Autopen Investigation Reveals Biden’s Slow Decision-Making in Final Months

By Kaelan Deese | The Gazette Former President Joe Biden’s ex-chief of staff Jeff Zients delivered the most revealing testimony to date in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the alleged misuse of the autopen and internal efforts to conceal the then-president’s cognitive decline, according to a source familiar with the matter. Zients, who appeared for a closed-door transcribed interview on Thursday, confirmed for the first time that Biden’s “decision-making slowed” during the final stretch of his presidency. He said meetings that once required three sessions began to require a fourth, and acknowledged that Biden’s speech stumbles and memory lapses worsened with age — including during his time in office. The testimony, described by ...

Trump Raises $1.5 Billion Since White House Return

By Simon Kent | Breitbart President Donald Trump is a winner and the public knows it. Witness the $1.5 billion he has raised since being returned to the White House, hitting a milestone in contributions as leaderless Democrats flail and founder in his wake. Trump confirmed his financial windfall, driven by the runaway 2024 electoral triumph, by taking to social media. “I am pleased to report that I have raised, since the Great Presidential Election of 2024, in various forms and political entities, in excess of 1.5 Billion Dollars. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” he wrote early Wednesday on Truth Social. The Hill reports the main super PAC affiliated with Trump, MAGA Inc., reported nearly $200 million in the bank this month, as it looks to the 2026 mid...

President Trump pulls off three major moves while media chases its tail

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker One of President Donald Trump’s biggest political strengths is his unpredictability. He refuses to follow the rules of the Washington establishment, and in doing so, he keeps both his domestic opponents and foreign adversaries constantly off balance. While most presidents telegraph their intentions months in advance, Trump often operates behind the scenes, distracting the media with comments that trigger hours of frenzied speculation on cable news panels. He has joked about buying Greenland, pondered serving a third term, and thrown barbs at world leaders, not as random outbursts, but as part of a deliberate strategy to shape and steer the political narrative. Remember the so-called “rocket man” exchange with North Korea’s Ki...

After decades of clashes, Trump secures Armenia–Azerbaijan peace deal

By Zach Jewell | Daily Wire "… today's great achievement is yet another testimony to your global leadership and your legacy as a statesman and a peacemaker on the world stage." President Donald Trump oversaw the signing of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan on Friday, securing a deal that was unsuccessfully sought by the European Union, Russia, and the Biden administration. Trump met with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev privately in the Oval Office before they all appeared for a press conference and signed the peace declaration. “The countries of Armenia and Azerbaijan are committing to stop all fighting forever, open up commerce, travel, and diplomatic relations and respect each other’s sovereignty and territori...

B-2 bombers move as Trump returns to D.C.: signs of serious Iran strategy?

By Lucas Y. Tomlinson , Rachel Wolf | Fox News America's unique bunker-buster bombs could target Iran's heavily fortified nuclear facility Six B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri appear to be en route to a U.S. Air Force base in Guam, according to flight tracking data and voice communications with air traffic control.  The bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs. The B-2 can carry two 15-ton bunker-buster bombs—which only the U.S. possesses. Experts say the bombs could be critical to targeting Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear site: Fordow. Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies,...

OMB Director Russell Vought: If Trump’s bill fails, expect recession and 60% tax increase

By Diana Stancy | Fox News OMB Director Russell Vought has cautioned about a recession if Trump's tax and spending package isn't passed The White House is challenging the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s assessment that President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending package will raise the federal deficit by trillions of dollars throughout the next decade. The national debt, currently $36.2 trillion, tracks what the U.S. owes its creditors, while the national deficit measures how much the federal government’s spending exceeds its revenues. So far, the federal government has spent more than $1 trillion more than it has collected this fiscal year, according to the Department of the Treasury.  The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued an analysis...

White House replaces Surgeon General nomination

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell  | Daily Signal The Trump administration pulled the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat to be surgeon general following reports that she inflated her credentials, Bloomberg reported.

Kennedy, Jr., to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans.” Means attended Stanford Medical School, then she pursued a surgical residency at Oregon Health & Science University. Before completing the program, she dropped out to start her own functional medicine practice and founded the...

Pete Hegseth, White House SLAM legacy media for ‘peddling lies’ after reports on second Signal chat

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hit back at reporting released on Sunday that claimed he discussed detailed information about forthcoming strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in a second Signal chat. The report from the New York Times cited four anonymous people with knowledge of the chat. "What a big surprise that a bunch of, a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out from the same media that peddled the Russia hoax," Hegseth told reporters when asked to respond to the "Signal chat controversy" while attending the White House Easter Egg Roll. "They got Pulitzers for a bunch of lies." "As they peddle those lies, no one ever calls them on it. See, this is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disg...

Executive order calls for sweeping review of federal gun regulations in ‘protecting 2A rights’

By Benjamin S. Weiss  | Courthouse News President Donald Trump on Friday issued an executive order demanding a whole-of-government review of federal firearms regulations, a move which appeared aimed at papering over gun safety policies inked by the Joe Biden administration. But the Trump White House’s decree went further than simply undoing Biden’s legacy — its broad mandate invites the possibility of an even more expansive relaxation of federal gun rules. The executive order, issued Friday evening and entitled “Protecting Second Amendment Rights,” directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to examine a cornucopia of federal orders, regulations, guidance and international agreements to determine whether there are any “ongoing infringements” of constitutional gun rights.
