Bill Clinton Under Contempt of Congress After Ignoring Bipartisan Subpoena

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Bill Clinton did not appear today for his scheduled deposition before the House Oversight Committee. Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear tomorrow, though it remains to be seen whether she will comply.

At 10:07 a.m. today, House Oversight Committee counsel initiated the deposition of former President William J. Clinton, noting for the record that he was not present. Exhibit materials included prior communications from Clinton’s attorney, David Kendall, acknowledging receipt of the original subpoena in August and a follow-up letter from Chairman Comer on December 15, 2025, warning that failure to appear could trigger contempt of Congress proceedings. As of 10:10 a.m., Clinton’s seat remained empty.

Chairman James Comer added: “It’s a shame President Clinton failed to appear in accordance with our duly authorized congressional subpoena. The Oversight Committee will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against the former president for defying the law.”

The bipartisan subpoenas—issued to both Clintons in August 2025—followed a July 2025 vote by the House Oversight Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement to expand the Epstein investigation and direct the issuance of subpoenas. Chairman Comer later clarified that the full Oversight Committee approved the move, stating: “This wasn’t something that I just issued as chairman of the committee. This was voted on by the entire committee in a unanimous vote.”

Bill Clinton had previously offered to submit a written statement, a concession the committee accepted for other former officials such as James Comey and Robert Mueller. However, Comer insisted in-person testimony from the Clintons was necessary. “We just have questions.” (Read more from “Bill Clinton Under Contempt of Congress After Ignoring Bipartisan Subpoena” HERE)

‘It’s Not Just Venezuela’: Rand Paul Cites Greenland as War Powers Debate Heats Up

/12 Comments/in , , /by

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday that the War Powers Resolution he and several Republican senators supported is not limited to Venezuela, but is also meant to prevent potential military action involving Greenland and other countries without congressional approval.

Appearing on ABC’s This Week, Paul was asked about recent comments from the White House indicating that the use of U.S. military force to secure Greenland has not been ruled out. Paul said he hopes military force would not be used, but argued that public threats undermine diplomacy.

Paul said that even if the United States were interested in purchasing Greenland, threatening military action would only alienate the people living there and make any agreement less likely. He added that talk of sending U.S. Marines would have the opposite effect of encouraging cooperation.

He also said there is little support in either Greenland or Washington for a military invasion, regardless of political party. However, Paul expressed concern that repeated statements leaving military force “on the table” amount to saber-rattling.

Paul said that is why the War Powers Act debate is important. He explained that the resolution is not only about Venezuela, but also about Greenland, Colombia, Cuba, and other potential conflicts. According to Paul, the issue centers on whether Congress and the American people have a say before the United States engages in military action.

The War Powers Resolution backed by Paul and five other Republican senators seeks to limit the president’s authority to conduct military operations without explicit authorization from Congress.

Utah Police Report Claims Officer Shape-Shifted Into a Frog

/0 Comments/in , , /by

There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for why, on paper, a local Utah police officer allegedly turned into a frog.

The claim comes from the Heber City Police Department in Heber City, Utah, where officers are reportedly looking to save time on their paperwork, as writing police reports typically takes personnel between one and two hours per day.

In order to save on man-hours, Heber City PD began testing new software that can take bodycam footage and generate a police report based on the audio and video.

The new artificial intelligence program did not take long to malfunction though, as just a few weeks into its trial in December, a police report stated that one of the local officers had shape-shifted into a frog during an investigation. It turns out the software picked up on audio that was playing on a TV screen present during the incident.

“The bodycam software and the AI report-writing software picked up on the movie that was playing in the background, which happened to be ‘The Princess and the Frog,'” Sergeant Rick Keel told FOX 13 News, referring to the 2009 animated Disney film.

Renee Nicole Good Was Minneapolis ‘ICE Watch’ ‘Warrior’ Who Trained to Resist Feds Before Shooting

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said. . .

Just as many others did in the lefty enclave, Good sent her son to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 that from its inception has been “unabashedly dedicated to social justice education,” according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

It was through her involvement in the school community that Good became involved in “ICE Watch” — a loose coalition of activists dedicated to disrupting ICE raids in the sanctuary city.

“From my understanding, she was involved in social justice … we are a tight-knit community and a lot of parents are [activists],” former Southside gym teacher Rashad Rich, who resigned from the school last month, told The Post.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Budget-friendly grocery chain Aldi is expanding its footprint in the U.S.

The company announced on Monday that it plans to open more than 180 stores by the end of 2026, pushing its total footprint to nearly 2,800 this year. Its goal is to operate about 3,200 stores by the end of 2028.

As part of the company’s growth plans over the next five years, it will enter the Colorado market for the first time while opening additional stores in the Southeast and West markets. It also has plans to open three new distribution centers in Florida, Colorado and Arizona.

Aldi, which is entering its 50th year in the U.S., said the expansion meets the “sustained demand” for its simple and affordable operating model.

“In 2026 we’re focused on making it even easier for customers to shop our aisles first,” Aldi U.S. CEO Atty McGrath said in a statement. “That means bringing ALDI to even more neighborhoods, upgrading our website and planning additional distribution centers to keep our shelves stocked.” (Read more from “Grocery Chain Launches Massive Expansion With 180 New US Stores” HERE)

Mark Kelly Sues Pete Hegseth to Stop ‘Unconstitutional’ Pay Cut, Censure After He Released Video About ‘Illegal Orders’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly slapped a lawsuit against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for sending him a censure letter and moving to dock his military retirement pay as punishment for urging service members to “refuse illegal orders.”

Kelly (D-Ariz.), a retired Navy Captain, accused Hegseth and the Pentagon of pursuing an “unconstitutional and legally baseless proceeding” against him as retaliation over remarks with which the secretary disagreed.

“Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran,” Kelly said in a statement.

“His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted.”

Last week, Hegseth announced that the Department of the Navy initiated retirement grade determination proceedings against Kelly to demote him and slash his retirement pay.

Ex-CIA ‘Spy Who Lied’ Wants Trump to Expose ‘Horrific’ Biden Havana Syndrome ‘Cover-Up’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A former top CIA officer has revealed he suffered from the mysterious neurological illness known as Havana Syndrome — and wants the Trump administration to expose what he calls the Biden administration’s cover-up of debilitating attacks on US personnel.

Marc Polymeropoulos, a 26-year CIA veteran and ex–senior operations chief who signed the infamous “spies who lie” letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop during the 2020 election campaign, told The Post that the 46th president’s administration perpetrated one of the worst intelligence scandals of modern times.

“The cover-up was horrific,” Polymeropoulos said.

Over the weekend, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made headlines by highlighting the account of a Venezuelan guard protecting dictator Nicolas Maduro. As US forces swooped on Caracas early on Jan. 3 to arrest Maduro on federal drug and weapons charges, Maduro’s guards were subjected to an unknown force that caused them to be incapacitated, bleed through their nose and “vomit blood.”

The Biden administration publicly denied the existence of Havana Syndrome — believed by non-government scientists to have been caused by powerful directed-energy weapons wielded by foreign adversaries such as Russia and Cuba — despite their own intelligence personnel suffering from “unbearable pain,” Polymeropoulos said.

After Trump took office last year, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard tasked her “director’s initiatives group” to investigate “anomalous health incidents” (AHI) — government jargon for Havana Syndrome.

Trump’s Ominous Two-Word Warning If Supreme Court Rules Against Emergency Tariffs

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump declared Monday that the US would be “screwed” if the Supreme Court rules against his reciprocal tariff policies — arguing the feds would have to “pay back” billions in revenue collected over the past year.

“[I]f the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE’RE SCREWED!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“The actual numbers that we would have to pay back if, for any reason, the Supreme Court were to rule against the United States of America on Tariffs, would be many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars,” he wrote.

“[A]nd that doesn’t include the amount of ‘payback’ that Countries and Companies would require for the Investments they are making on building Plants, Factories, and Equipment, for the purpose of being able to avoid the payment of Tariffs.”

Trump argued that “[w]hen these Investments are added, we are talking about Trillions of Dollars! It would be a complete mess, and almost impossible for our Country to pay.” (Read more from “Trump’s Ominous Two-Word Warning If Supreme Court Rules Against Emergency Tariffs” HERE)

Trump Denounces Antisemites in the Republican Party: ‘I Think We Don’t Like Them’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump denounced antisemites looking to enter into the Republican Party or the Make America Great Again movement during a recent interview.

Speaking with the New York Times, the president said the Republican Party does not need antisemites in its ranks, noting his Jewish grandchildren.

“I think we don’t need them,” he told the outlet. “I think we don’t like them.”

“My daughter happens to be Jewish, beautiful, three grandchildren are Jewish,” he added. “I’m very proud of them. I’m very proud of the whole, that whole family. I am the least antisemitic person probably there is anywhere in the world.”

When asked about the prevalence of far-right figure Nick Fuentes, an avowed Hitler apologist, Trump said that he knows little about him, adding that he only came to Mar-a-Lago once as a guest of Kanye West without his knowledge.

Venezuelan Security Guard Shares Wild Account of Mystery Sonic Weapon US Used in Maduro Raid

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The US used a powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, “bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood during the daring raid to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, according to a witness account posted Saturday on X by the White House press secretary.

In a jaw-dropping interview, the guard described how American forces wiped out hundreds of fighters without losing a single soldier, using technology unlike anything he has ever seen — or heard.

“We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,” the guard said. “The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.”

Moments later, a handful of helicopters appeared — “barely eight,” by his count — deploying what he estimated were just 20 US troops into the area.

But those few men, he said, came armed with something far more powerful than guns. (Read more from “Venezuelan Security Guard Shares Wild Account of Mystery Sonic Weapon US Used in Maduro Raid” HERE)
