Ex-FBI Director James Comey Rants About Daughter’s Termination from the DOJ

Former FBI Director James Comey went on an unhinged rant after his daughter Maurene was fired from her position as a federal prosecutor for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). While it was unclear why she was fired, they both blamed President Trump for the termination.

During the tirade posted on his Substack page, Comey characterized his daughter and other Department of Justice employees as trusted and impartial outsiders who were not affiliated with any political party. 

“They’re believed because, when they speak, they aren’t seen as Republicans or Democrats,” he said. “Instead, they’re seen as something separate and apart in American life—a group of people just trying to do the right thing.”

However, Comey’s daughter immediately contradicted his words by attacking the president using the classic jabs that the left has repeatedly used to smear Trump.

“Yesterday was unexpectedly my last day in the office. I was summarily fired via memo from Main Justice that did not give a reason for my termination,” she wrote, according to a letter her father read.

“But we have entered a new phase where without fear may be the challenge. If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain. Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.”

Comey echoed his daughter’s sentiments, directly attacking Trump and other DOJ top officials, accusing them of trying to turn the Department of Justice into Trump’s empire. 

“Trump and the hacks who lead the Department of Justice are hammering at the dam day after day, trying to turn it into just another gold-leaf-covered Trump subsidiary.”

“Our best hope is that good people will stay and do what Maureen asked—have the courage to do the right thing, always. You may get fired for acting that way, but there’s honor in that—and nothing but disgrace for those who don’t stand up.”

During his campaigns, Trump had promised to deweaponize the Department of Justice and the FBI to ensure they focus on fighting crime instead of persecuting political enemies.

Over 35 DOJ staff members who worked with disgraced former Special Counsel Jack Smith have lost their jobs, and 15 more may be terminated. They include two prosecutors in North Carolina and Florida. 

Some vocal conservative voices fighting for the release of Epstein files, including Laura Loomer,  had asked AG Bondi to fire Maureen, whose husband, Lucas Issacharoff, is reportedly a Trump-hating DOJ employee. 

According to Loomer, Comey’s son-in-law works as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York. He previously worked with the law firm Susman Godfrey LLP, which President Trump has blacklisted for allegedly participating in anti-Trump lawfare.

“This comes 2 months after my pressure campaign on Pam Blondi to fire Comey’s daughter and Comey’s son in law from the DOJ,” Loomer posted on X.

Meanwhile, Comey is under investigation for a bogus report linking Trump to the Russian election interference hoax and a cryptic Instagram post that seemed to call for the assassination of President Trump.

Joe Rogan Breaks Silence on Why He Finally Interviewed Trump

World-renowned podcaster Joe Rogan recently explained why he agreed to interview then-former president Donald J. Trump. Rogan was appearing on the ‘Ultimate Human’ podcast when he spilled the beans.

Trump’s “Joe Rogan Experience interview” shifted the support of a significant number of Americans, particularly younger voters, in the president’s favor. According to Trump, the idea of appearing on Joe Rogan was his youngest son Barron’s idea. 

However, Rogan was not keen on interviewing Trump, who was then labeled the greatest threat to Western Democracy, and Trump did not even know the podcaster.

“My son Barron recommended me to go on Joe Rogan and all these podcasters,” Trump said. “He knew all the names. I said ‘who is that?’ He said ‘Dad, I can’t believe you don’t know who this is.”

Trump’s Rogan interview went on to become one of the most-watched videos worldwide, amassing nearly 60 million views on YouTube. It also exposed the hypocrisy of the left after Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris refused to appear for a similar interview. 

To save face, Kamala blamed scheduling conflicts. However, Rogan disclosed that the Democratic candidate refused to accept his terms, which included having no campaign staff present during the interview. 

It is highly unlikely that Kamala could candidly discuss serious issues like border security as Trump did without reading from a script. Sunny Hostin even admitted that she may have regretfully sabotaged Kamala Harris’s campaign by asking a basic question on Hostin’s show “The View” about which issues the former Vice President would handle differently from Biden.

Rogan talked about why he decided to finally interview Trump:

“Well, there was a bunch of things that happened,” Rogan said. “First of all, there was the lawfare. There was these lawsuits that they were trying to pin on him.”

Rogan explained that the blatant persecution of Trump, cheered on by the lynch mob, and based on made-up charges regarding a “bookkeeping error” that was past the statute of limitations, was not fair.

“They were trying to convict him and turn him into a felon, and they were doing it so blatantly and obviously. The case with the bookkeeping error or the bookkeeping, whatever it was. The misdemeanor that they had charged him with 34 felonies for, which isn’t even a felony. It’s a misdemeanor, and it’s also past the statute of limitations. None of it made any sense. And people were cheering it on. ‘He’s a convicted felon.’”

The attempted assassination of Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally also weighed heavily in Rogan’s decision to interview the then-former president. Leftist media bias further pushed Rogan to step up and offer a level playing field for all candidates.

“There’s no real conversations with him where you’re just treating him like a human being,” he added. “Like everything, he’s being grilled and then everything’s taken out of context and I’m seeing him being taken out of context on the campaign trail and like it was just gross. It was just so anti-American.”

AOC’s 2028 Dreams Derailed as New Poll Shows Support Crumbling

AOC’s 2028 Dreams Derailed as New Poll Shows Support Crumbling

New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has suffered another major setback in her dreams to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in 2028.

According to a new poll from Echelon Insights, conducted between July 10–14, a familiar cluster of names have emerged atop the list of preferred candidates for Democratic primary voters.

The most preferred candidate is currently Vice President Kamala Harris, garnering support from 26 percent of respondents.

However, Harris’ figures slipped six percentage points compared to the poll’s previous result.

In second place was former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with 11 percent, up a single percentage point from the last survey.

Both Harris and Buttigieg have polled as frontrunners across a number of pollsters throughout the early weeks and months of President Donald Trump’s second term.

The biggest winner was California Governor Gavin Newsom.

According to the latest Echelon Insights poll, Newsom was named the preferred candidate by 10 percent of respondents.

That figure is up five percentage points from the previous result and comes as the far-left governor has embarked on a podcast tour aimed at portraying himself as a moderate.

In fourth place was Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), with seven percent.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez came in fifth place with just six percent of the vote.

This represents a decline of two percent from the previous survey, and comes as pro-communist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani found himself under the national spotlight.

Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as one of Mamdani’s primary benefactors and has held multiple rallies in support of his candidacy.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro received support from four percent of Democratic primary respondents.

Shapiro is widely perceived as a moderate and has enjoyed high favorability ratings in the key swing state.

Others included Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and businessman Mark Cuban — each of whom received three percent of the vote.

Governors Andy Beshear (Kentucky) and JB Pritzker (Illinois), both of whom have signaled serious interest in a White House bid, each received two percent, as did Senators Chris Murphy (D-CT) and John Fetterman (D-PA).

Meanwhile, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Daily Show host Jon Stewart, and longtime ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith each received one percent of the vote.

Obama-Appointed Judge Delivers Second Amendment Win

From Daily Caller News Foundation Reporter Ireland Owens

A District Court judge ruled on Tuesday that California should allow non-residents to apply for concealed carry weapons (CCWs) licenses.

Cathy Ann Bencivengo, a U.S. District Court judge for the Southern District of California, issued an order which granted summary judgment after finding the state’s “provisions barring nonresidents from applying for CCW licenses violate the Constitution.” The plaintiffs in the case, who are not California residents, complained that they have been prohibited from carrying a firearm for self-defense when they visit the state, according to Bencivengo’s order.

“Opening the application process to nonresidents does not limit California’s ability to regulate who receives a CCW license based on other measured parameters,” according to the order. “Nonresidents are simply afforded the same chance guaranteed to residents to exercise their Second Amendment rights.”

The lawsuit’s plaintiffs are members of the Firearms Policy Coalition, a gun rights organization. The group describes its mission as restoring “the essential right to keep and bear arms throughout the U.S.”

Bencivengo wrote in her order that the parties in the lawsuit are required to “meet and confer and submit a proposed order for an injunction consistent with this order within 30 days.”

Former President Barack Obama nominated Bencivengo in May 2011, and the Senate confirmed her in February 2012. The Firearms Policy Coalition did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Megyn Kelly Says Pam Bondi’s Time in Trump Admin Is Almost Over After Epstein Fallout

Megyn Kelly Says Pam Bondi’s Time in Trump Admin Is Almost Over After Epstein Fallout

Megyn Kelly weighed in on the ongoing fiasco with the DOJ and the Jeffrey Epstein case by predicting that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s days in the Trump administration are “numbered.”

Kelly slammed Bondi, describing the debacle as the worst-ever rollout of information by the DOJ.

She also noted that nothing new—especially relating to a supposed “client list”—has been released since Trump took office.

“Just look at the influencer thing. Just take a step back,” Kelly said.

“What kind of an attorney general would pretend she’s giving new information to some of the president’s most loyal advocates in the press? You know, buying ink by the barrel.”

Watch:

“Either Pam Bondi knew she was about to embarrass some of his most loyal surrogates out there, and did that willingly, or she didn’t take the time to make sure what was in those binders,” Kelly said.

“She was too lazy to actually figure out none of this is new,” Kelly emphasized.

“And yet she called a meeting with the influencers that included Kash Patel, the head of the FBI, and the sitting vice president,” the host continued.

“So she’s either lazy and incompetent or she willingly humiliated some of the president’s most loyal supporters. Neither one of those is good. And that’s why, I’m sorry, but I’m going to predict her days are numbered as a member of the Trump administration,” Kelly posited.

Bondi has indeed presented herself as uninterested when it comes to the Epstein case—widely regarded as one of the biggest coverups in history.

The host also took aim at both Bondi and Trump’s recent response to a reporter who asked a question about the Epstein case yesterday, noting: “Good grief. That was no bueno, guys. That was no bueno, OK?”

“What is she saying?” Kelly asked of Bondi.

“She’s nervous. And the truth is not her friend, for whatever reason.”

Watch:

Interestingly, Democrats have now become very interested in the Epstein case, despite having done nothing to progress it while in power for four years.

Racist Black Woman Not Bothered by White Girls Dying in Flash Flood

They say nothing is certain but death and taxes. In the 2020s, we can add social media cruelty to the list. No tragedy goes by without finding allegedly sane and normal Americans talking about how the people who died deserved it. The pastime really took off during the alleged COVID pandemic, when it became common to see people on Twitter or Instagram hoping that their neighbors or fellow citizens would die alone and wretched (for refusing to take the vaccines that didn’t work). 

This article from Ohio State News in 2023 puts it this way in the headline:

“How people judge anti-vaxxers who die from COVID-19—

Some believe those who reject vaccines deserve worse outcomes”

“Worse outcomes,” of course, means those people hoped that vaccine refusers would die for their “sin.” The article itself insisted on calling people who refused the COVID vaccine “anti-vaxxers,” as if all such people were deranged and wanted all vaccines pulled off the market. And it edged delicately around the ugly truth that it was leftists and Democrats who wanted Republicans to die. 

“While very few rejoice in the deaths of anti-vaxxers, some people believe those who are dogmatic against vaccines are deserving of worse outcomes – and that reaction is related to the political party affiliation and vaccination status of the person evaluating the anti-vaxxer,” author Jeff Grabmeier wrote. 

A handful of writers tried to point out how inhumane people had become to each other. This one from the site theconversation.com urged people to stop “shaming” others who decided not to get the vaccination. But if the argument has to be made, the people are already lost. 

None of this compares to the depravity that’s erupted on social media since the tragic flash floods in Kerrville, Texas, over the weekend of July 5 through 6. More than 100 people are already known to be dead. Tragically, at least 27 young girls and teenage camp counselors from the Camp Mystic summer camp for girls are dead, and more are still missing. 

But according to the woman who posted this commentary, the camp was “whites only,” and that the girls deserved it because they were at a racist camp. The camp was not, of course, “whites only.” 

As you can imagine, life turned pretty dire for the formerly unknown social media user. 

Let’s see what users on X/Twitter had to say:

Trump’s EPA Ends Animal Testing Nightmare — Launches Lab Animal Adoption Program

President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now approved a program for putting retired laboratory animals up for adoption after phasing out cruel and outdated animal testing.

Lab animals will now be put up for adoption, following months of discussion with the non-profit White Coat Waste. Internal EPA documents obtained by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) confirmed the plan to the taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste, which has been tirelessly exposing and dismantling government-funded animal torture.

PEER said in a press release: “There are approximately 20,000 animals in EPA labs, including rabbits, mice, and rats, which are primarily used to gauge the safety of environmental pollutants. The adoption program, which is debuting at EPA’s Research Triangle complex in North Carolina, is now offering zebrafish and rats for private adoption.”

Anthony Bellotti, President and Founder of White Coat Waste, praised the plan:

“Reinstating the EPA’s animal testing phase-out and its lab animal retirement policy has been a top priority for White Coat Waste since day one of the new Trump Administration. We applaud President Trump and EPA Administrator Zeldin for keeping their promise to taxpayers and pet owners.

White Coat Waste worked with the first Trump Administration to eliminate tests on dogs, rabbits, and all other mammals by 2035 and to retire animal testing survivors. When the Biden Administration secretly revoked the 2035 deadline and killed rabbits slated for retirement, we blew the whistle—not the legacy animal groups who stayed silent while the killing resumed behind closed doors.

White Coat Waste led the only bipartisan campaign that united Congressional Republicans and Democrats to pass legislation directing the EPA to restore its phase-out timeline and retirement plans. From the beginning of the Trump Administration to today, White Coat Waste has been leading the campaign to cut EPA’s wasteful spending and to retire EPA’s lab survivors. We’re proud of our hard-fought win—and we won’t stop until the last animal is out.”

The decision to end animal testing stems from a push initiated under President Donald Trump’s first term but was later squashed by the Biden administration. Under the first Trump administration’s EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler, the agency set a goal of a 30% reduction in mammal testing by 2025 and a complete phase-out by 2035, The Gateway Pundit reported.

It was the most ambitious federal effort ever to stop bankrolling animal experiments and was backed by millions of Americans who’d rather see their tax dollars fund pet adoptions than animal cruelty.

Biden’s EPA quietly scrapped the plan, a 2023 WCW investigation found. WCW also discovered that Biden’s EPA was forcing animals to choke on simulated wildfire smoke and gunpowder fumes in the name of studying “environmental justice.” Rabbits were slaughtered after their “service,” even though the organization offered to rehome them.

Dana Nessel Sues President Donald Trump To Keep Illegal Immigrants On Medicaid

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wants to protect illegal immigrants using taxpayer-funded Medicaid, so she’s suing President Donald Trump for exposing them. Nessel joined a coalition of blue states in a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ decision to provide Medicaid data to the Department of Homeland Security tasked with immigration enforcement.

“Dana Nessel is suing to KEEP illegal immigrants on Medicaid,” Sen. Aric Nesbitt, a Lawton Republican running for governor, posted to X. “Looks like she wants to continue her losing streak.”  In June, DHHS sent information on non-citizens enrolled in Medicaid in California, Illinois, Washington state and Washington, D.C. to “to ensure that Medicaid benefits are reserved for individuals who are lawfully entitled to receive them,” department spokesman Andrew Nixon told The Associated Press.
Data from the House Energy and Commerce Committee on “waste, fraud, and abuse” in Medicaid shows there’s 1.4 million illegal immigrants enrolled, 1.2 million recipients who are ineligible, and 4.8 million able bodied adults choosing not to work.

Fed Reserve Chair Jerome Powell Accused of Lying to Congress Over $2.5B “Palace of Versailles” HQ Revamp

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is under fire following accusations that he misled Congress about the extent and extravagance of a controversial $2.5 billion renovation of the Fed’s Washington, D.C. headquarters. Critics, including lawmakers and former Federal Reserve insiders, are now demanding accountability after Powell’s sworn testimony appeared to contradict government planning documents.

During a Senate Banking Committee hearing last week, Powell was grilled over The Post’s April exposé, which revealed a bloated renovation project some have compared to the “Palace of Versailles.” Under intense questioning, Powell rejected the portrayal as “misleading and inaccurate.” “There’s no VIP dining room, there’s no new marble. There are no special elevators,” Powell testified. “There are no new water features, there’s no beehives, and there’s no roof terrace gardens.”

However, planning documents submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission in 2021 — and not revised since — appear to directly refute Powell’s claims. One excerpt notes, “The private dining rooms on Level 4 (of the Fed’s Eccles building) will be restored,” while another confirms, “The Governors’ private elevator will be extended to discharge at the dining suite level.” Additional plans specify “vegetated roof terraces” designed to attract “urban wildlife and pollinators,” along with mentions of new marble installations and water features.

Andrew T. Levin, a Dartmouth economics professor who served at the Fed for two decades, didn’t mince words about Powell’s testimony. “A top Fed official cannot be permitted to make false statements under oath at a congressional hearing,” Levin stated. “Such statements must be promptly corrected, and in egregious cases, subject to censure by the Senate.”

Republican lawmakers echoed those sentiments. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, slammed Powell for being “clearly not prepared for his testimony, and should be embarrassed.”

“He made a number of factually inaccurate statements to the Committee regarding the Fed’s plush private dining room and elevator, skylights, water features, and roof terrace,” Lummis told The Post. “This is typical of the mismanagement and ‘don’t bother me’ attitude that Chair Powell has always shown.”

The Federal Reserve has declined to comment on the controversy, further fueling criticism over transparency and accountability. Adding to the firestorm is the skyrocketing cost of the Fed’s headquarters overhaul, which has jumped 30% from its original $1.9 billion estimate to a staggering $2.5 billion. Powell appeared to brush off concerns about fiscal discipline during his testimony, stating simply, “The cost overruns are what they are.”

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), chair of the Senate Banking Committee, criticized the project as “luxury upgrades that feel more like they belong in the Palace of Versailles,” signaling growing impatience among lawmakers over what they perceive as government excess.

The Fed’s renovation splurge is drawing heightened scrutiny due to the institution’s current financial woes.

Kathy Griffin or Pennywise the Clown? You Decide

If you stick around Hollywood long enough, especially as a woman, people will always start to poke fun at your aging. “What happened to her?” people ask, when they see a 75-year-old Ann Wilson (of the band Heart) tottering onstage under extra weight and unkempt gray hair. Well, getting older is what happens, but there’s a limit. 

Comedienne Kathy Griffin appears to have found that limit. Twitter is abuzz this week with “fresh” pictures of the controversial performer walking around in full sunlight wearing a T-shirt promoting her show. Hard, direct lighting from the sun is unkind to women of a certain age for sure, but there seems to be more going on. 

Griffin appears to have gotten her facelift from an embalmer. Comedian Terrence K. Williams has a happy-go-lucky manner that works well to sell his Cousin T’s line of pancake mix, but even he had a hard time staying nice. “Kathy Griffin-girl!” he said through laughter. “What in the world-wh-what happened to you? Girl, Kathy, did you look in the mirror before you walked outside? 

Do take a look. The press oddly frames these grisly photos as due to Griffin being “makeup free,” but if you take a look, she’s got it absolutely caked on. It just doesn’t make any difference. 

It’s not clear that a mirror would have helped, given that vampires do not cast reflections. Maybe it was the sunlight-a known undead allergy that did this to her face? Truth be told, Miss Griffin has been looking a fright for a few years. No one can know for sure, but it seems likely that the common plagues of female celebrity—anorexia, plastic surgery, neuroticism—are taking their toll on what’s left of Griffin.

Looking a fright isn’t the only thing, of course, that has put Kathy Griffin the news. The stand-up comic has long been known for bitchy, acid commentary and gossip-related jokes. She’s a bit like a downmarket version of the late legend Joan Rivers. But Griffin’s grotesque photoshoot protest against Donald Trump will be the thing she’s most remembered for. In 2017, a year after Trump took office for the first time, she posed for a photograph holding a realistic dummy of Trump’s decapitated head, dripping with blood. National Public Radio had a “look-back.”

Here’s a sampling of the Twitter/X reaction to Terrence William’s short video on the matter:
