Former Black Sabbath rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has died at 76.

Osbourne passed away surrounded by his family.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the family said in a statement to The Sun. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.

“Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

The Daily Mail reported:

Ozzy Osbourne has died ‘surrounded by love’ at the age of 76, a statement from his family said.

Whether it was biting the head off both a bat and a dove, snorting a line of ants or urinating on a US war memorial whilst wearing one of his wife Sharon’s dresses, Osbourne was defined by his antics both on and off stage.

The Black Sabbath frontman was a titan of music who somehow survived controversies that would end the careers of many others, and weathered health problems that would leave most of us on our backs.

But even the Prince of Darkness could not resist mortality forever.

BRAEKING…

NPR’s Editor-in-Chief Edith Chapin announced she will leave her post by the Fall after the passage of the $9 billion rescissions package.

House Republicans passed a sweeping $9 billion rescissions package last Thursday that delivers a knockout punch to globalist pet projects and leftist propaganda machines like NPR and PBS.

The vote was 216–213, with only two Republicans—Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick and Mike Turner—breaking ranks to side with Democrats in opposition.

Edith Chapin said she made the decision on her own to step down and that it had nothing to do with the rescissions package.

NPR reported:

NPR’s editor in chief and acting chief content officer Edith Chapin told colleagues Tuesday morning that she has decided to step down.

The veteran news leader’s announcement comes just days after the Republican-led Congress, driven largely by President Trump’s claims of liberal bias at NPR, voted to strip public broadcasting of all federal funding.

Chapin says the choice was hers and not driven by the action in Congress. In a brief interview, she says she surprised NPR CEO Katherine Maher with her decision two weeks ago.

“I have had two big executive jobs for two years and I want to take a break. I want to make sure my performance is always top-notch for the company,” Chapin says. She says she expects to stay at NPR until September or October.

In a note to staff, Maher thanked Chapin for her work. “Edith has been an indispensable partner during my first year at NPR, a steady leader for a large part of this organization, and a fantastic collaborator as a member of the executive team,” she wrote. She did not offer any details about transition planning and interim leadership, saying she would share more once she had it.

Today marks a critical moment in the ongoing fight for election integrity, free speech, and constitutional justice as Tina Peters — the former Mesa County Clerk turned whistleblower — faces a federal court hearing that could determine whether her case will be allowed to proceed.

This morning, The Gateway Pundit reiterates yesterday’s urgent announcement: a federal habeas corpus hearing is being held TODAY in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The court will decide whether to let Tina Peters’ constitutional challenge move forward — or to dismiss the case entirely.

LISTEN LIVE TO TODAY’S HEARING
The hearing is open to the public via live dial-in audio access, and we are encouraging every concerned American to listen in and witness history in real time.

Today — Tuesday, July 22, 2025
2:00 PM Mountain / 4:00 PM Eastern
Dial: 571-353-2301
Enter Meeting ID: 252821415#
Note: Please remain muted. Recording is strictly prohibited.

What’s at Stake
This is not yet a motion for Tina’s release — today’s hearing is the court’s opportunity to either extinguish her case completely or allow it to proceed. As attorney Peter Ticktin put it yesterday, this is a fight to “survive extinction.”

If successful, the legal team will move quickly to file a follow-up motion seeking Tina’s release pending appeal — and Ticktin has already stated he will ask the court to expedite that next hearing, citing Tina’s unjust incarceration.

But for now, the battle is to ensure her voice — and her case — is not silenced by technicalities or political pressure.

Tina Peters Will Not Be Allowed to Attend Her Own Hearing
Shockingly, despite the constitutional magnitude of today’s proceedings, Tina Peters will not be allowed to physically attend her own hearing. However, she will be permitted to listen in remotely from inside the Colorado facility where she remains jailed.

This decision only further highlights what many see as a politically motivated attempt to silence one of the most prominent election integrity voices in the country.

Tina Peters Is an American Hero — She Should NOT Be in Prison
Let’s be clear: Tina Peters did her job.

She followed federal law — 52 U.S.C. § 20701 — which requires election officials to preserve all records for 22 months following a federal election. She took steps to secure digital records on Dominion voting systems before those systems were wiped under the guise of a “trusted build.” Her intent was clear: preserve the data, protect transparency, and defend the truth.

And for that, she now sits behind bars — not for any act of violence or fraud, but for challenging the legitimacy of what has been widely proven to be a deeply flawed and suspicious election process.

Criticizing government systems and protecting evidence is not a crime — it’s a civic duty.

Tina Peters is a Gold Star mother, a whistleblower, and an American patriot — not a criminal. She is being punished for speaking the truth. And today, the world will hear her case.

Please say a little prayer for Tina today.

President Trump has declared that Russiagate “ringleader” Barack Obama is “guilty” of treason and should be targeted by the DOJ for the coup d’état to defraud and overthrow the incoming President, Donald Trump, in 2016.

“”After what they did to me, and whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people,” Trump said.

President Trump on Tuesday spoke to reporters in the Oval Office during a bilateral meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard criminally referred the Obama gang to the DOJ for their attempts to “subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.”

According to Gabbard, Obama personally ordered them to “manufacture a new intelligence assessment” on Russian interference, despite no evidence backing such claims.

Gabbard’s report alleges the use of discredited Steele dossier content—funded by Clinton allies—to falsely inflate the Russia narrative, then aggressively leaker-fed to the “fake news” media (think WaPo, NYT) to drive a nationwide smear campaign.

On Monday, Trump took to Truth Social and declared that Obama HIMSELF was the mastermind behind the entire Russia hoax, calling it “The CRIME of the CENTURY!”

“Obama himself manufactured the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX. Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, and numerous others participated in this, THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!. Irrefutable EVIDENCE. A major threat to our Country!!!” Trump wrote.

BREAKING: Trump Declares “Obama HIMSELF” Orchestrated Russia Hoax — Calls It “The Crime of the Century” with Hillary, Joe, and Deep State Co-Conspirators

Trump further tore into Obama, Clinton, Biden, Clapper, Comey, and the rest of their gang for six straight minutes when asked about the newly declassified documents and who should be targeted as part of the DOJ’s investigation.

“They tried to rig the election, and they got caught, and there should be very severe consequences,” Trump told reporters.

All eyes are now on Attorney General Pam Bondi to ensure justice for the American people.

House Republican leaders have canceled Thursday’s legislative session, deciding instead to recess after wrapping up business on Wednesday, according to Axios.

The House was originally scheduled to wrap up business on Thursday before heading out for a five-week August recess. But following eruptions within the GOP over how to handle the Epstein documents—and Massie’s discharge petition—leadership decided to flee town a day early, canceling Thursday’s session entirely. The chamber is not expected to return until September.

According to Axios, Massie’s petition now has over 10 Republican signatures—enough to bypass the Speaker and bring the measure to a vote.

It can be recalled that Massie joined forces with Rep. Ro Khanna (D‑Calif.) on a discharge petition aimed at compelling a full House vote on releasing classified Jeffrey Epstein files.

“If the executive branch won’t release phase 2 of the Epstein files, we will. Americans deserve transparency and the victims deserve justice,” Massie wrote on X.

Author and commentator Mike Cernovich blasted the move: “Why didn’t he do this during Biden’s regime? Total stunt queen with deep resentment for Trump—and he’s insulting your intelligence.”

Johnson reportedly canceled Rules Committee votes and shelved plans to move forward on major GOP legislation—including key immigration and energy bills. Instead, only low-priority noncontroversial measures made it to the floor before the early recess.

Speaker Johnson insisted Monday night, “We have lots of work with appropriations and committees doing very important stuff.”

But by Tuesday morning, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) quietly noticed the schedule change—effectively pulling the plug on the week.

Axios reported:

The House is leaving Washington a day early for it’s five-week August recess after tensions erupted over efforts to force release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Why it matters: Fallout from the debate over the Epstein files has effectively frozen House business. Leadership opted to cut the week short and leave town before things escalate further.

The final House votes before September are now scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

[…]

Johnson said at a press conference Tuesday that Republicans were “done being lectured about transparency” and that he would not allow Democrats to “continue with their nonsense this week.”

On the same day, House Speaker Mike Johnson tore into Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), accusing him of sabotaging GOP unity and standing in the way of transparency.

According to Punchbowl News:

Mike Johnson: “I don’t understand Thomas Massie’s motivation. I really don’t. I don’t know how his mind works…. I don’t know what he’s what he’s thinking.

“Thomas Massie could have brought his discharge petition anytime over the last four and a half years, over the last four years of Biden administration. He could have done that at any time, and now he’s clamoring as if there’s some sort of timeline on it.

“It’s interesting to me that he chose the election of President Trump to bring this, to team up with the Democrats and bring this discharge petition. So do I have some concern about that I do, but you know in me and my way I try to I try to follow Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment: never speak evil of another Republican.

“My gosh, it’s hard to do sometimes right here. I also try to follow the scripture you know it says, Bless those who persecute you.

“So let me just say about Thomas Massie, could you just accept my Southern, bless his heart, okay, I don’t know. what else to say about it.”

>@SpeakerJohnson on @RepThomasMassie:

“I don’t understand Thomas Massie’s motivation. I really don’t. I don’t know how his mind works…. I don’t know what he’s what he’s thinking.

The Trump White House has responded to Hunter Biden’s wild interview on Monday and did not hold back one bit.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hunter Biden lashed out at President Trump and the administration in a profanity-laced tirade about illegals being deported during an interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.

“I say, f**k you! How are we getting those people back from fucking El Salvador?” Hunter Biden said of the illegals sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison.

Hunter Biden also said that if he were president, he would invade El Salvador if it didn’t send their citizens from prison and send them to the United States.

“I would pick up the phone and call the f**king President of El Salvador and say, you either f**king send them back or I’m going to f**king invade. It’s a f**king crime what they’re doing. He’s a f**king dictator!” Hunter shouted.

Hunter Biden even echoed a tired liberal talking point about how America needs illegal aliens to continue serving as indentured servants.

“Am I not supposed to feel for someone? Am I going to be like all these Democrats say, ‘You have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration?’ F**k you. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned?” Biden added.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson responded to the bizarre Hunter interview with a devastating line, noting both his dad’s open borders immigration policy while roasting Hunter’s drug habit.

“A CBP agent was just shot in the face by two criminal illegal aliens that Joe Biden let into the country, but Hunter is more concerned about who is going to clean up his hotel room after his benders,” Jackson told Fox News.

Ouch! But Jackson was not done.

“This sort of callous, self-interested maliciousness from the entire Biden Crime Family is exactly why Joe Biden left office with record-low approval ratings,” Jackson added.

This is precisely the correct response. Jackson probably should have included former Border czar Kamala Harris in her reply, considering she could not separate herself from Biden on the issue or any other after seizing the Democratic party nomination for president last year.

Fired CBS host Stephen Colbert threw a tantrum and lashed out at President Trump last night after getting fired.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last Thursday for financial reasons, especially given the low ratings. The show will end after the next season in May 2026.

The following day, Trump celebrated the news while mocking Colbert’s low ratings.

“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Colbert expressed confusion over being fired for financial reasons, pointing out that The Late Show is currently No. 1 in ratings and suggesting an ulterior motive.

“Over the weekend, someone at CBS followed up their gracious press release, followed up with a gracious anonymous leak saying, ‘They pulled the plug on our show because of losses pegged between $40 million and $50 million a year.” $40 million is a big number. I could see us losing $24 million, but where would Paramount have possibly spent the other $16 million?” Colbert said, referencing Paramount’s decision to settle a lawsuit with the Trump Administration over the editing of Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview.

“Over the weekend, it sunk in that they’re killing off our show, but they made one mistake: They left me alive. And now, for the next 10 months, the gloves are off,” Colbert boasted.

After reading off Trump’s Truth Social post, which responded to his termination, Colbert lost his temper.

How dare you, sir?! Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?” Colbert fired back. “Go f**k yourself!”

Colbert’s audience burst out in wild applause at his childish outburst.

Colbert then went on to read Trump’s prediction that Jimmy Kimmel was next, and responded with pure vanity.

“Kimmel, I am the martyr. There’s only room for one on this cross. And the view is fantastic from up here. I can see your house,” he quipped.

Far-left actor Jeff Daniels is living up to his role as the inept and bumbling Harry Dunne from ‘Dumb & Dumber’ with his latest screed on anyone who dares to embrace beliefs outside of Hollywood’s radical left orthodoxy.

In a new interview with Nicolle Wallace for her podcast, “The Best People,” Daniels says he hopes Republicans who voted for President Donald Trump will lose a lot of money.

Daniels also fantasized about what could have been with a Kamala win, including the horrifying longing of having Liz Cheney as Secretary of State.

“I still think about Kamala, and how I think she would have been a good choice. I don’t care what they say, because she would have done what Lincoln did. Liz Cheney would have been Secretary of State.”

“But when Mitch [McConnell] started stacking the courts 25 years ago, I said it on your show once, they can see it coming,” Daniels said.

“The new America that is diverse and treats everyone with equality and respect and dignity, you know, kind of like Jesus did. We’re ready for that.”

“And Mitch and company could see it coming. They were going to be the minority, so they just started and then here we are, and now you got it, and now you’re losing money,” Daniels continued.

“I hope you’re losing tons of money, those of you who thought this would be OK,” Daniels went on. “My question is, what are you guys going to do about it?”

Watch (begins at 19:49):

Daniels has not been shy about lobbing insults at those who dare to think differently.  In 2019, he compared Trump supporters to Ku Klux Klan members.

Per USA Today:

The brother of late NFL star turned U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman was arrested after allegedly driving into a California post office, according to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

The San Jose fire and police departments responded to reports of a vehicle on fire in the lobby of the Almaden Valley Station Post Office shortly after 3 a.m. on July 20, the postal inspection service said in a statement to USA TODAY.

“When officers arrived on scene, they discovered a vehicle had been driven into the post office and caught fire causing the entire building to catch on fire,” the San Jose Police Department said in a statement.

Richard Tillman, 44, was taken into custody and booked into the Santa Clara county jail for arson, police said. The motive and circumstances of the crash are still under investigation and police directed further inquiries to the USPS Postal Inspector, the lead investigating agency.

“Postal inspectors are investigating the incident as a potentially intentional act,” the postal inspection service said.
Richard Tillman’s bail was set at $60,000, according to the jail’s inmate booking site. His next court hearing is scheduled for July 23. About 50 personnel responded to the scene of the fire and it was extinguished with no injuries, according to the San Jose Fire Department. San Jose Fire Battalion Chief Josh Staley told NBC News the two-alarm fire damaged the front of the building and most likely burned some mail.

CNN reported Tillman told officers at the scene he livestreamed the crash on a social media platform.

Pat Tillman left the NFL in his prime to join the U.S. Army after the September 11th attacks.

Tillman was killed in combat by friendly fire at the age of 27.

Jeffrey Epstein’s former procurer may be about to provide new life to the dead p*dophile’s sinister activities and share where the bodies are buried.

As CNN reported, the Department of Justice revealed today that they want to set up a meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell as the Trump Administration remains dogged by what many see as a coverup of the truth of what really happened to Epstein and his client list.

The FBI and DOJ previously determined Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list that he used for blackmail. The FBI also determined that Epstein did commit suicide in August 2019.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, he and other prosecutors within the DOJ plan to meet with Maxwell in the coming days.

At the same time, he stood by the joint statement released by the FBI and DOJ on July 6, that stated among other things that there was no Epstein Client List.

Blanche released the following statement, which Bondi posted on her X account:

This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was written. Namely, that in the recent thorough review of the files maintained by the FBI in the Epstein case, no evidence was uncovered that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.

President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.

Therefore, at the direction of Attorney General Bondi, I have communicated with counsel for Ms. Maxwell to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department. I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days. Until now, no administration on behalf of the Department had inquired about her willingness to meet with the government. That changes now.

Statement from @DAGToddBlanche:

This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was…

— Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) July 22, 2025

Maxwell’s attorney David Oscar Markus confirmed to CNN that talks with the DOJ are ongoing.

“I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully, Markus said . “We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Maxwell was ready and willing to testify before the U.S. Congress about the full extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal empire — and the powerful men who participated in it. She has not been offered a plea deal.

In the near future, we could see Maxwell in two places spilling the beans on everything she knows about Epstein, his activities, and the sinister people who used him to prey on underage girls. The powerful might want to start sweating again because this is a woman with nothing to lose.
