Murdoch’s paper sends blunt warning
to Trump: ‘Don’t do it’
Posted By: earlybird, 7/18/2025 11:54:06 AM
The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board sent a straightforward message to President Donald Trump on Wednesday. In recent weeks, Trump has mulled over the idea of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, railing against the head of the central bank that he has continued to criticize for holding interest rates at a relatively high level. According to reports, Trump on Tuesday had asked a group of House Republicans whether he should act on his threat, going as far as to pen a letter for his ousting — despite Powell being appointed by the president during his first term, and his stint wrapping up next year.But on Wednesday, the president dismissed plans

The leading official who presided over the U.S. Naval Academy’s use of racist affirmative action admissions policies is being replaced, the Pentagon announced on Friday.
According to a Defense Department press release, Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Michael J. Borgschulte has been nominated to replace Navy Vice Adm. Yvette Davids as the superintendent of the renowned military school. Davids — who was nominated to her now-former position by President Joe Biden — has since been reassigned to be the deputy chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans, Strategy, and Warfighting Development.
The Trump-Russia collusion story was always a targeted false smear intended to generate a special counsel and hamstring the surprising winner from the 2016 election, Donald Trump. The Russia-Collusion narrative was always an Intelligence Community op against Donald TRump.
Yesterday, Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard released a tranche of background information, [114 pages of information], showing how the Obama administration intentionally and with great purpose fabricated the entire story.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard Press Release Here – Files Containing Evidence Here
DNI Tulsi Gabbard outlines how the documents released show how the Obama administration actively engaged the Intelligence Community to fabricate a false and malicious conspiracy against the incoming Trump administration.
(snip) Director Gabbard emphasizes within her role she is able to reach into each of the eighteen intelligence agencies and extract documents that pertain to singular issues, in this case the role of Russia in the 2016 election. This cross-silo investigative ability is why the DNI office is so important
Apparently, the best the Democrats could come up with to defend themselves against the truth provided by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, was to put Connecticut Representative Jim Himes on TV to push a series of lies that leftists are sworn to believe.
Four lies immediately stand out below. (1) Marco Rubio was not chair on the SSCI investigation of Trump-Russia, Richard Burr was. (2) John Durham was not appointed by Donald Trump. He was appointed by Bill Barr. (3) There is no evidence that “Russia hacked” the DNC servers. Even the FBI said there was no evidence. (4) Russians did not “buy reams of Facebook ads”,
The response from Chairman Tom Cotton and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to the action of DNI Tulsi Gabbard was predictable.
The SSCI has now framed the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 [LINK] to modify the “responsibilities and authorities of the Director of National Intelligence.” [Section 402] (imageWe knew this was coming. The Intelligence Community does not like rogue actors amid their ranks, especially if those people have cross-silo access. The silo system is designed to protect the Deep State. Any entity who can cross reference the inserted information becomes a risk to the enterprise.
Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges’ clear disregard for the presumption of regularity — a presumption that requires a court to presume public officials properly discharged their official duties.
The media’s desperate effort to tie President Trump to the Epstein case just backfired in a big and rather embarrassing way.
In the span of just a few hours, two of the country’s biggest legacy outlets, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, accidentally worked together to clear Trump of any wrongdoing or connection to Epstein’s crimes. And they don’t even realize itBut Byron York sure did.
Here’s his X post laying it out:
Former President Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack,” “as sharp as ever,” and the “best” version of himself “ever” while in office — until he wasn’t.
After months of claiming Biden was perfectly competent to not only remain in office but run for reelection, Democrats ousted Biden(snip). But just because Biden may have stepped out of the spotlight doesn’t mean the American people have forgotten that there was a mentally incapacitated president ‘running’ the show.That’s why Republicans have called in several Biden White House aides to get to the bottom of what really went down. Except, none of them are willing to talk.
On the day after the 2024 election, Palantir was valued at $51.13. Today, Palantir has closed higher than our initial projection of $150 to $200 “prior to the midterms.” Palantir continues benefitting from govt contracts not just for military application but also for facial recognition processes within (1) the deportation operation, (2) implementation of Real ID, (3) DHS/TSA use at entry points.(snip)If confrontation with the surveillance state is also a priority for you, be patient. Eventually President Trump will see the Palantir constructs that have been laid around the administration by Machiavellian elements. Trump’s hindsight will then be a weapon as he starts asking the big questions to those who have sat
Fox News Digital has uncovered damning evidence that the Obama administration deliberately “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to push the now-debunked Russia election interference narrative, despite contradictory assessments from within the intelligence community itself.According to newly declassified documents that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released Friday, there’s “overwhelming evidence” that Barack Obama and his national security inner circle went to work immediately after Donald Trump’s stunning 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton. Their goal? Lay the foundation for the Trump-Russia hoax that would consume the nation for years. This wasn’t a matter of bad judgment; it was a calculated operation to delegitimize Trump’s presidency before it even began.
Multiple people were killed Friday after an explosion rocked a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department compound where the agency’s arson explosive detail and bomb squad are based. The blast was reported at the Biscailuz Center Academy Training facility in East Los Angeles at about 7:30 a.m., KTLA reported. Three deputies are believed to have died, sources told the outlet Authorities have not said what caused the blast, but law enforcement sources told the LA Times that a bomb squad had been moving explosives around that time.
White House Trade and Economic Advisor Peter Navarro takes a well deserved victory lap on the latest U.S. consumer sales news. The Census Bureau report yesterday highlighted that consumer sales remain strong at +0.6%, significantly higher than all economists forecast [DATA HERE].
Retail sales growth is important because approximately two-thirds of the U.S. GDP growth is driven by consumer sales. With inflation low, retail sales high, and with a previously reported drop in U.S. imports, the ¹second quarter GDP is likely to be much stronger than anyone previously predicted. Thus, Peter Navarro is leaning forward against the naysayers.
This is essentially a repeat of the 2017/2018 economic outcome

Democrat panic is reaching a boiling point.
Democrat Congressman Jim Himes (D-CT), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, went into full-blown panic mode, demanding that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stop releasing documents that expose Obama-era Deep State collusion and abuse of power.
Gabbard’s move follows a stunning declassification of documents that expose how Barack Obama’s intelligence cronies — including John Brennan — used Hillary Clinton’s phony Russia dossier to frame Trump and orchestrate an illegal coup attempt.
But Rep. Himes doesn’t want the truth to see daylight.
In a truly unhinged interview, Himes lashed out at Gabbard, accusing her of spreading a “dangerous lie”
Failed Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams isn’t ruling out a third run for governor of the Peach State, and said in a Tuesday interview that true Christians should have left-leaning views.

On July 17, 1996, 230 men, women, and children boarded TWA Flight 800 for Paris. Twelve minutes later, their lives were incinerated in midair. And for nearly three decades, the American government has done everything short of setting the ocean on fire to bury the truth.
Last week marked the 28th anniversary of that explosion. You didn’t hear much about it from CNN, or MSNBC, or even the White House.
Of course you didn’t.
The people who peddled Russiagate, the Hunter laptop hoax, and the now-laughable myth of President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities are the same types of bureaucrats who sterilized the truth in 1996
Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., have introduced a bill that would generally require those conducting in-person business to accept cash as payment from customers. "Any person engaged in the business of selling or offering goods or services at retail to the public who accepts in-person payments at a physical location … shall accept cash as a form of payment for sales made at such physical location in amounts up to and including $500 per transaction," the measure stipulates, in part.

Durham, Mueller missed evidence of ‘years-long
coup’ against Trump 20 replies
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (DNI) was baffled by how special counsels run by Robert Mueller and John Durham missed evidence of what she alleged was a “years-long coup against President Trump.”
On Friday, Gabbard’s team made public over 100 pages of memos, emails, and other material that revealed the Obama administration had quietly concluded Russia didn’t impact the 2016 election’s vote totals via cyberattacks.
Gabbard has cited those documents as evidence of a “treasonous conspiracy” by the Obama administration to amplify “manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped”
In a post on X, Fateh, who is described as the Minneapolis version of socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, revealed that the DFL had endorsed him. Fateh expressed that he was “honored” and added that the endorsement was “a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual.”
“I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor,” Fateh said in his post. “This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us.”
The Deep State Is in Real Trouble Now

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just lit a fuse under the deep state—and it’s about time.
Appearing Sunday on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Gabbard dropped a stunning accusation: that Barack Obama personally directed a “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began. And now, according to Gabbard, the floodgates are opening—whistleblowers who were sickened by what they witnessed are starting to come forward.
It’s Bigly Hitting the Fan Week

The three biggest stories this week expose judicial hijinks, the willingness of the Wall Street Journal to publish defamatory anti-Trump nonsense in violation of all journalism ethics, and Tulsi Gabbard’s public declassification of material showing how President Obama worked from the moment of Trump’s 2016 election victory on to tar and hamstring him with made-up Russian influence lies.
Judicial Malfeasance
As usual, the most significant coverage of lefty judiciary hijinks is by Margot Cleveland. She uncovered a memo of a judicial conference in which the notorious D.C. judge James Boasberg confirmed to Chief Justice John Roberts the anti-Trump bias of that lower court,

As we learn more and more about the infamous $250 million "Feeding our Future" fraud scheme in Minnesota, the worse it gets. However, the fraudsters are being held accountable. On Saturday, FBI Director Kash Patel, speaking with Fox News, indicated that no fewer than 70 suspects are under indictment in this massive rip-off.
A $250 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded children's nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic has been described by FBI Director Kash Patel as "one of the worst" in Minnesota history.
Hunter Biden lashed out at the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, arguing there would be no one to cook, clean and do landscaping if they are all deported.
In a wide-ranging, profanity-laced interview with Andrew Callaghan, the former first son took issue with Democrats who believe American concerns about illegal immigration need to be addressed.
“F*** you,” he said. “How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your f****** table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your f****** garden.
