Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle jointly broke their silence regarding rumors over the state of their marriage in an interview.

As The Daily Mail reported, Barack appeared as a guest on his wife’s podcast IMO taped for Wednesday, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson. While on the show, he and Michelle attempted to use humor in a desperate attempt to put a happy face on their relationship.

And Michelle’s brother was more than happy to play along.

“Wait, you guys like each other?” Robinson asked in mock astonishment.

“Oh yeah, that’s from the rumor mill,” Michelle responded as her husband greeted her brother with a low five and hug. “It’s my husband, y’all.”

“She took me back!” Barack cracked. “It was touch and go for a while.”

“Because when we aren’t, people think we’re divorced,” Michelle responded.

Then the former president mentioned something quite hard to believe.

WATCH:

“These are the kind of things that I just miss,” Barack said. “So I don’t even know this stuff’s going on, and then somebody will mention it to me and I’m all like ‘what are you talking about?’”

Michelle then assured their fans that she has always stood by her man, even in the most difficult of times.

“There hasn’t been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man,” Michelle asserted.

“And we’ve had some really hard times,” she continued. “So we had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I’m married to.”

“Ah, don’t make me cry now,” Barack quipped. “Don’t let me start tearing up now!”

Is anyone buying this act from the family?

JUST IN: Shocking Memo Reveals Judge Boasberg, DC Judges Admitted Bias Against Trump Administration at Judicial Conference with Roberts

Posted on by patriotsheart

DC Chief Judge James Boasberg and other DC Judges admitted bias against the Trump Administration during a March 2025 judicial conference with Chief Justice Roberts, according to a memo obtained by The Federalist.

For the last several months DC Circuit Court Judges have engaged in a judicial coup against President Trump.

Far-left DC judges James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Chutkan, Berman Jackson and others have ruled against President Trump in every case related to deportations and firings in the Executive Branch.

Boasberg, an Obama appointee, is one of the worst offenders. Judge Boasberg not only demanded planes deporting illegals turn around midair, he said he found probable cause to hold Trump Admin officials in criminal contempt for defying his court order.

According to The Federalist, Boasberg discussed pending lawsuits and actually named a defendant during the judicial conference.

“Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges’ clear disregard for the presumption of regularity — a presumption that requires a court to presume public officials properly discharged their official duties, The Federalist reported.

“In a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist, a member of the Judicial Conference summarized the March meeting, including a “working breakfast” at which Justice Roberts spoke. According to the memorandum, “District of the District of Columbia Chief Judge James Boasberg next raised his colleagues’ concerns that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis.”” The Federalist reported.

““Chief Justice Roberts expressed hope that would not happen and in turn no constitutional crisis would materialize,” according to the memorandum. The summary of the working breakfast added that Chief Justice Roberts noted that “his interactions with the President have been civil and respectful, such as the President thanking him at the state of the union address for administering the oath.”” the outlet added.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche weighed in on the memo.

“A newly revealed memo confirms that at least some federal judges were predisposed against the Trump administration. This is a serious breach of the judicial oath and a threat to the rule of law. Every litigant, regardless of politics, is entitled to a fair forum,” Todd Blanche said.

DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle also weighed in.

“Very troubling reporting from the Federalist. But perhaps explains the completely lawless order issued by Judge Boasberg (which was unsurprisingly stayed by the DC Circuit),” Chad Mizelle said.

WATCH: Trump Asked About Epstein Files, Says It’s a Hoax – “Stupid Republicans and Foolish Republicans Fall into the Net and Do the Democrats’ Work”

Posted on by patriotsheart

President Trump responded on Wednesday to a question about Epstein after he released a statement, calling the Epstein files a “Hoax” perpetrated by the Democrats. 

“It’s perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net, and so they try and do the Democrats work,” he said.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump said on Truth Social this morning that the Epstein files is the Democrats’ “new SCAM” that his supporters fell for “hook, line, and sinker.”

He further condemned his he condemned his “PAST supporters,” saying, “I don’t want their support anymore!”

BREAKING: Trump Blames Democrats for “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” – “My PAST Supporters have Bought into this ‘Bullsh*t,’ Hook, Line, and Sinker… I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!”

Trump was asked about these comments on Wednesday in the Oval Office.

“Instead of talking about the things we’ve achieved— we’ve had tremendous achievement— they’re wasting their time with a guy who obviously had some very serious problems, who died three, four years ago,” he told reporters.

“The sad part is it’s people that are really doing the Democrats’ work.”

WATCH:

Reporter: Mr. President, I know you want to move past all of this intrigue with the Epstein files, but I do want to ask you to clarify something you said this morning. You said this was all a hoax. Has your Attorney General told you this is a hoax?

Trump: It’s a big hoax. No, it’s not the attorney general. No, I know it’s a hoax. It’s started by Democrats. It’s been run by the Democrats for four years. You had Christopher Wray and these characters and Comey before him, and it’s a bad group. It started, actually, look at the Steele dossier that turned out to be a total hoax, the 51 agents, the intelligence, so-called intelligence agents, it was a hoax. It’s all been a big hoax. It’s perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net, and so they try and do the Democrats work.

The Democrats are good for nothing other than these hoaxes. They’re bad for policy. They’re bad for picking candidates that can get elected, like in New York, we have a communist running. He may get elected too, actually, but he’s going to, he’ll destroy the city. No, no, it’s, I call it the Epstein Hoax. Takes a lot of time and effort, and instead of talking about the great achievements we’ve had— a great gentleman, yesterday, as you know, went on CNBC, and he made the statement that Trump may go down as the greatest president of all in the United States.

And instead of talking about the things we’ve achieved— we’ve had tremendous achievement— they’re wasting their time with a guy who obviously had some very serious problems, who died three, four years ago. I’d rather talk about the success we have with the economy, the best we’ve ever had, and all of the things we’ve done, including the Middle East. I mean, you see it. Instead, they want to talk about the Epstein Hoax. And the sad part is it’s people that are really doing the Democrats’ work. They’re stupid people.

Reps. Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene Introduce Discharge Petition to Force Vote on Releasing Full Epstein Files

Posted on by patriotsheart

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) have co-sponsored a discharge petition to bypass House leadership and compel a full vote on releasing the complete Jeffrey Epstein files.

The proposed resolution — which Massie submitted alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) — is titled the “Epstein Files Transparency Act” and would require the Department of Justice to declassify and release all Epstein-related documents, including investigative records, communications, flight logs, visitor lists, sealed agreements, and any information involving known or suspected co-conspirators.

“We all deserve to know what’s in the Epstein files, who’s implicated, and how deep this corruption goes. Americans were promised justice and transparency,” Rep. Massie wrote on X.

“We’re introducing a discharge petition to force a vote in the US House of Representatives on releasing the COMPLETE files.”

Massie emphasized the urgency and importance of this procedural tool.

“A discharge petition is a procedural tool for bypassing leadership. In 7 days we can start collecting signatures. At 218 signatures, the House must vote on our bill requiring a full release of the Epstein files. If your Representative won’t sign the discharge petition, ask why.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her full support: “I am proudly cosponsoring and will sign the discharge petition,” she wrote. “I will never protect pedophiles or the elites and their circles.”

The bill mandates that the Attorney General publish Epstein-related records in a searchable and downloadable format within 30 days, including:

  • All DOJ, FBI, and U.S. Attorney Office communications relating to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
  • Flight logs, surveillance footage, photos, videos, emails, calendars
  • Settlement agreements and grand jury transcripts
  • Records of any Epstein-related death or detention investigations

Now the question is: Will your representative sign it? Or will they protect the powerful once again?

BREAKING: Jill Biden’s ‘Work Husband’ Pleads the Fifth, Refuses to Answer a SINGLE QUESTION on Joe Biden’s Health Decline – Comer Fumes

Posted on by patriotsheart

Jill Biden’s ‘work husband’ Anthony Bernal pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer a single question on Joe Biden’s health decline on Wednesday.

Last month Anthony Bernal defied congress and bailed on his testimony on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline so House Oversight Chairman Comer promptly issued a subpoena to compel testimony.

Anthony Bernal subpoena

Bernal did not answer any questions before heading into his deposition.

On Wednesday Chairman James Comer fumed after Anthony Bernal invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during his congressional deposition.

“This week new reporting confirms President Biden’s aides took unauthorized executive actions during his presidency amid his cognitive decline. It’s no surprise that Anthony Bernal is pleading the Fifth Amendment to shield himself from criminal liability. During his deposition today, Mr. Bernal pleaded the Fifth when asked if any unelected official or family members executed the duties of the President and if Joe Biden ever instructed him to lie about his health. This is a historic scandal and Americans demand transparency and accountability. We will continue to pursue the truth on their behalf and examine options to get the answers we need,” Comer said.

GOP Congressman Byron Donalds went off on Anthony Bernal in remarks to reporters.

Byron Donalds: He couldn’t answer A SINGLE QUESTION

  • He refused to read his own statement
  • This is corruption at the highest-level
  • Joe was not in charge of his own admin
  • Every order, bill, & memo is NULL & VOID
  • The Democrats can’t hide from this
  • We must subpoena ALL BIDEN STAFF
  • @DrBiden must be called to testify
  • @KamalaHarris must be called to testify

WATCH:

Anthony Bernal was Jill Biden’s ‘work husband’ and wielded tremendous power.

Project Veritas recently released undercover video of DNC Vice Chair David Hogg admitting Anthony Bernal, was running the Biden White House.

“How corrupt is the DNC if so many knew or few people knew about Biden?” a Project Veritas undercover reporter asked Hogg.

Hogg replied, “The bigger issue was like the inner circle that was around Biden… like Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff [Anthony Bernal] had an enormous amount of power.”

Deterrian Jones, former White House Office of Digital Strategy chimed in, “That was an open secret. I would avoid him. He was scary.”

Hunter Biden Blames Kamala Harris’s Defeat on Democrats’ Disloyalty to His Father

Posted on by patriotsheart

Hunter Biden / CBS

Hunter Biden has blamed Kamala Harris’s defeat in the 2024 election on the Democratic Party’s supposed disloyalty to his father.

The younger Biden made the remarks during an interview he gave to former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison on his podcast At Our Table. 

He explained:

You know what, we are going to fight amongst ourselves for the next three years until there’s a nominee. And then with the nominee, we better as hell get behind that nominee.

And I will tell you why we lost the last election. We lost the election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party. That’s my position.

We had the advantage of incumbency. We had advantage of an incredibly successful administration and the Democratic Party literally melted down.

His comments reinforce the view of the Biden family that the former president was somehow betrayed by the Democratic establishment.

Around this time last year, Democratic bigwigs including Obama and Nancy Pelosi successfully ousted Biden from the presidential ticket and replaced him with Kamala Harris following his disastrous debate performance.

Obama himself slammed the party at a recent fundraiser for their alleged weakness in pushing back against Trump:

I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up.

You know, don’t tell me you’re a Democrat, but you’re kind of disappointed right now, so you’re not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something.

Don’t say that you care deeply about free speech and then you’re quiet. No, you stand up for free speech when it’s hard.

When somebody says something that you don’t like, but you still say, ‘You know what, that person has the right to speak.’ … What’s needed now is courage.

Hunter, meanwhile, recently admitted that he was millions of dollars in debt and too broke to continue a defamation lawsuit against former Trump aide Garrett Ziegler.

In a letter to Ziegler’s lawyers, Hunter’s attorney acknowledged that his client “lacks the resources to continue this litigation at this time.”

They added that his financial woes had been “exacerbated after the fires in the Pacific Palisades in early January upended Plaintiff’s life by rendering his rental house unlivable for an extended period of time.”

BREAKING REPORT: President Trump Drafted Letter to Fire Jerome Powell… But Trump Says ‘Highly Unlikely’ He will Fire Fed Chair

Posted on by patriotsheart

It was reported on Wednesday that President Trump drafted a letter to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

On Tuesday evening, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said Powell’s firing was imminent.

President Trump has been calling on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to resign.

“”Too Late” should resign immediately!!!” Trump said on Truth Social last week.

As previously reported, Jerome Powell last Tuesday took a shot at President Trump and said the Fed would have likely lowered interest rates if not for Trump’s tariffs.

President Trump inherited high inflation, a stalled economy and high unemployment from Joe Biden and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is refusing to slash interest rates.

The Fed can stimulate the economy and the real estate market by lowering interest rates, however, Chairman Jerome Powell has left interest rates unchanged since Trump was sworn into office this year.

President Trump on Wednesday said it is ‘highly unlikely’ he will fire the Fed Chair.

Germany’s globalist authoritarian police commissioner demands ban of conservative cops in brazen anti-AfD crackdown

Posted on by patriotsheart

In Germany, the Bundestag’s police commissioner, Uli Grötsch, is pushing hard to boot out all members of the conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) party from the police force.

As a member of the left-leaning Social Democratic Party (SPD), Grötsch holds a position designed to oversee police misconduct, but now he’s using his position to target supporters of the AfD to disqualify them from serving in law enforcement.

Speaking to the Rheinische Post, he expatiated that “AfD membership and work as a police officer are not compatible,” pointing to the party’s label as “right-wing extremist” by Germany’s intelligence agency, the BfV.

For Grötsch, any clear involvement, like campaigning for the AfD, seeking local office, or even running for parliament, should lead straight to dismissal from the force.

His extreme stance puts him at odds with more reasonable figures in the government, including those in the ruling coalition who reject broad-strokes removals.

Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt from the Christian Social Union (CSU) stressed that loyalty to the constitution must be evaluated individually, not through sweeping bans, as reported by Junge Freiheit.

This isn’t Grötsch’s first rodeo in going after AfD supporters in uniform; back in March 2024, he flagged any backing of the party as a major red flag.

He called the AfD increasingly extreme, despite the AfD purging extremists in their ranks, and warned that infiltration by those opposing democratic values could wreck the police and courts.

Now, he’s ramping up the heat, expanding his warnings in a chat with Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland. Grötsch argued that even basic membership or other forms of support for the AfD by police staff pose serious risks, leaving the door open to punishing simple acts like donating or showing sympathy.

A leaked internal directive from January 2025, first exposed by Junge Freiheit, showed plans to target AfD-linked officers for ousting. Signed by ex-Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, another SPD figure, the memo labeled active AfD participation as cause for discipline.

The federal police employs about 54,000 people, with 45,000 sworn officers, but no one knows how many align with the AfD.

An intranet post from the force noted that known AfD ties could spark investigations into misconduct, especially for those actively engaged, providing grounds for suspicion.

The AfD champions tough law-and-order policies, emphasizing secure borders, national pride, and public safety. These are ssues that naturally appeal to many in law enforcement facing real-world challenges.

The AfD vows to pursue legal action, as it continues to face mounting lawfare across Germany attempting to force their members out of civil service roles.

This crackdown smells like a leftist power grab, aiming to silence dissent and purge opponents under the guise of protecting democracy, echoing tactics that threaten free expression everywhere.
