“I was purchasing a new mattress for the guest room and decided to replace my old mattress as well. These are GREAT! My sleep is comfortable all night and very restful.”
“We bought this because of the quality of all the previous products our family has purchased from Mr. Lindell. We also support what he is doing for America. This mattress is simply the best I have ever owned and I’m 60 years old. My back discomfort is gone and sleep comfortably all night long. I could not be happier with this purchase.”
“I have purchased many products from Mike, and I have to say that this mattress is amazing. Finally getting a comfortable night’s sleep.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded on Monday to the continued calls for violence against federal law enforcement in the wake of an active shooter situation at an ICE facility in McAllen, Texas, on Monday morning.
Leavitt was asked about this situation and Democrat Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (WA), saying recently that she is “inspired” by this terrorism from her constituents and calls for Democrat officials to be more confrontational with federal agents.
What nobody asked was why these Democratic lawmakers and many of their supporters, who are calling for more violence against ICE, are still walking free.
Biden’s DOJ and FBI went after thousands of Trump supporters for protesting the stolen election, pro-lifers for praying outside of abortion clinics, and even President Trump for made-up crimes.
Why are Republicans so gutless, and why is the Trump Administration being so soft on criminal Democrats?
Leavitt called on Democrats “to tone down their rhetoric against ICE and Border Patrol agents” and condemned the violence, but her words will surely fall on the radical leftists’ deaf ears.
WATCH:
Mike Carter: An armed shooter, today, was shot in McAllen, Texas, after opening fire on border patrol agents. It comes just days after Democratic Congresswoman for Pramila Jayapal recently said she gets “inspired when activists obstruct ICE.” Does the White House expect Democrats to tone down their rhetoric in light of what we saw today in McAllen, Texas?
Leavitt: We certainly call on Democrats to tone down their rhetoric against ICE and Border Patrol agents, who, again, are everyday men and women. I would encourage AOC and other Democrats to actually meet with the United States Border Patrol. These are honorable Americans, who are just simply trying to do their job to enforce the law. They go home to their families every night, just like we all do, and they deserve respect and dignity for trying to enforce our nation’s immigration laws and to remove public safety threats from our communities. The White House is aware of the shooting that took place today in Texas, and we are working with the appropriate federal agencies to get to the bottom of what happened.
Leavitt was later asked about Democrat constituents calling for their representatives to act on their words and “shed blood” for the cause.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Los Angeles’s failed Democrat Mayor Karen Bass confronted federal agents and tried to obstruct lawful immigration enforcement on Monday morning.
Mary Margaret Olohan: Axios reported today, I believe, that Democrat lawmakers were saying their constituents are calling on them to be more violent when they go to ICE facilities, including, I believe, they want them to shed blood, and that they said that Democrat lawmakers should be willing to get shot themselves. Can you respond to that? And do you have concerns that any of these lawmakers might act on the wishes of their constituents?
It’s hard to believe that anyone with morals in this country or decency would say such a thing. Obviously, the White House condemns that rhetoric, and we condemn violence of any kind. This administration is simply trying to enforce our laws, and we must be a nation of law and order. You cannot simply waltz across our border and live here illegally and expect to stay. We are going to enforce our nation’s laws, and the men and women who are doing that are doing so in a respectful way, they are doing so within the confines of the law, and they are just trying to do their jobs. And we condemn any violence or any calls for violence of any kind against any American.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday, a man ambushed Border Patrol agents, armed with a rifle and tactical gear, outside of a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas.
This follows an incident where a Texas police officer was shot in the neck late Friday night in an attack by an armed group outside the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, located just south of Dallas-Fort Worth.
This is only going to continue if this administration does not start holding people accountable.
Los Angeles’s failed Democrat Mayor Karen Bass confronted federal agents and tried to obstruct lawful immigration enforcement on Monday morning.
Federal agents descended on MacArthur Park in the sanctuary city of Los Angeles on Monday to conduct an immigration raid.

Mayor Bass demanded to speak to the person in charge, however, the border patrol chief hit back hard and told Bass to pound sand.
“I don’t work for Karen Bass. Better get used to us now, cause this is going to be normal very soon. We will go anywhere, anytime we want in Los Angeles,” Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino said to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin.
NEW: I just spoke to Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino @USBPChiefELC, who was the official on the phone with LA Mayor Karen Bass at MacArthur Park today. I asked him for his message to her, as she demands raids end?

An apparent federal immigration sweep occurred at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles’ Westlake District late Monday morning.
What we know: Aerial images from SkyFOX showed several agents surrounding the famed park at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and S. Alvarado Street.
A black Department of Homeland Security helicopter was seen overhead, while agents on the ground were in armored vehicles and on horseback.
By 11:07 a.m., LA Mayor Karen Bass was at the scene in a powder blue suit. She was quickly surrounded by local media as well as federal agents. A short time later, she left the area in a city-issued vehicle.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was grilled on Monday during a press briefing by reporters asking about the leaked memo from the DOJ and FBI on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
The memo claims there is no incriminating client list, no credible blackmail evidence, and no grounds to investigate uncharged individuals connected to Epstein’s massive sex trafficking operation.
Previously, the FBI unbelievably determined that Epstein did commit suicide in August 2019, and Director Kash Patel has repeatedly defended these findings.
Leavitt, on Friday, was asked by Newsmax’s Mike Carter for an explanation to Trump supporters who want accountability for the crimes, and she claimed that the investigation was “exhaustive” and that, despite the nothingness of the report and the remaining questions, “that’s transparency.”
She was then asked by Fox’s Peter Doocy, “what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?” and she attempted to bring him back to the quote, which he handily had prepared. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, in February, Bondi told Fox’s John Roberts that the Epstein client list was “sitting on my desk right now to review.” She didn’t say that other documents were sitting on her desk or that she thinks a list of Epstein’s clients is within the documents on her desk. She also stated in another interview the day before that “a lot of documents” would be released.
Still, Leavitt claimed that Bondi was referring to “the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper, in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.” She then deflected to the DOJ’s “emphasis on violent crime and locking up violent criminals” before she echoed her line about the DOJ’s “exhaustive review” of the Epstein files.
What reporters failed to ask is what the Trump Administration makes of the widespread belief that the FBI and DOJ are involved in a cover-up of the Epstein files, what ever happened to Bondi’s claims that she was misled by FBI agents after her dumpster fire of an epstein file release to a select group of MAGA influencers, and whether Leavitt actually believes Epstein committed suicide.
WATCH:
Carter: The DOJ and 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: This administration wants anyone who has ever committed a crime to be held accountable. And I would argue this administration has done more to lock up bad guys than, certainly, the previous administration, and 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, and they put out a memo in conclusion of that review. There was material they did not release because, frankly, it was incredibly graphic, and it contained child pornography, which is not something that’s appropriate for public consumption, but they committed to an exhaustive investigation. That’s what they did, and they provided the results of that. That’s transparency.
Doocy: Okay, so the FBI looks at the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic review revealed no incriminating client lists. So, what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?
Leavitt: Well, I think if you go back and look at what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was on your network, on Fox News—
Doocy: I’ve got the quote. John Roberts said, “DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?” And she said, “they’re sitting on my desk right now to review.”
Leavitt: Yes. She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper, in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. That’s what the Attorney General was referring to, and I’ll let her speak for that. But again, when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars. They have an operation going on right now called Summer Heat, which has our murder rate trending in the lowest direction in United States history. Their emphasis on violent crime and locking up violent criminals has led to the arrest of 14,000 violent criminals. That’s a 62% increase in the same time period last year. So, this attorney general and the FBI director are committed to putting bad people behind bars where they belong. They promised an exhaustive review. That’s what they did. For any further details, I will refer you to the Attorney General’s office.
Likewise, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton also questioned the narrative that there is no “incriminating” client list and why the so-called nonincriminating list hasn’t been released.
“You can go line by line and go through this analysis that I’m going through. It may be unfair or overly critical, but in my view, unless you have the records to back up the conclusions you’ve drawn in a case such as this, this isn’t worth much,” Fitton said.
He further slammed the Trump Administration, saying, “I don’t think even the Biden administration would have written anything like this. I just don’t think they could have thought they could get away with it. And I’ve got to wonder: what is going on at the leadership of the Justice Department and the FBI to allow them to think that statements like the following are acceptable?”
But not everyone was impressed with our investigative report.
Grok AI was asked about this missing video and published a ridiculous and embarrassing response on this Gateway Pundit report.
Grok was asked if this TGP report is accurate. Here is Grok’s response.
The Gateway Pundit claims a 60-second gap in DOJ-released Epstein jail footage, but no other sources corroborate this. Recent FBI/DOJ memos and videos confirm suicide with no external entry to his cell. This appears to be an unsubstantiated allegation. For facts, check http://justice.gov directly.
Grok says no other source has corraborated this finding despite the fact that ANYONE can play the video we provide and see the missing footage for themselves.
Grok then says to check the DOJ or justice.gov for facts.
Guess what, Grok? We took the video DIRECTLY from the justice.gov website!
Grok really needs to do better – especially when it’s smearing solid investigative reports.
Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)/Image: Video screenshot/ABC News
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has arguably topped last week’s embarrassing performance on the House floor with one of the worst Photoshop jobs of all time.
On Monday, Jeffries attempted to make himself relatable to everyday Americans by posting a photo of himself on Instagram leaning against a park bench in Brooklyn. He is seen wearing a tracksuit and sunglasses to try to give off a cool vibe.
“Home Sweet Home,” he wrote.
However, as one can see, there are a few problems with the photo. Not only is Jeffries’s waist far thinner than in real life, but the bench actually BENDS like it’s trying to escape.
That’s not photoshop. He’s demonstrating the effects climate change by showing how the structural integrity of the bench was weakened by the oppressive heat as he leaned against it for a totally and completely unscripted photo op

Trump will use tariffs to try to turn back the clock on the BRICS expansion.
While the BRICS group was created no less than 16 years ago, it took the feeble Joe Biden administration from hell to give a major boost to the idea of a multipolar world – since the US was being governed by the autopen.
Today, the BRICS countries are Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and United Arab Emirates – and some other 10 countries have joined as ‘partner countries’: Belarus, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Nigeria, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Uganda and Uzbekistan.
It’s a rapidly expanding association of countries, moving towards multipolarity, and – what’s more concerning to the US – de-dollarization.
With the triumphant return of Donald J. Trump to power, the United States is no longer just a pale imitation of its former power.
But even with a reinvigorated America and with Trump flexing his geopolitical muscles like never before, can he really un-ring that bell?
“U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said that countries aligning themselves with the ‘Anti-American policies’ of BRICS, will be charged an additional 10% tariff.
‘Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’ Trump said in a post on Truth Social.”
Putin, Modi and Xi: multipolarity is ongoing.
While the sovereign decision by Trump’s administration to impose additional tariffs on the BRICS is to be respected, it’s unlikely that these economic weapons will sway anyone but the least committed countries in the group.
‘Multipolarity is not a choice,’ Lavrov says, it’s ‘an objective REALITY’

Texas DPS pursue drug smuggler and illegal aliens on high-speed chase and K-9 pursuit on foot. Footage from 6/28/25. Posted 7/2/25
Border crossings have been down about 99 percent since President Trump resumed office. During the campaign, he promised the American people he would shut down the border completely. He was correct when he said we needed a new President, not a new bill to close the border.
With that said, four years of the Biden regime has done catastrophic damage, with millions of illegal aliens intentionally brought into the US to destroy our way of life. Law enforcement will have their hands full for years combating illegal aliens and drug smuggling.
Texas DPS pursued a drug smuggler in Cameron County carrying 97 pounds of marijuana in a Chevy Tahoe. The driver, Cris Daniel Mendoza, refused to stop for the trooper, which led to a high-speed chase.
After taking off quickly, the driver eventually stopped. Multiple people, including the driver and illegal aliens, can be seen exiting the vehicle and running away. After that, DPS troopers brought out the K-9 unit for a one-mile trek to locate the driver and two of the illegal aliens. It appears that the rest of the group got away.
The driver and smuggler Mendoza, along with the other suspects, are facing charges of evading arrest, marijuana possession, and being involved with organized crime.

A group of prominent leaders is pushing President Trump to implement one of the greatest conservative betrayals imaginable, according to one of MAGA’s top figures.
Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk revealed this morning on his podcast that he had received a call from two establishment GOP figures who told him that now was the time to push for a deal that would legalize 25 million illegal aliens in America.
This would be the largest amnesty deal in American history by far. Why? Because these RINOs are supposedly scared of losing the midterms.
“Literally the day before President Trump signed the big, beautiful bill, I got a couple of phone calls from people that you would call members of the ‘ruling class,’” Kirk told his listeners. “They said, ‘Now, we need mass amnesty.’
“They said, ‘we’re going to lose the midterms because of these deportations…We need to come to the middle and legalize the 25 million people in this country, Kirk added. “I was speechless.”
Kirk emphasized that this disturbing development exceeds anything happening in America right now. He’s correct because amnesty would irrevocably alter the fabric of this country.
“There is a movement afoot as I am doing this broadcast, this is bigger than anything with Epstein, tax cuts…It is happening RIGHT NOW in Washington, DC. “I can say this from firsthand experience that people are pushing President Trump for amnesty. They are pushing him for the mass legalization of illegals.”
WATCH:
BREAKING: Charlie Kirk says there are efforts from high-level people within the Trump admin pushing President Trump for a bipartisan mass Amnesty Deal for Illegal Aliens
“We did not run on Mass amnesty. We ran on Mass Deportation.”
This news from Kirk also comes after Trump shocked his supporters by expressing support for legalizing illegal alien farm workers during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds last Thursday.
Trump appeared to credit his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins for the idea. “You’re the one that brought this whole situation up,” Trump said to Rollins from the stage.
“You had cases where, not here, but just even over the years, where people have worked for a farm, on a farm, for 14, 15 years, and they get thrown out pretty viciously, and we can’t do it,” the President told the crowd. “We’ve got to work with the farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties too.”
America needs to hope that Trump will start listening again to the likes of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan on this matter. MAGA needs to pay close attention to what happens over the next few weeks.

“Jesus wants to be the first in your life. Prayer changes hearts and transforms lives. It uplifts the soul, inspires action, and unites us all as one nation under God. Our country was founded on prayer. Our communities are sustained by prayer. And our nation will be renewed by hard work, a lot of intelligence, and prayer.” – President Donald Trump, National Day of Prayer, May 3, 2018
The political climate for Christians in America has dramatically improved under President Trump compared to the hostile environment they faced during the Biden administration. After four years of systematic targeting, discrimination, and outright persecution of Christian Americans, the Trump administration has moved swiftly to restore religious freedom and end anti-Christian bias in government.
The Biden years marked one of the most sustained attacks on Christian Americans in modern history. From the highest levels of government to military installations, Christians were targeted for their faith in unprecedented ways. One of the most egregious examples was the FBI’s targeting of traditional Catholics. A now-infamous memo from the Richmond field office, dated January 2023, advised developing sources within Catholic churches as “threat mitigation” and labeled “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as potential domestic terrorists. The memo was shared with over 1,000 FBI employees across multiple field offices. Senate investigations later revealed anti-Catholic language in at least 13 FBI documents, exposing the scope of the bias.
Biden also became the first president since 1952 to omit the word “God” from his National Day of Prayer proclamation in 2021. While presidents like Obama and Trump referenced God repeatedly, Biden mentioned only “many religions and belief systems” and “the power of prayer,” deliberately omitting Christianity from the nation’s spiritual foundation.
The Biden DOJ charged nearly two dozen peaceful pro-life Christians for praying and demonstrating outside abortion clinics, resulting in multi-year prison sentences. Among those convicted were a Catholic priest, a 75-year-old grandmother, and an 87-year-old woman.
Biden’s support for the Equality Act would have overridden the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, forcing Christian institutions to violate their beliefs on marriage, sexuality, and gender. While Christians welcome all people, they uphold biblical teachings that define certain behaviors as sinful. The Equality Act would have stripped them of policies based on biological sex, banned teaching against homosexual or transgender behavior, and required acceptance of same-sex relationships. Though the bill didn’t pass, Biden’s support revealed his intent to use federal power against Christian values. Unlike Trump, who restored religious exemptions, Biden worked to eliminate them, leaving Christians without protection for conscience rights.
The Biden administration also used COVID vaccine mandates to target and purge Christian service members. Multiple Marines described it as “a political purge,” removing some of the most committed and principled troops. At the same time, military training materials portrayed Christians as potential extremists, claiming “Christian extremism is often conflated with white supremacy.” Many Christians were discharged for refusing the vaccine on religious grounds.
Upon returning to office, President Trump immediately reversed these policies. On January 27, 2025, he signed an executive order reinstating all service members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. The order restored rank, back pay, and benefits, and offered those who resigned under pressure a chance to rejoin. Trump also eliminated radical “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) initiatives from the military and reversed Biden-era gender ideology policies, part of a broader effort to depoliticize the armed forces and restore religious liberty.
During Holy Week 2023, the Biden administration sent a “cease and desist” letter to Catholic clergy at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, barring them from offering pastoral care just days before Easter. The contract for Catholic ministry was given to a secular contractor with no ability to offer sacraments, sparking outrage from the Archdiocese and Catholic leaders nationwide. Then in 2024, Biden proclaimed March 31, Easter Sunday, as Transgender Day of Visibility. His proclamation urged Americans to “lift up” transgender voices on the same day Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a move many saw as antagonistic toward Christian beliefs.
In contrast, Easter 2025 saw President Trump reaffirm his commitment to restoring Christianity in American life. He and First Lady Melania hosted an Easter prayer service and dinner at the White House, joined by Christian leaders including Franklin Graham and Alveda King. Trump declared “He is Risen!” and emphasized protecting Christian faith in schools, the military, and public institutions. Leading up to Easter, he had already reestablished the White House Faith Office, launched a Religious Liberty Commission, and signed an executive order creating a federal task force to combat anti-Christian bias in government.
Biden also promoted transgender military service with taxpayer-funded “gender transitions” and issued a memorandum directing U.S. agencies worldwide to promote LGBTQ rights globally, placing America at the forefront of advancing transgender ideology.
President Trump reversed these policies. In January 2025, he signed an executive order redefining “sex” in federal law strictly as biological male or female, eliminating recognition of gender identity across government. He also banned transgender individuals from military service, citing concerns over unit cohesion, deployability, and medical readiness, particularly due to their dependence on prescription drugs like hormone therapy. Additionally, Trump revoked Biden’s directive requiring U.S. embassies and foreign aid programs to promote LGBTQ rights globally. The Trump administration cut U.S. AID funding for transgender advocacy overseas, redirecting those resources toward religious freedom and pro-family initiatives. These actions marked a decisive shift toward restoring biological definitions and protecting traditional values in federal policy.
