Donald Trump Commutes Roger Stone’s 3-Year Prison Sentence
On Friday (July 10), the White House revealed that Donald Trump was commuting the prison sentence imposed on his friend and former political consultant, Roger Stone. The 67-year-old advisor is one of the six Trump associates that was sentenced to federal prison after a Special Counsel investigation examined their involvement with alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. While there was insufficient evidence to conclude the Trump campaign conspired with Russia, several of Donald Trump’s advisors had been found guilty of a multitude of crimes that led to their arrest by the FBI. After being convicted of obstructing official proceedings, making false statements to Congress, and witness tampering, Stone was sentenced to a total of 40 months in prison. According to reports by CNN, Roger Stone was set this upcoming Tuesday after his request to postpone his surrender date due to the coronavirus pandemic was rejected. However, that didn’t stop Donald Trump from pardoning his longtime crony right before he set to serve his prison time this past Friday.

The White House released an official statement defending Trump’s decision to commute Roger Stone’s three-year prison sentence that reads,
“Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency.” The statement continues, “There was never any collusion between the Trump Campaign, or the Trump Administration, with Russia … Roger Stone has already suffered greatly. He was treated very unfairly, as were many others in this case. Roger Stone is now a free man!”
On Friday, Trump revealed to the media that he would be looking into his former advisor’s prison sentence, stating,
“I’ll be looking at it. I think Roger Stone was very unfairly treated, as were many people.”
After it was revealed that Roger Stone would be serving zero prison time for his felonious acts, Twitter responded in an uproar. Check out some of the responses below.
Donald Trump once again has proved that his administration is willing to move lawlessly, all the while mishandling a global health pandemic and ignoring the current revolution that is taking place across the nation at this very moment. At least, Roger Stone will be able to sleep comfortably in the sanctity of his own home.

Queen Bey – Beyoncé Shatters Records With Her Unprecedented 2025 Grammy Nominations
Beyoncé is once again making headlines. After dominating the music scene, blazing through a record-breaking “Renaissance” tour, and launching a successful whiskey brand, SirDavis, weren’t enough, she’s now rewriting history at the Grammy Awards. In March, she took the world by storm with her eighth studio album release, COWBOY CARTER, which continues to echo across the charts. This year, the superstar has earned a stunning 11 Grammy nominations, setting a new record as the female artist who has ever received the most nominations in a single year. Once again, Beyoncé has firmly redefined what it means to be a trailblazer in the music industry, proving there are no limits to what she can achieve.
The 11 nods mark a new personal best for Beyoncé, who previously shared the long-standing record with Lauryn Hill at 10 nominations apiece. Hill achieved the feat in 1999, and Beyoncé first met that mark in 2010. The sheer range speaks volumes about her artistic versatility, relentless ambition, and unmatched status in the music industry. But with 2025 nominations, Beyoncé genuinely shines brightly in major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. Queen Bey’s fierce presence reinforces her iconic status in music in a highly competitive Grammy race that includes powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish.
This news arrives at an exciting time amidst swirling controversy. Despite COWBOY CARTER’s undeniable genre-bending success and Beyoncé’s well-received pivot into country influences, she was left out this year at the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards. With 17 nominations at the PCCAs, she walked away empty-handed, raising eyebrows across the industry. While Beyoncé soars on the Grammy stage, she’s faced notable snubs in the country music realm. A legend of the genre, Dolly Parton even commented on the snub in an interview with Variety, reflecting, “There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably are in the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that.”
But for Beyoncé, this year’s Grammy nods are more than a consolation prize; they validate her impact. As she heads into Grammy season with 11 nominations, it’s clear that while the country music world might still be playing catch-up, the Grammys recognize Beyoncé’s immense talent. For enthusiasts and music lovers globally, one thing is sure: Beyoncé isn’t just making history. She’s actively reshaping it. Her work demonstrates that there are no limits within her sphere and that records are not intended to endure; instead, they are designed to be rewritten. Consequently, according to her vision and standards, she possesses the ability and intent to continue influencing the music industry.
