Two male individuals, one wearing a blue turban and the other with short hair, are displayed side by side in a split image.

Vice President JD Vance released a powerful statement on the tragic, anti-White murder of Henry Nowak.

UK police bodycam footage shows 18-year-old Henry Nowak pleading with officers after he was stabbed by a Sikh man named Vickrum Digwa.

Nowak, an accounting and finance student, was walking home from a night out in Southampton on December 3, 2025, when Digwa, 23, stabbed the teen 5 times with an 8-inch knife.

Digwa stabbed Nowak in the face, legs and chest.

Nowak tried to flee but he was bleeding profusely. When police arrived, Digwa told police that Nowak was a racist and knocked off his head wrap.

“We’ve just been attacked by someone racially, this [REDACTED]… we’ve been attacked racially by some white person,” Digwa’s brother told police in a 911 call.

Nowak told police that he had been stabbed, but police handcuffed him and dragged him away while he was bleeding out and dying.

“I can’t breathe!” “I’m dying!” the 18-year-old shouted as British police dragged him.

The police did not believe Nowak until it was too late.

“I don’t think you have, mate,” the officer told Nowak.

Moments later, Nowak is seen lying on the ground, lifeless.

Digwa was sentenced to life in prison

WATCH:

JD Vance released a very moving statement on the brutal murder of Nowak.

Full statement from Vance:

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few… https://t.co/e3HkjzWzwU

Obama Judge Strikes Down Trump Asylum Policies in Scathing Rebuke

Judge John McConnell ruled against the Trump administration's freeze on federal grants on Jan. 31, but he is now being accused of having a conflict of interest in the case.

Judge John McConnell ruled against the Trump administration's freeze on federal grants on Jan. 31, but he is now being accused of having a conflict of interest in the case.

A federal judge on Friday struck down President Trump’s asylum policies in a scathing rebuke.

US District Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointee, accused President Trump of leaving millions of illegals living in the US in limbo.

The Trump Administration last November suspended asylum cases after two National Guard members were shot by an Afghan man who entered the US under the Biden Regime.

USCIS has halted all asylum decisions until we can ensure that every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible. The safety of the American people always comes first.

— USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow (@USCISJoe) November 28, 2025

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover,” Trump wrote on Truth Social last year.

“Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation,” he said.

Judge McConnell blasted Trump’s “anti-immigrant animus” in his 135-page opinion.

“The Government effectively invites the Court to shut its eyes and ignore the strong evidence of anti-immigrant animus before it,” the judge wrote, according to CNN. “Doing so would require profound naiveté on the Court’s part. Unfortunately for the Government, that is an invitation that this Court will have to decline.”

CNN reported:

A federal judge struck down a series of Trump administration policies targeting asylum seekers and immigrants seeking benefits in a scathing court ruling Friday.

Last year, the administration indefinitely suspended asylum adjudications and froze immigration applications for people who fell under the travel ban, among other measures, leaving millions of immigrants in the United States in legal limbo.

Judge John J. McConnell Jr. acknowledged that uncertainty in his 135-page opinion.

“(T)he Challenged Policies placed the lives of countless individuals on hold – solely by virtue of their countries of birth,” wrote McConnell, a nominee of former President Barack Obama. “Over six months later, many of those individuals remain without work, without legal status, and without any meaningful ability to plan for their futures.”

McConnell went on to lambast what he described as “strong evidence of anti-immigrant animus.”

DEVELOPING: Pulte to Fire “Large Number” of Deep State Intel Community Members

05. Juni 2026 um 17:20

Acting DNI Bill Pulte is preparing to fire a “large number” of Deep State Intel Community members.

According to The Wall Street Journal, President Trump has urged Bill Pulte to “start the process” of firing intel officials.

President Trump said he wants to reduce the size of the federal intel agencies.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

President Trump said he wants Bill Pulte, his incoming acting director of national intelligence, to begin the process of firing a large number of employees as part of a shake-up of the U.S. intelligence community.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Friday, Trump said he has privately told Pulte that he believes the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, which oversees 18 federal intelligence agencies and units, is “unnecessary and/or too big.”

“I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there,” Trump said, pointing to holdovers from the Biden and Obama administrations. Asked whether he is calling on Pulte to fire people, Trump said he wants him to “start the process,” adding that his eventual nominee to serve in the role permanently should continue that work.

Trump stunned many of his own advisers when he said earlier this week that he was appointing Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as his intelligence chief. The move was met with skepticism from some Republicans on Capitol Hill, who raised concerns about Pulte’s lack of national-security experience.

President Trump this week announced he appointed Pulte to serve as the Acting Director of National Intelligence.

Bill Pulte is currently the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

“I am appointing the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, William J. Pulte, to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence,” Trump said.

“William has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets, and over 10 Trillion Dollars at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago. During this period, he will remain Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. Congratulations to Director Pulte!” he added.

On Thursday, President Trump told reporters at the White House that Pulte is serving only as the Acting DNI and that he is interviewing other candidates for the permanent position.

Three Republican Senators on Thursday joined the Democrats and voted to block Bill Pulte from serving as the Acting Director of National Intelligence.

RINO Senators Cassidy, Collins and Murkowski voted for a Democrat sponsored amendment that would bar a Senate-confirmed head of another department from serving as Acting DNI.

Senator Mark Warner introduced the amendment to block Pulte from serving as Acting DNI.

The amendment failed in a 49-49 vote.

NY Correction Officer Testifies She Was Not the Orange ‘Flash’ Moving Toward Epstein’s Jail Tier the Night He Died

05. Juni 2026 um 13:15

A correction officer testified that she was not the orange ‘flash’ that was seen moving toward Jeffrey Epstein’s jail tier the night he died.

Last July, an investigation into the Epstein prison video released by the Department of Justice revealed several discrepancies.

Recall, The Gateway Pundit first reported on the missing minute in the video that was released to the public.

CBS News’ investigative report revealed that video forensic analysis revealed several major irregularities in the DOJ’s 10-hour and 52-minute Epstein prison video.

One irregularity pointed out by CBS revealed that around 10:40 p.m., a person wearing what appears to be an orange shirt was seen moving toward Epstein’s cell on the night of his death.

The DOJ previously claimed the person in the orange shirt was a corrections officer holding orange linens.

However, the newly-released video logs say the orange flash could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that tier.

Who was this inmate?

According to a transcript of testimony released on Thursday, a New York correction officer testified that she was not the person seen in the video.

CBS News reported:

A former correction officer at the New York correctional facility where convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 testified before the House Oversight Committee last month that she was not the orange shape seen moving up the stairs of Epstein’s tier the night he died, furthering the mystery of what happened that night.

According to a transcript released Thursday, House Oversight Committee members questioned Tova Noel on May 18 about surveillance footage showing an unidentified orange-colored figure moving up a staircase at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019, the night before Epstein was discovered dead in his cell in the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan. His death was ruled a suicide.

In her testimony, Noel steadfastly denied being the individual in the footage, and maintained that she was not present at that moment. She offered no explanation for what the shape could be.

“To be very honest, I don’t know what it is, who it is, because I never went back to the tier, and I was never carrying anything orange at all, and I never issued anything orange to anyone in the SHU — not just only Epstein, just anyone,” Noel said.

Noted pedophile of the rich and powerful Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in Manhattan in August 10, 2019, one week after he supposedly attempted suicide in July.

The 66-year-old financier and convicted pedophile was found dead in his prison cell and the medical examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging.

Epstein, who was 6 feet tall, reportedly secured the bedsheet on the bunk bed and wrapped the sheet around his neck.

“F*ck You Cracker!” – Karmelo Anthony Supporters Hurl Racist Insults, Threaten Austin Metcalf Rally Organizers Outside Courthouse (VIDEO)

Group of diverse individuals engaging outdoors, with one person in traditional attire and others capturing moments on their phones.

Karmelo Anthony supporters on Thursday hurled racist insults and threatened Austin Metcalf rally organizers outside the Collin County Courthouse.

Things got heated outside the courthouse as apening arguments began in the Karmelo Anthony murder trial on Thursday.

As TGP previously reported, 16-year-old track and football star Austin Metcalf was brutally stabbed to death in April 2025 during a championship track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

Metcalf, a junior at Frisco Memorial High School, was attacked in broad daylight — at a school-sanctioned event meant to showcase hard work, discipline, and sportsmanship.

Austin Metcalf died in his twin brother Hunter Metcalf’s arms.

The suspect, (now 18-year-old) Karmelo Anthony of rival school Frisco Centennial, was charged with first-degree murder and faces between 5 and 99 years in prison.

“You gone end up like Metcalf, you gone be pushing up daisies,” another Karmelo Anthony supporter said.

The Senate on Thursday evening rejected the SAVE America Act as part of the reconciliation package.

Four Republicans voted to reject the Graham Amendment: Murkowski, McConnell, Tillis, and Collins.

The amendment needed 60 votes to pass, but this voted showed that the Republicans likely wouldn’t pass the SAVE America Act if the filibuster was nuked.

Thursday’s vote on the SAVE America Act is part of the Senate’s vote-a-rama.

It’s official. The SAVE America Act is still stalled in the Senate.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and others have previously floated passing the SAVE America Act through reconciliation which only requires 51 votes.

This requires approval from the Senate Parliamentarian and she would immediately slash the SAVE America Act from the reconciliation package because it is not a budgetary item.

The only option is to nuke the filibuster and pass bills with 51 votes in the Senate.

However, Thursday’s vote showed that the Senate Republicans still don’t have the votes to pass with a simple majority.

President Trump has repeatedly called on the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act.

“Requirement for Voter I.D. to vote should be something that NO American should oppose. If you want to register to vote in the United States, you have to be a citizen in the United States,” the White House previously said in a statement.

The White House previously touted a poll that showed more than 70% of Americans support the SAVE America Act:

– 71% support the SAVE America Act — including 69% of independents and half of rank-and-file Democrats.
– 81% favor requiring voter ID — backed by 79% of independents and 70% of Democrats.
– 80% want states to purge non-citizens from voter rolls.
– 75% support proof of citizenship to vote.
– 61% support sharing unredacted voting rolls with the Department of Homeland Security.

Former President Donald Trump stands in front of construction site near the U.S. Treasury, with workers and equipment visible in the background.

The Senate on Thursday voted on a proposal to block the construction of President Trump’s 90,000 square foot ballroom.

The proposal, which needed 60 votes, failed 52-47.

However, SIX Republican Senators voted with the Democrats to block the construction of the ballroom: Collins, Husted, Moran, Murkowski, Sullivan and Tillis.

The proposal was introduced by Democrat Senator Jeff Merkley during Thursday’s vote-a-rama.

The Hill reported:

Six Republican senators voted with Democrats in support of a proposal sponsored by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) to block the construction of President Trump’s 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom unless Congress authorizes the project.

The amendment would have given Congress sole authority to construct a new ballroom and would have barred any federal funds or private donations from being used to build the new ballroom without congressional approval.

Six Republicans voted with Democrats to waive a procedural objection to the amendment: Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Jon Husted (R-Ohio), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.).

The amendment, which was proposed during a vote-a-rama on Republicans’ reconciliation bill to fund immigration enforcement, needed 60 votes to overcome a point-of-order objection.

It failed by a vote of 52 to 47.

A federal judge earlier this year limited the construction on President Trump’s privately-funded White House ballroom.

Last summer, the Trump Administration announced a White House Ballroom construction project.

“For 150 years, Presidents, Administrations, and White House Staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. President Donald J. Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future Administrations and the American people,” the Trump White House said.

“The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance. The White House State Ballroom will be a much-needed and exquisite addition of approximately 90,000 total square feet of ornately designed and carefully crafted space, with a seated capacity of 650 people — a significant increase from the 200-person seated capacity in the East Room of the White House,” they said.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was back on Capitol Hill on Thursday to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee on oversight of the Treasury Department.

As expected, Democrat lawmakers hyperventilated over President Trump’s tariffs, the economy and wage growth.

None of these Democrats said a word when Americans were suffering under Joe Biden’s crushing inflation and Covid vaccine policies.

Bessent was not taking any of the BS from the Democrats.

Democrat Rep. Suzan DelBene (WA) tried to dunk on Bessent over USAID and it didn’t end well for her.

“A DOGE staffer sent a file containing USAID info,” Democrat Rep DelBene said.

Bessent is not in charge of USAID.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw USAID until he turned over his role to OMB Director Russ Vought.

“Why are you bringing up USAID with me? Why? What does that have to do with me? USAID, I do NOT oversee. I wear many hats in this admin, not one to do with this,” Bessent said.

“This is payment info. Are you not in charge of the Treasury?” DelBene asked Bessent.

“That is USAID, it was not sourced at Treasury. Why are you bringing this up with me?” Bessent said.

Notably, Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and John Husted (R-Ohio), who all face tough re-election races in November, voted for Schumer’s amendment.

The proposal, which would have amended a $70 billion budget reconciliation package to fund immigration enforcement, still failed by a vote of 49 to 50.

All Democrats voted for it.

Boat carrying 240 Haitian migrants interdicted by US and Turks and Caicos authorities

This week, US Customs and Border Protection interdicted a boat carrying 240 Haitian migrants making their way to the United States.

The vessel was carrying mainly military-age males, according to US officials.

Turks and Caicos authorities rescued the migrants and took them into custody before they reached US soil.

Statement from CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott:

This week, Air Interdiction Agents located a vessel carrying 240 migrants from Haiti attempting an illegal maritime migration. The overcrowded vessel was taking on water and in danger of sinking.

Our personnel helped prevent what could have been a catastrophic loss of life while stopping yet another illegal migration attempt.

The message remains clear: illegal maritime migration is dangerous, it is not worth the risk, and you will not gain entry into the US.

WATCH:

“Turks and Caicos authorities successfully rescued and interdicted the vessel,” CBP said.

“Officials reported a total of 240 migrants onboard, including 191 adult males, 44 adult females, and five minors. The passengers and crew were taken by Turks and Caicos authorities and did not reach U.S. soil,” Customs and Border Protection said.

BREAKING: John Bolton Agrees to Plead Guilty Over Mishandling Classified Documents

John Bolton appeared on CNN on Wednesday and said he wouldn't vote for former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden in the election. He is voting for Dick Cheney.

John Bolton appeared on CNN on Wednesday and said he wouldn't vote for former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden in the election. He is voting for Dick Cheney.

Former Trump Nat Sec Advisor John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to a felony over mishandling classified documents.

Bolton is facing 60 days in jail and $2.25 million in fines.

CNN reported:

John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-adversary, is expected to plead guilty over mishandling classified documents, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

He intends to plead guilty to one count of illegal retention of sensitive national security documents, according to one of the sources. He has also agreed to pay a more than $2 million fine, according to one of the sources.

A conviction on one count of illegal retention comes with a sentence between 0 and 60 months in prison.

The plea deal comes months after the top Trump foe was charged by prosecutors in Maryland for allegedly keeping diary entries from the first Trump White House in his home.

The FBI raided John Bolton’s home last summer.

FBI agents were sent to Bolton’s home because he allegedly sent “highly sensitive” classified materials to family members from a private, unsecured email server while he was working at the White House during the first Trump Administration.

“Investigators reopened a dormant probe into Bolton’s alleged use of a private email to send classified national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work desk before his dismissal by Trump in September 2019, according to a senior US official,” The New York Post reported last week.

The investigation into John Bolton began in 2020 when he used classified information to write his book titled, “The Room Where It Happened.”

The Biden Administration halted the investigation into Bolton, but FBI Director Kash Patel revived it and ordered the raid on the former NatSec Advisor’s home.

The New York Times previously reported that the US Government actually discovered John Bolton’s classified emails while gathering information from an “adversarial country’s spy service.”

Documents previously released revealed that John Bolton stored classified information about WMDs and the United Nations.

“Categories of potentially classified records that the FBI reported finding at Bolton’s office included: travel memo documents with a “secret” label; confidential documents from the U.S. mission to the U.N.; confidential documents related to strategic communications; and classified documents related to weapons of mass destruction,” Politico reported.

Official speaking at a Department of Justice press conference, with flags and emblems in the background, addressing important legal matters.

President Trump on Wednesday evening announced that he is nominating Todd Blanche to serve as Attorney General.

Blanche, a former federal prosecutor in New York, was chosen to serve as the Acting Attorney General after President Trump fired Pam Bondi in April.

Prior to serving as Acting Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, Blanche served as President Trump’s personal attorney in New York.

“He’s Acting Attorney General,” Trump said at a Rose Garden event.

“Tomorrow, I’m instructing Dan and everybody else that’s involved in that very complicated process that we are going to make him permanent attorney general,” President Trump said Wednesday evening during remarks at an event at the Rose Garden.

WATCH:

As expected, RINO Senator Thom Tillis is already throwing cold water on President Trump’s latest nominee.

Tillis, who derailed Ed Martin’s nomination for DC US Attorney over his statements about January 6, is now attacking Blanche.

Tillis previously told Congress reporters that Blanche was in “dangerous waters” with his January 6 statements.

On Wednesday, Tillis told Washington Examiner reporter that Blanche did a great job de-escalating the case against former Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

“Todd was instrumental in kind of de-escalating the whole Powell matter,” Tillis told the Examiner.

However, Tillis reiterated his red line on Jan. 6, calling it a “circuit breaker” for him:

“Outside of that, I mean, he’s got good credentials — people are going to hammer him because he was the president’s personal attorney, but I’m just more about getting through the J6 stuff,” Tillis said.

“It’s not a gray area for me. Either he equivocated and said harming these Capitol police officers was an OK thing, or he didn’t, and we’ll find that in the due diligence,” Tillis added.

Tillis told me today he has a lot of “respect” for Blanche and credits him with de-escalating the impasse over Jerome Powell

“Todd was instrumental in kind of de-escalating the whole Powell matter.”

Dylan Plouff murdered by Daniel Mcrae,

A young husband and father to four children was brutally beaten to death by a man who was just released from jail.

Dylan Plouff, 34, was working as a security guard in Milwaukee when he confronted a man who was trying to break into cars on May 18.

The suspect, 32-year-old Daniel Mcrae, brutally beat Plouff.

Mcrae was released from jail on May 12 without any charges for a similar assault. During the May 12 arrest, Mcrae injured an officer.

Six days later, Mcrae fatally beat Plouff.

Plouff died on June 2 from his injuries.

TMJ4 reported:

The 34-year-old man who was assaulted at the MacArthur Square garage in May has died, according to Milwaukee police.

His family tells TMJ4 that he was working as a security guard when police say he was allegedly assaulted after he “encountered” a 32-year-old man who was trying to enter cars in the garage in the early morning hours of Monday, May 18.

The man then allegedly assaulted the 34-year-old, identified by his family as Dylan Plouff, who was taken to a hospital. Police later confirmed to TMJ4 on June 3 that he had since died, but said his cause of death has not been determined.

The 32-year-old man accused of assaulting Plouff was arrested, and criminal charges were referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office, which confirmed to TMJ4 that the case was referred to them but said it is “still pending investigation at this time.”

The Plouff family launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses.

“Dylan Plouff, a hardworking husband and father, was tragically injured while working as a security guard in Milwaukee. As a result, his mother, his wife, and his 4 children are faced with the unconscionable task of burying Dylan at the young age of 34,” the GoFundMe read.

“We ask for support with Dylan’s final expenses and assistance to help his young family get through the coming months in his absence. Dylan was a kind-hearted young man who would give the shirt off his back to help those in need, and he will be lovingly missed forever,” the GoFundMe said.

Hunter Biden’s Social Media Posts Go Viral as He Candidly Responds to Critics Trolling Him Over Cocaine Habit

03. Juni 2026 um 22:40

Hunter Biden’s social media posts went viral as he fired off a flurry of X posts about his drug use, his father’s cancer diagnosis and his pay-for-play.

Hunter began his social media spree by attacking CNN’s Jake Tapper for criticizing Dr. Jill during her book tour.

Jake Tapper excoriated Jill Biden for claiming that Joe Biden was not exhibiting any signs of cognitive impairment in the summer of 2024.

“If you knew Joe Biden well, you’d know that if he actually got to the point where he wasn’t capable of doing the job, he would step down,” former first lady Jill Biden writes in her new memoir “View from the East Wing.” “Certainly, if he exhibited cognitive impairment, I would not hesitate to say so. His staff would not hesitate to say so. But he was nowhere near that point in the summer of 2024.”

“All of that is very difficult to believe, if not just downright false,” Tapper wrote.

Hunter lashed out at Jake Tapper on Wednesday morning, and his social media post opened the floodgates to critics.

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Hunter Biden responded to critics who were trolling him over his cocaine and/or crack use.

Let me ask you a question Mike- if I’m telling you I smoked crack, why in the world would I lie about snorting it? There’s plenty of pictures of me smoking crack doing all sorts of stupid things, with all sorts of people and rarely with clothes on. But not snorting cocaine.

— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 3, 2026

“Ur paintings? Who gives a f*ck. I wanna know how much coke u snorted before posting this tweet,” one critic said to Hunter.

Hunter replied, “Man if you’re going to be mean and least get it right. I smoked crack. I would never have wasted coke on snorting it.”

Man if you’re going to be mean and least get it right. I smoked crack. I would never have wasted coke on snorting it.

“I smoked crack. I would never have wasted cocaine by putting it up my nose,” Hunter told another user.

Hunter Biden also told another X user that he averaged $225,000 a year selling his paintings over the four years his father was in the White House.

Yes I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year over four years. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.

Mullin returned to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee on the DHS’s 2027 budget.

During the hearing, Democrat Rep. Al Green called Mullin a racist.

Of course he did.

“A racist, Mr. Secretary…” Al Green said.

“Are you calling me a racist? I’m asking a question,” Mullin said.

“Shut up! Shut up!” Al Green shouted.

“I’m not gonna let anyone call me a racist! You will not—no one will call me a racist. I’m Cherokee, too. My family has been targeted,” Mullin said.

“I will continue to interrupt as long as someone continues calling me a racist,” Mullin added.

“What kind of thing is this? What is this? You get asked questions for 5 minutes, and you don’t get time to answer? It’s not a hearing! What is this?” Rubio said.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Allows Alabama to Use Congressional Map that Favors Republicans – Sotomayor Fumes

03. Juni 2026 um 01:40

Vorschau ansehen

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday evening allowed Alabama to use its 2023 congressional map that favors Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

Last week, Alabama asked the Supreme Court to intervene after a lower court blocked its new congressional map.

Alabama’s request to toss out its racist, gerrymandered congressional map comes after the Supreme Court last month declared Louisiana’s newly-drawn Congressional map an unconstitutional gerrymander.

The case, State of Louisiana v. Phillip Callais (and the related Press Robinson v. Phillip Callais), stems from Louisiana’s woke lawmakers caving to left-wing judges and creating a second “majority-minority” congressional district.

Last week, a three-judge panel ruled that Alabama’s new congressional map violated the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Alabama state officials asked the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court’s decision.

On Tuesday evening, the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision upheld Alabama’s Congressional map that will likely result in 6-1 R-D.

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor fumed in a dissent with whom Jackson and Kagan joined.

“Before the Court are two paths. Down one lies an orderly election, held under a tried-and-tested congressional map that protects Black Alabamians’ right to vote and with which all voters, elections officials, and candidates alike are familiar,” Sotomayor wrote.

“Down the other lies a chaotic election, held under a never-before-used congressional map that intentionally discriminates against Black Alabamians, that Alabama adopted in unashamed defiance of a prior court order directly affirmed by this Court, and that will require officials to change the voter registrations of hundreds of thousands of voters in just days at best, a task that Alabama previously represented would take months,” Sotomayor said.

“The majority chooses the second path and disregardsboth democratic values and the rule of law. I respectfully dissent,” she wrote.

Blanche testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce and other agencies on Tuesday.

During the hearing, Blanche told lawmakers that the Trump Administration scrapped the $1.78 billion weaponization fund.

“We are not moving forward with the weaponization fund. Period,” Blanche said.

Purple-haired Democrat Rep. DeLauro (CT) raged at Blanche over Trump’s settlement with the IRS that lead to the creation of the weaponization fund.

“This administration has engaged in what are perhaps the most brazen acts of flagrant corruption I’ve ever seen,” DeLauro said.

She continued, “When you preside over a deal to take $1.8 billion of taxpayer money to create a slush fund to pay out violent criminals who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers, you cannot be surprised when people question your impartiality.”

DeLauro also shouted at Blanche over Trump’s settlement with the IRS that included ‘immunity.’

US Central Command on Tuesday posted unclassified footage of the US military disabling an oil tanker with a Hellfire missile.

This is the sixth vessel that the US military has disabled as part of the naval blockade in Iran.

The Botswana-flagged tanker was sailing toward an Iranian port before the US military intervened.

Statement from CENTCOM:

U.S. forces disabled an unladen oil tanker that was attempting to sail toward an Iranian port on the Arabian Gulf, June 2.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) enforced blockade measures against Botswana-flagged M/T Lexie as it transited international waters toward Kharg Island. The ship’s crew ignored repeated warnings, failing to comply with directions from U.S. forces multiple times over a 24-hour period.

A U.S. aircraft ultimately disabled the vessel by firing a Hellfire missile into the ship’s engine room, preventing the tanker from reaching Iran.

CENTCOM began implementing the blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13. U.S. forces have disabled six commercial vessels and redirected 122 as the ceasefire with Iran continues.

WATCH:

President Trump early Tuesday morning said the US is still negotiating with Iran:

“Fake News Reports that the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the U.S.A., stopped speaking a few days ago are false and erroneous.

The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today. Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, “It’s time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal.

You’ve been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!” President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Tuesday.

Markwayne Mullin, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, speaks during a Senate hearing, addressing key security issues with an attentive audience behind him.

DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin on Tuesday testified before the Senate on his department’s 2027 budget.

Tuesday’s hearing took place as GOP Senators hold up the reconciliation bill that funds ICE and border patrol over Trump’s weaponization fund.

Democrat Senator Chris Murphy opened the hearing by trashing the Department of Homeland Security.

“On 96 occasions, DHS was caught violating the law, was ordered to obey the law, and 96 times ignored the judge in one state. That is stunning, and it should be unacceptable to anyone on this committee who claims to care about the rule of law,” Chris Murphy said.

Murphy also asked Mullin if he would enforce court orders.

Mullin crushed Murphy:

“The outlandish claims you made there is just flat wrong. You start saying we’re breaking the law, and you really start looking at it, and we’re enforcing laws that Congress did pass. That’s reckless.”

“For you to throw my 275,000 employees underneath DHS, with a broad stroke like that, is reckless and irresponsible in your part!”

“We’re doing the job that Congress gave us the authority to do, and our men and women out there every single day is enforcing laws. If you don’t like the laws, you can change them!”

“When you throw out reckless terms, and you start referring to our agents as being ‘dangerous, unconstitutional, and lawless,’ That’s why our agents’ death threats are up by 8,000%!”

“Your political theater, that’s what it causes. When you start looking at assaults on our officers, they’re up by 1,300%. Senator Murphy, is that what you want?”

President Trump on Tuesday reacted to the newly scheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner and revealed it will be held at The Waldorf Astoria in DC.

Trump built the Waldorf Astoria in DC.

White House Correspondents’ Dinner president Weijia Jang announced the event will be held on July 24.

“I’m proud to share the WHCD will be held on 07/24. Our first dinner is part of history, as will be the WHCA’s response. We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word, especially during a year when we are reflecting on America 250 and everything we stand for,” White House Correspondents’ Dinner president Weijia Jiang said.

President Trump accepted the invitation:

In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th.

This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling. I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The White House Correspondents’ Association, and have accepted.

I don’t know whether or not I will give the same rather nasty statements, at least as it concerns certain people, but we will soon find out. In any event, it will be a “HOT” ticket! Interestingly, the location will be The Waldorf Astoria, on Pennsylvania Avenue, a Building and Ballroom that I built. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Cole Allen, a 31-year-old California man, stormed the lobby of the Washington Hilton in April and opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Allen was hit with a total of 3 charges: Attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, transporting a firearm and ammunition with intent to commit a felony and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.

Dr. Jill was stumped when asked if Joe Biden would be able to serve as president if he were elected during her latest interview amid her tour for her book, “View from the East Wing.”

Jill Biden continued to make the media rounds on Tuesday and appeared on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” to discuss life after the White House and Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

The Morning Joe host asked Jill Biden if Joe Biden could have served four years had he won the election in 2024.

Jill insisted that Biden would have beaten Trump if he stayed in the race.

“I believe he would have beat Donald Trump in that election,” Jill Biden said.

“Had [Biden] been elected again, would he be able to serve as President?” MS NOW host Jonathan Lemire asked Dr. Jill.

“I don’t know the answer to that,” Jill Biden said.

Jill Biden knows there is no way her feeble, cancer-stricken husband could have served another four years in the White House.

WATCH:

Jill Biden also claimed that she thought Joe Biden had a stroke during the 2024 presidential debate.

And she still pushed for Joe Biden to continue his presidential bid.
