Rep. Jim Jordan Demands Anti-Trump NY Prosecutors Appear Before Weaponization Committee.

Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government (Weaponziation Committee), is demanding that Manthann District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Senior Counsel to the District Attorney Matthew Colangelo appear before Congress on June 13. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Weaponization Committee said the two Democrat attorneys are being asked to “testify about the unprecedented political prosecution of President Trump.”

The committee announcement comes on the heels of a New York jury finding former President Donald J. Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the Manhattan-based hush money trial brought by Bragg. Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan presided over the case and appeared to purposefully bias the jury in favor of the Manhattan DA and his prosecutors.

In addition to Bragg, Chairman Jordan has requested that Matthew Colangelo — who served as a senior official in the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) prior to joining Bragg’s office — testify as well. The National Pulse has reported extensively on Colangelo and his nearly two-decade history of lawfare against conservative organizations and Republican lawmakers. Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill suspect Colangelo of being a go-between used by the Biden government to coordinate with Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Trump.

The committee is also set to hear from former Federal Election Commissioner Bradley Smith. Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan essentially barred Smith from testifying in the hush money trial. Smith was set to testify that the payments made to disgraced lawyer Michael Cohen were not in violation of federal campaign finance law. The charges brought by Bragg were predicated on an alleged federal campaign finance violation for which Trump was never changed nor convicted.

House Panel Seeks Secret Service DEI Report After Kamala Harris Agent Brawl.

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee is seeking explanations from the Secret Service regarding its employment policies after an agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris was involved in a physical altercation with colleagues. The incident has raised concerns about potential breaches in the hiring and screening processes within the protective agency.

On Thursday, Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle requesting a briefing by June 13. Comer cited “potential vulnerabilities” that could impede the Secret Service’s mission to protect the president, vice president, and their families.

MENSTRUAL PAD FIGHT.

The National Pulse reported that the April 22 altercation occurred at Joint Base Andrews shortly before Harris arrived at the military facility. In what Secret Service officials describe as a medical incident, an erratic agent began arguing with colleagues. A fight broke out when the Special Agent in Charge and a supervisor attempted to intervene. The aggressor had to be restrained by other Secret Service personnel.

Additional details revealed that the agent who started the fight was Michelle Herczeg. Herczeg, who previously lodged a $1 million discrimination lawsuit against the city of Dallas, is said to have hurled items, including menstrual pads, at her colleagues. Comer noted that this incident has called into question the agency’s hiring standards, particularly whether previous incidents in Herczeg’s work history were overlooked due to staff shortages and efforts to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

‘SHE WASN’T RIGHT.’

A former co-worker of Herczeg’s from the Dallas Police Department told The New York Post that they would not have trusted Herczeg with such a high-level assignment and described her hiring as a significant oversight.

“I was at a loss for words when I heard she was an agent, much less on a detail with somebody that high up,” the co-worker said. “Everybody, including myself, just knew she wasn’t right.”

Trump Can Sue Niece Over NY Times Article, Court Rules.

A New York state appeals court ruled that former President Donald J. Trump can proceed with a lawsuit against his niece, Mary Trump, for her role in providing information to the New York Times for its 2018 investigation into his finances. The Appellate Division in Manhattan determined that Donald Trump has a substantial legal basis to claim that Mary Trump breached confidentiality clauses in a 2001 settlement agreement over the estate of Fred Trump Sr., the former President’s father.

A panel of five judges stated it remains unclear if Mary Trump’s disclosures violated the confidentiality terms and the intended duration of these provisions. Trump’s attorneys announced they planned to seek damages of upwards of $100 million.

Meanwhile, Mary Trump‘s legal team argued that the lawsuit aims to silence criticism and retaliate against truthful free speech. Anne Champion, Mary Trump’s attorney, stated, “Mary has made valuable contributions to the public’s knowledge of the former President with her unique perspective as a family member. We are confident she will be vindicated as the case proceeds.” Additionally, Champion added that Donald Trump “can claim no injury for the publication of truthful information.”

Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, expressed intent to hold Mary Trump accountable for what she termed a blatant breach of contract.

The New York Times report challenged claims that Donald Trump was a self-made billionaire, asserting he received approximately $413 million from his father through dubious tax schemes, which Trump denies. After the story’s publication, Mary Trump identified herself as a source for the New York Times in her 2020 book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.”

Ex-Biden Comms Chief Official Blasts Her Old Colleagues.

Symone Sanders-Townsend, a former advisor to Joe Biden, has criticized Biden regime officials who claim they cannot verify Israel’s potentially unlawful actions in Gaza, describing those statements as “absurd.”

“The statements from some administration officials about not being able to verify what’s happening in Gaza are absurd. We can all see the pictures. It’s horrific,” Sanders-Townsend wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). Her comments come amidst rising tension over a recent Israeli strike on a site in Rafah housing displaced Palestinians. The attack resulted in the deaths of dozens of civilians.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled the incident a “tragic event” and assured that it would be subject to investigation. The strike also resulted in the deaths of two Hamas militants, although Israeli authorities had not anticipated such significant civilian casualties.

This attack has reignited calls for a ceasefire among various international and local groups. Israel has maintained that its military operations will continue until Hamas is eliminated.

Sanders-Townsend has made previous comparisons between the global protests engendered by the Israel-Hamas war and the Black Lives Matter demonstrations that swept across the United States in recent years. “I know for a fact that at least a couple of months ago and weeks ago, people were telling Joe Biden, the President of the United States of America, that this ceasefire thing was going to blow over once you get the hostages back and won’t be an issue for the general election,” she told The Root in March. “I think that was wrong and bad advice to give.”

On Tuesday, Biden State Department official Stacy Gilbert resigned over the regime’s response to Israeli actions in Gaza.

NEW HOAX DROP: ‘Trump Said N-Word 20 Years Ago,’ Claims Ex-Apprentice Producer.

Bill Pruitt, a former producer on The Apprentice, claims the expiration of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is finally allowing him to allege that Donald Trump said “n***er” — a slur against African-Americans — on set in 2004. Pruitt’s story about being gagged for two decades, however, fails to add up considering his previous barbs aimed at Trump, as well as years of commentary about the show.

“I signed an expansive nondisclosure agreement that promised a fine of $5 million and even jail time if I were to ever divulge what actually happened,” writes Pruitt in the little-read left wing website Slate. Pruitt describes himself as “one of four producers involved in the first two seasons” of the show, and implies the expiration of the NDA this year has freed him — although he has actually been trashing The Apprentice as a “scam” for years.

Pruitt claims Trump was reluctant to allow black season one contestant Kwame Jackson — now a self-described “DEI Consultant” who accuses Trump of “Racism, Xenophobia, [and] Sexism” on social media — to win. He claims Trump said, “I mean, would America buy a n***er winning?” He adds that the then-future president was “serious, and… adamant about not hiring Jackson,” and that “the damning evidence was caught on tape.”

However, such tapes have never emerged, and Pruitt writes he has come to believe they “will never be found.”

But despite claiming he could not accuse Trump of saying n***er without facing multi-million-dollar fines and possible jail time for violating an “expansive” NDA, he has been able to attack The Apprentice and personally insult Trump, apparently without sanction, since at least 2016.

Pruitt also previously denied as “preposterous” an accusation he signed “a confidentiality agreement when working on The Apprentice… agree[ing] to sexism in workplace,” implying it merely covered not disclosing the outcome of the contest.

“We signed them so as to not disclose who got fired,” Pruitt insisted, calling his new claims into question.

The news is evidently the latest, scarcely believable hoax against Trump, which comes as polls show the 45th President surging with black voters against Joe Biden. The peddlers of the hoax, including Pruitt, are asking Americans to believe that not only did Trump openly use the n-word amongst a number of liberal television colleagues, but that no one thought to allege it until 2024.

Hunter’s Stripper Baby Mama Releasing Tell-All Book.

Lunden Roberts, the former stripper with whom Hunter Biden had a child, is releasing a tell-all memoir that will be published before the 2024 election.

Details: The memoir will be titled “Out of the Shadows: My Life Inside the Wild World of Hunter Biden” and will reveal details about her relationship with Joe Biden’s troubled son.

The timing: The book will be published on August 20, during the week of the Democratic National Convention.

Back up: Back in 2017, Hunter Biden was in a relationship with Hallie Biden — his late brother Beau’s widow. During that relationship, he had an affair with a stripper (Lunden Roberts). In August 2018, Roberts gave birth to their child, Navy Joan Roberts.

Back to the book: The book’s description describes a “rollercoaster ride of a relationship, touching on the drug cook working in [Hunter’s company’s] kitchen, strip clubs where Hunter might try the pole himself… and dozens of other stories that make the laptop debacle seem routine.”

Grandpa Joe: Joe Biden didn’t publicly acknowledge his granddaughter until June 2023. During his first few years in the White House, he would hand stockings with all his grandchildren’s names but excluded Navy Joan.

That’s the Biden family in a nutshell. But the media wants you to believe the Trump family is the problem.

Ex-Melania Aide Says She Is Trump’s Top Cheerleader, ‘She Encourages Him to Go Full Brass Knuckles.’

A former aide to Melania Trump has revealed details that challenge common perceptions of the former first lady’s relationship with her husband, Donald Trump. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who had a 15-year relationship with Melania Trump and worked on the 2017 inauguration, wrote a column shedding light on Melania Trump’s alleged support for her husband’s controversial actions and viewpoints.

Melania Trump is often portrayed as a “counterbalance” to her husband, leading to the impression that she might be a “hostage hoping to be freed.” However, Winston Wolkoff contends that Melania Trump fully supports and understands Donald Trump’s methods. When he combats his supposed enemies with aggressive tactics, she is often there encouraging him to continue.

“When he goes full brass knuckles on his supposed enemies, she’s often encouraging him to aggressively go for it. She’s his biggest cheerleader.”

– Former Melania aide, Stephanie Wolkoff.

As Donald Trump faces a trial related to the Stormy Daniels hush money case, Melania Trump has remained out of the public eye. According to Winston Wolkoff, this decision may serve a strategic purpose. Melania Trump is described as a “ruthless survivor” willing to take any necessary steps for self-preservation.

Winston Wolkoff recalls Melania Trump advising her on marriage matters, saying, “Just let him do what he’s going to do. Why get in a fight about something that won’t change?” She describes this as a reflection of Melania Trump’s approach to her marriage and her ambition. Melania Trump, like her husband, allegedly conveyed on multiple occasions her desire to win “at all costs.”

Winston Wolkoff and Melania Trump had a falling out, which resulted in Winston Wolkoff authoring the tell-all book Melania and Me. She also released audio recordings of her conversations with Melania Trump, adding tension to their relationship.

ANOTHER Biden Official Resigns Over Gaza.

A career official at the State Department has resigned over disagreements with a recent U.S. government report regarding Israel’s actions in Gaza. Stacy Gilbert, formerly of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, tendered her resignation this week, citing her disagreement with the report’s findings. Gibert’s resignation follows that of Josh Paul, a former Director at the State Department.

The contentious report in question asserted that Israel had not impeded humanitarian assistance to Gaza. Gilbert disagreed with this conclusion and communicated her dissent in an email to her colleagues on Tuesday. In the email, Gilbert outlined her concerns and expressed her belief that the State Department’s assessment was inaccurate. Gilbert’s resignation highlights internal discord within the Biden regime concerning Israel’s conduct in Gaza and the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Officials who read Gilbert’s letter explained that she felt strongly that Israel had, in fact, obstructed humanitarian efforts in Gaza. The particulars of the obstruction were not specified in the officials’ accounts of the letter. Gilbert’s departure comes when U.S. policies and actions in the Middle East are under intense scrutiny.

The State Department has not officially commented on Gilbert’s resignation or her assertions regarding the report. The development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing debates within the Biden government over how best to address the humanitarian situation in Gaza and U.S. foreign policy towards Israel and Palestine.

The Biden regime has attempted — not so gracefully — to walk a line between appeasing the anti-Israel left-wing of the Democrat party, progressives, young people, and Arab and Muslim voters and maintaining some semblance of the country’s traditional support for Israel. However, a recently released undercover video of a White House staffer suggests that Biden’s continued pro-Israel posturing is an effort to shore up the Jewish vote ahead of the election and that a second Biden presidency would be far more explicitly anti-Israel.

Biden Eases Economic Restrictions on Communist Cuba.

The Biden regime announced several revisions to its sanctions policy on Cuba on Tuesday, aiming to facilitate economic activities for private entrepreneurs and businesses on the island. This move reportedly seeks to boost support for the Cuban population while ensuring that the Cuban government does not benefit from these measures.

The amendments will permit private Cuban entrepreneurs to open U.S. bank accounts, enabling them to conduct financial transactions more efficiently. Additionally, these businesses will gain access to online banking services, expected to significantly improve their operational capabilities.

A senior regime official emphasized that this policy change is designed to strengthen the private sector in Cuba. “Our goal is to empower the Cuban people by enhancing their economic independence from the government,” the official said.

Critics of the Biden regime’s approach argue that these measures could inadvertently benefit Cuba’s communist government through indirect channels. However, officials have assured that safeguards will be in place to monitor and ensure that only private entities enjoy the economic benefits.

This change follows a series of similar measures in recent years aimed at fostering private enterprise in Cuba. In May, the Biden regime reinstated certain travel authorizations and remittances intended to assist Cuban families and entrepreneurs.

As private businesses in Cuba gain access to U.S. banking facilities, how effectively these changes translate into economic empowerment for the local population remains to be seen. Observers will be watching closely to gauge the impact on the ground and the Cuban government’s response.

The communist Cuban government is openly hostile to the U.S. Last year, it struck a deal to host a Chinese spy base.

Poland Erupts in Protests Over Warsaw Mayor’s Ban on Religious Symbols.

The recent decision by Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski to remove religious symbols from the city hall building has sparked significant protests across Poland. Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, has accused Trzaskowski’s European People’s Party (EPP) of attempting to “destroy religion and people’s faith.”

On May 8, Trzaskowski issued a decree on equal treatment standards within the town hall. The decree included a ban on the display of religious symbols in offices and on workers’ desks. Workers are still permitted to wear religious symbols on their bodies and clothing.

Warsaw is Poland’s first city to formally ban religious symbols in office spaces to promote non-discrimination.

The decision has sparked outrage among conservative groups, including the right-wing PiS and Confederation parties. Although Trzaskowski is not a candidate, these groups have linked the issue to the upcoming European elections.

Confederation MPs Michał Wawer and Roman Fritz have argued that Trzaskowski’s decision attacks Polish citizens’ freedom of belief and religion. PiS MP Małgorzata Gosiewska has requested that the provincial administration in Mazowieckie voivodship, where Warsaw is located, declare the decree illegal. Ordo Iuris, an ultra-conservative legal institute, has filed a complaint against Trzaskowski for abuse of office.

In their statement, Ordo Iuris cited the constitutional right to freedom of conscience and religion and referenced a 2010 Senate resolution and a 2011 European Court of Human Rights ruling to support their stance.

Significantly, Trzaskowski is a member of Poland’s governing Civic Platform party. A staunchly globalist party, Civic Platform’s rule has been marked by the persecution of conservative political opponents.

In the 2021 census, 71.3 percent of Poland’s 36.8 million people identified as Catholic, showcasing the country’s strong religious identity.
