      It’s about time…

      Attorney General Pam Bondi personally stripped the Justice Department’s walls of portraits of former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and her own predecessor, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, saying it was “ridiculous” for the portraits to still be hanging nearly three weeks into President Donald Trump’s tenure

      Bondi’s role in personally removing the portraits, first shared on X by the New York Post’s Miranda Devine, was confirmed to Fox News Digital by a Justice Department official.

      Bondi “saw portraits of Garland, Biden, Harris were still up, and she took the initiative to take them off the walls herself and stack them in the corner,” the official told Fox News. 

      The actions come after Bondi, who was sworn in earlier this month, vowed during her confirmation hearing in January not to politicize the Justice Department. 

      AOC Targets Trump In Fiery Rant

        Going off…

        Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told President Donald Trump to “look in the mirror” when “he talks about rapists and criminals” during a rally with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Monday.

        Protesting the trading of stocks by sitting members of Congress, Ocasio-Cortez said, “We saw it just happen with Trump’s corrupt and disastrous and rushed tariff scheme. We saw Marjorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. I got one question for her, how much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair?”

        She continued, “No more! We can’t accept it. I hope we see now that it was all about manipulating the market so that he could quietly enrich his friends who bought the dip before reversing it all in the morning.”

        The congresswoman went on, “This is a matter of fact. Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud! Liable for sexual abuse! Or course he’s lying and abusing and manipulating the stock market too! When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror!”

        Ocasio-Cortez concluded, “But back to stocks, to be clear, I don’t care what party you are, Democrat or Republican. It doesn’t matter how powerful one is or the position that one holds, members of Congress holding and trading individual stock is wrong. It is corrosive, it is destructive, and it needs to be banned.”

        Watch:

        Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has been rumored as a potential 2028 primary opponent to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer but has yet to make any announcement.

        However, A government accountability nonprofit is calling on the House to launch a probe into whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., misappropriated her taxpayer-funded member allowance.

        Americans for Public Trust, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, sent a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) on Tuesday, questioning “several troubling expenses” from AOC’s disbursements, which they claim are “in contravention of federal law and the standards of the House of Representatives.”

        Each member of Congess receives a Member Representational Allowance (“MRA”), a budget for official duties that “may not be used for personal or campaign purposes,” according to the Congressional Research Service. However, the “Squad” member is being accused of using these funds for “campaign purposes.”

        AOC reportedly made a payment of $3,700 to a “Juan D Gonzalez” and another for $850 to “Bombazo Dance Co Inc.,” with both expenditures described as being used for “training.”

          A classic case of Hollywood victim elitism.

          Over the weekend, a new movie called “Bros” hit movie theaters starring gay actor Billy Eichner which saw a lukewarm response. The movie which proudly boasts of having an all-LGBT cast cost over $20 million to make but saw less than $5 million in opening-weekend sales.

          While there are likely many factors that contributed to the massive failure Eichner opted to blame “homophobic” Americans for the massive failure despite previously pushing some people to steer clear of the movie.

          MTG Accuses Trump Of Implementing ‘Manufactured Crisis’ To Cancel Midterm Elections

          Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said Sunday that she could envision President Donald Trump declaring a “national emergency” tied to Iran or another crisis, responding to speculation that such a move could affect the upcoming midterm elections.

          The comments came after conservative podcaster Shannon Joy posted on X, “Trump doesn’t seem to care about the midterms. Who wants to bet he’ll declare a ‘national emergency’ because of Iran (or some other manufactured crisis) and try to cancel the elections in November?”

          Greene replied, “Yeah, I could see it. INSANE.”

          Her response follows a recent public break with the president over U.S. military action against Iran. Greene has sharply criticized the strikes in multiple social media posts, arguing they run counter to the “America First” platform that helped elect Trump.

          “The Trump admin actually asked in a poll how many casualties voters were willing to accept in a war with Iran???” Greene wrote Saturday on X. “How about ZERO you bunch of sick f*cking liars. We voted for America First and ZERO wars.”

          In another post, she added: “This is NOT freeing the Iranian people!!! This is murdering their children!!! WTF are you insane people doing??? AMERICA DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS!!!”

          The exchange comes amid debate within Republican circles about the administration’s decision to strike Iran. Critics have questioned the timing, noting that Trump said in June that prior U.S. strikes had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

          In an interview Sunday with Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich, Trump defended the latest action, saying that without U.S. and Israeli missile strikes, Iran “would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks.”

          However, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) offered a more measured assessment during an appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

          “I don’t have present-day intelligence on what progress they had made toward rebuilding nuclear weapons since we bombed their facilities,” Cruz said. “I have no indication that they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons, because our bombing was devastating… That’s one of the reasons I urged President Trump, ‘Now is the time’” to strike.

          The midterm elections, scheduled for November, are expected to be closely contested, with some political analysts projecting potential Republican losses in key districts. Greene’s comments reflect broader concerns among some conservatives about U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts and their potential domestic political implications.

          A January report from Roll Call cited a prior Oval Office meeting in which Trump discussed elections during wartime. According to the report, during an Aug. 18 meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about the conditions required to restart elections in Ukraine.

          “So you say, during the war, you can’t have elections,” Trump mused, according to the report. “So you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. I wonder what the fake news would say to that.”

          Trump Openly Backs Candidate In Tennessee Special Election

          By

          Former President Trump is urging Tennessee voters to support Republican Matt Van Epps in Tuesday’s special election to fill the state’s vacant 7th Congressional District seat, claiming—without evidence—that Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn “openly disdains Country music.”

          “I am asking all America First Patriots in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, who haven’t voted yet, to please GET OUT AND VOTE on Election Day, Tuesday, December 2nd, for a phenomenal Candidate, Matt Van Epps,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social.

          Trump further escalated his criticism of Behn in the post, alleging: “Matt is fighting against a woman who hates Christianity, will take away your guns, wants Open Borders, Transgender for everybody, men in women’s sports, and openly disdains Country music. She said all of these things precisely, and without question — IT’S ON TAPE!”

          Van Epps, previously the commissioner of the Tennessee Department of General Services, is running against Behn, a state representative, to succeed former Rep. Mark Green (R). Green resigned earlier this year to pursue a private-sector opportunity, triggering the special election.

          Background on the Controversy

          Republicans have seized on remarks Behn made in a 2020 episode of the podcast Grits, where she said:
          “I’ve been heavily involved in the Nashville mayoral race because I hate this city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music. I hate all the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it city’ to the rest of the country.”

          Behn has since clarified that the comments were made in frustration and do not reflect her views as an elected official. In a video released last month, she explained:

          “Now, I always want Nashville to be better, right? I want Nashville to be a place where working people can thrive, right? But sure, I get mad at the bachelorette [parties] sometimes, I get mad at the pedal taverns, right? Talking to someone who has cried no less than 10 times in the Country Music Hall of Fame.”

          She added in a corresponding post: “NO, I DO NOT HATE THE CITY I REPRESENT,” punctuating the statement with three laughing emojis.

          Behn Campaign Response

          Behn’s campaign manager, Kate Briefs, responded sharply to Trump’s attack, saying the former president is lying “because he is panicking about his tanking approval numbers as Tennessee voters hold him accountable for his failed economic policies that are raising their costs, while lowering taxes for their billionaire donors.”

          Context: Why This Special Election Has Drawn Attention

          Tennessee’s 7th District is traditionally a reliably Republican seat, and Van Epps enters the race with a structural advantage. Still, Democrats see the contest as an opportunity to demonstrate voter enthusiasm heading into the 2026 midterms—particularly if they can outperform expectations in a deep-red district.

          Special elections in off-years often serve as indicators of base energy for both parties. National Democrats have been encouraged by recent overperformances in similar contests across the country and hope Behn can replicate that trend.

          Polling Suggests a Competitive Race

          At least one survey—conducted last week by Emerson College Polling and The Hill—suggests the race may be closer than expected. The poll showed Behn and Van Epps running neck and neck, signaling that Democratic enthusiasm and Trump’s polarizing involvement may be tightening the contest.

          Trump Awards Charlie Kirk Presidential Medal Of Freedom

            The White House posthumously awarded late political activist Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor

            “Although he was taken from us far too soon, his legacy will inspire generations to come and outlive us all,” “The Charlie Kirk Show” executive producer Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital. “He represents the very best of America and is deserving of this and every other possible accolade. Thank you to President Trump for quite literally shifting world events to honor Charlie on what would have been his 32nd birthday.” 

            “Only Charlie could do that,” Kolvet added. 

            Kirk was assassinated Sept. 10 while attending a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University’s campus. The conservative movement leader was sitting under a tent while chatting with students when a shot rang out and struck Kirk in the neck, killing him.

            Trump announced in September that he would posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, calling him “a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.” 

            “I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on,” Trump said Sept. 11 when announcing he would award Kirk the honor. 

            TPUSA’s Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer told Fox Digital that the award ceremony will be felt by every youth who has been involved with the conservative advocacy group. 

            “Charlie will be honored today on behalf of the millions of conservative activists he helped lift up to save the movement and the country. Today in the White House this award will be felt by every young man and young woman who was impacted by his work. They can wear it too by carrying on doing the work,” Bowyer said. 

            David Engelhardt, lead pastor of Kings’ Church New York City and board member of TPUSA, told Fox News Digital that it’s a “profound privilege to be able to witness this moment recognizing Charlie’s courage, conviction, and leadership in defense of faith and freedom.”

            The award ceremony was held at the White House and came on the heels of Trump’s return from the Middle East earlier Tuesday after Trump announced an end to the war in Gaza, which has raged since 2023.

            Department of Justice Publishes Affidavit Used for FBI Raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Resort

              The Justice Department has officially released the redacted affidavit used to obtain the search warrant used by the FBI in its recent raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence under the direction of U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart.

              A website where the federal judge in Florida is unsealing documents relating to the FBI’s raid is repeatedly crashing because of surging demand.

              “The government is conducting a criminal investigation concerning the improper removal and storage of classified information in unauthorized spaces, as well as the unlawful concealment or removal of government records,” the affidavit states. 

              Approximately 20 pages of the 38-page affidavit were either significantly or fully redacted.

              The FBI said it had “probable cause to believe” that records containing classified information, including National Defense Information, would be found within Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in addition to what he had previously turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration according to the document.

              Read the redacted affidavit below:

              Judge Bruce Reinhart gave the Justice Department until noon on Thursday to submit the redacted document after rejecting the Justice Department’s pressure to keep the record under seal.

              Fox News reports:

              Reinhart said that after reviewing the Justice Department’s redaction, the government “has met its burden of showing a compelling reason” and “good cause to seal portions of the Affidavit,” saying the disclosure would reveal “the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents, and uncharged parties,” the investigation’s “strategy, direction, scope, sources, and methods, and “grand jury information” protected by federal rules. 

              Reinhart said that after reviewing the affidavit with redactions, he has determined that the Justice Department “has met its burden of showing that its proposed redactions are narrowly tailored to serve the Government’s legitimate interest in the integrity of the ongoing investigation and are the least onerous alternative to sealing the entire Affidavit.” 

              On Monday, Judge Reinhart wrote in a memo that he was inclined to make parts of the document public, saying it would “promote public understanding of historically significant events.” The DOJ pressured Reinhart to keep the document under wraps out of concern Trump supporters would retaliate against witnesses.

              Ahead of the affidavit’s release, Trump slammed the Justice Department’s “political hacks and thugs” in a statement shared to Truth Social.

              “The political hacks and thugs had no right under the Presidential Records Act to storm Mar-a-Lago and steal everything in sight including passports and privileged documents. They even broke into my safe with a safecracker – Can you believe?” Trump added. “This Act was created for a very good reason, and it works. We are right now living in a Lawless Country that just so happens to be, also, a Failing Nation!”

              When asked if national security could’ve been compromised by Trump’s handling of classified documents, Biden deferred to the ongoing investigation

              Trump has responded following the affidavit’s release calling for Judge Reinhart’s immediate recusal from the case.

              “Judge Bruce Reinhart should NEVER have allowed the Break-In of my home. He recused himself two months ago from one of my cases based on his animosity and hatred of your favorite President, me,” Trump wrote on his Truth social account. “What changed? Why hasn’t he recused himself on this case? Obama must be very proud of him right now!

              President Joe Biden dismissed claims from Trump that he broadly declassified the boxes of White House documents he took to Florida after leaving office.

              “I’ve declassified everything in the world. I’m president,” Biden said sarcastically, waving his hands in the air to reporters outside of the White House. “Come on.”

              Republican lawmakers have shared harsh reactions to the substantial redactions since the affidavit’s publication.

              Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs shared a screenshot of one of the heavily redacted pages and called for more transparency on this Twitter.

              North Carolina Congressman echoed calls for transparency in his own message.

              Conservative report Elijah Schafer shared a touch-and-cheek message about the redacted document as well.

              Kari Lake Calls On Arizona GOP Chair To Resign

                On Wednesday, Arizona GOP chairman Jeff Dewit resigned after leaked audio appeared to show him attempting to bribe Senate candidate Kari Lake.

                On Tuesday, Lake demanded the chair resign after a recording surfaced of him appearing to offer Lake money in exchange for ending her Senate campaign.

                The recording, first reported by The Daily Mail, purports to capture DeWit offering Lake money in exchange for her staying out of politics for two years.

                “There are very powerful people who want to keep you out,” DeWit reportedly told Lake in the recording, saying only that these figures were from the “east.”

                “Just say, is there a number at which,” DeWit begins, before being cut off.

                “I can be bought? That’s what it’s about,” Lake retorted.

                “You can take a pause for a couple of years,” DeWit continued. “You can go right back to what you’re doing.”

                Lake said she would not accept a billion dollars to leave the Senate race.

                The former TV news anchor and current rising MAGA star’s Senate campaign has been met with some hesitation from Republican strongholds who would reportedly prefer a stronger fundraiser in the race.

                She said Tuesday that she didn’t have anyone in mind to replace DeWit.

                “I haven’t given it a lot of thought. What I want to do is make sure we get the corrupt people out,” she said.

                On Monday, the chair of the Maricopa County GOP, Craig Berland, also called on DeWit to resign.

                “If this is, in fact, true, I’m asking AZGOP Chairman Jeff DeWit to resign,” he said in a statement about the recording.

                Hegseth Confirms Leader Behind Trump Assassination Effort Has Been ‘Hunted Down and Killed’

                Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Wednesday that the Iranian leader behind multiple assassination attempts against President Donald Trump was killed during U.S. strikes on Iran over the weekend as part of Operation Epic Fury.

                “The leader of the unit that attempted to assassinate Trump has been hunted down and killed,” Hegseth said during a press conference Wednesday morning.

                “Iran tried to kill President Trump and President Trump got the last laugh,” Hegseth continued. “Now, this is not a ‘mission accomplished’ situation. This is simply a reality check.”

                U.S. officials confirmed earlier this week that strikes against Iran, which began Saturday, killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior figures in the regime’s leadership.

                The military campaign comes amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran following repeated threats from Iran against Trump after the 2020 U.S. strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani.

                In 2024, Iran-linked actors attempted to arrange an assassination plot targeting Trump. The U.S. government has also previously warned of other Iranian efforts to target the former president.

                In 2022, an Iranian video depicted an assassination attempt on Trump while he played golf.

                Trump referenced those threats during a phone call with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl earlier this week following reports of Khamenei’s death.

                “I got him before he got me,” Trump said.

                “They tried twice,” Trump continued, referring to Iran’s previous attempts on his life. “Well, I got him first.”

                During Wednesday’s press conference, Hegseth said the combined power of U.S. and Israeli intelligence and military forces is rapidly weakening Iran’s ability to respond.

                “America is winning decisively, devastatingly and without mercy,” Hegseth said.

                He also emphasized that the current military campaign was never intended to be evenly matched.

                “This was never meant to be a fair fight and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be,” he said.

                Iran has launched retaliatory attacks in response to the strikes. A drone strike in Kuwait earlier this week killed at least six Americans, according to U.S. officials. Hegseth vowed those casualties would be avenged.

                He said:

                “As President Trump said, more and larger waves are coming. We are just getting started. We are accelerating, not decelerating. Iran’s capabilities are evaporating by the hour, while American strength grows fiercer, smarter and utterly dominant. More bombers and more fighters are arriving just today. And now, with complete control of the skies, we will be using 500-pound, 1,000-pound and 2,000 pound GPS and laser-guided precision gravity bombs, of which we have a nearly unlimited stockpile. We used more exquisite standoff munitions at the start, but no longer need to. Our stockpiles of those, as well as patriots, remains extremely strong.”

                Hegseth added that the United States has the capacity to sustain the conflict if necessary.

                He warned the U.S. can “sustain this fight easily for as along as we need to.”

                The defense secretary compared Iran’s situation to a football team that had prepared only the opening portion of a game.

                “I liken Iran’s predicament to a football team who scripted the first 20 plays of a game,” he said. “The team knew what plays to run because their first few drives were scripted. But now that the game has started and the blitz is on, they don’t know what plays call, let alone how to get in the huddle and call those plays.”

                Hegseth concluded by saying the strikes represent Trump getting the “last laugh” against Iran.

                Turning Point is funding the largest ballot-chasing operation in U.S. history to win key battleground states. Our grassroots army is already in the field for 2026 and beyond. But they can’t stay there without your support. Donate today to help win the midterms, protect the America First movement, and keep conservatives in power.

                CNN Commentator Insults Melania Trump After Speaking On Assassination Attempt

                  The claws came out at CNN…

                  CNN commentator Maria Cardona called former first lady Melania Trump “irrelevant” on Tuesday after she released a video discussing the recent attempt on her husband’s life.

                  The former first lady released a 34-second clip on Tuesday calling on the “truth” about the assassination attempt on her husband, Republican nominee Donald Trump, to be uncovered.

                  “Obviously as a wife of somebody who did go through an attempted assassination, she’s absolutely entitled to say whatever she wants about that. I think she’s irrelevant, frankly, and I don’t think this will matter,” Cardona said. “I do think that it does kinda feed into conspiracy theories that we’ve heard out there, but at the end of the day, what people are going to pay attention on tonight is what Kamala Harris says about what she wants to do with another four years, and if she does her job right, and I believe she will.”

                  CNN political commentator David Urban pushed back earlier in the segment against accusations that Melania’s claims are a conspiracy

                  “I think she’s asking ‘how the hell could this have happened?’ There were local law enforcement who did their job,” Urban said. “There are failures up and down the chain of command and the Secret Service, there are a lot of answers that people want.”

She obviously loves her husband, Barron loves his father, and I think that she’s trying to humanize him.”
