Without State-Run Media and Censorship,

DNI Gabbard sends declassified evidence
to DOJ for possible prosecution of ‘treasonous conspiracy’ 2 replies
to DOJ for possible prosecution of ‘treasonous conspiracy’ 2 replies
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has sent declassified evidence to the Justice Department on what she dubbed a “treasonous conspiracy” related to top U.S. intelligence officials allegedly politicizing intelligence related to Russia and the 2016 election.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) on Friday issued a press release stating that Gabbard had “revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.”
As we've often documented, Democrats have turned gaslighting into an art form, with some of the more notorious examples being Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass denying that any anti-ICE rioting took place in her city, and Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) periodically denying the existence of the radical far-leftist group Antifa.
Of all the Democrats who engage in this insulting tactic, Nadler is perhaps the gaslightiest of all of them, proclaiming during a 2024 House hearing on men invading women's sports, for instance, that "men do not compete in women's sports."
The latest example comes as violent attacks on immigration enforcement agents have increased by over 800 percent
Russia is talking big again. This time, they're making noise about Kaliningrad.
Kaliningrad is a Baltic Sea port city, a detached enclave of Russia surrounded by Poland and Lithuania, both of which are members of NATO. Formerly known as Königsberg until after World War 2, Kaliningrad is seen by Russia as a vulnerable spot, as they have no uncontested land corridor to defend the port.
Now, with the NATO nations ramping up defense spending, Russia is playing up any attack on Kaliningrad as provoking World War 3.
Russian officials on Friday clapped back at a recently announced NATO deterrence plan
Republican lawmakers delivered a thunderous response following Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive declassification of documents proving the Obama administration deliberately manufactured intelligence to create the false Trump-Russia collusion narrative, with revelations that expose what one Republican described as a disinformation campaign against the American people that “makes Watergate look like amateur hour.”
The declassified documents reveal that a December 8, 2016 Presidential Daily Brief stated that Russian actors
The revelations unveiled by America First Legal mark a seismic moment in the ongoing debate over the weaponization of the Department of Justice under the Biden administration. For years, concerned parents who spoke up at school board meetings found themselves caught in the crosshairs of a federal government wielding its power not to protect free speech, but to stifle dissent. Now, explosive new documents obtained by America First Legal leave no room for doubt: the infamous memo from Attorney General Merrick Garland—which painted parents as potential "domestic terrorists,” for speaking out against COVID mandates, critical race theory, and gender ideology—was not a matter of law or public safety

EAST HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES -- At least 30 people were injured after a car plowed through a crowd in East Hollywood, when a driver apparently lost consciousness, authorities said.
The crash occurred shortly before 2 a.m. near the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Vermont Avenue. At least seven people were in critical condition, six were in serious condition and more than a dozen were treated on site, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Twenty-three patients were transported.
Among the injured was a male with a gunshot wound, the LAFD said. Authorities said 124 fire personnel responded at the scene.

financial backers of violent ICE protests
as terrorists 19 replies
President Donald Trump says that if the violent Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots happening across the country are discovered to have central organizers or professional backing he would designate them foreign or domestic terror organizations, similar to what he did with Mexican cartels in February.
"I would do that, and in a minute," Trump told Just the News, No Noise television show Wednesday. I would do that."
Officially designating an organization as a terrorist group in the U.S. criminalizes providing material support, freezes assets, and restricts travel for members and supporters under laws such as the PATRIOT Act.
California’s High-Speed Boondoggle
17 replies
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has terminated the remaining $4 billion of unspent federal funds for California’s beleaguered high-speed rail project. The move is well justified.
In 2008, California voters approved a ballot measure that would allow the state to issue up to $9.95 billion in bonds to support an ambitious plan to build a high-speed rail system. But the state has not lived up to the promises made to its own voters who approved the measure and to the federal government. When it was sold to Californians 16 years ago, state rail officials presented a business plan that envisioned a sprawling 800-mile
On Thursday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rhode Island State Rep. Charlene Lima (D) stated that we should be “commending Mr. Homan and ICE for protecting our streets from these vile criminals” and law enforcement should be required to help ICE and face penalties if they don’t.
Lima said, “What we should be doing is commending Mr. Homan and ICE for protecting our streets from these vile criminals, these child predators, fentanyl traffickers, these are bad people. And we have Mr. Homan and ICE coming in to protect our streets from these type of people, to keep our community safer.”
Key MAGA influencers who were critical of the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files are rallying behind President Donald Trump following the Wall Street Journal’s hit piece on the president, contending he sent a lewd letter to disgraced dead financier Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Journalist Megyn Kelly, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, and journalist Jack Posobiec were among the infleuncers who took to X on Thursday night to question the Journal’s report of an alleged letter Trump supposedly wrote to Epstein in 2003, which Trump says is “FAKE” and has vowed to sue the outlet, News Corp., and Rupert Murdoch over it.
Congress is officially sending a package detailing $9 billion in spending cuts to President Donald Trump’s desk, minutes after midnight on Friday.
The bill, called a "rescissions package," was approved by the House of Representatives in a late-night 216 to 213 vote after intense debate between Republicans and Democrats. Just two Republicans, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Mike Turner, R-Ohio, voted in opposition.
Friday was also the deadline for passing the legislation, otherwise the White House would be forced to re-obligate those funds as planned.
It’s a victory for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., but a mostly symbolic one

Six days before polls closed in the New York City mayoral primary, and hours after former Mayor Michael Bloomberg injected an extra $5 million into former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's mayoral PAC, a group of Muslim Americans began mobilizing nationwide. A few donors told ABC News they knew they couldn't match Cuomo's donors, but believed a small jolt might give Zohran Mamdani a final push in the Democratic primary. After Mamdani's upset victory over the presumed favorite, Cuomo, some of those who supported Mamdani told ABC News they felt their contributions toward his victory could forecast a rise in a larger
A man has died after getting sucked into an MRI machine.
The accident occurred on July 16 at the Nassau Open MRI in Westbury, New York, according to a press release from the Nassau County Police Department in Long Island. Officers responded to a 911 call at around 4:30 p.m. at the MRI center, which provides diagnostic radiology services. "Upon arrival, officers were informed that a male, 61, entered an unauthorized Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) room while the scan was in progress," the release stated.

Health insurance premiums for Americans buying coverage through Affordable Care Act marketplaces will spike by a median of 15 percent in 2026, which is the largest increase in more than five years. For millions of families, this means premium payment increases of over 75 percent as enhanced tax credits expire.
What we're about to witness is the impact of government interference in sectors where it has no constitutional authority to operate.
This crisis was baked into the ACA from day one. When Barack Obama promised Americans they could keep their doctors and that his plan would make healthcare affordable, he was selling a fantasy
This week, the legacy media’s obsession with dragging President Donald Trump into the orbit of Jeffrey Epstein stooped to a shameful new low. The Wall Street Journal embarrassed itself with a hyped-up Trump-Epstein “bombshell” that amounted to nothing more than a birthday card that Trump supposedly sent to Epstein in 2003. Curiously, the evidence in this bombshell is under wraps, but Trump denies writing and threatened to sue over the bogus report.
Attorneys have now filed that lawsuit.
This latest smear attempt is just another chapter in the media’s ongoing effort to tie Trump to Epstein, despite the lack of evidence and Trump’s documented decision to ban Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.
A federal court on Tuesday stopped the Bureau of Land Management from capturing thousands of wild horses, saying the agency failed to explain whether the roundup would maintain a “thriving natural ecological balance” on public land in southwest Wyoming. The federal 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver returned the case to the U.S. District Court in Wyoming, where Judge Kelly Rankin had sided with the BLM. “Since BLM admitted that it did not consider ecological balance, [its] plan failed to consider an important aspect of the [Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act],” Circuit Judge Timothy Tymkovich wrote for a three-judge appeals panel.
Former President Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack,” “as sharp as ever,” and the “best” version of himself “ever” while in office — until he wasn’t.
After months of claiming Biden was perfectly competent to not only remain in office but run for reelection, Democrats ousted Biden(snip). But just because Biden may have stepped out of the spotlight doesn’t mean the American people have forgotten that there was a mentally incapacitated president ‘running’ the show.That’s why Republicans have called in several Biden White House aides to get to the bottom of what really went down. Except, none of them are willing to talk.
Surveillance video showed an illegal alien from Honduras kidnapping an elderly woman in Harris County, Texas, before locking her in a closet and repeatedly sexually assaulting her.
Jose Armando Carcamo-Perdomo, 22, an illegal from Honduras, was arrested this week after he grabbed a woman and locked her in a closet in a trailer home on Elderberry Lane off Highway 90 in Houston.
The unidentified victim was a female masseuse who traveled from New York to Houston for work. She was driven across the country to Texas and when she arrived in Houston, her Chinese passport was taken away from her.

California is a beautiful place.
But it has had horrible leadership in the Democratic Party for years, from folks like LA Mayor Karen Bass to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Instead of being concerned about things he should be focused on in the Golden State, he's already spending a lot of his time gearing up for a run for president in 2028, doing things like attacking his likely competition in Vice President JD Vance. Having such leadership has made it hard for the people who have had to live there and deal with things like the Pacific Palisades fires or the crime in Los Angeles.
The joke is getting old, but it is still worth repeating: George Orwell's 1984 was not intended to be an instruction manual.
