It turns out that comedy is not entirely dead after all.

During a recent performance at The Laugh Factory in Chicago, comedian Josh Ocean Thomas was on stage when he briefly ditched his comedy routine after eliciting a political confession from a person in the audience. The audience member, calling himself “Nick,” made a major mistake when he revealed to Thomas that he worked for the Biden regime.

Thomas is a Tunisian stand-up comedian who moved to Chicago from San Diego to pursue his career. Laugh Factory notes that he was a child magician before making the switch to comedy.

A dumbfounded Thomas could not believe what he was hearing and mockingly asked “Nick” what he does for Biden. After not getting an initial response, Thomas tells “Nick” he would have been prouder if he said he was a hooker.

When “Nick” says he travels to the South to persuade people to back Biden, Thomas ratchets his mockery even further while the audience erupts in hysterical laughter. He colorfully says “Nick” is short on brain cells and queries how quickly he’s ready to lose his job.

Thomas posted video footage of the entire exchange Sunday on his Instagram and YouTube pages:

Transcript:

Thomas: Nick, what do you do for a living now?

“Nick”: I work for the Biden Administration.

Thomas (flabbergasted): You work for the Biden administration? Is it your job to wake him up? Or what’s your job? (Mimicking man trying to wake up Biden) “Hey, hey, there’s a war! Hey!”

Okay, what do you do for the Biden administration? What a sh*t show of a job you have!

“Nick”: (No response)

Thomas: I can’t believe you admitted that in front of all of these people! You have the freedom to lie. You could have said you were a hooker, and I would have been prouder of ya!

What do you do?

“Nick”: I travel to southern states.

(Thomas makes raspberry noises as the audience laughs, then pretends to walk off the stage)

Thomas: You go to the South and try to sell them on Biden?! You’re f**king r**arded! What the f**k?!

What are you talking about? That’s your f**king job?!….Wow. Are you ready to be unemployed or what’s your vibe?

Judge Aileen Cannon is preparing to unseal motions filed by Trump related to the Mar-a-Lago raid and Obama judge Beryl Howell’s unlawful order that pieced Trump’s attorney-client privilege.

Cannon held a telephonic status conference Wednesday to expose Howell’s order obliterating Trump’s attorney-client privilege.

Beryl Howell

Howell previously ordered Trump’s lawyer Evan Corcoran to testify before a grand jury in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.

Judge Howell flipped Trump’s own lawyer Eric Corcoran into a witness when she obliterated Trump’s attorney-client privilege in a ruling.

Cannon is about to let all the documents fly!

Cannon on Tuesday afternoon indefinitely postponed Jack Smith’s classified documents trial against Trump after the Special Counsel admitted to tampering with evidence.

Judge Cannon set a second set of pre-trial deadlines to manage pending discovery and disclosure matters.

The Judge vacated the May 20, 2024 trial date. It may be several months until Judge Cannon sets a new trial date.

“The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and CIPA issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury. The Court therefore vacates the current May 20, 2024, trial date (and associated calendar call), to be reset by separate order following resolution of the matters before the Court, consistent with Defendants’ right to due process and the public’s interest in the fair and efficient administration of justice,” Cannon wrote in an order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Judge Cannon set hearings on key motions, including Walt Nauta’s motion to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution.

Additionally, a June 21 hearing was set on Trump’s motion to dismiss the indictment based on the unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith.

In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or the placement of the documents.

Jack Smith in his Friday night response admitted the FBI moved the classified documents around.

According to a footnote in the motion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, the FBI messed with the boxes containing the ‘classified’ documents they seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

The DOJ previously assured the Court that the placement of classified documents as originally found had been maintained – THEY LIED!

Sting Operation Catches a Hollywood Elite Predator on Camera

A group of Youtubers led by media personality Vitaly Zdorovetskiy have uncovered what appears to be an attempt by a senior man to engage inappropriately with an underage girl.

The incident, captured on camera as part of a sting operation, has since been linked to Hollywood ‘Space Jam’ producer Herschel Weingrod due to a distinctive piece of jewelry worn by the man in question, Evie Magazine reported.

The operation aired on Tuesday was part of a new series titled “Catching Child Predators,” a collaborative effort between Zdorovetskiy, DJ Deorro, and fellow YouTuber Bradley Martyn. Their latest episode has amassed millions of views due to the startling confrontation at its heart.

Weingrod, who initially introduced himself as “Boris,” was caught on camera sitting in a restaurant alongside a young girl he claimed was 23, as per her dating site profile.

During the confrontation, Vitaly and Martyn pressed Weingrod for answers. Despite his initial deflections, the 76-year-old screenwriter later confessed that the girl had informed him of her actual age.

When pressed further by the streamers about his inappropriate behavior, he sought to downplay the situation, asserting that talking and flirting with a minor was “not a big deal” and that there was nothing wrong with their conversation.

Weingrod attempted to flee the scene. However, Zdorovetskiy and Martyn are not willing to let him off so easily, and they give chase, employing the unusual tactic of firing pink and blue gunpowder cannons.

A male student at McDaniel High School in Portland, Oregon who identifies as ‘transgender’ absolutely dominated the girls varsity 400-meter race on Wednesday.

The Oregon School Activities Association allows transgender athletes to participate in high school sports.

“The OSAA endeavors to allow students to participate for the athletic or activity program of their consistently asserted gender identity while providing a fair and safe environment for all students,” the policy stated, according to Fox News.

“As with Rule 8.2 regarding Duration of Eligibility / Graduation, rules such as this one promote harmony and fair competition among member schools by maintaining equality of eligibility and increase the number of students who will have an opportunity to participate in interscholastic activities.”

Aayden Gallagher crushed the biological girls in several races at the Portland Interscholastic League Championship semi-finals on Wednesday.

Stormy Daniels can’t seem to keep her mouth SHUT outside of this case — and continues to discredit herself more and more as the days go on in regards to her reliability. It even got to the point where she was reciting scripted jokes in the trial — unfortunately, she was met with a tough crowd, to say the least. How will this affect the Trump trial, and Stormy’s future?

Maria Zeee goes over all this and more on today’s Beyond the Headlines!

The post DISASTROUS Testimony For Stormy Daniels in TRUMP CASE.. Even CNN ADMITS | Beyond the Headlines appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Stormy Daniels court illustration by Jane Rosenberg

For the past three days porn star Stormy Daniels and liberal Biden-connected prosecutors have run wild with the leftist media in attacks on President Trump in a lawsuit that should have never been allowed in a case with no crime.

This is one of several lawfare suits against President Trump filed by Democrats to bankrupt and destroy the enormously popular pro-American president.

The particularly crooked Judge Juan Merchan has ordered President Trump to remain silent as the media and Democrats spin lie after lie against his record and character.

This is how free societies die. Just as shocking as the Democrat party’s lawlessness is the Republican party’s total avoidance to confront these vicious political acts. We all know this lawlessness cannot continue yet Republicans remain too weak to raise their voices with the rare exception the courageous few who are shunned by their own party elites.

On Thursday the media continued their toxic reports on Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels, a opportunist who owes President Trump around $500,000 for court costs that she refuses to pay – a crime in itself.

The Trump team requested Judge Juan Merchan lift the unconstitutional gag order on President Trump but Merchan refused.

The Trump team also requested the case be thrown out after Stormy Daniels’ seven hours of testimony.

Dana Perino at FOX News reported: Just moments ago, the judge denying his lawyer’s motion to modify the gag order, which would have allowed Trump to respond to Stormy Daniels. Right now, his team is arguing for the judge to declare a mistrial. It comes as Stormy Daniels wrapped up over seven hours on the stand. Trump’s lawyer is hammering away at Stormy’s credibility, poking holes in her story and drilling her about attempts to make money off of her alleged affair with Trump. The defense showing off this $40 ‘Saint of Indictments’ devotional candle. They claimed she was selling on her website, which shows Daniels draped in a Christ-like robe. Stormy not denying she made bank, admitting she has to pay her legal bills to the tune of half a million dollars that she owes to the former President. Then Stormy got supernatural, a bizarre moment when the defense grilled Daniel’s work as Paranormal Investigator, asking about a show where she said She can talk to dead people and lived in a house she believed to be haunted, but it turned out to just be a giant oppossum.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, has been selected by the Republican Party of Florida to be one of the state’s at-large delegates.

Other children of Trump who were selected as delegates were Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Tiffany “Trump” Boulos.

In response to Barron’s selection as an at-large delegate, Trump stated, “To me, it’s very cute because he’s a very young guy, and he’s graduating from high school this year.”

“He’s very smart. I think that’s great and interesting too. He’s pretty young….If they can do that, I’m all for it, and knowing him, he will probably be for it too.” added Trump.

WATCH:

Barron, who recently turned 18, will graduate from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach on May 17th.

In early April, Judge Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing Trump’s “Hush Money” trial, declined to rule on whether Trump could be excused from the trial on May 17th to attend his son Barron’s graduation and stated, “It really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”

Panama could play an integral part in slowing the flow of illegal migrants enroute to the southern border of the United States.

Earlier this week, the Central American country’s newly elected president Jose Mulino, promised to halt the flow of illegal migrants passing through his country. On X, Congressional candidate Mara Macie called out “our own uniparty representatives and government” for failing to express the same interest in the U.S. southern border as Mulina has his border. She credits Michael Yon and others for drawing attention to the problem “weaponized migration” and its global implications.

Whether Mulino follows through on this promise is TBD. However, I’m disappointed that he is far more interested in this problem than our own uniparty representatives and government.
Instead, the heat on this topic was brought by @Michael_Yon, @annvandersteel, @Oscarelblue,… pic.twitter.com/l0e3HYY3Wj

— Mara Macie (@MaraMacie) May 9, 2024

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Macie, who is vying for a Republican seat in Florida’s 5th Congressional District. Interestingly, Mulino promised to shut down the Darien Gap. But what does that mean for a bridge under construction across the region’s most dangerous stretch of jungle?

Macie questioned whether the promise by Mulino to stop illegal immigration would end construction of the bridge between Colombia and Panama. While she admitted there are likely many legitimate reasons to maintain a highway through the Darien Gap, Macie hopes the endless flow of migration can still be stopped through the area.

Macie said Mulino’s stance against illegal migration is “absolutely necessary.” And while she is hopeful, she won’t believe it until she sees it.

More concerning than the bridge is the number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) functioning in the country, said Macie. Some of these have been responsible for providing to maps for safe travel to the United States. Some have also provided financial assistance for the journey. “Stopping illegal immigration is feasible, but [Mulino] will have to get directly involved in the NGOs and shut many of them down from operating [in the region],” she argued.

“I am hopeful that [Mulino] appoints a security minister with the best interest of his country in mind,” she said. With the massive influx of over a half million migrants traveling through the area, she pointed out that parts of Panama have been “destroyed.” For example, incredible amounts of trash now litter the jungle. Many waterways have also been polluted and are now deemed unsafe.

Another potential problem Mulino must consider are the “false economies” developed through recent years of migrant flow. When the number of people passing through Panama dwindles, locals will not be able to sustain the economies that have been created as a result of sheer number of people who have needs as the travel. “Migration has changed their way of life [through trade and business], and it’s going to be hard to go back to the way they’ve lived for hundreds of years prior.”

While Panama engages in an uncertain future, Macie expressed some of the positives for America’s future if migration stops. “Of course, the number of illegals crossing the southern border [of the United States] will decrease,” she said. But one of her primary concerns, human trafficking, will also decrease. For that, she is thankful.

“The wide-open door through Panama has made things more difficult [for the United States at the southern border], so having Mulino shut down illegal immigration can only help,” Macie said. “But we still have other borders, [like] the Canadian border and people flying directly into the United States.”

“Even if it’s not through Panama, people are going to find other ways,” Macie warned. “It’s not just immigrants we have to worry about, but it’s the criminals, terrorists, and other nefarious actors that are intentionally plotting and trying to destroy our country.”

“If Panama comes through and stops illegal immigration through their country,” she said, “it will play a large role in at least pulling back some of the people coming through Mexico.” Nonetheless, she said, “at some point, we’re going to have to stop all of this at our own borders.”

To take on President Joe Biden’s open border policies and more, Macie is running for U.S. Congress.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Jeremy D. Kernodle rejected the Biden State Department’s request to dismiss a censorship lawsuit brought by the Daily Wire, the Federalist, and the State of Texas in December of 2023.

The initial lawsuit claimed that the U.S. State Department is infringing on the First Amendment rights of conservative media outlets. The State Department has been accused of promoting censorship technology that would limit ad revenue for outlets that are more likely to publish “disinformation.”

The complaint called the State Department’s efforts “one of the most audacious, manipulative, secretive, and gravest abuses of power and infringements of First Amendment rights by the federal government in American history.”

The State Department filed two motions in response: first, to dismiss the case, and second, to transfer the venue from Texas to D.C. However, this week, these motions were both denied in large part by Judge Kernodle.

The Global Engagement Center (GEC) is an organization at the center of this case. The GEC was founded in 2011 with the mission of countering foreign propaganda; however, in recent years, the GEC has allegedly begun to use taxpayer funds to counter “disinformation” within the states—even though Congress has specified that none of GEC’s funds should be used from anything but countering foreign propaganda. 

The GEC has reportedly funded censorship organizations such as NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which have blacklisted conservative media outlets with a “Dynamic Exclusion List.” This list has not been made public except for the top “riskiest” news outlets, which includes sites like the Daily Wire, the Federalist, NewsMax, the American Spectator, RealClearPolitics, the New York Post, and The American Conservative. 

In an appearance on the Laura Ingraham Show back in February 2023, Miranda Devine of the New York Post said of the situation, “Disinformation is whatever the government decides it is…. Anything that doesn’t go along or parrot the democratic establishment line is deemed disinformation.” 

The recent ruling contends that the State Department’s funding of GDI led to decreased revenue for a variety of these targeted outlets, with Judge Kernodle writing, “State Department Defendants’ active intervention in the news media market to make disfavored media unprofitable thus had devastating consequences to Media Plaintiffs.”

The judge also emphasized how the government was weaponizing a tool meant to fight foreign agents against Americans: “State Department disinformation tools were developed…as tools of warfare…in the context of national security…. [They were] misdirected to be used at home against domestic political opponents.”

Kernodle ruled that it is necessary to look into the situation and has even requested for the State Department to comply with a “tighter-than-normal turnaround.” 

In their initial lawsuit, the Daily Wire said, 

The Biden administration is illegally funding organizations with the stated goal of financially crippling media outlets whose coverage does not walk in lockstep with the government’s ideological agenda. We sued the Biden administration before over its unconstitutional vaccine mandate, and we won. This time, we’re suing for our rights, all news organizations’ rights, and the constitutional guarantee of a free press that all Americans deserve.

Tuesday’s ruling is a step in the right direction for protecting freedom of speech not just in America, but worldwide, as it has just today been accompanied by good news in the UK: British Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has stated that the UK Government will not fund the GDI any longer.
