Trump White House Thinks ‘Madman’ Netanyahu Is Out of Control: Report.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Reports suggest the Trump White House is frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following recent Israeli attacks on Syria and Gaza’s only Catholic church.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and White House officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Following recent Israeli airstrikes, including the bombing of a Catholic church in Gaza on Thursday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time,” a White House official told Axios.

🎯IMPACT: The incidents have reportedly caused tensions between the Trump administration and the Israeli government.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump’s administration is concerned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent strikes on Syrian government targets and Gaza’s only Catholic church are reckless, with some officials describing him as acting “like a madman.”

White House sources reportedly told Axios that Netanyahu’s actions are hindering Trump’s attempts to foster peace in the region. “Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time,” an unnamed White House official remarked. Another official added, “Netanyahu is sometimes like a child who just won’t behave.”

The situation intensified following Israel’s bombing of the sole Catholic Church in Gaza on Thursday. In response, Trump reportedly held a heated phone call to Netanyahu, insisting on a public acknowledgment that the attack was an error, which Israel subsequently provided.

Despite the growing frustration among White House staff, Trump has in recent months openly supported Netanyahu, and criticized the corruption prosecution he faces in the Israeli courts. On June 25, Trump said he was “shocked to hear that the State of Israel, which has just had one of its Greatest Moments in History, and is strongly led by Bibi Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their Great War Time Prime Minister!”

Nevertheless, some U.S. officials find the situation increasingly unsustainable. One official told Axios, “The feeling is that every day there is something new. What the f***?”

Trump publicly expressed frustration with the Israeli government towards the end of its 12-day war with Iran, despite having sent American forces to assist Israeli strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. “I’m not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, OK, now you have 12 hours, you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them,” he said, after the Israelis launched massive strikes on Iran after a ceasefire had been agreed but before it came into effect.

The America First leader later demanded the cancellation of post-ceasefire Israeli strikes on Iran in response to an alleged violation by Iran, writing on his Truth Social platform, “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!”

Fed Chairman Powell Gets Criminal Referral for Perjury.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) referred Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for a criminal investigation over “materially false” claims made to Congress.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Anna Paulina Luna, Jerome Powell, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The referral was announced on Monday, following Powell’s June 25 testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Chairman Powell knowingly misled both Congress and executive branch officials about the true nature of a taxpayer-funded project. Lying under oath is a serious offense—especially from someone tasked with overseeing our monetary system and public trust.” – Anna Paulina Luna

🎯IMPACT: The referral raises questions about Powell’s integrity, and could lay the groundwork for the Federal Reserve chairman’s removal from his position “with cause.”

IN FULL

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is the subject of a criminal referral filed with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL). The Florida Republican alleges Powell made “materially false” claims and appeared to have committed perjury during his June 25 testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs regarding renovations to the Federal Reserve’s headquarters.

“I have formally referred Jerome Powell to the DOJ for criminal investigation,” Rep. Luna posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Chairman Powell knowingly misled both Congress and executive branch officials about the true nature of a taxpayer-funded project. Lying under oath is a serious offense—especially from someone tasked with overseeing our monetary system and public trust.”

Luna alleges that Powell lied when he denied reports about luxurious upgrades to the Fed’s headquarters, including roof terrace gardens, premium marble finishes, and modernized elevators. According to Luna, these denials were inconsistent with project plans submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission. “The revised plan includes a VIP private dining room, premium marble finishes, modernized elevators, water features, and a roof terrace garden—features that Powell publicly denied existed,” she wrote.

Luna also criticized Powell for a letter he wrote to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought regarding the construction and its cost increase from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion. Vought, who has scrutinized Powell over the renovations, compared it to France’s Palace of Versailles, a byword for extravagance and excess.

Luna’s letter stated, “The discrepancies between Chairman Powell’s sworn testimony and the factual record call for a thorough and impartial review by your office. The integrity of oversight and the trust placed in public officials, particularly those responsible for monetary policy and stewardship of taxpayer resources, demand accountability at the highest levels.”

In recent weeks, Powell has faced growing criticism from Republicans, with President Donald J. Trump urging him to resign before his term as chairman expires in May 2026. Trump has repeatedly called for interest rate cuts, clashing with Powell’s continued hesitation toward slashing borrowing costs.

World Economic Forum Doctored Data to Make Brexit Look Bad.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) has been accused of manipulating research to portray Brexit negatively.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: WEF chief Klaus Schwab, WEF staff, and whistleblowers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Allegations surfaced in July 2025; incidents relate to a 2017/2018 economic report.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true.” – Brexit champion Nigel Farage

🎯IMPACT: Alleged anti-democratic practices at the WEF have been exposed, raising serious questions about its integrity.

IN FULL

The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) has come under scrutiny following allegations that its leader, Klaus Schwab, manipulated research data to undermine Brexit. Whistleblowers say that Schwab personally intervened in the organization’s Global Competitiveness Report to prevent the United Kingdom from appearing successful post-Brexit.

In 2017, Britain’s ranking in the report was altered from an improvement to a decline, allegedly at Schwab’s direction. He told staffers Britain “must not see any improvement” in its economic position as this would be “exploited by the Brexit camp”—by proving that Brexit supporters were right to argue that voting to Leave the European Union (EU) in 206 would not result in economic disaster.

An internal investigation by the WEF, prompted by a whistleblower, also looked into Schwab’s conduct, including misusing funds and improper interactions with staff. The organization hosts the Davos summit in Davos, Switzerland, every year, bringing together politicians, plutocrats, and nonprofits to push post-national, globalist ideology.

Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s rising Reform Party and Brexit’s leading proponent, responded to the revelations by saying, “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true.”

Lord David Frost, one of the negotiators for the British government following the Brexit vote, said it was “rare we get such clear direct evidence of the global establishment’s hostility to Brexit,” adding: “Schwab’s alleged deliberate downgrading of Brexit Britain in his Global Competitiveness Report, directly contrary to the actual evidence, shows how deeply embedded distrust of national independence is, and how determined so many people are to suppress any discussion of its benefits.”

WATCH: Hunter Biden Demands El Salvador Invasion BRING BACK Illegals.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Hunter Biden unleashed a series of profanity-laced rants defending his father’s presidency during an erratic interview with the YouTube-based digital talk show, Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Hunter Biden and Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The over three-hour-long interview was posted on YouTube on July 21, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “How are we getting those people back from El Salvador? Because I’ll tell you what, if I became President two years from now, or four years from now, or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the fucking president of El Salvador and say, ‘You either fucking send them back or I’m going to fucking invade.’ It’s a fucking crime, what they’re doing. He’s a fucking dictator, thug.” — Hunter Biden

🎯IMPACT: The remarks by Hunter Biden come on the one-year anniversary of his father’s exit from the 2024 presidential race.

IN FULL

Former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, unleashed a series of angry and profanity-laced rants targeting those who oppose illegal immigration, along with George Clooney, former President Barack Obama, and Democratic Party operatives like Anita Dunn, David Axelrod, and James Carville, for forcing his father out of the 2024 presidential race. The former President’s son appeared overly animated and erratic while leveling the allegations during an interview with the YouTube-based digital talk show, Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.

“And he’s somehow convinced all of us that these [migrants] are the fucking criminals?” Hunter Biden, referring to President Donald J. Trump, exclaims during one segment before continuing: “White Men in America are 45 more times likely to commit a fucking violent crime than an immigrant. And the media says, well, you’ve got David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel—so fucking smart Rahm Emanuel—’We’ve got to understand that these people are really mad. And we’ve got to appeal to these white voters.’ Rahm, the only people that fucking appealed to those fucking white voters was Joe Biden at 81 years old. And he got 81 million votes, and he did, not because he appeased their fucking Trumpian  sense, but because he challenged it.”

“But these guys think that we need to run away from all values in order for us to lead. I say, fuck you,” Hunter rants, adding: “How are we getting those people back from El Salvador? Because I’ll tell you what, if I became President two years from now, or four years from now, or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the fucking president of El Salvador and say, ‘You either fucking send them back or I’m going to fucking invade.’ It’s a fucking crime, what they’re doing. He’s a fucking dictator, thug.” Biden goes on to clarify that he was referring to both U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.

Bukele shared a clip of Hunter’s outburst on social media, asking if he was “sniffing powered milk”—likely in reference to the 55-year-old’s history of drug abuse.

In another segment, Hunter Biden angrily lashes out at his father’s detractors in the Democratic Party, blaming them for the Biden campaign’s abortive 2024 re-election bid. “Fuck him and everybody around him… George Clooney is not a fucking actor. He’s a brand,” Hunter Biden states, having reserved special ire for the Hollywood actor whose post-June 2024 debate op-ed trashing his father marked the beginning of the end for the re-election campaign.

Hunter continues, lashing out at a number of powerful Democrat campaign figures who became critical of Joe Biden’s decision to run for a second term. “James Carville hasn’t won a race in 40 fucking years,” Hunter Biden rages, adding: “David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama… The Pod Save America guys were junior fucking speech writers on Barack Obama’s Senate staff who have been dining out on the relationship with him, making millions… Anita Dunn has made $40-$50 million off the Democratic Party.”

Here’s What the Latest Polling Data Says About Trump, Epstein, and the Mid Terms.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A new, reliable, non-leftist poll indicates 71 percent of likely Republican voters feel “let down” by Trump’s handling of the Epstein files.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Likely Republican voters surveyed by the Democracy Institute and Daily Express US.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Conducted July 16–17, polling 1,300 likely Republican voters.

🎯IMPACT: Despite dissatisfaction, 87 percent would still vote Republican if Trump doesn’t release the files.

IN FULL

New polling data conducted by the reliable and right-leaning Democracy Institute in collaboration with the Daily Express US reveals that 71 percent of likely Republican voters feel disappointed by Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The survey, which took place on July 16–17, involved 1,300 likely Republican voters and has a margin of error of ±3 percent.

Despite the significant dissatisfaction, 87 percent of respondents indicated they would still vote Republican even if Trump chooses not to release the Epstein-related documents. A small percentage, three percent, said they would vote Democrat, four percent would opt for a third-party candidate, and six percent expressed they would abstain from voting.

The survey also highlights that 67 percent of participants believe Trump’s stance on the Epstein files could potentially weaken the Republican Party. Conversely, 20 percent disagreed with this sentiment, and 13 percent said they were uncertain.

Moreover, the poll finds that 77 percent of Republican voters think Trump was wrong to criticize MAGA supporters who have voiced frustration over the non-release of the files. Seventeen percent supported Trump’s criticism, while six percent were unsure.

The poll used interactive voice response technology on landlines and cell phones. It was weighted by gender, age, education, income, region, voting history, and party identification.

The full results are available here.

Bannon Sets Date for Exclusive Epstein Footage Release.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: WarRoom host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon is facing calls from Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, to release footage of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein for an unreleased documentary. However, Bannon has already committed to releasing the footage from his unfinished project, The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Stephen K. Bannon, deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, and Epstein’s brother Mark.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The footage was recorded in 2018, with Bannon committing to its release early next year in July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We’re gonna release the film, the five-part series, next year, early next year.” – Stephen K. Bannon

🎯IMPACT: Bannon says The Monsters is about “how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably linked.”

IN FULL

In 2021, the New York Post released a trailer for a documentary about deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, produced by WarRoom host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon. The footage, which reportedly includes over 15 hours of interviews, has not been released, with Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, publicly calling on Bannon to release the tapes of Friday, demanding, “Let me see the videotapes. He’s my brother.” However, Bannon has already committed to releasing the footage.

“We’re gonna release the film, the five-part series, next year, early next year,” Bannon said earlier this month. “And by the way, the entire thing is how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably linked… You’re gonna have to name names and you’re gonna have to understand how the elites in the world, but also the intelligence services, are inextricably linked in Epstein’s story,” he reiterated,” adding: “That’s the key.”

The unfinished documentary, tentatively titled The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite, was intended to expose how powerful global actors and institutions supported Epstein’s actions. It has long been suspected that Epstein collected blackmail on the people he trafficked minors to, possibly on behalf of a foreign intelligence service such as the Mossad.

Notably, Mark Epstein has expressed doubts about the official explanation of his brother’s death, which was ruled a suicide in 2019. “More and more, I believe he was murdered,” he said last week, adding that anyone who examines the facts would reach the same conclusion.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under President Donald J. Trump recently said that they believe Epstein died by suicide, releasing footage from a surveillance camera near his cell said to prove no one entered the area where he was detained around the time of his death. However, it was later determined that the “raw” footage had actually been edited, with several minutes missing from it.

Bannon has been one of the key figures in MAGA pushing for greater transparency since the DOJ attempted to effectively close the Epstein case, urging President Donald J. Trump to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate it.

Trump Tells Washington Commanders to Bring Back ‘Redskins’ Name or Face Losing Stadium Deal.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump has threatened to block a stadium deal for the Washington Commanders unless the team reverts to its original name, the Redskins.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald Trump, the Washington Commanders, the NFL, and Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Guardians.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump’s comments were posted on Truth Social on Sunday, referencing a proposed new stadium at the RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original Washington Redskins and get rid of the ridiculous moniker Washington Commanders I won’t make a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington.” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: Trump’s comments have reignited debate over team name changes and their cultural significance, while also pressuring local officials on the stadium project.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has threatened to block the Washington Commanders’ proposed new stadium unless the team reverts to its former name, the Redskins. In a post shared on July 20 on Truth Social, Trump said there’s a “big clamouring” for the name to change back, calling the current title “ridiculous.”

“I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington,” Trump wrote. “The team would be much more valuable and the deal would be more exciting for everyone.”

The NFL franchise abandoned the Redskins name in July 2020 after years of left-wing heckling that it was offensive to Native Americans. The team temporarily went by the Washington Football Team before officially rebranding as the Commanders in 2022.

In April, a deal was struck to build a new 65,000-seat stadium on the site of the old RFK Stadium, which served as the team’s home from 1961 to 1997.

Trump also referenced the Cleveland Guardians in his Truth Social post, encouraging Major League Baseball’s team to return to its former name, the Cleveland Indians, which was retired in 2021. “Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen,” he wrote. “Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them.”

When asked about Trump’s comments, Guardians president Chris Antonetti said: “Not something I’m tracking or paying a lot of attention to. But I would say generally, I understand there are very different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago. It’s a decision we made and we’ve gotten the opportunity to build the brand as the Guardians over the last four years, and we’re excited about the future.”

Earlier this year, Trump made headlines when he became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. He was present at the February matchup, where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40–22.

Mace Pushes Bill to End Taxpayer Funding of Fauci’s ‘Transgender Animal Experiments.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced legislation to prohibit federal taxpayer funding for transgender animal research.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Rep. Mace and cosponsors Reps. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Brandon Gill (R-TX), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO); White Coat Waste Project, and Anthony Fauci.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The TRANS MICE Act (HR 4512) was introduced in Congress in July.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This legislation brings accountability, ends taxpayer-funded cruelty, and ensures science serves the public, not ideology.” – Nancy Mace

🎯IMPACT: The bill seeks to end taxpayer funding for experiments altering animals’ biological sex and stop advancing political agendas through research.

IN FULL

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has proposed a bill to ban federal taxpayer funding for transgender animal research. This spring, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) paused such studies on mice, which had previously been examined during a House Oversight Committee hearing on animal cruelty. The research was authorized under former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAD) Director Anthony Fauci.

The legislation, named the Transgender Research on Animals Now Stops and Money for Ideological Cruelty Eliminated Act (TRANS MICE Act), would bar federal funds from being used to “conduct, support, or fund (directly or indirectly)” research that alters an animal’s biological sex.

The measure focuses on research involving drugs, hormones, surgery, or other methods that modify an animal’s body to no longer align with its biological sex. Exemptions apply to animals that naturally change sex during their life cycle or have both male and female reproductive organs. Representatives Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Brandon Gill (R-TX), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) cosponsored the bill.

“Americans are rightfully tired of seeing their tax dollars spent on wasteful experiments disguised as research while advancing a political agenda,” Mace said in a statement. “This legislation brings accountability, ends taxpayer-funded cruelty, and ensures science serves the public, not ideology.”

Anthony Belloti, president and founder of White Coat Waste Project, highlighted the group’s investigations and advocacy for exposing and opposing taxpayer-funded transgender animal experiments. He noted that grants from agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) have supported similar studies, underscoring the need for the TRANS MICE Act. “Trump’s historic cuts have already saved thousands of animals and millions of taxpayer dollars,” Belloti added.

Second Illegal Immigrant Arrested for Shooting Border Agent.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The second suspect in an attempted robbery of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer has been taken into custody.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: A CBP officer, two male suspects, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Late Saturday night at Fort Washington Park in Manhattan, New York.

💬KEY QUOTE: “There’s absolutely zero reason that someone who is scum of the earth like this should be running loose on the streets of New York City.” — DHS Sec. Noem

🎯IMPACT: Both suspects have been apprehended and have been identified as Dominican nationals who illegally entered the U.S. and have extensive criminal records.

IN FULL

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Monday that the second suspect involved in the shooting of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer has been detained. The officer was attacked late Saturday night at Fort Washington Park in Manhattan by two men on a moped in what appeared to be an attempted robbery.

The incident, which occurred at approximately 11:50 PM, resulted in an exchange of gunfire. The off-duty CBP officer was shot in the face but managed to return fire, hitting one of the suspects. New York Police Department (NYPD) radio traffic indicated the officer was shot in the mouth during the altercation.

During a press conference on Monday, Noem stated, “Fortunately for us today, our officer survived. He survived. He’s going through a very difficult time, and I would ask that you respect him and his family and his friend who was with him and what they have gone through.” She added, “We were able to bring the second individual in and have detained him as well, and he will face consequences and hopefully strong prosecution for his crimes and his involvement on Saturday night.”

Authorities identified the suspect as Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, a Dominican national who re-entered the United States illegally in April 2023 and was released under the Biden government despite an active deportation order. CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott confirmed that the second suspect had also been apprehended and released at the U.S. border prior to the attack.

“There’s absolutely zero reason that someone who is scum of the earth like this should be running loose on the streets of New York City,” Noem told reporters. She criticized sanctuary city policies, particularly those under Mayor Eric Adams, elected as a Democrat, for enabling such criminals, adding: “He was arrested four different times in New York City, and because of the mayor’s policies and sanctuary city policies, was released back to do harm to people.”

White House Border Czar Tom Homan added, “Sanctuary cities are sanctuaries for criminals. President Trump is not going to tolerate it.”

Meanwhile, New York City’s Democratic Party mayoral candidate and self-described socialist Zohran Mamdani has remained silent on the shooting. Mamdani, who has previously called to defund the police and abolish prisons and opposes working with President Donald J. Trump to deport illegal immigrants, is currently in his birth country, Uganda, “in a personal capacity” to celebrate his marriage.

The “Twelver” Muslim stated he would return to New York City “by the end of the month.”

Trump Shares AI-Generated Video of Obama Being Arrested.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump shared an AI-generated video depicting former President Barack Hussein Obama being arrested in front of him at the White House, following revelations from Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard regarding Obama’s involvement in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, former President Obama, DNI Gabbard.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The video was shared on Truth Social over the weekend.

💬KEY QUOTE: “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

🎯IMPACT: The video and revelations have sparked significant debate, with Trump supporters praising the disclosures and calling for arrests.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social that shows former President Barack Obama being arrested, handcuffed, and taken to prison over the weekend. The clip follows recent accusations from Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic presidential candidate and the current Director of National Intelligence (DNI), who has publicly accused Obama of orchestrating a high-level effort to undermine Trump’s first presidency via the Russiagate hoax.

Gabbard said that newly released documents expose what she called “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.” She also promised that this was just the beginning: “We will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place, and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people.”

Trump applauded Gabbard while reacting to a cable news segment in which White House spokesman Harrison Fields and others discussed the revelations, writing on his Truth Social platform, “The Panel was fantastic on prosecuting Obama and the ‘thugs’ who have just been unequivocally exposed on highest level Election Fraud. Congratulations to Tulsi Gabbard. Keep it coming!!!”

Japan’s PM Ishiba Admits Election Defeat, But Vows to Remain in Power.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party failed to secure enough seats to retain control of the upper house in the latest election.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, the Liberal Democratic Party, and opposition parties including the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Democratic Party for the People.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The election took place on Sunday in Japan, with results being finalized on Monday morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “That’s right. It’s a difficult situation, and we have to take it very humbly and seriously.” – Shigeru Ishiba

🎯IMPACT: The loss puts pressure on the prime minister to address internal party challenges and navigate key policy issues, including U.S. tariff talks.

IN FULL

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s center-right Liberal Democratic Party fell short of the 50 seats it required to maintain control of Japan’s 248-seat upper chamber, securing 47 seats in Sunday’s election. At a news conference, Ishiba affirmed his commitment to stay in office, emphasizing his focus on critical issues like tariff negotiations with the U.S. and rising consumer prices.

Ishiba told Japanese media that he “solemnly” accepted the “harsh result,” acknowledging, “It’s a difficult situation, and we have to take it very humbly and seriously.” Notably, the last three Japanese prime ministers who lost an upper house majority resigned within two months.

While the election result does not directly threaten Ishiba’s minority government, it intensifies pressure on him after his party’s earlier loss of the lower house in October. The center-left Constitutional Democratic Party, the main opposition, gained 37 seats, while the center-right Democratic Party for the People won 22. The right-leaning Sanseito Party made significant gains, securing 14 seats compared to just one in the prior election. Voter turnout hit 58 percent—a six-point increase from the previous upper house election—with a record number of early votes cast over the three-day weekend.

The erosion of the Liberal Democratic Party’s power is significant, with the party having dominated Japan since 1955.
