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

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

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)

VIDEO: White House Confronted with Lies About Epstein List; “Nauseous” Alex Jones Suggests that Trump has been Turned

By WND. In the wake of a new FBI memo claiming there was no client list of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, despite U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi saying she had it on her “desk right now to review,” the White House is now saying law enforcement did its job, and “the Trump administration is committed to truth and to transparency.”

During a press briefing Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked point blank: “The DOJ and the FBI have now concluded there was no Jeffrey Epstein client list. What do you tell MAGA supporters who say they want anyone involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged crimes to be held accountable?”

Leavitt replied: “The Trump administration is committed to truth and to transparency. That’s why the attorney general and the FBI director pledged at the president’s direction to do an exhaustive review of all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and his death. . . . That’s what they did and they provided the results of that. That’s transparency.”

Peter Doocy of Fox News immediately followed up on her answer, saying: “According to the report, this systematic review revealed no incriminating client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk? . . . I’ve got the quote . . .

“[Fox News anchor] John Roberts said, ‘DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?’ And she (Bondi) said, ‘It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.”

Trump Administration Acknowledges Lack of Evidence From Epstein Documents

By New York Times. For months, Attorney General Pam Bondi promised the release of documents on the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that could reveal damaging details, drumming up anticipation over the files, long a source of speculation and conspiracy theories.

But on Monday, a memo by the Justice Department undercut her own statements, pouring cold water on baseless claims. It amounted to a catalog of conclusions that affirmed those reached years earlier by investigators, including that Mr. Epstein killed himself while in a Manhattan cell awaiting trial.

“This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list,’” the memo said. “There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”

“No further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted,” the memo continued, adding that the work of the Justice Department and the F.B.I. on the records had been thorough. (Read more from “Trump Administration Acknowledges Lack of Evidence From Epstein Documents” HERE)

‘I’m Gonna Go Throw Up’: Alex Jones Breaks Down in Tears While Condemning Trump Over Epstein ‘Cover-Up’

Biden White House Leak Reveals Advisers Urged Early Debate

A newly leaked White House memo from April 2024 reveals that former President Joe Biden’s advisers urged him to debate now-President Donald Trump early in the election cycle to “reach the widest audience possible.”

The disastrous June 27 debate, in which Biden was often incoherent, was the death knell of his campaign. Under pressure from Democratic Party leaders, he dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential nominee.

“By holding the first debate in the spring, YOU will be able to reach the widest audience possible before we are deep in the summer months with the conventions, Olympics, and family vacations taking precedence,” reads the memo from Biden’s “Senior Advisors,” which was published by Politico.

“The earlier YOU are able to debate the better, so that the American people can see you standing next to Trump and showing the strength of YOUR leadership, compared to Trump’s weakness and chaos.”

In fact, Biden’s advisers recommended either June 26 or June 27 for Biden’s first debate, a time frame that was granted to them. (Read more from “Biden White House Leak Reveals Advisers Urged Early Debate” HERE)

Trump Administration Delivers Ominous Warning About Electricity Demand

The Trump administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) on Monday released a report that found currently scheduled retirements of energy-generating facilities coupled with delays in bringing new power sources online could lead to a rise in blackouts by the end of this decade.

DOE’s report found that with about 104 gigawatts of energy-generating capacity scheduled to be retired by 2030, power outages could see a significant rise if that capacity isn’t replaced in a timely manner. It is estimated that annual outage hours could rise from single digits today to over 800 hours per year.

The agency noted that while 104 GW of power generation is scheduled to be retired, it is scheduled to be replaced by 209 GW of new capacity by 2030 — though only 22 GW of that comes from firm baseload generation sources. It added that even with the assumption of no retirements, the risk of outages in some areas rises more than 3-fold.

“This report affirms what we already know: The United States cannot afford to continue down the unstable and dangerous path of energy subtraction previous leaders pursued, forcing the closure of baseload power sources like coal and natural gas,” Secretary Scott Wright said in a statement.

The report said electricity demand is rising in part due to the construction of energy-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) data centers along with advanced manufacturing facilities. (Read more from “Trump Administration Delivers Ominous Warning About Electricity Demand” HERE)

NORAD Fighter Jet Intercepts General Aviation Plane After Multiple Airspace Violates Trump’s No-Fly Zone

A general aviation aircraft was intercepted Saturday afternoon by a NORAD-controlled fighter jet after entering restricted airspace near Bedminster Township, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump was spending the holiday weekend, officials said. The airspace over Bedminster is always locked down whenever Trump is in the area.

According to a statement from NORAD, the pilot entered a temporary flight restriction (TFR) zone shortly before 2:40 p.m. ET. A fighter jet performed a standard “headbutt” maneuver—a tactic used to catch a pilot’s attention—and safely guided the aircraft out of the restricted airspace. This incident was the fourth TFR breach in the area that day, with a fifth violation occurring afterward, bringing the total number of airspace incursions to five.

Trump Dismisses Musk’s Political Ambitions as ‘Ridiculous’ in Sharp Rebuke

President Donald Trump slammed former first buddy Elon Musk for starting a third political party, saying such parties have “never worked” while also calling the move “ridiculous.”

Trump spoke with reporters before boarding Air Force 1 in Bedminster, New Jersey, when he was asked about Musk’s move to start a third party.

“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,” Trump said from the tarmac. “We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to confusion.

“It really seems to have been developed for two parties,” the president continued. “Third parties have never worked. So, he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous.”

Musk announced the launching of a new political party called the “America Party” on his social media platform X on Saturday. (Read more from “Trump Dismisses Musk’s Political Ambitions as ‘Ridiculous’ in Sharp Rebuke” HERE)

Trump Signs Major Disaster Declaration After Heavy Texas Flooding

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, as the state reels from deadly flooding that has killed dozens and left more missing.

“These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said his administration “continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders,” adding that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on the ground to coordinate relief efforts.

According to Trump, Coast Guard officials and Texas first responders have rescued over 850 people as of Sunday.

At least 67 people have died in the floods across Texas, including 59 in Kerr County, according to local officials. Particularly hard-hit was Camp Mystic, a Christian summer retreat for girls near the Guadalupe River, where 11 children and one counselor remain missing, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said during a press briefing.

Trump Signs Big, Beautiful Bill Into Law: ‘Most Popular Bill’; Initiates Reciprocal Tariffs, “Up to 70%”

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump signed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill into law on the Fourth of July at the White House, noting that it was the “most popular bill ever signed” in the history of the United States.

While speaking at the Military Family Picnic on Friday, Trump criticized Democrats for not voting for the Big, Beautiful Bill, noting that they didn’t vote for the bill either because of their “hatred” for the U.S. or for Trump.

Trump explained that the bill included the “largest tax cut,” “largest spending cut,” and the “largest border security investment” in the history of the U.S.

“The Democrats, they should have voted for it, they didn’t vote for tax cuts, they didn’t vote for taking care of people….they didn’t vote, not one vote and we knew that, because their hatred of either the country or me or both is so great, they didn’t vote at all,” Trump said.

Trump continued: “It’s the most popular bill ever signed in the history of our country, whether your military or anybody else, this is the most single most popular bill ever signed, and it includes the largest tax cut in American history, the largest spending cut, $1.7 trillion, and yet you won’t even notice it.”

House Passes Big Beautiful Bill Act, Sending It to Trump After Bruising Struggle

By New York Post. . . The GOP-led House of Representatives passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in a 218-214 vote Thursday following 29 hours of arm-twisting and deliberation that included the longest floor speech and longest procedural vote in the body’s 236-year history.

In the end, just two Republicans, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, voted against the measure after Trump held 11th-hour White House meetings Wednesday with more than a dozen holdouts. . .

Every House Democrat opposed the bill, in addition to the two Republican defectors. Massie, whom Trump is hoping to oust in the 2026 midterms, had rejected the legislation nearly every step of the way due to his deep concerns with its impact on the deficit.

Fitzpatrick turned against the bill after concluding that the Senate’s adjustments to Medicaid “fell short” of his standards.

Fiscal hawks and moderates alike had initially bristled at the Senate’s modifications to the 870-page bill, which cleared the upper chamber Tuesday in a 51-50 vote that required Vice President JD Vance to break a 50-50 tie.

Trump begins rolling out ‘reciprocal’ tariffs of up to 70% on nations without deals: ‘We’re giving them a bargain’

By Steven Nelson. President Trump said he’ll begin rolling out “reciprocal” tariffs Friday on countries that have yet to reach a tentative deal with his team — with the new US trade taxes hitting as high as “60 or 70%.

“We’re going to start sending letters out to various countries starting [Friday]. We’ll probably have 10 or 12 go out,” Trump told reporters after midnight as he returned from a speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

“I think by the 9th [of July] they’ll be fully covered, and they will range in value from maybe 60 or 70% tariffs to 10 and 20% tariffs.”

The upper rates indicate Trump may boost some nations’ figures even higher than described in his April 2 “Liberation Day” rollout, which established a new 10% baseline tariff — roughly triple prior rates — and high duties on countries with large trade imbalances with the US.

The highest previously announced “reciprocal” rates — pegged to a nation’s trade deficit with the US — were 49% for clothing- and shoes-manufacturing hub Cambodia, 48% for next-door Laos and 47% for the world’s top vanilla exporter, Madagascar. (Read more from this article HERE).

White House, Pentagon Won’t Say Why Admiral Who Allowed Drag Shows On Navy Ship Was Nominated For Promotion

President Trump recently recommended Rear Admiral Michael “Buzz” Donnelly, who is known for allowing drag shows on his ship when he was a captain, for promotion to command of the Navy’s 7th fleet.

“Adm[iral] Donnelly wasn’t in drag himself, but any military leader will tell you he is responsible for everything that happens under his command,” tweeted William Thibeau, director of the American Military Project at the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life.

During his campaign, Trump promised to remove woke elements from the U.S. military and return the armed forces to their former glory. He even punctuated this campaign message with a video that spliced clips of Full Metal Jacket (the military under Trump) with clips of Admiral Rachel Levine and Navy drag queen “Harpy Daniels” (the military under Biden).

“Harpy Daniels,” whose real name is Joshua Kelly, is an active-duty sailor and drag performer who claims to be nonbinary. He was made the Navy’s digital ambassador in 2022. In 2017 and 2018, Kelly performed drag onboard the USS Ronald Reagan in Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Department events. Donnelly captained the ship at the time.

Now Donnelly is up for promotion, nominated by President Trump. (Read more from “White House, Pentagon Won’t Say Why Admiral Who Allowed Drag Shows On Navy Ship Was Nominated For Promotion” HERE)
