Tell me again about Hunter Biden’s laptop??
Four days before Donald Trump’s inauguration last year, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal secretly signed a deal with the Trump family to purchase a 49% stake in their fledgling cryptocurrency venture for half a billion dollars, according to company documents and people familiar with the matter. The buyers would pay half up front, steering $187 million to Trump family entities.
The deal with World Liberty Financial, which hasn’t previously been reported, was signed by Eric Trump, the president’s son. At least $31 million was also slated to flow to entities affiliated with the family of Steve Witkoff, a World Liberty co-founder who weeks earlier had been named U.S. envoy to the Middle East, the documents said.
The investment was backed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal who has been pushing the U.S. for access to tightly guarded artificial intelligence chips, according to people familiar with the matter. Tahnoon—sometimes referred to as the “spy sheikh”—is brother to the United Arab Emirates’ president, the government’s national security adviser, as well as the leader of the oil-rich country’s largest wealth fund. He oversees a more than $1.3 trillion empire funded by his personal fortune and state money that spans from fish farms to AI to surveillance, making him one of the most powerful single investors in the world.
The deal marked something unprecedented in American politics: a foreign government official taking a major ownership stake in an incoming U.S. president’s company.
Under the Biden administration, Tahnoon’s efforts to get AI hardware had been largely stymied over fears that the sensitive technology could be diverted to China. Of particular concern was one of Tahnoon’s own companies, the AI firm G42, which had stoked alarm among intelligence officials and lawmakers over its close ties to the sanctioned tech giant Huawei and other Chinese firms.

Meet the two Gestapo who murdered Alex Pretti
Meet JESUS OCHOA & RAYMUNDO GUTIERREZ, the two worthless POS who MURDERED Alex Pretti
Government records obtained by ProPublica identify the immigration goons as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez, 35. Both hail from South Texas.
Ochoa joined Customs and Border Protection in 2018, while Gutierrez joined in 2014. They were both assigned to Operation Metro Surge, an immigration operation launched in December.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, the parent agency of CBP, told the Daily Beast in a statement that they will “never confirm or deny attempts to dox our law enforcement officers,” adding that “this matter remains under investigation.”
Gutierrez works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations and is assigned to a special response team that functions similarly to a SWAT unit, according to ProPublica. Ochoa’s ex-wife, Angelica Ochoa, told the outlet that he got his criminal justice degree from the University of Texas-Pan American.
They are back!!
Federal judge launches a nuclear missile at Trump
Judge Fred Biery just launched a nuclear missile on Trump and the rest of his Nazis: “For some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds”
He then went on to describe the Trump administration as . . .“bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.”
Judge Biery ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos — who became a symbol of ICE’s aggression in MN
“The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, even if it requires traumatizing children.”
Legal observers say they have never seen a ruling like this: “Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.”
Here’s an excerpt from the ruling.
Who is this “JD Vance” asshole?
His real name is not J.D. Vance; due to mother’s marriages and divorces, living with various family members, he has had as many as six names.
JD Vance’s birth name is James Donald Bowman. Born in 1984 in Middletown, Ohio, he underwent several legal name changes throughout his life due to his parents’ divorce, adoption by a stepfather, and his desire to honor his maternal grandparents.
Birth Name: James Donald Bowman
Second Name: James David Hamel (adopted by stepfather)
Current Legal Name: James David Vance (adopted in 2013)
It’s now clear: Trump has lost his mind
The volatile political landscape in Washington has reached a fever pitch as President Donald Trump has once again targeted his predecessor with explosive allegations of criminal misconduct. In a move that has stunned constitutional experts and delighted his mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging core supporters, Trump took to Truth Social to demand the immediate arrest of Barack Obama for an alleged ‘coup attempt’.
This latest escalation stems from long-standing claims that the Obama administration orchestrated a ‘coup attempt’ to prevent Trump from taking office nearly a decade ago. While the rhetoric of ‘treason’ and ‘spying’ has been a hallmark of Trump’s political identity since the 2016 campaign, the current environment feels markedly different. With a second term in full swing and newfound institutional support, the President’s call for the prosecution of a former commander-in-chief represents an unprecedented challenge to American democratic norms.
…
Trump went further and added, ‘ARREST OBAMA NOW!’ Trump first accused Obama of the same allegation during his first term of presidency, claiming that the former President tried to rig the election, along with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Joe Biden. Obama was reportedly the ‘ring leader’ in what he considered a ‘criminal’ operation at the highest level.
Barack Obama’s office has historically avoided engaging with Trump’s social media attacks, but the severity of the ‘treason’ charge prompted a rare and pointed response. A spokesperson for the former President released a statement in July 2025 refuting Trump’s allegation, calling it ‘outrageous’. ‘Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response’, the statement from Obama’s office read, according to The Guardian. ‘But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction’.
Federal Judge slaps down Trump’s order to establish Presidential control over elections
A federal judge Friday (1/30/2026) permanently blocked key portions of the sweeping anti-voting executive order that President Donald Trump signed last year.
Beyond simply stopping the order, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, minced no words in rebuking Trump’s attempt to expand the executive branch’s power over elections, describing it as both unconstitutional and a threat to democracy.
“The Framers of our Constitution recognized that power over election rules could be abused, either to destroy the national government or to disempower the people from acting as a check on their elected representatives,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote.
“Accordingly, they entrusted this power to the parts of our government that they believed would be most responsive to the will of the people: first to the States, and then, in some instances, to Congress.
“They assigned no role at all to the President,” she added. “Put simply, our Constitution does not allow the President to impose unilateral changes to federal election procedures.”
Through his order, Trump attempted to make registering to vote and remaining registered more difficult by imposing documentary proof of citizenship requirements for a federal registration form.
He also tried to condition election funding for states on compliance with parts of the order while urging his attorney general to take aim at states that have extended mail ballot receipt deadlines.
Several parts of the order have been preliminarily blocked by court orders in several different lawsuits. But Friday Kollar-Kotelly permanently halted two core parts.
First, she said the order’s attempt to require that federal agencies “assess citizenship” before providing an important federal mail voter registration form to enrollees in public assistance programs could not stand.
The judge said Trump exceeded his lawful authority in promulgating this provision because “our Constitution vests the authority to regulate federal elections in Congress and the States alone.”
Second, Kollar-Kotelly also said the order’s attempt to require documentary proof of citizenship on the federal post card application for military and overseas voters was unconstitutional for the same reason.
“Put simply, our Constitution does not allow the President to impose unilateral changes to federal election procedures,” the judge wrote.
Kollar-Kotelly made the ruling in a case involving three consolidated lawsuits against Trump’s order, one brought by the Democratic Party*, another by the League of United Latin American Citizens and the last by the League of Women Voters Education Fund.
