Barack Obama Complains About ‘Politicization’ of DOJ — Then Encourages Stephen Colbert to Run For President!

Former President Barack Obama is complaining about the “politicization” of the Department of Justice, a topic about which he himself is very well versed.

During his pre-recorded appearance on the soon-to-be-canceled Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Obama went after Trump for allegedly targeting his enemies via the DOJ.

“We can’t overcome the politicization of our justice system, the awesome power of the state,” Obama complained.

“The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants prosecuted.

”The AG is the people’s lawyer, it’s not the president’s consigliere.”

“You can’t have a situation in which whoever is in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies or reward their friends.”

This is particularly ironic given the Obama and Biden DOJ’s extensive record of targeting conservatives and their political opponents, most notably in the wake of the January 6th protests.

Barack Obama Hawks His Hideous Presidential Center on “Star Wars Day” Alongside Mark Hamill in Absolutely Cringeworthy Video and The Replies are Brutal

Former President Barack Obama is getting dragged online after using “Star Wars Day” to showcase his ghastly presidential center with woke actor Mark Hamill aka “Luke Skywalker” joining him.

As TGP readers may know, fans of the space saga use May 4 every year to celebrate the creation of the franchise and their favorite characters.

“Star Wars Day” has also become a popular cultural event with sports teams, politicians, and the International Space Station participating.

Obama, though, used the moment to provide an update on the center. But he forced viewers to endure an incredibly cringeworthy and lie-filled exchange with Hamill first.

In the video, Obama is seen bragging about himself while pretending he’s speaking about ordinary people. Then, he has the audacity to claim that his presidential center is absolutely not for his legacy, “but a gateway to yours.”

“The Obama Presidential Center is much more than a museum,” he adds. “It is an entire campus built to empower you.”

Hamill acts like an idiot throughout and provides even more cringeworthy dialogue.

OBAMA: Happy Star Wars Day from the Obama Presidential Center.

HAMILL: I have a very good feeling about this.

OBAMA: Mark, I am glad you are here, I want to tell you about someone…A young person born into ordinary circumstances, but restless…A kid with big dreams, a bit of a rebel.

HAMILL: I like where this is going.

OBAMA: They join a scrappy group of underdogs and set out to change things.

HAMILL: By blowing up a giant space laser?!

OBAMA: Mark, this isn’t about you…This is about them (pointing to the camera)

This isn’t a monument to my legacy, this is a gateway to yours.

The Obama Presidential Center is much more than a museum. It is an entire campus built to empower you.

A place to come together, get inspired, and become a force…For change. See what I did there.

HAMILL: Strong, the dad jokes are.

OBAMA: That’s perfect!

The video reveals toward the end that tickets to visit the presidential center go on sale on May 6. It is scheduled to open on June 19.

X users completely roasted Obama and Hamill in the comments. Many also noted how similar the building is to The Death Star.

Rapper M.I.A. Kicked Off Kid Cudi Tour for Telling Audience: ‘I Never Thought I Would be Canceled for Being a Brown Republican Voter’

Kid Cudi has kicked rapper M.I.A. from his Rebel Ragers Tour after the British-Sri Lankan artist was heavily booed during a performance in Dallas over the weekend for going on a political rant that included admitting she had “been canceled for being a brown Republican voter.”

The incident occurred at the Dos Equis Pavilion, where M.I.A., whose real name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, was opening for Kid Cudi.

According to videos from the show, M.I.A. told the crowd, “I’ve been canceled for many reasons. I never thought I would be canceled for being a brown Republican voter.”

She then teased her song “Illegal,” saying, “Can’t do ‘Illegal’ ’cause some of you could be in the audience.”

When the crowd began booing, M.I.A. added, “All right, I’m illegal. Half of my team are not here because they didn’t get the visa, OK? I want you to know that. All right? So don’t listen to what the bots say on the internet, OK?”

Two days later, on Monday, Kid Cudi announced on Instagram that M.I.A. was off the tour.

In his statement to his 3.3 million followers, Cudi wrote:

TOUR UPDATE

M.I.A. is no longer on this tour. I told my management to send a notice to her team before we started tour that I didn’t want anything offensive at my shows, cuz I already knew what time it was, and I was assured things were understood. After the last couple shows, I’ve been flooded with messages from fans that were upset by her rants. This, to me, is very disappointing and I wont have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upset my fanbase. Thank you for understanding.”

M.I.A. has long been known for her outspoken political views, including fierce defenses of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Steven Tyler is headed to trial, following child sexual assault claims

A Los Angeles court has determined a child sexual assault case filed against Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler, will proceed to trial.

The singer is accused of grooming, sexually assaulting and impregnating a 16-year-old Julia Misley in the 1970s. The suit, first filed in 2022 in Torrance, claims he “used his role, status, and power as a well-known musician and rock star” to exploit Misley. The complaint also argues Tyler admitted to the alleged crimes in his own memoir, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?” where he refers to her as his “teen bride.”

Earlier this week, a judge dismissed most of the case, citing the statute of limitations in Massachusetts, where the pair lived during their three-year relationship. But they allegedly crossed state lines while Tyler toured the country with his band, including to California. Because of California’s Child Victims Act – a 2020 statute that allowed a “lookback window” where alleged victims can file lawsuits regardless of a statute of limitations – a portion of the case will still be tried.

“This is a massive win for Steven Tyler. Today, the Court has dismissed with prejudice 99.9% of the claims against Mr. Tyler in this case,” Tyler’s lawyer David Long-Daniels said in a statement to Billboard. “The court has decided that only one night, fifty-plus years ago, out of a three-year relationship is allowed to remain.”

New York has a similar statute that was recently employed by singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, in her case against Sean Combs. She filed a sex-trafficking and sexual assault lawsuit against the music mogul in 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, just days before the expiration of a “lookback window.”

Fugees Rapper Pras Reports to Prison to Begin 14-Year Sentence for Illegal Foreign Obama Donations

Grammy-winning rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel of the Fugees has reported to federal prison to begin a 14-year sentence following a conviction over illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.

Michel reported to prison Thursday, a spokesperson said, with federal records listing him as an inmate at a low-security correctional institution in Arizona.

“Today is a painful day for Pras, for his family, and for everyone who believes in a fair system of justice. Pras honors the legal process as he reports to begin his sentence,” said Erica Dumas, a spokesperson for Michel, adding that his legal team is still contesting his charges.

“This chapter is difficult, but it is not his final one,” Dumas said.

Michel, 53, was convicted in 2023 on 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. He was sentenced late last year.

Prosecutors said he obtained over $120 million from Malaysian billionaire Low Taek Jho — also known as Jho Low — and steered some of that money through straw donors to Obama’s campaign. Michel also tried to end a U.S. Justice Department investigation of Low, tampered with two witnesses and perjured himself at trial, prosecutors said. Low has maintained his innocence.

Michel was a founding member of the Fugees along with childhood friends Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, with the group going on to win two Grammy Awards and selling tens of millions of albums.

NOW THAT’S FUNNY: Democrat Party Mouthpiece Stephen Colbert Tells the NY Times He’s ‘Nonpartisan’

Stephen Colbert, host of the soon to be discontinued Late Show, was recently interviewed by the New York Times and had the audacity to claim that he’s nonpartisan. It’s the funniest thing he has said in years.

Colbert has completely ruined the legacy of the Late Show by turning it into his own personal political soapbox that basically functions as a super PAC for the Democrat party. Almost all of his guests are Democrat politicians and he spends every night telling the country how much he hates President Trump.

It’s why the show is losing millions of dollars a year and why it is being taken off the air forever next month.

FOX News reports:

Colbert calls Trump ‘authoritarian’ but rejects ‘partisan’ label in exit interview with NY Times

As talk show host Stephen Colbert prepares to depart from his show, he condemned President Donald Trump during a Tuesday interview with The New York Times.

CBS announced in July that it had canceled “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and that it would officially go off the air in May 2026. Liberal critics have accused CBS and Paramount of ending the show to appease Trump and receive approval for a long-planned merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media.

Colbert spoke out about the saga in a New York Times interview headlined, “Stephen Colbert Gets Ready to Hang It Up.” When asked by the Times why the FCC and Trump administration are “focused” on him, Colbert argued this is simply authoritarians being authoritarians.

“Authoritarians don’t like anybody who doesn’t give them undue dignity. Comedians are anti-authoritarian by nature. And authoritarians are never going to like anybody to laugh at them,” he said. “The number of newspeople who have said to me or Jon Stewart or any of the guys who do this, ‘God, I wish I could say what you say on air.’ And we can.”

“I think that upsets them,” he added further. “I think it might be upsetting that we really do not live in their world of principalities and powers.”

It’s possible that Colbert is just trolling the public with these claims, as he is so obviously partisan, to a fault.

Few people will be sad to see him leave the airwaves. He is a smug, preachy, unfunny, bore. He took a show that used to be for the enjoyment of the whole country and turned it into something that mocked and belittled the half of the country that doesn’t vote the way he wants them to.

Maybe he can get a new ‘nonpartisan’ show on MSNOW. That’s where he really belongs, anyway.

Jimmy Kimmel Invents an Outrageous Lie While Defending His Cruel Assassination ‘Joke’ About the President and First Lady

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel came up with one of the most pathetic lies imaginable while deciding to defend his wicked joke about President Trump.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, Kimmel previously made an assassination joke about First Lady Melania Trump and her husband President Donald Trump, saying she looked like an “expectant widow.”

This happened just two days before another deranged terrorist tried to take out the president.

“And of course, our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at Mel, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” Kimmel said during a mock White House Correspondent’s dinner last week.

“You know, Melania’s birthday is on Sunday,” he added. “That’s right. She’s uh, planning to celebrate at home the same way she always does, looking out a window and whispering, “What have I done?”

“As you’re all aware, Melania is a movie star now. Her documentary had a score of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a website named after her husband’s testicles.”

This ‘joke’ generated such widespread outrage that both the President and First Lady issued scathing statements condemning Kimmel. President Trump also called on ABC to fire the alleged ‘comedian.’

On Monday night, Kimmel not only defended his sick words, but astoundingly claimed that he was just talking about Donald and Melania’s age difference.

Is that the best lie he could come up with?

“It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am,” Kimmel fibbed. “It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. And they know that.”

“I’ve been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence, in particular,” he continued. “But I understand that the First Lady had a stressful experience over the weekend and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house?”

FCC Launches UNPRECEDENTED REVIEW OF ABC Stations After Kimmel’s “Expectant Widow” Jab

The federal government is cracking down on ABC’s broadcast licenses in direct response to Jimmy Kimmel’s latest vile comments, this time on First Lady Melania Trump. 

The FCC, under Trump appointee Brendan Carr, is directing eight Disney-owned TV stations to file early license renewals tied explicitly to Kimmel’s “expectant widow” monologue that he may have gotten away with had an assassination attempt against Trump not occurred on the same day.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung was forthright In a post on X, declaring “Jimmy Kimmel is a shit human being for: Making a disgusting joke about assassinating the President. Doubling down on that joke instead of doing the decent thing by apologizing. ABC needs to fire him immediately and he should be shunned for the rest of his life.”

The controversy erupted after Kimmel, during a skit on his show last Thursday portraying himself as master of ceremonies for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, told Melania Trump: “Mrs Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”
