In Hunter Biden’s recent interview with Andrew Callaghan, he flew off the handle over left-wing actor George Clooney, as well as others, who criticized his father during the 2024 presidential election.

“F*** him. F*** him. F*** him and everybody around him.” Biden said. “I don’t have to be f***ing nice.”

“No. 1, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. F***ing George Clooney is not a f***ing an actor…He’s a brand,” he continued. “F*** you. What do you have to do with f***ing anything? Why do I have to f***ing listen to you? What right do you have to step on a man who’s given 52 years of f***ing life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out a four-page ad in the f***ing New York Times?”

Townhall previously reported how President Joe Biden’s decline was so intense that he did not recognize Clooney at a campaign fundraiser he was hosting for the president.

Husband decapitated wife, 17, and walked around with her head | UK | News– www.express.co.uk

A man who decapitated his wife and paraded her head down the street was sentenced to a mere eight years in prison in Iran. He was spared a tougher sentence after her parents reportedly declined to enact Iran’s Islamic law of retribution.

Mona Heydari, a mother of one, was only 17 when she was pulled from a car outside her family home and murdered in February 2022, according to court proceedings. Her husband Sajjad Heydari, and his brother Heydar, carried out the horrific attack in Ahvaz, the capital of the southwestern Khuzestan Province.

A judiciary spokesman said the leniency of the sentence was due to Mona’s parents having “pardoned” him for the murder rather than seeking retribution.

Mona, who had been married when she was just 12, initially escaped her abusive husband and fled to Turkey with another man, the court was told. Heydari had reportedly refused Mona’s requests for a divorce. Her father, identified as Javid in local reports, eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to Iran.

Trump Diagnosed with Blood Circulation Disease

pgnewser July 17, 2025 0

President Donald J Trump has been diagnosed with “chronic venous insufficiency.” It is a disease that causes a swelling of the legs that makes it difficult for the legs to send blood back to the heart. Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the diagnose.

She told the press, “In recent weeks, President Trump noticed mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care, and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit. The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition.”

Trump’s Diagnosis Revealed After Bruising On Hands, ‘Swelling’ In Legs– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

Physicians for President Donald Trump have announced he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, a swelling of the legs that can cause difficulty with sending blood back to the heart.

The news, announced by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during Thursday’s press briefing, landed like a shock among supporters who took to the internet with well-wishes and fears about Trump’s ability to finish out his second term.

Leavitt dismissed those concerns, characterizing the diagnosis as less serious than it appears at first.

“Many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president’s hand,” Leavitt said, referencing what appeared to be makeup on Trump’s right hand Wednesday.

In an “effort of transparency,” Trump’s doctor stated: “In recent weeks, President Trump noticed mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care, and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit.”

“The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition,” Leavitt read from the note.

Trump emerged from Marine One on Wednesday, answering questions with his usual zest while touting trade deals and taking aim at far-left Democrats. However, physicians who spoke with the Daily Mail speculated about whether the president had been bruised by a recent blood draw, a symptom that is common among men of his age.

Trump turned 78 this month, and he is the second-oldest president behind former President Joe Biden.

WATCH:

All studies of Trump’s current health “were within normal limits,” Leavitt added.

“An echocardiogram was also performed and confirm normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified.”

President Trump effectively pressured Biden out of last year’s election after furthering the narrative that his mental acuity had significantly declined while in office. Stumbles, vexed moments on stage, and other senior moments reinforced the image of Biden as unfit for office.

With his news, President Trump is now up against the gun to show Americans that he is not suffering physical side-effects after returning to the world’s most demanding job. He continues to regularly golf, an activity his physician has credited with his healthy gait and average weight for men of his age.

Pedophile Forgiven of Attempted Child Rape to Protect Canadian Citizenship Application

pgnewser July 17, 2025 0

A Canadian resident from India was found guilty of attempting to have sex with someone who was a minor, but since he is applying for Canadian citizenship, the Judge decided to give him a “conditional discharge” so his citizenship application isn’t ruined. The pedo-supporting judge is liberal Justice Paul Thomas O’Marra, who declared, “A conviction would lead to severe collateral consequences, such as jeopardizing his immigration status, delaying his citizenship, and preventing him from sponsoring his wife, which would likely result in separation…”

Akashkumar Khant, 30, will now be let loose on the Canadian public as a fellow voter, assuring the pedophilic death cult that is Canada’s far left “Liberal” Party will stay in power for decades to come, making itself increasingly at odds with America’s values, and thus, making itself a security risk for future American generations (should we survive our own internal crisis). The pedo enabling judge is willing to sacrifice your child for his smug sense of self-righteousness.

Indian Migrant Gets “Conditional Discharge” For Sex Crimes Because It Would “Delay His Citizenship”– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Excerpt:

In the political pursuit to make Canada India and ensure no human is illegal, our northern neighbors have truly lost their minds.

A Canadian resident has been given a “conditional discharge” after trying to have sex with someone he believed was a minor. However, given the fact that he wants to be a citizen, the judge believes that the morally permissible thing to do is to let him off the hook, as the more evil thing would be to disrupt his immigration hearing.

It’s unclear why this judge wants predators in his country so badly, but that is up for you to decide.

According to the National Review:

In December 2023, Akashkumar Khant, 30 (plus or minus some months), made the mistake of arranging to have sex with a 15-year-old at a Mississauga Holiday Inn for $140.

Only, when he got there, that 15-year-old turned out to be a cop. He was arrested at the hotel (with $140 in cash on hand) and subsequently ended up in court — but he won’t receive a criminal record for his actions, in part because of his immigration status.

On June 25, Khant was sentenced to a conditional discharge for committing an indecent act. For three months, he will be under house arrest — during which time he can go shopping for three hours every Sunday, attend religious services, medical appointments and travel to and from work. Twelve months of probation will follow afterward. Whether Ontario will appeal remains an open question, as the province won’t reveal its plan until after July 25.

RINOS and Dems Join Forces to Push Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill

pgnewser July 17, 2025 0

Florida RINO representative Maria Elvira Salazar introduced a bill that would allow illegals to continue to work here and send money home. Salazar said the quiet part out loud when she stated in her press release, “The legislation acknowledged a key truth: most undocumented individuals are not seeking citizenship at all costs, but rather the dignity of living and working legally, contributing to society, paying taxes, being safe from deportation, and traveling to see family during the holidays.”

This is just an open admission the bill is intended to flood America with “workers” who aren’t here to join our nation, so they are here to work in the interest of a foreign country, not America, sending American dollars out of our country to the detriment of the American worker, whose jobs they have taken (at pennies to the dollar).

Amnesty Bill Will Allow Illegals To Keep Using U.S. As A Piggy Bank– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

On Tuesday, a group of Republicans joined Democrats to reintroduce the DIGNITY Act, which would provide mass amnesty to illegal aliens living in the country.

“The legislation acknowledges a key truth: most undocumented individuals are not seeking citizenship at all costs, but rather the dignity of living and working legally, contributing to society, paying taxes, being safe from deportation, and traveling to see family during the holidays,” a press release from Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a so-called Republican, states.

By the bill’s own admission, “most” illegal aliens don’t want to become Americans in any real sense. They want the benefits of living here without the responsibilities of citizenship. They want access to our job market, our economy, public services, schools, hospitals — but none of the civic ties, assimilation or actual loyalty that citizens are expected to uphold, which is precisely the problem with mass migration.

Mass migration — whether legal or illegal — treats America not as a nation with a specific culture, language, heritage and people to be protected, but merely as a global economic opportunity zone for anyone who wants to cash in. There’s no concern for the cultural, social, or economic impacts on the communities forced to absorb this endless influx of illegal aliens. Which is precisely why Salazar’s statement — that “most” illegal immigrants don’t even seek citizenship — is so troubling.

Citizenship is a covenant that requires civic responsibility and obligations, which is what tethers the American people to one another and creates a sense of belonging that is worth fighting for. If citizenship is reduced to being merely an option rather than a requirement for participation and reaping the privileges of our republic, then civic responsibility will also erode. Citizenship binds people together through shared duties, loyalties and sacrifices. To live indefinitely in legal twilight — enjoying the protections, privileges, and prosperity of America without accepting the obligations of citizenship — is to hollow out the very meaning of belonging to a nation and reduces the nation down to a global marketplace.

Bombshell DOJ Report Finally Addresses Epstein ‘Client List’– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

A bombshell report by the U.S. Department of Justice reaches stunning concludes about the death of Jeffrey Epstein and the alleged client list of high-profile individuals serviced by his ring of underage sex slaves.

Working in conjunction with the FBI, the DOJ for the first time confirmed that no such list was ever compiled by Epstein, who died by hanging in 2019. Although his connections to some of the world’s most powerful leaders were vast, there is no evidence that he blackmailed associates, kept a “client” list, or was murdered, according to the memo.

The finding amounts to significant pushback on the long-held theory that Epstein was murdered while being held on human trafficking charges. The Trump administration is preparing the release of a new video — both in “raw” and “enhanced” qualities — that it claims confirms no individual entered the area where Epstein sat in a jail cell on the night of his death.

The two-page memo concurs with a medical examiner’s finding that he died by hanging with no evidence of foul play.

Before entering public office, FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, had been among the voices most critical of the government’s investigation into Epstein’s death. They had alluded to his relationship with the Clintons, Bill Gates, and members of the Royal Family, all of whom visited his notorious Virgin Islands compound over the years.

Vice President JD Vance cast two decisive tie-breaking votes in the Senate on Tuesday to advance a $9.4 billion spending rescissions package backed by President Donald Trump. The measure, which would claw back federal funding from a range of programs, including the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and public broadcasters NPR and PBS, is now headed into a marathon floor debate.

The Senate twice deadlocked at 50-50 on procedural votes to begin debate on the controversial bill. In both instances, Vance stepped in to break the tie and push the measure forward. The rescissions package, approved by the House of Representatives last month, would eliminate approximately $8.3 billion from USAID and $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

A number of developments this week indicate that a blue wave may swell in the 2026 midterms.

From Democrats landing top-tier recruits in critical races, to Republicans in competitive races retiring or forgoing bids, to the fact that President Donald Trump is desperately trying to rig House districts, sign after sign shows that the wind is at Democrats’ backs.

First, former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina seems close to entering the Senate race following GOP Sen. Thom Tillis’ abrupt and unexpected retirement.

Cooper, who left office after two terms with a positive approval rating, would perhaps be the best Democratic nominee in the race. His entrance into the contest would give Democrats an exceptional opportunity to pick up a critical Senate seat, bringing the party one step closer to taking control of the chamber.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina

That’s especially true if Republicans nominate a wackadoodle, which they could very likely do as Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump seems poised to run—something Tillis is warning Republicans not to do.

Georgetown President Says He’s ‘Very Proud’ of School’s Relationship With Hamas-Friendly Qatar– freebeacon.com

Georgetown University’s interim president, Robert Groves, told Congress he is “very proud” of the school’s financial relationship with Qatar and defended his decision to award a presidential medal to a Qatari royal who openly celebrated Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre.

“I’m very proud of our mission in Qatar,” Groves said Tuesday during a House Committee on Education and Workforce hearing. “It’s completely consistent with the Jesuit animation of working at the frontiers of serving groups that are not served easily in Washington.”

Republican lawmakers at the hearing—which also featured University of California, Berkeley, chancellor Rich Lyons and City University of New York chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez—focused much of their attention on Georgetown’s financial relationship with Qatar, through which the university has received approximately $1 billion from the Gulf state since 2005.

One project the university built with its influx of Qatari cash is the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), situated within Georgetown’s prestigious School of Foreign Service. Groves pointed to the ACMCU as one example of the school’s efforts to address “interfaith conflict.”

Wall Street experienced a record-breaking revenue surge in the year’s second quarter, investment bank Goldman Sachs announced Wednesday morning, following the market uncertainty caused by President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs in April.

Goldman Sachs’s trading revenue for the second quarter was $4.3 billion, $600 million higher than expectations and $100 million above the first quarter’s total, which was also a record. The company’s total revenue jumped 15% to $14.58 billion, a billion dollars more than what analysts expected. A similar upward trend was seen in the bank’s profit, which rose 22% to $3.72 billion.

“The economy and markets are generally responding positively to the evolving policy environment,” Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said. “But as developments rarely unfold in a straight line, we remain very focused on risk management.”

JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley also reported sizable increases in trading revenue, indicating that Wall Street has benefited from the tariff upheaval, despite market volatility.

After Trump’s tariffs took effect in early April, the stock market index S&P 500 took a drastic dive within minutes. Once an erroneous report indicated Trump was considering a 90-day pause on his “Liberation Day” tariffs, the S&P 500 added $3 trillion within 10 minutes. The White House quickly denied the report, calling it “wrong” and “fake news.”

The White House quickly denied the report, calling it “wrong” and “fake news.”

Once traders learned of the denial, the S&P 500 lost $2.5 trillion in five minutes. A similar pattern was seen in the Nasdaq and Dow Jones.

Soon after the higher “Liberation Day” tariffs took effect, Trump implemented a 90-day pause that ended earlier this month. The pause was made to allow time for foreign trading partners to negotiate with the United States on trade deals.

Trump has so far announced trade deals with the United Kingdom, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

The president’s pattern of threatening tariffs and then pausing them or extending the deadline to negotiate has caught the attention of traders, who have created the “Trump always chickens out,” or TACO, strategy to capitalize on it.

Trump disputed TACO, which holds that Wall Street should “buy the dip” following immediate panic caused by a new tariff announcement, considering the perception that Trump will back off on his tariff threats. Trump said his strategy is simply a negotiation tactic.

“We have the hottest country anywhere in the world … Six months ago, this country was stone-cold dead. We had a dead country. We had a country, people didn’t think it was going to survive, and you ask a nasty question like that,” he told reporters in May.

EU DELAYING RETALIATORY TARIFFS AHEAD OF TRUMP’S AUG. 1 DEADLINE

“It’s called negotiation. You set a number. And if you go down, if I set a ridiculous high number and I go down a little bit, a little bit, they want me to hold that number, 145% tariff. Even I said, ‘Man, that really got up,’” Trump said, adding he brought down the said tariff rate after negotiations.

Trump is proceeding with implementing his next phase of tariffs on Aug. 1, including a 30% tariff imposed on the European Union. The 27-member bloc delayed its retaliatory tariffs this week amid negotiations with the U.S. in the hopes of reaching a trade deal before the new tariff deadline.

President Trump Claims Once Again That The Epstein Files Were Created By Democrats– wltreport.com

President Trump has doubled down on his claims that the Epstein files were created by former FBI Director James Comey, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.

Last week, in a disappointing post, Trump downplayed the Epstein files and claimed Democrats created them.

Trump wrote, “For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration.”

Now he has repeated those claims while addressing reporters outside the White House.

The reporter asked Trump, “Did Bondi tell you your name appeared in the Epstein Files?”

He responded, “She’s giving us a very quick briefing, and in terms of the credibility of the different things they’ve seen.

“I would say, these files were made up by Comey, made up by Obama, and made up by Biden.”

Trump concluded that whatever Bondi thinks is credible, she should release them.

Trump concluded that whatever Bondi thinks is credible, she should release them.

ABC reported more on Trump’s comments on the Epstein files:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Attorney General Pam Bondi should release “whatever she thinks is credible” on Jeffrey Epstein as he faces pressure from his MAGA supporters.

Trump, speaking to reporters as he left the White House, said he received a “very quick briefing” on the Justice Department and FBI review of the Epstein files. The briefing took place before the release of the DOJ and FBI memo last week.

The review found no evidence the deceased financier kept a “client list” of associates and no further charges are expected. The department also released hours of footage as part of its review, which officials say further confirmed Epstein died by suicide while in custody in his jail cell in Manhattan in 2019.

ABC News’ Katherine Faulders asked the president what Bondi told him about the review, “specifically, did she tell you at all that your name appeared in the file?”

“No, no, she’s — she’s given us just a very quick briefing,” Trump responded before making baseless claims the files were created by some of his political foes.

“And in terms of the credibility of the different things that they’ve seen, and I would say that, you know, these files were made up by Comey, they were made up by Obama, they were made up by the Biden — and you know, we and we went through years of that with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, with all of the different things that we had to go through,” Trump said.

“We’ve gone through years of it, but she’s handled it very well, and it’s going to be up to her,” Trump said of Bondi. “Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.”

Jeffries said, “At the end of the day the American people deserve to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as it relates to this whole Jeffrey Epstein matter. Donald Trump and his MAGA extremist allies have fanned the flames of this conspiracy theory for years. So there’s only two options at this point, either Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and that whole crew have been lying to the American people over the last several years about what is actually in the Jeffrey Epstein files, or alternatively, Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and his allies in the Trump administration are hiding something from the American people right now. So we’re determined to get to the bottom of this on behalf of the American people who deserve transparency from their government.”

Host Chris Hayes said, “Reporter Annie Karni who was just on in the last block, said that the line from Republicans in the House today were talking about appointing a special counsel. I wonder if that’s something that you would support or other Democrats would support?”

Jeffries said, “Seems to me that a special counsel is just a diversionary tactic. If the files exist, produce them and produce them now to the American people.”

Specifically, the Supreme Court ruled that a lower-level federal court could not block the firing of Department of Education employees while the case was ongoing.

The lockdown was first reported by local media outlets, with posts on X revealing the actions of the Secret Service sometime around 11:00 a.m. A short time later, it was reported on social media that an “all clear” had been given.

According to the Dallas Express, another report emerged indicating that a tourist tossed an item over the White House fence, prompting the Secret Service’s response. However, the lack of official clarification on the matter has sparked speculation that a much more serious breach of security occurred.

Typically, when this sort of situation unfolds, the Secret Service will whisk protectees away to secure locations. One such place is the Presidential Emergency Operations Center.

Later in the day, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed in a statement that, “Somebody threw their phone over the fence.” No additional details were given concerning the lockdown.

Conservatives focused their anger on the three holdouts who bucked their party, forcing Vice President J.D. Vance to cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of stripping PBS and NPR of taxpayer funds. It was the sixth time this year that Vance had to intervene to avoid a defeat in the Republican-controlled chamber.

The vote came as Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) works feverishly to shore up several of Trump’s agenda items before Congress breaks for its annual August recess.

The 51-50 vote saw Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who is up for reelection in 2026, break with her party over a bill that sought to claw back public funds from both media outlets. Still, she voted to advance the legislation to the floor for its final vote.

“The rescissions package has a big problem — nobody really knows what program reductions are in it,” Collins said in a prepared statement released after the procedural vote. “That isn’t because we haven’t had time to review the bill. Instead, the problem is that (the Office of Management and Budget) has never provided the details that would normally be part of this process.”

The past week finally blew the lid off the worst political corruption scandal of the 21st century. And if you’re not sure what I’m talking about, that means the criminal conspiracy behind it is already winning.

The revelations of the last seven days indicate that the coverup and exploitation of former President Joe Biden’s deteriorating health by his inner circle were more treacherous than first suspected. Moreover, we now know for sure that their conspiracy is still active.

Exhibit A: Last Wednesday, Joe Biden’s White House Physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, finally appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee after months of delays. He was subpoenaed as part of the committee’s investigation into the former president’s mental incapacity.

As the president’s official physician, O’Connor would have been consulted — and probably conducted neurological assessments on his patient — as soon as Biden started falling down in public in early 2021. He may have also tested and treated him for prostate cancer. O’Connor knows better than anyone when, how quickly, and how badly the president fell into cognitive and physical decline.
