Hunter Biden went off on a profanity-laced tirade against the Trump Administration and Democrats during an interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.

Amid ranting about Trump’s immigration policies and slamming James Carville, Hunter Biden revealed his father Joe was drugged up during the 2024 debate.

“He flew around the world. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep, and he gets up on the stage and looks like a deer in the headlights,” Hunter Biden said.

Joe Biden’s White House physician, Dr. O’Connor, never disclosed that Biden was ever prescribed Ambien.

Joe Biden absolutely bombed during the 2024 presidential debate against Trump last June.

Biden crashed and burned during the highly-anticipated presidential debate against Trump after he spent several days holed up at Camp David preparing for the event.

The whole world saw Biden’s cognitive decline in real-time. The Democrat-media complex has gone to great lengths to hide Biden’s feeble state.

That all came to an end as a doped up Joe Biden was unable to make a cogent point and needed Nurse Jill to guide him off stage.

The Justice Department is seeking just one day in jail for the former police officer convicted of shooting Breonna Taylor during a raid in 2020.

Former Louisville Metro Police Department Detective Brett Hankison is scheduled to be sentenced on Monday afternoon after being convicted of deprivation of rights under color of law in November.

Taylor was killed during a knock-and-announce drug raid on March 13, 2020, during which her boyfriend shot at police and they returned fire. LMPD Sgt. Jon Mattingly was shot during the exchange and has now recovered.

During the raid, Hankison fired ten shots through a window, though they are not the ones that struck Taylor. The officers who shot Taylor were not charged because they were returning fire as her boyfriend shot at them.

The Justice Department has argued that Hankison does not need to serve time as he is not a danger to the public.

Taylor’s family has urged the judge to ignore the recommendation and impose a harsher sentence. Lawyers representing the family called it an “insult” that sets a “dangerous precedent.”

“The family asked for one thing: that Brett Hankison be sentenced in accordance with the law and federal guidelines. Instead, Tamika Palmer is left, once again, heartbroken and angry,” attorneys for Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, including Ben Crump, Lonita Baker, and Sam Aguiar, said in a statement, according to a report from NBC News.

“It is unfathomable that, after finally securing a conviction, the Department of Justice would seek a sentence so drastically below the federal guidelines,” the statement continued.

The lawyers added that the recommendation “sends the unmistakable message that white officers can violate the civil rights of Black Americans with near-total impunity.”

Taylor’s death led to riots in the streets during the height of the Black Lives Matter mayhem nationwide.

President Trump’s longtime attorney Peter Ticktin, founder of The Ticktin Law Group, is currently en route — along with two key members of Tina Peters’ federal legal team — to meet with her inside the Colorado facility where she remains incarcerated.

Joining Ticktin for today’s jailhouse strategy session are:

Stefanie Lambert – Constitutional and election law attorney

Bob Cynkar – Former DOJ attorney and federal appellate specialist

The legal team is preparing final arguments ahead of a pivotal federal habeas corpus hearing set for Tuesday, July 22 at 2:00 PM Mountain / 4:00 PM Eastern, before Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.

What’s at Stake in Tuesday’s Hearing
Tuesday’s hearing is not a motion for immediate release — not yet. Instead, the court will hear arguments on whether Tina Peters’ limited petition for a writ of habeas corpus will be allowed to proceed or be dismissed outright.

Attorney Peter Ticktin has characterized this as a fight to “survive extinction” — describing the state’s motion as an attempt to terminate the case before her constitutional claims can ever be heard.

President Trump Demands Tina Peters’ Immediate Release
In a powerful public statement, President Donald J. Trump has called for the immediate release of Tina Peters, condemning her imprisonment as a form of political persecution and cruel, unconstitutional punishment. Trump described Peters as an innocent American patriot and a Gold Star mother, unjustly jailed by the Radical Left to cover up Democrat election crimes.

His full statement, issued via Truth Social, can be seen below:

If the court allows the case to continue, the next hearing will focus on arguments for Peters’ release pending appeal. Ticktin is also expected to formally request the court to expedite that next phase, emphasizing that Tina has already spent far too long behind bars for what her legal team describes as a politically motivated prosecution.

PUBLIC ACCESS: Listen Live to the Hearing
The public will have access to Tuesday’s hearing via live telephonic audio. Supporters, journalists, and concerned citizens are strongly encouraged to dial in and hear the case for themselves.

A Call to Action: Stand With Tina Peters
If you believe no American should be jailed for defending election integrity, now is the time to act.

Tina Peters is being politically persecuted — not for a crime, but for doing her duty to preserve federal election records and speak the truth. Her legal battle is far from over, and she urgently needs support to continue this fight.

“The Cosby Show” star Malcolm-Jamal Warner died as a result of an accidental drowning during a vacation in Costa Rica on Sunday.

He was 54.

“Warner drowned Sunday afternoon at a beach in Cocles de Limón, on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, the country’s Judicial Investigation Department said. He appeared to be pulled out to sea by a current,” CBS News reported.

TMZ reported:

“The Cosby Show” alum Malcolm-Jamal Warner has died at the age of 54, TMZ has learned.

TMZ has an unconfirmed, though reliable source who says Warner has died as a result of an accidental drowning.

As you know, Malcolm‑Jamal Warner straight‑up owned the ’80s as Theodore Huxtable on “The Cosby Show,” snagging an Emmy nod and locking in his spot in TV royalty.

He kept the hustle going with sitcom fav “Malcolm & Eddie,” voiced one of the coolest cartoons — yeah, “The Magic School Bus” — and even flexed his music chops with a Grammy win in 2015.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner played Theo Huxtable on “The Cosby Show” from 1984-1992 and was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1986.

Malcom-Jamal is survived by his wife and daughter.

Tulsi Gabbard just dropped a truth bomb—exposing key players behind the Russia collusion hoax, and once again confirming what we’ve known all along: this was a coordinated political attack on President Trump, orchestrated at the highest levels. Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Clapper, and other Deep State elites weaponized our intelligence community to sabotage an incoming president. And yet—no one has been held accountable.

Grant Stinchfield is furious. There is no statute of limitations for treason, but where is the Republican backbone to pursue real justice? Why won’t our so-called “leaders” in Congress dare to bring charges against the architects of the greatest political scandal in modern U.S. history?

On this episode of Stinchfield, we call out the cowardice, expose the cover-up, and demand real consequences. The American people deserve justice. Anything less is surrender to tyranny.

This isn’t just about the past—it’s about whether our Republic survives the next coup.

It’s official.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell has been criminally referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.

Last week, GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said she would be criminally referring Jerome Powell over the renovation insanity.

Powell is under fire for the cost of renovating the Fed’s DC headquarters. The cost ballooned from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion.

“Powell has asked the central bank’s inspector general to conduct an additional review of the ongoing renovation, CNN previously reported. Last month, some Senate lawmakers grilled Powell over what they depicted as lavish upgrades to its DC headquarters at Powell’s semiannual monetary policy hearing,’ CNN reported.

“The Fed’s renovation project was approved by its board in 2017 and originally cost $1.9 billion in 2019. Construction began in 2021, but the cost swelled to $2.5 billion because of “unforeseen conditions” requiring more spending to rectify, such as “more asbestos than anticipated, toxic contamination in soil, and a higher-than-expected water table,” according to the Fed’s website,” CNN reported.

I am criminally referring Jerome Powell to the DOJ to investigate perjury regarding his crazy $2.5BN building.

— Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) July 17, 2025

On Monday GOP Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna sent a letter to the DOJ accusing Powell of perjury.

“On June 25, 2025, Chairman Powell provided testimony under oath before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs regarding the renovation of the Federal Reserve’s Eccles Building. In his statements, he made several materially false claims,” Luna’s letter said, according to Fox News.

Rep. Luna said Powell was lying about the cost of the renovations.

“Separately, in a letter to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, Chairman Powell characterized the changes that escalated the cost of the project from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion as minor. However, documents reviewed by congressional investigators indicate that the scope and cost overruns of this project were neither minor in nature nor in substance,” Luna wrote.

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers sent letters last week to President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, requesting a formal review of Arizona’s elections practices and systems, including foreign-made components used in tabulating machines. 

This comes after the last three elections in Arizona, where questions still surround the integrity of the results. The Gateway Pundit reported extensively on the issues in 2020, 2022, and 2024, especially surrounding mail-in ballots that lacked chain of custody documentation and signature verification.

Notably, when Kari Lake was running for governor in 2022, 60% of the voting machines failed on election day after the machines were reprogrammed in the days leading up to the election. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of ballots were mishandled and injected into the final count, and potenitally hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballot signatures did not match those of the voter.

In 2024, 2024 Kari Lake supposedly lost to Soros-backed and cartel-tied Ruben Gallego by 80,000 votes, but Trump-aligned and Kari Lake-backed Republican candidates dominated across Arizona in every statewide race except for the Senate.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, it was later discovered that Runbeck Election Services, a shady private entity that provides ballot printing and mail-in ballot services in 31 states and 54% of the nation’s voters, allegedly commingled voted ballots with blank ballots in 2024, drawing further scrutiny to the election results.

NEW: Rep. Abe Hamadeh Fires Off Letter to DOJ Requesting Investigation into Runbeck Election Services’ Breach of Protocols in 2024 Election in Several States – Blank Ballots Mixed with Voted Ballots in Runbeck Warehouse!

The letter to President Trump cites his Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections Executive Order.

The order mandates voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, directs audits and improvements of the security of voting machines, and orders the DOJ to enforce the law against states that count mail-in ballots received after Election Day. It also prioritizes the enforcement of laws that prevent foreign money from influencing elections and prohibit federally funded organizations from lobbying or supporting candidates.

The order also includes a provision that “the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the DOGE Administrator, shall review each State’s publicly available voter registration list and available records concerning voter list maintenance activities as required by 52 U.S.C. 20507, alongside Federal immigration databases and State records requested, including through subpoena where necessary and authorized by law, for consistency with Federal requirements.”

Senator Rogers cites “issues with foreign-sourced election equipment, unverified voter registration, vote tabulation based on encoded data, and widespread disregard for Election Day law,” including the following:

• Encoded vote tabulation: Voting machines currently use ballot scanned images, digital markings, and other encoded vote data to tabulate votes rather than counting the voter-verifiable, human-readable text. This violates the intent of your order, which calls for the tabulation of votes based on what the voter can see— not what a machine interprets.
• Misuse of the term “paper ballot”: Arizona officials continue to claim compliance by using ADA touchscreen-printed machine ballots as “paper ballots,” despite the fact they are not hand-marked and are encoded with digital vote instructions not visible to the voter.
• Foreign components in election systems: Vendors operating in Arizona have acknowledged the use of Chinese-manufactured hardware in voting systems and support devices, raising serious concerns under EO 13873 and Section 6 of EO 14248 related to election infrastructure security.
• Election Day compliance failures: Arizona accepts and counts ballots received after Election Day, in contradiction to 2 U.S.C. § 7 and 3 U.S.C. § 1, and to your policy requiring uniform enforcement of federal law establishing Election Day deadlines.
  Voter roll integrity and citizenship verification: There is insufficient enforcement of proof-of-citizenship requirements and a lack of coordinated list maintenance, contrary to the mandates in Sections 2 and 3 of EO 14248. Arizona still relies on self-attestation without consistently requiring documentary proof of citizenship for Federal elections.
• There is sufficient evidence that the current voter registration database and poll books system utilize an interface with a flawed Arizona Motor Vehicle system, resulting in voter registrations being canceled or altered without knowledge or consent, in violation of 52 U.S. Code § 20507.

Her letter asks for a “formal compliance review of Arizona’s election systems and procedures, with specific attention to the following:”

1. Whether all voting equipment and vote tabulation systems in Arizona comply with the standards in
   EO 14248, including the ban on encoded vote counting.
2. Whether proof-of-citizenship requirements are being enforced during registration and maintained through proper list oversight.
3. Whether ballots are accepted after Election Day and counted in federal elections.
4. Whether Arizona’s current motor vehicle system and electronic poll books is resulting in illegal registrations and voter disenfranchisement.
5. Whether foreign components or software remain embedded in the systems used for voter registration, vote casting, vote tabulation, or reporting.
6. Whether Arizona’s statewide election practices meet the funding eligibility standards established by the Election Assistance Commission in accordance with EO 14248 and the Help America Vote Act.

The letter to Commerce Secretary Lutnick further cites President Trump’s 2019 Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain Executive Order. This order was previously used to declare a national emergency to combat vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure created by using technology that is “designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of foreign adversaries.”

“In public statements and testimony, voting equipment manufacturers themselves have acknowledged the use of components sourced from overseas, including Chinese-made microchips, circuit boards, and networking hardware. The presence of such components in systems responsible for tabulating and transmitting election results poses an unacceptable risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and unauthorized access of our election infrastructure,” Rogers writes.

She asks the Secretary to review and determine whether the following systems “include components, software, or firmware that originate from foreign adversaries or pose an unacceptable threat to the national security of the United States”:

I would like to give a big thank you to Senator @WendyRogersAZ and the AZ Senate Election Committee for taking election security seriously.

Some members of the Democratic establishment are aghast that far-left candidate Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s mayoral primary and are casting about for alternatives, according to a new report.

“He can’t be the future of the party,” one strategist said, according to The Hill. “He’s only going to be fodder for Republicans.”

Grant Reeher, director of Syracuse University’s Campbell Public Affairs Institute, said Mamdani is a walking, talking GOP campaign ad.

“If I put myself in the place of a Republican strategist, I’m wanting [Mamdani] to win,” he said.

“I can imagine the advertisement would be … a list of some of the most extreme things that he has stood for … and I would say, ‘This is what Democrats do when they’re left to their own devices,’” he said.

But if not Mamdani, who?

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s defeat at the hands of Mamdani in the primary has left him appearing vulnerable. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams was already on the outs with many Democrats who viewed his term with dismay. Both are running as independents.

Reeher said that as long as they remain on the ballot, Mamdani cruises to victory.

“You can’t have multiple alternatives,” he said. “I just don’t see any way that Mamdani doesn’t win unless one of these folks drops out.”

“If I was a Democratic strategist for the whole party in New York City, and I commanded authority, I would put Adams and Cuomo in a room, and I would say, ‘You guys are going to flip a coin,’” he said.

Democratic strategist Basil Smikle, a former executive director of the New York State Democratic Party, said both Adams and Cuomo are “for a number of moderate voters, the business community, the real estate community, a firewall against more progressive politics.”

Former Republican Gov. George Pataki said one sign that establishment Democrats want an alternative is shown in the behavior of Gov. Kathy Hochul, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeen Jeffries, according to the New York Post.

“The mainstream media is not asking Jeffries, is not asking Schumer, is not asking Hochul, ‘Are you for Mamdani or not?’ Give us an answer. Don’t hide. They are all hiding,” Pataki said on WABC-AM.

“You can’t really have a party that stands for anything when you have a Marxist running, and the three main leaders in New York of the Democratic Party — Jeffries, Schumer and Hochul — are all hiding in the weeds. Make them come out of the weeds. Are you for [Mamdani] or not?” he said.

“If they endorse Mamdani, they have endorsed an anti-Semite Marxist. If they don’t endorse him, then they’re going to get primaried by all these left-wing radicals,” he said.

Independent mayoral candidate Jim Walden, barely at 1 percent support in the polls, said something — and someone — has to give to stop Mamdani, according to Newsweek.

“My understanding is that a lot of people have buyer’s remorse because the Democrats did a terrible job on opposition research during the primary,” he said, saying that as the general election nears, everyone except the front runner of the independents should drop out.

“We have to put our political ambitions in the backseat for the interests of New Yorkers,” he said.

The Justice Department confirmed it received ODNI Tulsi Gabbard’s criminal referral related to the Russia collusion hoax documents that revealed Barack Obama manufactured intelligence to derail Trump.

Gabbard declassified a December 2016 presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.

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

“We assess that foreign adversaries did not use cyber attacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome this year. We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results,” the report said.

Tulsi called for prosecutions and sent the newly declassified documents to the Justice Department.

“These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate,” Tulsi Gabbard said.

On Monday, the DOJ confirmed it received Tulsi’s criminal referral.

Fox News reported:

The Department of Justice confirmed Monday that it has received Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s criminal referral related to her bombshell claims that Obama-era officials “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, Fox News has confirmed.

The Department of Justice declined further comment, but confirmed to Fox News that the department received the referral.

Gabbard released unclassified documents Friday that reportedly show “overwhelming evidence” that then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong Trump–Russia collusion probe after Trump’s election win against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The post Justice Department Receives Tulsi Gabbard’s Criminal Referral Related to Russia Hoax Documents That Implicates Barack Obama appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

The U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary has released a scathing statement exposing the FBI’s utter failure—if not outright refusal—to properly investigate Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that the newly declassified “Clinton annex”—an appendix to the DOJ Inspector General’s 2018 report—shows that James Comey’s FBI deliberately ignored key evidence, stonewalled Congress, and prioritized politics over national security.

Grassley confirmed that the document, declassified at his request by Trump-appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, reveals how FBI brass—including Comey, McCabe, and disgraced agent Peter Strzok—buried damning evidence, including thumb drives with highly classified information that could’ve blown the lid off the Clinton-Obama cover-up.

WHAT THE FBI COVERED UP:

• Thumb drives containing sensitive data tied to the State Department, Congress, and even President Obama himself were seized… and then ignored.
• An FBI memo recommended further searches, but the bureau leadership squashed the probe.
• Intelligence reports indicated coordination between then-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and operatives from the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations to suppress the investigation.
• The FBI failed to pursue leads that the Obama administration intentionally derailed the Clinton probe to protect her 2016 candidacy.

“I’m making the “Clinton annex” public today so the American people have all the facts. Senator Johnson and I have requested this document’s declassification together since 2020, and President Trump, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and others finally got it done. Thank you for your dedication to transparency,” Grassley wrote.

Read the statement below:

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today is bringing to light the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) findings that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) failed to fully investigate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and mishandling of highly classified information during her time as Secretary of State.

The newly declassified “Clinton annex” is an appendix to the DOJ OIG’s June 2018 report reviewing the DOJ and FBI’s handling of the Clinton investigation.

DOJ, under the leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi, and other agencies declassified and provided the Clinton annex to Grassley at his request.

Grassley has sought information from DOJ and FBI about the document since 2018 and again submitted his request to then-Attorney General Bill Barr in 2019. He, along with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), requested President Donald Trump declassify the document in 2020, and Grassley reiterated the request in 2025.

“This document shows an extreme lack of effort and due diligence in the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s email usage and mishandling of highly classified information,” Grassley said.

“Under Comey’s leadership, the FBI failed to perform fundamental investigative work and left key pieces of evidence on the cutting room floor.

The Comey FBI’s negligent approach and perhaps intentional lack of effort in the Clinton investigation is a stark contrast to its full-throated investigation of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which was based on the uncorroborated and now discredited Steele dossier. Comey’s decision-making process smacks of political infection.”

“I warned years ago that the Clinton investigation failed to hit the mark, and I’m grateful the American people can finally see the facts for themselves,” Grassley continued.

“After nearly a decade in the shadows, this information is now coming to light thanks to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel’s dedicated efforts to fulfill my congressional request. I appreciate their ongoing commitment to transparency and strongly urge them to continue to fully review this matter, including its national security impact.”

The DOJ OIG’s Clinton annex shows the FBI obtained thumb drives from a source during the Clinton investigation, but then-FBI Director James Comey, as well as then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and others, failed to perform additional, targeted searches of the drives, even though they contained information relevant to the inquiry.

The DOJ OIG report illustrates that the FBI failed to thoroughly and completely investigate the Clinton matter as a result, as well as vet the serious national security risks created by Clinton’s careless handling of highly classified information.

According to the DOJ OIG, the thumb drives contained highly sensitive information exfiltrated from U.S. government agencies, including the Department of State, as well as then-President Barack Obama’s emails and, potentially, congressional information.

The thumb drives were never reviewed as part of the Clinton investigation, contrary to the recommendation of a draft FBI memorandum. The DOJ OIG report also shows the drives should have been immediately reviewed for foreign intelligence purposes, but were not.

The FBI also obtained intelligence reports discussing purported communications between Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who was chairwoman of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the time, and two different individuals who worked for the Soros Open Society Foundations.

The intelligence reports alleged that the Obama administration took efforts to scuttle the investigation into Clinton and protect her candidacy. The DOJ OIG Clinton annex shows Comey, McCabe and Strzok, among others, did not make serious investigative efforts to determine the veracity, or lack thereof, regarding the intelligence reports.

On July 5, 2016, Comey exonerated Clinton in a public statement regarding the investigation and recommended DOJ take no legal action to hold her accountable. Grassley’s oversight revealed Comey planned to exonerate Clinton even before interviewing her.

Weeks later, on July 31, 2016, Comey’s FBI formally opened the bogus Crossfire Hurricane investigation into President Trump’s disproven collusion with Russia. On that day, Strzok texted Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer, saying: “And damn this feels momentous. Because this matters. The other one did, too, but that was to ensure we didn’t F something up. This matters because this MATTERS. So super glad to be on this voyage with you.”

Grassley cited Comey’s handling of the Clinton investigation as evidence that Comey lacked the ability to maintain the public’s trust in the FBI, and was therefore rightfully terminated.
