      On Friday, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld one-time former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s Jan. 6th contempt of Congress conviction.

      The news was reported by Politico senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney, who noted that the ruling was by a unanimous three-judge panel.

      The three judge panel rejected Bannon’s appeal of his conviction for defying a subpoena to testify before the congressional subcommittee that investigated the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

      Bannon was sentenced to four months in 2022 on one count for his refusal to appear before Congress and another count for failing to produce documents requested by the subcommittee.

      Bannon’s conviction being upheld paves the way for him to be required to actually serve his four-month prison sentence.

        Presidential candidate Nikki Haley said on Thursday that, if elected president, she would pardon former President Trump, arguing it would be “in the best interest of the country.”

        “I would pardon Trump,” Haley said at a campaign event, according to a video captured by NBC News.

        “If he is found guilty, a leader needs to think about what’s in the best interest of the country,” Haley said. “What’s in the best interest of the country is not to have an 80-year-old man sitting in jail, that continues to divide our country.”

        “What’s in the best interest of the country would be to pardon him, so that we can move on as a country and no longer talk about him,” she added.

        Haley has recently enjoyed a bump in her polling numbers, but still, former President Trump leads the pack of GOP candidates by more than 50 points.

        Trump faces four criminal cases, for a total of 91 criminal counts for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

        Doug Emhoff Hit With Explosive Allegations From Fed-Up Ex

        New York, NY – For the first time, a prominent New York attorney has publicly accused Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, of physically assaulting her during their relationship. The allegations, shared exclusively with the Daily Mail, come just 11 days before the upcoming election, creating potential complications for the Harris campaign.

        According to the ex-girlfriend, Emhoff slapped her across the face at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in the French Riviera, causing her to spin around from the impact. The incident allegedly took place while the couple was in a valet line, with Emhoff becoming jealous as she spoke with another man. Her account is corroborated by three sources close to her, who initially spoke to the Daily Mail earlier this month:

        Emhoff’s accuser, who DailyMail.com is naming only as ‘Jane’, initially declined to comment on the record. But Emhoff’s denial, and his alleged hypocrisy by claiming to be a feminist in media interviews, finally became too much for her.

        ‘What’s frightening for a woman that’s been on the other end of it, is watching this completely fabricated persona being portrayed,’ Jane said.

        ‘He’s being held out to be the antithesis of who he actually is. And that is utterly shocking.’

        In a statement to Semafor published October 3, a spokesperson said ‘this report is untrue,’ and that ‘any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false.’

        “Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff slapped me in the face so hard I spun around… I’m disgusted by his fake ‘perfect spouse’ persona,” the woman told the Daily Mail. Her comments suggest a stark contrast between Emhoff’s public image as a supportive and devoted partner and the behavior she claims to have experienced during their relationship.

        Emhoff, who has been referred to as the “wife guy” by political allies, married Harris in 2014. He has two children from a prior marriage to Kerstin Emhoff, which reportedly ended after an affair with the family’s nanny. Claims that the nanny suffered a miscarriage related to Emhoff’s actions remain unverified.

        The timing of these allegations could have significant implications for the vice president’s campaign as Election Day draws near, adding a layer of controversy that could sway undecided voters.

        Diddy Boasts Of Potential Trump Pardon As Conviction Fallout Mounts

          Disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, now serving time at FCI Fort Dix, is reportedly bragging to fellow inmates that a presidential pardon from Donald Trump is on the horizon.

          According to TMZ, Combs has been telling other convicts he expects to walk free early next year — and has even promised to “take care of them” once he’s back on the outside.

          When asked earlier this year about the possibility of a pardon, President Trump told Fox News’ Peter Doocy he’d be open to reviewing the case.

          “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up,” Trump said. “If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”

          Combs’s troubles stem from a sensational trial last month that pulled back the curtain on his decadent and abusive lifestyle. Jurors heard shocking testimony about drug-fueled “freak-offs” — private sex parties where women were allegedly coerced and mistreated.

          While Combs managed to avoid conviction on the more serious racketeering and sex-trafficking charges, he was found guilty of two counts of transporting women for prostitution under the federal Mann Act. The 55-year-old was sentenced to four years and two months in prison, fined $500,000, and ordered to complete five years of supervised release.

          The embattled music mogul isn’t done facing justice yet. He’s still staring down multiple civil suits accusing him of rape, assault, and human trafficking, painting an even darker picture of an entertainment empire built on exploitation and excess.

          While Democrats and their media allies once celebrated Combs as a cultural icon and political activist, his downfall now stands as a reminder that Hollywood and celebrity politics often mask deep corruption.

          Man Accused of Plotting Trump Assassination Challenges President To Golf Match

            Ryan Routh, the accused would-be assassin of President Donald Trump, challenged the president to a round of golf with deadly consequences in a bizarre court filing on Tuesday.

            Routh, who is suspected of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at his Florida golf course has filed a motion challenging him to a round on the links — with the winner getting the White House.

            Last September, a Secret Service agent spotted Ryan Routh in the shrubbery at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

            Routh aimed a rifle at the agent before dropping the weapon and running off. At the time, Trump was golfing but had not yet come into Routh’s view.

            That assassination plot came three months after Trump was shot in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

            On Tuesday, Routh filed a motion making several odd requests — including strippers, a golf match for the presidency, and even a “beatdown session” from Trump:

            To present new evidence two weeks before court when it has been almost a year for them to gather all they needed, need I say more — it is absurd. The deadline has passed. If you would like to trade admitting the evidence for my subpoena of that baboon Donald J. Trump, bring that idiot on; it is a deal. If you do not want to trade for dumbass, then give me all the others on my recent subpoena list, but I think a beatdown session would be more fun and entertaining for everyone; give me shackles and cuffs and let the old fat man give it his worst. We must beat down crime in America. Carpet is red, isn’t it, no harm in blood. If I am housed at Fort Lucie can it be in a far off, quiet room and can I have access to documents, phone, visitation, email, and maybe a computer and printer, or a fancy typewriter like this one; some female strippers would be great too(model parent): OR perhaps a putting green so I can work on my putting (a golf joke). A round of golf with the racist pig, he wins he can execute me, I win I get his job. (sorry hillbilly Vance)

            Routh was charged with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearm violations.

            A judge recently approved his request to represent himself, and jury selection for his trial is set to begin next week on Sept. 8.

            During a hearing, Routh presented about a dozen additional witnesses that he would like to subpoena, including Trump himself. The court had already approved four character witnesses for Routh, but he requested several more, including a former romantic partner, to testify on his gentleness.

            “That is clearly absurd,” Judge Aileen Cannon said.

            Routh also wanted to question several Harvard professors who he believes could testify that his actions were justified, but Cannon previously ruled that she would not allow Routh to use a justification defense.

            Routh has previously presented other strange requests to the judge.

            Fox News reported in July that Routh wrote an unusual letter to the judge asking why the death penalty isn’t on the table—and proposing that he be included in a prisoner swap with U.S. adversaries, even suggesting he be sent to freeze in Siberia in exchange for a Ukrainian soldier.

            Former GOP State Rep Acquitted In Second Corruption Trial

              On Thursday, Former Michigan Rep. Larry Inman (R) was acquitted on all counts involving bribery and extortion after a second corruption trial.

              Inman, 69, was charged in 2019 for allegedly soliciting a bribe, attempted extortion, and lying to federal investigators, according to the Detroit Free Press.

              According to The Daily Caller, in 2019 a jury originally found Inman not guilty of lying to investigators, however, they could not reach a verdict regarding the remaining counts forcing the trial to go into a second hearing, Detroit Free Press reported.

              “I think he’s very glad to have this behind him,” Inman’s attorney James Fisher stated. “He feels vindicated because this has been a very long struggle for him. And he’s never said anything other than that he is not guilty of these charges, and I think the jury believed that.”

              The jury had allegedly debated for 45 minutes before reaching their final verdict on Thursday. According to the outlet, the first jury deliberated for over 10 hours over two days during the first hearing.

              Inman served as a Michigan representative from 2015 to 2020. However, Fisher noted that Inman is unlikely to get back into politics.

              “I think it’ll be very hard for him to get back involved in politics after this just because he’s struggled through this whole entire process,” Fisher told the Detroit Press. “I hope the people that he represented see this and look at him in a positive way. I think he is a good man who deserves to be credited for what he did for his constituents.”

              CNN Reporter Speaks Out Against CEO

                Everything is not well at CNN.

                CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy says staffers in the network’s ranks have lost faith in CEO Chris Licht who has been at the center of controversy in recent weeks.

                “There are a wide range of emotions coursing through the halls of CNN. Some staffers are frustrated. Others are angry. Many are sad about the awful state of affairs that has taken hold of an organization they love,” Darcy wrote in his Reliable Sources media newsletter late Monday. “There is one near-universal sentiment, however, that has been communicated to me: Licht has lost the room.”

                On Monday, Lichet reportedly apologized to CNN staffers during the outlet’s morning editorial call over the negative press attention that has followed the publication of a lengthy profile of him.

                In the piece, published Friday by The Atlantic, Licht was critical of the network’s coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic under the leadership of former top executive Jeff Zucker and discussed his ner vision for the network that focuses on facts rather than sensationalism.

                “In the eyes of so many at CNN, there isn’t anything Licht can do at this point to win over their support,” Darcy wrote. “They’ve hit the wall with him. As one anchor texted me, in reference to Licht’s announcement on Monday that he will relocate his office to a newsroom floor at Hudson Yards: ‘We don’t want his office relocated to the 18th floor, we want it relocated out of the building’.”

                Since taking the reigns at CNN, Licht has made a number of programming changes which say some of the network’s mainstays exit.

                Social Media Erupts Over Dem Responses To Child Cancer Survivor

                  Democrats have some thinking to do…

                  Social media erupted after many Democrat lawmakers notably stayed seated as a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor was asked to be made an honorary Secret Service agent

                  “A terminally ill child with brain cancer is given an honorary Secret Service award and the Democrats refuse to stand or clap for the child,” Trump administration official Ric Grennell tweeted regarding the interaction between the 13-year-old and the president. 

                  “Democrats refused to stand for the brain cancer surviving kid! How awful can one party be?” Outkick founder Clay Travis tweeted.

                  “Democrats didn’t even stand for the boy who survived brain cancer,” Republican activist Scott Pressler posted on X.

                  “Democrats refused to stand or clap for a little boy fighting cancer,” Libs of TikTok posted on X. “Truly sick people.”

                  However, others highlighted the overall importance of the moment. 

                  “This is the first time I can remember crying during a state of the union. Thank you President Trump,” Meghan McCain posted. “This is so beautiful. Anyone who has been impacted by brain cancer knows how special this is.” 

                  McCain’s father, the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., died of brain cancer in 2018. 

                  Disturbing Threat Against Elon Musk Scrawled On NY Overpass: Photos

                    Residents in Rochester, New York, noticed an apparent threat against billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chair Elon Musk.

                    The Daily Wire spoke to two residents who saw the graffiti, photos of which have been posted online. The graffiti reads, “Who will kill Elon?” It was plastered on a 490 off-ramp bridge to Howell Street.

                    Barbara Pierce, Director of Bureau of Communications & Special Events for the City of Rochester, told The Daily Wire via email on Thursday that the “offensive graffiti” was removed “as soon as the city became aware of it.”

                    The Daily Wire also reached out to the Rochester Police Department and New York State police about the incident, but has yet to receive a response.

                    In recent weeks, Democrats have picked up their attacks on Musk, whom they suggest is causing a “constitutional crisis” as he finds waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.

                    This past week, for example, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) called Musk a “d***” who is “harming the American public in an enormous way” and called for Americans to bring “actual weapons to this bar fight.”

                    “What I think is really important and what the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight,” he said on CNN airwaves. “This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country. And it’s important to push back on the chairperson of this committee.”

                    Republican Triumphs As Florida’s Special Congressional Race Ends Surprisingly Close

                      What were once expected to be safe Republican holds turned into unexpected battlegrounds, at least Tuesday night. In two key Florida special congressional races, Democratic turnout surged, tightening margins in districts that previously leaned solid red—but in the end it wasn’t enough.

                      Republican state Senator Randy Fine has officially won the special election for Florida’s 6th Congressional District, defeating Democratic challenger Josh Weil in a closely watched race that drew national attention. The election, held on April 1, 2025, fills the seat vacated by former Congressman Michael Waltz, who left office to become President Trump’s national security advisor.

                      Fine, who secured a commanding lead in the Republican primary, ran a campaign focused on border security, protecting Second Amendment rights and fully backing Trump’s America First agenda. His campaign received a boost from a high-profile endorsement by President Trump, helping to energize Republican turnout in the final stretch.

                      The race was seen as a critical bellwether for GOP momentum heading into next fall, especially with the House majority hanging in the balance. Fine’s win is expected to strengthen the Republican hold in Congress, though Democrats showed surprising competitiveness in a district previously considered reliably red.

                      With his victory, Fine will now head to Washington, where he’s expected to align closely with Trump’s legislative goals and be a reliable vote for the conservative agenda.

                      Early voting data showed Republican advantages shrinking in the Sunshine’s States First and Sixth Congressional Districts dramatically compared to last November, raising alarm bells within GOP circles and prompting calls for an all-hands-on-deck approach to avoid costly losses.

                      With control of the House hanging by a thread, these special elections became a critical test of Republican turnout strength—and a clear warning that Democrats aren’t sitting this cycle out.

                      Fueled by Trump’s ambitious agenda and determined to redeem themselves after last year’s disappointing performance, Democrats appear highly motivated, closing gaps in traditionally red districts and forcing the GOP to fight harder than expected.

                      The results could send a powerful signal about which party has the energy heading into November—and whether Republicans can maintain the momentum needed to defend their historically narrow House majority.
