Don Lemon Says Megyn Kelly Looks 'Trans'

Yahoo.com:

Don Lemon has landed in hot water once again after making harsh comments about Megyn Kelly’s looks during his new podcast. The former CNN anchor, who often speaks out in support of the LGBTQ community, shocked many by saying Kelly “looks trans” and “chopped.”

The clip quickly went viral, and even his longtime fans are struggling to defend him, calling the remarks cruel, hypocritical, and beneath someone who claims to stand for inclusivity. The backlash began after Lemon made offensive comments while discussing “MAGA women” on “Clip Farmers.”

When one of his co-hosts asked if Kelly was “chopped,” a slang for ugly, Lemon replied, “I think she looks trans.” The 59-year-old went on to say that the journalist “looks clockable,” a term often used to suggest someone could be identified as transgender.

To be fair, going back to his famous brouhaha with rapper Talib Kweli some years back Don Lemon has always been a prick. After all, Lemon is a guy who always whines and complains about the evil's of white men--yet he's "married" to one. Lemon is also the same guy who used to 'scream at' female colleagues while he was at CNN. Back in 2023, while still at CNN, he was accused of ageism for saying Nikki Haley ss 'past her prime'. Lemon also didn't bother to check in on Chris Cuomo after his 'friend' and colleague was canned by CNN during COVID. And Lemon was recently called out by Piers Morgan for being a hypocrite and a 'complete dick' due to Lemon's smug attitude, elitism and entitlement during their interview on Morgan's show. Lemon is also the same guy who refuses to call himself a liberal even though 99% of the time he takes the side of the Left on political and socioeconomic issues. And I'm saying all this as someone who doesn't even like Megyn Kelly that much.

Stephen Miller’s Wife Explicitly Threatens Cenk Uygur’s Citizenship in Shocking On-Air Meltdown

Yahoo.com: 

Katie Miller, wife of senior Trump aide Stephen Miller, explicitly threatened Cenk Uygur’s citizenship Wednesday as the pair threw down in a shouting match on Piers Morgan Uncensored – warning the progressive pundit that he “better check” his application is clean. Miller, who formerly worked in the White House, threatened to walk off the show at one point during a debate over New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

When Miller protested Uygur was defending Mamdani by bringing the debate back “to the Jews and the anti-Israel movement,” he said she was “lying.” Miller, in turn, accused Uygur of pushing “racist, bigoted rhetoric” against her.

During the mud-slinging bout, however, while Uygur was shouting her down, Miller let out a striking remark. “You better check your citizenship application that everything was legal and correct,” she said. “Because you’ll be just be like Ilhan Omar coming next.”

Yeah, threatening to deport someone because you don't like something they said in a debate is a new level of crazy. Still, looking at Stephen Miller's wife on screen for the first time, I couldn't help but wonder how old she was because yunno the brain doesn't fully develop until you're 25. Well, she's 34, so no excuse there. And you just know that the Left are going to have a field day with this one (as they should). That said, if I was Stephen Miller I'd probably suggest to my wife to not do any more panel debates anymore.

Australian Reporter Calls Out Kamala Harris for ‘World-Class’ Dodge on Question About Joe Biden

Mediaite.com:

Things got a bit awkward when Sarah Ferguson, a TV reporter for Australia’s ABC TV, called ex-Vice President Kamala Harris out for a “world-class pivot” away from a question about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during a Wednesday interview. “Wasn’t [Biden’s] refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason that you faced a nearly impossible task?” Ferguson asked about Harris’s doomed 2024 presidential bid. 

 

Harris took the opportunity to bash President Donald Trump and avoided talking about Biden. “Donald Trump ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, misrepresenting his intentions to the American people,” Harris said. 

 

She said a “fair amount” of MAGA voters were lied to by Trump on inflation and other issues. Harris then said Trump’s “misrepresentation of intention” and “massive amounts of mis-and-disinformation” contributed to her loss, before Ferguson jumped in to point out she avoided the question. “Forgive me… I want to interrupt you, because that is a world-class pivot,” Ferguson said. “But it is not the question that I asked you, which is about Joe Biden’s failure to recognize his own frailties and what that did to you. The question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to criticize the former president?”

Always great to see Democrats pols outside the cushy confines of an MSNBC or CNN or the like, where they know that 9 times out of 10 they'll be peppered with nothing but softball questions that they can answer in their sleep. Props to Sarah Ferguson for doing some real journalism.

Sean Grayson Found Guilty of Murder in the Death of Sonya Massey

NBCNews.com: 

Sean Grayson, a former Illinois sheriff’s deputy, was convicted Wednesday of second-degree murder in the 2024 death of Sonya Massey, a Black mother of two who had called 911 about a possible prowler.

Grayson was charged with first-degree murder, but jury instructions included the option to convict him of the lesser charge of second-degree murder. Jurors deliberated for almost 12 hours after closing arguments ended late Tuesday morning. Grayson’s family cried and held hands as the verdict was read. Outside the courthouse, protesters celebrated the guilty verdict and chanted, "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus."

Attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci, who represented her family in a $10 million civil settlement, said that they believe Grayson’s actions warranted a first-degree murder conviction but that it was "still a measure of justice for Sonya Massey."

A partial victory if you ask me as Grayson should've been found guilty on 1st degree murder, not 2nd. Massey was never a threat to that cop's life. Dumb ass just didn't know what 'rebuke' meant, the word triggered him and as he promised he'd do beforehand, he shot her to death in the face on her kitchen floor. Then too, with all the trouble Grayson had been in prior to that day, he shouldn't have been a cop, much less in Massey's home to begin with. But that's on the state of Illinois because a corner was cut in the hiring process to fill a spot. Now we wait for Grayson to get sentenced and he better get the max as anything less is an injustice to Sonya Massey's life.

Trump Adminostration Sued Over Food Stamp Freeze

CBSNews.com:

A coalition of officials from half of the states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration on Tuesday over the suspension of food stamp benefits amid the ongoing government shutdown, as millions of Americans brace for a disruption in federal food aid in the coming days.

The states, which include California, New York and Pennsylvania, are asking a federal judge in Massachusetts to order the Department of Agriculture to provide benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for November, including by tapping into a contingency fund to ensure the assistance continues to flow to more than 25 million people living within their borders.

They argue that the administration's decision to cut off food stamp payments, which are provided to roughly 42 million people nationwide, is unlawful and threatens to deprive millions of Americans of essential food benefits that help protect against food insecurity and hunger.

Of course, both sides are to blame for this food stamp situation. What with Democrats openly admitting that they're using this shutdown for 'leverage', while Republicans could end the shutdown by doing what Democrat Senator John Fetterman recently suggested: 'nuke' the filibuster to end it. Nonetheless, I'm guessing that the Democrat states using will be be able to find some judge out there to side with the,, putting the GOP in a very awkward spot if they try to appeal.

Democrats Stand by 88-Year-Old Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton in 'Early Stages of Dementia'

NBCNews.com:

Eleanor Holmes Norton — the 88-year-old nonvoting delegate for Washington, D.C., in the House of Representatives — is facing calls from a prominent Democratic strategist to make 2026 her last full year in Congress. 

 

Former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile, who was Norton’s campaign manager when she was first elected in 1990 and her chief of staff for eight years, wrote in an opinion piece in The Washington Post on Monday that she should not seek re-election during the midterms. 

 

Brazile, 65, called Norton her “dear friend for 44 years,” her “role model and mentor” and “a second mother.” “But Norton, a Democrat, is now 88 — the oldest current House member. She is no longer the dynamo she once was, at a time when D.C. needs the kind of energetic representation in Congress she provided for decades,” Brazile wrote.

This feels like a repeat of what Democrats did recently with 90-year-old Senator Dianne Feinstein: keeping an aging establishment figure in office simply because she was a guaranteed vote who kept corporate donors satisfied. And we all saw how that ended. Now, with Norton clearly showing signs of dementia, it’s the same story again: her handlers refusing to let her step down, and Democrats still failing to recognize their growing age problem.

MSNBC Host Freezes Karine Jean-Pierre with Brutal Question: ‘Have You Apologized to Robert Hur?’ Amid Biden Cognitive Concerns

Mediaite.com:

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was left scrambling for an answer when MSNBC anchor Elise Jordan pressed her on the “mental acuity” of her old boss, ex-President Joe Biden. 

 

Jordan, during MSNBC’s The Weekend: Primetime on Saturday night, asked Jean-Pierre if she regretted going after Special Counsel Robert Hur, after his 2024 report called into question Biden’s cognitive ability and memory. 

 

Biden’s mental decline, Jordan said, was obvious to Americans who watched his debate with President Donald Trump in June 2024 — so why would Jean-Pierre, at the time, call Hur’s report “gratuitous” and one that did not “live in reality,” Jordan wanted to know.

You just know Karine Jean-Pierre was caught totally off guard by that question. But then all liberal guests are when MSNBC dares to do actual journalism, instead of their usual caping for Democrats that has become the standard of the network. Bottom line, this book tour isn't going well at all for KJP. And there's a few reasons why: the recent Jake Tapper book exposing Biden's lack of mental acuity while he was President, what people saw with their own eyes (yunno, stuff like Biden rarely speaking off-the-cuff, using cue cards and scripted questions at his rare press conferences and of course, his poor and infamous debate performance against Trump last year). Yet KJP, in need of book sales (and frankly speaking a job) still wants you to believe that despite spending time with Biden every day for 4 years...saw nothing. And even MSNBC isn't buying her BS.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie Proves That Donald Trump Can Work with Democrats

TheGuardian.com:

Donald Trump rarely has kind words for Democrats, especially those who stand in his way. But on Thursday the president offered something unfamiliar: a compliment. 

 

As federal agents mobilized at a US Coast Guard base in the Bay Area, Trump credited San Francisco’s new mayor, Daniel Lurie, for “very nicely” persuading him to stand down from a planned immigration enforcement “surge” in the city this weekend. 

 

“I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around,” Trump wrote, without hurling an epithet or nickname. “I told him, ‘It’s an easier process if we do it, faster, stronger, and safer but, let’s see how you do?’”

Of course Donald Trump can work with Democrats, after all, he used to be one. Like any president, though, Trump must prioritize his party’s interests first. Still, with 47, his ego also plays a major role, yet and that could actually work in Democrats’ favor. Imagine someone like Ro Khanna approaching Trump about paid leave, an issue supported by roughly 80% of Americans across party lines. You don’t think Trump would listen, especially with the midterms approaching? Sure, he’d want to take credit for it and would need his ego stroked, but Khanna might actually push a bill through if he tried hard enough. And since paid leave is so popular, Republicans would look bad rejecting it, making it a potential win for Democrats.

Stephen A. Smith Bends the Knee and Apologizes to Jasmine Crockett for Criticizing Her

FOXNews.com:

Radio host Stephen A. Smith posted a video Wednesday offering an apology to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, after he previously called out her performative politics. 

 

Ahead of his show, Smith released a video titled "An apology to Jasmine Crockett" that addressed his past attacks on the Texas representative's fiery behavior. 

 

The cultural commentator said his comments had "been misconstrued and misinterpreted" by critics, but he felt compelled to defend Crockett after seeing "disturbing" comments about her from President Donald Trump.

Bottom line: SAS got the call. That’s what happened after he dared to offer constructive criticism (without insults or name-calling) toward the vile, race-baiting creature that is Jasmine Crockett. Indeed, the backlash from the Democrat shills and Black elites within the woke mob towards Smith was immediate, brash, and deeply personal. And, like a good little puppet, Smith folded. You see, Jasmine Crockett isn’t a typical politician that one can fairly critique or call out on her policies (or lack thereof(. She’s the angry face of the Democratic Party and beyond reproach, no matter how foolishly she consistently behaves on TV. So, the woke mob put SAS in his place, and oh so conveniently, the very next day, Smith shifted left and began attacking Trump. Good boy!

Amazon Plans to Replace More Than Half a Million Jobs With Robots

Fox56News.com:

Amazon is hoping robots can help it avoid hiring more than half a million U.S. workers, according to The New York Times.

The e-commerce giant’s automation team projects that the company won’t have to hire over 160,000 U.S. workers it would otherwise need by 2027, the Times reported, citing interviews and internal strategy documents. The shift would reportedly save Amazon roughly 30 cents on every item it picks, packs and delivers.

By 2033, automation could eliminate the need for more than 600,000 additional hires, even as the company expects to sell twice as many products, the Times said. The leaked documents reportedly show Amazon’s robotics team aims to automate 75% of the company’s operations, and the online retailer has already begun preparing PR strategies to manage potential backlash.

This plan exposes the dark side of automation. As while efficiency and profits soar, human livelihoods face extinction. As the shift threatens not only warehouse jobs, but also the economic stability of countless families, proving that corporate convenience often comes with a devastating social cost.

Suspect in Charlotte, NC, Train Stabbing of Iryna Zarutska Indicted on Federal Charges, Death Penalty Possible

NYPost.com:

The career criminal charged with fatally stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the Charlotte light rail system was indicted Wednesday on federal charges that could land him the death penalty, according to reports. 

 

Accused killer Decarlos Brown Jr., 31, has been charged with violence against a railroad carrier and mass transportation system resulting in death after a federal grand jury in North Carolina returned an indictment against him, ABC News reported. 

 

The charges make him eligible for the death penalty. Brown was allegedly caught in a harrowing video surveillance stabbing Zarutska, 23, to death on Aug. 22 on the Lynx Blue Line light rail in Charlotte.

Too bad for this career criminal that committing murder on mass transit, regardless of whether the system stays within state lines, is a federal crime. Still, the criminal justice system shares some of the blame for allowing this lifelong felon to remain on the streets in the first place. That said, I don’t personally support the death penalty, but I also won’t lose a wink of sleep if Brown ends up on death row.

DNC Disburses $1.6M More to Settle Kamala Harris' 2024 Campaign Debts, Total Tops $20 Million

NYPost.com:

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is still paying off shortfalls incurred by former Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed 2024 election campaign — with at least $1.6 million paid out in September alone, according to the latest federal filings. 

 

The Harris campaign shelled out $1.49 million alone for media production and consulting, $106,312 for data services and $21,762 to rent space at a Grand Rapids, Mich. community center for an October 2024 event alongside billionaire investor Mark Cuban touting the Democratic nominee as the “pro-business candidate.” 

 

Last month’s payouts push the total debt covered since Election Day to more than $20 million, according to Axios, which first reported on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.

All that money for a vacuous, DEI and Zionist candidate who campaigned with famous warmonger Liz Cheney and totally ignored working-class voters on the campaign trail and the Democrat part is still paying for their ass-backwards mistake.

Opening Statements Begin in Trial of Former Illinois Deputy Accused of Killing Sonya Massey

NBCNews.com:

Lawyers gave their opening statements to a jury at the Peoria County Courthouse on Wednesday morning, officially kicking off the trial of a former Illinois deputy accused of fatally shooting Sonya Massey.

Sean Grayson, 31, shot Massey, a 36-year-old Black mother of two, in June 2024 after she called authorities to her Springfield home about a possible prowler. The former Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy, who is white, said in a report written after the incident that he feared bodily harm because Massey was holding a pot of boiling water and said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”

Nearly two weeks later, Grayson was fired and charged with first-degree murder, one count of aggravated battery and one count of official misconduct. He pleaded not guilty and was held in jail pending trial.

First of all, Sean Grayson had no business being in Sonya Massey’s house to begin with. He had a history of trouble in law enforcement, having been disciplined for misconduct on the job and bouncing between multiple positions in just a few years-—a major red flag if there ever was one. He also didn’t have his body camera on during the incident (another erd flag) and we only got to see a video of the incidnet because his partner's badge cam was on. Plus, when he told Massey to turn off the stove where water was boiling, she had already shown signs of mental illness, something a trained police officer should be aware of. I’m also convinced that Grayson didn’t even understand what the word “rebuke” meant, and instead took it as a threat. That misunderstanding seemed to trigger him, leading to his outburst—yelling that he’d “shoot her in the face” if she didn’t put the pot down. At that point, Massey was as good as gone. What’s worse, after shooting her, Grayson showed a shocking indifference to life when his partner tried to render aid and he told him not to bother because she was “dead anyway.” Bottom line: Sean Grayson murdered Sonya Massey, the facts are all on video. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison, and the city of Springfield should also be held accountable for hiring Grayson in the first place.

Appeals Court Allows Trump to Deploy Troops to Oregon

Mediaite.com:

President Donald Trump can send National Guard troops to Oregon presumably to protect a Portland ICE facility from violent protestors, an appeals court ruled on Monday afternoon, giving the president’s administration a key legal victory in what it says is its push to crack down on crime and illegal immigration in major cities.

The ruling was made in a federal appeals court in San Francisco, with two Trump-appointed judges siding with the administration, while a judge appointed by Bill Clinton sided against it. Monday’s ruling allows the president to send 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland, overriding a federal court ruling earlier this month that temporarily blocked the administration from doing so.

The Trump Administration had argued it was allowed by the U.S. Constitution to use the National Guard when “rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States” was imminent. The court agreed with the administration’s interpretation.

Of course, if you’re one of those TDS-suffering simpletons out there who’s automatically against Trump on everything, the idea of him deploying the National Guard to your crime-ridden city only feeds your “Trump is a fascist” narrative (even as hundreds are killed there each year). But if you’re an ordinary, working-class resident of said city, you understand that a strong police presence really does deter crime and you appreciate having a president who genuinely cares about your safety. When it comes to crime, it’s an issue Trump understands and Democrats simply don’t.

Newly Woke Black Actor Marlon Wayans Gets Berated and Disrespected by Toxic White Feminist Julia Fox

HuffPo.com:

Marlon Wayans, Julia Fox and Tyriq Withers recently sat down with BAFTA to promote their new sports horror movie, “HIM.” At one point during the interview, the trio were asked why they think it’s important to make movies that explore toxic masculinity and what a “real man” is — and Fox quickly made it clear that she wasn’t satisfied with Wayans’ response.

“I think the youth needs to hear what real men are. You know, there’s masculine...” Wayans began before being cut off by Fox, who pulled a face and asked, “But what are real men?”

Fox, who pulled a face and asked, “But what are real men?” “Right,” Wayans continued. “To me, a real man is a responsible man—” he said before being interrupted again. Fox interjected, “’Cause every time a man does some fuck shit, they’ll be like, ’That’s not a real man!’ And it’s like, ‘Looks like a man to me!’”

Funny how life works. Recently, Marlon Wayans went on a press run proudly sharing that, after some initial hesitation, he had finally come to love and accept his “trans” child. A move that earned him a high amount of praise in liberal circles and boosted his standing in Hollywood’s woke culture. But then this happens: Marlon stars in a project alongside Kanye West’s white, toxic, and openly racist ex-girlfriend, who repeatedly disrespects him during an interview by constantly interrupting, only to suddenly fall silent while her white colleague speaks and answers the same question Marlon did. The guy just can't win.

Gaza Truce Frays as Israel Hits Hamas After Attacks on IDF

JNS.org:

Hamas terrorists attacked Israel Defense Forces in southern Gaza on Sunday, triggering retaliatory airstrikes and high-level political deliberations in Jerusalem as the U.S.–brokered ceasefire deteriorated. “Earlier today, terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops operating to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the Rafah area, in southern Gaza, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement,” the IDF said.

“In response, the IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity,” the statement continued.

“These terrorist actions constitute a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, and the IDF will respond firmly,” the military added.

This was bound to happen. Benjamin Netanyahu is a sociopath who loves to bomb people and won't end wiping out Gaza until the mission is complete. And Hamas wants to hold onto their control of the region and admittedly has broken agreements of the latest ceasefire. Honestly nothing ends until the U.S. stops arming Israel, Netanyahu and Hamas steps down and there's a two-state solution.

New Georgia Project, Voting Group Founded by Stacey Abrams, Closes After Massive Fines for Ethic Violations

AtlantaNewsFirst.com:

After what has been a year of fines, layoffs and instability, the New Georgia Project, a group founded by Stacey Abrams, has shut its doors for good. Abrams founded the New Georgia Project in 2013, but stepped down in 2017 saying she had no role with the group thereafter. The Atlanta Democrat served in the state House from 2007-14, including a period as House minority leader.

Georgia U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, a close Abrams ally and Baptist minister, was listed as the New Georgia Project’s CEO on corporate filings in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

In a statement Thursday, the group said since its founding, it has believed that “every voice matters and that democracy thrives when people are informed, organized and empowered.”

Whether it was false "voter suppression" claims or refusing to concede an election that she clearly lost or (under Joe Biden) receiving $2 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund fledging non-profit groups until it was recently uncovered by DOGE, outside of Kamala Harris' meteoric rise to VP, no Black woman in the Woke era has pulled more grifting and scams and frauds than Stacey Abrams. If the GOP was smart, they'd immediately do an investigation into her financial impropriety while they still can.

Trump Frees Imprisoned Ex-Congressman George Santos

CNN.com:

President Donald Trump said on social media Friday that he has commuted the sentence of disgraced former Rep. George Santos, who had been serving a seven-year term for the fraud charges that got him ousted from Congress. 

 

“George Santos was somewhat of a ‘rogue,’ but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison,” the president wrote on Truth Social. 

 

“George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life,” Trump added. Trump’s commutation comes just months after Santos, 37, surrendered on July 25 to serve 87 months in prison.

I always thought it was lame that, while a senile Joe Biden and Democrats beholden to him kept doubling down on wokeness, so many Republicans, supposedly the ones standing on “principle”, banded together to kick George Santos out of Congress. Sure, Santos was accused of all sorts of crimes, duped his voters, and came off like a total weirdo at times, but the GOP should’ve let the legal process play out instead of handing Democrats a win by expelling him. As if their show of moral unity would impress a Democratic Party that routinely covers for its own when they get caught doing wrong. That whole move was just corny. That said, wouldn’t it be funny if Santos ran for Congress again? After all, while he was a Congressman he was loyal vote for the GOP, so the financial backing could easily be there if he decided to make a comeback.

VP JD Vance Brushes Off Racist Texts by Adults in Republican Group Chat as ‘What Kids Do’

APNews.com:

The public release of a Young Republican group chat that included racist language, jokes about rape and flippant commentary on gas chambers prompted bipartisan calls for those involved to be removed from or resign their positions. 

 

The Young Republican National Federation, the GOP’s political organization for Republicans between 18 and 40, called for those involved to step down from the organization. The group described the exchanges, first reported by Politico, as “unbecoming of any Republican.” 

 

Republican Vice President JD Vance, however, has weighed in several times to speak out against what he characterized as “pearl clutching” over the leaked messages. Politico obtained months of exchanges from a Telegram conversation between leaders and members of the Young Republican National Federation and some of its affiliates in New York, Kansas, Arizona and Vermont.

I understand Vance’s thinking here: when you have Democrats refusing to condemn the disgusting and vile texts recently uncovered from their own Virginia AG nominee, Jay Jones, the last people you want lecturing you are the self-righteous hypocrites on the Left. Still, what's wrong is wrong, and it’s just unacceptable for Vance to downplay or refuse to denounce those group chat messages.

Longtime Warmonger John Bolton Indicted Over Handling of Classified Material

WaPo.com:

John Bolton, a former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who has become one of his fiercest critics, was indicted Thursday on charges of mishandling classified and sensitive material.

The indictment, returned by a federal grand jury in Greenbelt, Maryland, charged Bolton with 18 counts of transmitting or retaining national defense information. The charges each carry a maximum 10-year prison sentence should he be convicted.

The indictment alleges Bolton shared more than a thousand pages of “diary-like” updates detailing his sensitive work between 2018 and 2019 with two relatives who were assisting him in preparing a book he published in 2020.

By focusing solely on John Bolton’s brief stint with Trump (a little over a year) and ignoring his earlier tenure as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under George W. Bush, where he was one of the leading advocates for the Iraq War, the msm (which despises Trump) will inevitably try to make this about Trump once again targeting his “enemies.” In doing so, they overlook the fact that Bolton, a longtime neocon and warmonger, may simply be facing long-overdue consequences if he’s found guilty. And judging from reports, the charges against him are very serious, including allegations that he shared classified information with family members who had no security clearance. It’s also worth noting that this case began gaining traction while Joe Biden was still in office, which double-down's on the idea that Bolton is really fucked.

Inside the Congressional Black Caucus’s Deep Ties to AIPAC

TheNation.com:

More than a year has passed since the International Court of Justice, the United Nations’ highest judicial body, issued its first order in the landmark case brought against Israel by South Africa, which contends that Israel has been committing acts of genocide in its war in Gaza. The ICJ found that “with respect to the right of the Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from acts of genocide…and the right of South Africa to seek Israel’s compliance,” South Africa’s case was “plausible.” Plausible: a restrained word that, in this context, fails to convey the harsh truth of the war Israel has been conducting. Palestinians are being starved, displaced, and slaughtered. More than 60,000 Palestinians have died, and 1.9 million are being brutally displaced, in a manner eerily similar to the dispossession of their forebears in the Nakba of 1948. By the end of September, according to a group of international food-aid organizations, more than 600,000 Palestinians would be experiencing famine, a completely preventable calamity marked by extreme food deprivation, acute malnutrition, and starvation-related deaths.

Since the International Court’s ruling, a growing number of genocide scholars and human-rights advocates have concluded that the genocide in Gaza is not merely plausible but actual. In early September, an overwhelming majority (86 percent) of the voting members in the International Association of Genocide Scholars voted to endorse a declaration that “Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948).” The UN’s own Commission of Inquiry reached the same conclusion a few weeks later. Rabbis and Israeli human-rights groups—B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights—have testified that their own nation has betrayed the solemn pledge “Never again.” Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and other groups have witnessed the appalling deaths, displacement, and famine in Gaza and issued the same indictment: Israel is committing acts of genocide.

Yet to this day, the Congressional Black Caucus—the long-standing corps of lawmakers dedicated to safeguarding civil rights (and known as “the conscience of Congress”)—has not issued a formal declaration condemning Israel; it hasn’t even produced a statement calling for a ceasefire. The CBC’s silence isn’t accidental: More than half of its current 61 members have been endorsed or funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful US lobbying arm for Israel’s agenda. In the 2023–24 election cycle alone, AIPAC endorsed 26 of the caucus’s members, raising $4.6 million for them and another $3.5 million for Black Democratic candidates.

No surprise here, the CBC has long been suspect, given its unwavering loyalty to the Democratic establishment. For years, it’s operated hand-in-hand with institutions like the NAACP, which notably opposed holding a Democratic primary after Joe Biden dropped out of the race last year. The CBC also bankrolls the usual lineup of professional race-baiters (figures like Bakari Sellers and Keith Boykin, etc.) who regularly appear on outlets such as MSNBC and CNN, while race-baiting, spouting Democrat talking points and propping up career, do-nothing politicians like James Clyburn. So really, why wouldn’t a group of soulless, corrupt Black politicians also align themselves with Zionist interests? For them, it’s always been about the money, something the late, great Assata Shakur warned us about long ago.

MSNBC received backlash on Tuesday for being the only major news network not to air the posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony for Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last month during an event at Utah Valley University.

While the majority of cable news networks opted to air the White House ceremony, MSNBC was a noticeable exception.

“In a pathetic, biased tantrum, MSNBC—the propaganda arm of the radical left—stands alone as the ONLY network boycotting President Trump’s heroic Medal of Freedom ceremony for Charlie Kirk, proving once again they’re too cowardly to cover real American patriotism,” protested Republican commentator Eric Deters.

This 'backlash' is ridiculous. The idea that MSNBC (or any cable news network for that matter) should face backlash for not airing a ceremony about Charlie Kirk, who wasn’t an elected official or part of the Trump administration, makes no sense. Sure, criticize MSNBC all you want for being a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, but this isn’t the issue to hang your hat on. In fact, for a network that's so deeply tied to its liberal audience, why would anyone with common sense expect MSNBC to showcase a conservative activist that most of their viewers can’t stand? Smh.

California Gubernatorial Candidate Katie Porter Addresses Her Short Temper in Viral Videos

LATimes.com:

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter, under fire for recently emerged videos showing her scolding a reporter and swearing at an aide, expressed remorse for her behavior on Tuesday in her first public remarks since the incidents were publicized.

Porter, a former House member from Orange County and a top candidate in California’s 2026 governor’s race, said she “could have handled things better.”

“I think I’m known as someone who’s able to handle tough questions, who’s willing to answer questions,” Porter told Nikki Laurenzo, host of Inside California Politics and anchor on Fox40 in Sacramento. “I want people to know that I really value the incredible work that my staff can do. I think people who know me know I can be tough. But I need to do a better job expressing appreciation for the amazing work my team does.”

There have been rumors, and even a few reports, for years about Katie Porter being a terrible person. But because she’s a Democrat and most of the stories about her temper came from conservative outlets, so the mainstream media avoided it until the videos surfaced and made it impossible for them to ignore. Regardless, Porter remains the favorite to become California’s next governor because Democrats seem immune to scandal, she’s got strong name recognition, and in uber-liberal California, a Republican has virtually no chance of winning the governor’s seat.

Supreme Court Rejects Alex Jones’ Appeal of $1.4 Billion Defamation Judgment in Sandy Hook Shooting

AP.com:

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and left in place the $1.4 billion judgment against him over his description of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as a hoax staged by crisis actors.

The Infowars host had argued that a judge was wrong to find him liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress without holding a trial on the merits of allegations lodged by relatives of victims of the shooting, which killed 20 first graders and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut.

The justices did not comment on their order, which they issued without even asking the families of the Sandy Hook victims to respond to Jones’ appeal. An FBI agent who responded to the shooting also sued. A lawyer who represents Sandy Hook families said the Supreme Court had properly rejected Jones’ “latest desperate attempt to avoid accountability for the harm he has caused.”

Jones never got a trial, and the judgment against him is ridiculously excessive, but it’s hard to feel much sympathy when he’s been such a habitual scumbag over the years.

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos Has a Hissyfit and Cuts Off JD Vance Interview in On-Air Clash Over Tom Homan

NYPost.com:

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos abruptly ended a tense live interview with Vice President JD Vance on Sunday after the two clashed over reports that Trump border czar Tom Homan allegedly accepted a bribe.

Stephanopoulos, host of “This Week,” heatedly pressed the veep Sunday about whether Homan accepted a $50,000 cash bribe that undercover FBI agents allegedly offered him during a 2024 sting operation.

“Was Tom Homan recorded on an audiotape in September 2024, an FBI surveillance tape, accepting $50,000 in cash?” the anchor asked, citing a report from MSNBC.

Actually, I blame VP Vance for this because I don't know how it benefits anyone from the Trump administration to go on Stephanopoulos' show in the first place. I mean, the guy used to work for Bill Clinton so he's clearly biased. His ratings are indeed low and of course, there's that little defamation lawsuit he lost to Trump not too long ago that he obviouslu still holds a grude about. And Vance certainly knows all of this already, which is why Stephanopoulos cutting him off like that shouldn't be a surprise.

Angry, Vile Former MSNBC Host Tiffany Cross Calls Stephen A. Smith A "Self-Hating, Half-Witted" Commenter for Dissing Rep. Jasmine Crockett

TheGrio.com:

Tiffany Cross, a journalist and co-host of Native Land Podcast, made a similar yet more pointed critique of Smith and his support among Black men.

“You listen to Stephen A Smith and you find anything other than some absolute pure self-hating, little d–k energy nonsense from that half-witted idiot basking in the non-existent rays of his own ignorance,” said Cross. “It is sad to me that he even gets an audience of Black men. Why aren’t Black men right now saying: Stephen A Smith, we’re banning him. We’re not listening to his podcast. We’re not watching his show anymore. That’s what Black women do. We organize.”

Congresswoman Crockett also shared a post from Houston rapper and podcaster Willie D, who called Smith “weak.” “Stephen A. Smith taking shots at Jasmine Crockett ain’t just messy, it’s weak. Dude is sitting on one of the biggest mics in America, and instead of using it to uplift, he’s tearing down a Black woman who’s out here putting in real work. That ain’t critique, that’s betrayal,” wrote Willie D, real name William James Dennis.

To be fair, professional race-baiters like Tiffany Cross don’t just have a problem with Stephen A. Smith because he calls balls and strikes and refuses to shill for the Democratic Party (even though he’s a Democrat himself). Their real issue is that Smith dares to appear on the airwaves of their mortal enemy: FOX News, voicing legitimate criticisms of Black liberals and Democrats while yukking it up with his good buddy and staunch conservative Sean Hannity. Indeed, for many Black liberals, any association with FOX is the ultimate betrayal. 

That said, Tiffany Cross is a vile figure, incapable of offering constructive criticism at anyone who disagrees with her without resorting to name-calling, personal attacks and playing the race card. In fact, she’s arguably worse than her mentor Joy Reid, who practically wrote the book on getting paid to propagate for the Democratic agenda under the guise of Black representation. It’s no surprise then that both of their hateful, divisive schticks eventually became too much even for a liberal network like MSNBC, which fired them both. Either way, knowing Stephen A., he’ll almost certainly respond to Cross’s personal attacks on his podcast very soon and that’ll be highly entertaining to watch.

Hillary Clinton Commend Trump Over Israel-Hamas Deal

TheHill.com:

Former Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice on Friday commended President Trump for successfully facilitating the first stages of a ceasefire deal with Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

“It’s a really significant first step, and I really commend President Trump and his administration, as well as Arab leaders in the region, for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward for what’s often called the day after,” Clinton told CBS News in an interview.

“Most importantly, the conflict hopefully will end with the ceasefire,” she added. Under the terms of the agreement, the Israeli military will retreat to an agreed upon line in the Gaza Strip, cease its military strikes and liberate 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. In exchange, Hamas will release all hostages, both still living and dead. The Trump administration brokered a deal that would also eventually end in Gaza being turned over to an independent Palestinian body.

Watching Democrats reluctantly give Trump credit for this peace deal is honestly pretty entertaining, especially coming from a party that continues to rest on an identity around opposing him at every turn. But a few, like Hillary Clinton, seem to understand the bigger picture. Tho to be fair, she has the advantage of never running for office again, so her legacy is fairly secure. Most others, however, like Barack Obama, can’t bring themselves to do the same. Whether because they’re too partisan and swayed by “The Resistance,” suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, or simply never cared about achieving a peace deal to begin with.

Trump Begins Implementation of $20 Billion Bailout for Argentina

UPI.com:

The United States has finalized a $20 billion financial support framework with Argentina, making good on President Donald Trump's pledge to help the struggling country, led by ally President Javier Milei, despite growing opposition to the move from both Democrats and Republicans.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the deal Thursday on X, saying it followed four days of "intensive meetings" in Washington, D.C., with Argentina's Minister of Economy Luis Caputo.

The deal, which includes a $20 billion currency swap and the direct purchase of Argentine pesos, was completed with Argentina's central bank, said Bessent, adding that his department is prepared to "immediately" take all measures needed to stabilize the South American country's markets.

America first? Not exactly. Especially when we’re talking about a nation that happens to be one of the U.S.’s biggest allies and one that's backed by massive billionaire investment firms from around the world, not just America. Never mind that Argentina has declared bankruptcy several times in recent years (so the chances of recovering that $20 billion are slim to none), or that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once worked for billionaire, far-left political operative George Soros. So in the end, it’s the corporations that come out on top, regardless of which side of the political aisle you’re on.

Vile Conspiracy Theorist, Bigot & Trump Supporter Laura Loomer Blasts Pentagon Over Planned Qatar Military Facility in Idaho

TheHill.com:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Friday announcement that the U.S. will host a new Qatari air force facility in Idaho has drawn the ire of the Trump administration’s closest allies, including Laura Loomer, who said she felt “betrayed” over the matter. 

 

In a flurry of social media posts Friday afternoon, Loomer unleashed on the administration’s announcement that it had signed the letter greenlighting the building of a Qatar Emiri air force contingent at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in southwestern Idaho. The air arm of Qatar’s armed forces, Qatar Emiri air force pilots would train to fly F-15s in the U.S. 

 

“There isn’t a single Trump supporter who supports allowing Qatar to have a military base on US soil,” Loomer posted to the social platform X. “I don’t know who told President Trump this was a good idea, but it has made people not want to vote.” She also wrote that “no foreign country should have a military base on US soil. Especially Islamic countries.”

As much as Laura Loomer wants to be feared and loves to boast about her supposed influence within the Trump administration, outside of being able to call Trump directly, it’s hard to tell how much sway she actually holds. Indeed, with critics on both the Right and Left finding her abrasive and outspoken style off-putting (to say the least), her real impact on the President seems questionable at best. Add in her tendency toward hyperbole, her blatant narcissism, and her reputation as a well-paid Zionist, and it’s no surprise that (contrary to what the mainstream media might suggest) Trump himself keeps her at arm’s length.

Uber Driver (Not Climate Change) Charged with Setting Palisades Wildfire That Killed 12, Caused $150 Billion in Damages

Yahoo.com:

Federal authorities in Los Angeles announced on Wednesday that they have arrested a man in Florida and charged him with intentionally setting what eventually became the 2025 Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in California history.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, a former Pacific Palisades, Calif., resident who now lives in Melbourne, Fla., was arrested on Tuesday and charged with destruction of property by means of fire, the Justice Department said. He was expected to make his initial appearance on Wednesday in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

“A single person’s recklessness caused one of the worst fires Los Angeles has ever seen, resulting in death and widespread destruction in Pacific Palisades,” Bill Essayli, acting U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, said in a statement. “While we cannot bring back what victims lost, we hope this criminal case brings some measure of justice to those affected by this horrific tragedy.”

Man arrested on suspicion of starting the Pacific Palisades fire. So it was intentional? How is that possible when Democrats and the liberal media swore up and down that climate change was to blame? You know, the same climate change they use as the default explanation for every environmental disaster or crisis that happens. Indeed, it's almost like they lie on purpose.

New York AG Letitia James Indicted Over Mortgage Fraud Claims

TheGuardian.com:

A federal grand jury indicted Letitia James, the New York attorney general, for bank fraud on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Lindsey Halligan, the US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, personally presented the case to the grand jury on Thursday, the person said. US attorneys do not typically present to a grand jury. Halligan was installed in the role last month after Donald Trump became frustrated with the pace of investigations against his rivals.

The move is the president’s latest effort to weaponize the Department of Justice to punish political rivals. It comes two weeks after Halligan secured charges against James Comey, the former FBI director. Career prosecutors prepared a memo in that case outlining why charges were not warranted. Comey pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.

Once Trump was re-elected last year, the only question was when this would happen, not if. And really, why not? Whatever you think of Tish James, she literally ran for office on a promise to “Get Trump.” Since taking the AG office, she's tried to imprison him and bankrupt him, all while wearing that infamous smug grin. That said, the fact that mainstream outlets continue to frame this as Trump “going after his political opponents,” without acknowledging what Democrats did to him over four years under Joe Biden, just proves once again how deeply biased the mainstream media is.

Hamas Chief Declares War in Gaza Over, Says Terror Group Confident in Trump-Brokered Cease-Fire

NYPost.com:

Exiled Hamas chief Khalil Al-Hayya declared Thursday the war in Gaza has ended after the terror group received assurances from the US and other nations about the impending cease-fire deal brokered by President Trump.

Al-Hayya delivered the long-awaited message as the Israel and the Palestinian terror group signed an agreement to stop the fighting and allow the remaining Israeli hostages to be released.

The Hamas leader said his side has received guarantees from the US, Arab mediators and Turkey that the bloody war has come to a permanent conclusion.

Five things can be true at once: First, Kamala Harris never would’ve been able to pull this off. Second, liberals and the usual TDS sufferers will twist themselves into knots before giving Trump any credit for a cease-fire. Third, this war isn’t over until Israel fully withdraws its troops. Fourth, Trump clearly has his eyes set on that Nobel Peace Prize. And finally, Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal who deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison.
