Obama’s bruised ego was behind the corrupt
plot to bring down Trump

The Donald Trump-Russia collusion scandal that first broke in December 2016 and roared on until April 2019 has no parallel in our history — it’s not even close. As president-elect and later as sitting president, Trump was accused by the country’s intelligence and law-enforcement apparatus of conspiring with a hostile power to subvert the 2016 election and sneak a crooked path to the White House. Along the way, a damning Intelligence Community Assessment was issued, a major FBI investigation, code-named Crossfire Hurricane, targeted the president, and a special counsel, Robert Mueller, was granted a team of prosecutors and a budget of millions to bring the guilty to justice.

I guess it would bruise an ego some for the world to find out your wife has a bigger package than you do.

How can a President accumulate the wealth Obama accumulated in the White House and still be able to find the time to run the country. It cannot be done honestly in my humble opinion.

The higher ups involved in the Russia collusion scandal were senior most members of the Obama administration. They would never have moved against Trump in this manner without getting the green light first. The only person in authority to give the green light to these people is Obama himself. That's how you know this scandal goes all the way to the top. Btw, if I recall correctly, the Republicans are involved in this too. Didn't John McCain personally carry the Trump dossier to certain committees in Congress? Doubt he acted alone in this as well. This shows how far Washington will go to protect itself.

"Find Mueller’s evil twin, appoint him special counsel, and let him loose for years to hound the paper trail of Obama and the rest of the Trump-Russia crowd." Sorry, no. I agree about the assessment of BO's massive ego, a malignancy that grew because BO never earned or deserved the Presidency. He was selected to run because he had no past or one that was carefully covered up. To this day we do not know the truth of where he was born and whether he was a legitimate citizen for the presidency. We don't know his records in school. One thing I asked when he was running was, "What has he accomplished?". He was a community organizer and a state senator. From the HuffPost circa 2008 "A $100,000 state grant for a botanic garden in Englewood that then-state Sen. Barack Obama awarded in 2001 to a group headed by a onetime campaign volunteer is now under investigation by the Illinois attorney general amid new questions, prompted by Chicago Sun-Times reports, about whether the money might have been misspent." All that was built was a gazebo. Beyond that his record was amazingly empty of accomplishments. People that are built up without earning it tend to develop big egos and are VERY protective of them because they are VERY fragile. As to an Mueller type investigation, they go nowhere. Even if the investigation determines something, it then only refers to criminal prosecution. The DOJ is investigating. They will refer it to a court. ONLY when these people are brought into a court do we have a hope of getting them to tell the truth. I doubt BO can be held liable because he had presidential immunity. However, he should be compelled to testify and he cannot plead the 5th because he can't incriminate himself if he is immune from prosecution. If he lies in court, he CAN be prosecuted for that since he is no longer president. All the rest of the cabal will have to face up to the mounting evidence that they manufactured the case against Trump and actively worked to undermine his presidency, i.e. overthrow the government. That is treason. BO suborned it and he should wear that label for the rest of his life. He should be excluded from all official functions and any privileges that are not legally required should be discontinued. He should be a pariah. If he is allowed to participate in dem activities he and the people supporting him should be put under a spotlight and exposed.

Emily Damari was shot in the hand by Hamas and kidnapped from her home in Kfar Aza in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The monsters also shot and killed her 11-year-old dog in front of her. The bullet that killed the dog also struck her leg. When she was released earlier this year, she returned with a bandaged hand and missing fingers, and only she and God know what kind of mental and emotional damage. Damari, who has dual British and Israeli citizenship, has been pretty outspoken about her ordeal, and she has tirelessly advocated for those who remain in captivity.

The Gross Domestic Product number is in. The numbers are great, and as we seem to keep finding with President Donald Trump's economy, they're better than what was predicted. The second-quarter first read GDP is at three percent. The White House said it "shatters expectations." President Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt both trumpeted the news and called on the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to lower rates. Trump called on Powell to let people buy and refinance their homes. Leavitt said:

Once upon a time in America, taxpayers were scandalized to learn the Pentagon paid $400 for a toilet seat. It was front-page news. Congressional hearings were convened. Outrage flowed like prune juice at the Biden White House breakfast buffet. Fast forward to 2025, and no one bats an eye over spending more than that for just a toilet. In fact, the federal government under the Biden administration set aside a whopping $7.5 billion in cold, hard, debased American currency—and to date, we’ve got a grand total of 384 E.V. chargers to show for it. And here’s the twist: hardly anyone is shocked.

After the recent Israeli war against the Iranian regime and the American attack on the Fordo nuclear site, the mullahs in Tehran are feeling the heat. This is the most fragile the regime has been over the past 46 years, and talk of regime change is spreading. For the past year and a half, some in the regime have been preparing for a plan B, in case they need to flee urgently. While that does not mean that the regime is about to fall, it is still a valid indicator of the nervousness of the leadership. After Hamas, one of Iran’s proxies, attacked Israel by surprise on October 7, 2023,

The Senate has confirmed President Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Emil Bove to a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge for the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals. The 50-49 Senate vote was largely along party lines with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voting against Bove’s confirmation to the federal bench. Bove’s nomination was strongly contested by Democrats who brought forth three Justice Department whistleblowers who alleged that he recommended that the Trump administration ignore court order attempting to disrupt the president’s immigration agenda.

Sensible New Yorkers didn’t need yet another reason to vote against Zohran Mamdani for mayor, but Monday’s horrific Midtown slaughter provided a clear illustration of why the radical Democrat must not win the keys to City Hall. Mamdani is in Uganda celebrating his wedding, but his initial statement on X about the bloodbath on Park Avenue rings hollow given his past smears of the NYPD and repeated calls to ­“defund the police.” “I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts,” Mamdani posted on X late Monday.

When it comes to their views and policies concerning so-called climate change, President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama stand far apart.Trump is a climate realist who understands that conventional power sources like coal and natural gas are pivotal to America’s grid stability and will play a big role in the forthcoming AI arms race. Obama, on the other hand, is a staunch climate alarmist who derides conventional power sources and favors “green” energy. During his two terms, Obama enacted several policies that subsidized uncompetitive, unneeded, and unwanted green energy while placing onerous regulations on fossil fuels.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced Tuesday that the EPA would propose rescinding the 2009 so-called "Endangerment" finding by the Obama administration. This finding underpins every "climate change" and most automobile regulations issued since 2009 and, if successful, would effectively eradicate "climate change" regulation as a federal policy consideration. Using a visit to a truck dealership in Indianapolis with Governor Mike Braun as a backdrop, EPA Administrator Zeldin announced EPA's anticipated attempt to unravel the fragile underpinning for such things as EPA's electric vehicle mandate and the war on efficient air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, and small gasoline tools like lawnmowers and leaf blowers.

The agreement sets tariffs at 15 percent for European imports, including automobiles. That’s lower than the 30 percent tariff Trump had threatened to impose on the EU but higher than some European officials would have liked to see —

The political left will never recover from Trump Derangement Syndrome. President Donald Trump could put the economy on a perpetual growth path, stop World War III, bring permanent peace to the Middle East, resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict and in his spare time cure cancer and put a man on Mars, and the Democrats and progressives would still blindly hate him. Would the Republicans and conservatives who have battered and cursed him since 2015 continue to bitterly disapprove of him, as well? Trump has had an extraordinary run so far.

While most of the country has erupted in outrage after an angry mob savagely assaulted two white people in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, one prominent local politician has the exact opposite reaction to the story.

Then, a white woman got slugged by one of the cowards. Her head slammed down onto the concrete, and she lost consciousness. Blood was seen coming out of her mouth.

The scandal-scarred independents running for New York City mayor stand little chance against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — even if the rivals team up against the socialist candidate, a shocking new poll found. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and Democratic nominee, is projected to handily win the November general election with 50% of likely voters in the latest survey, released Tuesday by Zenith Research/Public Progress Solutions. Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has decided to continue his comeback tour after his embarrassing June primary loss to 33-year-old Mamdani, came in a distant second at 22%, while the GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa pulled 13%.

In the photos first shared online, Tamura, 27, was captured in broad daylight walking into 345 Park Ave. with a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 rifle in his hand. Burnett said police knew the gunman had “sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white” during a broadcast shortly after the shooting Monday evening.

The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted. European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.
