Astute readers may have noticed a particularly glaring absence at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, and the supposed reason for her absence will raise a few eyebrows.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a national funeral service is currently being held for Carter, who passed away at the age of 100 last week, at Washington National Cathedral this morning. This marks the conclusion of his state funeral, as NBC News notes.

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and President-elect Donald Trump are all in attendance. Joe Biden, who declared a National Day of Mourning and closed the federal offices today, will deliver the eulogy.

But Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, never bothered to show up to pay her respects to the 39th President. Politico notes that Michelle would have had to sit next to Trump had she attended the proceeding.

Because of his wife’s absence, Barack Obama ended up taking her place next to Trump. As one will see, he and Trump appeared to be having a good time:

But a person “familiar” with Michelle’s schedule ‘assured‘ Politico that she was not trying to snub the 45th and soon-to-be-47th president. Instead, the unnamed Obama source claimed Barack’s wife had a “scheduling conflict” and was forced to stay in Hawaii.

This individual refused to specify precisely what conflict was so severe that Michelle had to miss the funeral. But the fact that she was supposed to sit next to the person she loathes perhaps more than anyone in the world should not be ignored.

However, Michelle did have an aide pass along her condolences to the Carter family instead of an appearance.

“Mrs. Obama sends her thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from the remarkable former President,” said Crystal Carson, a spokesperson for Michelle Obama.

Last year, Michelle Obama shared her disdain and fear of Trump regarding what was then a hypothetical return to the White House. This news came as speculation emerged that she was planning on seeking the presidency herself.

Here is what she said to Jay Shetty on his podcast “On Purpose” back in January 2024:

Things that keep me up because you, you don’t have control over them. And you wonder, where are people that, where are we in this? You know, where are our hearts? What’s gonna happen in this next election?

I am terrified about what could possibly happen. Because our leaders matter. Who we select. Who speaks for us. Who holds that bully pulpit. It affects us in ways that I sometimes think people take for granted

Trump warned about this.

Senate Democrats are quietly working to delay Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing next week.

President Trump nominated Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence.

“I am pleased to announce that former Congresswoman, Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard, will serve as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our Country and the Freedoms of all Americans. As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties – She is now a proud Republican! I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength. Tulsi will make us proud!” Trump said in November.

Late last month President Trump sounded the alarm on Senate Democrats’ plan to “improperly stall and delay the confirmation process” of many of his Cabinet nominees.

We just won a Historic Landslide and Mandate from the American People, but Senate Democrats are organizing to improperly stall and delay the confirmation process of many of our Great Nominees. They will try all sorts of tricks starting very soon. Republicans must not allow them…

Senate Democrats are secretly sabotaging Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation by claiming she has not provided enough “vetting materials.”

Axios reported:

Senate Democrats are forcing a delay in Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing next week, claiming she hasn’t provided required vetting materials — while Republicans accuse them of playing games, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: It’s the first taste of what’s expected to be a drama-filled few weeks as the Senate takes up some of President-elect Trump’s most controversial Cabinet picks.

• Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is balking at GOP requests to hold a hearing for Gabbard early next week, according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations.
• Gabbard, a former member of the House, is Trump’s pick for national intelligence director.
• Warner has pointed out that the committee has not yet received Gabbard’s FBI background check, ethics disclosure or a pre-hearing questionnaire, a source familiar with the matter told us. Committee rules require the background check a week in advance of a hearing.

The other side: Gabbard completed the background check process last week, according to a source working with the nominee. Her active security clearance also means the process will be expedited.

In 2022, former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard announced that she was leaving the Democrat party, calling Democrats the party of warmongers and wokeness.

WATCH:

I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are… pic.twitter.com/oAuTnxZldf

In October, Tulsi announced she is joining the Republican party at a Trump rally in North Carolina.

“I’m joining the party of the people. The party of equality. The party founded to fight against and end slavery… It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace,” Tulsi said.

All over Europe, the mainstream parties have tried to prevent right-wing candidates from taking advantage of the European climate that is shifting citizens’ opinions towards the right side of the political spectrum.

In Romania they went as far as annulling the whole election under the bogus suspicion of ‘Russian interference’.

Now, the ruling coalition in Bucharest agreed to rerun a two-round presidential election on May 4 and May 18.

The liberals and Globalists will endorse a single candidate to try to keep right-wing Calin Georgescu from repeating his win in the annulled first presidential round on Nov. 24.

Reuters reported:

“Amid suspicions of Russian interference, the top court annulled the presidential election and ordered the new coalition government to rerun it in its entirety.

Romania’s outgoing president, Klaus Iohannis, will stay on as head of state until the May election. The new government will approve the calendar for the new ballot on Monday, the Liberals said.

The coalition parties say they agreed to back a single presidential candidate to prevent the far right from winning. Their candidate is Crin Antonescu, a former Liberal leader, though analysts say they may yet switch to backing somebody else.”

But, to the desperation of Romania’s Globalist Political establishment, the candidate they smeared as ‘pro-Putin and far-right’ remains the voters’ first choice.

Financial Times reported:

“More than 40 per cent of respondents surveyed by Verifield in late December said they would back Călin Georgescu for the presidency.

The survey was carried out weeks after the country’s constitutional court annulled a first-round vote in which the far-right candidate came first, saying he probably benefited from an illegal campaign coordinated by Moscow.”

’Georgescu is undoubtedly the biggest danger Romanian democracy has faced in its post-communist history’, [Liberal politician Nicusor Dan] told the Financial Times. ‘His recent performance and our polling numbers confirm that this will be anything but a normal election, as the stakes are high and a large part of the electorate is very angry’.”

The fake news media was out promoting another conspiracy on Tuesday, this time targeting Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.

For years now, the fake news legacy media is determined to smear and create hostility toward the conservative Court and its most conservative members.

In June 2022, a California man named Nicholas Roske was arrested near the Maryland home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Roske reportedly told police he was there to kill Justice Kavanaugh. After the story broke, the Supreme Court issued a statement confirming the incident. Roske was in possession of a handgun, knife, pepper spray, and burglary tools when he was arrested.

The legacy media refused to condemn the protests outside of the homes of the conservative SCOTUS members.

Earlier this week the fake news breathlessly reported that Justice Alito spoke with President Trump earlier in the week. The media assumed that Trump spoke with Alito about his request to delay crooked Judge Merchan’s sentencing on Friday morning.

On Wednesday Justice Alito responded to the media reports. He denied the Merchan case was discussed.

Via ABC News.

“We did not discuss the emergency application he filed today, and indeed, I was not even aware at the time of our conversation that such an application would be filed,” Alito said. “We also did not discuss any other matter that is pending or might in the future come before the Supreme Court or any past Supreme Court decisions involving the President-elect.”

So, once again, the fake news media pushed a completely bogus conspiracy that later fell completely apart.

It is no wonder that the US ranks last among 46 countries in trust in the media. Maybe it’s because of all the fake news?

Karen Pence is obviously a very bitter woman.

The former Second Lady pointedly ignored Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, when the two couples came together at Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

After shaking the hand of former vice president Al Gore, Trump graciously shook the hand of his former deputy, Mike Pence.

While her husband showed decency in greeting the president-elect, Karen refused to do so.

Even Barack Obama, who has never had a good relationship with Trump, was seen sharing an engaging conversation. At one point, the two men even broke into laughter.

Karen, whose name has coincidentally become synonymous an entitled and demanding woman, clearly still holds a massive grudge against Trump over the events of January 6th, 2021.

However, it was her husband, Mike Pence, who betrayed Trump and all his supporters by refusing to challenge the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, despite the widespread evidence of massive voter fraud that tipped the results in favor of Joe Biden.

Pence’s refusal to challenge the results was made all worse that he had repeatedly promised to stand by Trump in challenging the stolen election.

In 2022, Pence launched his own ill-fated presidential campaign in which he consistently failed to ever poll above single digits.

After promising to support the eventual Republican nominee on the debate stage, Pence then went back on his word again and refused to endorse Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Following Trump’s victory, Pence said he was “literally praying” that Trump would not pardon all of those involved in January 6th, despite the fact that they were his supporters who had faced years of relentless torture and persecution by the Biden regime.

“I don’t think the president should pardon anyone who assaulted a police officer at the United States Capitol on January 6,” Pence said at the time.

“Karen and I are literally praying that President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance will stand on the commitments that they will make when they raise their right hands on that day.”
