Michelle Obama says she’s “so glad” she never had a son — because he would’ve been a kiddie clone of her husband.
“You should’ve threw a boy in the mix,” radio host Angie Martinez told Obama in an episode of the former first lady’s “IMO” podcast released Wednesday.
The remark came as Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, along with Martinez, discussed society’s view of masculinity and the challenges of raising boys and young men.
“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Obama exclaimed.
“Why didn’t you throw in a third?” Martinez said with a chuckle to the mother of two.
“Because he would’ve been a Barack Obama,” the “Becoming” author and former president’s wife quipped to laughs.
“Baby Barack — it would’ve been amazing!” Martinez replied.
Michelle Obama has been taking jabs at her husband amid divorce rumors.
Earlier this year Michelle blasted Barack for being irresponsible.
“Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially sound when you meet him?” Craig Robinson asked Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama insulted Barack Obama.
“Uh, I married one,” Michelle Obama said.

During a recent speech at Hamilton College, Barack Obama said he ‘trying to dig himself out of a hole’ after two terms at the White House “took a toll on their marriage”.
Happy Holiday! Here Is What They Won’t Tell You About Democrats and Juneteenth…
June 19, 2025
Republican Representative James Hinds was murdered by KKK Democrats in the closing weeks of the 1868 election. Hinds supported voting rights for former slaves
Happy Juneteenth!
Today is the day the United States celebrates Juneteenth, a little-known date that was recently dug up to divert attention from the real civil rights achievements by brave Republicans who fought to free the slaves.
Here is more background.
When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincolnliberated the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to punish blacks. Democrats discriminated against blacks. In fact, the KKK was founded as the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.
The Ku Klux Klan assassinated many Republicans, including Republican Representative James M. Hinds (December 5, 1833—October 22, 1868) of Little Rock. Hinds represented Arkansas in the United States Congress from June 24, 1868, through October 22, 1868, before his violent death.
The Ku Klux Klan was founded as the activist wing of the Democratic Party.
On September 28, 1868, a mob of Democratsmassacred nearly 300 African-American Republicans in Opelousas, Louisiana. The savagery began when racist Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a white Republican and schoolteacher for ex-slaves. Several African-Americans rushed to the assistance of their friend, and in response, Democrats went on a “Negro hunt,” killing every African-American (all of whom were Republicans) in the area they could find. (Via Grand Old Partisan)
Democrats in hoods slaughtered hundreds of Republicans and blacks across the country. They beat and threatened and murdered Republicans for standing with the black man.
On April 20, 1871 the Republicans passed the anti-Ku Klux Klan Act outlawing Democratic terrorist groups.
The last KKK official to serve in Washington, DC was former Senator Robert Byrd, a KKK kleagle. Byrd was a top Democrat and friend of Joe Biden.
In fact, throughout the Civil Rights era of the 19th and 20th centuries, Democrats fought against freedom and rights for the black man.
The only blip of positive news during the 19th Century for Democrats was the long-forgotten Juneteenth celebration. After the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, was murdered by a Democrat, his successor, Andrew Johnson, sent US troops to Galveston to free the slaves there in Texas.
This is the only bright spot for Democrats today in the entire history of civil rights in the 19th and most of the 20th centuries.
Hence, they bamboozled Americans and made it a national holiday. They had to.
Here is a brief history of the end of slavery and emancipation in the United States.

Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency Run by Biden Holdover Appears to Be Targeting a Decorated Space Force Officer Who Was Separated Over the Illegal COVID-19 Mandate
June 19, 2025

A former military officer who lost his career as a result of the COVID-19 shot mandate may now lose his second career over his objection to the so-called vaccine.
Joshua Zermeno, a former Space Force officer, served in the U.S. military for 13 years. In August 2021, when the Department of Defense (DoD) issued the COVID-19 shot mandate for all service members, he told The Gateway Pundit, he questioned its efficacy and legality—and chose not to comply.
Within months, he received two Letters of Reprimand (LORs), a “Do Not Promote” recommendation that blocked his promotion to Major, and was banned from government buildings, forced to telework.
In October 2021, Zermeno said, the Department of the Air Force introduced a voluntary separation option for those who refused the shot. He applied with his squadron commander’s approval, but base leadership and the Director of the Secretary of the Air Force Personnel Council denied it, citing it was “not in the best interest of the Air Force and Space Force.”
Seven days later, base leadership initiated Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action against him, a process that lasted 11 months. In January 2023, former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin rescinded the mandate and ordered the removal of all punishments and correction of records. However, Zermeno’s chain of command did not comply, passing him over for promotion a second time due to his refusal of the shot. Seven months later, he was involuntarily separated, a decision disguised as a “failure to promote” despite documentation showing his refusal as the sole reason.
When President Donald Trump announced the reinstatement of service members separated for refusing the COVID-19 shot, Zermeno admitted he immediately drove to Vandenberg Space Force Base to inquire about reinstatement. But according to him, “Not a single office could provide guidance, leading me to contact the Air Force’s Total Force Service Center, which handles Space Force matters.”
“They also reported having ‘zero guidance’ from the Department of Defense but opened a ‘ticket’ to follow up, [and] for two months, weekly calls yielded the same response,” he shared.
“In April 2025,” Zermeno said, “the Air Force released reinstatement guidance that contradicted Trump’s executive order, requiring a four-year commitment, reducing back pay by civilian earnings, mandating MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) clearance—which is now being used as a tool to deny reinstatements, and offering no protection from those who punished us initially.”
Despite the hurdles he’s faced, the former Space Force officer would continue to contemplate reinstatement, but “it is important for Defense Secretary Hegseth to understand very few will return until the reinstatement process is overhauled and those who issued unlawful orders are held accountable.”
While trying to pick up the pieces after the loss of his military career and moving past the harm it caused his family to entertain the idea of reinstatement, Zermeno wrote a book. Disobeying An Unlawful Order: A Space Force Officer’s Fight for Freedom details his experience with the DoD’s COVID-19 mandate.
What follows points to nothing less than retaliation against him. On June 2, 2025, the book was published. Ten days later, “on June 12, 2025, the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) contacted my employer to initiate a supplemental information request regarding my Top Secret clearance eligibility,” he shared on X.
On June 2, 2025, I published a memoir detailing my experience with the DoD’s COVID mandate. On June 12, 2025, the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) contacted my employer to initiate a supplemental information request regarding my Top Secret clearance… https://t.co/mymLedcWKopic.twitter.com/XRri6NJ1Oh
At the helm of DCSA is David Cattler, a Biden holdover who took the position of director for the security agency on March 24, 2024. Could Cattler’s agency be retaliating against Zermeno?
“It’s hard to believe the timing of this request is a coincidence,” said the former Space Force officer. “I am now standing by to find out what the ‘developed information’ is that they are talking about in the memorandum they provided to my employer, and whether or not they plan to pull my Top Secret clearance, which could possibly result in the loss of my civilian job” — with the DoD.
As he awaits more information, Zermeno fears his opposition to the “unlawful as implemented” shot mandate could now jeopardize two (emphasis added) careers.
While he is thankful for the efforts of the President and Defense Secretary Hegseth to restore the military, he pointed out, “The current reinstatement process for service members impacted by DoD vaccine-related punishments is flawed, failing to align with President Trump’s January 27 executive order.” As many others have pointed out to the author of this article, “It is obstructed by individuals resistant to reinstating affected personnel.”
“I propose pausing this process across all branches and establishing a dedicated task force to oversee reinstatement, restitution, and accountability for all DoD vaccine-related punishments, including ongoing purges of qualified service members due to various vaccine mandates,” Zermeno offered. “The task force must exclude those who enforced unlawfully implemented vaccine mandates to ensure impartiality.”
He argued, “It should be led by a retired four-star general, vetted for opposing vaccine mandates, alongside a former military JAG lawyer and a civilian medical researcher, both verified to have resisted vaccine enforcement.” In his opinion, “These leaders would fairly process claims and investigate unlawful orders.”
“The task force would include impacted service members and patriots, dedicated to restoring the military’s strength, as well as vetted civilian financial analysts and constitutional law advocates,” Zermeno suggested. “This team would manage reinstatement, provide restitution (e.g., back pay, medical costs), hold accountable those who issued unlawful orders, and reform policies to protect current service members from vaccine-related punishments.”
“Operating under the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness,” Zermeno said, “this task force would deliver justice, rebuild trust, and enhance military readiness without bureaucratic bias. By addressing all DoD vaccine-related punishments, it would strengthen our forces, prevent future injustices, and ensure a military guided by fairness and honor.”
AT LONG LAST: France To Change Legislation to Finally Try To Stop UK’s Migrant Invasion by Small Boats Crossing the Channel
June 19, 2025
British taxpayers are paying the French Government for a vital job that they are NOT doing.
From the 12th-century ‘Hundred-Years War’ up until the Napoleonic Wars of the 19th century, Britain and France are good at fighting each other, but perhaps not as good at collaborating.
They are now trying to collaborate in the tackling of the mass invasion of the British Isles by illegals crossing the French Channel in small inflatable boats.
Trying, and failing.
The number of migrant crossing spiked, despite the French receiving almost half a billion Sterling Pounds to keep the boats from departing, causing uproar in Britain.
Now, France promise a plan to finally start intercepting migrant ‘taxi boats’.
This is the French police watching this morning as scores of illegal migrants cram on to a boat and head across the Channel for the UK.
Proof positive of the great return we’re getting for the tens of millions we’ve given to France to help stop the small boats. pic.twitter.com/ETpp81uZF1

GB News Homeland Security Editor Mark White reveals the small boat crisis is accelerating, with French camps turning violent and UK-bound boats flooding the Channel. pic.twitter.com/HPNvKRuYQf
So, yesterday (18), reports arose that France hopes to stop more small boats from reaching Britain by changing its rules of engagement to intercept vessels.
“France and Britain hope to unveil the measures at next month’s U.K.-France Summit, according to a French interior ministry document seen by Reuters.
The number of migrants arriving in the UK via the Channel had risen by 42% this year compared with 2024 due to favorable weather conditions, and new techniques to pack boats more tightly, France’s interior ministry said.”
‘It’s a disaster waiting to happen.’
GB News’ Mark White reports from Dunkirk as French police fire tear gas but fail to stop migrants reaching the boats.

The proposed change in rules ‘would allow authorities to intercept small boats up to 300 meters from shore’.
“British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office said in a statement after meeting French President Emmanuel Macron in Canada this week that migration should be a key focus at the July summit given the deteriorating situation in the Channel.”

REVEALED: Governor Newsom Attended Luxury Wine Tasting in Napa Valley While Anti-ICE Rioters Burned Cars, Assaulted Law Enforcement
June 19, 2025
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) attended a luxury wine tasting in Napa Valley amid the violent Los Angeles riots.

According to the City Journal, Newsom attended the “Vineyard Vibes” event at the Odette Estate Winery which he co-founded on June 7.
EXCLUSIVE: California Governor @GavinNewsom attended a luxury wine tasting in Napa while rioters had already begun barricading streets, lighting cars on fire, and attacking law enforcement in Los Angeles.
As riots engulfed Los Angeles and mobs vandalized public buildings, incinerated vehicles, and assaulted law enforcement officers, California governor Gavin Newsom was enjoying a swanky wine-tasting party in Napa Valley.
The wine-tasting was held on the afternoon of June 7, 2025, at the Odette Estate Winery, which Newsom co-founded in 2011. Dubbed “Vineyard Vibes,” the event was a fundraiser for the PlumpJack Foundation, founded by Newsom’s sister, and featured “contemporary yet sophisticated” wines, live jazz music, and locally made pizza and smash burgers. “It’s the perfect kick-off to summer fun,” read promotional language. “The fete will take place on the Winery Crushpad, where we’ll gather for music, food, conversation, and delicious wine!”
A source who photographed Newsom at the event expressed shock that the governor was in attendance, given that riots had broken out in Los Angeles the day before. “I couldn’t believe it,” the source said. “He was just walking around like this was an everyday occurrence.” Newsom was at the wine party for at least 90 minutes, according to the source, who said that when the governor finally left, he appeared to retreat to the inner rooms of his winery.
Typical Gavin Newsom.
Recall that a maskless Newsom was caught partying with celebrities while keeping California’s mask mandate in place.
TV cameras captured a maskless California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom hugging Magic Johnson last night in violation of his own mask mandate.
The video contradicts Newsom’s assertion today that he only removed his mask “for a brief second” when he “took a photo.” pic.twitter.com/kTOjBOlT0F
Or like that one time Gavin Newsom attended a dinner party during the Covid pandemic in Napa Valley at the French Laundry while he told Californians to stay home and mask up.
EXCLUSIVE: We’ve obtained photos of Governor Gavin Newsom at the Napa dinner party he’s in hot water over. The photos call into question just how outdoors the dinner was. A witness who took photos tells us his group was so loud, the sliding doors had to be closed. 10pm on @FOXLApic.twitter.com/gtOVEwa864
