Hunter Biden Meme Coin Torches Buyers as Mystery Trader Scores Nearly $1 Million [WATCH]

Hunter Biden’s new meme coin delivered a brutal lesson in crypto speculation Wednesday, with four out of five buyers losing money during a spectacular launch day collapse.

Meanwhile, one unidentified trader reportedly transformed a roughly $250,000 wager into $1.18 million within minutes.

Blockchain analysis conducted by Datavault AI found that a trader using a pseudonym acquired 9,124 of Biden’s $LAPTOP tokens.

That trader quickly sold 8,480 tokens for approximately $1.18 million, producing a gain of about $930,000 before transaction costs.

Other buyers were not nearly as fortunate. One investor poured roughly $200,000 into the token near its brief peak, only to watch that position shrivel to around $2,000 as the digital asset came crashing back to reality.

“That’s the tragedy in these coins,” Datavault AI CEO Nathaniel Bradley told The Post while discussing buyers who entered the market at the token’s eye popping early prices.

The frenzy created staggering gains for a select few while leaving most participants holding digital debris.

The token briefly climbed above $300 during its chaotic Wednesday debut before tumbling to only a few dollars.

That plunge erased more than 99 percent of its peak price within hours, proving once again that flashy branding cannot manufacture lasting value.

“To come out and say that a laptop coin is worth $300 is, in my opinion, fraudulent,” Bradley said.

He also described the episode as a “classic ‘rug pull.’”

That phrase typically refers to a cryptocurrency operation in which developers or insiders drain value from a project or abandon it.

Ordinary holders are then left with tokens worth only a fraction of what they paid while better positioned traders head for the exits.

There has been no official finding that Biden or the $LAPTOP project committed fraud or participated in such a scheme.

Datavault’s review also has not established that Biden personally sold any tokens during the dramatic collapse.

How much Biden may have earned from the launch, if anything, remains unknown.

That unanswered question is certain to follow the project, especially given the Biden family’s long history of attracting scrutiny over money, access, and overseas business relationships.

The project’s founders, including Biden, were expected to receive 30 percent of the total supply of one billion tokens, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Those founder tokens were reportedly scheduled to remain locked for six months and become fully available across two years.

That arrangement means the theoretical value of Biden’s allocation during the brief price explosion cannot be treated as cash he actually collected.

A paper valuation during a speculative frenzy is not the same thing as money deposited into a bank account.

WATCH:

Bradley said blockchain records should eventually allow analysts to track transactions involving $LAPTOP and calculate how much money reached wallets connected to the project’s principals.

Unlike Washington spin, blockchain activity can leave a public trail that becomes increasingly difficult to explain away.

“We will be able to see finitely exactly how much,” Bradley told The Post.

He added that his team had not completed the analysis required to attach a specific dollar amount to any personal proceeds Biden might have received.

The 56 year old son of former President Joe Biden launched $LAPTOP on Base, a blockchain developed by cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase.

Biden promoted the project with a message clearly designed to turn one of his family’s biggest political scandals into a marketing opportunity.

“They turned laptop into a weapon. I turned it into a token,” Biden wrote on X before the launch.

The line may have sounded clever to the Biden orbit, but the buyers who watched their money evaporate probably are not laughing.

The token is named after the laptop that became a major controversy during the 2020 presidential campaign.

The Post first reported on material from the device, including messages about Biden’s overseas business dealings and photographs documenting his drug use.

Now, the infamous laptop has inspired a token that briefly soared before collapsing in spectacular fashion.

ABC Reporter Whines About How Republicans Brand Democrats at the GOP Midterm Convention [WATCH]

ABC News reporter Averi Harper attended the Republican midterm convention Wednesday night and appeared troubled by what she heard.

Her concern was not over open borders, rising crime, or socialist candidates, but that Republicans were describing Democrats as radical leftists.

For millions of ordinary Americans watching the Democratic Party race toward socialism, the response is simple: “Yeah.” And?

Harper also worried that convention speakers were using the rise of progressive candidates to characterize the entire Democratic Party.

Apparently, noticing the obvious direction of a political organization now counts as unfair generalization inside the establishment media bubble.

The complaint would be more convincing if Democrats were not openly embracing socialist policies, radical cultural ideas, and lax border enforcement.

Republicans did not invent these positions in a campaign laboratory, since Democratic politicians routinely promote them before cheering crowds.

Harper said many speakers “are calling the” Democratic Party “radical and leftist,” with many “speaking to the rise of progressive and democratic socialist candidates that we’ve seen in places across the country,” while “painting the entire party with a broad brush.”

That broad brush complaint is especially rich coming from an ABC News journalist.

ABC is also home to The View, where Republican voters, President Trump, and conservative Americans are regularly portrayed with all the subtlety of a campaign commercial written by Democratic operatives.

Harper continued, “They’ve also spoken about issues pertaining to the border, issues pertaining to public safety, the notion of fighting for freedom, and patriotism have been among the themes that we’ve heard most often from the stage tonight.”

WATCH:

Those themes are hardly mysterious or extreme.

Border security, safe neighborhoods, individual liberty, and patriotism remain popular with Americans who do not spend their days trapped inside elite newsrooms or fashionable political circles.

The more revealing part of the report was Harper’s apparent discomfort with Republicans directly defining their political opponents.

Democrats and their media allies have spent years labeling Republicans, Trump supporters, parents, and traditional Americans with every ugly description available.

For a decade, much of the corporate press has treated President Trump and the Republican Party as targets rather than subjects.

Reporters who barely blink at sweeping attacks on conservatives suddenly discover journalistic restraint when Democrats are accurately described as moving sharply left.

Republicans at the convention highlighted progressive and democratic socialist candidates because those candidates increasingly influence the party’s priorities.

From government spending to public safety and immigration, the Democratic agenda has repeatedly drifted away from the concerns of working Americans.

Democratic candidates themselves have made this case easier by campaigning on ideas once confined to the party’s activist fringe.

Republicans are simply connecting those policies to the politicians promoting them, which is precisely what an opposition party is supposed to do during an election.

The convention also gave Republicans a national platform to emphasize freedom and patriotism without filtering their message through hostile media gatekeepers.

That was a smart political move, and the predictable newsroom frustration only demonstrates how effectively the message landed.

Liberal commentators will likely spend days objecting to the language, presentation, and speakers instead of addressing the substance.

They would rather police Republican adjectives than explain why Democratic officials keep embracing policies that voters recognize as radical.

The press can complain about broad brushes, but its own coverage of Trump and conservatives has been relentlessly broad for years.

Americans have watched one sided reporting, selective outrage, and obvious partisan framing become routine features of supposedly objective journalism.

The Republican event succeeded because it forced the contrast into plain view.

Conservatives spoke about secure borders, public safety, freedom, and love of country, while ABC worried that Democrats were being called leftists after years of acting exactly like leftists.

Deep State Receipts: Declassified FBI Notes Show Flynn Was the Target, Not the Criminal [WATCH]

Retired General Michael Flynn says he never would have accepted a 2018 plea agreement with Special Counsel Robert Mueller if federal authorities had disclosed the complete FBI evidence from his case.

Newly released records reveal notable differences between agents’ handwritten notes and the official interview summary used to support his prosecution.

“Had I seen that evidence that you have broken, no way in the world,” Flynn told the Just the News, No Noise television show.

His remarks came hours after President Donald Trump’s administration released fully unredacted versions of the FBI records.

The documents concern Flynn’s January 24, 2017, interview with FBI agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka.

Prosecutors later alleged that the former three star general lied during that interview about conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Handwritten notes taken by the agents do not always align with the typed summary placed into the FBI system more than 20 days later.

That official summary, known as an FD 302, eventually became a central piece of the government’s case against Flynn.

Flynn believes those differences tear apart the foundation of the false statements charge.

“In fact, they would have had no ground to stand on to charge me with anything, and they knew it. They knew it from the beginning,” he said.

Flynn’s defense team received redacted versions of some records roughly a year after his conviction and placed portions into the court record.

Wednesday marked the first time Flynn had reviewed the documents without the convenient black boxes that kept crucial information beyond his reach.

“There is a lot of new information that I was not aware of,” Flynn said.

He added that the FBI’s statements to the court “didn’t reflect hardly anything of what was actually the truth.”

Flynn said he pleaded guilty under crushing pressure because prosecutors were threatening to target his son.

“The background of the plea was because of you know the seriousness of what they were going to do going after my son for no reason at all,” he said.

President Trump pardoned Flynn in November 2020, and the Justice Department formally ended the prosecution.

Flynn nevertheless insists that the pardon does not erase what investigators and prosecutors did while pursuing the broader Russia collusion narrative.

“It’s not water under the bridge. It has to be exposed,” Flynn said.

“We have to bring these people to account.”

WATCH:

The White House Government Transparency Task Force released the Strzok and Pientka notes as federal prosecutors intensify a grand jury investigation.

That inquiry is examining whether the FBI’s Russia investigation became a criminal conspiracy designed to damage Trump and his allies during the 2016 election and its aftermath.

Strzok has denied wrongdoing in previous testimony and in a book defending the FBI investigation known as Crossfire Hurricane.

The newly public records, however, offer Americans the chance to compare what agents wrote during the interview with what later appeared in the polished FBI account.

Prosecutors claimed Flynn falsely denied asking Kislyak to avoid escalating tensions after the Obama administration imposed sanctions and expelled 35 Russian diplomats.

Pientka’s handwritten notes attributed a striking statement to Flynn during the interview: “Hey, don’t do anything.”

The official FBI summary presented Flynn’s response differently, stating that he did not remember discussing the expulsions or sanctions.

It quoted him as saying, “Not really. I don’t remember. It wasn’t, ‘Don’t do anything.’”

Pientka’s earlier handwritten version instead recorded Flynn saying, “Not really. I don’t remember. Hey don’t do anything.”

His notes also indicated there was no “long drawn out” discussion about the matter, but they did not show Flynn categorically denying any conversation with Kislyak.

The records also conflict over how many telephone calls Flynn remembered making while vacationing in the Dominican Republic.

The official summary said Flynn recalled four or five calls, while both agents’ handwritten notes indicated that he did not remember making that number.

Strzok’s notes quoted Flynn as saying, “If so, don’t remember. If so, busy place to make phone calls.”

Another handwritten notation similarly stated that Flynn did not remember making four or five calls and described the location as a poor place to call.

Flynn later sought to withdraw his guilty plea after hiring attorney Sidney Powell.

She argued that Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page altered the interview summary, and their publicly revealed text messages showed them discussing substantial edits before the document entered the bureau’s system.

Flynn filed a civil lawsuit in 2023 alleging malicious prosecution and political targeting because of his connection to Trump’s campaign.

After an earlier dismissal, he filed again following Trump’s return to office, and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department settled the case in March 2025 for approximately $1.2 million.

The latest disclosure gives fresh weight to Flynn’s argument that investigators possessed evidence that could have changed his decision before the plea.

It also raises another uncomfortable question for Washington’s permanent bureaucracy: who will answer for keeping that evidence hidden while a decorated general was branded a liar?

From “Conspiracy Theory” to Indictment: Feds Charge Los Angeles Skid Row Ballot Fraud Ring [WATCH]

Federal authorities arrested a California man accused of running a brazen petition fraud operation that allegedly paid homeless people in Los Angeles to forge signatures using the identities of registered voters.

The case is raising fresh concerns about election safeguards in a state notorious for loose voting rules.

James Brass, 47, also known as Lord, was taken into federal custody Thursday morning in Victorville, roughly 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

The Justice Department said Brass worked with two other defendants to qualify ballot initiatives for local elections through fraudulent signatures.

Courtney Price, 49, of Jacksonville, Florida, and Jateisha Herron, 33, of Boron, California, were also charged in the alleged operation.

All three face conspiracy to commit identity fraud in furtherance of a state felony, while Brass and Price face additional identity fraud charges.

WATCH:

FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital, “Securing American elections from criminal interference is of the utmost importance to this FBI.”

The bureau under Patel has repeatedly emphasized that election integrity investigations will remain a central enforcement priority.

Patel added, “For at least 6 months in 2026, these subjects were allegedly paying homeless people on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles to sign petitions in support of ballot initiatives, all using stolen identities of registered voters.”

“Election security will always be a top priority of this FBI,” Patel said.

That assurance comes as voters continue demanding accountability after years of being told that concerns about election fraud were somehow beyond polite discussion.

Federal prosecutors allege Brass managed a team of signature collectors and personally collected signatures as part of the operation.

Price and Herron allegedly worked for Brass, helping carry out a scheme that turned stolen voter information into petition signatures.

Authorities say the defendants obtained the identities of registered voters from a database between February and August.

That personal information was then allegedly handed to homeless people living around Skid Row, one of the largest concentrations of homelessness in the country.

The homeless participants were allegedly paid to sign ballot petitions using the names of those registered voters.

If prosecutors prove the claims, the operation did not merely cut corners, it treated voter identities as merchandise and vulnerable people as tools.

After signatures were collected, Brass and Herron allegedly signed declarations claiming they personally witnessed the listed voters sign the petitions.

Those declarations further asserted that each signature was, to the best of their knowledge, “the genuine signature of the person whose name it purports to be.”

WATCH:

Prosecutors say those representations were false and that the petitions were then submitted to petition coordinators.

Brass allegedly received $41,600 from one petition management company, showing how a system built around paid signatures can create lucrative incentives for fraud.

The allegations expose an obvious weakness in California’s political machinery.

When signature collectors are paid and verification is treated like an afterthought, bad actors have every reason to test just how asleep the gatekeepers may be.

Bill Essayli, first assistant United States attorney for the Central District of California, said the alleged conduct “undermines the confidence voters have in our election systems.”

He added that his office “will vigorously investigate and charge anyone involved in corrupting our elections.”

That confidence matters because ballot petitions can determine which measures reach voters and shape policy at both the local and state levels.

Fraudulent signatures can distort that process before citizens ever enter a voting booth, giving organized operators power that honest voters never authorized.

Each defendant faces as many as five years in federal prison per count if convicted.

Brass was expected to make his initial court appearance Thursday, while the allegations against Price and Herron will proceed through the federal court system.

The defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty, but the accusations present California officials with serious questions about identity protection and petition verification.

Voters deserve more than lectures about trusting the system, especially when federal agents are arresting people accused of exploiting it.

Vance Torches El Sayed and Foreign Flag-Waving Heckler in Rousing Defense of American Values [WATCH]

Vice President JD Vance turned the Republican National Convention in Dallas into a blunt preview of the coming midterm fight Thursday, hammering Democrats for abandoning what he called birthright American values.

The crowd heard a message centered on family, public safety, border control, and unapologetic national pride.

The speech also delivered an unscripted confrontation when a protester entered the arena waving a Mexican flag and tried to shout Vance down.

Rather than let security quietly handle the spectacle, Vance answered from the stage and turned the disruption into a vivid example of his case against the radical left.

“Well, my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your ass over there. I’ll buy you the plane ticket,” Vance told the protester.

Republicans inside the American Airlines Center erupted in cheers as security escorted the heckler from the arena.

Vance quickly recognized that the interruption had given him a better political illustration than any prepared line could provide.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I had a whole speech written, but I think I got to change it because we just discovered the symbol of the far left,” he said.

He described the protester as “an idiot waving … a Mexican flag at a protest when he should be waving the flag of the United States of America.”

It was a sharp moment that captured the mood of a party increasingly unwilling to apologize for expecting loyalty to the nation.

“Let’s send these lunatics packing and govern our country for the future,” Vance later declared.

The audience response suggested Republicans are eager for candidates who confront leftist theatrics instead of rewarding them with nervous silence and carefully polished consultant language.

Vance also spoke about the recent birth of his new son and linked his growing family to the administration’s broader agenda.

He argued that President Trump’s first 19 months had focused on making life more affordable, reducing violent crime, securing the border, and restoring common sense to Washington.

“To the radicals who wish to abolish my family and the thousands and millions of other families all across our country, we have a simple message for them: Stay the hell away from our kids,” Vance said.

The line placed parents and traditional families squarely at the center of the Republican appeal.

The vice president then turned his attention to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed, reopening a bitter dispute over comments involving second lady Usha Vance.

Vance accused the Democrat of suggesting that his late grandfather might have rejected Usha because she is an Indian American Hindu.

Vance said El Sayed had mockingly asked whether Usha would accompany him back in time to meet his grandfather, known in the family as Papaw.

According to Vance, the smear reduced a loving family relationship to race while revealing the ugly assumptions now routinely disguised as progressive enlightenment.

The attack was especially cynical, Vance argued, because El Sayed was raised in part by white step grandparents and therefore understands that genuine family bonds cross racial lines.

Yet the Democrat still portrayed Vance’s grandfather as someone incapable of embracing Usha.

“This is who the Democrats are now,” Vance said before describing them as “the Democrats are the party of hatred.”

He accused the modern party of despising America and those who built it, while reserving compassion for radicals and terrorists that it rarely extends to ordinary American families.

WATCH:

The dispute first boiled over during an August visit to Detroit, where Vance warned El Sayed to “keep my wife’s name the hell out of your mouth.”

WATCH:

Thursday’s speech made clear that Vance has no intention of allowing Democrats to drag his wife into their racial politics without receiving an answer.

Vance also addressed disagreements among conservatives over the Iran war, invoking the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk as an example of principled participation.

Kirk opposed war, Vance noted, but continued working within the conservative movement rather than surrendering the country to Democrats over one policy dispute.

“Do not throw the baby out with your bathwater,” Vance urged skeptical Republicans.

WATCH:

With a likely 2028 presidential campaign already looming, the 42 year old vice president used Dallas to present himself as a fighter for family, borders, national unity, and a Republican coalition focused on winning.

RFK Jr Eviscerates the Democrat Party in a Convention Speech for the Ages [WATCH]

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered one of the most memorable speeches of the Republican convention, dismantling the modern Democrat Party with the authority of someone who knew its former identity intimately.

This was not a routine partisan address, but a political family reckoning conducted before a captivated Republican audience.

Kennedy opened by noting that he is 72 years old and spent 70 of those years believing he would never address a Republican convention.

Given the Kennedy family legacy, Democrat conventions were once his natural political habitat.

He spoke about the party represented by his father, Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, President John F. Kennedy.

WATCH:

That party, Kennedy reminded the crowd, bore little resemblance to the radical operation now controlled by bureaucrats, activists, and ideological enforcers.

His uncle campaigned in 1960 on “tax cuts, strong defense, and fighting Communism.”

Those priorities would probably get a Democrat chased out of the party today, assuming the censorship squad did not silence him first.

Kennedy recalled when Democrats claimed to represent working Americans and defended the Bill of Rights.

They once celebrated “unbridled free speech,” rather than demanding that government officials and powerful corporations decide which opinions Americans were allowed to express.

His father and uncle opposed crony capitalism, but they also rejected socialism.

They believed in competition, meritocracy, and excellence, concepts that clash directly with a modern Democrat establishment obsessed with identity politics, government control, and equal outcomes.

WATCH:

Kennedy also explained that earlier Democrats understood the difference between “forever wars that they oppose and wars to protect our national security which we should never hesitate to defend.”

They promoted physical fitness, defended women’s sports, and opposed illegal immigration without pretending national borders were somehow immoral.

Then came COVID, when Kennedy said Democrats abandoned “every one of its essential values, its principles, and all of the policies that define my party.”

The political movement he once considered a defender of constitutional liberty instead “systematically obliterated the Bill of Rights.”

Kennedy detailed how government authorities pressured platforms to censor Americans who questioned pandemic mandates and official claims.

Rules restricting public assembly were imposed without sound scientific justification, while politicians treated basic constitutional rights like optional privileges.

Churches were closed, worship was restricted, and Americans were ordered to accept government intrusion into their private lives.

Kennedy also pointed to violations involving the Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Amendments, making clear that the assault extended far beyond speech.

“In a single year, my party obliterated 250 years of constitutional guarantees,” he asserted.

It was a devastating accusation because it came from a man whose family name was once nearly synonymous with the Democrat Party.

“The only right they left unscathed was the Second Amendment,” he stated.

He then delivered the unmistakable warning, “And probably because there is a Second Amendment.”

WATCH:

According to Kennedy, Democrats discarded their historic principles in favor of one consuming obsession, hatred of Donald Trump.

Free speech, due process, religious liberty, and electoral accountability were apparently negotiable as long as party leaders could keep feeding their resistance machine.

Kennedy said his father and uncle would not recognize what their party has become.

“It struck me that this was no longer about left and right. It was about sane and insane; it was about common sense and Communism,” Kennedy stated.

WATCH:

He also mocked the party behind the “No Kings” slogan by noting that its leaders “simply appointed a queen” without allowing primary voters to choose their nominee.

WATCH:

Nothing says defending democracy quite like removing the voters and calling the result democratic.

One of the speech’s most personal moments came when Kennedy described President Trump calling him within hours of being shot.

That conversation helped Kennedy realize that the portrait created by the mainstream media was false, another carefully manufactured narrative from institutions that demand trust while repeatedly burning it.

WATCH:

Kennedy’s address landed because it was grounded in history, personal experience, and the undeniable transformation of the Democrat Party.

Republicans heard a member of America’s most famous Democrat family explain why common sense, constitutional liberty, and national strength now find a more welcoming home on the right.

Maria Bartiromo Breaks Her Silence After Fox Exit and Promises More to Come

Maria Bartiromo is finally speaking publicly after reports that the longtime Fox News and Fox Business anchor parted ways with the networks following more than a decade on the air.

Her message was brief, grateful, and clearly designed to signal that her career is far from finished.

Initial reports alleged that Fox fired Bartiromo after network executives blocked an election integrity segment.

That account quickly triggered outrage among viewers who regarded her as one of the few major television journalists willing to challenge the comfortable narratives pushed by corporate media gatekeepers.

Bartiromo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, strongly disputed claims that she had been fired or was no longer employed by Fox.

Freedman called those reports “absolutely and unequivocally false” and said her legal team has evidence and witnesses supporting its position.

The controversy grew after reports claimed Bartiromo shared internal Fox communications with the Trump White House.

Those messages reportedly showed network officials instructing staff not to amplify claims about the 2020 election that President Trump discussed during a recent speech.

White House adviser Peter Navarro confirmed key parts of that account.

According to Navarro, Bartiromo booked him for an appearance the following morning, but Fox executives killed the planned coverage before it could reach viewers.

Navarro said Bartiromo then forwarded him a producer message that made the decision official.

The communication, attributed to Fox Business programming chief Ralph Giordano, instructed staff not to promote the speech and not to air segments about the 2020 election on Thursday or Friday.

That sequence raises obvious questions about how much control corporate executives exercise over editorial decisions at Fox.

Apparently, even discussing election concerns became too dangerous for a network that spent years marketing itself as an alternative to the liberal press.

WATCH:

President Trump reacted with disbelief when news broke that Bartiromo would no longer host her programs.

He praised her professionalism, her ratings success, and her willingness to keep fighting when other television personalities preferred safer political scripts.

“I can’t believe Maria Bartiromo is no longer going to have her great show(s) on FoxNews/Business. Three different shows, always number one Maria is a total professional, and a true warrior. Her fans, of which there are many, will not be happy. God bless you, Maria! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Bartiromo broke her silence Thursday with a message directed at friends, followers, and loyal viewers.

She thanked supporters for the flood of encouraging words and paired her post with a photograph of a rainbow breaking through the sky.

“Thank you to all friends & followers for your amazing words I am so grateful for the outpouring of love. I love you all. here’s a great shot of the breaking through, I snapped the other day. More to come,”

The final three words immediately caught attention.

Bartiromo offered no specific announcement, but her promise suggested that she expects to return in some form rather than quietly disappear while network executives move on to safer and more predictable programming.

John Solomon, founder of Just the News, reported that Bartiromo remains under contract with Fox.

He said she is expected to receive compensation through 2029 under an arrangement requiring the network to pay her even if it chooses not to put her on the air.

That distinction could explain why Bartiromo’s lawyer rejected reports that she was fired.

A personality can remain legally employed and compensated while still being removed from programming, an arrangement that lets corporate executives silence a voice without immediately terminating the contract.

Fox has not publicly resolved the competing accounts surrounding Bartiromo’s status.

The unresolved details involve whether she voluntarily parted ways with the networks, was removed from her programs, or remains contractually attached while being kept away from viewers.

For Bartiromo’s audience, the legal terminology matters less than the practical result.

A popular host who regularly questioned establishment narratives is suddenly absent, while the network appears increasingly nervous about airing discussions that might upset the political and media class.

Bartiromo built her reputation through decades of financial and political reporting, and her Trump friendly coverage earned a fiercely loyal audience.

That following gives her options beyond traditional cable television, particularly as independent platforms continue attracting Americans who have lost trust in corporate newsrooms.

Her message made one point unmistakable.

Whatever happened behind closed doors at Fox, Bartiromo does not sound like someone preparing for retirement, and her supporters will be watching closely for whatever comes next.

The Chart Democrats Don’t Want You to See: Trump’s Real Income Gains Crush Bidenomics [WATCH]

PatriotDadEV2.0 argued that rising gasoline and diesel prices are dominating economic discussions ahead of the midterm elections while overlooking what he described as improving real household income.

Pointing to a chart comparing real median household income during President Donald Trump’s first term, former President Joe Biden’s administration, and Trump’s current term, PatriotDadEV2.0 said voters should consider income growth after inflation when assessing the economy.

“So this might be one of the most important graphs that you’re going to want to have at your fingertips as you go out and start discussing the state of politics with your friends and family and neighbors and stuff between now and the midterm elections, because this actually shows what’s being built in this country right now,” PatriotDadEV2.0 said.

He acknowledged that fuel costs have become a significant concern, citing reports of gasoline reaching $4.79 per gallon in Idaho while saying prices in coastal Alabama remained at $3.69 per gallon.

“I mean, look, I get it. Gas prices are doing some absolutely bonkers things right now,” he said.

PatriotDadEV2.0 attributed diesel prices to the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, while linking gasoline prices to developments involving Iran.

He also criticized Europe and NATO over the continuation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

He argued that instability surrounding Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is also contributing to current conditions.

According to PatriotDadEV2.0, Iran’s currency is rapidly losing value as the country faces continued economic problems.

“So yeah, gas prices are going bonkers, but question for you, though: You’re paying $4.79 up in Idaho, God knows what you’re paying in California, who knows what it is in other parts of the, what the hell are you doing in those states? Down here in coastal Alabama, it’s $3.69 a gallon still,” he said.

Despite those fuel costs, PatriotDadEV2.0 said gasoline prices do not provide a complete picture of Americans’ financial circumstances.

“Nonetheless, doesn’t matter. I get it. It’s not fun, but it’s also not the full story,” he said.

PatriotDadEV2.0 said discussions on social media have emphasized gasoline prices while conversations between individuals are increasingly focused on income growth.

He argued that incomes are currently increasing faster than inflation.

“This is the story that people are starting to talk about: the fact that their incomes are growing at a pace faster than what inflation is,” he said.

He then turned to the chart comparing real median household income across presidential administrations. PatriotDadEV2.0 said the measurement accounts for inflation, allowing income changes during different periods to be compared.

“What this chart is showing you is a cohorted view of Trump 45, the entire Biden administration, and so far the progress in real median household income increases in Trump 47,” he said.

According to the figures cited by PatriotDadEV2.0, real median household income increased by $569 during the Biden administration, compared with $6,640 during Trump’s first term.

He said the figure has increased by $1,964 so far during Trump’s current term after accounting for a 3.4% inflation rate.

“Now, if you look very close here, what you’re going to see is that the entirety of the Biden administration, the American people only experienced a $569 real household income increase over the entire four years,” PatriotDadEV2.0 said.

“Throughout Trump 45, the American people experienced a $6,640 real median household income increase, and so far, in Trump 47, $1,964 in real median household income increase after taking into consideration the the 3.4% inflation rate.”

The historical comparison broadly resembles an analysis published by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, which estimated approximately $6,400 in real median household income growth during Trump’s first term and $550 during Biden’s term.

The Census Bureau’s official annual household-income series uses a different methodology and reported real median household income of $83,730 in 2024.

PatriotDadEV2.0 said his figures mean real median household income growth during Trump’s current term has already substantially exceeded the increase he attributed to the four years of the Biden administration.

“So far in Trump 47, the median real household income, meaning income that you keep after inflation is taken out of it, is three and a half times that that you experienced all throughout the Biden administration,” he said.

He concluded by predicting that household finances would improve further if international tensions subside, specifically pointing to the IRGC and what he called the “British imperialist system.”

“Imagine what’s going to happen to your household income when the IRGC and the British imperialist system run out of leverage of the midterm election, and after the election is over, they just go away,” PatriotDadEV2.0 said.

“That is if they survive that long.”

Markwayne Mullin Confirms Ilhan Omar Allegations Are Part of Ongoing Fraud Investigation [WATCH]

Markwayne Mullin said an investigation is underway into allegations involving Rep. Ilhan Omar and possible immigration fraud, telling Benny Johnson that investigators are examining more than the longstanding claim that Omar married her brother to facilitate his entry into the United States.

Johnson asked Mullin directly what would happen as authorities examine the allegations surrounding Omar.

“Okay, well, what’s going to happen, Mr. Secretary?” Johnson asked.

“Something’s going to happen. This is an ongoing investigation,” Mullin responded.

Mullin said investigators are looking at allegations involving Omar’s marriage as well as what he described as possible illegal activity connected to the family’s migration to the United States.

He stressed during the exchange that the allegations remain under investigation.

“We, we know that she married her, her brother to try to bring him into the United States. We know he lives now in London. We feel that this may, you know, there’s even may more be, there may be more to this, the whole family migration and possibly some illegal activity for them to come to the United States to begin with. But all of this is what we’re investigating,” Mullin said.

The allegation that Omar married her brother has circulated for years. Omar has denied it, and publicly available evidence has not established that her former husband was her biological brother. Recent reporting has indicated that federal immigration authorities have withheld records related to the allegations under an exemption covering information that could interfere with enforcement proceedings. (Just The News)

Mullin said authorities want any case they ultimately bring to rest on evidence of violations rather than politics.

“Here’s what I want to make sure we do. If we actually move a case forward, it’s not a political case; it’s actual a case because they did things wrong,” Mullin said.

He then described the consequences he said could follow if investigators establish that someone lied on immigration documents or provided false information when seeking entry into the country.

“If you decided to break the law or lie on your, on the information you gave the United States to be able to come into the United States through either asylum or because you were just wanting to seek a better life, but you didn’t tell us who you actually were, you lied about certain things about your application, those things, there’s no expiration to that,” Mullin said.

Mullin said deportation would follow if authorities can prove someone was not legally entitled to be in the country.

“If we can prove it that then you shouldn’t have been here in the first place, we’ll deport you,” he said.

According to Mullin, investigators are examining other cases with circumstances they believe may involve fraud from the beginning of the immigration process.

He said the investigation therefore extends beyond the allegations surrounding Omar.

“And so we’re looking at, it’s more than just her case, we’re looking at a lot of cases that are very similar to this that we feel like there may have been fraud from the get-go,” Mullin said.

Mullin repeatedly emphasized that he viewed the matter as one of law enforcement rather than political retaliation. He said any action would be based on whether investigators could establish that federal law had been violated.

“But when we move forward, it’s not political, it’s because you chose to break the nation’s laws,” Mullin said.

He concluded by saying immigration laws should be enforced without exceptions based on an individual’s identity or political position.

“I don’t make the laws anymore. I’m in charge of enforcing the laws, and I will not pick and choose which laws I’m going to enforce and which laws I’m not,” Mullin said.

“I’m going to enforce all of them, regardless of who you are, regardless if you’re Omar or you’re some other individual in that community. We’re going to enforce it equally.”

Ted Cruz Declares War on the Islamist-Communist Axis Inside the Democrat Party [WATCH]

Sen. Ted Cruz warned that what he called a “new and dangerous red-green alliance” between communists and Islamists is gaining influence within the Democratic Party, arguing that the two movements are united by opposition to Christianity, Judaism, capitalism, the Constitution and the United States.

Cruz began his remarks by invoking the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the killing of Charlie Kirk and the assassination attempts against President Donald Trump. He argued that the same type of hatred behind acts of political and ideological violence continues to intensify.

“9/11. Could anyone have imagined that Comrade Mandami would be the mayor of New York? The hate that killed Charlie Kirk, that knocked down the Twin Towers, that led to two assassination attempts on President Trump, it just keeps getting worse and worse,” Cruz said.

He then described the political alliance he believes is developing within the Democratic Party.

“And we are witnessing a new and dangerous red-green alliance: communists and Islamists coming together and sweeping over the Democrat Party,” Cruz said. “They are united because they share the same enemies. They hate Christians. They hate Jews. They hate capitalism. They hate the Constitution, and they hate America.”

Cruz’s remarks centered on his argument that communists and Islamists have different ideological foundations but can find common ground through shared political opponents.

The Texas senator then turned to his own family history in Cuba, explaining that his opposition to communism is rooted in what his relatives experienced under communist rule.

“It gives me no pleasure to say this. For me and my family, communism is not abstract or theoretical. My family has bled and has been imprisoned and tortured by communists in Cuba,” Cruz said.

Cruz used historical examples from communist governments around the world to support his characterization of the ideology as inherently oppressive.

“That’s what communists do, from the frozen gulags of the Soviet Union to Chairman Mao’s driving nails through the eyes of Christians, from the killing fields of Cambodia to the starvation and misery of North Korea, and Venezuela, and Nicaragua, and Cuba,” he said.

Cruz then shifted his focus from communism to Islamism, drawing a distinction through his use of the term while arguing that Islamist systems have also produced violence and oppression.

“And Islamism likewise produces murder and oppression, from the forced wearing of hijabs to the stoning of rape victims, from the systematic murder of homosexuals to honor killings and the barbarism of October 7th and 9/11,” Cruz said.

His speech placed those arguments within a broader warning about the political direction of the Democratic Party.

Cruz contended that communists and Islamists are increasingly cooperating despite their ideological differences because they share common enemies.

His “red-green alliance” characterization was also the central theme of reporting on his remarks, with coverage of the Republican convention describing Cruz as accusing the Democratic Party of being overtaken by an alliance of communists and Islamists. (ABC News)

Cruz’s comments ultimately moved from his warning about the Democratic Party to the place of Sharia law in the United States. He concluded the portion of his remarks by making his position explicit.

“Hear me now. Sharia law has no place in America.”
