President Trump trolled Barack Obama’s hideous Presidential library on Saturday, portraying it as a giant trash can surrounded by homeless tents.

Trump shared an AI-generated image of Obama’s library surrounded by a homeless encampment and trash, complete with a giant garbage bag on top.

This comes as the Trump family teases the upcoming Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Trump family announced earlier this year that the official Trump library is coming soon, with a video preview of the massive building.

“These images have never been seen by the public — until today,” Eric Trump, who is helping to build the library in Miami, Florida, said in a statement with the release of the first look.

“Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at Trump, Eric said.

“This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida, will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.”

WATCH:

Eric Trump told The Gateway Pundit in April that his father’s library will “put Obama’s library to shame.”

“I’m really excited about that,” he said. “You guys just wait and see. It’s gonna be incredible.”

ISS air leak is back in the news.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the security threat to the International Space Station – an air leak in a Russian segment of the Station that was first discovered in 2019, was dealt with, but now has become a problem again.

Yesterday (5), work on the leak prompted astronauts to shelter in their ‘lifeboats’ (the Dragon Capsule), fearing an evacuation might be required.

The Telegraph reported:

“Nasa and the Russian space agency Roscosmos have been struggling to seal microscopic structural cracks in a transfer tunnel leading to the Russian Zvezda module since 2019.

At its peak, the leak was venting more than two pounds of air per day, but in recent months the astronauts thought they had the problem under control.”

Russian media has published audio from the developing emergency aboard the International Space Station.

NASA says astronauts were ordered to move into their spacecraft and prepare for possible evacuation after an air leak in the Russian segment worsened.

Five members of the ISS crew to were ordered to shelter inside the docked SpaceX Crew Dragon craft, while two Russian cosmonauts attempted to assess and repair the leak.

“’We are comfortable with backing out of the safe haven config’, astronauts were told from Houston. ‘With today’s operations, they wanted to be extra safe, extra precautionary, and have the crew move into the safe haven posture’, a Nasa spokesman later said.

A safe haven configuration is an emergency safety procedure where crew members retreat into their docked spacecraft to use them as ‘lifeboats’ that can immediately evacuate to Earth should the space station suffer a catastrophic failure.”

83-year-old Joe Biden looked clueless at Dr. Jill’s birthday celebration this week.

Jill Biden took a break from her disastrous book tour to celebrate her 75th birthday at a restaurant in New York City.

83-year-old Joe Biden looked clueless as friends and family sung happy birthday to Jill.

This is the guy that Jill has insisted could have beat Trump in 2024.

WATCH:

Jill Biden spent the week appearing on left-wing networks and giving interviews about her life after the White House amid her tour for her book, “View from the East Wing.”

At one point, Joe Biden hijacked one of Jill’s events and awkwardly asked her, “Who do you love most in the whole world?”

A “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 but she pushed for him to stay in the 2024 race anyway.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth, while speaking in France on Saturday, went off on American allies in Europe for allowing their borders to be flooded and their people to be slaughtered.  

Hegseth delivered remarks at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France, on Saturday, commemorating the 82nd anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy, where he linked Normandy to today’s invasion of Western Civilization. “In the years since these beaches,” he said, “much of the west, in some places, in some quarters, and in some capitals, grew comfortable.”

“We forgot that peace is not wished into being. It is bought with purpose, with honor, and with strength. The men who landed on these beaches knew this. The question we ask ourselves is, do we?” he continued, calling out the Europeans for allowing their countries to be invaded by violent third-worlders.

“Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, in Italy, in Greece, and in Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion, or is it too late?” he asked.

“As our great President, Ronald Reagan, once said, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. You don’t pass it to the next generation in the bloodstream. It must be defended by each and every generation. We stand by our allies, and we expect our allies capable and ready to stand alongside us.”

WATCH:

Hegseth: America will lead, and we must, but capable allies must be right there with us, shoulder to shoulder in the breach when it matters. In the years since these beaches, much of the west, in some places, in some quarters, and in some capitals, grew comfortable. We forgot that freedom is not free. We forgot that peace is not wished into being. It is bought with purpose, with honor, and with strength. The men who landed on these beaches knew this. The question we ask ourselves is, do we?

It’s past time we remember what they knew. Their legacy demands far more than quiet reflection. It requires our active vigilance. Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, in Italy, in Greece, and in Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion, or is it too late?

I pray not, and I believe not. The man who fought and died here restored freedom to Europe. That freedom must be maintained by this generation of leaders and war fighters, or what they fought for was merely temporary. As our great President, Ronald Reagan, once said, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

You don’t pass it to the next generation in the bloodstream. It must be defended by each and every generation. We stand by our allies, and we expect our allies capable and ready to stand alongside us. The heroes of 1944 did that, and may we.

Notably, this comes in the aftermath of the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in the UK by a Sikh man named Vickrum Digwa. Digwa, 23, stabbed the teen 5 times with an 8-inch knife back in December, but the case has received worldwide attention, sparking conversations about anti-White racism, after police body camera footage revealed how the cops abused Nowak and let him die as he bled profusely– because he was White and a foreigner accused him of racism.

Vice President JD Vance on Friday blasted “European elites” for refusing to stand up 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 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,” Vance said.

WATCH: Democrat Running to Replace Pelosi Opened Women’s Prisons to TRANS Inmates

For nearly four decades, Nancy Pelosi represented San Francisco in Congress and became one of the most powerful Democrats in American history. Now, as California voters decide who will replace her, one candidate has emerged as the frontrunner: State Senator Scott Wiener.

Most Americans have probably never heard his name.

That is exactly why his record deserves scrutiny.

Wiener is not just another California Democrat running in a deep-blue district. He is one of the clearest examples of how far the modern Democrat Party has moved from ordinary American values. If elected to Congress, he would bring one of the most extreme records in California politics to Washington.

In the primary race for California’s 11th Congressional District, Wiener advanced to the November general election against San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan. According to recent reports, Wiener led the primary field while Chan, who was backed by Pelosi, finished second. 

The race is now a contest to determine who will inherit one of the safest Democrat seats in the country.

But while the media will likely describe Wiener in polite terms as a “pro-housing” lawmaker or an “LGBTQ rights advocate,” voters deserve to know the rest of the story.

Wiener authored SB 145, a bill that changed sex offender registration rules for certain adults convicted of sexual activity with minors when the age gap is within ten years. Supporters claimed the bill addressed unequal treatment in California law. 

But for many parents, the obvious question was why California lawmakers were focused on weakening sex offender registration requirements in cases involving minors at all.

Wiener also authored SB 107, which made California a refuge state for minors seeking so-called “gender-affirming care.” In practice, the law placed California on the front lines of the transgender medical movement and shielded certain records and proceedings from out-of-state laws. 

For parents across the country who believe children should not be pushed into irreversible medical decisions, this was not moderation. It was radicalism.

He also pushed SB 357, which repealed California’s loitering law related to prostitution, making it harder for law enforcement to respond to prostitution and trafficking concerns in communities already struggling with public disorder.

This is the pattern. On issue after issue, Wiener has used state power to advance the priorities of California’s progressive activist class, even when those priorities collide with public safety, parental rights, and basic common sense.

That is why his congressional campaign matters nationally.

San Francisco is one of the bluest districts in America. Whoever wins Pelosi’s seat will almost certainly become another reliable vote for the Democrat agenda. 

But Wiener would be more than that. He would be a national messenger for the same ideology that has helped turn California into a warning sign for the rest of the country.

California is already facing the consequences of one-party progressive rule: homelessness, crime, unaffordable housing, public disorder, and families fleeing the state. Yet instead of learning from those failures, Democrats are preparing to elevate one of the politicians most closely associated with the state’s radical social agenda.

Nancy Pelosi may be leaving Congress, but the politics replacing her may be even further left.

Scott Wiener has low name recognition today. If he wins this race, Americans may soon learn exactly who he is—and by then, he could be helping write federal law.

Three US citizens, including two in California and one in Kansas, have been arrested and charged with conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). 

The suspects, Bisaam Ghafoor, 21, of Leawood, Kansas; Elias Shamsaldeen, 21, of Porterville, California; and Bereen Dzayee, 25, of Lakeside, California, are accused of “conspiring to provide material support to terrorism after collectively providing over $2,000 to an individual they understood to be a member of ISIS,” according to the DOJ.

Text messages from the suspects, included their vile wishes for US troops to be murdered in drone strikes, the beheading of a female soldier, and the mass murder of American citizens.

According to the DOJ, “In various messaging exchanges, Ghafoor exclaimed it would be ‘sick’ if his name could be written on the drone used in an attack on Americans. Dzayee suggested that targets of drones should include U.S. Special Forces. In other exchanges, Shamsaldeen expressed a desire to stab and injure a U.S. servicemember. Ghafoor said he has always wanted to kill a female soldier by beheading, and added, ‘I wish I could kill 300,000,000 Americans.’”

Federal officials say the men communicated through Discord chats, voice calls, and other messaging platforms. In addition to providing over $2000 to support ISIS, they also explored using a cryptocurrency scheme to fund the purchase of weapons for ISIS.

Video from the home of 25-year-old Bereen Dzayee, who called for the execution of US Special Forces troops, shows FBI agents executing a search warrant and carrying large paper bags out of the house.

Via NBC 7 San Diego:

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement, “Today’s arrest of three individuals who allegedly conspired to provide material support to ISIS makes clear our commitment to taking down terrorist networks — anywhere. Thanks to the vigilance of the FBI, their alleged scheme was dismantled and further acts of violence against U.S. service members were prevented.”

The suspects “swore allegiance to ISIS, plotted multiple attacks, and even targeted U.S. service members,” according to FBI Director Kash Patel. “The success of this op shows once again this FBI’s continued record of stopping terrorist attacks before they happen, simply the best way to defend the homeland — and shows we’ll stop at nothing to defend Americans from those who seek to do us harm. I want to thank our teams in Kansas City, San Diego, Sacramento, Newark, and Richmond, and the Counterterrorism Division for their outstanding efforts on this investigation and commitment to mission,” Patel said.

Todd Blanche joined Fox News on Saturday morning, where he described the three young men as “completely indoctrinated by terrorism and by terrorists.”

“it’s a good reminder to the Americans that this fight is not over,” he said. “There are still a lot of people that want to inject harm into this country and our citizens.”

Not a friendly move by the Brits.

In the context of a grave crisis in the ‘special relationship’ between the US and the UK, a top House representative is warning the British government against ‘using sensitive backdoor technology’ to spy on Americans.

Yesterday (5), Donald J. Trump’s ally, Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood alerting her about a ‘lack of security cooperation’.

Jordan warned that Britain ‘may be using encryption to gain access to US citizens’ private data’.

Jordan told Sir Christian Turner, the ambassador to the UK, that a US company who wanted to discuss a ‘technical capability notice’ with members of Congress, something that would require Mahmood’s permission.

GB News reported:

“Jordan had written to the Home Secretary in February complaining about a TCN being served to Apple amid concerns Britain was ‘weakening the security, privacy and constitutional rights of American citizens.’

But now, he has warned her most recent refusal raised broader questions about ‘trust and effective partnership between our two countries’.”

The long-running concerns about abuse of America’s H-1B visa program are exploding back into the spotlight after a series of fraud investigations, criminal guilty pleas, and shocking allegations from a former U.S. diplomat who claims that as many as 80% to 90% of H-1B visa applications from India contained fraudulent information or involved unqualified applicants.

The revelations come as federal and state authorities ramp up investigations into alleged visa fraud schemes that critics say have displaced American workers while enriching a network of foreign recruiting firms, shell companies, and immigration middlemen.

Former U.S. Foreign Service Officer Mahvash Siddiqui, who served at the U.S. consulate in Chennai, India, told Newsweek that many applicants submitted fake degrees, forged documents, or otherwise failed to meet the qualifications required for the highly coveted visa program.

Siddiqui described the problem as “industrialized fraud” during a recent interview discussing her experience adjudicating tens of thousands of visa applications.

“I would say 80 to 90 percent of the people that I encountered in each of the visa categories, especially the young people between the ages of 20 to 45 that had very few ties to India, were basically using the non-immigrant visa pipeline to essentially come and work in the United States and never go back home and essentially displace American workers,” Siddiqui stated.

She added that fraud is normalized in India in the same way bribery is normalized there.

In April, federal prosecutors announced that two California men pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit H-1B visa fraud after submitting petitions for jobs that did not actually exist at the University of California.

Prosecutors said the defendants used fraudulent job offers to obtain visa approvals and then reassigned workers elsewhere after the visas were issued.

Federal investigators concluded that the applications contained false information and that the workers were not employed in the positions described in the visa petitions.

Meanwhile, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a broad investigation into businesses suspected of abusing the H-1B system through alleged “ghost offices” and sham companies.

Paxton’s office said evidence suggests some firms may have created fake business operations, listed residential homes as company headquarters, advertised nonexistent products and services, and sponsored H-1B workers despite showing little evidence of legitimate business activity.

“Any criminal who attempts to scam the H-1B visa program and use ‘ghost offices’ or other fraudulent ploys should be prepared to face the full force of the law,” Paxton said when announcing the probe.

Reports indicate the investigation has expanded to nearly 30 companies in North Texas.

Georgia Congressman, working alongside Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, moves to remove unfit judge who carried on an affair with high-ranking Atlanta PD official during business hours while actively presiding over criminal cases.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a special committee for the Eleventh Circuit discovered that Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia carried out a two-year sexual affair in her “chambers and during business hours” with a police commander.

According to Bloomberg Law, the incidents all occurred within “earshot” of law clerks. The entire affair created a major conflict of interest and made the judge vulnerable to extortion.

Ross, who is married to a DeKalb County judge and former prosecutor, was also found by the committee to have attended a partisan political event hosted by a district attorney’s campaign and to have lied to judges investigating her conduct.

Despite these damning findings, Ross has refused to resign.

Freshman Rep. Clay Fuller (R-GA) announced Friday that he is dropping articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Eleanor L. Ross of the Northern District of Georgia on Monday.

Rep. Fuller wrote on X:

I am dropping an article of impeachment against Eleanor L. Ross, a Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. I have been working on this alongside [Jim Jordan] since the news broke and will be introducing this on Monday.

Judge Ross is alleged to have engaged in an extramarital affair with a high-ranking official of the Atlanta Police Department inside her federal courthouse chambers during office hours, within earshot of her judicial staff, while actively presiding over criminal cases.

This radical judge has no place in power and is unfit to sit on the federal bench.

— Rep. Clay Fuller (@RepClayFuller) June 5, 2026

Here is the full text of the key sections of the resolution:

RESOLVED, That Eleanor L. Ross, Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate.

Judge Ross, who was appointed, duly qualified, and commissioned to serve during good behavior in office as United States Judge for the Northern District of Georgia on November 18, 2014, faces the following charge:

ARTICLE I: MISLEADING AND FALSE STATEMENTS

Judge Eleanor L. Ross made material false and misleading statements as follows:

Between October 2023 and October 2025, Judge Ross engaged in sexual intercourse with a high-ranking official of the Atlanta Police Department inside her federal courthouse chambers during regular business hours, while actively presiding over criminal cases.

These activities were conducted within earshot of her judicial staff.

On September 30, 2025, Eleventh Circuit Chief Judge William Pryor identified a complaint about this behavior from a law clerk in Judge Ross’s office and appointed a Special Committee to investigate.

The Special Committee determined that Judge Ross lied to Chief Judge Pryor as well as to Chief Judge of the Northern District of Georgia Leigh Martin May regarding this sexual activity in her private office.

Specifically, Judge Ross falsely claimed that she had “never engaged in sexual intercourse in [her] office, nor anywhere else in the Courthouse”, and that she was “not sure who this allegation concerns or whether it is alleged to have occurred with different individuals.”

Even though Judge Ross later admitted her falsehoods to the Special Committee, this occurred after the Special Committee had taken significant actions including:

• A review of security camera footage and sign-in logs
• Background research on the Officer
• Interviews of five of the Judge’s former clerks
• Inspection of the layout of the Judge’s chambers
• Laboratory testing of furnishings of the Judge’s chamber

The Special Committee concluded that Judge Ross engaged in misconduct including sexual conduct in her office during business hours, and made material false and misleading statements to Chief Judge Pryor and Chief District Judge May that had a detrimental affect on the investigation of misconduct and the administration of the district court.

Her actions exhibit a reckless disregard for her professional obligations, proving her wholly unfit to continue holding the office of a federal judge.

Wherefore, Judge Ross is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office.

Konstantinovka is the key to the fortress belt.

The cradle of the war in Ukraine are the Oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk – two majority Russian-speaking regions that have since voted to be part of Russia.

By now, the Luhansk region has been completely conquered by Russians, and Donetsk is being fought inch by inch, with Kiev still retaining around 15% of the territory.

The last Ukrainian bastions are the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk fortress belt, a formidable group of fortified cities who have been preparing for this day ever since 2014.

Even though the pace of Russian advances is somewhat lackluster compared to the rapid conquests of 2025, we have arrived to the point where the Russian forces have broken through to Konstantinovka, the first bastion of the region.

Fights are also taking place for Ilinovka and Stepanovka, as well as in the area of Dolga Balka, where the Russian army is conducting a flanking maneuver around the city.

‘After the penetration of Russian assault groups into the western part of Konstantinovka, Russian troops have focused their efforts on capturing the Nakhalkovka microdistrict in the northwest of the city. The features of the terrain – a pond and the Krivoy Torets river on the flanks – create natural barriers here’ – write Ukrainian military analysts.”

The Pentagon has designated Israel at the highest counterintelligence threat level amid increasing concerns that the top Middle East ally is spying on US officials to gather information on Trump’s decision-making as it pertains to Iran, two US officials reportedly claim, according to NBC News. 

An Israeli Embassy spokesperson denied that Israel spies on the United States, describing the notion as “completely false.”

“Israel does not gather intelligence on American entities, let alone US government officials. Israel intelligence collection efforts are aimed at its enemies, not its allies. Any claims to the contrary are either misinformed or politically motivated,” the spokesperson said.

The White House further denied the report, saying, “This entire story is false and sourced to someone who doesn’t have any knowledge of what’s going on.”

The report from NBC cites two unnamed US officials and one former US official and points to past instances of Israel and the US both spying on allies, including Jonathan Pollard, who spent 30 years in prison for selling US intelligence to Israel.

Per NBC:

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”

The designation stems from concerns within the Pentagon that Israel is making a particular effort to surveil top U.S. officials to get information on the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and decision-making on the conflicts in the Middle East, the officials said.

The DIA assessment includes a seven-page document and features a chart, according to one of the current U.S. officials. The document says the assessment of Israel is that its ability to conduct human espionage and technical collection is at a ”critical level,” according to the official.

It also identifies a series of specific incidents that heightened U.S. concerns, the official said.

This comes amid a potential rift between Trump and Netanyahu over differing strategies in the Iran war.

President Trump confirmed in an interview on Tuesday that he recently went off on Netanyahu during a heated phone call amid reports of Trump calling him “f*cking crazy” for continuing the war amid US-Iran negotiations. Trump reportedly accused Netanyahu of ingratitude, referenced helping keep him out of jail during his corruption trial, and allegedly yelled things like “What the f**k are you doing?”

“I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon, you know? At some point, I said, ‘Bibi, we’ve got to stop this. You’ve got to stop it,’” Trump told the New York Post’s Miranda Devine.

Israel has since continued launching strikes in Lebanon amid stalled ceasefire talks with Hezbollah.

Iran said it had suspended talks with the US on Monday over Israel’s ground invasion of Lebanon. Trump later made phone calls to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah representatives to end the fighting, but after rounds of ceasefire talks between Lebanon and Israel, Hezbollah reportedly rejected a ceasefire.

Despite being subject to some of the most wicked treatment following her beloved husband’s brutal assassination last year, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) CEO Erika Kirk has retained incredible grace under fire. This class was on perfect display during an event this week.

While delivering a speech to the TPUSA’s Women’s Leadership Summit on Friday in San Antonio, Texas, Kirk was suddenly interrupted by a female heckler who uttered a vile and disgraceful lie.

“Erika Kirk protects p*dophiles!” the agitator repeatedly screamed.

The crowd erupted in boos upon hearing this sick accusation. But Kirk quickly flipped the tables on her with this beautiful and powerful comeback.

One could call it the mark of Christian grace.

“Happiness comes and goes and I pray that you find it,” she retorted.

The audience roared in approval upon hearing this.

As the Daily Mail notes, the heckler was yanked out of the room as Kirk continued to respond.

The crowd continued to cheer Kirk as well.

“We love you, Erika!’ they screamed.

“I love you guys, too,” Kirk replied.

“That’s an important moment because, that just showed duty to faithfulness gives our life meaning and we must pray for our enemies and those that do not feel that their life has meaning,” she added while the crowd continued going crazy.

“That’s a perfect example. You pray for your enemies, you pray for those that persecute you. That’s not the enemy, we know who the real enemy is.”

Such a response is one Charlie Kirk would be proud of.

A Marine Corps veteran turned the tables on an armed teenage suspect during a brazen daytime robbery attempt in Maryland this week, and the dramatic confrontation was all caught on surveillance video.

The incident unfolded Tuesday afternoon in Oxon Hill, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C., when former Marine Jheyco Borda was working on his truck outside his home.

According to reports, four hooded teens approached Borda while he was standing near the bed of his pickup truck. Surveillance footage shows the group surrounding the veteran as one suspect allegedly pulled out a handgun and pointed it directly at Borda’s head while demanding his keys and phone.

What happened next was not what the suspects expected.

Drawing on his Marine Corps combat training, Borda seized a split-second opportunity when the armed teen became distracted. The veteran immediately grabbed the suspect and wrestled him for control of the firearm, triggering a chaotic struggle in the middle of the street.

Video shows two of the suspects fleeing as the fight erupted. Moments later, Borda’s brother rushed from the house to assist. During the struggle, a gunshot was fired, but miraculously no one was injured. The bullet struck Borda’s truck instead.

The brothers ultimately subdued the suspects and held them until police arrived.

“Once a Marine, always a Marine,” Borda told Fox 5 after the incident, crediting his military training for helping him react under pressure.

According to Borda, the brothers restrained the teenagers until officers with the Prince George’s County Police Department arrived and took them into custody. All four suspects are in jail.

Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton on Friday went off on California’s rigged election system and the “completely outrageous” weeks or month-long counting process. 

“First of all, however long it takes, we are confident that we’re going to be in the top two at the end of this process. There is nothing that we’re seeing that changes our assessment that we will be in the top two once all the votes are counted,” he said. “And what does that mean? That means change is coming!”

Hilton continued, “This shambles is absolutely shameful for our state. India counts over 640 million votes in a day. California cannot count less than 10 million votes in a month. Thanks to the Democrats in charge of our state, we have become a national and an international laughing stock.”

“And then, when you dig into what is actually happening here, you see the reason,” he added, highlighting Ventura County, which won’t have another update on vote totals until Tuesday, June 9, one whole week after election day.

Hilton then laid out his plan to ensure the integrity of elections and eliminate the unchecked mail-in voting with three common-sense reforms if elected governor.

“Mail-in ballots must arrive by election day if they’re going to be counted,” he said.

“Mail-in ballots can only be offered by request, as it used to be. We shouldn’t send out mail-in ballots to everyone on the voter rolls when we know the voter rolls are completely wrong.”

And, he said, “We should be pre-counting these votes, just like Florida does, so it doesn’t end up being this mad backlog that takes a month or so to count. It’s completely ridiculous.”

WATCH:

Hilton also sounded the alarm on Thursday evening, telling Fox’s Laura Ingraham that, according to USPS whistleblowers, California is indiscriminately counting mail-in ballots without verifying the date they were sent. “It’s insane. This election system that they’ve created here is just another monument to their uselessness, another version of high-speed rail,” Hilton said as roughly 4 million ballots remained uncounted in his race.

Here’s the latest on California.

Over three million ballots remain to be counted across the state as of Saturday morning. Xavier Becerra has been projected to advance to a runoff election with the second-place candidate. Hilton, who was in first place, has fallen to second, and his lead over Democrat Tom Steyer is shrinking, with roughly 340,000 votes separating the two.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a Friday evening vote dump gave Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman substantial gains, putting her in a position to overtake Spencer Pratt. Roughly 251,000 ballots remain to be counted in the city of Los Angeles.

California is primarily counting the late-arriving mail-in votes, mail-in ballots that were received AFTER election day, which are expected to heavily favor Democratic candidates.

Meanwhile, First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli announced on Friday that his office is conducting “multiple election fraud investigations” with the FBI and a “comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls” with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

Assistant US Attorney Robert Renner was also seen observing the ballot processing center in LA County on Friday and reportedly asking questions about the process.

Hey, it’s Buck Sexton.

Things are happening FAST. So I wanted to get this to you ASAP.

I was recently in the White House meeting with President Trump.

And I have every reason to believe that he is going to make a major announcement any day now that could send a handful of tiny Silicon Valley firms soaring…

The facts:

• The Iran excursion (and Venezuela raid before that) demonstrated a new class highly advanced AI. (Take a look at this jaw dropping new AI here.)

• Trump wants more of it immediately – not just for the military but ALSO to use in manufacturing and industry to boost the economy before the mid-terms.

• I believe the administration is about to announce an estimated $2.2 trillion 10 year plan to unleash it….

Put all that together and you get one conclusion:

I believe this could be the biggest tech initiative in U.S history.

That means the under the radar companies responsible for building these AI systems could see massive stock surges when the news gets out.

In fact, based on my talks with folks inside the Trump administration – and my research, — I’ve identified three companies that I believe could get huge contracts any day now.

This is why I’m rushing this to you now at short notice… today.

Watch my short briefing now… so you can get ahead of the crowd on this.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles delivered a blistering response Friday night after a report surfaced claiming she was preparing to leave the Trump White House following the 2026 midterm elections.

The report, published by the Daily Mail and attributed to “five unnamed White House insiders,” alleged that Wiles had grown frustrated with what sources described as “Cabinet chaos” and disagreements with President Trump over personnel decisions.

The article further suggested that Wiles viewed the November midterms as a potential “off-ramp” from the administration.

The Daily Mail reported:

But now, Trump’s redoubtable right-hand woman – who he has nicknamed his ‘Ice Maiden’ – is quietly planning her exit after November’s midterm elections, notably frustrated by the President’s recent Cabinet appointments, sources say.

When asked by the Daily Mail, Wiles did not deny that she plans to quit, although she rejected claims about tension with the President and his recent appointments.

Insiders say she views the pivotal November midterms as her natural off-ramp, and a final chance to make her mark as Trump faces a seismic test amid growing national frustration over the Iran war and rising inflation.

[…]

The elevation of Pulte was seen as a direct insult to Wiles, three White House insiders confirmed, after she is said to have ‘vehemently’ opposed the extraordinary step of allowing the former leader of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to now oversee all of the CIA, FBI and 16 other national agencies.

Insiders say Trump has told close confidants that he has increasingly come to resent Wiles telling him what to do, a snowballing misalignment between the previously close pair that apparently led to his decision to promote Pulte.

[…]

‘Susie was totally against the Pulte move. As a matter of fact, less than a month ago she tried to have Pulte fired. It was after Trump posted the meme of himself as Jesus. That was Pulte’s idea,’ the source familiar with the strained relationship said.

But Wiles responded with a rare public statement on X. She wrote:

“After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail. To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere.

I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people.

An anti-ICE agitator learned the meaning of the word karma after deciding to mess around with a fast-moving car exiting Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey.

As The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported, the protests outside the ICE detention facility in Newark have spiraled into chaos.

Demonstrators have confronted law enforcement, federal officers have been targeted, journalists have faced hostility, and authorities have been forced to respond as crowds escalated near the facility.

The issue should have been simple. ICE agents are federal law enforcement officers carrying out federal immigration law. The governor’s first responsibility should be to ensure that officers can do their jobs safely and that violent protesters are arrested, prosecuted, and removed from the area.

This has not been the case, however, as government officials have openly sided with the rioters.

On Friday, Independent journalist Nick Sortor captured footage of the latest riot outside the facility, and this one ended unhappily for one thug.

In Sortor’s video, protesters are seen banging on employees’ cars and attempting to block them from leaving. They also scream unprintable slurs.

The drivers somehow maintain their composure under all this harassment, and the rioters escape harm for the most part.

But one agitator did not get so lucky, as he was run over by an understandably alarmed driver, fearing for their own safety.

His comrades could be seen screaming for a medic and to “give him space.”

The medic then treats the rioter’s injuries. The rioter’s primary injury appeared to be in the toe area.

As this is happening, the low-IQ protesters continue to drop F-bombs against federal law enforcement.

In yet another blatant example of judicial activism and lawfare against the will of the American people, U.S. District Judge Myong Joun – a Biden appointee with a well-documented history of blocking President Trump’s agenda – sided with 20 Democrat states and the District of Columbia on Friday, granting a preliminary injunction that halted the Trump administration’s efforts to tie federal food assistance funding to basic common-sense conditions.

The ruling stops the U.S. Department of Agriculture from enforcing requirements on states receiving tens of billions in SNAP (food stamps), school lunch, WIC, and other nutrition program dollars.

Among the blocked conditions: restrictions on promoting “gender ideology,” preventing illegal aliens from accessing taxpayer-funded benefits, and ensuring “fair athletic opportunities” for women and girls.

This is the same Judge Myong Joun who previously blocked Trump administration efforts to reform and downsize the Department of Education, as The Gateway Pundit has reported.

The Trump administration, under Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, has been working to clean up these massive federal programs.

As The Gateway Pundit previously detailed, the USDA put ALL programs under review to ensure only American citizens receive food stamps and other benefits. New requirements from Republican-backed legislation had already reduced SNAP rolls by nearly 4.3 million beneficiaries between January 2025 and January 2026 through basic eligibility enforcement.

The new conditions were straightforward America First policy:

• States had to certify they were not using federal funds to promote gender ideology, including programs that would deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities (i.e., keeping biological males out of girls’ sports).
• States could not allow illegal aliens to obtain taxpayer-funded benefits or create incentives for illegal immigration.
• Broader compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws and Trump executive orders on these issues.

In short, the administration was simply saying: if you want billions in federal food aid, you don’t get to use it to push radical transgender ideology or subsidize illegal immigration on the taxpayers’ dime.

The 20 Democratic states (plus D.C.) sued anyway. They claimed the conditions were “unconstitutional and unlawful roadblocks” threatening “critical nutrition support.” Campbell whined that “these grants are a lifeline” and vowed to fight to protect them.

The Trump administration countered that the requirements would promote sound stewardship of taxpayer dollars, strengthen oversight of obligated funds, and ensure grant recipients actually comply with federal law.

Judge Joun agreed with the Democrats and blocked enforcement of the conditions (at least temporarily). He said he would issue a full memorandum explaining his decision later.

The Trump administration’s war on fraud is showing no signs of slowing down.

In the latest installment of “Fraud Friday,” Department of Labor Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito highlighted several major convictions involving unemployment insurance fraud, stolen identities, and pandemic-era scams that ripped off American taxpayers for millions of dollars.

D’Esposito, who was sworn in as the ninth Inspector General of the Department of Labor earlier this year, has made rooting out fraud and abuse a central mission of his office.

First up: Michigan rapper Jaiswan “J’Swan” Williams is heading to federal prison for more than 10 years after orchestrating a $63 million scheme involving stolen mail and online check trafficking. Williams had already admitted to stealing $1.5 million in fraudulent pandemic unemployment insurance claims using the stolen identities of dozens of innocent Americans.

“No amount of celebrity status will shield you from justice. We will find you and we will prosecute you.” — Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito

Next: Kiara Smith, a former contractor at the Maryland Department of Labor, was sentenced to 42 months in federal prison plus one year of supervised release. Smith and her co-conspirators stole over $3.5 million in unemployment insurance benefits. She’ll pay back every cent — $3.5 million in restitution plus a $275,000 criminal forfeiture.

“We have zero tolerance for insiders who abuse their access to cheat the American people. If you use your position to commit fraud, we will turn your scheme into a prison sentence.” — Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito

This one stings especially hard. A state labor department contractor using her work laptop and insider access to rubber-stamp fraudulent claims. This is exactly the kind of betrayal that exploded during the Biden years when verification was thrown out the window and billions vanished.

Finally: Jackie Smith, an Illinois woman, was sentenced to over 3 years in federal prison for her role in a multi-state scheme that defrauded unemployment insurance programs of roughly $100,000 during the COVID-19 pandemic. She owes more than $95,000 in restitution and faces three additional years of supervised release.

“Exploiting a national crisis to line your pockets is not only reprehensible. It’s criminal. You don’t get to profit off a pandemic.” — Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito

IG D’Esposito delivered the bottom line every American taxpayer needs to hear:

“We will continue to pursue every last fraudster who thought they could take advantage of you, the American people, whether it’s thousands or whether it’s millions, whether you’re a celebrity or a state employee or a private citizen. If you defraud the American people, we will find you. We will investigate you and we will bring you to justice. As Vice President J.D. Vance said, no fraud is too small and no scheme is too large. We are targeting all of it and coming for all of you.”

In August of 2022, Mary Ann was rushed to the hospital with stroke symptoms, just 4 months after her newly incarcerated J6er son, Barry Ramey, was ripped from her arms and dragged thru several life-threatening prisons to land in DC facing one last chance to be released on bail, as a political prisoner. That day they planned emergency surgery after finding a brain tumor was causing the symptoms.

***She never stopped fighting, fight for her here ***

Despite compelling pleas from his attorney, Judge Dabney Friedrich, responded to Barry directly in the possibility of never seeing his mother again when she heartlessly refused bail based on lies by the corrupt FBI with years of torture to follow. Through unimaginable emotional pain his mother entered brain surgery holding on to lifelong faith in God. The surgery was successful and days in the hospital were followed by months of recovery, incurring financial debt while she simultaneously put her savings into fighting for her son’s freedom, praying for the day they would be reunited.

*** Stand with this American Warrior Mom and donate here ***

After three devastating years of sacrifice and injustice, her prayers were answered when President Trump pardoned Barry and he returned home (see video here) after a tumultuous fight that to this day never ends. Now 71 years old, Mary Ann has had to maintain full time work as retirement has never been an option. Now, just over 1 year after his release in a start to reclaim the time and peace she fought so hard for: the brain tumor has returned.

Treading dreadful waters of a growing brain tumor, doctors are gearing for action after testing and gathering an advisory board. Instead of retired peaceful days, Mary Ann faces pressure to maintain employment on shaky ground, an impaired hand from the first brain surgery and yet another debt this month of a failed A/C unit causing thousands in credit debt to replace the broken unit.

****Let Mary know she doesn’t face this battle alone *******

While headlines and political debates swirl around possible future compensation for January 6 defendants, none of those discussions help today with a mothers fight for more time with the family she nearly lost. There are no guarantees about what tomorrow will bring, as her son also works to build stability in his own uphill battle after imprisonment.

Despite life-shattering news, Mary Ann continues with courage, humility, and faith. With her savings depleted her faith in God is unwavering.

They opened fire randomly on the unarmed protesters.

The US and Iran traded missile strikes, with Iran targeting neighboring Gulf countries and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, on Friday, as negotiations to end the war stall. 

Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, told CNN on Friday, “The negotiations are at a deadlock and (US President Donald) Trump must break this deadlock.”

“The ball is in Trump’s court,” Rezaei added. He further threatened that Iran will “drag the war” beyond the region “by attacking these other American bases that we have been attacking so far.”

After intercepting six Iranian missiles launched in the Strait of Hormuz,  “U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further maritime attacks,” Central Command said in a statement late Friday, releasing video from the strikes.

“Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target. There are currently no reports of harm to U.S. personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging U.S. 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false,” Central Command said. “CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and postured to continue responding to unwarranted Iranian aggression in self-defense.”

Bahrain’s interior ministry announced moments later, “The siren has been sounded ..Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place.”

Bahrain later announced that Iranian strikes “targeting civilians” continued overnight.

More from CBS:

Bahrain said early Saturday that Iran was continuing to attack the country with “missiles and drones targeting civilians.”

Bahrain’s military said its air defense systems had been able to intercept and destroy three missiles. The military said the its weapons and forces “are at the highest readiness” in case of more attacks.

The U.S. military’s Central Command said Friday that Iran shot seven ballistic missiles towards Kuwait and Bahrain. Six of those missiles were intercepted, and one didn’t hit its target, CENTCOM said.

The neighboring Gulf state of Kuwait is also dealing with “hostile missile and drone attacks” from Iran as peace talks between the U.S. and Iran stall.

This comes as Israel continued launching strikes in Lebanon on Thursday and Friday amid stalling ceasefire talks with Hezbollah.
