When Obama’s hideous new presidential center opens in June, he is going to do a televised interview. After all, we haven’t really seen enough of Obama on TV over the years, have we?

To facilitate this riveting discussion, Obama has chosen Stephen Colbert, host of the Democrat power hour formerly known as the Late Show.

It’ll be fun to see how many people don’t tune in for this.

FOX News reports:

Obama chooses supporter Stephen Colbert for debut interview at controversial presidential center

For his first televised interview from the controversial Obama Presidential Center, Barack Obama is turning to a familiar ally: Stephen Colbert.

The sit-down comes just weeks before Colbert is set to exit late-night television after CBS and parent company Paramount canceled “The Late Show.” Obama’s decision to sit down with Colbert, an adoring fan of the former president, drew derision from some conservative commentators.

Colbert has long been a Democratic supporter, notably emceeing a $26 million fundraiser for former presidents Joe Biden, Bill Clinton and Obama at Radio City Music Hall in 2024.

The former president has appeared multiple times on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” and “The Late Show.” During a 2020 interview, Colbert told Obama he needed to “drink [Obama] in” because he missed seeing a real president.

He also once cooed, “I miss you” to a clip of Obama on his show during Trump’s first term.

The announcement of the interview prompted criticism from Outkick writer Ian Miller, who argued Colbert has long traded comedy for partisan activism.

“Stephen Colbert going out the way he came in, absolutely refusing to do comedy and putting on the most boring, generic left wing talk show imaginable,” he wrote on X.

The one upside in all of this is that by the time this happens, Colbert will be off the air. Having killed the Late Show, he is going to have to find a new gig to ruin. Maybe he’ll end up at MSNOW. Isn’t that where he should have been all along?

Ilhan Omar Rages at Reporter Who Confronted Her About Financial Disclosure: ‘You’re Stupid’

Ilhan Omar Rages at Reporter Who Confronted Her About Financial Disclosure: ‘You’re Stupid’

Ilhan Omar Rages at Reporter Who Confronted Her About Financial Disclosure: ‘You’re Stupid’
April 24, 2026

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota brushed aside a journalist who asked her to explain how Omar’s net worth on reporting forms could shrink.

Last week, Congressional disclosures reviewed by the Wall Street Journal put Omar’s wealth at somewhere between $18,000 and $95,000. Previous filings put her wealth between $6 million and $30 million, Fox News reported.

Omar’s office has said accounting errors were responsible for the initial estimates, but has never explained them in detail.

A Lindell TV reporter tried to break through the stone wall of vague deflections, but was turned aside. The conversation began with Omar insisting she stood by a past denigration of the reporter, according to a video posted to X.

WARNING: The following social media post contains vulgar language that some may find offensive.

“I said I absolutely think you’re stupid for asking me anything,” Omar said.

When offered a chance to explain how her wealth could shrink once it became a lightning rod for criticism, she refused.

“I have explained to the American people,” she said, adding, “I have given them the explanation.”

The reporter tried again to get a response. She did.

“I don’t want to tell you jack s***,” Omar said in closing.

“How about that?” Omar said, ending the conversation by telling the journalist, “Have a good day.”

Certified Public Accountant Dan Geltrude, who founded Geltrude & Company in 1995, said Omar cannot shift blame onto others, according to Alpha News.

“Let’s call this for what it is: When a congressperson has to file these financial disclosure forms, they are signing them and by signing them, what are they saying? They are true, complete, and accurate to the best of their knowledge,” Geltrude said.

“So are you telling me that she didn’t notice that her net worth went from 100,000 to 30 million? Don’t blame the accountant. You can’t say you don’t know. Your signature on that form holds you legally accountable,” he said.

“The accountant did not make these numbers up. These numbers were provided in some form for the accountant to prepare the forms,” Geltrude said.

“But again, I go back to she is responsible. So what it tells me is either she misled in some way, or she simply didn’t review the forms. Either way, there is no excuse here … None.”

How the change came about could still be revealed as House Republicans investigate, Fox News wrote.

“Ilhan Omar is even more clueless than I thought if she thinks this financial disclosure revision clears her of suspicion,” Republican Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota said.

“She can backtrack, obfuscate, and distract all she wants but she’s made clear who she is: A fraud-enabling, racist antisemite who espouses anti-American rhetoric every chance she gets,” he said.

Speaker Johnson Addresses ‘Missing’ GOP Lawmaker Who Hasn’t Cast a Vote Since Early March

Speaker Johnson Addresses ‘Missing’ GOP Lawmaker Who Hasn’t Cast a Vote Since Early March
April 24, 2026

House Speaker Johnson on Friday provided an update to a GOP lawmaker who hasn’t voted in more than a month.

Rep. Thomas Kean (R-NJ) has missed more than 50 roll call votes.

Speaker Johnson told ABC News that Rep. Kean is dealing with personal health matters.

“I was happy to speak to Tom Kean, Jr. this afternoon by phone. He is attending to a personal health matter and expects to be back to 100% very soon,” Johnson told ABC News.

“Tom is one of the most dedicated and hardest-working Members of Congress, and I am grateful for all he does and will continue to do to serve New Jerseyans and our country,” Johnson said.

ABC News reported:

Republican Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. of New Jersey has missed votes in the House for more than a month without personally providing his constituents with an explanation.

Kean, 57, cast his last vote on March 5. Since then, he’s missed 50 roll call votes.

As House Speaker Mike Johnson navigates a narrow majority, a Republican member’s prolonged absence could impact the ability to move must-pass legislation and President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Johnson is currently trying to pass Department of Homeland Security funding, a long-term extension of FISA and the farm bill — all relying on Republican votes. Johnson can only afford to lose two votes on any party-line bill, and that’s if all members are present and voting.

Speaker Johnson said in a statement provided to ABC News that he spoke to Kean by phone on Thursday, and that he is dealing with an unspecified “personal health matter.”

In 2024, a Republican Congresswoman who had been “missing” for six months was finally found in a dementia care home.

Rep. Kay Granger, 81, had served as the representative for Texas’s 12th Congressional District since 1997.

However, she suddenly disappeared from the public eye in July 2024, when she cast her final vote against an amendment to reduce the salary of Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pesticide Programs to $1.

A curious reporter at the local Dallas Express newspaper did some digging on Granger’s whereabouts and has finally been able to give her constituents some answers.

The reporter learned that Granger was residing at an assisted living facility specializing in memory care.

Granger retired from Congress in January 2025.

Winning: Global Desire to Move to US Plummets Amid Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

Winning: Global Desire to Move to US Plummets Amid Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

Winning: Global Desire to Move to US Plummets Amid Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
April 24, 2026

Donald Trump speaks at a press conference in the White House briefing room, flanked by American flags and the presidential seal.

A new survey showed that President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration is sending a message.

A survey from Gallup indicated that as Trump pushes to deport illegal immigrants and ban potential terrorists, the number of people who want to come here has declined.

Gallup’s 2025 migration survey shows that 15 percent of respondents around the world who want to leave their country picked the U.S. as their destination of choice, which put the U.S. first among potential destinations.

For context, the figure was at 24 percent in 2009 during the Obama administration, and dipped to around 18 percent during Trump’s first term.

The 2025 results are from 144,000 people in 140 countries and include 2023 results from China, the last year the question was asked there.

Gallup asked respondents, “Ideally, if you had the opportunity, would you like to move permanently to another country, or would you prefer to continue living in this country?” Anyone who wanted to leave was then asked where they would ideally live.

The survey found that as Trump has slammed the door on illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America, migrating to America has lost some of its luster in those regions.

In 2024, 33 percent of those surveyed from Latin America said they wanted to come to America. That fell to 28 percent in 2025.

In Mexico, 21 percent of those surveyed said they wanted to move to the U.S., dropping from Biden-era highs back to the level of the first Trump administration.

In Honduras, the will to migrate to the U.S. fell from 71 percent to 36 percent.


Trump has made no apologies for his stance.

“It is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from foreign nationals who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security and public safety, incite hate crimes, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes,” he wrote in a December proclamation to limit the entry of potential terrorists to the U.S.

“The United States must exercise extreme vigilance during the visa-issuance and immigration processes to identify, prior to their admission or entry into the United States, foreign nationals who intend to harm Americans or our national interests. The United States Government must ensure that admitted aliens do not intend to threaten its citizens; undermine or destabilize its culture, government, institutions, or founding principles; or advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists or other threats to our national security,” he wrote.

The State Department also warned potential illegal immigrants not to make the journey into the country.

“Those who try to abuse the visa system to reach the United States illegally will face consequences. Individuals who are found to have intentionally provided inaccurate information on visa applications or during interviews will jeopardize their ability to travel to the United States and may be permanently ineligible to enter the United States,” it warned.

“They may also face criminal prosecution under local and federal U.S. law. Those who commit fraud and abuse our visa process will be caught. Those who are issued a visa and use it improperly, including by overstaying or otherwise breaking U.S. laws, risk consequences ranging from deportation to a lifetime ban on entry,” it added.
