Raw Story: ‘Blindsided and annoyed’: Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi insiders tell of fury at Tulsi Gabbard

Attorney General Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi found herself scrambling to contain the political fallout after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hijacked her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein crisis and launched an uncoordinated attack on Barack Obama, according to several sources close to the AG.

Gabbard, reportedly desperate to repair her standing with Trump after being “excoriated” and excluded from recent meetings, suddenly demanded [Bimbo #3] Bondi investigate what she called a “treasonous conspiracy” by Obama officials regarding the 2016 Russia investigation.

The move caught [Bimbo #3] Bondi completely off-guard, the sources told The New York Times. Fresh off a nasty fight with top FBI officials over the mess regarding her announcement that an Epstein client list didn’t exist, the attorney general was given “little warning” that Gabbard was about to dump the Obama investigation in her lap, sources said.

Sources inside her camp told the Times she “felt blindsided and annoyed.”

Gabbard made the announcement earlier this week, then went into detail during a surprise appearance at a White House press conference on Wednesday.

“She’s, like, hotter than everybody. She’s the hottest one in the room right now,” Trump declared at a White House event Tuesday, signaling Gabbard was back in his good graces after her diversionary attack relieved pressure from the “never-ending Epstein file crisis.”

But the stunt put [Bimbo #3] Bondi in an “nearly untenable position.” Her staff scrambled for a solution that would satisfy Trump without committing to a politically explosive Obama investigation with “unpredictable legal and political consequences.”

Hours after Gabbard’s provocative White House briefing, [Bimbo #3] Bondi’s deputies posted an ambiguous statement announcing a “strike force” to examine the accusations—though details about the group’s operations and timeline remained absent.

A spokesman for Obama dismissed the attacks as “ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”

Current and former officials warned that building a coherent conspiracy case against Obama-era intelligence officials would be “challenging,” while prosecuting Obama himself would be “practically impossible” given Supreme Court immunity protections.

Gabbard stepped far outside traditional intelligence boundaries by directly accusing Obama of criminal wrongdoing, the Times reported.

“The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,” she claimed, though she “produced no evidence of wrongdoing.”

Republican senators offered [Bimbo #3] Bondi an escape route by suggesting a special counsel—forcing her into a “tactical U-turn” since she’s opposed such appointments in political cases.

Raw Story: Tom Homan spews insults as he challenges ‘ultra MAGA’ protester to fight

Tom “Pugsley” Homan = low-class thug with no class whatsoever!

Kudos to the protestor who “owned” Pugsley with that parody of what Pugsley and his flunkies had tried to do regarding an innocent detainee!

Pugsley is just too stupid to realize how he was being mocked here.

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan didn’t hold back when faced with a heckler during a conservative conference over the weekend, launching into a profanity-laced tirade that included questioning the protester’s masculinity.

“Are you a MS-13 member?” a man shouted at Homan during a speech at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida on Saturday. The heckler, ironically sporting Trump gear including an “I identify as ultra MAGA” t-shirt and Trump hat, carried a poster of Homan. He was escorted out to boos from the crowd.

But rather than ignoring the disruption, Homan seized the moment to unleash a stream of insults, the Daily Beast reported.

“Come up here and hand me that picture? Bring it,” Homan challenged, before whipping the crowd into “U-S-A” chants. Then came the personal attacks: “They’ve got morons like this all over the country … this guy ain’t got the balls to be an ICE officer. He hasn’t got the balls to be a border patrol agent.”

The border czar’s verbal assault didn’t stop there. “This guy lives in his mother’s basement. The only thing that surprises me is that you don’t got purple hair and a nose ring. Get out of here, you loser … If you’re such a bada–, meet me offstage in 13 minutes and 50 seconds.”

The crescendo of Homan’s rant came with a crude attack on the protester’s masculinity: “I guarantee you he sits down to pee,” he said.

Misogynist!

Though it’s unknown what sparked the protest, Homan is one of thefaces of Trump’s immigration crackdown, which has sparked massive unrest. The White House has set a target of 3,000 immigration arrests each day as part of a drive for mass deportations across the country.

The administration’s aggressive approach has triggered widespread resistance, particularly in liberal strongholds like Los Angeles, where widespread demonstrations broke out in early June against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The protests led Trump to deploy 4,000 members of the National Guard and 700 Marines to quell the unrest over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Despite the growing opposition, Homan remained defiant about the administration’s plans. “We’re going to do the job that President Trump gave us to do,” he declared.

Raw Story: ‘Cried every night’: 6-year-old cancer patient detained nearly 2 months by ICE

A 6-year-old Honduran boy battling leukemia was detained — along with his family — by President Donald Trump’s ICE agents despite following every immigration rule, the boy’s lawyer told Salon.

The family’s nightmare began when they were seized by plainclothes ICE agents after a court hearing in May.

“The boy and his 9-year-old sister cried every night in detention,” attorney Elora Mukherjee told Salon. The government pursued expedited removal while the cancer patient suffered in a Texas detention facility that Biden had shuttered but Trump reopened.

“The Trump administration’s policy of detaining people at courthouses who are doing everything right, who are entirely law-abiding, who are trying to fulfill all the requirements that the U.S. government asks of them — it violates our Constitution, it violates our federal laws,” Mukherjee said. “It also violates our sense of morality.”

The family had fled Honduras after receiving death threats, applied for asylum through proper channels, and waited for permission to enter using a CBP appointment. They never crossed the border illegally, the lawyer said.

“So this particular family did everything right,” Mukherjee emphasized.

During their month-long detention at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the boy experienced leukemia symptoms including easy bruising and bone pain. He missed a crucial June 5 cancer appointment. His sister barely ate.

Jeff Migliozzi from Freedom for Immigrants blasted Trump’s “aggressivequota of 3,000 daily immigration arrests — a policy pushed by hardliners in the White House like known white nationalist Stephen Miller — is terrorizing communities.”

The administration’s “bait-and-switch tactics” increasingly target people at scheduled check-ins and courthouses, Migliozzi said. “Here you have people doing everything they can to follow the instructions given to them, and then the rug is pulled out from under them.”

The family was released July 2 after public pressure and media coverage, but only after enduring traumatic detention that Mukherjee said “clearly violates both the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment.”

“High-level officials in the Department of Homeland Security constantly say that we are targeting the ‘worst of the worst,'” Mukherjee noted. “These are the people who are doing everything right.”

Raw Story: ‘Heck of a job’: Kristi Noem hammered in vicious attack from Texas newspaper

As the horror of the Texas floods continues to reverberate around the state, a major newspaper’s editorial board aimed a brutal attack on the Donald Trump government’s response.

And it saved a particularly vicious putdown for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Starting with praise for the way Texas’ community has pulled together to support itself, the Houston Chronicle quickly showed its admiration did not extend to the nation’s leaders.

“Judging by recent reporting on the Hill Country floods, however, some officials in Washington are more focused on saving cash than helping Texans recover,” the board wrote.

It listed what it saw as failures in the days after a girls’ summer camp was deluged, more than 130 people were declared dead and many more missing.

Among them was the Federal Emergency Management Agency “bizarrely” laying off workers at its disaster call center days after the flood — leaving thousands of affected community members unable to get help.

“Internal emails even show that officials knew they were failing at their task and needed the secretary to extend the call center contracts,” the Chronicle wrote. “We still do not have a decision, waiver or signature from the DHS Secretary,” one FEMA employee wrote in a July 8 email to colleagues.”

The editorial board declared, “Leaving disaster victims on hold isn’t governmental efficiency. It’s heartless.”

But it went on, hitting Noem for reportedly waiting 72 hours to send help because of “self-imposed red tape.”

“Noem has mandated that she personally review and approve expenses over $100,000 — including, say, deploying search-and-rescue teams after a flood that left more than 100 dead,” the board wrote.

‘It’s true Texas has done an admirable job bolstering our own disaster response,” the board continued.

But, it concluded, “Given the compounding scandals, Texans can be forgiven for any flashbacks to FEMA’s disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina.

“ … Even the president’s typically sharp tongue seems to have been replaced by embarrassing Bushisms. Trump’s claim that Noem was “right on the ball” is just his version of “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.”

Raw Story: ‘I’m not thrilled’: Trump greets sultan’s gift with childish sulk

President Donald Trump went into a childish sulk over a gift handed to him as he left the United Arab Emirates Friday.

In video posted to X by Trump’s special assistant Margo Martin, the president finished his first foreign diplomatic trip by accepting the present.

He immediately mocked it — to his host’s face.

The gift was a glass container holding a small amount of oil. It was handed to Trump by the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., Sultan Al Jaber.

Ungrateful boor!
