Month: July 2025

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has responded to Barack Obama’s pathetic attempt to distance himself from his treasonous actions during the Russia Collusion Hoax.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, Gabbard released her second batch of previously undisclosed documents on Wednesday morning. These documents include more proof that Barack Obama directly gave the order to publish the Russia Collusion hoax, knowing there was no proof to back it up.

Page three of this latest document drop shows that then-President Obama ordered the release of documents, knowing there was no evidence to back them up. Obama didn’t just know about the Russia hoax – he directed it. All to delegitimize Trump’s historic win.

Obama also helped cover up the blackmail Vladimir Putin had on Crooked Hillary Clinton, including her numerous health issues.

But Obama claims this is just “misinformation” and “a weak attempt at distraction.” The former president used his spokesperson, Patrick Rodenbush, to release this statement on Tuesday after Trump correctly identified him as the ringleader of the Russia Collusion Hoax:

Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.

This morning on Fox and Friends Weekend, Gabbard fired back at Obama in epic fashion.

GABBARD: They would have to admit and actually address the details of their complicity in this or their absolute failure in conducting the most basic responsibilities of, again, asking, where is this intelligence coming from? What are the sources? What proof do you have of this high-confidence assessment?

Remember, John Brennan and James Clapper at the time assessed, and James Comey, with high confidence, that Russia aspired to help Donald Trump win the election in 2016, when there was no credible intelligence that actually reported that.

So, President Obama’s very carefully worded response that came from his office, again, deflects away from addressing any of the truth that was revealed.

The treasonous conspiracy that we have now released to the American people. The complicity, the deflection, and the silence of politicians, of the mainstream media, and of those directly implicated in this speak volumes.

Gabbard also dropped another nugget of information. Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner, who was the head of the intelligence committee at the time of the hoax, refused even to give a whistleblower his email address after the person contradicted his findings in the hoax.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino on Saturday revealed there is a Deep State investigation going on behind the scenes.

Bongino, referring to the weaponization of intelligence operations, said what he has seen has shocked him to his core.

“I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned,” Bongino said on X.

Full statement from Bongino:

During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening.

The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations. It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned.

We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law. We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE. As with any investigation, I cannot predict where it will land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at truth. Not “my truth,” or “your truth,” but THE TRUTH.

God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
Respectfully,
Dan

ODNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped a bomb on the Deep State after she declassified a presidential briefing from December 2016, Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.

Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he was personally involved in manufacturing and politicizing the intelligence to create the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

The declassified report alleges that John Brennan, together with Obama-era officials like James Clapper and James Comey, directed the creation of a misleading Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) claiming “Putin aspired to help President‑elect Trump’s election chances.”

Recent declassifications in July 2025, under DNI Tulsi Gabbard, include a HPSCI oversight report and DNI press releases (e.g., PR-15-25 and PR-18-25) on Obama-era actions. These build on prior materials, focusing on the ICA’s creation.

• HPSCI Report Findings on Brennan:
  • Brennan ordered the ICA’s publication despite veteran CIA officers’ warnings it was “substandard” and relied on dubious sources, including the Steele dossier. He overruled objections, reportedly saying of the dossier, “Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?”
  • The ICA claimed Putin “aspired to help” Trump’s election by discrediting Clinton, but excluded intelligence contradicting this (e.g., reports Putin was neutral or prepared for a Clinton win). Only a “scant, unclear, and unverifiable fragment” supported the claim.
  • Brennan directed inclusion of “substandard reporting” on December 9, 2016, after an Obama Oval Office meeting, ignoring standards because it was a presidential directive.
  • The report accuses Brennan of misleading lawmakers by denying dossier use in the ICA, though it was referenced in the text and annex.
• DNI PR-18-25 Revelations:
  • Brennan and IC leaders “mischaracterized intelligence” to create a “contrived false narrative” of Putin’s Trump preference, suppressing contradictory info that made the claim “implausible—if not ridiculous.”
  • Brennan overruled officers who noted “we don’t have direct information that Putin wanted to get Trump elected.”
  • In a December 2016 memo, Brennan stated: “There is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election.”
  • The ICA was unusually directed by senior officials like Brennan, using just five analysts and one principal drafter.
• DNI PR-15-25 Revelations:
  • Brennan attended a December 9, 2016, White House meeting where Obama directed creation of the ICA to detail Russian “tools” influencing the election. No direct quotes from Brennan, but it implies his involvement in what the release calls a “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Trump.

Pollster Matt Towery joined Fox’s “The Ingraham Angle,” to share why the mainstream media continues to get it wrong when it comes to President Trump’s approval numbers.  Towery suggests that Trump’s approval ratings far exceed what the media claims.

Per The Daily Caller, “Gallup published a poll Thursday showing Trump’s approval rating dropped to 37%, with support among independents falling to 29%.”

Ingraham said, “The overall approval rating, one was 42%. That looked kind of low to me, but overall people are generally, seem to be pretty happy.”

Towery replied, “Well, it is low. And let me tell you, there’s a war that takes place. You talk about the media. There’s one among us pollsters as well.”

“Those of us who poll Trump very well and have been accurate, oftentimes our polls are shunted to the side and instead you get like a Gallup poll.”

“Gallup used to be very good at doing presidential approval. They’re not anymore. They certainly are not with Trump.”

“38% approval? That’s a joke.”

“So, really, when you look at polls, it’s almost like when you look at the old legacy media versus the new media and the conservative media. It’s two different worlds.”

“Trust me, Donald Trump’s at above 50% approval, majority approval in this country. Take it from me. I’m right.”

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the state of Missouri against Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA).

The lawsuit alleges that PPFA is violating the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act by claiming chemical abortion drugs are “safer” than many other medicines, including Tylenol and penicillin.

AG Bailey announced in a press release, “The national Planned Parenthood organization is actively endangering the lives of women and girls across the country by spreading lies and disinformation about the powerful chemical abortion drug.”

“The facts are clear: more than 4.5 percent of women who take this dangerous drug end up in the emergency room, yet Planned Parenthood compares it to Tylenol. This is a blatant violation of Missouri law, and I will not allow a death factory to lie to Missouri women in pursuit of its radical agenda.”

According to the lawsuit, PPFA “uses its website to make dangerous claims, such as calling the chemical abortion drug ‘safer than many other medicines like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra,’ despite FDA labeling and peer-reviewed studies showing serious adverse events in more than 4.5 percent of cases, with new research suggesting even higher rates, closer to more than 10 percent.”

The lawsuit further claims that women are encouraged to conceal their abortion drug use from their own emergency medical providers, significantly increasing the risk of complications.

Attorney General Bailey’s petition seeks:

• More than $1.8 million in civil penalties for daily violations of Missouri law;

• Up to $1,000 in damages or restitution for every Missouri woman Planned Parenthood
provided abortion pills to in the past five years;

• Reimbursement to the state for Medicaid and other taxpayer-funded emergency care resulting from abortion pill complications;

• A court order halting Planned Parenthood Federation of America from continuing to promote these falsehoods in Missouri.

“The lies must stop. We’re holding the national Planned Parenthood entity accountable for the lies it tells women in Missouri and across the nation,” concluded Attorney General Bailey. “No one is above the law, not even Planned Parenthood.”

The Ethics & Public Policy Center conducted the largest-known study of the abortion pill based on analysis of data from an all-payer insurance claims database that includes 865,727 prescribed mifepristone abortions from 2017 to 2023.

The study notes, “10.93 percent of women experience sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days following a mifepristone abortion” and the real-world rate of serious adverse events following mifepristone abortions “is at least 22 times as high as the summary figure of ‘less than 0.5 percent’ in clinical trials reported on the drug label.

Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) proved once again earlier this week why she is considered arguably the dumbest member of Congress after getting thoroughly humiliated by an anti-woke conservative witness.

The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee held a hearing on Wednesday entitled “Ending Illegal DEI Discrimination & Preferences: Enforcing Our Civil Rights Laws.” Multiple witnesses, including Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, appeared to discuss the blatant unconstitutionality of the racist practice.

At one point in the hearing, Hirono tried to entrap Gene Hamilton, the President and co-founder of America First Legal, with a silly gotcha question that blew up in her face.

The Hawaii senator demanded whether any court had declared DEI unconstitutional, believing the answer was “no.” Hamilton, though, came ready and pointed out that the Supreme Court declared the use of DEI unconstitutional in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. In this case, the Court ruled that race-based affirmative action programs in most college admissions violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Affirmative action is a type of DEI policy.

Hirono, though, thought the ruling did no such thing and believed Hamilton had face-planted. Hamilton then delivered a brutal burn when he suggested that Hirono do something she is not used to.

WATCH:

WRECKED.

Hirono: Has any court said that DEI is unconstitutional? Yes or no?

Hamilton: Yes.

Hirono: Which court?

Hamilton: The United States Supreme Court.

Hirono: I disagree with you…

Hamilton: You can go read it yourself.

A video posted to Instagram Friday has gone viral that shows several liberal women harassing ICE and other federal agents arresting two suspected illegal aliens in the parking lot of a Home Depot in the southern California beach city of Encinitas.

The woman who posted the video to the account “@life_by_dani_” closed captioned the video and posted commentary.

The video shows her joined by two other women in confronting the agents: Swearing at them, demanding to see a warrant, accusing them of kidnapping, berating them for wearing masks and insulting them for being ICE agents. One women kept trying to get a phone number from one of the suspected illegal aliens so she could contact his family and was upset because the agents were too busy making an arrest to accommodate her demands.

I was driving home from Trader Joe’s this morning after I dropped my son off at summer camp and saw ICE tying these people up at Home Depot. I watched as these two people were disappeared into unmarked vehicles, with one of the ICE vehicles trying to back into me when I wasn’t looking.

Another woman tried to help. An ICE agent tried to slap her phone down when she tried to get a phone number to call this man’s family. They wouldn’t let her. Instead, they whisked him away and accused her of obstructing justice.

This man won’t return home to his family tonight, and his family will probably never know what happened to him.

This is the America we’re living in.

This is our little beach town of Encinitas.

An exchange between one of the NFL’s premier coaches and a woke sports ‘reporter’ earlier this week provided yet another example of how the culture has shifted since President Trump’s election last year.

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh was giving a press conference following training camp on Wednesday when a media hack attempted to shame him for meeting with the president back on July 10.

As The Daily Caller noted, Harbaugh and other family members, including his brother, Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, visited the Trump White House.

However, Kyle Goon from The Baltimore Banner was triggered by a “denigrating” comment Trump made about Baltimore several years ago and could not believe the Ravens coach would grace Trump with his presence.

Back in 2019, Trump called a run-down section of Charm City a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”

Harbaugh, though, calmly flipped the tables and shut down Goon with this epic reply.

HARBAUGH: How you framed that question — I would have framed that question like: ‘You got a chance to go visit with the president, man. What was that experience like?’

It was amazing. It was awesome. And I promise you I root for our president.

I want our president to be successful just like I want my quarterback to be successful, and I want my team to be successful, and it was an amazing experience.

You know, it’s not often you get invited, and you get a chance to do something like that as a family…My mom and President Trump, seeing how he treated her was really meaningful.

As Fox News notes, Harbaugh went on to recall he and his brother’s past meetings with Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan.

“And that’s the fourth president (I’ve met). Now, Jim has met seven…So he’s got the lead on me.”

I had a chance to meet President Obama twice. Incredible experience. I had a chance to meet President Biden when he was vice president in Iraq, and I spent a lot of time with him in Iraq, which was amazing.

“And then when I was 24 or 25 years old, Jim got invited to the White House to meet President Reagan because he was a Heisman Trophy candidate, and we got to go as a family, so I met President Reagan. I have a picture in my office of that. ”

“So those are moments that I definitely cherish, and it means a lot.”

Western MSM continues to lambast Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, even after he backtracked on his own decision on defanging the anti-corruption agencies.

And the British Spectator reported on the reason why he made the worst mistake of his political life: to protect his close friend and gray eminence Andriy Yermak.

Read: KIEV REGIME INFIGHTING: Zelensky’s ‘Grey Eminence’ Yermak Is on a Power Grab, Trying To Replace Top Ukrainian Spy Budanov – White House Brands Him ‘A Liability’ Linked to Hunter Biden

“For six years in office, Volodymyr Zelensky never experienced the raging crowd beneath his window. But Ukraine’s wartime president grew too powerful, too confident, bathing in the unwavering support of Ukrainians in the face of a greater evil. He overstepped.”

Zelensky was sure that stripping the anti-corruption institutions of their independence would go smoothly.

It did not.

The Kiev regime leader had to back down, and introduce another bill undoing the changes introduced by the previous one.

“Ukrainian lawmakers will return from their outrageous four-week holiday to vote on it in parliament. ‘It is important that we maintain unity’, Zelensky said. ‘It is important that we respect the position of all Ukrainians’.”

But will Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency, NABU, and the office of the anti-corruption prosecutor, SAPO, be able to investigate regime politicians?

“There is no evidence of Zelensky’s personal involvement in corruption, but the same cannot be said for those who share his office. In parliament alone, at least 17 MPs who voted for the scandalous bill have been suspected of corruption by Nabu. But most importantly, the bureau cast its eye over appointees linked to Zelensky’s right-hand man, Andriy Yermak: Pavlo Kyrylenko, the current head of the Anti-monopoly Committee, suspected of illegally enriching himself by nearly £1 million, and Oleksiy Chernyshov, deputy prime minister, allegedly involved in a corruption scheme that cost the state more than £17 million.”

The influence of Yermak in the government can’t be overstated. He and Zelensky live together in the same bunker, sharing the routine of morning workouts and nightly movie sessions.

Yermak was reportedly the mastermind behind the ‘suicidal’ bill against the anti-corruption agencies.

The bill was approved at lighting speed by MPs who in many cases were being investigated by the agencies that they were neutralizing.

“By evening, nothing could stop Zelensky from signing it: not the pleas from the Ukrainian public gathered in front of his office in Kyiv, nor the appeals from G7 ambassadors, nor phone calls from French president Emmanuel Macron and Antonio Costa, European Council president. The pace was unprecedented for a president known to let dozens of draft laws gather dust on his desk for months.”

The spell is broken: Zelensky is now seen as a common politician, suspected of corruption.

The Trump administration has launched a sweeping investigation into Harvard University, citing a range of national security and compliance concerns related to its foreign visa holders. Central to the inquiry are allegations that the university failed to report misconduct by foreign students, allowed antisemitic harassment to persist, maintained improper ties with hostile foreign governments, and neglected to enforce visa regulations.

The investigation, led by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security, covers all Harvard-affiliated visa holders, including F-1 student visas as well as B-1 (business), B-2 (tourist), and J-1 exchange visitor visas. Authorities are closely examining Harvard’s compliance with the Exchange Visitor Program, which permits the university to sponsor short-term visas for international instructors, researchers, and certain students.

As part of the inquiry, Harvard has been ordered to turn over records related to its visa sponsorships, and federal officials may interview university staff and current visa holders. Additional concerns cited by investigators include failures in visa oversight, a rise in campus crime, and millions of dollars in undisclosed foreign funding.

The battle between the Trump administration and Harvard has been ongoing for several months, with federal judges intervening on behalf of the university, slowing the process, and threatening national security. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requested information from Harvard regarding foreign students involved in illegal or violent activity, threats to others, or actions disrupting campus life.

A letter dated April 16, 2025, specifically asked for disciplinary records related to protests, threats, or obstruction of the learning environment. Harvard submitted incomplete data covering only three students, too limited for DHS to evaluate, and ignored a follow-up request from the Department’s Office of General Counsel. The administration argues that Harvard’s refusal to provide this information poses a national security risk, as the federal government depends on such disclosures to ensure visa compliance.

Officials further allege that Harvard has failed to address antisemitic harassment on campus. A joint task force reported widespread discrimination, intimidation, and threats targeting Jewish students, with little intervention from university leadership. Harvard’s own 2025 internal study found that nearly 60 percent of Jewish students experienced bias, stereotyping, or discrimination based on their views of current events.

The administration has also raised concerns about Harvard’s ties to foreign governments, particularly China and Iran. From 2019 to 2024, Harvard hosted members of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC), a Chinese paramilitary group sanctioned for its role in the Uyghur genocide. Despite XPCC’s 2020 designation on the U.S. Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals List, Harvard’s China Health Partnership continued hosting events with XPCC officials, which were publicized in Chinese state media.

Federal authorities also point to collaborations between Harvard researchers and Chinese institutions tied to the People’s Liberation Army. These include DARPA-funded work with Tsinghua University on AI-related materials, joint development of surveillance-capable microrobots with Zhejiang University, and physics research co-authored with faculty from the National University of Defense Technology, which falls under China’s Central Military Commission.

In 2023, a Harvard professor co-authored at least six papers with researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University’s State Key Laboratory for Strength and Vibration of Mechanical Structures. Additionally, Harvard researchers took part in at least four projects from 2020 to 2024 funded by Iranian government institutions, including the Iranian National Science Foundation.

Officials also cite past security incidents involving Harvard affiliates. Professor Charles Lieber, without the university’s knowledge, served as a strategic scientist at Wuhan University of Technology while participating in China’s Thousand Talents Plan, all while receiving over $15 million in U.S. research grants. In another case, PLA Lieutenant Ye falsely claimed to be a student on her J-1 visa while continuing military service and sending U.S. research data to China.

From 2013 to 2020, Harvard received nearly $94 million in donations from China, more than any other U.S. university, and over $18 million more in 2023 alone, without disclosing donor identities. The administration argues that such financial ties raise serious transparency and influence concerns.

Officials further point to a breakdown in campus security. Between 2022 and 2023, crime at Harvard rose 55 percent, with aggravated assaults up 195 percent and robberies up 460 percent. The administration claims this reflects broader failures in governance, particularly regarding oversight of international students.

They also argue that Harvard either fails to keep adequate disciplinary records or does not monitor foreign student conduct seriously. This lack of transparency, they contend, undermines the government’s ability to enforce immigration rules and safeguard national security.

The standoff between the Trump administration and Harvard escalated in April, when the administration froze more than $2 billion in federal research grants after Harvard refused to comply with directives from the Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. On May 22, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem terminated Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, blocking new foreign student enrollment and requiring existing students to transfer or risk losing legal status.

Harvard sued to challenge the SEVP revocation on May 23, and a federal judge immediately issued a temporary restraining order blocking DHS enforcement. On May 28, DHS issued a Notice of Intent to Withdraw the SEVP certification via a separate administrative process. Then, on June 4, President Trump issued a proclamation barring foreign students from entering the U.S. to attend Harvard, citing national security concerns.

Between June 20 and 23, federal courts issued preliminary injunctions blocking both the SEVP termination and the presidential proclamation, preserving the status quo while litigation proceeds. On June 23, the State Department launched a new investigation into Harvard’s Exchange Visitor Program, requiring expedited document production and enhanced social media screening for visa applicants.

Harvard’s SEVP certification remains in place under court protection, allowing continued enrollment of international students and issuance of visa documents. However, the legal battle continues, with federal agencies pursuing further administrative reviews and investigations. The broader conflict between Harvard and the Trump administration remains unresolved.
