Well expectations were sky high when he held a massive outdoor rally in November of 2008 at the Chicago lakefront. But Obama took things in the exact opposite direction. The economy did stabilize but only for the already successful. Obama became the DIVIDER IN CHIEF.

Weren’t we assured that Barack Obama went “into and out of office with not a whiff of scandal”? Yes we were. Former Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen told us so, as did many others. But it wasn’t true. There are many, the most recent a claim that Obama, and then Joe Biden, pressured bank executives to deny services to conservatives. It’s a serious charge that, like the Russia hoax, makes Watergate look like a sandbox squabble. Here’s what we’ve learned: According to Fox Business, major bank executives said “they were under pressure by the Obama and Biden administrations to deny...

People should take the time to watch this. 43 minute & 37 seconds runtime.

This week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced a dramatic reduction in expenditures for the agency she's head of. She characterized the cuts as "the start of a new era focused on serving our country, fulfilling our core national security mission with excellence, always grounded in the US Constitution, and ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people." Senior ODNI officials who assisted in the months-long mission review stressed that the review was "incredibly thoughtful and thorough.

(Aug. 24, 2025) — Over the weekend of August 9 and 10, The Gateway Pundit sponsored a conference recognizing the persecution and prosecution of several well-known individuals serving in the first Trump administration who are now “vindicated.” . . “Then last week, ODNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped a long overdue political bomb on the American public,” the post continues. “Tulsi Gabbard released a newly declassified presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax. Barack Obama was in on it! “This is possibly the greatest crime in US history! . . Following the conference, Booth [who attended...

Where did all the Republican votes go in Bridgeport, Connecticut? Either over half of the traditional Republican voters in gubernatorial elections were no-shows on November 2 or the Constitution State's most populous city...lost its constitution. Bridgeport is certainly not the sort of idyllic Norman Rockwell town found throughout most of Connecticut. It has long endured political corruption and patronage, high rates of poverty and crime, a shrinking economy, a  declining population, and more recently, an infestation of radical progressive groups such as ACORN, AFL-CIO, WFP, and SEIU. Bridgeport did not earn the nickname "Chicago of the East" for nothing. Despite its...

He met up with his two deckhands at his boat, The...

... The “problem” with this is that forensic document experts have determined that the Hawaiian “Birth Certificate” of Obama is an amateurish forgery. It is a pieced-together computer-generated document for which the identity of another person born in Honolulu on or about the same date (August 4, 1961) was used, constituting the crimes of Identity Theft and Forgery. I URGE THAT EVERYONE WHO HAS AN INTEREST IN LAW AND ORDER AND OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION SHOULD READ THIS EXCELLENT ARTICLE WHICH APPARENTLY IS BEING REJECTED BY THE FBI AS A FOIA REQUEST. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2025/08/22/no-government-investigation-of-obama-birth-certificate/

Newly declassified memos reveal federal prosecutors secured evidence from FBI brass indicating that former FBI Director James authorized classified leaks shortly before the 2016 election, but they declined to bring charges. According to the memos obtained by Just The News, an investigation by the US Postal Inspection Service Agents revealed former FBI General Counsel James Baker and Comey’s Chief of Staff James Rybicki were involved in leaking the classified information to The New York Times in October 2016.

EPA Director Lee Zeldin told Miranda Devine, her podcast, that $20 billion was laundered through a network of "pass-through" NGOs from the "Inflation Reduction Act" to groups controlled by former Obama and Biden administration officials. EPA DIRECTOR LEE ZELDIN: When I was going through the confirmation process, this video comes out—it was done through Project Veritas. It was of a Biden EPA employee who was talking about how the agency was “tossing gold bars off the Titanic,” rushing to get billions of dollars out the door before Inauguration Day. He was also talking about the desire to get themselves jobs...

Former President Barack Obama has waded into states’ efforts at rare mid-decade redistricting efforts, saying he agrees with California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s response to alter his state’s congressional maps, in the way of Texas redistricting efforts promoted by President Donald Trump aimed at shoring up Republicans’ position in next year’s elections. “I believe that Gov. Newsom’s approach is a responsible approach. He said this is going to be responsible. We’re not going to try to completely maximize it,” Obama said at a Tuesday fundraiser on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, according to excerpts obtained by The Associated Press. “We’re only going...

In the wake of President Donald Trump's executive order outlawing debanking, major bank executives told Fox News Digital that they were under pressure by the Obama and Biden administrations to deny services to individuals and businesses for political reasons. "Those pressures were very, very real. When your regulator gives you a suggestion, it’s not a suggestion, it’s an order. The political stuff is very real, those pressures are real," a senior banking executive told Fox News Digital. Debanking refers to the practice of banks closing accounts or denying services to individuals or businesses, often with no explanation. The practice originated...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced the revocation of 37 security clearances of current and former officials who “abused public trust by politicizing and manipulating” information — including several who were involved in a controversial, Barack Obama-ordered assessment of Russian influence in the 2016 election. An ODNI memo dated Monday announced that the more than three dozen intel professionals — including a former top aide to Obama DNI James Clapper — had either politicized or weaponized intelligence, failed to safeguard classified info or not followed tradecraft standards. “The President has directed that, effective immediately, the security clearances of the...

Former President Obama joined a Zoom call with Texas state House Democrats on Thursday, calling the Republican redistricting effort in the state a “systematic assault on democracy.” “What we all recognize is we can’t let a systematic assault on democracy just happen and stand by,” Obama said.

Ed Martin, the director of the Department of Justice Weaponization Working Group, joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures" for an explosive interview about ongoing investigations into government abuse of power. Martin confirmed that his office is reviewing criminal referrals involving Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), New York Attorney General Letitia James, and matters tied to the Russia hoax and January 6 investigations. Bartiromo opened by asking Martin to assess “a decade of dirty tricks” against Donald Trump. Martin agreed, saying the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group, launched under Attorney General Pam Bondi, is tasked with uncovering the truth. “We’ve...

The BRICS economic partnership was formed during the Obama administration. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) watched U.S. President Obama subcontract U.S. trade policy to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street.In the aftermath of the 2007 economic crisis, created by Congress and banking interests, the BRICS group identified two central points of ‘western’ financial influence that concerned them.Following the financial crisis, the relationships around the World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), EU central banks and various multinational institutions and multinational corporations, merged even closer with the government.The priorities of the Davos and World Economic Forum...

First, Hillary Clinton, the twice-failed presidential candidate who never got over her humiliating loss to Donald Trump, is suddenly praising Trump as a peacemaker and openly admitting she’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize if he can end the bloody war in Ukraine without ceding land to Russia. And now, shockingly, Obama’s disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan, the same deep state operative who pushed the Russia Collusion Hoax to undermine Trump’s presidency, is following Clinton’s lead, saying he too would support Trump for the Nobel if he pulls it off. “Honestly, if he could bring about the end...

Some people wonder why Trump doesn’t just arrest all the coup plotters (starting at the top) and frog march them on TV for all the world to see. Well, there’s a logical reason for what he’s doing and the way he’s doing it....

Two key players have now confirmed central parts of our RussiaGate prosecution theory. First, FBI Director Kash Patel appeared on Hannity’s show this week and discussed the burn bags. “We found seven of them,” Kash said, “and hard drives from our predecessors and former leadership, and names of folks like Page, Strzok, Comey, McCabe —the list goes on— the names were strewn all over these materials.” CLIP: Kash Patel dicusses the burn bags and educating the public about RussiaGate (1:39). Remember: our theory is that this steady stream of declassifications are not intended to litigate RussiaGate in public, but rather...

On Thursday morning, Time magazine released its latest cover dated September 8 with the lead story “The Meaning of Zohran Mamdani.” Predictably, the story by Mark Chiusano was as mind-numbingly stupid and weak-kneed as a profile of Barack Obama in the mid-2000s. Chiusano called him “very eloquent,” “fun,” and “more gifted than almost any of his peers,” and facing “adulation” plus “notoriety” in the face of “xenophobic death threats.” The fluff came out as thick as mud with Chiusano fawning right off the bat that “[i]t’s not easy to move around New York City as Zohran Mamdani anymore” and taking...
