Michelle Obama Just Reappeared… and This Was Not the Comeback She Hoped For

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Michelle Obama has been off the radar for a while. She ditched Barry at the Carter funeral, skipped Trump’s inauguration, and fueled even more divorce rumors in the process. People wondered where she disappeared to—turns out, she was busy making a podcast with her brother—the brother most of us didn’t even know existed, because Michelle keeps her personal life locked up tighter than Fort Knox.

But her big return to the spotlight didn’t go as planned. Instead of a smash hit, her podcast flopped—hard. After hours on YouTube, it barely scraped together 20K views.

Looks like Michelle lost her mojo.

Jesse Watters covered the podcast flop on his highly rated show—something Michelle Obama knows nothing about. He also pointed out her constant negativity and how she never misses a chance to take a shot at her husband. Let’s be honest—Michelle gives off some serious angry, dominant, naggy wife vibes.

Even the left-leaning Daily Beast had to admit—Michelle Obama and her brother just aren’t pulling in the views. They also quoted Fox News’ Rachel Campos-Duffy, who made a great point—this kind of podcast might have worked fifteen years ago, but not today.

VP Biden Received ‘Sensitive’ Materials at Private Email Account

/4 Comments/in , /by

A new report confirms that there was a “security risk” that developed when materials during Barack Obama’s term in the White House were sent to Joe Biden’s private and personal email account.

Biden, of course, was found later to have concealed classified government documents in piles of paperwork in his offices and the garage at his home, but never was charged for the violations of federal law.

A new report at Just the News explains the information included “briefing memos, sensitive foreign conversations, ” “subjects and times for White House Situation Room meetings” and other “fallout from leaked National Security Agency intercepts.”

The details come from a recent set of emails released by the National Archives.

According to the report, “Security experts and lawmakers, who reviewed the records, said they were disturbed by the nonchalant transmission of sensitive government information to Biden’s insecure private email accounts and believed it put national security at risk.” (Read more from “VP Biden Received ‘Sensitive’ Materials at Private Email Account” HERE)

‘Innuendo And Rumor Stories’: VA Secretary Collins Blasts Media Hacktivist’s Anti-DOGE Hatchet Job

/2 Comments/in , /by

First, it was ABC’s Martha Raddatz. Then, it was CBS’s Margaret Brennan. And now, Military.com’s Patricia Kime is the latest member of the propaganda press to get a well-deserved scolding from the Trump administration for masquerading her left-wing activism as reporting.

The moment came during a newly released sit-down exchange between Kime and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins. The former congressman was sworn into the position last month following a bipartisan vote in the U.S. Senate.

“I need your help on something. I need your help because all I seem to be doing lately is fighting back against innuendo and rumor stories,” Collins told Kime. “In fact, Patricia, part of it is with you.”

The VA secretary took specific aim at a Feb. 5 story authored by Kime titled, “Elon Musk Aide Is Now Working at VA and Accessing Its Computer Systems.” Citing unconfirmed reports, the Military.com reporter wrote in her piece that, “Rumors began circulating Tuesday that DOGE representatives visited the VA on Tuesday with an intent to mine data on disability compensation and benefits.”

Passing what appeared to be a copy of the article to Kime, Collins criticized the so-called “journalist” for sensationalizing the unconfirmed rumors about the VA’s operations and asked her to commit to not publish similarly shoddy work in the future.

Schumer Caves In Shutdown Showdown

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declared that he will not vote against moving forward with a Republican-backed stopgap bill to avert a partial government shutdown at the end of the week.

The announcement, in which Schumer criticized President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort led by Elon Musk, marked an abrupt turnaround. Just one day ago, the top Senate Democrat insisted the Republican majority did not have enough votes for the House-passed continuing resolution to clear a key procedural hurdle.

“While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse. … I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option,” Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor.

He added later: “I believe it is my job to make the best choice for the country, to minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.” (Read more from “Schumer Caves In Shutdown Showdown” HERE)

The Decline Of American Christianity Might Have Stalled. Will It Reverse?

/0 Comments/in , /by

In 1897, the famous author Mark Twain, in response to an article reporting he was on his deathbed, wrote to the paper: “The report of my death was an exaggeration.” The young reporter who erroneously declared Twain’s demise confused Twain with an ill cousin, jumping to a conclusion before thoroughly checking out the facts.

Twain’s words came to mind as I read about the recent Pew Research Center Religious Landscape survey showing the decline of American Christianity has stabilized. Pew finds that the percentage of American adults identifying as Christian remained at 62 to 63 percent (with an 0.8 percentage point of error) over the past couple of years.

In many ways, those who have been reporting on the demise of American Christianity have been doing the same thing as the young reporter who hastened the news of Twain’s demise. In their eagerness to conclude American Christianity is dying, they have missed what may be happening.

Instead, the number of Americans who identify as Christians has stabilized after years of decline and hopefully has turned a corner and will return to being a vital part of our national tapestry. Still, it is also important to note that many who identify as Christians are not adhering to the core beliefs of the faith.

For them, their faith is still based on nostalgia rather than Christ’s revelation in the Bible. In fact, most of the decline of American Christianity is within mainline Protestant denominations that have become increasingly leftist in their beliefs. Those denominations that have abandoned biblical truth continue to shrivel and die, while the decline among evangelicals, who generally lean less to the left, is slower.

Producer Inflation Stopped Cold In Trump’s First Month, Core Prices Fell

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One,” Donald Trump said on the campaign trail last summer.

Critics claimed, without evidence, that Trump’s tariff plans would raise inflation. Many economists argued that while the rate of price increases might slow, prices would not decline and Americans would simply have to adjust to the new higher price level.

In February, however, the core producer price index for final demand declined by 0.1 percent. In other words, prices of goods and services— excluding food and energy—sold by U.S. businesses came down.

The broader index for producer prices was flat for the month, indicating that there was no inflation at all in the month.

Both numbers were better than expected. Economists had forecast a 0.3 percent increase in the broad producer price index (PPI) and an even larger 0.5 percent increase in core producer prices.Instead of the expected price surge, we got price stability—and even declines in core producer prices.

Corporate Media Try To Convince Americans That Inflation Progress Under Trump Is Temporary

/73 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s first full month in office was marked by one of the lowest consumer price index increases and the lowest level of core consumer prices Americans have experienced over the last four record-breaking years.

The White House celebrated the news as a sign that “inflation is declining and the economy is moving in the right direction under President Trump.”

“As he successfully did in his first term, President Trump is driving down costs through massive deregulation and energy dominance. The entire Trump Administration will continue to focus on fixing the economic and inflation nightmare created by the Biden-Harris Administration to unlock the Golden Age of America,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

Despite the significant inflation data shift, corporate media are attempting to sow doubt that Trump’s “America First” policies will yield the economic results his constituents desire.

Outlets acknowledged that February’s price hikes measured much “lower than expected,” but refused to give up on their attempts to sabotage the second Trump administration’s pledge to rescue and repair the economy. Some corporate media, such as CNN, couched their headlines with caveats about how “Trump’s tariff plans and trade war” were proof that economic “progress may be short lived.” (Read more from “Corporate Media Try To Convince Americans That Inflation Progress Under Trump Is Temporary” HERE)

Rap Star Spills the Beans, Says Black Lives Matter Is ‘Literally a Scam’

/31 Comments/in , /by

A rapper is singing a politically incorrect tune as he says Black Lives Matter is “literally a scam.”

The singer is Lil Yachty who made the comment during an appearance on a cooking show with Quenlin Blackwell.

During the pair’s kitchen discussion, Blackwell asked Lil Yachty: “You spent $100,000 on a trip to Disney once. How much have you spent on charitable causes this year?”

“It’s just blurry, I’ve been doing so much,” the rapper said.

“BLM?” asked Blackwell.

“BLM is a scam,” the rapper said matter of factly.

“BLM was, it was literally a scam. They had bought mansions. You probably wouldn’t know anything about it because you don’t care about black people.”

Did Michelle Obama Confirm Those Divorce Rumors With Her Latest Move?

/21 Comments/in , /by

Are the Obamas on the brink of divorce? Speculation reached a fever pitch in recent months after Michelle Obama skipped major public events, including Jimmy Carter’s funeral and Donald Trump’s inauguration, while Barack has rarely been out in public with her. With months of separate appearances and whispers of personal indiscretions swirling, the signs are getting harder to ignore.

But did we just get the biggest hint yet?

According to reports, Michelle is launching a podcast where she will not only interview celebrities but also talk about such things as marriage, divorce, and other personal issues and give advice.

The new podcast, titled “IMO” (In My Opinion), debuts Wednesday with her brother Craig Robinson cohosting. Interesting timing, wouldn’t you say? Robinson has his own experience with divorce. But what’s really telling is what they won’t discuss: politics. That’s right — the wife of a former president is deliberately avoiding political talk.

Remember when Michelle proclaimed in her memoir “Becoming” that she “never wanted to be involved in politics”? Probably not, because I’m sure you didn’t read it, but that’s what they say. It seems she’s finally getting her wish. (Read more from “Did Michelle Obama Confirm Those Divorce Rumors With Her Latest Move?” HERE)

Sister of Slain Army Soldier Decides to Run for Rep. Al Green’s Seat After Seeing Him Interrupt Trump’s Congressional Address

/11 Comments/in , /by

Democrat Rep. Al Green of Texas is going to face a stout challenge to maintaining his congressional seat from the sister of slain Army soldier Vanessa Guillen.

Mayra Guillen says she made the decision to run after watching Green interrupt President Donald Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress last week.

Green yelled at Trump at the start of his address and continued shouting until Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana ordered that he be removed from the House chamber.

Guillen wrote on social media that the moment spurred her to action.

“After watching @RepAlGreen disrespect not only @POTUS last night, but our district, state and country, I believe it’s time for me to get into the fight like I did for my sister Vanessa Guillen!” she wrote. “It’s time to end the propaganda displayed by these politicians, and time to help support @POTUS and his amazing Admiration to Make America Great Again! Al Green I’m coming for your seat.” (Read more from “Sister of Slain Army Soldier Decides to Run for Rep. Al Green’s Seat After Seeing Him Interrupt Trump’s Congressional Address” HERE)
