New chat logs released by the House Judiciary Committee this week show the extraordinary lengths the FBI went to behind the scenes to shut down any discussion of Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 after the New York Post broke the story.
The conversations, withheld by the FBI under Director Chris Wray, show that senior leadership issued an internal “gag order” on the laptop.
The FBI had been in possession of the abandoned MacBook Pro for 10 months by that stage, after computer repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac handed it over and warned of the potential crimes and national security concerns he had found.

If you were an aspiring law enforcement officer, would you have applied to the Federal Bureau of Investigation when the oleaginous Jim Comey was at the helm? Would you have considered working for Chris Wray, under whose direction you might be sent to raid an ex-president’s underwear drawer or investigate parents for caring about their children? Would you have been proud to show up at the office or in the field every day knowing that your Attorney General was Merrick Garland, who seemed to care more about getting Trump and protecting Biden than stopping illegal alien crimes,
Americans will likely have to pay more at the supermarket counter within the coming days while higher prices on everything from sneakers to furniture to cars could be felt in a matter of weeks following President Trump’s tariffs rollout, economists and industry experts told The Post.
Trump’s announcement on Wednesday triggered fears of a global trade war and sent stocks on Wall Street cratering – stoking economic uncertainty and leaving consumers with questions about which products to buy before they get sticker shock.
The 10% across-the-board tariffs begin Saturday, while the higher reciprocal tariffs against the nation’s largest trading partners go into effect Wednesday.
CBS News' "60 Minutes" has had some rather shameful episodes recently, including an episode in February where that was in favor of the censorship going on in Germany, which included arresting people over social media posts. They may have put out their worst earlier this week, though, as they tried to provide cover for Hamas terrorists mistreating their hostages held captive, which included in part withholding food from them. "Israeli hostages bond through horror of Hamas captivity," one segment was titled, in which Keith Segel spoke to Lesley Stahl. As Segel revealed that the Hamas terrorists "were beating me and starving me,"
Earlier this week, on April Fools’ Day of all days, a decision from a Federal court in Georgia began to reverberate through social media. The decision to dismiss the Curling v. Raffensperger case after an eight-year-long battle waged by the Coalition for Good Governance and Marilyn Marks shocked many who followed the case and 17-day trial closely.
I covered this case closely for The Gateway Pundit, flying up to Atlanta, Georgia. for two weeks to cover the trial in Judge Amy Totenberg’s court. The case to ban ballot-marking devices (BMDs) should have been a slam dunk after
In 1996, on the House floor, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) assailed a then-bipartisan plan to give Most Favored Nation (MFN) trade status to China, arguing that while the U.S. has low tariffs on China-made goods, China has high tariffs on American goods.
While debating opening U.S. free trade with China by giving the communist country MFN status, Pelosi made clear she opposed the plan, noting the growing trade deficit and how it was leading to economic devastation for Americans.

Tucker Carlson decided to swap out his American-made pickup after spotting a terrifying warning.
Carlson is a noted fan of Chevrolets, saying he's 'always had' the brand, even having expressed his love of 1987 Silverado having no electronics last year.
During a recent interview, the conservative commentator said he was filling his Chevy truck's gas tank when a startling message flashed across the infotainment screen.
All of a sudden at a gas station, it says, "Stop, we're downloading information from the internet,"' he claimed in during an interview with gearhead Casey Putsch.

something ‘horrible’ replies
President Donald Trump said he wants Elon Musk to stay on his team “as long as possible” during a conversation with reporters Thursday, adding DOGE had found something “horrible” without divulging details.
The president made his remarks during a conversation with reporters on Air Force One after Trump was asked how much longer Musk would stay on as a “special government employee.”
The questions followed a report from Politico this week claiming Trump had told his inner circle that Musk will be leaving his role as a “special government employee” with DOGE soon. The report cited internal frustrations with Musk’s “unpredictability” and his potential to be a “political liability.”

Two things up front: nobody is responsible for who supports them. Good people can have bad people support them for any number of reasons. Second: this is NOT A JOKE. It is both real and was intended seriously, although I admit the wording was probably tongue-in-cheek on the part of the Satanists.

The sign thanks the Governor for “not standing in the way of spreading satanism inside the State Capitol Building.”
The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights under President Joe Biden held multiple stakeholder meetings with leftist groups—including the Human Rights Campaign—while attempting to finalize its pro-transgender Title IX rules, new documents show.
Between April 2023, when the civil rights office released its first draft of rules, and April 2024, when it released the rules that would be finalized in August, the office convened quarterly meetings with leaders of left-leaning groups that support gender ideology, according to documents obtained by Protect the Public’s Trust and exclusively given to The Daily Signal. The administration faced heavy pushback and delayed the rules.
While the department scrapped the rules on Jan. 31 under
As if we needed any further evidence that illegal immigrant criminals were a real problem, we learn Thursday that the beleaguered city of Aurora, Colorado, has now had another problem with illegal aliens - this one, at least, has been resolved, for the moment. On Thursday, the Aurora Police Department released information that a sophisticated burglary ring, consisting of Columbian nationals, was picked up and jailed after a "thorough and exhaustive investigation."
A crew of "highly sophisticated" Colombian nationals has been arrested in Aurora, Colorado, after allegedly targeting and burglarizing nearly two dozen homes, authorities revealed.

NYC Mayoral Forum replies
MSNBC host Al Sharpton, who has for years criticized law enforcement for the "over-policing" of "low-level crimes," threatened to hand anyone who disrupted his New York City mayoral candidate forum "over to the po-po" and said he'd "sign the complaint myself."
Sharpton issued the warning during the second day of his National Action Network nonprofit's annual convention. He told the majority-black audience at the Sheraton in Times Square that he would take a zero-tolerance policy toward outbursts.
"If you think you can force your candidate down our throat, we will see you when you get out of jail," said Sharpton. "I’ve instructed all our security to just remove you and hand

Breaks Loose On CNN replies
A CNN panel discussion went off the rails on Wednesday after a guest who had served in President Joe Biden’s administration claimed that then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had “never compromised American lives.”
Dan Koh, who was the White House Deputy Cabinet Secretary during the Biden administration, began the exchange by suggesting that military leadership in President Donald Trump’s administration was putting people at risk and “no one was facing consequences.”
“That’s when people check out and realize that their democracy may not be what they thought it was,” Koh continued.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested over 30 people working for a roofing company in Washington on Wednesday.
An ICE spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday that the agency arrested 37 people employed with Mount Baker Roofing in Bellingham, a city near the Canadian border, charging they “fraudulently represented their immigration status and submitted fraudulent documents.”
The arrest stemmed from an ongoing criminal investigation, per King5.
Mark Kuske, owner of Mount Baker Roofing, said in a statement that those arrested were “actively supporting our community” and were active in the area for years.
Iran has ordered its military personnel to leave Yemen amidst the ongoing US bombing campaign in the country, The Telegraph reported on April 3. The newspaper’s source added that regime officials’ concerns over the Trump administration have eclipsed discussions on Tehran’s regional proxies, dominating every meeting and sidelining previous strategic priorities.
The move is part of a broader pattern of the Islamic Republic recalibrating its regional strategy in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to curtail Tehran’s influence in the Middle East and threats to potentially strike Iran’s nuclear sites.
Rogue judges who act like the president need to be held accountable, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-TX, said Wednesday.
“This [U.S. District Judge James Boasberg] is an activist, left-wing district court judge who decided to take it upon himself to act as commander in chief of the United States and demand that President [Donald] Trump bring a plane full of Aragua alien terrorists back into the United States. That is a blatant usurpation of the executive's authority. I think that it does warrant impeachment, and I've been very clear about that for the past several weeks,” Gill told Newsmax.
Gill introduced Articles of Impeachment against Boasberg

We now know the names of the people leading the “resistance” against President Donald Trump and the attacks on Elon Musk. They occupy the highest levels of Congress and the pinnacle of the Ivy League. They’ve called for more attacks against Tesla and are leading “resistance” training to get more of it on the streets. Just like they did in 2017, leading to the Summer of Love.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (☭-Wash.), who just left her perch as chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and Harvard professor Erica Chenoweth are holding “resistance” training sessions to get leftists “street ready” for mass protests against President Donald Trump.
Measles Propaganda

In the currently ongoing outbreak, there have been about 572 measles cases in Ontario, Canada. This is a significantly larger outbreak than the currently hyped one in Texas, which has about 422 cases. The mainstream media has almost completely ignored the Ontario outbreak - their reporting has only focused on the Texas outbreak.
Ontario's top public health official Dr. Kieran Moore does not recommend mandatory vaccination and says the standard public health measures to limit the spread are working. This is a very reasonable response, yet when Sec. Kennedy says something similar; he is viciously attacked.(snip)

Hamas is ready to release all remaining 59 hostages in Gaza in exchange for a permanent cease-fire with Israel, Palestinian officials said.
As Israel ramps up its military campaign in Gaza, the terror group told negotiators it was prepared to free all its hostages so long as it gets assurance that Jerusalem will withdraw all its forces, a senior Palestinian official told the Times of Israel.
It remains to be seen if the proposal will be accepted, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long rejected any deal that does not include Hamas’ complete defeat, including demilitarization and its permanent exit from Gaza.
As predicted, the Resistance Media have scrambled to make Tesla/SpaceX founder Elon Musk the scapegoat for last night’s special election outcomes. As part of that effort and despite clear evidence to the contrary, they have tied Musk’s upcoming exit from the Trump administration to these election results.

A moderate Democrat is expressing cautious optimism at President Donald Trump's stance on tariffs in a stark departure from most of his party's infuriated reaction.
Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, pointed out in a lengthy statement that he himself proposed a 10% blanket tariff on U.S. imports earlier this year and said he was happy Trump's baseline policy was the same – and even publicly pledged to work with Trump on enshrining it in federal law in a subsequent interview with Fox News Digital.
"What I can say now is I’m pleased the president is building his tariff agenda on the foundation of a universal 10% tariff
A Wisconsin police department announced Thursday morning that a teenage girl who was missing for two months was located in Nebraska.
Sophia Franklin,16, disappeared from the town of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, on Feb. 2, and was suspected to be traveling with a 40-year-old man named Gary Day, prompting an Amber Alert to locate her.
According to the Beaver Dam Police Department, a tip originating in Sarpy County, Nebraska, led to Franklin's discovery.
"Law enforcement made contact with a juvenile, who was with an adult male also matching the description of the male suspect she was identified leaving with, Gary Day," the department said. "Their identities were positively confirmed
A Texas father is speaking out after his 17-year-old son was fatally stabbed during a high school track meet, telling Fox News his life is "destroyed."
Austin Metcalf, a junior at Memorial High School in Frisco, was stabbed in the chest allegedly by 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, a student from another school. The altercation reportedly began as a seating dispute as the teams waited for the delayed competition to begin.
"My son is gone, and he'll never come home again," Austin’s father, Jeff Metcalf, said Thursday on "America Reports."
What started as an innocent and fun track meet between several Texas high schools on Wednesday took a senseless and violent turn as one student stabbed another after an altercation over a seat in the stands. Austin Metcalf, a standout football star in his own right, was attending the meet and sitting in the stands. The fight broke out after a student from another school, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, was told he was sitting in the wrong place in the stands. Anthony brandished a knife and stabbed Metcalf in the chest. Metcalf's twin brother, Hunter, was also there and tried to save his brother.
