President Donald Trump andSen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) will team up in Pittsburgh on Tuesday to announce a $70 billion investment in AI and energy for the state. The push will involve thousands of new jobs for Pennsylvanians.

The annoucement planned for Tuesday will come during the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh, and will “bring together the world’s top leaders in energy and AI, alongside the biggest global investors, labor and trades leaders, and government officials, to showcase Pennsylvania’s incredible potential to power the AI revolution,” a press release from McCormick’s office stated.

McCormick will be joined by Trump, leaders in energy, and others at Carnegie Mellon University for the announcement. The $70 billion is the “largest investment commitment in these industries in terms of dollars for the state and jobs created in the history of the Commonwealth,” McCormick said, per Axios.

“Anticipated investments include new data centers, new power generation and grid infrastructure to meet surging data center demand, along with AI training programs and apprenticeships for businesses,” a preview of McCormick’s speech adds.

COO of Blackstone, an alternate asset manager, is expected to announce a $25 billion investment into the infrastructure needed for AI, including energy and data centers. It will be expected to spur 6,000 annual jobs in construction and 3,000 permanent jobs.

WAPO: TRUMP WANTS TO BOMB MOSCOW AND ST PETERSBURG

The Mockingbird Media press is releasing comments allegedly from President Trump during his recent conversations with Ukrainian President Zelenskiy.

During one of the conversations with Zelensky, Trump wondered why Ukraine had not yet struck Moscow. Zelensky replied: “We can if you give us weapons,” reported WaPo.

In response, Trump said that Ukraine should put more pressure on Putin – not only in Moscow, but also in St. Petersburg.

The WaPo also reports Trump considered transferring Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, wrote Clash Report. The Tomahawk is an infamous long-range U.S. cruise missile that carried nuclear weapons in the past.

Although these missiles are not currently included in the military aid package, their supply may be activated later — as a tool to increase pressure if Trump wants to.

DOJ under Trump urges SCOTUS not to take up Ghislaine Maxwell’s case in filing: report

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday urged the U.S. Supreme Court not to take up Ghislaine Maxwell’s case in a Department of Justice filing. 

Maxwell’s lawyers stated that she should not have been put on trial due to the plea deal that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein got in 2008 from prosecutors in Florida.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s DOJ responded to Maxwell’s lawyers’ filing Monday and urged the Supreme Court not to take up her case, according to an exclusive report from the Daily Mail.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking and an array of other charges in connection with her procurement of minors for Epstein’s indulgence.

She said she was willing to testify before Congress about the Epstein files, sources told The Daily Mail. 

The Trump administration has received significant backlash from conservative influencers and journalists over his handling of the Epstein files.

Alarming Report: Current Secret Service Director Sean Curran Signed Off on Unacceptable Security Plan the Day Before Butler Rally Where Trump Was Nearly Killed

The current Secret Service Director allegedly failed to take proper steps to safeguard President Donald Trump’s life before the fateful Butler, Pennsylvania rally, according to an alarming new report.

As TGP readers know, an assassination attempt was made on Trump’s life exactly one year ago today. A bullet fired by Democrat Donor Thomas Crooks grazed the president’s ear during the rally.

Corey Comperatore was fatally struck in the head. Two other rally attendees were wounded, one critically.

Crooks fired the shot on top of a nearby building, where Secret Service counter-snipers had a clear view of the shooter from their position at a higher elevation than the shooter behind Trump, yet they did not act. Crooks accessed the building with a ladder he bought at Home Depot the same day as the shooting.

Sean Curran, who was serving as the head of Trump’s security detail, helped shield the President from the bullets and appeared in the iconic photo of Trump after the assassination attempt. Curran was hailed as a hero</> following the incident.

He also supposedly cleaned house immediately upon taking over the agency, winning over more Americans.

Now, a startling revelation from Real Clear Politics National Correspondent Susan Crabtree alleges that Curran and two others gave the green light to the unacceptable security plan that gave Crooks an open shot at Trump.

How did Team Trump miss this?

Trump vows ‘billions of dollars’ in weapons for Ukraine, ‘secondary tariffs’ on Russia if no peace in 50 days

President Trump announced Monday the US will send “billions of dollars” worth of weapons to Ukraine via Washington’s NATO allies — and threatened to impose “secondary tariffs” on Moscow’s business partners in 50 days if no peace is agreed to end the 40-month-old war.

The weapons will include “everything,” Trump said during his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office — though the president did not immediately reveal specifics.

The White House also did not provide additional information on the specific weapons sent over to Europe. 

When asked whether “Patriot missiles” — officially known as Guided Mulitple Launch Rocket Systems — or “Patriot batteries” would be sent to Ukraine, the president responded: “It is all of them. It is a full complement.”

“We will have some within days,” Trump continued. “A couple of countries that have Patriots will swap over, or replace the Patriots with the ones they have.”

“NATO may choose to have certain of them sent to other countries where we can get a little additional speed, where the country will release something, and it’ll be mostly in the form of a replacement,” he added.

Later Monday, ahead of a White House faith luncheon, the 79-year-old Trump reiterated that there will be “weapons of all kinds” sent across the Atlantic, with other members of the alliance paying for them by raising their defense spending to 5% of GDP over the next decade.

“Just Release the Files as Promised” – Elon Musk Calls on President Trump to Release Epstein Files

In November 2024, after President Trump won the presidential reelection, former Trump administration official Kash Patel announced that under President Donald Trump’s second administration, Americans should brace for unprecedented government transparency. Kash Patel, who is currently the FBI Director, announced that massive declassification will occur under President Trump’s second term from the “Epstein Files” to the “Diddy list” and more.

Well that didn’t happen.

Last week the DOJ and FBI announced that Epstein killed himself and there was no Epstein client list.

Then following the uproar to these shocking assertions, President Trump posted a long screed over the weekend telling MAGA supporters and “selfish people” to forget about Epstein and move on.

This did not help the situation.

Elon Musk weighed in and told the president to “just release the files as promised.”

The Hypocrisy Of Most Anti-Trump Crusaders Shouldn’t Be Lost On Us — But There Is A Path Forward

It’s no secret that Donald Trump is a wretched human being both inside and outside of the political arena. He is a narcissistic man-child who bullies anyone in his way, with a history of con artistry, an adjudicated rapist with various accusations of sexual assault, and a several decades long connection to an international sex trafficking, pedophile ring, and blackmail operation via the Jeffery Epstein Network which his administration only recently covered up.

Lifelong constitutional scholars such as the impeccable attorney John W Whitehead, the founder of The Rutherford Institute, confirm that Donald Trump is violating the constitution and the scope of presidential power and ethics at every possible turn. Weaponizing federal law enforcement like a despotic strong man with zero concern for civil liberties, further empowering the American police state and expanding the prison industrial complex. All the while bolstering illegal mass surveillance while marching the nation down the road to technocracy.

Still, the fact is and always has been that Trump is merely the naked face of an empire that otherwise keeps itself hidden under a mask. Most so-called leftists would have you believe that Trump’s particular brand of authoritarianism is some exception to the norm, an atypical monstrosity that deviates from the status quo. In reality Trumpianism is just the manifestation of the status quo brought to the forefront for all to see. 

It is the exacerbation of what always has been. Trump is crude and brash with his despotism whereas previous figures like Barack Obama, George W Bush, Bill Clinton and so on were always relatively prudent and well spoken with theirs. The kind of despotism of decades past came with an eloquence that brought with it a kind of acquiescence.

The Epstein Client List — Why is Trump Breaking His Promise to Publish?

Although Donald Trump and Pam Bondi insist that there is no Epstein Client List… there is a list and it is reproduced above with the permission of its author, Ryan Dawson. Ryan compiled the list the old-fashioned way… he combed through court transcripts and charging documents. He only put names on the list if the victims of Epstein’s pedophilia enterprise identified or named a particular individual. As you peruse the list you will notice that there are some very wealthy, powerful individuals named. Not one of them has brought a libel or slander legal action against Ryan. If he was posting false material, he would have been a certain target of lawsuits.

So why has Donald Trump broken his promise to publish the list? I think there are two reasons — neither mutually exclusive. First, Donald Trump probably paid no attention to Ryan’s work and was never familiar with the list. Once he signed the executive order to publish the Epstein file, he was then briefed on the actual names and realized that many of them are major donors to his campaign, e.g., Jamie Dimon, Robert Kraft. While there are several names on that list who are confirmed anti-Trumpers, there are others who are friends.

Second, and in my opinion a more important consideration, is that the full Epstein file would expose a foreign intelligence blackmail operation that implicates the Mossad and the CIA. Alexander Acosta, the former Secretary of Labor for Donald Trump, said he was told that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to intelligence. During the controversy surrounding his handling of Epstein’s 2008 plea deal as a US attorney, Acosta reportedly told Trump administration officials that he had been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” and that this was a reason for the unusually lenient plea agreement. It would not surprise me that Bibi Netanyahu asked Trump to pull the plug on releasing the material. Did Trump get something in return from Bibi, such as agreeing to a ceasefire? We will find out in the coming days.

While Trump may think he can smooth this over with his MAGA base, I think that he has done serious damage to his Presidency by embracing the lie that, “there is no list.”

Noem Says Trump Wants FEMA ‘Remade,’ Not Eliminated Entirely

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that the Trump administration is trying to remake the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rather than dismantle it.

“I think [President Donald Trump] recognizes that FEMA should not exist the way that it always has been. It needs to be redeployed in a new way, and that’s what we did during this response,” Noem told NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” responding to questions about the federal response to deadly flooding in central Texas.

“It’s not just FEMA that can respond in these situations. The federal government has all kinds of assets, and we deployed them,” Noem said, pointing to the Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helping with disaster response. Both groups routinely respond to disasters.

Earlier on in his administration, Trump suggested in an interview that he would consider eliminating or significantly overhauling FEMA, which is the main agency that responds to weather-related disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes. In January, he ordered the creation of a review council for FEMA, citing concerns of political bias in the wake of how it handled Hurricane Helene’s aftermath last year.

Last month, Trump told reporters that the administration wants to “wean off FEMA” and signaled that he wants states to respond to their own natural disasters. He made similar comments in January in explaining why he wants FEMA dismantled.

“A governor should be able to handle it, and frankly, if they can’t handle it, the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor,” Trump said at the time.

Over 400 Protests Against Trump Admin Scheduled to Take Place Nationwide on July 17

Over 400 protests are scheduled to take place in all 50 states against President Donald Trump and his administration on July 17.

The rallies, being called “Good Trouble Lives On,” will take place on the anniversary of the death of Democrat activist and congressman John Lewis. It is a nod to his famous call to action, “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble,” which he used to encourage people to participate in protests.

As with many other recent nationwide days of protest, including the now-infamous “No Kings” day, it is being organized by the 50501 Movement.

The 50501 Movement’s name stands for “50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement.” It is self-described as being led by people who “have been on the front lines of justice, marching in support of Black Lives Matter, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and disability rights.”

According to the group’s website, “Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration. Together, we’ll remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.”

Dozens of liberal organizations are also partnering with and endorsing the protests, including Black Voters Matter, the League of Women Voters, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Women’s March, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Greenpeace.
