/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump reportedly threatened to “bomb” Moscow as part of an effort to prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine, according to CNN.

Trump’s comments were reportedly made during a 2024 “private gathering of donors,” audio footage “provided” to the outlet showed.

In addition to threatening Putin that he would bomb Moscow if he went “into Ukraine,” Trump reportedly also issued a “similar warning” to Chinese dictator Xi Jinping regarding Taiwan.

“With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the s**t out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice,’” Trump said during the event.

CNN reported that Trump’s comments came as he was making “his case for a second term.” (Read more from “CNN: Trump Threatened to ‘Bomb’ Moscow to Prevent Attack on Ukraine” HERE)

He Went to Prison for Sharing Anti-Hillary Clinton Memes – Now He Has Been Vindicated

/1 Comment/in , /by

A man who was convicted for sharing memes during the 2016 election is about to be set free after being sentenced to seven months in prison.

Douglass Mackey was found guilty of conspiracy for disseminating memes suggesting that Democrats could vote for then-candidate Hillary Clinton through text messages, social media, and other invalid methods. Prosecutors argued that Mackey conspired with others to post the fraudulent messages on X between September and November 2016.

One of the memes featured an “African Americans for Hillary” sign and suggested that voters text “Hillary” to 59925 to “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home.” Another meme was in Spanish, asking Hispanic voters to do the same. About 4,900 people texted the provided number before November 5, 2016.

Now, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed Mackey’s conviction. “On appeal, Mackey argues, inter alia, that the evidence was insufficient to prove that he knowingly agreed to join the charged conspiracy. We agree,” the court’s ruling read.

Whoa: Elon Musk Says This Trump Pal Is in the Epstein Files

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk is taking another HUGE shot across the bow.

Of course, the Tesla mogul has been all over his former (?!) friend Donald Trump regarding the president’s purported appearance in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files. Elon went after the POTUS last month by sending a since-deleted post on X (Twitter) accusing Trump of showing up in the unsettling files — implying he was part of the teen sex-trafficking ring! He said THAT was “the real reason they have not been made public.” . . .

The Trump-led FBI claimed that no, they actually have zero Epstein client info. None at all. Nope. No client list, not a single shred of evidence against anyone. Please change the subject and look the other way, thanks!

On Tuesday, Elon returned to X to name-and-shame… Steve Bannon.

Replying to a post from another infamous former Trump adviser, Roger Stone, who pointed out how Bannon had coached Epstein on how to appear “sympathetic” on TV. Musk responded simply:

“Bannon is in the Epstein files.”

Supreme Court Hands Trump Another Major Win

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to move forward with plans to reduce the federal workforce.

The majority lifted a lower court’s injunction that blocked implementation of Trump’s executive order directing agencies to prepare “large-scale reductions” in the workforce.

“Because the Government is likely to succeed on its argument that the Executive Order and Memorandum are lawful—and because the other factors bearing on whether to grant a stay are satisfied—we grant the application,” the Supreme Court’s order states.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued the sole dissent, calling the majority’s decision “hubristic and senseless.”

“I see no basis to conclude that the District Court erred—let alone clearly so—in finding that the President is attempting to fundamentally restructure the Federal Government,” she wrote. (Read more from “Supreme Court Hands Trump Another Major Win” HERE)

Reporter Asks Pam Bondi About Missing Minute In Epstein Jail Footage

/0 Comments/in , /by

A reporter asked Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday about the missing minute in the released footage of disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on the night that he died.

The digital clock in the footage, released on Monday by the Department of Justice (DOJ), skipped from 11:58:58 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., which has raised questions about what happened to the missing footage. Bondi said during a cabinet meeting that the missing footage is a result of the Metropolitan Correctional Center resetting the cameras every night, and that the DOJ will release more information to show that a minute is missing from the prison’s footage at the same time each night.

“[T]he minute missing from the video, we released the video showing, definitively, the video was not conclusive but the evidence prior to it was, [with it] showing he committed suicide,” Bondi said. “And on that, there was a minute that was off the counter and what we learned from Bureau of Prisons is that every night, they redo that video, it’s old. It’s from like 1999. So every night, the video is reset and every night should have the same minute missing, so we’re looking for that video to release that as well showing that a minute is missing every night.”

President Donald Trump criticized the media for continuing to give Epstein press during a time of crisis in Central Texas, where a flash flood in the Guadalupe River killed over 100 people.

“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” Trump asked. “This guy’s been talked about for years. We have Texas, we have this, we all of the things … And are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable … I mean, I can’t believe you’re asking a question about Epstein at a time like this where we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration.” (Read more from “Reporter Asks Pam Bondi About Missing Minute In Epstein Jail Footage” HERE)

FBI Launches Criminal Investigations of John Brennan, James Comey: DOJ Sources

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are under criminal investigation for potential wrongdoing related to the Trump–Russia probe, including allegedly making false statements to Congress, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital.

The sources said that the referral was received and told Fox News Digital that a criminal investigation into Brennan was opened and is underway. DOJ sources declined to provide further details. It is unclear, at this point, if the investigation spans beyond his alleged false statements to Congress.

As for Comey, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital that an investigation into the former director is underway, but could not share details of what specifically is being probed.

The full scope of the criminal investigations into Brennan and Comey is unclear, but two sources described the FBI’s view of the duo’s interactions as a “conspiracy,” which could open up a wide range of potential prosecutorial options.

Leavitt Looks Baffled After Reporter Asks Why Texas Flood Alerts Were Sent ‘While People Were Likely Sleeping’

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had to explain to Hearst Television White House correspondent Kalyn Norwood on Monday why Texas flood alerts were sent “while people were likely sleeping.”

Flash floods have devastated areas across six counties in Texas since Friday, leading to the deaths of 90 people and several children attending an all-girls Christian camp. The press secretary said that the proper agencies sent out flash flood warnings in a “timely” and appropriate manner, and that the timing of the flood was out of the administration’s control.

“Knowing that [the alerts] did go out, but the warnings [were] coming out in the early hours, so while many people were likely sleeping,” Norwood began. “Can you share just details [about] what you know why those alerts were sent out while people were likely sleeping and then what the administration is doing that these alerts come out sooner.”

“Well, the alerts were imminently sent out before the flood when people were sleeping because the flood hit in the very early hours of the morning,” Leavitt said. “So, people were sleeping in the middle of the night when this flood came. That was an act of God, that was not the administration’s fault that the flood hit when it did.”

The press secretary read through the timeline of the several flash flood warnings issued days and hours before the floods hit the affected areas. (Read more from “Leavitt Looks Baffled After Reporter Asks Why Texas Flood Alerts Were Sent ‘While People Were Likely Sleeping’” HERE)

USDA Farm Security Plan Targets China’s Bioterrorism, Land Grabs

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Department of Agriculture formally announced its National Farm Security Action Plan on Tuesday, rallying top Trump administration officials, Republican governors, and lawmakers around a resolute effort to protect American farmland, food supply chains, and agricultural research from foreign threats, especially Communist China.

“American agriculture, in American hands, is a positive good,” said Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. “Every family, every home, every community, depends upon what our farmers do, and they support and sustain us, not merely by keeping us materially fed, but by keeping us spiritually strong. That’s exactly why it is under threat—from criminals, political adversaries, and hostile regimes.”

In addition to unveiling the USDA National Farm Security Action Plan, Rollins revealed she is now officially a member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who has pushed for her inclusion, described CFIUS as “a group of high-ranking Cabinet members in the White House that determine who buys what” and insisted the agriculture secretary needs to be at the table “to protect our farmland.” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) echoed that support.

Counselor to the President Peter Navarro warned that the Chinese Communist Party has used American supply chains and food systems as weapons against the United States. “We’re the United States, but they treat us like a colony,” Navarro asserted, pointing to the Chinese acquisition of Smithfield Foods and Syngenta. “Seeds really can be the revolution that keeps the world fed—and China now owns a key part of it.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi shared that two Chinese nationals were recently charged in Michigan for attempting to smuggle potential agroterrorism weapons into the country. Soon after, a Chinese citizen was arrested for sending packages of concealed biological materials into the United States. “We will prosecute you. We will hold you accountable,” Bondi vowed, adding that the FBI has opened over 100 biosmuggling investigations in recent years.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Delta Air Lines flight made an emergency landing on a remote island off the coast of Portugal after suffering engine issues mid-flight.

The Airbus A330, operating as Delta Flight 127, was headed from Madrid to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday when it made an emergency landing at Lajes Airport on Terceira Island. The island is in the Azores, which is an autonomous region of Portugal consisting of nine volcanic islands.

“As safety comes before all else at Delta, the flight crew followed procedures to divert to Lajes, Azores (TER) after indication of a mechanical issue with an engine,” Delta said in a statement to FOX Business. “The flight landed safely, and we sincerely apologize to our customers for their experience and delay in their travels.”

There were 282 passengers and 13 crew members on board, all of whom deplaned at the airport in Terceira. Passengers and crew were given accommodations overnight in area hotels and were provided meals.

Passengers were placed on another plane the following day, which arrived in New York late Monday evening. (Read more from “Flight Makes Emergency Landing on Remote Island After Engine Issues” HERE)
