface proteins, targeting these epitopes could lead to broader, longer-lasting protection.

Weaver’s team is now testing a dual H1/H3 variant vaccine, with hopes of eventual human trials. However, no timeline has been set for public availability.

DETROIT (Reuters) – General Motors late last week informed employees and dealers for its China export business it would stop shipping vehicles to China from the United States, the company said.

The move comes as the United States and China continue discussions on tariffs and other trade issues.

GM imported vehicles to China from the United States through its Durant Guild premium import business, which represented less than 0.1% of the volume it sells in China, according to a company spokesperson.

“Due to significant changes to economic conditions, we have decided to restructure The Durant Guild and correspondingly optimize GM China’s operations,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

Illegal aliens are being recruited to join sophisticated criminal networks in the United States that stage accidents and injuries to get payouts through the nation’s personal injury system, House Republicans told Attorney General Pam Bondi.

In a letter led by Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), the group of Republicans warned Bondi that personal injury fraud is a growing industry in the U.S. that requires immediate attention from the Department of Justice (DOJ).

“These fraudulent schemes pose serious risks to public safety, increase consumer costs, and raise insurance premiums for the motoring public,” the Republicans wrote. “According to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, insurance fraud costs the U.S. $308 billion annually, with $45 billion attributable to property and casualty insurance fraud. More importantly, these activities put innocent motorists at risk of injury or even death.”

The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that would eliminate federal taxes on tips, advancing with the help of Democrats a top campaign promise of President Trump.

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) brought the bill to the floor with the expectation that it would be blocked, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) declined to. It passed via unanimous consent (UC).

“I just want to say: This is great news for Nevada,” Rosen said after the bill was advanced, lauding the work of the millions of hospitality and service workers in her home state, who she says are being “squeezed by rising costs.”

“This bill is not the be-all, end-all, but it’s going to offer immediate financial relief while the Senate continues to work to lower costs and find other avenues of relief for hardworking families,” she said before yielding the floor.

Trump unveiled the idea last year during a campaign stop in Nevada, which is home to scores of tipped workers.

When Elon Musk joined the Trump administration with the goal of eliminating waste, fraud and abuse through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), he set a lofty $2 trillion goal.

Now, four months later, DOGE has cut roughly $170 billion – a figure much lower than projected – in no small part due to activist judges and political pushback which have stopped the Trump administration from eliminating wide swaths of government bloat.

On Tuesday, Musk said it was up to Congress to make it happen.

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey is playing dumb and innocent after essentially calling for President Trump to be assassinated last week, claiming he had no idea his post would be so controversial.

After Comey posted an image of shells on a beach he arranged to read ‘8647’, meaning get rid of Trump, The Secret Service questioned him, but then let him go without any charges.

In the immediate aftermath of the Sunday announcement from former President Joe Biden’s personal office that he had been diagnosed with “prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the thoughts and prayers that poured in were followed by questions about his diagnosis.

There was speculation as to whether this was known much sooner than we were told, and if so, who knew what and when. After all, considering the advanced stage of the cancer, isn’t this something that potentially could have been discovered through bloodwork via a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test during Biden’s presidency as part of a routine physical exam, and also considering they are recommended every two to three years for most men 55 and older?

Predictably, there are some in the media and on the left who are calling for a pause of sorts in criticism of Biden as he fights cancer, including from former Obama senior advisor David Axelrod, who told CNN Sunday that talk of Biden’s decline during his presidency “should be more muted and set aside for now as he’s struggling through this.”

Vice President JD Vance, however, had a much different take when asked about the subject Monday. After saying “Hopefully, he makes the right recovery,” here were Vance’s thoughts on the appropriateness of asking questions now:

“Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job,” Vance said. “You can separate the desire for him to have the right health outcome with the recognition that whether it was doctors or whether there were staffers around the former president ‒ I don’t think he was able to do a good job for the American people.”

“That’s not politics. That’s not because I disagreed with him on policy,” Vance said. “That’s because I don’t think that he was in good enough health.”

“I blame him less than I blame the people around him,” Vance said of Biden. “Why didn’t the American people have a better sense of his health picture? Why didn’t the American people have more accurate information about what he was actually dealing with?”

There is a deeper scandal than Biden’s cognitive impairment in the belatedly released audio recording of special counsel Robert Hur interviewing the then-president in October 2023 over his illegal retention of classified documents.

Hur had Biden cold on the same federal felonies special counsel Jack Smith charged Donald Trump with just four months earlier.

In the initial 13-minute segment of the Hur tapes released late Friday, Biden meanders and can’t remember crucial dates, reflecting a narrative that supports Hur’s convenient conclusion that he was guilty, but unfit for trial: an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

But the full audio paints a different picture: Biden is in command of the facts when it suits him, but grows vague and filibusters every time he perceives the prosecutors are building a trap. Crazy like a fox.

George Wendt, the actor who portrayed Norm Peterson, a key character on the classic sitcom Cheers, has passed away at the age of 76. Wendt apparently passed peacefully in his sleep.

Cheers ran for 11 seasons and was one of the most popular TV shows in the country at its height. The show’s run began in 1982 and ended in 1993, shortly before the advent of the internet.

Norm was known for his grand entrances and his regular spot at the end of the bar where he would sit and enjoy a beer.

The Supreme Court handed a major win to the Trump administration on Monday, granting its request to proceed with revoking legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants.

In a brief order, the justices approved an emergency application from the administration, allowing officials to undo a Biden-era extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) that shields Venezuelans from deportation and grants them work permits. Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter, indicating she would have denied the request.

The decision allows Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to move forward with a policy reversal that would strip protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelans who were granted TPS due to political and humanitarian crises in their home country.

Tuesday, during an appearance on Newsmax 2’s “The Todd Starnes Show,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said recent revelations about former President Joe Biden’s health have raised questions about Biden’s executive actions.

Bailey said two things were possible: a medical malpractice case or a political cover-up.

“[W]hat concerns you so far about these disturbing revelations regarding the president’s health?” host Todd Starnes asked.

“Well, I think this is a cover-up of the greatest order of magnitude in this nation’s history,” Bailey replied. “We had a president who was president in name only. Whoever exercised authority over his autopen exercised the authority of the executive branch of government. And when I read that article in the Constitution, it says that all executive authority is vested in a singular president, and the Constitution provides a method by which, if a president is incapacitated, he is replaced in office. And that doesn’t include unnamed staffers who are unaccountable to the electorate and we, the people, and yet that’s what we got. This growing quantum of evidence of his mental decline was furthered this week with the cancer diagnosis.”

The DOGE just keeps on winning for the taxpayers. And they aren’t just uncovering wasteful spending; they are rooting out fraud, as well. But the DOGE isn’t the only group out there seeking out waste and fraud in government.

Government waste is rampant in Washington these days, but deliberate fraud and abuse of government credit cards is, if anything, worse than simple waste; fraud is a greater level of corruption, in which there is a deliberate decision made to abuse government spending authority. That is what the Department of Defense Inspector General has found: Over 8,000 questionable transactions on government credit cards – and the House Oversight Committee is demanding answers.

The X post continues:

There is an attached letter from the Oversight Committee Chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) to the Comptroller General of the United States, Gene Dodaro.

Tuesday, on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reacted to revelations she was surveilled by federal air marshals.

According to Gabbard, she was targeted in August 2024 after criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris, who at the time had just inherited the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.

CBS News president Wendy McMahon abruptly resigned on Monday amid President Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against the network’s parent company Paramount for deceptively editing a ’60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris.

“It’s become clear that the company and I do not agree on a path forward,” Wendy McMahon said in an email to staff just weeks after the top “60 Minutes” producer resigned.

President Trump originally sought $10 billion in damages, but earlier this year he amended the complaint and increased it to $20 billion.

The New York Times reported:

CBS News faced another shock wave on Monday after its president, Wendy McMahon, abruptly said that she would exit her post, the latest development in an ongoing showdown between the news division and President Trump.

Ms. McMahon, whose full title was president of CBS News and Stations, said in a memo that “it’s become clear the company and I do not agree on the path forward.”

Tensions between Ms. McMahon and CBS’s parent company, Paramount, have simmered for months, a period that Ms. McMahon described in her memo as “challenging.”

WASHINGTON — Stunned longtime aides to former President Joe Biden told The Post Monday that his stage 4 prostate cancer should have been caught long before it spread to his bones — and that they fear concern about public reaction delayed a possible diagnosis.

“I do believe that they felt like something was going on, and were worried about it and kind of hedged around it for a little bit,” said one White House staffer who worked in close proximity to Biden, 82.

Unlike the apparently concerted coverup of Biden’s declining mental fitness, the sources suspect willful ignorance of his condition out of fear of the effect that a prognosis would have on last year’s election — in which Biden repeatedly refused to bow out to allow Democrats an open contest for his successor.

Are you ready to pay 80 percent more for a USB-C cord?  Unfortunately, Walmart, Target and other major retailers have decided to start dramatically raising the prices of thousands of imported products.

Of course our paychecks are not going up dramatically as well, and so our standard of living is going to go down. We live at a time when 70 percent of Americans are already more financially stressed than they have ever been before, and now big corporations are going to be hitting us with a tsunami of enormous price hikes.

If prices of many imported goods go up by 5 or 10 percent, we can handle that.

But apparently Target is going nuts with their price hikes.  For example, it is being reported that the price of one popular USB-C cord is being increased by 80 percent…

Now, thanks to insider information from Target workers, the extent of the raises are becoming apparent. Staff say it is just the beginning.

A $9.99 USB-C cord from the store’s in-house Heyday brand is now ringing up at $17.99, according to a self-identified employee on Reddit.

‘It’s happening,’ the worker wrote, sharing a photo of the price tag update. ‘All of Heyday is going up.’

Seriously?

Did Target really need to do this?

US Attorney Alina Habba announced federal charges against Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver for assaulting ICE agents.

“Today my office has charged Congresswoman McIver with violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111(a)(1) for assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement,” Alina Habba said on Monday evening.

“No one is above the law — politicians or otherwise,” Alina Habba said.

A top Food and Drug Administration (FDA) official said on May 15 that she never took a COVID-19 vaccine due to concerns about biodistribution.

Dr. Sara Brenner, the FDA’s principal deputy commissioner, said during an event in Washington that she did not receive any of the COVID-19 vaccines.

Brenner said that she was pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It was unknown at the time what the biodistribution patterns of those products were, and in my case, in particular, what the excretion would be in breast milk,” Brenner said. “That was my primary concern, and that exposure I was very concerned about.”

When asked whether the information that has emerged since then validates her choice, Brenner, who said she was not speaking on behalf of the FDA, said she thinks it does.

Researchers reported in a 2022 paper that messenger ribonucleic acid, which is in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 shots, was detected in human breast milk. Another paper, in 2023, detailed similar findings.

Ten inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail early Friday morning, with surveillance footage capturing the moment they fled. Three of them were captured by law enforcement as of Saturday.

According to a report by Fox News, the escapees face serious charges including murder, domestic abuse, and burglary. As of Saturday, seven of the inmates remain at large, while three have been captured as of Saturday.

Law enforcement said it has “strong” and “active” leads regarding the whereabouts of the remaining fugitives and believes some may have fled the city or even left the state. The FBI has “surged resources” to assist in the manhunt and is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for tips leading to their capture.

It’s unclear when the epidemic of woke pastors who refuse to follow the Bible became a national thing, but Carla Cheatham is here to give you all the worst takes.

Cheatham has gone viral on social media after explaining why she supports abortion, illegal immigration, and just about everything else that’s wrong with this country.

Pretty sure the Bible warns of people like her, and it’s astonishing that attendees willingly decide to listen to her on Sundays. Nonetheless, there are still so many things wrong with what she said that it’s unclear where to begin.

Firstly, is she going to provide any evidence that “Black lives are under attack,” or is she just going to assume you will take that misleading statement as Gospel? Secondly, why can’t we just leave it at All Lives Matter? Why must we include the “but”? Even if “Black lives are under attack,” which they are not, why would that have anything to do with the fact that all lives matter? That is probably something she will never be able to explain, but it won’t stop her from making asinine claims.

A former top staffer in the Biden White House said on Fox News Sunday that former First Lady Jill Biden’s strategy to prop up former President Joe Biden in public is only harming the Biden legacy.

Michael LaRosa, who served as a longtime press secretary to Jill Biden, admitted that Biden’s team is mishandling the fallout regarding his cognitive decline and Joe Biden’s initial decision to seek reelection in 2024. Despite his affection for the Bidens, the former aide urged Jill and Joe Biden to reconsider how they are handling media appearances in the post-presidency period because their current strategy may be doing more harm than good.

“I’ve tried to be loyal, but try to be candid at the same time. They’ve got to start adjusting the people that they’re listening to because none of it has gotten them anywhere good so far,” LaRosa concluded.

Responding to a question about why Biden continues to be pushed into high-pressure public appearances, LaRosa said that Biden’s inner circle is likely sensitive to how history will judge their choices.

“They’re right to fear that the history is being written right now about their legacy. And I said this back in February of 2024, when he was still in the race that if he loses to Donald Trump, much of his legacy will be erased because it was a really big gamble to take to run again,” LaRosa said.

LaRosa argued the Bidens appear gripped by a “fight or flight mentality” as they face growing criticism. Rather than controlling the narrative early, the team waited too long.

The top two officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation appeared on national television Sunday to clarify numerous mysteries, including the FBI’s role in the U.S. Capitol mayhem on Jan. 6, 2021, the two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump and the purported suicide of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, FBI Director Kash Patel said about Jan. 6: “What was the FBI doing? Well we’ve got answers coming. We just found a trove of information and it’s on its way to Capitol Hill right now. And they’ve asked, and they’re getting them. And you’re getting the answers on Jan. 6.

“You’re getting answers on what sourcing was utilized, what money was utilized, how many assets were utilized, who made those decisions. You’re getting it.”

“We can only control the FBI, but you’re getting it from the FBI,” he added.

Bartiromo asked Patel point blank: “Were there FBI agents undercover egging people on?”

“That answer is coming and it’s on its way to Congress,” he replied.

Following news that Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, President Trump took to Truth Social to express his regards.

Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.

According to WND:

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer “with metastasis to the bone.”

A statement from his personal office Sunday indicated: “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.

“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.

“The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with “aggressive” prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone. This has raised a flurry of questions and theories because, as some doctors have noted on social media, none of this makes any sense.

Were his doctors, who gave him a clean bill of health last year, negligent or incompetent? This seems extremely unlikely considering Biden was President of the United States at the time. He has been receiving the best healthcare in the world for four years.

America’s leading experts have been weighing in on the news that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer.

The news has led to allegations of a “cover-up” due to the cancer’s advanced stage so soon after Biden left the White House.

His cancer was given a Gleason score of 9 and a Grade Group of 5, a devastating stage of the rapidly spreading disease.

The diagnosis came days after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a routine health exam.

However, several doctors have argued that it’s “inconceivable” for Biden to have such an advanced form of cancer that wasn’t spotted during his presidency.

With so much of the focus on President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East, former FBI Director James Comey’s dangerous publicity stunt, and getting Trump’s big, beautiful bill across the finish line, other national and congressional news has gone under the radar. On Friday, Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) announced on X that he would be introducing legislation with the sole purpose of codifying President Donald Trump’s signed executive orders, 151 by last count.

Today, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett announced that he will be introducing legislation to codify President Trump’s Executive Orders. Since his inauguration, President Trump has slashed regulatory red tape, prioritized fiscal conservatism, and effectively closed the Southern Border.

“President Trump has done his part in acting on the mandate from the American people. It’s past time for Congress to take action,” said Representative Burchett.

“I am taking charge to ensure Congress carries out President Trump’s agenda. Thats why I’ll be introducing a series of single-issue bills to support the President and Congressional Republicans’ promise to the American people.”

The first series of bills will enforce DOGE cuts, slash harmful red tape, eliminate foreign influence in our schools, and unleash American energy.

President Trump on Saturday morning went off on the growing Biden autopen scandal after disturbing audio of Robert Hur’s interview with the former president was released.

The President said the autopen scandal was a “major part” of the real crime” that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen.”

Trump also slammed “Dirty cop” James Comey for spying on his 2016 campaign.

“Whoever had control of the “AUTOPEN” is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment. It is a major part of the real crime, THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN! Millions and millions of people knew that, but the Radical Left Democrats waged a campaign of inoculation and innocence like none that had ever been waged before. THIS IS WHY THE UNSELECT COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL THUGS, WHO WERE GIVEN A FULL AND COMPLETE PARDON BY THE PERSON WHO WIELDED THE NOW ILLEGALLY USED AUTOPEN, DELETED AND DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION FROM THEIR CORRUPT AND VICIOUS WITCH HUNT AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE, WHOSE LIVES WERE COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND DESTROYED BY THIS HISTORICALLY CRIMINAL EVENT. Remember, it all began with DIRTY COP James Comey, Obama, a hapless and cognitively impaired Sleepy Joe Biden, and my now very famous ACCUSATION that,“THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!” Whoever had control of the Autopen is just the beginning. The biggest crime of all is that THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED! I (MAGA!) WON THE ELECTION BY MILLIONS OF VOTES, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. GOD BLESS AMERICA, FOR THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN!!!” Trump said on Saturday morning in a Truth Social post.

President Trump raised eyebrows on Saturday – posting a ‘Clinton body count’ clip to Truth Social that suggests several mysterious deaths over the past few decades are linked to the Clintons.

Mentioned in the clip are former Clinton White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton associate James McDougal, Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, and the mysterious death of JFK Jr. which paved the way for Hillary Clinton to become a US Senator.

A new poll has found that Democrat and left-leaning voters view either progressive Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or “no one” as the face of their party.

The party has faced a serious identity crisis after Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency and Kamala Harris’s failed presidential campaign.

A newly released Co/efficient poll of approximately 1,400 voters found:

“Currently, there is no consensus on the face of the Democrat Party, as a majority of voters either give the title to AOC (26%) or simply say there is none (26%). Bernie Sanders falls in a distant second, followed by a handful of others who fail to reach double digits.”

There has been growing speculation that the congresswoman from New York might be preparing for a 2028 presidential bid.

Last week we noted new report from the New York Federal Reserve, which showed that while Americans’ credit card debt is falling, credit scores are starting to decline due to an uptick in student loan delinquencies. 

The NY Fed’s Center for Macroeconomic Data’s quarterly report reveals that overall household debt rose by $167 billion – with credit card debt declining by $29 billion. Yet, the delinquency rate for student loans surged from below 1% to nearly 7.7% after a pandemic-era pause on student loan payments was lifted in September 2023.

While the payments were resumed, policymakers extended a one-year ramp-up period that shielded borrowers’ missed payments from being reported to

Needless to say, it’s total carnage among borrowers, as one can see from Reddit’s ‘StudentLoans’ forum.

“My credit score dropped 240+ points. i dont know what to do!!” said one Redditor, who says she can’t pay her bills because she doesn’t have a job after graduating in 2024.

“My score was in the high 700s and dropped to about 480,” said another Redditor, who said they were notified by reporting agency Experian that their credit “took a massive hit.”

“My transunion and equifax scores took a -100 hit due to my loans “just being recognized this January,”” reported another borrower.

“My credit dropped from a 720 to a 550,” said yet another – who reported having “6 total loans from school” that have been “deferred for a while.”

“Credit Got Torched” reads a Friday post. “i am unfortunately 1 of the 9 million people who received delinquency marks on my credit report from the dept of education for student loans, which decreased my credit score by 118 points.”

Interestingly, several redditors said their scores tanked from loans taken out in their names that they were unaware of – including the first example, who said “I have 10 student loans overall, 5 sub, 5 unsub, and have never had anything else on my credit or anything, no cards or loans, etc. I did get my identity stolen, but I disputed the loans that were taken out fraudulently, and my score was barely affected at all from it.”

James Comey, the holier-than-thou, creepily arrogant former FBI director, raised eyebrows and the attention of federal law enforcement when he posted a picture of seashells on the beach spelling out “86 47.” Subtle, Jim.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that “86” means “get rid of” in the nation’s vernacular, and “47” quite obviously stands for the 47th president—Donald Trump—and Comey was unequivocally calling for his “removal.” James Comey is no rocket scientist, however, and played the dumb guy act and insisted he had no idea what the seashell message so obviously said.

Everyone from the president to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to the Secret Service blasted the social media post, and Comey quickly yanked it from his timeline.

The former Biden administration’s claim to have added nearly 400,000 jobs from July to September of 2024, is being scrutinized after new data released by the Labor Department suggests that none of those jobs ever existed.

Bean counters under the former Biden administration published optimistic estimates for everything from job growth to the size of the economy, only to quietly walk those numbers back and revise them down to more realistic results afterward.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has said he only hires black people because they are the “most generous people on the planet.”

During an event this weekend, Johnson boasted about how black people make the majority of powerful positions in the mayor’s office.

He explained:

There are detractors that will push back on me and say, you know, the only thing that the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people.

No, what I’m saying is, when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet.

I don’t know too many cultures that have play cousins. That’s how generous we are. We just make somebody a family member, right? This is how we are.

So, Business and Economic Neighborhood Development, the deputy mayor, is a black woman. Department of Planning and Development is a black woman. Infrastructure, deputy mayor, is a black woman. Chief Operations Officer is a black man. Budget Director is a black woman. Senior Advisor is a black man.

President Trump went there!

Trump posted a video titled, “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” that documented just some of the mysterious ‘suicides’ linked to the Clinton Crime family.

The video touched on the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, Clinton White House Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton White House intern Mary Mahoney, and others connected to the Clintons.

In July 1999, Hillary Clinton’s senate rival and front-runner for NY senate seat John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash.

Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern who could have been a star witness at the Clinton impeachment trials. She was executed at a DC Starbucks in July 1997.

In July 1993, White House Counsel Vince Foster was found dead of an apparent ‘suicide’ in Fort Marcy Park off the George Washington Parkway in Virginia.

In 1998, James McDougal, a key witness for White House prosecutors and financial partners with Bill and Hillary Clinton that led to the Whitewater scandal, died of cardiac arrest at the Federal Correctional Facility in Fort Worth, Texas, just before he was supposed to testify.

In 2015, Clinton White House Executive Chef Walter Scheib died of an ‘accidental drowning’ after he went on a hike on a trail in Taos, New Mexico. Scheib’s body was found submerged “in a mountain drainage flowing with surface runoff.”

Media that protected Biden until it couldn’t now shamelessly profits off the story they hid

“For posterity’s sake.”

Those words from President Joe Biden sum up the crushing impact of the leaked audiotapes from the interview between him and Special Counsel Robert Hur. Not only did they remove any doubt over Biden committing federal crimes, but they also constituted what is akin to a political racketeering indictment against much of the Washington establishment, from the White House staff to Democratic politicians to the media.

The interview, conducted from Oct. 8-9, 2023, has long been sought by Congress, but was kept under wraps by Biden’s Justice Department even as Biden campaigned for a second term.

Many of us balked at the conclusion of Hur that no charges were appropriate despite the fact that the president had removed classified documents for decades, stored them in grossly negligent ways, and moved them around to unsecure locations, including his garage in Delaware.

Given President Donald Trump’s indictment for the same offenses, it was hard to imagine how the special counsel could not recommend the same criminal charges (presumably after he left office).

Instead, Hur declared it would have been hard to get a jury to convict Biden because he was “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

It may seem cruel, but we must prevent similarly addled men from clinging to power

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. was even more demented than we knew.
Last night, excerpts leaked from Biden’s October 2023 interview with Robert Hur, the federal prosecutor who investigated him for possessing classified documents.

They are awful. They show a man in severe cognitive decline. Biden couldn’t recall even basic facts, like when elections are held. Yes, Joe Biden — who had lusted for the presidency his entire life — thought Donald Trump had won in November 2017, not 2016. It wasn’t a verbal slip. He didn’t know. An aide had to correct him.

Even that summary doesn’t capture Biden’s struggles.

What he says is bad. How he says it is worse. His voice is weak and whispery. He goes silent for stretches, loses his train of thought, offers oddly emotional asides about his son Beau — though he could not remember when Beau died. He seems not to remember being vice president; he speaks of being a senator and then jumps to running for president.

Joe Biden’s decline has gotten even more focus first with the new book from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, “Original Sin,” and now with Thompson’s release of some of the audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview of Biden.

We had previously seen a transcript of the interview. But the audio makes it so much worse. You hear his halting, confused responses, how he couldn’t even remember when his son died, and that he had confusion about even when President Donald Trump became president the first time.

Biden was even confused about the classified material they were grilling him over. His attorney had to intervene to attempt a clean-up of one of his answers. He also wandered off into talking about weird, unrelated subjects like technology and Mongolia during the interview.

Now, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy excoriated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for saying they were “looking forward.”

“I think the leaders that covered this up should have to resign,” McCarthy said. “So that means Schumer and Hakeem should actually resign because they saw the same thing I did,”

Unlike those two, McCarthy called it out and was attacked for it.

“They tried to even do the cover-up,” the former Speaker went on to say. “Instead of just not saying anything, they attacked those who tried to tell the truth, and they allowed the country to be in this position.”

There were times Biden’s mind was not there, McCarthy said, saying once he led him to the swimming pool.

“And why did Jill have to be in so many meetings?” he asked.

Here’s what McCarthy meant when he said Jeffries and Schumer were saying they were “looking forward.” They sound like they were coordinating their response now, covering up the cover-up. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer puts it bluntly to Jeffries: Why should voters trust Democrats when it’s clear so many covered up what was going on with Biden?

The answer was horrible.
