Lauren Boebert curses out reporter who asks about alleged affair with Thomas Massie
One of the Republican lawmakers who stood up to President Donald Trump over his longtime friendship with the late Jeffrey Epstein cursed out a Fox News journalist who accused her of an affair with another anti-Epstein Republican.“F--- you, first of all!’ Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) told a Fox News Digital reporter on Saturday when the latter brought up the allegations from a woman who claims to have been Massie's ex-girlfriend.The longtime MAGA supporter then added, “If you’re gonna bring me into this, like, the sexist stuff is like out of control. So there’s your clickbait that you were looking for.”Massie and Boebert have both been targets by Trump and his media surrogates ever since they broke with the president over releasing the Epstein files last year. Despite Trump downplaying their relationship and falsely claiming he kicked Epstein out of his home after learning about his Epstein connections, Trump in fact was close friends with Epstein for more than two decades. In September Massie came forward as the only male Republican lawmaker willing to oppose Trump on his refusal to release the un-redacted Epstein files.“It’s myself and three women, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert," Massie said at the time. "And these are women taking up for women. And I think we need more men on the Republican side of the aisle to step forward and do the right thing.”Asked about Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) attempts to thwart the release of the files, Massie said that "what Mike Johnson is doing by having his own resolution is to give political cover to those people who aren't supporting the effort by Ro Khanna and I. But here's the problem. When people go through this trove of documents, the political cover is going to go away."Massie added, "And they're going to be exposed once again... They're only going to increase the outrage. And in the meantime, you've got these survivors who are still not getting their justice. By the way, Mike Johnson has panned the legislative effort by Ro Khanna and I, saying it's poorly drafted, but he took three pages out of our bill and put them verbatim in his bill — completely cribbed them."He continued, "But he took the teeth out of it, is what he did. So he's got a meaningless resolution to provide a fig leaf to the people who are afraid to stand up for these survivors."

Trump's big promise to financially 'benefit' Americans implodes in real time: report
President Donald Trump vowed back in January that his administration’s takeover of Venezuela would “benefit” Americans, and yet, just over six months later, that promise appears to be imploding after key players have reportedly gotten cold feet, The Washington Post reported Sunday.In the immediate aftermath of the unprecedented U.S. attack on Venezuela earlier this year, the Trump administration took control of the nation’s oil revenue, which Trump claimed at the time would be “used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States.” The Trump administration had hoped U.S. companies would invest $100 billion into the South American nation’s energy infrastructure.“But businesses don’t want to spend big on capital-intensive projects to extract heavy crude, which take decades to pay off, if there’s a high chance the government will backslide,” the Post’s report reads.“ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance said recently that Venezuela has ‘a lot more work to do on their side of the equation.’ He said the overhaul of the hydrocarbon law was insufficient ‘to attract a whole lot of investment’ because it could amount to a ‘95 percent government take.’ Chevron CEO Mike Wirth has expressed similar sentiments.”The Trump administration was recently in hot water over its handling of Venezuela’s oil revenue. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week during a congressional hearing on whether the administration was concealing lucrative private contracts related to Venezuela’s oil.“The Venezuelan government’s illegitimacy raises the risk of investing capital,” the Post’s report reads. “Once real elections are held, U.S. companies will gain a clearer sense of whether it’s worth pouring in money.”
Damning new details emerge about would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks
FBI records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit reveal that a Butler County Sheriff's deputy exchanged two emails with Thomas Matthew Crooks — the gunman who shot and wounded President Donald Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13, 2024 — prior to the attack. The content of those emails remains unknown. The records are heavily redacted.Judicial Watch announced it had forced the release of 48 pages of FBI records through a federal lawsuit. An FBI interview summary from July 17, 2024 shows a deputy telling investigators she had checked her records and found two email communications from Crooks — both "in regard to [redacted]." She told investigators she did not personally interact with Crooks and did not recognize him when news of the shooting broke, only learning of the connection when a New York Times reporter emailed her Sunday night asking questions.The records also reveal that a Beaver County Emergency Services Unit medic who responded to the AGR building roof — where Crooks had positioned himself — told the FBI she observed a Washington County SWAT officer remove "a gray remote device with numerical push buttons and an antenna and a cell phone" from Crooks' right pocket after he was killed. Explosive ordnance disposal personnel subsequently arrived on the roof to examine the device. A police canine also "hit" on the building beneath the roof while the medic was present, prompting an evacuation — though Crooks' body remained on the roof.The medic pronounced Crooks dead at 6:25 p.m. She later handed a body bag to someone from either the FBI or Secret Service but could not recall which agency, the report states."Our federal lawsuit continues to force the release of new information from the assassination attempt at the Butler rally," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "The American people deserve full transparency about Thomas Crooks, his contacts, and why key details about this case remain hidden nearly two years later."
