DCPundit.comTruth Over Comfort, Facts Over Fiction

(DC Pundit) – President Trump personally weighed in regarding the Bondi-Bongino clash on Saturday afternoon, and let’s just say he wasn’t thrilled about having to intervene in what should have been a unified administration.

On Friday it was reported that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took a day off from work after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files.

The blowup between Bondi and Bongino happened after the DOJ released a 2-page memo concluding Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he committed suicide.

“Bongino is out of control furious,” a person who spoke with the deputy FBI director said, according to NBC News. “This destroyed his career. He’s threatening to quit and torch Pam unless she’s fired.”

Trump responded to the controversy on Truth Social: “What’s going on with my ‘boys’and, in some cases,’gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, ‘THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,’ and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called ‘friends’ are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the ‘HOTTEST’ Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Our loyalty to President Trump is unwavering, but our commitment to transparency is equally strong. All files and any “client list” that may exist should be made public. The victims have endured enough, they deserve the truth, and so do the American people.

(DC Pundit) – Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett has delivered what might be the most tone-deaf political commentary of the year, simultaneously insulting American voters while accidentally telling the truth about her own profession. In a recent podcast appearance that’s generating significant backlash, Crockett managed to achieve the impressive feat of being both condescending and honest in the same breath.

During an interview on The Jamal Bryant Podcast “Let’s Be Clear,” released Thursday, Crockett displayed the kind of elitist attitude that has become synonymous with modern Democratic politics. Her comments reveal the party’s fundamental disconnect with ordinary Americans who dare to think for themselves rather than blindly following progressive talking points.

“Most people voted the wrong way because they were uneducated,” Crockett declared with arrogance. Nothing says “vote for me” quite like telling constituents they’re too stupid to make proper decisions.

Sensing she might have stepped in it, Crockett attempted to walk back her statement with all the grace of a politician caught on a hot mic. “And that’s not to call them dumb,” she clarified, apparently believing this distinction would somehow soften the blow. She then explained that real life gets in the way of proper voting decisions, saying, “You’re trying to keep a roof over your head, keep food on the table, trying to make sure that your kids have what they need. And so you’re not tuned in.”

How thoughtful of Representative Crockett to acknowledge that working Americans are busy with trivial matters like feeding their families and paying their bills. Clearly, these people should be spending more time absorbing the wisdom of their Democratic betters instead of focusing on such mundane concerns as survival.

The interview, conducted with Bryant, a Georgia-based preacher, centered on the state’s upcoming U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races in 2026. Crockett’s strategy for victory involves what she calls an education campaign, though one suspects her definition of “education” might differ from what most Americans would recognize.

“I need y’all to understand that it’s not going to be good enough that you go out and vote. You got to make sure you’re educating people,” Crockett instructed.

“Educate, educate, educate, kick, drag, scream, do whatever you have to do, because we say every election is a matter of life and death,” Crockett said, revealing the kind of desperation that emerges when a political party realizes it’s losing touch with the very people it claims to represent.

Perhaps most surprisingly, Crockett delivered an unexpected moment of honesty when she admitted that people are often right in thinking that most politicians are “crooks” and “liars.” This rare glimpse of self-awareness provides a fascinating window into how Democratic politicians actually view their own profession.

“So, one of the things that I tell people all the time is that most people don’t really want to hear from a politician,” she said. “They don’t trust us. A lot of people think that we are crooks, and frankly, a lot of them are. A lot of them think that they are liars and, frankly, a lot of them are.”

If Crockett acknowledges that many of her colleagues are dishonest criminals, why should voters trust her assessment of their intelligence? It’s a bit rich to simultaneously claim moral authority over voters’ decisions while admitting your profession is filled with corrupt liars.

As President Trump continues to deliver results for hardworking Americans, Democrats like Crockett seem increasingly out of touch with the concerns of ordinary citizens. Her podcast appearance serves as a perfect reminder of why conservative leadership resonates with voters who want results, not lectures about their supposed inadequacies.

(DC Pundit) – Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase and one of the most powerful voices on Wall Street, just lit a political fire under the Democratic Party, and he didn’t use banker-speak to do it. During a stop in Ireland this week, Dimon gave his unfiltered assessment of today’s Democrats: “big hearts and little brains.”

Dimon flat-out called many in the Democratic Party “idiots,” accusing them of being entirely disconnected from how the real world operates. And coming from a man who oversees the largest bank in the United States, that’s not exactly a throwaway comment.

“I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they are idiots,” Dimon said. “I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works.” Not exactly the kind of language you hear in a Harvard business seminar — but it’s precisely the kind of blunt truth that millions of Americans have been thinking for years.

Dimon slammed the party’s obsession with diversity quotas and woke virtue-signaling, saying Democrats have gone too far down the DEI rabbit hole while ignoring practical policy that could help struggling Americans. “We all were devoted to reaching out to the black community, Hispanic, the LGBT community, the disabled — we do all of that. But to the extent, they gotta stop it. And they gotta go back to being more practical. They’re very ideological,” he explained.

Dimon also took aim at New York City politics, specifically urging voters to steer clear of Zohran Mamdani, the self-proclaimed socialist who recently won the Democratic primary for NYC mayor. “He’s more of a Marxist than a socialist,” Dimon said, slamming Mamdani’s platform of rent freezes, free public transit, and government-owned grocery stores. Because nothing says “modern governance” like handing over your food supply to city hall.

Dimon criticized Democrats for fawning over Mamdani’s campaign, sarcastically noting, “Now you see these Democrats falling all over themselves saying, ‘Well, he’s pointing out some real problems, affordable housing and grocery prices.’” Sure, because the answer to high prices is clearly to centralize the food chain.

The fact that one of the most influential financiers in the world is calling out Democrats for being disconnected, overly ideological, and borderline Marxist in their policies should be a serious wake-up call… if they were capable of hearing it.

Instead, the left is likely to write Dimon off as just another rich guy protecting his interests, even though he’s long supported outreach to minority communities and practical social policy. But that’s the problem: the modern Democratic Party doesn’t seem to want practical. It wants ideological purity, slogans over substance, and policies so detached from economic reality that even Jamie Dimon couldn’t resist calling it what it is.

(DC Pundit) – The firestorm inside the federal government over the Epstein files isn’t cooling down anytime soon, and now it looks like it could claim another high-profile name. FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly so fed up with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case that he’s considering stepping down if Deputy Director Dan Bongino walks away.

Yes, Bongino’s frustration could now lead to a full-blown shakeup at the top.

According to Axios and other outlets, Bongino didn’t show up for work Friday after a heated clash with Bondi over the Epstein documents. While some insiders thought he had already quit, others said he was simply taking a breather. Either way, the message was clear: Bongino is done playing along while Bondi sits on key files tied to one of the most powerful and disturbing scandals in recent American history.

Sources confirm to me the blow up between Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi is very real. This has been brewing for four months and came to a head at the White House on Wednesday.

He has not been in the office since.

Most of the frustration at FBI relates to her handling of Epstein…

And now, Patel may be following him out the door.

On Sunday night, Axios revealed that a new memo from the FBI and DOJ claimed that Jeffrey Epstein had no “client list” and wasn’t murdered in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019. According to the report, Epstein’s death is still being called a suicide, and no blackmail network is being acknowledged.

In other words, just another tidy little conclusion to a case that stinks to high heaven, and the American people are supposed to swallow it without question.

As Axios reported, Bongino was blamed internally for a “missing minute” in the surveillance footage, an oversight that conveniently adds another layer of confusion to an already suspicious story. CNN added fuel to the fire, reporting that Bongino has told people he’s thinking about resigning, though he hasn’t made a final decision.

But it was The Daily Wire that dropped the real bomb: Bongino has reportedly said he won’t stay at the FBI if Bondi remains at the DOJ. And not long after that report, The Daily Wire followed up with another — Kash Patel, too, is reaching his limit. He’s frustrated not only with Bondi’s refusal to release critical documents, but also with the overall stonewalling that’s kept the Epstein case sealed tighter than Fort Knox.

BREAKING: Source close to Dan Bongino tells me it’s either him or Pam Bondi, and that he won’t stay at FBI if she stays at DOJ.

MORE: Source close to DOJ says Kash Patel also wants Pam Bondi gone, and that he’d consider leaving if Bongino leaves. Also that there are more frustrations with other documents Bondi hasn’t released. https://t.co/e1WYXHxdRN

It doesn’t take a political genius to figure out why. Patel and Bongino aren’t exactly the types to cover for the rich and powerful. These are men who’ve made careers out of speaking the truth, even when it’s inconvenient. If they’re threatening to walk over this, it means the corruption is worse than most Americans realize.

Americans have been waiting for years to get real answers about Epstein’s network—who he trafficked, who he protected, and who helped him. Yet instead of transparency, we get conveniently timed memos, missing footage, and top-tier frustration from the very people tasked with cleaning up the mess.

The fact that Bongino and Patel are the ones now under pressure, rather than the people who’ve spent years blocking the full release of these documents, tells you everything you need to know.

At this point, the question isn’t whether there’s a cover-up. The question is: how far will they go to keep the Epstein files buried?

(DC Pundit) – It looks like things are heating up inside the administration, and not in a good way. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly took the day off Friday after a serious blowup with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files.

According to Axios, the clash happened Wednesday at the White House, right as the administration scrambled to walk back earlier claims about Epstein, this time saying there’s no “client list,” and that Epstein wasn’t murdered in his Manhattan prison cell in 2019.

Sure. And Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation, right?

After Bongino didn’t show up to work on Friday, rumors swirled that he’d quit. But officials insist he’s still on the job, just probably rethinking how long he wants to be part of a team that won’t let the truth about Epstein come out.

Laura Loomer also confirmed the Bongino-Bondi clash.

SCOOP:@FBIDirectorKash and @dbongino are LIVID with @AGPamBondi over her DOJ Memo and the lack of transparency from her office regarding the Jeffery Epstein files.

Source tells me Dan Bongino is taking the day off today from his job as Deputy Director of the FBI, and there’s…

— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) July 11, 2025

NewsNation added more: a source close to the White House said that both Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel wanted to release the Epstein documents months ago but were blocked by DOJ leadership.

“I believe with full certainty that if Kash Patel and Dan Bongino had the power to operate separately from the DOJ, that they would have unsealed and released every single piece of evidence they could, while protecting victims, months ago,” the source told NewsNation.

That’s the part Americans should focus on, two men trying to bring transparency to one of the most evil criminal networks in U.S. history, blocked by the very government that’s supposed to protect us.

The Epstein case was never just about Epstein. It’s about power, blackmail, and elite immunity. And if Bongino is blowing a gasket behind closed doors, that should tell you just how deep this corruption runs.

Pam Bondi has yet to truly explain why the DOJ keeps stonewalling the release of files that could expose the rich and powerful who partied with a convicted child predator.

The American people deserve answers. We’ve waited long enough. Dan Bongino knows it. Kash Patel knows it. And anyone paying attention knows it too.

The only question left is: who’s still trying to bury the truth?

(DC Pundit) – Harvard University, that bastion of Ivy League prestige, is reportedly mulling a $1 billion plan to cozy up to conservative scholarship, all while President Donald Trump’s administration keeps the heat on. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the idea of a conservative-leaning institute has been kicking around Cambridge, with a price tag estimated between $500 million and $1 billion. The move, it seems, is Harvard’s attempt to dodge the Trump administration’s relentless scrutiny while pretending to embrace “viewpoint diversity.” Oh, how noble of them.

A Harvard spokesperson insisted the university is all in on promoting “viewpoint diversity,” claiming the proposed institute “will ensure exposure to the broadest ranges of perspectives on issues, and will not be partisan, but rather will model the use of evidence-based, rigorous logic and a willingness to engage with opposing views.” Sounds like they’ve been practicing that line in front of a mirror, hoping it sticks. But let’s be real: when only 3 percent of Harvard’s faculty identified as conservative in a 2023 student newspaper survey, it’s hard to believe this isn’t just a shiny new coat of paint on a deeply progressive institution.

The timing couldn’t be more telling, as the Trump administration is zeroing in on Harvard’s handling of international students and alleged anti-Semitic incidents on campus. The Department of Homeland Security dropped a bombshell this week, slapping Harvard with administrative subpoenas over its international student programs. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin didn’t mince words: “We tried to do things the easy way with Harvard. Now, through their refusal to cooperate, we have to do things the hard way.” Ouch.

McLaughlin went on, accusing Harvard of allowing “foreign students to abuse their visa privileges and advocate for violence and terrorism on campus.” The Trump administration’s message is clear: if Harvard won’t protect its students, the feds will. The Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services have also warned the New England Commission of Higher Education, Harvard’s accreditor, that the university “is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore may fail to meet the standards for accreditation.” Education Secretary Linda McMahon pulled no punches, stating, “By allowing anti-Semitic harassment and discrimination to persist unchecked on its campus, Harvard University has failed in its obligation to students, educators, and American taxpayers.”

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., echoed the sentiment: “When an institution—no matter how prestigious—abandons its mission and fails to protect its students, it forfeits the legitimacy that accreditation is designed to uphold.” This administration’s stance is a rallying cry for conservatives who’ve long viewed elite universities as out-of-touch echo chambers.

But let’s not kid ourselves, Harvard’s proposed conservative center smells like a desperate PR stunt. The Wall Street Journal, citing an unnamed source, noted that Trump’s team sees it as “window-dressing” and not a serious fix for their concerns. Harvard, on the other hand, thinks it can thread the needle: toss in a center modeled after Stanford’s Hoover Institution, sprinkle some conservative ideas into the mix, and keep their progressive kingdom intact. Good luck with that. A 2023 Harvard survey revealed only a third of graduating students felt comfortable discussing ideas on campus, it’s clear the university has a deeper problem than a $1 billion Band-Aid can fix.
