Hunter Biden, the scandal-plagued son of former President Joe Biden, launched into an unhinged, expletive-filled meltdown during a recent interview, attacking his own party's elite establishment while defending illegal immigration and making shocking admissions about his drug-fueled past.
In what can only be described as an unglued performance on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, the younger Biden lashed out at top Democrats, calling George Clooney a "fucking brand" rather than an actor, dismissing James Carville as irrelevant, and exposing the Pod Save America hosts as grifting "junior fucking speech writers" who have been "making millions" off their Obama connections.
Obama advisor David Axelrod wasn't spared either, with Biden dismissing his entire career: "David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama."
Biden even turned his venom on powerful Democrat consultant Anita Dunn, revealing the stunning amounts of money these political parasites have extracted from the party: "Anita Dunn has made $40-$50 million off the Democratic Party."
And in a final insult to the failing mainstream media, Biden called out CNN host Jake Tapper over his poor ratings. "What influence does Jake Tapper have over anything? He has the smallest audience on cable news," he said.
The disgraced Biden son also unleashed a barrage of F-bombs while ranting about illegal immigration and taking direct aim at hardworking Americans who support border security.
"All these Democrats say, 'you have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration'," Biden said. "Fuck you. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your fucking table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your fucking garden? Who do you think is hear by the fucking sheer fucking, just, grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give thereselfses and there family a better chance?"
It’s not enough to say they hated Trump. That’s the surface-level distraction they fed the public - tweets, tone, ego. But behind closed doors, the political elite weren’t clutching their pearls over Trump's behavior. They were panicking over what he might expose...
The effort to sabotage Trump’s presidency—before he even took office—was not about protecting democracy. It was about protecting the machine.
From George H.W. Bush to Barack Obama, the same interconnected network of intelligence operatives, political dynasties, and global financial interests built and maintained a shadow system of power. Trump threatened to bring it all into the light.
Bush Sr.: The Architect
George H.W. Bush didn’t just serve as CIA Director, he was one of the architects of modern intelligence-led shadow governance. Under his watch, the United States expanded covert operations globally, often under the guise of national security. These operations weren’t just about foreign policy. They included drug trafficking (see: Iran-Contra), money laundering, and manipulation of foreign elections. They funded black budget programs and off-the-books deals.
The Bush family’s ties to global banking, oil, and weapons aren’t speculation, they’re documented. But scrutiny was always dismissed as conspiracy theory. Why? Because the machine controlled the narrative.
Clinton: The Cleaner
Bill Clinton’s administration refined the art of corruption and cover-up. From the Mena Airport drug running scandal to the Chinagate campaign finance scandal, corruption was a feature—not a bug—of his presidency. The Clintons cashed in on global influence and built the Clinton Foundation into a pay-to-play leviathan.
Meanwhile, the intelligence community continued to expand its reach, especially into domestic surveillance—setting the stage for what would come next.
Bush Jr.: The Enabler
Under George W. Bush, 9/11 became the catalyst for exponential growth in surveillance, control, and unaccountable government authority. The Patriot Act opened the door to mass data collection on Americans. Wars were launched on false pretenses. Trillions disappeared. And no one was held accountable.
Cheney’s shadow presidency empowered defense contractors and intelligence contractors like never before. Black sites. Torture programs. Secret kill lists. The Constitution was paper to these people. The machine kept rolling, unchecked.
Obama: The Cover
Barack Obama ran on transparency and hope. What he delivered was the most refined form of managed decline in U.S. history. Whistleblowers were prosecuted. The IRS was weaponized. The media was co-opted. And the intelligence community was turned inward, not to protect Americans, but to protect itself.
Mossad Chief Pushes For US Assistance In Removing Gazans To Outside Countries
According to a new report by Axios, Mossad director David Barnea visited Washington this week to seek US support for Israel's efforts to persuade regional countries to accept large numbers of Palestinians which Israel plans to forcibly remove from Gaza.
Citing two sources familiar with the discussions, Axios reported that Barnea informed White House envoy Steve Witkoff that Israel has been holding talks with Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Libya about taking in Palestinian refugees. This as there's been on and off negotiations with Hamas, which haven't produced any truce settlement, and the war with Hamas has continued to spiral.
While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that any relocation of Gaza’s population would be "voluntary," many international legal experts and war monitors argue that such a plan would amount to ethnic cleansing and should be deemed a war crime.
The sources cited in Axios said Barnea told Witkoff that the three countries showed a willingness to accept substantial numbers of Palestinians, and that he suggested the US provide incentives to encourage their cooperation.
In the case of two of the countries, Ethiopia and Libya, there are long-simmering clashes and the potential for renewed civil war present. Libya in particular is actually controlled by at least two rival governments and powerful warlords have sway over the east.
It doesn't appear that Witkoff has committed to supporting the proposal, and representatives from the three named countries have not issued public statement.
Back in February, President Trump put forward an ultra-controversial proposal to expel all two million Palestinians from Gaza, paving the way for Israel transform the strip into the "Riviera of the Middle East."
It was at that time that US officials reportedly began to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu to identify countries willing to take in large numbers of Palestinians displaced from the Gaza Strip as a result.
"A Treasonous Conspiracy" - DNI Gabbard Exposes Obama At Center Of Trump 'Russia Hoax'
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has declassified documents revealing "overwhelming evidence" showing how then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would become the years-long Trump-Russia collusion investigation after President Trump won the 2016 election.
Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic.
Here’s how:
For months preceding the 2016 election, the Intelligence Community shared a consensus view: Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections.
But weeks after President Trump’s historic 2016 victory defeating Hillary Clinton, everything changed.
On Dec 8, 2016, IC officials prepared an assessment for the President's Daily Brief, finding that Russia "did not impact recent U.S. election results" by conducting cyber attacks on infrastructure.
Before it could reach the President, it was abruptly pulled “based on new guidance.” This key intelligence assessment was never published.
The next day, top national security officials including FBI Dir James Comey, CIA Dir John Brennan and DNI James Clapper gathered at the Obama White House to discuss Russia.
Obama directed the IC to create a new intelligence assessment that detailed Russian election meddling, even though it would contradict multiple intelligence assessments released over the previous several months.
Obama officials immediately leaned on their allies in the media to advance their falsehoods.
Jill Biden Aid Pleads 5th: Refuses To Answer Questions On Autopen Scandal
With the recent shocking admission by Joe Biden that he did not personally approve at least some of his sweeping presidential pardons and that they were signed by autopen, millions of Americans are questioning how many decisions in the Biden White House were actually being made by his unelected wife, criminal son, along with a shadow government of bureaucrats and aids.
Emails indicating that then-White House chief of staff Jeff Zients approved the use of the notorious White House autopen. Biden’s team used an autopen on 25 warrants for pardons and commutations in December and January of last year, but two of those warrants granted clemency to thousands of people.
In a House Republican investigation on the autopen signatures and Joe Biden's mental state, a former senior aide to Jill Biden, Anthony Bernal, became the second person to invoke the Fifth Amendment and decline to answer questions.
Biden's pardons include his own family dating back to 2014 (coinciding with evidence that the Bidens may have received payoffs from foreign governments in exchange for political favors). They also protect Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has long been implicated in illegal gain of function research on coronaviruses in Wuhan, China which critics assert may have led to the outbreak of covid pandemic.
If the pardons were signed by aids using autopen and not by Biden, then there is a possibility they can be legally nullified. Though proof would have to be provided that Biden was not specifically aware of certain autopen signatures. Staff using the autopen to sign for a president without his knowledge or cognitive approval is potentially criminal, which is likely why aids are now pleading the 5th Amendment.
“Well, unfortunately, that was quick,” said Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, after the deposition ended. “I believe the American people are concerned. They’re concerned that there were people making decisions in the White House that were not only unelected but no one to this day knows who they were.”
Crackdown Begins: Federal Agents Target Taco Shops Employing Illegal Aliens
Update (1515ET):
The federal government is ramping up its crackdown on Mexican restaurants hiring illegal aliens. As we reported earlier, a taco shop in Phoenix, Arizona, was raided and its owner arrested for knowingly employing illegals. Now, federal agents are executing search warrants at businesses across another state, that is Alabama.
"HSTF and state & local law enforcement executing federal search warrants across Alabama. The operation is part of an ongoing investigation into multiple federal crimes," Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Atlanta wrote on X, posting an image of a taco shop called El Patron Mexican Grill & Cantina.
HSI continued, "There is no threat to public safety. More details will be released as available."
Other instances of the federal agents rounding up illegal aliens working at taco shops...
Perhaps it's time for the Trump administration to push for more strict civil and criminal penalties against employers who hire illegal aliens — real deterrence requires real consequences.
* * *
Knowingly hiring illegal aliens is a major crime, and under President Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan, the federal government is cracking down on employers who exploit cheap migrant labor. In some cases, employers have even been caught hiring illegal alien children (or maybe even trafficked by labor mules), as exposed during last week's ICE raids on marijuana farms in Governor Newsom's far-left progressive utopia of California.
Hiring scrutiny on employers continues nationwide, with local media outlet 12 News in the Phoenix area reporting that Homeland Security Investigations arrested Blademir Angulo, 42, after a four-month-long investigation found he had hired at least a dozen illegal aliens at his restaurant, El Taco Loko.
Here's more from the local media outlet:
According to court documents, Angulo not only hired the workers but also allegedly paid them in cash and allowed them to live in recreational vehicles and trailers on property he owns in Laveen, near 63rd Avenue and Baseline Road. Agents also surveilled a second property near 16th Avenue and Southern Avenue as part of the investigation.
An 18-page federal complaint filed on July 11 charges Angulo with four federal crimes: Alien in Possession of a Firearm, Harboring Illegal Aliens, Improper Entry by an Alien, and a Pattern and Practice of Knowingly Employing Unauthorized Aliens.
In an interview, Angulo admitted that he knew what he was doing was illegal, but denied ever paying money to anyone to bring his employees across the southern border. One employee had a differing account, reportedly telling investigators he owed Angulo $12,000 for smuggling him into the United States.
Trump Likely To Announce "Aggressive" US Arms Transfer To Ukraine
As if the Big Beautiful Bill's spending increases, the bombing of Iran, mixed signals on immigration and the suppression of the Epstein files weren't enough to infuriate Trump voters, now comes news that President Trump is going to announce what a top DC warmonger calls an "aggressive" transfer of offensive weapons to Ukraine. Under the novel arrangement, European countries are supposedly going to foot the bill.
Last week, the administration announced that weapons shipments that had just been halted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over concerns about the depletion of America's own arsenal were being given a hasty green light after all. Trump broke the news on Monday after last week's "disappointing" phone call with President Putin, telling reporters he would send “more weapons” to Ukraine. Critically, Trump had emphasized that these would be "defensive weapons primarily."
Now, two sources tell Axios that it's likely a new weapons package will include long-range missiles capable of attacking deep inside Russia to include Moscow. They noted that a final decision hadn't been made. "Trump is really pissed at Putin. His announcement tomorrow is going to be very aggressive," warmongering South Carolina Sen. Lindsey told Axios.
While MAGA nation and libertarian-minded Trump voters will be disgusted, it's like a second Christmas in a month for Graham. First delighted by Trump's decision to engage the US military in Israel's war on Iran, long-time Ukraine-meddler Graham is now enthusing over Trump's new escalation. "The game...is about to change," said Graham in a Sunday appearance on Face the Nation. "I expect in the coming days you will see weapons flowing at a record level...[and] there will be tariffs and sanction available to President Trump he's never had before."
The transaction is expected to be announced Monday when Trump meets with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. This time around, European countries are expected to pay for American weapons bound for Ukraine. "Basically, we are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated military [equipment]. They're going to pay us 100% for them," Trump told reporters on Sunday. "As we send equipment, they're going to reimburse us."
The new arrangement sprang from a suggestion made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a NATO summit in late June. Striking an exceedingly Trump-like tone, an unnamed US official told Axios, "Zelensky came like a normal human being, not crazy, and was dressed like a somebody that should be at NATO. He had a group of people with him that also seemed not crazy. So they had a good conversation."
Trump To Impose 30% Tariffs On Mexico, European Union
President Trump on Saturday morning fired off two trade warning letters via Truth Social, threatening to impose 30% tariffs on all Mexican and European imports starting August 1. The warning to Mexico hinges on action to curb the flow of fentanyl and dismantle drug cartels, while the threat to Europe demands an end to long-standing trade imbalances driven by EU tariffs and non-tariff barriers. This caps off a week of letters sent to America's top trade partners, with tariff threats used as a negotiation tool by the Trump administration to seal deals.
"Despite our strong relationship, you will recall, the United States imposed Tariffs on Mexico to deal with our Nation's Fentanyl crisis, which is caused, in part, by Mexico's failure to stop the Cartels, who are made up of the most despicable people who ever walked the Earth, from pouring these drugs into our country," Trump said in the letter addressed to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
He continued, "Mexico has been helping me secure the border, BUT, what Mexico has done, is not enough. Mexico still has not stopped the Cartels who are trying to turn all of North America into a Narco-Trafficking Playground."
Here are the key points in the letter:
30% tariff will apply to all Mexican imports unless action is taken.
Tariff waivers will be granted for companies that build or manufacture in the U.S.
If Mexico raises tariffs in retaliation, the U.S. will match them on top of the 30%.
Adjust tariffs if Mexico successfully confronts the cartels and halts fentanyl trafficking
Copy of the letter that was posted on Trump's Truth Social:
The second letter Trump was addressed to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, in which he informed Brussels that he would impose a 30% tariff on all EU products starting August 1, unless long-standing trade imbalances—driven by EU tariffs and non-tariff barriers—are addressed.
"The European Union, despite having one of our largest Trade Deficits with you. Nevertheless, we have decided to move forward, but only with more balanced and fair TRADE," the president said.
He emphasized:
The U.S. market is open and fair, but EU practices have created an unsustainable trade deficit.
The 30% tariff applies separately from any sectoral tariffs and will be higher for goods transshipped to avoid it.
No tariffs will be applied if EU companies manufacture within the U.S.
The EU must allow full market access to the U.S. or face higher tariffs.
Retaliatory EU tariffs will be met with additional levies.
Trump warned that this trade deficit with the EU is a "major threat to our Economy and, indeed, our National Security!"

MTG Moves To Strike Half-Billion Of Military Aid To 'Nuclear-Armed Israel'
Vying for the title of Most Brazen Bull in the china shop that is America's relationship with the State of Israel, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will introduce an amendment to strike a half-billion dollars in additional military aid for the country -- and she notably emphasized its status as a nuclear power.
“I’m entering amendments to strike $500 million more for nuclear-armed Israel. And it’s important to say nuclear-armed Israel, because they do have nuclear weapons,” Greene said on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast, an influential hub of the MAGA movement with an audience of listeners comprising not only everyday Americans but also West Wing officials.
The additional $500 million would flow to a program that lie "at the heart of Israel's aerial defense operations," reports Responsible Statecraft. Greene says enough is enough. "We already give them $3.4 billion every single year...they don't need another $500 million in our defense budget. That's for the American people's defense," Greene told Bannon. "That's for the defense of the United States of America and our borders."
It's highly significant that, in her references to Israel, Greene used "nuclear-armed" five times, noting that "it's important to say 'nuclear-armed' because they do have nuclear weapons -- this is not a helpless country." While Greene's nuclear references ostensibly underscored the country's military strength,she may have had other intentions:
Spotlighting the hypocrisy of "nuclear-armed Israel" pushing the United States to war over Iran's nuclear program. While the US intelligence community has concluded isn't aiming for a nuclear weapon, Greene did give credence to Israel's claims to the contrary, saying last month's US strikes "on [Israel's] behalf... destroyed Iran's nuclear problem."
Firing a shot across the bow of all Israel aid, by violating a long-standing US government policy of refusing to confirm that Israel has a nuclear arsenal. Those refusals to acknowledge Israel's nuclear status are part of a decades-long conspiracy to keep billions of dollars in aid flowing to Israel in violation of US law.
As Brian McGlinchey explained in a deep-dive on the topic at Stark Realities:
While having amassed upwards of 200 nuclear warheads, Israel is not a member of the the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)...That makes U.S. aid to Israel illegal under the Symington Amendment of 1976, which bars economic and military assistance to countries that acquire nuclear reprocessing technology without submitting to international safeguards and inspections. The law was reinforced by the Glenn Amendment of 1977.
The proposed redistribution another $500 million of American wealth to Israel is contained in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annual bill that funds the Department of Defense. “There are some parts of this NDAA that I cannot support, and that’s continued foreign aid and foreign funding, and it needs to come out,” said Greene. Bannon called this year's iteration of the NDAA "disastrous," as it calls for a trillion dollars in total purported "defense" spending.
Trump To Send $300M In Weapons To Ukraine Drawn From Pentagon Reserves
For the first time, President Donald Trump is set to use his authority to send weapons directly to Ukraine from Pentagon reserves, Reuters reports, citing two sources familiar with the matter, after last week's brief halt in shipments and now subsequent reversal.
Until now, the Trump administration had only transferred arms that were previously approved during Biden's prior term. Trump is likely to use the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which enables the president to quickly provide military aid in 'emergencies', despite long-running fears that America could lack for key military hardware if fighting its own wars against a major power, Reuters says. It remains that the US hasn't fought a direct war with a 'great power' in quite some time, going back the WW2-era.
Trump on Tuesday indicated he would send more weapons to Ukraine amid intensifying Russian advances and aerial strikes, after the prior week saw hundreds of drones sent nightly.
"More than three years after Russia's invasion of its neighbor, Trump's team will identify arms from U.S. stockpiles to send to Ukraine under the Presidential Drawdown Authority, the sources said, with one saying they could be worth around $300 million," Reuters reports.
This is expected to include Patriot air defense missiles and medium-range rockets, which is somewhat surprising and alarming given the amount of Patriots the Pentagon has just blown through defending Israel, and mid Iranian attacks.
According to the Guardian, "The United States only has about 25% of the Patriot missile interceptors it needs for all of the Pentagon’s military plans after burning through stockpiles in the Middle East in recent months, an alarming depletion that led to the Trump administration freezing the latest transfer of munitions to Ukraine."
And as we noted earlier, US weapons manufacturers can only produce approximately 500 Patriot missiles per year. The US stockpile of air and missile defenses has been drained to aid Ukraine during the war with Russia. Missile interceptors are in short supply in the West.
Trump's fresh (up to) $300 million infusion would reverse Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to pause shipments while a more thorough review can be made, after he expressed wariness of expanding support to Ukraine.
He reportedly made that call without first consulting the president, and the White House earlier this week acted like it was surprised that the pause ever happened. On Wednesday the president was questioned by a reporter as follows:
"Yesterday, you said that you were not sure who ordered the munitions halted to Ukraine. Have you since been able to figure that out?" a reporter asked the president.
"Well, I haven't thought about it, because we're looking at Ukraine right now and munitions, but I have, no I have not gone into it," he said.
The reporter followed up by asking, "What does it say that such a big decision could be made inside your government without you knowing?"
"I would know if a decision was made, I will know," Trump stressed. "I'll be the first to know. In fact, most likely I'd give the order, but I haven't done that yet."
Israel Defense Minister Unveils Plan For 'Concentration Camp' In Gaza
With Gaza ceasefire negotiations under way and President Trump raising hopes of a deal being reached by week's end, Defense Minister Israel Katz on Monday revealed that the IDF will create what it calls a "humanitarian city" in the wasteland that is Rafah, and then forcibly concentrate Gaza's entire population of nearly 2 million people inside it.
concentration camp (noun) a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard
In the first phase, the IDF plans to round up 600,000 displaced Palestinians who are living in the coastal Mawasi area and move them to Rafah, a city in southernmost Gaza that borders Egypt and Israel. Eventually, every Gaza resident will be moved. After security screening, Palestinians will be ushered inside the camp, with IDF guards ensuring that none are able to leave, Katz said.
While the Israeli military will secure the perimeter, the Netanyahu government is looking for some type of international organization(s) to take charge of the interior, to include overseeing the distribution of aid, an enterprise currently managed by the shadowy Gaza Humanitarian Foundation with the IDF dishing out mass killings of Palestinians approaching the aid points; more than 600 are reported dead around the aid stations since late May. Whistleblowing soldiers have told reporters that lethal weapons are being used against unarmed people as brute-force crowd control.
Katz's announcement contradicts what the IDF Chief of Staff's office told Israel's High Court on the very same day. In response to a petition filed by IDF reserve soldiers asking the court to determine if Israel was violating international law by forcibly displacing Palestinians with perhaps the ultimate goal of expelling them, the Chief of Staff's office said there was no plan to move masses of Gaza residents or to concentrate them somewhere in the territory. However, that assurance is itself seemingly contradicted by the operations order for "Gideon's Chariots," the IDF's latest operation launched in May, which says one objective is "managing and mobilizing the civilian population," Haaretz reports.
On Monday, Katz also reiterated Israel's intention to subsequently facilitate Palestinians' departures to other countries, telling reporters that Israel will implement "the emigration plan, which will happen." Separately, however, an official told Haaretz that Israel's overtures to various countries have all been refused. While Israel's champions commonly claim such refusals prove that Palestinians are dangerously undesirable people, Middle East governments are intensely wary of being perceived by their own populations as facilitating ethnic cleansing by Israel, for fear of domestic backlash up to and including insurrections.
For somewhat similar reasons, Israel is likely to struggle to find what Katz called "international partners" to run the interior of the Rafah concentration camp. Human-rights-oriented groups and foreign governments will recoil at an invitation to serve as a key component of a scheme that most objective observers would characterize as a war crime. Given that, we could see the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation fill the void, which would only compound the controversy.
Meeting with President Trump at the White House on Monday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu struck an optimistic tone about the prospect of mass Palestinian emigration, and characterized the idea as voluntary in nature:
"If people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave. We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realize what they always say, that they wanted to give the Palestinians a better future. I think we're getting close to finding several countries."
Trump echoed Netanyahu's optimism, saying, "We've had great cooperation from ... surrounding countries, great cooperation from every single one of them. So something good will happen."
Though the implementation phase is apparently now imminent, the idea of corralling all of Gaza's population into Rafah and then moving them out has been circulating since the very beginning of Israel's response to the Hamas invasion of Oct 7 2023. A Ministry of Intelligence policy paper dated Oct 10 2023 and obtained by +972 Magazine that same month recommended herding Gaza's entire 2.2 million residents south and then forcing them into Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
More recently, as Dave DeCamp notes at Antiwar.com, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich outlined a forcible displacement scheme in candid and grim terms that belie Netanyahu's characterization of coming emigration as "voluntary." In May, he boasted to attendees of a West Bank settlement conference that Palestinians will have no choice but to abandon a land rendered uninhabitable by the IDF:
“Within a few months...Gaza will be totally destroyed. The Gazan citizens will be concentrated in the south. They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”
