REVEALED: Chuck Schumer’s Secret Meeting With Biden Just Minutes Before Trump Assassination Attempt

(DC Pundit) – Senator Chuck Schumer’s secret rendezvous with President Joe Biden at his Delaware beach house on July 13, 2024, turned out to be more dramatic than anyone could have imagined. The meeting, which took place just before a botched assassination attempt on now President-elect Donald Trump, has since been dubbed “The Beach House Ultimatum” by political pundits.

The New York Times, ever the bastion of journalistic discretion, reported that Schumer had come armed with this message: “If you run and you lose to Trump, and we lose the Senate, and we don’t get back the House, that 50 years of amazing, beautiful work goes out the window,” Schumer said, according to The Times. “But worse — you go down in American history as one of the darkest figures.”

You can almost hear the ominous music swelling in the background as Schumer delivered his political death knell: “If I were you, I wouldn’t run, and I’m urging you not to run.”

Schumer, channeling his inner Vegas bookie, informed Biden that his internal pollsters gave him a whopping 5 percent chance of winning against Trump.

In a moment of apparent desperation, Biden reportedly asked Schumer if he thought Kamala Harris could actually win.

Shortly after Schumer’s dire warning, at 6:11 pm, Trump miraculously survived an assassination attempt. Trump was shot in the ear after he turned his head at the last millisecond to look at a chart covering illegal immigration.

The New York Times, in its inimitable style, painted a picture of Schumer’s journey to deliver this political bombshell: “Senator Chuck Schumer of New York sat in the foyer of President Biden’s Rehoboth Beach house, tired and tense. He had not slept the night before, and on the four-hour drive from Brooklyn to Delaware, he had rehearsed out loud what he planned to say, reviewing notecards as he prepared for what he thought might be the most high-stakes speech he would ever give, to an audience of one.”

One can imagine Schumer, bleary-eyed and caffeine-fueled, practicing his speech to an audience of unimpressed toll booth operators and confused gas station attendants along the way.

About a week afterward, Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Kamala Harris, who would later lose in a landslide to Trump.

In the high-stakes game of presidential politics, sometimes the house loses – especially if that house happens to be at Number One Observatory Circle in northwestern Washington, D.C.

Bill Gates And Donald Trump: The 3-Hour Meeting That Left A Billionaire ‘Impressed’ And A Nation Guessing

(DC Pundit) – In a world where billionaires and politicians often clash, Microsoft mogul Bill Gates has just revealed the details of his recent tête-à-tête with former President Donald Trump.

Gates, speaking to The Wall Street Journal, gave his account on a marathon three-hour dinner with Trump, where they apparently discussed everything from global health to Gates’ passion project: vaccines. One can only imagine the small talk at that table.

The tech titan seemed genuinely impressed by the encounter, stating, “I had a chance to go have a long and actually quite intriguing dinner with him.”

Gates continued, “We touched on a lot of things. It was over three hours. To my surprise, it was, you know, just he and I, his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and the person who helps manage things for me, Larry Cohen.” A cozy foursome, perfect for discussing world-changing innovations over dessert.

The billionaire philanthropist gushed about his foundation’s work on HIV, excitedly sharing, “I spoke a lot about HIV and that the foundation’s literally working on a cure for that. We’re at an early stage, and so, you know, he, in the COVID days, accelerated the vaccine innovation.”

Gates, ever the optimist, saw an opportunity to push for more support. “So I, you know, was asking him if maybe the same kind of thing could be done here, and we both got, I think, pretty excited about that.”

The conversation then took a global turn, with Gates explaining the challenges of eradicating polio. “We talked about polio, where, you know, we’re very close to getting that done, but if you stop, it’ll spread back. And so I explained why it’s been tough in Pakistan, Afghanistan. We’ve had cases show up in Gaza. We have cases in Africa.”

Gates seemed particularly impressed with Trump’s engagement, noting, “He was fascinated to hear what he could do to maximize the chance that during the next four years, that incredible milestone will be achieved.”

The Microsoft founder concluded, “I felt like he was, you know, energized and, you know, looking forward to helping to drive innovation. You know, I was frankly impressed with how well he showed a lot of interest in the issues I brought up.” It’s unclear whether Trump’s interest was genuine or if he was just playing to the crowd.

This unusual meeting of the two came to light just weeks after Trump’s cryptic post on Truth Social, in which he penned, “Where are you? When are you coming to the ‘Center of the Universe,’ Mar-a-Lago? Bill Gates asked to come, tonight. We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!! DJT.”

Interestingly, it wasn’t mentioned if Gates voiced any concerns about Trump’s potential HHS nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known critic of Gates and his vaccine initiatives. Perhaps that topic was deemed too spicy for dinner conversation.

While Gates didn’t make any direct statements about the upcoming election, it’s worth noting that he quietly slipped a cool $50 million to Kamala Harris’ campaign. Talk about hedging your bets.

Ted Cruz’s Latest Move Aims To Put More Money In The Pockets Of Servers And Bartenders

Ted Cruz’s Latest Move Aims To Put More Money In The Pockets Of Servers And Bartenders

(DC Pundit) – In a move that is sure to have bartenders across America raising their glasses, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has reintroduced a bill that would eliminate income tax on tip income. Yes, you read that correctly – a politician is now trying to put more money in the pockets of hardworking Americans. Who would’ve thought?

The proposed legislation, aptly named the “No Tax on Tips Act,” would allow workers to claim a 100% deduction on “cash tips,” including those received through cash, credit card charges, and checks.

Cruz isn’t going solo on this mission. He’s assembled a bipartisan team of senators, including Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.).

Now, before you start planning your early retirement based on tax-free tips, there are a few caveats. The deduction would be capped at $25,000 and workers making more than $150,000 wouldn’t qualify. Sorry, high-rolling sommeliers and celebrity bartenders – this party isn’t for you.

Cruz, in his typical dramatic fashion, declared, “American workers in many industries rely on tipped wages to make ends meet.” Adding, “I’ve long believed the GOP should be the party of bartenders, of waiters and waitresses, and this bill is an important step to ensure we are addressing the economic needs of working Americans.”

Sen. Jacky Rosen chimed in, stating that this bill is just one piece of a broader reform she hopes to see for Nevada’s service and hospitality workers. “I’ll also keep fighting to raise the minimum wage and eliminate the subminimum wage for service employees, lower costs, and cut taxes for all hardworking Nevadans,” Rosen noted.

Interestingly, Cruz first introduced this legislation last June, following a Donald Trump rally where the idea was floated. The original bill, however, didn’t have bipartisan support and was left collecting dust like an unused tip jar.

Critics of the bill worry that the reduced taxes could lead to a higher deficit. Because heaven forbid we have a policy that benefits working-class Americans without someone crying foul about the budget.

It’s worth noting that workers in tipped industries like food and beverage and beauty services make up around 40% of the U.S. workforce. That’s a lot of people who could potentially benefit from this legislation – assuming it doesn’t get lost in the labyrinth of Washington bureaucracy.

Let’s raise a glass (or a tip jar) to the possibility of a little extra cash in the pockets of hardworking Americans. Every penny counts – especially when it’s tax-free.

Michelle Obama To Skip Trump’s Inauguration – Is An Obama Divorce Looming?

Michelle Obama To Skip Trump’s Inauguration – Is An Obama Divorce Looming?

(DC Pundit) – Former First Lady Michelle Obama has decided to skip President Trump’s inauguration ceremony on January 20. This marks her second snub of the soon-to-be 47th President in as many weeks, leaving many to wonder: What’s the real story here?

Contrary to the wild speculation that’s been circulating, the reasons behind Michelle’s absence are surprisingly straightforward. No, it’s not a looming divorce from Barack (as speculated in the X post below).

A source close to the former First Lady spoke to People Magazine, saying, “There’s no overstating her feelings about him (Trump). She’s not one to plaster on a pleasant face and pretend for protocol’s sake.” Well, isn’t that refreshing?

The source continued, “Michelle doesn’t do anything because it’s expected or it’s protocol or it’s tradition.”

“She served in the public eye and did all the public good that she could for eight years as first lady,” the source added. “You’ll see her when she has a project or cause to promote but she doesn’t feel the need to be a public figure anymore.” Translation: Michelle’s done with the political circus unless she’s the ringmaster.

The Hill chimed in, backing up People Magazine’s scoop. An ally of Michelle’s stated, “She meant every word she said on the campaign trail with every fiber of her being. And she’s no hypocrite.”

A Michelle Obama aide added, “She campaigned the hardest against him personally, of anyone.”

Michelle’s husband, former President Barack Obama, will be attending the inauguration. He’ll be joined by fellow ex-presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, along with their wives. It’s like a presidential reunion, minus the one person who apparently didn’t get the memo about playing nice.

Interestingly, Barack Obama and Trump seemed to get along swimmingly at Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Who would have thought that it would take a somber occasion to make Barack Obama look like an easygoing statesman?

Michelle Obama’s absence from the inauguration is hardly earth-shattering news. It’s not like she’s plotting with Jill to refuse handing over the White House china or sabotaging the Rose Garden (we think). She’s simply exercising her right to say, “Thanks, but no thanks” to an event she’d rather skip.

Shocking Revelations: Ex-FBI ‘Spy Hunter’ Unveils Covert Plot Against Trump – You Won’t Believe What The Defense Department Had Planned

Shocking Revelations: Ex-FBI ‘Spy Hunter’ Unveils Covert Plot Against Trump – You Won’t Believe What The Defense Department Had Planned

(DC Pundit) – O’Keefe Media Group has unleashed a bombshell undercover video. Their latest exposé features none other than Jamie Mannina, a Department of Defense advisor who’s apparently been moonlighting as a would-be saboteur of the incoming Trump administration.

O’Keefe, the man who never met a hidden camera he didn’t like, was prowling the streets of Washington, DC, this past weekend, sniffing out Deep State employees. He’s promised more tapes are coming this week, which will apparently blow the lid off various agencies’ plans to throw a wrench in Trump’s administrative gears.

O’Keefe took to X (formerly known as Twitter, for those who haven’t kept up with Elon Musk’s rebranding frenzy) to announce, “I’ve reached out to the Pentagon for comment and they responded. They’re taking this very seriously…”

Mannina, who claims to work for a “top consulting firm” for the Pentagon, spilled the beans to an undercover journalist. In a twist of irony that would make O. Henry proud, Mannina boasted, “I became a spy hunter.” It seems the hunter has become the hunted in this high-stakes game of governmental chess.

He went on to reveal that he had a “huge, huge meeting with military leaders in a very secure room called the Tank.” One can only hope this “Tank” is more secure than Mannina’s loose lips. He continued, “So we have a Tank meeting with all of the top, top leaders of the United States’ Military tomorrow on my topic that I prepared.” I wonder if his prepared topic included “How to Accidentally Reveal Classified Information 101.”

Mannina, in a moment of candor, admitted he’s “a little worried.” His grand plan? To enlist the help of retired generals to stop the Trump Administration. Because nothing says “democracy in action” quite like enlisting ex-military brass to undermine an incoming presidency.

The Trump camp is likely viewing this as vindication of their long-held suspicions of a “Deep State” conspiracy.

As we await more revelations from O’Keefe’s treasure trove of tapes, one can’t help but wonder: in this era of constant surveillance and undercover exposés, is anyone truly safe from having their dirty laundry aired?

Royal Outcry: Harry And Meghan Say Meta’s Latest Move ‘Directly Undermines Free Speech’

Royal Outcry: Harry And Meghan Say Meta’s Latest Move ‘Directly Undermines Free Speech’

(DC Pundit) – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to grace the world with their unsolicited opinions on Meta’s recent policy changes. Clearly, what the world needs right now is more input from two individuals who’ve never run a social media platform in their lives.

The royal duo, fresh from their Netflix documentary and tell-all book tours, have taken a break from their usual schedule of complaining about the Royal Family to express their “deep concern” over Meta’s decision to end third-party fact-checking and loosen content moderation. One can’t help but wonder if they’re equally concerned about the accuracy of their own public statements.

In a 638-word manifesto posted on their website (because apparently, they couldn’t fit all their wisdom into a tweet), they declared that Meta’s changes “directly undermine free speech.” Yes, you read that right. In their topsy-turvy world, less content moderation somehow equates to less free speech. It’s a logic puzzle that would make even Lewis Carroll scratch his head.

“Allowing more abuse and normalizing hate speech serves to silence speech and expression, not foster it,” they wrote, seemingly unaware of the irony in advocating for more censorship in the name of free speech. One might argue that their statement is a prime example of the very “disruptive information environment” they claim to be so worried about.

The couple, who have become self-appointed experts on everything from mental health to vaccine equity, now fancy themselves as the guardians of social media integrity. They accused Meta of “disregarding any responsibility to ensure that power is not abused and instead allowing either ego or profit, likely both, to guide decisions that affect billions.” Because if there’s anyone who knows about ego not influencing decisions, it’s definitely these two.

The Sussexes also expressed alarm at plans to “abandon commitments to diversity and equity.”

In a grand finale of virtue signaling, the couple called on Meta to “reconsider and reinstate policies to protect all users” and urged “leaders across industries to uphold their commitments to integrity and public safety in online spaces.” They even went so far as to “applaud leaders who refuse to kowtow to bullying,” which is rich coming from a pair who’ve made a career out of airing their grievances against the Royal Family.

Is this really about protecting free speech, or is it just another attempt to stay relevant in a world that’s rapidly moving on? Perhaps the real question we should be asking is: Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?

7-Year Old Girl’s Mysterious Illness Stumped Doctors – Until This Detail On Grandma’s Hands Revealed Everything

7-Year Old Girl’s Mysterious Illness Stumped Doctors – Until This Detail On Grandma’s Hands Revealed Everything

(DC Pundit) – A Texas grandmother has been arrested for allegedly poisoning her 7-year-old granddaughter.

Lisa Campbell-Goins, 56, was taken into custody on New Year’s Eve, facing charges of: exploitation of a child, injury to a child, and unlawful restraint.

The story begins innocently enough, with Campbell-Goins caring for her granddaughter since infancy due to the child’s mother being unable to do so. But things took a dark turn when the grandmother began what can only be described as a medical mystery tour, taking the child to the hospital a whopping 17 times since January 2021.

In August 2023 Campbell-Goins brought her granddaughter to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth for the last time. The poor child was suffering from a trifecta of misery: vomiting, severe dehydration, and diarrhea. Doctors also discovered ulcers in her GI tract and unusual damage to her lower intestine and colon.

The girl’s symptoms would improve, then worsen, leaving the medical professionals puzzled. According to the arrest warrant affidavit, her illness “did not match a known medical diagnosis.” In other words, it was the medical equivalent of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Family members tipped off authorities in January 2024, suspecting grandma dearest was poisoning the child through her gastric tube. Investigators concluded that Campbell-Goins had indeed been using an alkaline substance as the poison, likely Mean Green Degreaser.

A member of the family noticed other red flags, including a bottle of nail polish remover in the child’s bedroom. The kicker? Campbell-Goins reportedly didn’t have painted nails. It seems grandma was more interested in removing evidence than removing nail polish.

Shockingly, police discovered that Campbell-Goins was profiting financially from her granddaughter’s illness. She allegedly defrauded Medicaid of at least $600,000 in unnecessary medical treatment and raked in thousands more from a GoFundMe campaign.

Later, police learned Campbell-Goins wasn’t even the girl’s legal guardian. They removed the child, and lo and behold, her health began improving faster than you can say “Munchausen by proxy.”

Now living with her maternal grandmother, the girl is thriving. She’s eating on her own, gaining weight, and even started school for the first time.

Campbell-Goins was booked into Tarrant County Jail with a bond set at $150,000.

Sometimes the most dangerous poison isn’t found in a bottle, but in the twisted motivations of those we trust most.

Maxine Waters Suggests That The ‘One Percent’ Are To Blame For LA Wildfires

Maxine Waters Suggests That The ‘One Percent’ Are To Blame For LA Wildfires

(DC Pundit) – In a week where California’s landscape is being ravaged by wildfires, Congresswoman Maxine Waters has managed to set ablaze a different kind of inferno – one of political controversy. The typically outspoken Democrat, who’s been oddly mum since the 2024 election, decided to break her silence in spectacular fashion on NewsNation.

Waters, appearing on Chris Cuomo’s show, initially claimed she wanted to avoid the Democrat vs. Republican fray. However, like a moth to a flame, she couldn’t resist diving headfirst into the political inferno. Cuomo, playing the role of Captain Obvious, pointed out that politics were inevitably involved, given that California’s governor and Los Angeles’ mayor are both card-carrying Democrats.

But Waters, ever the political gymnast, executed a pivot. She turned her attention to the fire victims and, in a move that would make Robin Hood proud, suggested that California’s wealthiest residents – the illustrious “one percent” – weren’t coughing up their “fair share” in taxes.

“The fact of the matter is, there are a lot of people who are in need of services,” Waters declared. “We have the homeless, we have people who can’t afford their rent anymore.”

One can almost hear the world’s tiniest violin playing in the background as Waters continued, “We have a lot of problems, but we have this 1% who have received most of the benefits from the tax cuts, etc. They need to step up.”

It’s worth noting that California already boasts the highest taxes in the country. Apparently, in Waters’ world, “highest” isn’t quite high enough.

Actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman responded with fury, accusing Waters of using the wildfires as a springboard for her political agenda.

Bateman’s response highlights the absurdity of Waters’ timing. As Californians watch their homes go up in smoke, the last thing they need is a lecture on tax policy.

Waters’ comments are particularly tone-deaf given California’s existing tax structure. The state already has a progressive tax system where the top 1% of earners pay nearly half of the state’s personal income tax revenue. Yet, despite this, California still grapples with a host of social issues, including a persistent homelessness crisis.

The irony of Waters’ statement is as thick as the smoke clouding California’s skies. Here’s a state with some of the highest taxes in the nation, yet it can’t seem to get a handle on basic services or disaster preparedness. Perhaps the issue isn’t how much money is coming in, but how it’s being spent?

In the grand tradition of never letting a good crisis go to waste, Waters has masterfully demonstrated how to turn a natural disaster into a political talking point. It’s a skill that would be admirable if it weren’t so utterly inappropriate given the circumstances.

Perhaps Waters should consider that the heat Californians need relief from isn’t just coming from the wildfires, but also from the incendiary rhetoric of their own representatives.

Outbursts Exposed: How The White House Bullied Facebook Into Submission (VIDEO)

(DC Pundit) – Social media giant Meta has been caught in a whirlwind of political pressure that would make even the sturdiest of tech titans quiver. Let’s dive into this digital drama, shall we?

Mark Zuckerberg, the man who turned poking people into a multi-billion dollar enterprise, recently came clean on Joe Rogan’s podcast about the Biden administration’s rather aggressive approach to content moderation.

Picture this: government officials, presumably in their best “I’m very important” voices, screaming and cursing at Meta’s team to censor content.

“Basically, these people from the Biden administration would call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse,” Zuckerberg revealed.

But Meta, ever the defender of truth (and memes), stood their ground. “It just got to this point where we were like, ‘No, we’re not gonna … take down things that are true. That’s ridiculous,'” Zuckerberg added.

The Biden administration’s crusade against COVID-19 misinformation reached peak intensity when the President himself accused Facebook of “killing people.” Talk about a status update gone wrong. Biden stated, “They’re killing people. Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing people.” One can only imagine Zuckerberg’s reaction: “Unfriend.”

But the real kicker came when the administration tried to censor a meme featuring Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, you read that right. The government wanted to take down a joke about potential future lawsuits related to COVID-19 vaccines. Because nothing says “we’re handling this pandemic well” like trying to censor Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at a TV screen.

Zuckerberg, in a moment of unexpected backbone, refused to bow to the pressure. “We’re not gonna take down humor and satire. We’re not gonna take down things that are, that are true,” he stated.

The Meta CEO, who’s “generally pretty pro about rolling out vaccines,” found himself in the uncomfortable position of defending content that questioned the vaccine program. “They pushed us super hard to take down things that … honestly were true,” he admitted.

Zuckerberg recently announced the end of Meta’s “politically biased” fact-checker program. Instead, they’re adopting a community notes model similar to X (formerly Twitter). “We’ve reached a point where it’s just too many mistakes [from fact checkers] and too much censorship,” Zuckerberg explained, presumably while drafting his application to join Elon Musk’s mission to Mars.

As if to drive home their newfound independence, Meta has pledged $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund and added UFC president Dana White, a known Trump ally, to its board of directors.

In conclusion, it seems that Meta has decided to unfriend the Biden administration’s aggressive content moderation tactics.

As we move forward one can’t help but wonder: Will the next presidential debate be held in the Metaverse?

Only time, and perhaps a few more podcasts, will tell.

Scandal Rocks City Hall: Popular Mayor’s Secret Double Life Of Drugs And Prostitutes Exposed

Scandal Rocks City Hall: Popular Mayor’s Secret Double Life Of Drugs And Prostitutes Exposed

(DC Pundit) – It seems that the Democratic Party’s reputation for squeaky-clean politics has taken another hit. This time, it’s not just a minor scuff – we’re talking a full-blown mud bath, complete with alleged drug trafficking and a side of solicited prostitution. Who says politics is boring?

25-year-old Tyrin Truong, the Democratic mayor of Bogalusa, Louisiana, has found himself in a pickle that’s more sour than a jar of dill spears left out in the Louisiana sun. The Washington Times reported on Tuesday that Truong was arrested as part of a seven-person roundup accused of running a drug trafficking operation.

Now, let’s be clear: Truong himself wasn’t charged with distributing drugs. No, no – he’s accused of the much more dignified crimes of soliciting prostitutes and unauthorized use of someone else’s vehicle. Because why stop at one alleged crime when you can go for a trifecta?

District Attorney Collin Sims alleged that Truong paid a prostitute with public money during a conference for mayors in Atlanta. Because nothing says “responsible public servant” like mixing business with… well, you know. Sims also claimed Truong bought drugs during this little excursion. It seems our young mayor was determined to make the most of his trip.

The other six suspects arrested in this alleged operation weren’t content with just one type of illegal substance. No sir, they allegedly went for the whole pharmacopeia: THC, opioids, marijuana, and ecstasy. And in a move that would make any entrepreneurial criminal proud, they allegedly used social media to peddle their wares. Who needs a dark alley when you have Facebook Marketplace, right?

The money from these alleged sales wasn’t just lining pockets – it was reportedly being used to buy firearms for other crimes.

Truong, showing the kind of optimism that only a 25-year-old politician can muster, posted on his official Facebook page after being released on bail: “Joy comes in the morning!” One can’t help but wonder if that joy comes with a side of legal counsel and a dash of damage control.

On his personal page, Truong went biblical, quoting Psalm 27 and denying the allegations. “If you think I ran a drug operation (and all those other accusations), you’re sadly mistaken,” he wrote. “Those who know me, KNOW me and I’ll let God and my attorney handle the rest!”

This whole debacle has been unfolding since April, according to Louisiana State Police. DA Sims, not content with just arresting a mayor and his merry band of alleged miscreants, stated, “We are going to continue to invest time and resources into helping the citizens of Bogalusa. We are not finished.”

In the grand scheme of things, this incident serves as a reminder that regardless of political affiliation, power can be a dangerous drug. It’s also a reminder that if you’re going to attend a mayor’s conference, maybe stick to the complimentary mints in your hotel room.

Here’s hoping that whatever comes next, it involves less alleged criminal activity and more boring budget meetings. Because sometimes, boring is good. Especially in politics.
