A criminal referral for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has just been issued to the DOJ! He is being referred over alleged perjury related to his whopping $2.5 billion building renovation project. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna announced on X: I am criminally referring Jerome Powell to the DOJ to investigate perjury regarding his crazy $2.5BN building. — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) July 17, 2025 This is huge… To give you some context, the Federal Reserve renovation project has skyrocketed from the initial $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion. Jerome Powell is being suspected of fraud related to the extremely suspicious building project. If it turns out that way, then he could very well be removed from his position as Federal Reserve chair. He also could be prosecuted if he did, in fact, lie to the Senate about the luxury features he testified on in defense of the renovation project. The New York Post provided more background: Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell defended his $2.5 billion headquarters renovation project near the National Mall Thursday — insisting that “we take seriously the responsibility to be good stewards of public resources.” “We have taken great care to ensure the project is carefully overseen since it was first approved by the Board in 2017,” Powell claimed in a letter to White House director of management and budget Russ Vought, even though the project is already about $600 million over budget Powell has faced a firestorm of Republican criticism over the lavish renovation — as President Trump demands that Powell consider resigning after refusing to lower interest rates. Just one hour prior to Rep. Luna’s announcement, Federal Housing Director Bill Pulte posted: I am told by very reliable Congressional sources that there may be a criminal referral coming from one or more Congress members to the DOJ for Jay Powell’s alleged perjury about the $2.5BN building. — Pulte (@pulte) July 17, 2025   President Trump also recently hinted that Jerome Powell could lose his position over this. Watch this: President Trump slams Jerome Powell for spending $2.5 billion on a luxurious renovation of the Fed while keeping our interest rates ridiculously high and costing us billions. “If Jerome Powell stepped down, it would be a great thing.” I can’t imagine why the Fed would need a… pic.twitter.com/OvzJTOsKbw — Patriot Lady (@angelwoman501) July 14, 2025 Things are heating up… Stay tuned.

HOW MANY AMERICANS DO ISRAELI SETTLERS HAVE TO KILL BEFORE WE CARE?

It was supposed to be the launchpad for David Hogg’s new PAC and a fresh-faced takeover of the Democratic establishment. Instead, it turned into a humiliating defeat. Foxx Falls Flat, Grijalva Wins Big In Tuesday’s special primary election in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, Adelita Grijalva, daughter of the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva, steamrolled the competition with 62% of the vote. Her closest challenger, 25-year-old activist Deja Foxx, backed by Hogg’s Leaders We Deserve PAC, didn’t even come close—finishing with a meager 21%.   This district is so safely Democrat that the general election in September is essentially a formality. The real contest was the primary—and Foxx got blown out. Hogg’s $20 Million Strategy Already Failing David Hogg, ousted from his role as DNC vice chair, had pitched Foxx as part of a new plan to replace seasoned Democrats with younger, far-left social media darlings. He called Foxx an underdog “ready to fight” after overcoming adversity. It wasn’t good news for the David Hogg-backed candidate Deja Foxx as the votes came in Tuesday night in the race to be the Democrat nominee to fill Arizona’s 7th Congressional District seat. pic.twitter.com/qoJUh10eUw — MickiAnn (@MickiAnnOH) July 17, 2025 But voters weren’t sold. Foxx, best known for viral videos and abortion rights activism as a teen, lacked the experience, endorsements, and credibility to sway Democrats—even in a progressive district. Her only real “qualification” was being famous on Instagram. Even the Far Left Went with Grijalva Foxx tried to paint herself as an outsider like New York’s Zohran Mamdani, but the comparison fell apart fast. Adelita Grijalva had already locked down endorsements from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders—the same figures Foxx’s camp needed to stay competitive. Crisis actor from California, David Hogg who became a superstar after pretending to be at a school shooting and owns several AK-47’s, is now the DNC Vice Chair. This is the Democrats “best of their best”! pic.twitter.com/g7GTSCPOKi — Zade Smith (@ZadeSmith4) February 2, 2025 Even Washington Post analysts noted that the “anti-establishment” model didn’t work here, and that Foxx’s campaign lacked any real path to victory. Internet Clout Isn’t Real Power Despite boasting that polling showed her “within striking distance,” Foxx’s defeat was not even close. The result left many questioning Hogg’s political instincts and whether his PAC is already a failed experiment. In the end, this race was less about Foxx and more about Hogg’s crumbling brand. The PAC he founded to reshape the Democratic Party just suffered its first major embarrassment—and his reputation may never recover. When the smoke cleared, the only thing voters rejected harder than Foxx was David Hogg’s political judgment.  

'this is different'

On Thursday the Wall Street Journal released a story which purports to show that Donald Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a raunchy 50th birthday greeting for a book Ghislaine Maxwell put together. Trump has strongly denied the reporting and has threatened to sue the outlet.Conservatives are rallying to Trump’s defense, calling the reporting into question. Vice President JD Vance laid into the Journal, saying, “Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bulls**t. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it,” in a post on X.'This is not how Trump talks at all. I don’t believe it.' — (@) Vance further called on the Journal to provide the actual proof: “Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?”Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk also called the report into question. In a post on X, Kirk said, “This is not how Trump talks at all. I don’t believe it.” — (@) After the Journal’s report was published, Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec cast doubt on any link between Trump and Epstein’s sordid schemes. Posobiec said in a post on X, “If Trump was in the Epstein files it would have been released a decade ago and there wouldn't have been any need to make up a fake Russian hooker dossier.”In a different X post Posobiec also questioned the Journal’s reporting: “Trump doesn’t talk like this at all. And this was several years before Epstein was originally arrested.” — (@) Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly also doubted the voracity of the reporting, stating on X, “This is the dumbest attempted hit piece I’ve ever read.”While mainstream media outlets are continuing to find ways to try and tie Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, conservatives are not buying it. After the Russia collusion hoax, baseless impeachments, and more from Trump’s initial run for president, conservatives are openly calling “bulls**t” on the media’s reporting as they rally to Trump's defense.Like Blaze News?
