Biden’s own doctor just pleaded the Fifth—fifteen times.

When the man with the medical file won’t talk, it’s already too late.

Good Morning, it’s Thursday, July 10th, 2025.

Biden’s personal physician refused to answer whether he was ever told to lie about the president’s health. He pleaded the Fifth fifteen times. Meanwhile, L.A.’s mayor is suing to protect illegal immigrants, Trump’s immigration crackdown is sparking meltdown-level media panic, and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins got publicly body-slammed by the man she loves to hate. It’s only Thursday, and the circus is in full swing.

BIDEN’S DOCTOR PLEADS THE FIFTH—15 TIMES

If Joe Biden’s in perfect health, why does his doctor sound like he’s hiding a crime?

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Biden’s longtime physician, appeared before the House Oversight Committee this week—and refused to answer a single straight question. In a closed-door deposition, O’Connor invoked the Fifth Amendment at least 15 times, dodging questions about Biden’s mental state, physical fitness, and whether he was ever pressured to lie. The footage, released Wednesday night, is damning.

“Did you ever believe the president was unfit to execute his duties?” asked committee investigator Jake Greenberg. O’Connor’s response? Lawyered-up silence: “I respectfully decline to answer…” It was the same non-answer on every question that mattered. The doctor didn’t even attempt to defend Biden’s health—he just lawyered up and shut down.

This isn’t just odd—it’s unprecedented. A sitting president’s doctor taking the Fifth is a red flag the size of Delaware. If there’s nothing to hide, why not answer? And if the president is in decline, who’s really running the country?

Let’s be clear: physician-patient privilege isn’t a license to cover for cognitive collapse. The American people deserve to know if the man signing executive orders and handling nuclear codes knows what day it is. If O’Connor can’t tell us that much without risking self-incrimination, the crisis isn’t just medical—it’s constitutional.

They called Trump unfit for tweeting too much. But Biden’s doctor can’t even say under oath that he’s mentally capable—and that should terrify everyone. Read more

LA MAYOR SUES TRUMP TO PROTECT ILLEGAL ALIENS—SAYS IT’S HER “JOB”

When federal agents show up to enforce the law, Karen Bass calls it “kidnapping.”

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is taking the Trump administration to court over mass deportation operations, claiming they’re “unlawful” and “unconstitutional.” She filed a lawsuit—backed by the ACLU and a pack of left-wing cities—seeking an emergency injunction to halt enforcement. Her reasoning? That her job is to protect “all Angelinos,” including those in the country illegally.

Bass posted a video after federal agents appeared at MacArthur Park, a known hotspot for illegal activity, and compared immigration enforcement to criminal impersonators. “We don’t know if a kidnapping is happening or what,” she said—referring to ICE agents operating in public parks. The Trump administration called her response hysterical and dangerous, especially after Bass reportedly confronted agents face-to-face and forced them to leave.

The lawsuit accuses the federal government of racial profiling and violating due process rights. It’s not just LA—other cities, including Santa Monica, Pasadena, and West Hollywood, have signed on. But Trump’s DOJ isn’t backing down. Attorney General Pam Bondi responded by launching a counter-lawsuit, saying, “Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles.”

Bottom line: Democrats are now using taxpayer dollars to sue the federal government for enforcing immigration law. The Left wants open borders—but only if they come with legal immunity and a taxpayer-funded defense team. Read more

EX-MSNBC HOST COMPARES ICE TO NAZIS—AND CNN LETS IT FLY

Calling law enforcement “Nazis” is now mainstream media strategy.

Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross accused the Trump administration of “kidnapping” people and sending them to “concentration camps” during a wild CNN appearance Tuesday night. Cross claimed that America is now “normalizing a government agency disappearing people”—a reference to the stepped-up deportation operations targeting criminal illegal aliens. According to Cross, that’s comparable to the Holocaust.

When New York Post editor Kelly Jane Torrance pushed back—calling the comparison deeply offensive to Holocaust survivors—Cross doubled down: “It doesn’t matter! It’s a concentration camp.” She then went on to say only “less than 10%” of detainees were violent criminals and accused the administration of “disgusting behavior.”

The White House responded immediately. Press Secretary Abigail Jackson called Cross’s comments “despicable,” warning that this kind of rhetoric puts real lives in danger. “A radical criminal just attempted to murder Border Patrol agents because of deranged comments like this,” she said. “CNN should not give a platform to dangerous rhetoric that inspires violence.”

Cross’s meltdown comes just days after President Trump opened “Alligator Alcatraz,” a massive detention facility in the Florida Everglades designed to detain and process illegal migrants more efficiently. According to DHS, the site is state-of-the-art and focused on national security—not political theater.

Bottom line: Comparing immigration enforcement to genocide is more than insane—it’s reckless. And it shows just how far gone the media has become when it comes to defending open borders. Read more

TRUMP SNUBS CNN’S KAITLAN COLLINS ON LIVE CAMERA: “NOT FOR CNN”

Trump doesn’t just sidestep legacy media—he steamrolls them.

During a televised cabinet meeting, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins attempted to get a question in, only for President Trump to shut her down with a brutal one-liner: “No. Not for CNN.” The room went dead silent as cameras captured the moment in real time. The clip has since exploded online, with Trump supporters calling it a “masterclass in media discipline” and meme-makers having a field day.

The smackdown came as tensions between the Trump administration and CNN reached new heights following the network’s coverage of immigration enforcement, the Epstein memo fallout, and their ongoing criticism of Alligator Alcatraz—Trump’s new migrant detention facility in Florida.

Trump didn’t just dismiss CNN—he reminded the press corps who’s calling the shots now. And if Collins thought she could bait him into another PR stumble, she got humiliated instead. Read more

Thanks for reading today’s breakdown. When doctors won’t talk, when cities sue to keep criminals safe, and when the media throws tantrums over basic law enforcement, you know the system is rotting. But here’s the good news—we’re not buying it anymore. You see it. I see it. Millions see it. And the more they try to cover it up, the more obvious it all becomes.

P.S.

I can’t get over Biden’s doctor pleading the Fifth like a mob consigliere. If that doesn’t make every American’s stomach turn, I don’t know what will. These people are playing games with the health of the most powerful office on Earth. Are you okay with that?
