Obama-Appointed Judge Defies SCOTUS, Now Faces Impeachment

An Obama-appointed federal judge just decided the Supreme Court’s rulings are more like suggestions, and Republicans in Congress are done pretending she has the authority to make that call.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs issued an order on Friday blocking the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals. It was a brazen display of judicial activism, and it took Republicans about a weekend to respond.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) announced he will file articles of impeachment against Burroughs on Monday, accusing her of trampling both the Constitution and a Supreme Court ruling that should have ended this fight already.

In a 6-3 decision in June, the justices held that the TPS statute bars federal courts from second-guessing the Department of Homeland Security’s calls on designating, extending, or terminating the program. That ruling reversed lower courts and cleared the way for the Trump administration to end TPS protections for Syrian and Haitian nationals while any remaining constitutional claims get sorted out.

Burroughs apparently didn’t get the memo, or didn’t care.

“SCOTUS made it very clear that lower courts cannot suspend TPS. Yet, an Obama-appointed judge is defying the Court and the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the will of the President,” Ogles said in a statement to Just the News. “This judicial activist’s obstruction of the people’s will must be stopped. Judge Burroughs must be impeached.”

Ogles isn’t the only one calling this out. “Judge Allison Burroughs just entered yet another order preventing the termination of Somalia TPS,” Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival said in a post on X. “There is no serious debate about what is going on in these cases – defiance, obstruction, and delay.”

Make no mistake about it, this is a judge manufacturing a legal fiction to override a president she does not like and a Supreme Court that already ruled against her position. She is not interpreting the law. She is rewriting it in real time to get the outcome she wants.

Burroughs flouted the nation’s highest court in broad daylight. If there is no consequence for that kind of defiance, every activist judge in the country just learned they can ignore the Supreme Court whenever it is inconvenient. Frankly, the ruling should be flat-out ignored because the Supreme Court has already ruled on this issue.

Impeachment is not an overreaction here. It is the bare minimum response to a judge who thinks she outranks the Constitution.

Natalee Holloway Murderer’s Deadly Twist: Trump’s DOJ Releases Docs on FBI Decisions That May Have Cost a Life Under Eric Holder

Documents obtained by journalist and Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren reportedly show that the Obama administration had an opportunity to arrest convicted murderer Joran van der Sloot during a sting operation, only days before he committed a second murder.

The award-winning journalist intends to publish FBI documents she obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, as well as with the help of former Attorney General Pam Bondi, that show the FBI “bungled” the sting and then “kept it quiet” from the public.

Susteren also intends to release video footage of the sting itself.

She made the announcement on Facebook.

Released to her courtesy of President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice, the new documents and video reportedly show that the Obama FBI “bungled” a sting operation by failing to arrest Van der Sloot in 2010 for the murder of Natalee Holloway.

Twenty days before Van der Sloot murdered Stephany Flores Ramírez on May 30, 2010, an intermediary working for the FBI paid van der Sloot an initial $25,000 out of $250,000 ($10,000 in cash, $15,000 wired) in exchange for information about Holloway’s remains, according to NPR. The information turned out to be false.

Fauci Diaries: Anthony Fauci Ran to Obama for PR Help, Obama Called Trump a ‘Hopeless Idiot… Pathological Liar’

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief Anthony Fauci ran to former President Barack Obama as his public image deteriorated during the coronavirus pandemic, recording that Obama referred to Donald Trump as a “hopeless idiot” and “pathological liar.”

The diary entries — released by Rep. Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs ahead of Fauci’s testimony before the committee — provide a look into Fauci’s personal thinking throughout the pandemic, seemingly cherishing his own rise to fame more than anything else. Many entries show Fauci marveling over his popularity and gushing over his many media appearances. At one point, he reveled in what he described as his “explosive and really unimaginable” fame.

But when the tide began to turn, Fauci did not know how to handle it and desperately reached out to the far left for help in restoring his tattered image. He received quite a bit of bad press as the public grew weary of the coronavirus lies, blatant displays of hypocrisy, and the continued demonization of those refusing to get the vaccines (which did not prevent transmission of the virus or prevent a recipient from contracting it, contrary to initial claims from public health officials).

In April 2022, for instance, Fauci was still making grandiose statements like, “You use lockdowns to get people vaccinated so that when you open up, you won’t have a surge of infections.”

On top of that, taxpayer watchdog White Coast Waste Project brought attention to some other horrific studies reportedly under his leadership. Notably, the Trump administration stopped the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) beagle experimentation.

“Now they have begun harassing campaign where I am getting does [sic] is in dozens of calls on my cell phone using FaceTime from numbers that I do not recognize which are clearly people who now have my cell phone number for harassing me about the Beagle study,” Fauci lamented in his diary.

“It is so very clear now that this is a concerted effort to discredit me and assassinate my character. We have counted [sic] the attacks regarding the Beagle dog experiments, but still the attacks continue falsely claiming that NIAID funded the studies,” he wrote.

As PR turned sour on a range of fronts, Fauci ran to Obama for advice.

In a Nov. 4, 2021 diary entry, Fauci wrote, “Leslie Dach had contacted Barack Obama to ask him to give me a call to see what he could do to counter the slanderous lies there have been coming from the far right press, extreme right elements in society, and even several members of the Senate and the House.”

He revealed that Obama called him and “offered to help in any way that he can. He started off the conversation by saying that he was concerned about me and how I was holding up under this onslaught of slanderous lies.”

“HE SAID THAT I WAS A ‘CIVILIAN’ and that I should not have to put with this nonsense. He as a politician is used to this, but I have done nothing but serve that American public and the world for decades. He expressed concern that this would interfere with my important work on behalf of the American people,” he said, asserting that Obama offered to call “Ron Klain and or Jeff Zients to ask them to have the administration be proactive in countering these lies.”

“President Obama said that he would call up Jeff Zients and tell him to mobilize some of the people in the administration to proactively go out and defend me. I told President Obama about the crazy things that the far-right Republicans were doing including the fact that Donald Trump, Jr. had on his website the sale of sweatshirts and T-shirts to collect money for his campaign and on the T-shirts and sweatshirts it said ‘Fauci kills puppies,’” Fauci wrote.

“Obama said that Donald Trump junior is ‘A fucking moron.’ He apologized for using crude language but then went on to say that Donald Trump was a hopeless idiot who was a pathologic liar,” Fauci continued — an ironic claim, given that Fauci continued to lie to the public about the coronavirus throughout his rise to fame, even recording the mortality rate to be much lower than he was publicly stating in this very diary.

Fauci also asserted that Obama was “very upset that none of the moderate Republicans were actually speaking out on my behalf and were distancing themselves from all of this terrible slanderous behavior against me.”

Days later, Fauci wrote about a successful phone call with Eric Schultz “at the request of Barack Obama,” adding, “I am very thankful to Barack Obama for helping to set up this meeting with Eric.” He also praised articles defending him from the revelations made by White Coat Waste (WCW) during that time.

“From the moment we exposed Beaglegate, the Washington establishment — bureaucrats, politicians and the corporate media — circled the wagons to defend Fauci over his funding of deadly dog labs. Now, Fauci’s own diary reveals that former President Barack Obama personally helped him coordinate a covert damage-control campaign to discredit White Coat Waste after we ignited what the Washington Post called ‘the biggest firestorm yet for Fauci,’” Justin Goodman, Senior Vice President of WCW, said in light of these diary revelations.

The full diary, which also features Fauci marveling at his own fame, can be read here.

Diary Bombshell: Obama Personally Coached Fauci on Beaglegate, Deployed His Fixer, and Weaponized the Washington Post to Try and Crush White Coat Waste

In a massive development exposing the coordinated effort to protect Dr. Anthony Fauci and silence critics of taxpayer-funded animal experiments, newly released entries from the mad scientist’s personal diary show that former President Barack Obama not only contacted the former NIAID head about the Beaglegate scandal but actively advised him and connected him with his political fixer Eric Schultz to help discredit and shut down the taxpayer watchdog organization White Coat Waste.

This goes far beyond the account of the conversation that Fauci provided in his 2024 memoir.

The Gateway Pundit has done extensive reporting for years on White Coat Waste’s work that first brought Beaglegate into the national spotlight, reporting that the corporate media also spent years trying and failing to debunk.

In August 2021, The Gateway Pundit reported exclusively on WCW’s FOIA-obtained documents showing Fauci’s NIAID had directed a portion of a $375,800 grant to a laboratory in Tunisia where beagles were sedated, their heads locked into mesh cages filled with starved sand flies infected with Leishmania parasites so the insects could feed on the living dogs, and the animals were then isolated alone in desert cages for nine consecutive nights to serve as bait.

Additional records detailed a $424,000 University of Georgia study funded by Fauci’s division in which healthy beagles were given an experimental drug and intentionally infested with parasite-carrying flies, causing them to vocalize in pain for months before being killed, as well as domestic toxicity tests on dozens of beagle puppies that included surgical removal of vocal cords.

In one of many other beagle labs that White Coat Waste exposed, which were funded with American tax dollars under Dr. Fauci, dozens of beagles had their vocal cords cut to silence them before being used to test pharmaceuticals.

The horrifying beagle experiments were real, the funding was real, and the public and congressional pressure that followed forced changes. Some of these Fauci-approved dog tests are even still happening years after he left NIH.

OBAMA JUDGE PROTECTS PORTLAND’S BIASED POLICING: Rules Trump DOJ Acted in “Bad Faith” and with “Unclean Hands” for Demanding Records on Anti-Conservative Discrimination at ICE Protests

An Obama-appointed federal judge has handed Portland’s far-left political machine a major legal victory, denying the Trump Justice Department’s attempt to obtain police body-camera footage and internal records tied to allegations of anti-conservative viewpoint discrimination.

U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon rejected the Justice Department’s motion to compel Portland officials to turn over evidence connected to protests outside the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

Simon accused the DOJ of acting in “bad faith and with unclean hands” and claimed the department’s request appeared intended to intimidate the Portland Police Bureau.

“The Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the United States has brought this motion in bad faith and with unclean hands,” Simon wrote in his July 24 opinion. He added that the purported reasons for the nearly 30 document requests were “pretext.”

The extraordinary ruling effectively shields Portland officials from having to comply with the DOJ’s 29 demands for body-camera footage, police reports, complaints, internal communications, and other records—at least through this motion under Portland’s longstanding police-reform settlement.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Dhillon sent a scathing letter to Portland City Attorney Robert Taylor and Police Chief Bob Day following the controversial arrest of conservative journalist Nick Sortor.

Sortor was arrested outside Portland’s ICE facility in October 2025 after he said Antifa terrorists shoved him into a flower bed, damaged his camera, and threw punches at him.

He Helped Build Obama’s Legacy. The Job Cost Him His Company.

Mike Owen spent years helping build the Obama Idolatry Worship Center Obama Presidential Center. On June 25, the owner and president of Adamson Plumbing Contractors suspended operations, laid off 25 union workers, and abandoned about six other construction jobs.

Breitbart News:

“Before the center opened, Owen said the project had left his company with $3.9 million in losses tied to delays, rework, labor overruns, and changing project demands. He said he spent months negotiating with Lakeside Alliance, the project’s construction manager, before going public after failing to reach a resolution,” the article read.

Indeed, the center was reportedly also costing taxpayers more and more money as it put out a call for unpaid volunteers even though its chief executive would be paid a salary of $740,000, according to reports.

In regard to Owen’s battle over the nearly $4 million payment dispute, his company that performed the work under the name Marsh-Adamson, has filed a $1.72 million mechanic’s lien against the center’s property in an effort to be paid for the work.

“Laying off close to 30 people is something that no owner in our industry wants to do. It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you know you can finish them and the company can still make money. But we were put in a pretty bad corner,” he said.

A project promoted as an investment in Chicago’s South Side had become, in Owen’s account, the job that pushed his company to the edge.

Owen says Adamson lost about $3.9 million through delays, rework, labor overruns, and changing demands. The company performed roughly $12 million in work after starting with a bid near $6.9 million. Marsh-Adamson, the name used for its work on the center, has filed a $1.72 million mechanic’s lien against the property.

The immediate break came just before the center opened on June 19. Owen says Lakeside Alliance, the project’s construction manager, agreed to release $100,000 if Adamson supplied two journeyman plumbers for last-minute nighttime work. His crew completed the assignment, but the money didn’t arrive before the opening.

Lakeside eventually sent the $100,000, along with about $35,000 for change orders. The payments arrived more than two weeks after Adamson had suspended operations and dismissed its workers. The money reduced a debt to one supplier, but it didn’t reverse the shutdown.

Owen has moved out of his company’s building and is working from home while attorneys handle the dispute. He says Adamson may regroup in September, but its future remains uncertain.

After 35 years in the industry, he may now have to find a job.

Former Obama White House Counsel – and Goldman Sachs’s Former Top Lawyer – Kathryn Ruemmler Testifies Before Congress, Says She Was ‘Used’ by Jeffrey Epstein

The Epstein stain is very hard to get rid of.

Among the many people exposed by the DOJ document releases as being connected to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was former Barack Obama White House Counsel and former Goldman Sachs chief legal officer Kathryn Ruemmler.

We have reported here on TGP about how the evidence of her close relation ship with Epstein led to her resignation from her job at Goldman Sachs.

And yesterday (15), Ruemmler testified before the House Oversight Committee, calling the convicted sex offender a ‘masterful liar’.

She said Epstein used her to ‘legitimize’ himself, but had to acknowledge that he ‘referred paying clients to her law practice.’

The New York Post reported:

“Ruemmler, who resigned as Goldman’s top lawyer earlier this year after previously undisclosed communications with Epstein became public, told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday that she maintained years of dealings with him because of those business relationships.

‘I did not see any evidence of ongoing criminal conduct or misconduct of any kind by Epstein during the time I dealt with him’, Ruemmler told lawmakers in her opening statement, adding that she ‘would have immediately reported him to law enforcement’ had she seen evidence that he was abusing women or girls.”

Ex-Obama press secretary fired after allegedly swiping credit cards from colleagues to fund kratom habit

A former Barack Obama press secretary was fired from his chief communications role in Minneapolis after allegedly stealing cash and credit cards from city employees to fuel his habit for kratom — a natural drug used to treat opioid withdrawal.

Adam Fetcher, 42, was canned from his role as Chief Communications Officer (CCO) for the City of Minneapolis after just a year on the job amid a police investigation into internal workplace theft and fraud, as well as claims of substance abuse, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.

Fetcher, who made nearly $200,000 a year, is accused of stealing cash and credit cards out of the desks and purses of three fellow city hall employees, racking up hundreds of dollars in fraudulent charges at tobacco stores, reported the Star Tribune, citing sources familiar with the investigation.

Security surveillance footage reportedly shows Fetcher using one of the stolen cards to buy $481 of kratom — a herbal supplement often used to manage opioid withdrawal symptoms — at a south Minneapolis smoke shop, reported the outlet.

Under state law, card fraud of that amount would qualify as a felony-level offense if prosecutors decide to charge Fetcher.

They Classified It So No One Could See It: The Obama Team’s War on a Duly Elected President

Consider what it takes to lie to a free people at scale. A private liar can deceive a neighbor. A campaign can deceive a district. But to deceive an entire nation, and to do it durably, you need something rarer. You need an institution the public has been trained to trust, and you need to borrow its authority. The intelligence community is that institution. When career officers say a thing is so, citizens reasonably assume the judgment rests on secret evidence too sensitive to share. That trust is precisely what makes the apparatus so dangerous when it is turned, because a borrowed badge of credibility can launder a falsehood into a fact. This is the heart of the matter, and it is why the events of 2016 through 2020 deserve a stark description. The coordinated politicization of US intelligence by the Obama administration, the Clinton campaign, and an interlocking network of operatives was the single greatest disinformation campaign in American history.

I want to be careful with that claim, because careless conservatives have squandered credibility by overreaching, and the fact-checkers are waiting. So let me say plainly what I am not arguing. This was not treason in the strict constitutional sense, which requires levying war against the US or adhering to its enemies, proven by two witnesses to an overt act. That high bar is not met here, and pretending otherwise only hands critics an easy rebuttal. What I am arguing is more precise and, in some ways, more damning. The conduct fits the ordinary legal definition of conspiracy, a secret agreement to achieve unlawful ends through unlawful means, and it carries the unmistakable character of sedition, the deliberate poisoning of public perception against a lawful government. The aim was to subvert an election and, having failed at that, to cripple the presidency the voters chose.

Begin with the money, because money leaves a paper trail, and the trail here is not seriously contested. The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee routed roughly $1.02 million to the law firm Perkins Coie for what they would later report to regulators as legal services. Perkins Coie retained the research firm Fusion GPS, which in turn hired a former British intelligence officer named Christopher Steele, paying his firm roughly $168,000. The product of this arrangement was the now-infamous Steele dossier, a collection of unverified and largely uncorroborated allegations. The political origin of that document is not a matter of conjecture. In 2022 the Federal Election Commission fined the Clinton campaign $8,000 and the DNC $105,000 for misreporting these payments as legal expenses rather than the opposition research they were. A campaign paid for a smear, mislabeled it, and then the smear migrated into the machinery of federal law enforcement.

“Being Black” – Obama Presidential Center Visitors Can’t Name One of Barack Obama’s Accomplishments

People visiting the Obama Presidential Center can’t even name one of Barack Obama’s accomplishments.

The $850 million eyesore that resembles a trashcan officially opened last Friday (Juneteenth).

Fox News interviewed visitors to Obama’s library and they can’t even name one thing Barack Obama accomplished in eight years as president.

“Name Obama’s greatest accomplishment,” Fox News said to a couple of visitors.

“I can’t remember! It was just a lot!” one supporter said.

“I can’t think! You caught me off guard!” another said.

“I’m gonna have to say just being there,” one woman said.

“Being black,” one person said. “Staying black,” another said.
