Maurene Comey, Daughter of Former FBI Head James Comey, Fired from DOJ

/0 Comments/in , /by

Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, was fired Wednesday from her job as a prosecutor in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, a Justice Department official confirmed to Fox News.

Comey was informed of her termination on Wednesday by the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the official said.

She worked most recently on the prosecution of Sean “Diddy” Combs and previously prosecuted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

The reason for her firing as senior trial counsel at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York was not immediately clear.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to a call from Fox News Digital.

Comey’s father was fired during President Donald Trump’s first term in office after he initiated the investigation into potential ties between Russia and President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The Justice Department recently appeared to acknowledge an investigation into James Comey, although it is unclear what sparked that probe.

New Tool Makes Defense Budget More Accessible

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Heritage Foundation unveiled a “first of its kind” online tool that analyzes and makes accessible the U.S. defense budget.

The tool is available to the public and makes the process of examining budget data from the Defense Department easier, according to a statement from Heritage. Before the creation of the Defense Budget Builder, data was published only on the website of the Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller), and there was no ability to view it all at one time.

Heritage’s new Defense Budget Builder changes that, said Robert Greenway, director of the Allison Center for National Security. Greenway previously served in the military as a senior intelligence officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency and as a U.S. Army Special Forces combat veteran.

Trump: ‘Jeffrey Epstein Hoax’ Is Left’s Latest Media Scam to Distract from My Success; Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump blasted what he called the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” in a fiery Truth Social message Wednesday. He accused the “Radical Left Democrats” of launching a new smear campaign against him, denounced former supporters who have bought into the Epstein narrative, and recalled a long list of past “hoaxes” pushed by the Left and the corporate media.

In the post, President Trump likened the Epstein narrative to a string of previous Democrat-driven “scams and hoaxes.”

“The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again!” Trump wrote. “Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, the Laptop from Hell… and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself… these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at.”

Trump said Democrats, “no good at governing” and “no good at picking winning candidates,” have resorted to “strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems” to push the “Epstein Hoax” and distract from his “incredible and unprecedented success.”

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” Trump continued. “My PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson… I don’t want their support anymore!” (Read more from “Trump: ‘Jeffrey Epstein Hoax’ Is Left’s Latest Media Scam to Distract from My Success” HERE)

Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Jeffrey Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!’

By NBC News. President Donald Trump on Wednesday disowned his supporters who have called for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, chiding them as “weaklings” who “bought into this bulls—.”

The lengthy post on Truth Social represents the clearest split from the faction of his MAGA base that has questioned the Justice Department’s handling of the case.

My “PAST supporters have bought into this “bulls—” hook, line, and sinker,” he said in the post, adding, “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”

This month, the Justice Department published a memo determining that there was no evidence of an “incriminating ‘client list,’” prompting renewed consternation in MAGA world. (Read more from “Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Jeffrey Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!'” HERE)

OpenAI Discount Program Will No Longer Discriminate Against Christian Organizations

An Illinois medical school that rakes in millions of taxpayer dollars operates a gender clinic that peddles suspect treatments to minors.

The Southern Illinois University School of Medicine has been issued nearly $3 million in federal funds this year and received another $6.4 million in 2024. The school owns and operates a the Gender Equity and Transgender Clinic, which offers “gender affirming hormone therapy” and provides referrals for the surgical removal of breasts and other genital surgeries.

“The clinic provides trauma-informed, gender-affirming health care services to transgender and gender-diverse individuals,” the clinic’s website says. “The team values each individual person and their unique needs and characteristics.”

The website also claims that puberty blockers and cross-sex homes can be reversed, but should be administered to “give a child time to decide what treatments are right for them in addressing their gender presentation moving forward.”

“Puberty blockers are not permanent. When they are stopped, puberty continues normally,” the website says. (Read more from “OpenAI Discount Program Will No Longer Discriminate Against Christian Organizations” HERE)

Jill Biden’s ‘Work Husband’ Pleads The Fifth In Biden White House Cover-Up Probe

/0 Comments/in , /by

The plot thickens in the Biden senility/autopen scandal.

A top aide subpoenaed to testify on Wednesday in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s investigations into the alleged cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline took the Fifth, just as Biden’s personal White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, did the week before.

Anthony Bernal, former assistant to Biden and senior adviser to first lady Jill Biden — aka Jill Biden’s “work husband” — reportedly dodged question after question from committee staff during the closed-door session, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

In a statement following the fruitless sworn and transcribed interview, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., referenced this week’s New York Times story in which the former president said he “made every decision” on a record number of pardons and commutations — most coming at the end of his term. Emails obtained by The Times, however, show one of Biden’s closest advisers approved the use of the autopen on midnight pardons.

“This week new reporting confirms President Biden’s aides took unauthorized executive actions during his presidency amid his cognitive decline,” Comer said. “It’s no surprise that Anthony Bernal is pleading the Fifth Amendment to shield himself from criminal liability.” (Read more from “Jill Biden’s ‘Work Husband’ Pleads The Fifth In Biden White House Cover-Up Probe” HERE)

Everybody Clap — Michelle Obama Managed to Spend an Hour with Her Husband

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former first lady Michelle Obama is no stranger to bold and beautiful feats. But her latest accomplishment may be her boldest, her bravest, and dare I say, her most beautiful: publicly tolerating her husband.

Michelle introduced a “very, very, very, special” guest on her podcast this Wednesday. “It’s my husband, y’all,” Michelle exclaimed.

“Wait, you guys like each other?” Craig Robinson, Michelle’s co-host and brother, joked as Barack joined them at the table.

“Oh yeah, really, huh,” Michelle snarked, muttering about the “rumor mill.” She further complained that, when she and Barack aren’t in the same room, “folks think we’re divorced.”

The mill has certainly been awhirl with divorce rumors, thanks to the ceaseless stream of complaining from Michelle herself. (Read more from “Everybody Clap — Michelle Obama Managed to Spend an Hour with Her Husband” HERE)

Paranormal Investigator Touring with Allegedly Haunted ‘Annabelle’ Doll Passes Away in Gettysburg

/0 Comments/in , /by

The lead investigator for a paranormal activity group on Sunday passed away in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania while on tour with an allegedly haunted Annabelle doll.

Dan Rivera, the lead investigator for the New England Society for Psychic Research and a U.S. Army veteran, passed away, according to the group.

Rivera led the viral “Devils on the Run Tour,” in which he and other members of the New England Society for Psychic Research brought toured across the country with Annabelle, an allegedly haunted doll.

The Hanover Evening Sun wrote:

Adams County dispatch scanner archives showed that firefighters and medical personnel had been called to a hotel in Gettysburg after 8 p.m. on Sunday evening for a report of CPR in progress on a male patient of Rivera’s age.

Adams County Coroner Francis Dutrow, whose office was conducting a death investigation, confirmed to the Evening Sun that, as of Tuesday afternoon, Rivera’s cause of death remained pending the results of an autopsy. Final results of that autopsy, according to the office, could take several months.

Six Months Later, California Democrats Have Done Basically Nothing To Rebuild From LA Fires

/0 Comments/in , /by

California and Los Angeles officials are touting the rapid recovery from January’s fires, but many residents say the praise is just smoke and mirrors.

Six months ago, the Los Angeles fires raged for a full week before firefighters could confidently declare them contained. Today, officials are hailing cleanup progress — even as rubble still clutters sidewalks and residents wait impatiently for permits to rebuild their homes and resume their lives.

Marking the six-month anniversary of the fire’s start, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the effort “the fastest recovery in state history,” according to the city’s website.

That same day, Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced what he called the “substantial completion of the public debris removal program.”

“Nearly 10,000 homes cleared — months ahead of schedule — because recovery can’t wait,” Newsom said. “Now we turn the page to rebuilding, and we’re doing it with a clear plan, strong partnerships, and the urgency this moment demands.” (Read more from “Six Months Later, California Democrats Have Done Basically Nothing To Rebuild From LA Fires” HERE)

‘Done With His Bullsh*t’: Key 2024 Trump Backers Totally Alienated By Epstein Debacle

/9 Comments/in , /by

Conservative-friendly independent podcasters — whom many Democrats blame for helping President Donald Trump win in 2024 — appear to be turning on him, largely over his Department of Justice’s (DOJ) handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The DOJ and FBI concluded that the convicted pedophile and longtime Democratic financier did not kill himself and had not kept an official client list, according to a leaked memo obtained by Axios on July 6.

Trump’s MAGA base immediately revolted, with several of the movement’s most prominent voices openly condemning the DOJ’s findings.

But another bloc — less reflexively loyal yet arguably more critical to his November win — also expressed disapproval.

Comedian Andrew Schulz, who faced a swell of backlash for hosting Trump on his “FLAGRANT” podcast in October, criticized the president over the Epstein revelations, among other issues. (Read more from “‘Done With His Bullsh*t’: Key 2024 Trump Backers Totally Alienated By Epstein Debacle” HERE)

GOP Derails Second Democrat Effort To Unearth Epstein Files

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans on Tuesday afternoon moved to block a second effort from the chamber’s Democrats to force a vote on releasing materials related to the late convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Lawmakers voted along party lines against permitting Democrats to offer an amendment to force Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish any “records and evidence” regarding the federal government’s investigation into and incarceration of Epstein. House Democratic leadership has sought to put GOP lawmakers in politically uncharted territory by making them choose between compelling the Trump administration to release all records related to Epstein or deferring to the president’s judgement about which contents to make public on his timeline.

Republican lawmakers, even those who have advocated for the release of the Epstein files, voted against allowing a vote on Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment to release the Epstein files within 30 days of the measure’s enactment. The amendment would have been attached to Senate-passed crypto legislation under consideration in the House, which could have jeopardized the bill’s chances of becoming law.

“It’s just politics, it’s not about protecting little children,” Republican Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett told Axios, referring to the amendment. “And that ticks me off.”

The failed effort follows an unsuccessful vote on Khanna’s amendment in the House Rules Committee Monday evening. Just one House Republican, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, joined with Democrats to adopt the amendment. Norman, however, voted against allowing a floor vote on the same amendment.
