The response from Chairman Tom Cotton and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to the action of DNI Tulsi Gabbard was predictable. The SSCI has now framed the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 [LINK] to modify the “responsibilities and authorities of the Director of National Intelligence.” [Section 402] (imageWe knew this was coming. The Intelligence Community does not like rogue actors amid their ranks, especially if those people have cross-silo access. The silo system is designed to protect the Deep State.

Epstein grand jury transcripts denied
by federal judge 3 replies
A federal judge shot down the Trump administration’s bid to release troves of grand jury transcripts tied to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Wednesday, according to court papers.
The swift rejection in the Florida court came after the Department of Justice requested the information be disclosed in a Friday motion as pressure mounts on the president and his top officials to shed more light on Epstein and those in his orbit.
Judge Robin Rosenberg claimed in her ruling that the court’s “hands are tied,” with district courts typically not allowed to unseal grand jury testimony in most cases, the New York Times first reported.
It was a cold Sunday morning in Chicago in February 2003—I was driving over to the paper, and had a week’s worth or columns to plan—when I stopped in front of the E2 nightclub. Outside there was a police blockade because 21 young people had been killed, but the cops knew me and waved me through.
On the sidewalk awkwardly alone, his hands jammed into the pockets of a navy-blue dress coat, was a soon-to-be well known Chicago Democrat:
Barack Obama.The E2 was a black bougie hangout where 21 young people were crushed to death in a dark stairway that had been locked in violation of building codes.
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, responds to the deflection and denial of weaponized government and intelligence agencies by former President Barack Obama.
(snip), “Led by President Obama, there was an effort to create a document that would serve as a foundation for what would be a years-long coup against President Trump.”While it is unlikely any of the evidence currently in the record will lead to accountability upon President Obama himself, there is much easier legal exposure underneath him amid the underlings that carried out the operation.

In the background, Trump is simply waiting for the USMCA timeline to trigger a renegotiation. President Donald Trump is ambivalent to the trade partnership with Canada. This moot-status reality is why there’s no substantive engagement.
‘No deal’ -until USMCA redo- is a win for President Trump. (snip) An article in Politico notes the Canadian premiers are now accepting the August 1st deadline will pass without any agreement,(snip)
everything from Canada that has a non-USMCA component is going to be tariffed. Think about all the stuff from China, Asia (writ large) and Europe that Canada assembles for finished goods.
Boy howdy, this judicial activism is reaching new heights. Federal judges in New Jersey invoked a rarely used judiciary power to remove interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, installing her top assistant as the state’s top prosecutor. However, hours later the Trump administration responded by removing Habba’s deputy. (image)This is where Majority Leader John Thune can come into play and push for a faster track confirmation of Habba through the senate.
POLITICO – Federal judges declined to keep President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor, exercising an arcane statute to rebuff the Trump administration’s wishes.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) vowed that President Trump’s threats to primary him will “backfire tremendously” and ultimately lead to Republicans losing their House majority in the 2026 midterms.
“Well, they’ve spent $1.8 million against me so far in my congressional district. I think it has had very little effect, but they are trying to beat up on me to keep everyone else in line here and I think it is not working. I think what’s going to happen, this will be a referendum on whether the executive branch controls the legislative branch,” Massie said during a Tuesday interview with NBC News.
John Durham spent four years and ten million dollars investigating the phony Russia collusion hoax—and what did we get? Some rando FBI lawyer was caught fudging an email for a surveillance warrant.
That’s it.(snip)And according to Tulsi, it’s a heck of a lot worse than we even imagined, and Obama’s grubby little fingerprints are everywhere.In addition, there’s new breaking evidence on Ben Rhodes, Obama’s right-hand message boy and the creative writing major who helped script the entire hoax.
Following the ridiculous attempted smear campaign launched by Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, President Trump has removed their pool reporter from the traveling press group who will fly to Scotland for Trump’s upcoming visit.White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated:
“As the appeals court confirmed, the Wall Street Journal or any other news outlet are not guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and in his private workspaces,”(snip). “Due to the Wall Street Journal’s fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the thirteen outlets on board. Every news organization in the entire world wishes to cover President Trump,
Tulsi Gabbard announces the release of 230,000 files related to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.Ironically, a Republican administration is detailing the events of how a Democrat administration targeted one of the most beloved Democrat legacy names.

Ukrainian lawmakers have approved a tightening of restrictions on two crucial anti-corruption agencies, heightening concerns over the country's commitment to rooting out deep-seated graft.
A total of 263 deputies in the 450-seat Verkhovna Rada voted in favor of a law that limits the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO).
The law, brought forward by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's the Servant of the People Party, makes the Prosecutor-General the de facto head of SAPO, effectively stripping the agency's chief of their authority.
It also allows the Prosecutor-General to unilaterally close cases involving top officials and lets the Prosecutor General reassign
The leading official who presided over the U.S. Naval Academy’s use of racist affirmative action admissions policies is being replaced, the Pentagon announced on Friday.
According to a Defense Department press release, Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Michael J. Borgschulte has been nominated to replace Navy Vice Adm. Yvette Davids as the superintendent of the renowned military school. Davids — who was nominated to her now-former position by President Joe Biden — has since been reassigned to be the deputy chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans, Strategy, and Warfighting Development.
The Trump-Russia collusion story was always a targeted false smear intended to generate a special counsel and hamstring the surprising winner from the 2016 election, Donald Trump. The Russia-Collusion narrative was always an Intelligence Community op against Donald TRump.
Yesterday, Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard released a tranche of background information, [114 pages of information], showing how the Obama administration intentionally and with great purpose fabricated the entire story.

Barack Obama has broken his silence on calls from Donald Trump for him to be prosecuted by unequivocally rejecting his successor’s accusations that he tried to engineer a “coup” following Trump’s 2016 election victory by “manufacturing” evidence of Russian interference.
Obama’s office took the unusual step of issuing an emphatic refutation after Trump told reporters that his predecessor had “[tried] to lead a coup” against him and was guilty of “treason” over intelligence assessments suggesting that Russia had intervened to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in the campaign.

Stephen Colbert wants you to believe he's some kind of martyred truth-teller, canceled by the evil corporate overlords for daring to speak truth to power about Donald Trump.
He’s not.
It's a compelling narrative, if you're the type who still thinks late-night comedy hosts are brave crusaders rather than overpaid establishment mouthpieces. But, rather than accept reality, he’s leaning into the preferred narrative that he’s being silenced and that it’s President Trump’s fault.
Monday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Hunter Biden revealing his father, President Joe Biden, was on Ambien was “really striking.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “Hunter made headlines of his own in a more than three-hour-long interview on a podcast, touching on a number of issues, including the 2024 campaign. He vehemently defended his father while revealing a new detail about the debate.”
Hunter Biden said, “I know exactly what happened at that debate. He flew around the world basically and the mileage, he could have flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as *. They give him Ambien
California’s new $20-per-hour minimum wage for fast food workers has resulted in a significant decline in employment in that sector, leading to 18,000 fewer jobs than would have been the case otherwise.
That’s according to a new paper released by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) this month, which said:
We analyze the effect of California’s $20 fast food minimum wage, which was enacted in September 2023 and went into effect in April 2024, on employment in the fast food sector. In unadjusted data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, we find that employment in California’s fast food sector declined by 2.7 percent
A Department of Justice employee claims she was fired after feds discovered her husband had developed an anti-ICE phone app. Carolyn Feinstein, who is married to ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron, said she was unfairly removed from her post in 'retribution' against her partner's work. The ICEBlock app sets out warning signals to users when ICE agents are within a five-mile radius of their location, allowing targets to flee. After Aaron was exposed online for creating the app, Feinstein said she was terminated from her post as a forensic accountant after almost a decade working for the DoJ. 'This was retribution.

On July 13, 2024, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, before witnesses and unimpeded by law enforcement, climbed onto the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building at the Butler Farm Show. He was 441 feet away from the stage on which candidate Donald Trump was addressing 15,000 enthusiastic supporters. . . .These parallel reports set forth a detailed narrative of official mismanagement, disorder, incompetence, and inexplicable failures that converged to afford Crooks the clear and readily preventable opportunity to murder Trump.

'We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount,' Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell Obama administration claims 16 replies
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard suggested last week that intelligence was "manufactured and politicized" by the most powerful people in the Obama administration in 2016 and Americans will finally learn the truth, but legacy media outlets didn’t take the announcement particularly seriously. (Snip) MSNBC, meanwhile, spent more time downplaying Gabbard's report and similarly suggested Republicans are using it to distract from unflattering news. "The latest distraction comes from the national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, who put out a baseless report Friday accusing the Obama administration of manufacturing intelligence that laid the groundwork for the FBI’s Russia probe into Trump," MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin said.
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Prince of Darkness and one of heavy metal’s most iconic stars, has died. He was 76.
He died “surrounded by love,” his family said in a statement to The Sun on Tuesday. “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”
News of Osbourne’s death comes more than five years after he announced his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in January 2020.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi promptly fired Alina Habba’s replacement after a group of district court judges voted to oust Habba as interim US Attorney of New Jersey.
A group of federal judges on Tuesday declined to extend Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney of New Jersey after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a pressure campaign to oust her.
Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney expires on Friday at 11:59 pm.
Hakeem Jeffries called on federal district court judges appointed by Obama and Biden to remove Alina Habba over her decision to indict Rep. LaMonica McIver.
Here's a common tactic of the legacy media: Find an activist with credentials in a field they haven't worked with in years, someone with a laundry list of made-up grievances, someone fundamentally bitter and angry, and have them speculate on some personal aspect of a person they've never met or spoken with.
Case in point: CNN recently trotted out a Dr. Chris Pernell, a left-wing activist who hasn't practiced medicine since her residency, to remote-diagnose President Trump's chronic venous insufficiency. It should come as no surprise that she immediately started crying the president's doom.
