Step right up to the most crooked game Washington ever played: FISA fraud checkers by the heart of the Obama-era Department of Justice and FBI.

Every player tossed aside the rulebook and signed their names to one of America’s largest surveillance scams. Little did Obama and his operatives know, they were playing checkers as Trump played chess.

I hope Lisa Page and Peter Strzok saved up that money Biden gave them from the bogus lawsuit, because they may need it to pay their attorneys.

What do we know?

For starters, all four Carter Page warrants according to the new and improved DOJ reports were illegal. Intentional signatures from the “best and brightest” of Obama’s hit squads who knew exactly what they were doing.

The Fatally Flawed FISA Warrants

The Department of Justice admitted all four FISA warrants on Carter Page were obtained illegally. That means every renewal was knowingly pushed through without proper foundation. And every name on those applications stamped their approval—fully aware the infamous dossier was the real catalyst. Andrew McCabe, fiction-writer-in-chief, summed it up best:

“No dossier, no FISA warrants.”

In other words, if Hillary’s paid opposition research wasn’t there, none of this would have happened.

DOJ/FBI: Signing Their Own Failure

Let’s roll out the red carpet for the DOJ and FBI officials who put pen to paper:

  • Sally Yates: As Obama’s Deputy Attorney General, Yates helped kick off the circus by signing the first (January 2017) warrant—despite doubts about its validity. Her actions brought partisan fire to federal law enforcement.
  • Dana Boente: Acting Deputy AG and chief FISA rubber-stamper, Boente signed renewals knowing the underlying claims were questionable at best, actively ignoring evidence refuting the narrative. Afterward, Boente transitioned into other top legal counsel roles—just in time to advise the Mueller operation.
  • James Comey: The man already under indictment spotlight, Comey authorized the original and renewed warrants, brushing aside internal warnings about credibility.
  • Andrew McCabe: FBI Deputy Director, and perhaps the most candid bureaucrat in D.C.—even admitting publicly the entire surveillance scheme rested on the now-debunked Steele Dossier.
  • Rod Rosenstein: The supposed grown-up in the room, Rosenstein signed off on later renewals (May and June 2017) with full knowledge that the original application was fraudulent. In a plot twist, Rosenstein later appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel—setting off the “Trump-Russia Collusion” chase.

Each of these DOJ and FBI figures not only approved illegal applications but also continued pushing renewals as new evidence emerged that debunked their original predicates, according to sources tracking FISA scandal timelines.


Judges Shuffling the Deck

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) exists to protect citizens from overreaching government snooping. In the Page fiasco, its gatekeepers did the opposite:

  • Judge Rosemary Collyer: As the court’s presiding judge, Collyer signed off despite significant holes in the application materials.
  • Judge Raymond Dearie: Approving extensions and reviewed filings without proper skepticism.
  • Judge James Conway: Also counted among FISC rubber-stampers on renewals.
  • Judge Michael Mosman: Approved multiple warrants even after controversy mounted.

The judges could have questioned the logic, demanded further documentation, or refused signatures, but instead, their acquiescence gave the DOJ carte blanche to continue illegal surveillance. Disclosures since have shown the court itself was misled about the integrity of the facts presented—a chilling reminder that judicial oversight failed spectacularly.


How the Dossier Tied It Together

At the heart of it all: the infamous Steele Dossier, funded by Clinton allies and pumped into the system via Fusion GPS. Without it, said McCabe, “there would have been no FISA warrant.” The Page v. Comey appellate saga revealed that FISA-based surveillance continued with barely a fig leaf of probable cause.

The DOJ and FBI players all knew about the Dossier’s dubious provenance, yet raced to secure wiretaps on a Trump associate. The underlying information was driven by political desperation, not legitimate intelligence. Instead of halting the process, these agencies doubled down—renewing warrants and hiding key facts from other government components and the public.


Interlocking Careers and Complicity

If this checkers game seems rigged, that’s because it was. The main characters moved in and out of top posts, ensuring self-preservation:

  • Boente shifts from acting DAG to Mueller probe lead, then becomes FBI chief legal counsel.
  • Rosenstein leaves DOJ after his FISA role, but not before enabling Mueller’s endless witch hunt.
  • Yates, lauded as a “principled resister,” was in fact an early enabler of anti-Trump abuses.
  • McCabe’s leaked memos and admissions are still reverberating, confirming the central role of the dossier.
  • Judges who approved the warrants are still on the bench—few consequences, even after admissions of error.

Each officeholder played their part to enable, extend, and obscure illegal wiretapping—in violation of the Fourth Amendment, as later court reviews noted. Meanwhile, conservatives and Trump supporters battling to expose this corruption were smeared as conspiracy theorists by the very same media that now admits the surveillance was baseless.

The Endgame: Admission and Accountability

For years, the DOJ, FBI, and the FISC shielded their own from any consequences, allowing these power players to slide into other influential jobs. Only under relentless pressure did the DOJ finally admit what millions already knew: all four FISA warrants issued were illegal. Yet, as exposure grows, true accountability still stalls.

The classic playbook: spray the media with leaks, politicize the findings, and when cornered, admit “mistakes were made”—but never apologize or offer restitution. The saga remains a blistering indictment of Deep State arrogance, and of a court system that failed to do its job when it mattered most.

Bankrupt them

Washington’s crooked checkers game didn’t just bend the rules—it threw out ethics for expediency and politics. Every signature was a move toward more surveillance, less transparency, and manufactured “Russia collusion” drama. While Comey now most likely faces a day in court, the rest of the cast should start stocking up their nuts for winter.

Frankly, part of me doesn’t care about guilt or innocence, and here’s why. First, I know enough by now to know they are all guilty. Second, I want them all bankrupted, just as they tried to do to Trump, General Flynn, Rudy Giuliani, and many others.

Steve Bannon WENT OFF today on The War Room after corrupt former FBI Director James Comey was given the white glove treatment for his arraignment on Wednesday.
Comey was given special treatment for his arraignment. Comey slipped in the back door, out of sight from cameras. The Trump DOJ allowed him this preferential treatment despite the fact that he was charged with two felony charges.

Comey’s Perp Walk


By: Kevin Jackson | October 8, 2025

Read more at https://theblacksphere.net/2025/10/comeys-perp-walk/

For years, James Comey strutted around Washington like the patron saint of integrity — a man who believed the FBI was one sermon short of a church.

He was the tall, sanctimonious lawman who treated press conferences like revival meetings, and himself like the high priest of righteousness. But that halo’s slipping faster than Joe Biden’s memory, because this Thursday, the former FBI Director — the one who played both puppet master and political hitman in the great anti-Trump crusade — is finally set to be arraigned in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Let that sink in. The man who orchestrated the Russia hoax, spied on Americans, and helped turn the FBI into a political protection racket for the Clintons is now facing criminal charges for lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The irony is so thick, you could spread it on toast.

Comey, of course, insists he’s innocent — because nothing screams innocence quite like pre-recording a “trust me” video before your arraignment. In that clip, he swore he’d “done nothing wrong,” which, by Leftist translation, means “guilty as hell.” He’s expected to show up voluntarily, plead not guilty, and flash the smug grin of a man who still thinks he’s auditioning for MSNBC.

But here’s the tragicomedy of it all: these charges barely scratch the surface of his crimes. It’s like arresting a mob boss for jaywalking. For decades, Comey was the muscle behind the elite’s protection racket, shielding political royalty like the Clintons while turning the FBI into the enforcement arm of the DNC. Ordinary Americans went to jail for less than what Comey deleted over brunch.

Comey didn’t just bend the rules — he broke them, gift-wrapped them, and handed them to the swamp with a wink. He ran a rogue agency that spied on the Trump campaign using bogus FISA warrants, fabricated “intel,” and a media network that acted more like accomplices than journalists. Names like Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page should be carved on the same granite of infamy — the bureaucratic Mount Rushmore of deceit.

But Comey wasn’t the mastermind; he was the middle manager.

The real orders, as most of us suspect, came from higher up — Barack Obama, with perhaps a memo or two approved by the Clintons. That’s how Washington works. The people at the top don’t get their hands dirty; they hire someone like Comey to do it for them. And for years, he played that role perfectly — the bureaucratic button man in a Brooks Brothers suit.

So when word hit that Comey would face arraignment, conservatives didn’t celebrate — we exhaled. It’s justice long overdue, like finally seeing the crooked referee tossed out of the game. And while rumors swirl about whether he’ll be perp-walked, I think we all know the right answer: absolutely, yes. This is the man who greenlit dawn raids on Trump allies, sending armored FBI teams to bust down the doors of Roger Stone and Paul Manafort while CNN conveniently “just happened” to be there. If there’s anyone who deserves a flashbulb frenzy and an orange jumpsuit cameo, it’s James “Higher Loyalty” Comey.

Independent journalist Catherine Herridge recently noted that perp walks are rare, but in this case, she said, Comey “could be an exception.” Her understatement should win an award. The American people have waited eight years to see an FBI director in cuffs — a visual confirmation that the elite bubble finally popped.

Herridge also observed that Comey “played an outsized role in undermining public confidence in the FBI and Justice Department, the same institutions he was charged with protecting.” That’s putting it gently. Comey didn’t just undermine confidence; he torched it, buried the ashes, and sold the plot to CNN.

The Left will, of course, pretend to rally around him.

They’ll claim this is a “dangerous precedent,” that Trump’s Justice Department is weaponizing power. These are the same people who cheered when Trump’s allies were frog-marched for process crimes. Remember Roger Stone? They sent half of Quantico after him like he was El Chapo. So, forgive us if we’d like a little symmetry — poetic justice with flashing lights.

But even the Left’s loyalty has an expiration date. Comey won’t be their darling for long. He’s damaged goods, a burned asset. Once his usefulness runs out, they’ll toss him overboard faster than CNN drops a failed host. Think of Jimmy Kimmel’s return from suspension — he came back to thunderous applause and 6.2 million viewers, then watched his audience collapse days later. Comey’s trajectory will be the same: a brief, loud defense from the Left, followed by the quiet hum of abandonment once he starts singing to save himself. And believe me, this man will sing like a gospel choir at Sunday service.

The journey to get here wasn’t easy. The Left nearly pulled off their usual trick — running out the clock.

The statute of limitations on Comey’s crimes was set to expire, and they figured one more stolen election would bury the evidence for good. But fate had other plans. When U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert hesitated to prosecute, the administration replaced him with Lindsey Halligan — a prosecutor who actually believed in accountability. According to reports, Siebert didn’t want to touch Comey’s case, claiming “insufficient evidence.” Translation: “I like my Georgetown cocktail parties.”

Once Halligan took over, the dominoes began to fall. And like clockwork, the media started spinning. MSNBC, still operating as a “clown factory of misinformation,” tried to discredit the new leadership. Former Trump official Kash Patel fired back, reminding them that “in this FBI, follow the chain of command or get relieved.” Translation: play ball or get benched.

The indictment itself focuses on Comey’s 2020 Senate testimony, where he claimed under oath that he never authorized FBI personnel to act as anonymous sources in news stories. The problem is that prosecutors say they can prove he did exactly that — by directing law professor Daniel Richman to leak classified details of his meetings with Trump to the media. Comey thought he was being clever, laundering leaks through a “private citizen.” But Richman’s testimony backfired. He told investigators that Comey “explicitly told him not to communicate with the media” on certain topics, directly undercutting the prosecution’s case.

Understand that the new and improved DOJ would never go to court without its ducks in a row. They either can prove that Richman perjured himself, or they have additional evidence against Comey.

Understand that many witnesses recant their testimony against the Left, when they believe the Left are in power. But now that the veil of invincibility has been lifted, many whistleblowers are stepping up again.

And optics matter.

If Comey has to walk into court under flashing lights, the point’s already made. He’s no longer above the law. In fact, Reuters reported that an FBI agent was relieved of duty after refusing to participate in a staged perp walk for Comey — which means there’s internal debate over whether to humiliate him publicly. My vote? Absolutely. I want to see him in handcuffs, flanked by the same agents who once dragged innocent people out of bed in front of news cameras. Karma has a wicked sense of humor.

Devin Nunes, now heading Trump’s Intelligence Advisory Board, appeared on Sunday Morning Futures to discuss the arraignment. It’s poetic justice — Nunes was the first to expose the Russia Hoax  and now he’s watching the architect of that hoax face the music. It was Nunes who gave America its first glimpse behind the curtain — the deep-state collusion between Obama-era intelligence officials, Democrats, and a willing press. His reward? Years of mockery. His vindication? Watching Comey’s smug mug as he’s processed by U.S. Marshals.

And let’s not forget Jack Smith, the man who made it his mission to destroy Trump.

We’ve since learned that Smith spied on nine Republican Senators in his obsessive pursuit of the January 6 “insurrection” narrative. His tactics make Nixon’s plumbers look like amateurs. When Smith eventually joins Comey in the defendant’s box — and he will — it’ll mark a new chapter: accountability, the sequel.

For the American people, this isn’t about revenge. It’s about restoration. We want a government that doesn’t serve itself, one where lying to Congress gets you more than a book deal and a CNN contributor gig. We want equal justice — and not the kind that only applies to conservatives. Comey’s downfall, however partial, sends that message.

If he’s perp-walked, it’ll be the most poetic image of justice since Trump’s mugshot — a visual metaphor for an era of corruption finally cornered. If he flips and starts naming names, the whole swamp might tremble. And if he escapes with a technical acquittal, fine — the stain of exposure will linger longer than any sentence.

So yes, James Comey may walk into court a free man. But he’ll walk out something worse: irrelevant. His moral superiority act is over. The “higher loyalty” schtick has become the punchline of a bad political joke.

Justice, like comedy, is all about timing. And for James Comey, the timing couldn’t be worse — or more perfect.

While the liberal media continues to parrot talking points blaming Republicans for the ongoing government shutdown, the truth about the Democrats’ shocking spending demands is finally breaking through to the American people. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) has been a courageous voice cutting through the left’s disinformation campaign, boldly detailing the absurd and wasteful foreign projects that Chuck Schumer and his caerus are holding the American government hostage to fund.

In a powerful and revealing list, Senator Kennedy exposed the sheer insanity of the far-left’s priorities, which are being placed ahead of the needs of hardworking American taxpayers. The items that Democrats are demanding be reinstated before they agree to reopen the government are not just wasteful; they are a slap in the face to fiscal responsibility and common sense. These outrageous demands include a staggering; 

  • “$3.6 million for cooking and dance workshops for male prostitutes in Haiti” 
  • “over $4.2 million for LGBTQ projects in the Western Balkans and Uganda.”
  • “$6 million to subsidize Palestinian media outlets”
  • “$3 million for circumcision and vasectomies in Zambia.” 
  • “more than $833,000 for transgender people in Nepal” 
  • “$500,000 to purchase electric buses in Rwanda,” 
  • “$300,000 to sponsor a pride parade in Lesotho.” 

This is the radical agenda that Chuck Schumer has chosen to shut down the government for, proving that the Democratic Party is entirely controlled by its extreme socialist wing.

Appearing on Fox Business with host Larry Kudlow, Senator Kennedy laid out his prediction for how this manufactured crisis will ultimately end, revealing the raw political calculus behind Schumer’s actions. Kennedy stated, “I know him well. This shutdown is not about policy. It’s about politics.” He went on to explain the Minority Leader’s futile motives, saying, “He is trying to get the loon wing, the socialist wing of the Democratic Party, which is in control, to love him. And they will never love him.“”

Kennedy correctly argued that Schumer would be better off abandoning this political theater, noting he should be “doing what he did back in March and just calling it like he saw it and keeping government open.” Instead, Schumer is making an impossible ultimatum, which Kennedy summarized as, “’We’re going to keep government shut down until you Republicans and President Trump give the Democrats $1.5 trillion,’ and they’re going to tell us how to spend it.”

The Louisiana Senator predicts that the shutdown will only end when Chuck Schumer is forced to orchestrate a face-saving retreat. Kennedy told Kudlow, “It will end eventually, when Senator Schumer goes to six or eight of his members and Democrats and says, ‘Do me a favor. Vote to open it back up. I may have to criticize you. I’m not going to vote with you, but I need a way out of this. I need an off-ramp.’” He concluded that this is the inevitable outcome, warning, “But he’s got to be careful because if it looks contrived, he’s blown it. And he can’t look like he’s having a mutiny. But that’s how we’ll open back.” This entire crisis underscores the necessity of President Donald Trump’s strong stance against out-of-control spending and his commitment to putting America’s interests first.

Trump and Hegseth Military Meeting: Encouraging Strong Warrior Spirit, Rejecting Woke and DEI

By Antonio Graceffo – The Gateway Pundit – Oct 1, 2025

“From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting, preparing for war and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit not because we want war, no one here wants war, but it’s because we love peace…Our number one job, of course, is to be strong so that we can prevent war in the first place.” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

On September 30, 2025, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed hundreds of generals and flag officers, outlining a sweeping transformation of the U.S. military. The two leaders presented a united vision for restoring a warfighting culture built on merit, discipline, and strength.

Pritzker said that Texas National Guard troops should, ‘stay the hell out of Illinois.’

Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor any attempted use of city property for immigration enforcement. Chicago taxpayers will fund a city-wide distribution of “Know Your Rights” materials for employees, tenants, and security staff, training them to deal with federal agents wishing to use city property.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced the state filed a lawsuit Monday seeking a temporary restraining order to block President Donald Trump from using Illinois and Texas National Guard troops to manage crime in Chicago.

“Illinois is going to use every lever at our disposal to resist this power grab and get (DHS Sec. Kristi) Noem’s thugs hell out of Chicago,” Pritzker said in a Monday afternoon press conference. He also said several times that Texas troops should, “stay the hell out of Illinois.”

Over the weekend, Oct. 4, Border Patrol agents were conducting a patrol in Chicago when their vehicle was rammed by other vehicles and they were boxed in by 10 cars, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statement.

“The officers exited their trapped vehicle, when a suspect tried to run them over, forcing the officers to fire defensively,” the statement said. “One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fired defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.”  

An angry crowd gathered around ICE agents and instead of offering back up assistance, Chicago Police offers on the scene left, according to DHS, and those on the way were instructed to stage blocks away, leaving ICE on its own, according to reporting from FOX News.  

This incident alone underscores how out of control crime is in Chicago. It is not every city where goons feel comfortable ramming a law enforcement vehicle and surrounding it. There were 22 shootings in Chicago over the weekend. Yet local officials insisted that crime is down, and federal help is not wanted or needed.

During the press conference, Johnson spoke of people showing up to “organize, to build the resistance.”

“It’s going to take everything, litigation, executive orders, legislation, and I believe, most importantly, the people of this city and county, the state, and throughout the country, pushing back against tyranny,” Johnson said.  

Reporters asked provocative questions such as what measures officials are willing to take if they don’t win in court, and are they calling for a civil war?

Pritzker said the federal government is “creating an environment in which they’re inciting people to do something more than just peacefully protest.” And he fearmongered, claiming federal officials were “firing at people who are doing nothing more than yelling” and “saying what they believe, or holding signs.” He makes it sound like calm people are just standing around getting shot by the federal government, totally unprovoked, and in the same press conference people were urged to “organize” and “build a resistance” against Trump. The politicians are trying to whip the public up into a frenzy.

Pritzker planned on going to court before Trump called up the National Guard. His legal team has been working, “for weeks,” he said, writing the case that was filed Monday, in anticipation of the arrival of federal troops.

Pritzker is also upset that the U.S. Border Patrol has been sent to the city.

“They have declared that the border is at the shores of Lake Michigan. That is why they’re allowed to operate now, or at least why they’re being told they’re allowed to operate in the city of Chicago. That doesn’t seem right to me,” Pritzker said. He said as far as he knows, the border is on the other side of Lake Michigan.

Is anybody surprised to learn that Jack Smith is a criminal?

That’s like being shocked to find out a Kardashian staged a photo op. The only real mystery here is how this guy keeps getting taxpayer-funded badges to break laws he’s supposed to enforce.

According to a Newsbreak report, former Special Counsel Jack Smith allegedly authorized surveillance on nearly a dozen Republican senators during his “investigation” into January 6. The DOJ document—discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel—details a scheme dubbed “Operation Arctic Frost.” Cute name. Sounds like a limited-edition Slurpee flavor, except this one’s spiked with espionage and arrogance.

Smith allegedly tracked private communications and phone calls from Senators Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, Cynthia Lummis, Bill Hagerty, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, and Congressman Mike Kelly. That’s not an investigation — that’s political reconnaissance. It’s like the DOJ decided to become the Democrat National Committee’s spy agency.

Now, let’s play along with their delusion.

Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that there was a legitimate reason to track Republicans’ phones. Fine. What did they find? A fantasy football league and a bunch of text messages about border security? Meanwhile, the Democrats’ phones from the J6 Committee days — poof — gone. Wiped cleaner than Hunter Biden’s laptop after a visit from the Secret Service.

And speaking of cover-ups, every key J6 Committee member got their preemptive Biden-issued “autopen pardon.” Nothing screams innocence like a co-conspirator providing “just in case” legal protection before the evidence shows up.

 Now let’s zoom out a bit. Jack Smith didn’t stumble into corruption.

He’s not a rogue operator — he’s part of the treasonous cabal that turned the DOJ into the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. His history with Trump goes back years, and every move he’s made since has had the same goal: destroy the man who refuses to bow to their Deep State altar.

Remember when Democrats called January 6 an “insurrection”? Notice how not one person has been charged with actual insurrection. It’s almost as if the government knows the word doesn’t apply when nobody’s armed, no government was overthrown, and the only thing actually destroyed was Americans’ faith in election integrity.

By now, even the most hopeless Leftist barista in a Che Guevara T-shirt knows J6 was a cover-up.

The Democrats needed a spectacle — a smoke bomb to distract from their 2020 election heist. They had to convince America that the guy who drew 60,000 people to rallies somehow lost to the guy who couldn’t draw 60 to a Zoom call. The math only works if you ignore arithmetic.

President Trump, of course, has been vindicated by time. He knows he was cheated out of a second term, but in true Trumpian fashion, he’s weaponized the waiting game. The delay allowed every corrupt actor to leave a trail of digital breadcrumbs, and now, one by one, those crumbs lead straight to Democrat doorsteps. These aren’t geniuses, folks — these are bureaucrats who think “delete” is the same as “destroy.”

The walls are closing in — but this time, on them.

Take James Comey. His indictment sent shockwaves through D.C., mostly because the Left suddenly realized their “untouchables” aren’t. The Comey domino is the first in a long line. Once he flips — and he will — the floodgates will open. Bureaucrats, aides, media operatives — the entire swamp ecosystem will start squealing like Fauci at a gain-of-function hearing.

And then there’s General Mark Milley — Mr. “I secretly called China to undermine my commander-in-chief.” Recently, even he admitted he could face court-martial for his actions. Translation: “I did it, I know I did it, and I’m praying for a plea deal.” Don’t think Milley suddenly realized this, as he’s known this for years. But like other Leftists who targeted Trump, he never thought he would get found out. After all, they had destroyed Trump, right?

The Left is cracking under its own hypocrisy.

These people spent years calling Trump a dictator while literally using intelligence agencies to spy on elected officials. And all their chest-pounding over “rule of law” and so on provided cover for their treason. Temporarily.

Jack Smith’s “Operation Arctic Frost” wasn’t just about surveillance. It was about control — about keeping tabs on anyone who might expose the truth. When the DOJ spies on sitting senators, it’s not democracy. It’s tyranny with better branding.

Ironically, every Democrat who’s ever screamed about “threats to democracy” is now defending a man who illegally tapped political opponents. These are the same people who fainted over Trump’s tweets but shrug when federal agencies behave like the Stasi. If irony were currency, Democrats would have paid off the national debt by now.

So where does this go?

My bet — the thread unravels fast. Because when corruption this deep is exposed, it never stops at the first name. Jack Smith’s downfall will trigger a cascade — DOJ officials, FBI players, even sitting politicians who thought “Arctic Frost” would stay buried. Spoiler alert: there’s no permafrost thick enough to preserve this kind of rot.

And that brings us to the political weather forecast: a deep freeze for the Left. The Uniparty’s about to get frostbite in some sensitive places. Trump isn’t just exposing the swamp — he’s forcing it to melt itself. Every time Democrats act to “save democracy,” they end up proving why it needs saving from them.

Operation Arctic Frost won’t be remembered as an investigation. It’ll be remembered as the moment the Left’s paranoia became its undoing — the day the hunters realized they’d been wiretapping their own graves.

Because when all’s said and done, you can only keep secrets so long before they start keeping you.

The Left’s biggest lie is that Biden won the 2020 election. And their next biggest lie is how they created the J6 narrative to protect the lie. Now those lies are front and center.

Comey will have lots of company soon, as new indictments come. And the names on the list will be shocking for only one reason: we finally got them.

.(Jay Jones/YouTube)

Jay Jones, Virginia’s Democratic attorney general candidate, is under fire for shocking statements that expressed a desire to kill political opponents and their young “fascist” children. Despite the violent rhetoric, Democrats like Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee in Virginia, have stood by Jones and continue to campaign for his election. Now, however, Jones is accused of making disturbing comments about the benefit of killing a few cops as a warning to others. It is unclear whether the alleged comments were made in writing (as were earlier comments), and Jones has denied them.

Virginia has become a testing ground for rage rhetoric as Democrats stand by Jones and refuse to call for his withdrawal. Spanberger herself was criticized recently for calling on supporters to “Let your rage fuel you.”

What is notable about this latest allegation is that it is coming from the very same legislator who discussed the prior statements, which Jones admitted were true.

According to the New York Post, Republican Del. Carrie Coyner told Virginia Scope on Monday, Jones used a 2020 discussion about qualified immunity to suggest that a few dead cops might be a good thing. She recounted how Jones allegedly said, “Well, maybe if a few of them died, that they would move on, not shooting people, not killing people.”

Jones denied the new allegations: “I did not say this. I have never believed and do not believe that any harm should come to law enforcement, period.”

It is unclear whether Coyner has proof of the new alleged statements.

Jones has not threatened a defamation lawsuit over the allegation. If untrue, the statement could constitute defamation as impugning Jones’s reputation and veracity as a public figure. However, as a public official, he is subject to the New York Times v. Sullivan standard and would have to show a knowing falsehood or reckless disregard for the truth on the part of Rep. Coyner.

Read more at https://pagetraveler.com/kristi-noem-blocked-from-bathroom-in-illinois-a-perfect-symbol-of-blue-state-dysfunction-video/

Sometimes, politics really does sink to bathroom-level politics — literally. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and her staff stopped by a public government building in Illinois for a quick restroom break, only to be denied entry. The Village of Broadview, which receives more than a million dollars in federal funds every year, somehow decided the best use of taxpayer-funded space was to slam the door on federal officials. If this sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is. But it’s also the perfect symbol of how Illinois leadership treats the rule of law: when they can’t win the argument, they just lock the doors.

When Politics Trumps Decency

Let’s be clear: this wasn’t a political stunt from Noem. The video shows her politely asking, “Can we use your restroom?” and the answer from inside was a blunt, “No you cannot!” Now, most Americans are taught as kids that you don’t even turn away your neighbor if they need a bathroom. But apparently, Illinois politicians think hospitality is for “photo ops” only. For Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s team, it was less about plumbing and more about posturing. Denying a public bathroom to a federal officer was their way of making a political statement — petty, childish, and embarrassing for the state.

Sanctuary State Chaos in Action

Here’s the real story: this wasn’t about bathrooms. It’s about how Illinois has tied itself into knots defending sanctuary policies while attacking federal law enforcement. The bathroom denial was just the cherry on top of a long list of dysfunction. As federal officers clashed with protesters outside a nearby ICE facility, Illinois leaders seemed more concerned about appearances than protecting communities. Pritzker blasted DHS for enforcing immigration laws, while violent protesters were throwing objects and getting arrested. In other words: block the bathrooms, ignore the riots. Welcome to Illinois.

The Message to Ordinary Americans

If they’ll block a DHS Secretary from using a restroom in a public building, what chance do ordinary Americans have? Think about it. You pay taxes to keep government offices running, and then those same offices won’t even let you in to use facilities you’re funding. It’s not just about Kristi Noem. It’s about a culture where political gamesmanship comes before common courtesy — and where citizens feel like second-class participants in their own government. For many Americans, the bathroom incident was funny on the surface but troubling underneath. It revealed a mindset: “This government isn’t here to serve you, it’s here to lecture you.”

The Hypocrisy of “Rights” Talk

Gov. Pritzker loves to lecture about “rights” and “respect,” yet his administration seems to pick and choose who deserves them. Protesters can block federal operations and even face down law enforcement with impunity, but federal officers can’t even use a restroom. That’s not equality. That’s selective outrage. And it highlights a deeper problem: Illinois politicians talk endlessly about compassion for illegal immigrants while turning their backs on law enforcement officers tasked with keeping the public safe. If that’s compassion, it comes with a strange set of rules.

Bathrooms, Borders, and Broken Priorities

It may sound silly to say that a bathroom standoff tells us something about national politics, but it does. Bathrooms are basic, universal needs — just like secure borders and safe neighborhoods. When a government denies something as basic as access to a restroom, it’s not a stretch to see how they also deny citizens the basic right to security in their communities. Illinois politicians want to control the narrative, but the bathroom incident exposed the truth: they’ve lost touch with common sense, and they’ve lost credibility with everyday Americans.

Federal vs. State: The Battle Over Authority

Illinois leadership wants to act like they’re running their own country. Pritzker accused Noem of “traumatizing families” and even said she shouldn’t “step foot inside Illinois without accountability.” That’s a strong statement for a governor who presides over one of the highest crime-ridden states in the country. The irony is hard to miss: Illinois officials are more offended by federal officers enforcing the law than by criminals terrorizing their communities. It’s almost as if they’d rather fight Washington than protect Chicago’s neighborhoods.

The Lesson for 2025

Kristi Noem’s bathroom incident isn’t just a strange headline; it’s a wake-up call about where our politics are headed. When blue-state leaders care more about scoring points than respecting basic decency, the result is a government that feels less like public service and more like private club membership. Everyday Americans see the hypocrisy, and they’re tired of it. They want leaders who prioritize safety, law, and fairness over theatrics. Whether it’s bathrooms or borders, the American people deserve better than this.

Instead of focusing on solutions, Walz is doubling down on political agendas that don’t belong anywhere near a classroom.
Minnesota’s education system is in freefall. As reading and math scores have fallen to an all-time low, Gov. Tim Walz and DFL leaders are sticking their heads in the sand and ignoring our children’s basic needs. Instead of focusing on solutions, Walz is doubling down on political agendas that don’t belong anywhere near a classroom.
A disturbing report in Alpha News revealed that Minnesota schools are racing to teach gender identity and sexual orientation to third graders. Students who are struggling with basic math, writing and reading skills are being indoctrinated by gender ideology. At the same time, they continue to fall further behind in core subjects. This is not education, this is indoctrination…READ MORE

President Trump to Meet Russ Vought to Cut ‘Political SCAM Democrat Agencies’ Following Government Shutdown: “I Can’t Believe the Radical Left Democrats Gave Me This Unprecedented Opportunity”

By Jim Hoft – The Gateway Pundit – Oct 2, 2025

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he would meet with Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, a key architect of the Project 2025 blueprint, to determine which federal agencies, deemed by Trump as “political SCAM Democrat Agencies,” should face cuts and whether those cuts will be temporary or permanent.
With Congress deadlocked and the shutdown entering its second day, the White House is pressing ahead with sweeping plans to slash government.
Trump described the impasse not as a crisis but as a chance to purge bureaucratic excesses and reshape federal power in line with conservative priorities.
Officials say the meeting with Vought will lead to mass layoffs, departmental closures, and funding freezes, according… READ MORE

I have to confess: On September 30, 2025, I was legit sweating bullets for Black folks.

Not because of some existential threat like systemic racism or killer cops—no, this was the big one. The government shutdown. According to the Democratic echo chamber, that’s when we hit peak vulnerability; like gazelles sensing a lion pride on the savanna.

We’re talking furloughs, frozen paychecks, and food stamps flickering out like a bad rom-com ending. And don’t get me started on how they’d convinced the Black Left that a cackling madman was piloting the White House, twirling his mustache while plotting our demise.

Picture this: Orange-hued villain in the Oval Office, rubbing his tiny hands together, muttering, “Mwahahaha, time to starve the minorities!” You’d think my group chat would erupt like Vesuvius.

Texts flying faster than reparations promises: “Kevin, you got canned goods? Water? MREs?”

I expected calls from cousins I haven’t seen since the last family reunion, “Bro, stock up on jerky—it’s gonna be Mad Max out here!”

Crickets. Not a single ping. No welfare checks from well-meaning white liberals (you know the type: “I saw your tweet about equity—here’s a GoFundMe for your ‘shutdown survival fund’”). No emergency soul food drop-offs from the church ladies, armed with Tupperware full of collards and cornbread, whispering prayers over the mac ‘n’ cheese. 

The president? Stone-cold unbothered.

But hey, Democrats have branded him “racist incarnate,” so why would he lift a finger? This shutdown was his golden ticket, right? The perfect storm to cull the herd—starting with us, the usual suspects. Bonus points if a few brown folks or the trans community caught stray bullets in the fiscal frenzy. Collateral damage in the war on wokeness.

I could almost hear the evil laughter echoing from Mar-a-Lago.

Fast-forward to the news ticker: “T-minus two hours till shutdown Armageddon.”

I’m pacing my living room like a death row inmate eyeing the gurney. Heart pounding, palms sweaty. CNN’s got the drama dialed to eleven, with Anderson Cooper in a turtleneck, counting down like it’s Y2K meets New Year’s Eve in Times Square. “Three… two… one… Happy freakin’ Shutdown, America! Ball drop… or should we say, budget drop?”

Exhaustion hit harder than the hysteria.

I conked out on the couch, visions of empty EBT cards dancing in my head. While I snoozed, the axe fell—silent as a ninja, slicker than a politician’s promise. It crept in like that uncle who shows up uninvited to Thanksgiving, eats all the turkey, and ghosts before dishes.

Morning light filters in. I stir, groggy, cursing under my breath because—plot twist—Salma Hayek’s villa next door is throwing another beach bash. Bikinis, bronzer, the works. Jealousy surges, but hey, priorities. I shuffle to the kitchen, brew some coffee strong enough to wake the dead (or at least me), and fire up my phone. No alerts. No “RIP Black America” headlines. No frantic voicemails from Joy Reid demanding I march on D.C. with a pitchfork and a protest sign.

As my grandma used to chide, “Black folks gon’ be late to they own damn funerals.”

Was I already six feet under? Had the reaper skipped my house? Because I’m alive!

We did it, y’all—Black America survived the Shutdown Passover. Did some unsung hero daub lamb’s blood on my doorframe overnight? Or was it the sheer audacity of our existence that warded off the plague? Buoyed by this miracle, I launch a reconnaissance mission. Time to poll the tribe. Starting low-stakes: the folks I wouldn’t mind the reaper harvesting.

Al Sharpton? Still preaching from his pulpit of perpetual grievance—check. Joy Reid? Tweeting up a storm about “white supremacy’s latest hit job”—alive and annoying. Whoopi Goldberg? Dropping hot takes on The View like confetti at a pity party—damn it, woman, even you made it? The undefeated trio of outrage intact.

Trump’s master plan had been foiled harder than a heist in a Scooby-Doo episode.

Hopeful, I scan my inner circle.

Beautiful white wife? Check. Mulatto 18-year-old spawn? Burrowed in his pigsty of a bedroom, headphones blasting drill beats, dreaming of TikTok fame—check. Zero disruptions.

My 401(k) isn’t hemorrhaging; the fridge is stocked with beyond Vienna sausages and pimento cheese. Hell, even the dog’s still getting fed on the regular.

But wait—weren’t we promised biblical fallout? The Left’s doomsayers swore 100,000 federal drones would quit en masse if the continuing resolution tanked. As Maury Povich would boom after strapping Democrats to a polygraph, “That was a lie!” The results are in!” Not a single resignation.

Imagine the glow-up: Bureaucrats vanishing like vampires at dawn, unleashing a productivity tsunami. No more red-tape wizards burying innovation under 500-page regs. We’d have bridges built, not just studied to death. Instead, these pension-padded zombies shamble on, a eternal threat to efficiency.

Pundits wailed that 750,000 bureaucrats in total would feel the squeeze. I chuckled into my coffee. “Let’s hope!”

Scrolling deeper, the patterns emerge like a bad tattoo. Every Chicken Little cluck from the blue brigade? Busted.

No mass exodus of civil servants. No breadlines snaking through Harlem. No viral videos of grandmas bartering dentures for diapers. Just… normalcy. Boring, blessed normalcy. The stock market yawned. Uber Eats delivered on time. Even my Amazon Prime subscription didn’t glitch—though, in retrospect, maybe Bezos had a secret bunker for the packages.

So here I am, alive and kicking, toasting to the farce. Grateful doesn’t cover it; I’m downright giddy. This anxiety rollercoaster? Last ride, hopefully.

No more midnight sweats over fiscal cliffs. No more doom-scrolling MSNBC marathons. Just the quiet thrill of being right—again—about the hype machine grinding its gears for nothing.

All this manufactured meltdown, mind you, because Democrats drew their line in the sand not for us, not for veterans or vets’ hospitals, but for extra perks for illegals. Billions in backdoor bailouts, disguised as “humanity.” While American families—Black, white, every shade—hold the bag. Priorities, am I right? In the end, the shutdown wasn’t a scythe; it was a snooze button on the outrage alarm. We survived not by divine intervention, but by the simple truth: Sometimes, the sky doesn’t fall. It just… hangs there, mocking the forecasters.

EPIC! White House Trolls Press and Hakeem Jeffries by Playing Sombrero Meme in Briefing Room (VIDEO)

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump posted a couple of memes recently, which depict Jeffries in a cartoonized mustache and wearing a Sombrero hat after he and Schumer met with Trump at the White House.
Trump was mocking the Democratic Party’s obsession with illegal immigration as a voter-replacement scheme.

Midshipmen at the United States Merchant Marine Academy stand in front of the ‘Christ on the Water’ painting, which was restored to a place of prominence at Wiley Hall in a Sept. 29, 2025 ceremony. | United States Department of Transportation

A painting of Jesus Christ has been restored to a place of prominence at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, prompting celebration from the Trump administration and outcry from a secular advocacy group. 

The U.S. Department of Transportation announced on Monday that the “Christ on the Water” painting, which hung at Wiley Hall at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy for nearly 80 years before being relocated to a flood-prone basement in 2023, has been restored to its former location.

An unveiling ceremony was held on Monday to celebrate the restoration of the painting.

“Burying this historic painting in the basement wasn’t just a mistake — it was an insult to the faith and legacy of service that built this Academy and our nation,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy. “By restoring ‘Christ on the Water’ to its rightful place, we sent a clear message to our midshipmen: their Christian faith is a virtue to be proud of, not something to be censored.” 

USMMA Acting Superintendent Tony Ceraolo, who took over after USMMA Superintendent Vice Admiral Joanna Nunan stepped down in June, thanked Duffy for “his continued support of our Academy and the midshipmen who call this place home.” He described the painting, which depicts Jesus Christ guiding sailors through stormy seas, as “a piece of the Academy’s cultural and historical legacy” that honors “the past and the resilience of those who came before us.”

“This painting is about history, remembrance, and hope ensuring that the story of our midshipmen and their wartime experiences remain part of our shared institutional memory,” he added. Duffy first called for the artwork to be returned to its former location at the institution’s annual Battle Standard Dinner in April. 

The painting was moved from Wiley Hall during Nunan’s tenure as head of the institution in response to pressure from Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, which advocates for a strict separation of church and state. 

Following Nunan’s resignation, the painting was brought up from the basement last month. Duffy continued efforts to restore the artwork to its former location, culminating in Monday’s ceremony. While the Trump administration and leadership of the USMMA cheered the relocation of the painting, Weinstein issued a scathing statement Monday condemning the development, alleging it is a mark of “Christian nationalism.”

“Transportation Secretary and lickspittle Christian nationalist tRump [sic] sycophant Sean Duffy’s effectuating of the illicit, unethical, and iniquitous return of the giant Jesus painting at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy to its original unconstitutional place of disgusting Christian supremacist exhibitionism in an ornate, mandatory Academy meeting room is completely cowardly, atrocious, and vindictive,” he proclaimed. 

“Duffy is making sure to brand the Academy as conquered Christian nationalist territory. All others are not wanted and need not apply. He has disgracefully clothed the all-too-willing U.S. Merchant Marine Academy with his fundamentalist Christian extremist thuggery, stinking nonsecular creed, and unbridled sectarian fundamentalist Christian conceit.”

Weinstein indicated that the Military Religious Freedom Foundation is considering “aggressive federal litigation.”

Andrew McCabe Is Running from Comey Unfortunately It’s Too Late

By Jim Hoft – JoeHoft.com – Sept 29,2025

It’s too late for Andrew McCabe, he’s in deep trouble. No sense trying to separate yourself from Comey now, Andy.
Andrew McCabe was recently on CNN and he appeared to be trying to separate himself from Jim Comey.
Andrew McCabe must be scared after Comey was arrested. Unfortunately for him, there was a report put together of his wrongdoings while he was conspiring with Comey to remove President Trump from office.

“I Think We’re Headed to a Shutdown” – Vance SLAMS Schumer, Democrats For Trying to Hold Americans Hostage to Fund Healthcare for Illegal Aliens (VIDEO)

By Cristina Laila – The Gateway Pundit – Sept 29, 2025

Top Democrat and Republican lawmakers met with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance to discuss a stopgap bill that will avert a government shutdown.
Two stopgap bills have stalled in the Senate over the last two weeks because Democrats are blocking President Trump’s agenda.
The government will shut down on Wednesday because the Democrats are seeking $1.5 trillion in spending that will fund healthcare for illegal aliens and sex reassignment surgery for children.
Democrat Minority Leader Chuck Schumer came out of the meeting on Monday claiming he tried to guilt-trip President Trump by bringing up a child with cancer.
“I told him how I met a mother who was crying because her daughter has cancer…and what has happened with healthcare with what they have done, she’s gonna watch her daughter suffer and maybe die. And he seemed to understand the magnitude of this crisis,” Schumer said… READ MORE

Below is my column in the Hill on the rise of rage politics. There was barely a respite from the rage rhetoric after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the sniper attack on the ICE facility. Gov. Gavin Newsom is back this week to calling his opponents “fascists” while other Democratic politicians are back to calling ICE “fascists.”

Here is the column:

“Let your rage fuel you.” Those words from Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger captured what I have called “rage politics” in America.

Across the country, politicians and pundits are fueling rage, encouraging voters to embrace it. If you turn on the television, you would think that Darth Sidious had taken over: “Give in to your anger. With each passing moment, you grow stronger.”

I do not think for a second that Spanberger supports violence. She was sharing with voters the “sage advice” of her mother, which she said she has applied in her political career. However, the anger is all around us.

Recently, I debated Harvard Law Professor Michael Klarman, who declared, “I am very angry” and “I am enraged.” In denouncing ICE as “thugs” and saying Trump supporters are “fascists,” Klarman explained that the rage had a purpose: “to shake people out of their insomnia.”

Rage, however, comes at a cost in politics. I recently wrote a book about rage and free speech, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.” It discusses our history of rage politics and how it has led to violence and crackdowns. Rage gives people a license to say and do things that they would not otherwise say or do. It is addictive, it is contagious, and it is dangerous.

We are seeing the result of rage rhetoric all around us. That includes the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the sniper attack on ICE agents in Texas this week, in addition to violent protests around the country. Rage allows you to deny the humanity of those you disagree with. Recently, two sisters were caught on video destroying a memorial to Kirk. Kerri and Kaylee Rollo were later arrested. However, they immediately opened a GoFundMe site to call for donations for “fighting fascism” and Kaylee wrote “my sibling was fired from her job.” Hundreds of donors gave the sisters thousands of dollars as a reward for the latest such attack on a Kirk memorial.

For many months, some of us have warned that violent rhetoric was crossing over into political violence. Democratic politicians have spent months ratcheting up the rhetoric against ICE agents, who have suffered more than a 1,000 percent increase in attacks, including the recent sniper attack.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), the day before that attack, signed a law that purports to bar ICE agents from wearing masks in California. He openly mocked them, asking, “What are you afraid of?

Joshua Jahn answered that question the following day in Texas when he fired at ICE personnel, only to shoot three of their detainees.

Previously, Newsom had warned voters that Trump was building ICE into a personal army that might be used to suppress voting in the upcoming midterm elections. “Do you think ICE is not going to show up around voting and polling booths to chill participation?” he said.

Others added to the rage rhetoric by declaring the impending death of democracy and lashing out at ICE. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who has used violent rhetoric in the past, declared that ICE agents were acting like “slave patrols” in hunting down immigrants in the streets.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) used a commencement address to denounce Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets. They’re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons… just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared.”

Others, like Boston Mayor Michele Wu,  echoed the claims that ICE personnel are “Nazis” and called ICE Trump’s “secret police.”

The rage rhetoric (and claims of a fascist takeover) has been adopted by a wide range of Democratic politicians, often using the same catchphrases of an “authoritarian playbook.” In our debate, Professor Klarman warned that this was all “authoritarianism rooted in old-fashioned white supremacy.”

As discussed in my book, politicians and pundits have long sought to ride the wave of rage into power or influence. Rage is a powerful narcotic. The problem is when it becomes an addiction. There is always a certain percentage of the population that will believe such hyperbolic claims.

Those are the people who end up trying to kill jurists like Justice Brett Kavanaugh or politicians like Trump. It was also seen in the assassination of Democratic politicians earlier this year in Minnesota.

With the recent assassination and attacks on ICE, some are expressing regret. One of the most telling was Hillary Clinton on MSNBC, who said that we should “stop demonizing each other” while blaming “the right” for most of the hate. It was a curious call from a woman who called Trump supporters “deplorables” and suggested that they should collectively be forced into “deprogramming” as a cult. Just before the interview, Clinton had embraced the “fascism” mantra and, during the interview, she went right back to attacking Republicans.

new poll shows that 71 percent view political violence as a serious problem, but the rage rhetoric continues unabated.

The perfunctory calls for lowering the temperature after the latest shooting are unlikely to last. Key figures in public life keep injecting rage directly into the veins of American politics. It is hard to go “cold turkey” in breaking that addiction, but you first have to want to do so. There is no indication that our rage-addicts are anywhere near a step-program for recovery. If history is any measure, this fever will only break when voters clearly reject the politics of rage.

Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University. He is the author of the bestselling book “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”

A Sunday Worship Service Turned Into Tragedy

A quiet Sunday morning turned into chaos when a gunman drove his vehicle through the front doors of a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, opening fire on worshippers and setting the building ablaze. Authorities confirmed that at least four people are dead, and 10 others were injured, several critically.

The suspect, identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford of Burton, Michigan, was shot and killed in a gunfight with responding officers. Police believe Sanford acted alone.

What We Know About the Attack

The violence began around 10:25 a.m. as the congregation gathered for its sacrament service. Sanford allegedly rammed his vehicle into the sanctuary entrance, then opened fire with what police described as an assault-style rifle. Moments later, flames erupted inside the building, quickly spreading through the church and trapping some congregants.

“Ten gunshot victims have been transported to local hospitals at this time, including one who has been deceased,” said Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye. Fire officials added that additional victims may be found as the burned structure is searched.

Suspect Background

Fox 2 Detroit reported Sanford was a U.S. Marine veteran who served in Iraq. He lived in Burton with his wife and child. Investigators are currently searching Sanford’s home and digital records to determine motive.

During the investigation, authorities discovered three improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in his vehicle, prompting the deployment of bomb squads and robots.

Federal Response

The FBI and ATF are leading the federal investigation. More than 100 federal agents have been deployed to assist state and local law enforcement. Search warrants have been executed at Sanford’s residence, and officials are reviewing his cell phone and other devices for evidence.

National Leaders React

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, calling the attack a “targeted assault on Christians” and vowing federal support.

“This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America. The suspect is dead, but there is still a lot to learn. In the meantime, PRAY for the victims, and their families. THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!” Trump wrote.

Vice President JD Vance echoed the sentiment, calling it an “awful situation” and asking for prayers for victims and first responders.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the shooting as “heartbreaking and chilling,” while confirming FBI and ATF agents were on scene.

Church Statement

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement calling the shooting a “tragic act of violence.”

“During Sunday worship services a gunman opened fire, and early reports indicate that multiple individuals were injured. We ask for cooperation with local authorities as details become available,” the statement read.

The church expressed gratitude for emergency responders and said it was “deeply grateful for the outpouring of prayers and concern from so many people around the world.”

Community Response

Video from the scene showed dark smoke billowing into the sky, dozens of fire trucks, and emergency personnel rushing gurneys toward the church. Local hospitals confirmed they were treating victims, with some in critical condition.

Striking hospital staff even left picket lines to assist in treating victims, highlighting the community’s swift response.

Still Under Investigation

Authorities have not released a motive. They continue to search the fire-damaged church for possible additional victims and evidence. Officials warned that the scope of the tragedy may grow as the investigation unfolds.

For now, a Michigan community is left in shock, mourning lives lost in what should have been a peaceful place of worship.

Comey, FBI, Investigation, #TeamKJ, #KevinJackson

Imagine standing by the reflecting pool in D.C., watching the city’s elite congratulating themselves for their “service” while duplicitously ignoring their own mountains of scandal.

On the surface, the swamp looks serene, but beneath the waterline, the biggest rats have been paddling for their lives. Now, one of their towering rodents, James Comey, faces his own reckoning. Thanks to an overt statement by President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi finally had to act on the criminality of James Comey (and soon many others).

James “I don’t know her intent” Comey was finally indicted by a federal grand jury today. He was indicted on charges of making a false statement, as well as another for obstruction.

No one is above the law. Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on in a post on social platform X.

The president took to his social media platform over the weekend to issue a direct call to Bondi for an indictment of Comey, alongside other perceived political enemies of the president. And while the Left try to spin this as Trump interference, they know the indictment is pure justice.

President Trump pushed the issue for two reasons, the statute of limitations and holdovers who didn’t want to actually do their jobs. Specifically, Erik Siebert, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia who stepped down rather than bring charges against another Trump hater, specifically New York Attorney General Letitia James. Despite a mountain of evident, Siebert declared that there was not enough evidence in the case to support allegations of mortgage fraud.

He was also overseeing the Comey case, so we know how that would have ended up. Now the case has been handed over to Lindsey Halligan, who was tapped as an interim replacement. Halligan, a White House staffer who practiced insurance law before she joined Trump’s criminal defense team in 2022, has never tried a federal case.

Trump has long called for charges against Comey, whom he blames for the bogus investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia in the 2016 contest. President Trump has consistently called that sham investigation for what it was—a “witch hunt.”

According to sources, a grand jury is eyeing Comey for perjury and obstruction.

Democrats have been preparing for this eventuality since they began the coup of Trump in 2020. Had Trump lost, we would never come anywhere near resolving this travesty of justice. However, with the unexpected Trump win, Democrats knew that Comey’s indictments were just a matter of time.

By now the world knows that along with Comey there are many operatives who lied on Trump. And now we get the delicious irony of seeing the operatives who slandered President Trump with the phoniest “Russia collusion” story ever concocted may inside of a courtroom, and then perhaps inside jail cells.

The Big Lie: Proven and Dissected

For years, Democrats and their media mouthpieces insisted the Steele Dossier—opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign via Fusion GPS—had no bearing on the infamous 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that accused Russia of interfering on Trump’s behalf. The official story: “Just solid intelligence, nothing biased here, citizen!”

Well, hold onto your MAGA hat. The CIA’s 2025 tradecraft review determined that not only was the dossier included in the ICA over the strenuous objections of career professionals—it was rammed in by, you guessed it, Brennan and Comey themselves.

Naturally, these two pillars of the intelligence world both perjured themselves before Congress (because lying is now just “narrative shaping”), repeatedly testifying that the Steele Dossier wasn’t part of the assessment. The new CIA report reads less like dry analysis and more like a rejected Tom Clancy plot: “The decision by agency heads to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment.”

In other words: Get Trump at all costs.

But why stop there? In true “cover every base” fashion, Brennan even instructed analysts by email to make sure the Steele Dossier was included. Meanwhile, the Deputy Director for Analysis literally warned in writing that this move “risked the entire credibility of the paper.” But as we’ve learned, for Democrats, risking national credibility is merely an occupational hazard. Not to mention, when you have no credibility, what’s really at risk?

Revisiting Flynn: The Collateral Damage

Of course, while Comey makes headlines, let’s revisit his favorite hobby: going rogue against political opponents under the guise of “ethics.”

There’s the infamous episode where Comey dispatched FBI agents to ambush then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn without proper protocol. If only the Trump administration paid as much attention to bureaucratic landmines as Democrats pay to avoiding accountability.

Why did Obama’s crowd fear Flynn?

Not only was he under consideration as Trump’s National Security Advisor, but his foreign policy chops and his willingness to critique Obama’s feckless handling of global terror made him a persona non grata for the outgoing administration. It wasn’t about the “peaceful transition of power”—it was about keeping the Deep State’s secrets safely under the rug.

Obama, in a classic “tell me you’re spooked without telling me, ” Personally warned Trump not to keep Flynn. If that wasn’t enough, Comey, ever the operator, crowed about ignoring protocol when he tried to trip Flynn up, safe in the belief that “these new guys don’t know the rules.”

So, Comey breached protocol, and sent FBI agents to set up Flynn, since they were eavesdropping on his communications.

You may recall the media’s gleeful spin: “Comey was just protecting America from Russian spies!” In reality, it was Beltway gangsters policing their turf by any means necessary.

The Indictment Drama: As the Swamp Turns

Fast-forward to fall 2025. Federal prosecutors are racing a five-year statute of limitations to decide whether to indict Comey for lying to Congress about his role in leaking information and steering the ICA. The evidence? During 2020 testimony, Comey denied ordering or permitting leaks and claimed the Steele Dossier wasn’t used to inform the ICA—statements now at odds with documented internal CIA and FBI communications. He lied.

Of course, the Democrat-apparatchik media and even some Justice Department officials are wringing their hands. “Can we really charge him?” Well, that question has been answered.

“Will it stick?” Magic 8-Ball: All signs point to yes.

Meanwhile, President Trump himself has made it clear that, if the roles were reversed, Democrats would happily indict “their enemies” on the flimsiest of pretexts. Trump, being Trump, summarized the mood best:

“They impeached me twice, indicted me five times, OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

Lindsey Halligan—Trump’s former personal lawyer may have zero prosecutorial experience; she brings plenty of backbone to the task.

Deep State Blues: From Coup Plotting to Consequences

Let’s not forget, this isn’t just Comey’s party trick. The tradecraft review and ongoing House investigations have laid bare a genuine “treasonous conspiracy” that involves Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and the broader intelligence apparatus. The entirety of this operation aimed to prevent Trump’s win, and if he were elected, overturn the 2016 election.

Ironically, the so-called “insurance policy” texted by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page was just the tip of the iceberg. As mentioned earlier, we’ve learned that Brennan instructed the inclusion of fiction alongside fact, thus the entire facade collapses.

Tulsi Gabbard’s blunt summary says volumes:

“The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government.”

Take a moment to let that marinate. The people who absconded with four years of the country’s attention by claiming Trump was a secret Russian double-agent were, in fact, orchestrating a coup to destroy him for daring to beat their anointed queen, Hillary.

The Hypocrisy Olympics: Media and Democrat Sanctimony

If there were medals for hypocrisy, Democrats would sweep every event. The same party that demolished norms, spied on Trump, and fabricated “dossier-based” assessments now laughably feigns concern about “political prosecutions.”

Further, the media’s shift, meanwhile, is acrobatic.

Stories bemoan Trump’s “petty vindictiveness” while politely omitting that Comey, Brennan, and friends manufactured a multi-year witch hunt that accomplished nothing except destroying public faith in the institutions the left now claim to cherish.

Well, there is new wallpaper inside the Washington Post newsroom that reads: “Okay, democracy dies in darkness, and Democrats die in the light, so keep them off!”

Why This Matters: Justice (and Its Imitators)

The Comey case is not merely about one swamp creature finally getting hooked. It’s about a pattern of impunity deeply embedded in the upper echelons of government. When Trump-supporting Americans rally for accountability, the usual suspects call them “authoritarians.” Yet those same suspects conspired to rig investigations, leak selectively, and keep the public hypnotized with synthetic scandals.

Comey’s indictments are a cautionary tale to all bureaucratic showmen: eventually, the swamp tides turn.

The Swamp’s Last Stand

Justice in D.C. has been an urban legend—everyone talks about it, but nobody believes it’ll ever materialize. At this hour, Comey’s fate has a new course. And he won’t have a lot of people to run protection for his crimes.

If anything, the drama asserts one cold fact: political prosecution is real—in this case, it finally targets the people who corrupted the system, and not the person challenging it.

In short, what we’re witnessing isn’t just Comey’s karma—it’s the swamp’s nervous breakdown. And for America? Maybe, just maybe, we’re getting the reckoning the nation deserves.

Insane Liberal Pregnant Women Chug Tylenol to Protest Trump and RFK Jr.

By Antonio Graceffo – The Gateway Pundit – Sept 26, 2025

On Monday, September 22, 2025, President Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the FDA would be issuing warnings to doctors about acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy, claiming it “can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.”
Trump stated: “I want to say it like it is: Don’t take Tylenol. Don’t take it. Fight like hell not to take it.”
This announcement followed reports in early September that Kennedy was planning to release information linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism in a forthcoming HHS report.

Recently, I wrote a column about Meta’s restoration of free speech protections after the company admitted to censoring users on platforms like Facebook. The company also revealed that it was pressured by the Biden Administration to conduct such censorship. Now, Google has taken the same step in restoring a number of YouTube accounts and pledging to show greater respect for free speech.

Google made the disclosure in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH):

“Reflecting the Company’s commitment to free expression, YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect.”

This is another major victory for free speech. Google specifically acknowledged past political censorship and stated that it “values conservative voices on its platform.”

The company, for the first time, admitted that it yielded to comprehensive pressure from the Biden Administration to censor Americans. It acknowledged that the Biden censorship pressure was “unacceptable and wrong” and pledged to resist such pressure in the future.

Meta has substantially reduced censorship by replicating the approach of Elon Musk at X. These changes are a testament to Musk’s legacy in the restoration of free speech on social media. As I previously noted, we need companies like Facebook and Google. These are companies that are big enough to stand up to the European Union (EU) and its unrelenting campaign against free speech.

The censorship on Google and YouTube had a harmful impact beyond the loss of free speech. It suppressed opposing views on Covid policies from the efficacy of masks to the need to shut down our schools.

The very figures claiming to battle “disinformation” were suppressing opposing views that have now been vindicated as credible. It was not only the lab theory. In my recent book, I discuss how signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration were fired or disciplined by their schools or associations for questioning COVID-19 policies.

Some experts questioned the efficacy of surgical masks, the scientific support for the six-foot rule and the necessity of shutting down schools. The government has now admitted that many of these objections were valid and that it did not have hard science to support some of the policies. While other allies in the West did not shut down their schools, we never had any substantive debate due to the efforts of this alliance of academic, media and government figures.

Not only did millions die from the pandemic, but the United States is still struggling with the educational and mental health consequences of shutting down all our public schools. That is the true cost of censorship when the government works with the media to stifle scientific debate and public disclosures.

The disclosure is also a blow to many Democratic members of Congress who long attacked witnesses, including myself, who testified against the coordinated censorship by corporate and government officials. Before the release of the Twitter files, members insisted that there was no evidence of such coordination. Some still deny such coordination despite multiple companies now confirming it.

The greatest challenge, however, still lies ahead for these companies. The EU remains the greatest threat to free speech facing Americans. After Musk purchased X with a pledge to restore free speech, figures like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demanded that the EU use its infamous Digital Services Act to force X to censor Americans.

The EU has threatened Musk with confiscatory fines that could surpass $1 billion, according to The New York Times.

The Trump administration has warned the EU about its efforts to censor Americans. Meta and Google can now join X in creating a formidable corporate alliance for free speech. For the first time, the free speech community might have a coalition of government and corporate allies that could stand up to the EU.

There will likely remain a degree of mistrust from the free speech community towards these companies after years of censorship and stonewalling. However, we also need to accept our allies where and when we can find them. Free speech is in a free fall in Europe and many on the left are encouraging similar censorship laws for the United States. We need these companies and should support them as they take meaningful actions in favor of free speech.

So, bravo, Google, bravo.

In a stunning development that promises to rip away the veil of secrecy surrounding the 2020 presidential election in a critical swing state, The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room to detail a monumental victory for election transparency. This bombshell revelation, which left Bannon audibly shocked, centers on an American patriot, Yehuda Miller, who has successfully secured nearly one million documents from the City of Detroit and Wayne County through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. This colossal haul, one of the largest in U.S. history, represents a direct assault on the narrative peddled by the liberal media and entrenched bureaucrats that the 2020 election was the most secure in history.

For years, Michigan activists and lawmakers have been systematically gaslighted and stonewalled by dishonest election officials, including Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. They have fought an uphill battle against a system designed to obfuscate the truth about the inexplicable events that handed Joe Biden a victory in the must-win state of Michigan. Despite their tireless efforts, the necessary documents to verify the rampant suspicions of irregularities in Detroit’s election procedures remained out of reach, locked away by the very officials entrusted with ensuring a fair and transparent democratic process.

Enter an unexpected hero, Yehuda Miller, a New Jersey resident who described himself as formerly “non-political.” The events of the 2020 election and the subsequent lack of transparency from officials in key swing states compelled him to action. Miller’s initial FOIA request was, predictably, rejected by the establishment. However, undeterred by their denial of public records, Miller demonstrated the kind of tenacity that defines the movement supporting President Donald Trump: he hired a top FOIA attorney who successfully sued for the documents just before the expiration of the 22-month federally mandated period for retaining election records.

The fruits of this herculean effort are now in the hands of capable investigators. This treasure trove of evidence includes copies of the actual absentee ballots, the signed envelopes that contained those ballots, absentee ballot applications, QVF files, and the poll books and tally tapes from every Detroit precinct. Critically, this includes the records from precincts that were notoriously OUT OF BALANCE,” a glaring red flag that corporate media outlets deliberately ignored in their rush to certify a predetermined outcome. This evidence changes everything, providing the tangible proof that citizens have been demanding against a chorus of dismissals from the left.

The Gateway Pundit, alongside a respected team of Michigan election investigators, is now poised to blow the lid off the lies about Detroit’s so-called “secure” 2020 election. As Jim Hoft told Steve Bannon, this is a pivotal moment in the fight to restore faith in our electoral system.

While the liberal media continues to parrot debunked talking points and attack those who ask questions, real Americans are doing the hard work of uncovering the truth. This investigation is a testament to the power of citizen activism and a direct challenge to the corrupt establishment that sought to silence dissent. The American people deserve to know what truly happened, and this massive FOIA haul is the key to unlocking those answers, vindicating the millions who have always believed that President Donald Trump’s victories were unfairly contested.

President Trump Makes Major Announcement on Autism and Vaccines

By Cristina Laila – The Gateway Pundit – Sept 22, 2025

President Trump on Monday announced that the use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, can increase the risk of autism when used by pregnant women.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tylenol is tied to autism, ADHD and liver toxicity in children.
“Today, the FDA will issue a physician’s notice about the risk of acetaminophen during pregnancy and begin the process to initiate a safety label change,” Secretary Kennedy said. “There is a potential association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, including later diagnosis for ADHD and autism.”
President Trump also pleaded with mothers not to pump their babies with too many vaccines at once… READ MORE

man worships God at Charlie Kirk’s memorial
Christians’ focus from now on should be on living boldly for the Lord, like Charlie did — even if it becomes the hill on which we die.

For too long, Christians have sold and bought the lie that loving God and loving your neighbor means embracing ill-named political centrism, caving in the culture war, and quietly refusing opportunities to obey the Great Commission. The assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the widespread revival that followed, however, proves that the third way-ism that has infiltrated even the most seemingly solid Christian institutions has no home here any longer.

It’s not difficult to see that the “Christian nationalist” slur and smears corporate media, Democrats, and other cowards wielded in an effort to deter Biblically-informed life and law have taken root in key Christian circles, effectively neutering potential Good News bearers from delivering the best message of all time. Yet, a small but powerful sect of bold and morally courageous faithfuls, such as Charlie Kirk, successfully rejected those attacks and devoted their lives to sharing the Gospel with anyone who would listen.

The result of such a commendable act of obedience? A beautiful, one-of-a-kind memorial service in which millions of people across the world finally heard and saw the Good News that has been so readily suppressed from within in recent years.

For the first hour of the nearly eight-hour service, approximately 95,000 people threw up their hands and vowed to “praise You again and again.” The worship proclaiming the goodness of God was followed by the repeated declaration from the speakers, including several Trump administration officials, that Jesus saved. The end of the memorial featured widow Erika Kirk’s public proclamation of unthinkable forgiveness for her husband’s assassin.

Reports from within State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona suggested the room was electric with the Holy Spirit. From the stage, Tucker Carlson observed “God’s very obvious presence in this room, the presence of Jesus.”

Contrast Charlie’s exemplary evangelism and the many and mighty spiritual moments at his memorial with the behavior exhibited by some of the most renowned American Christian names, and you get an alarming picture.

The Big Eva leaders credited with carrying the mantle of American Christianity are guilty of shirking away from proclaiming the truth and celebrating Christian wins in the name of avoiding political skirmishes. In the worst cases, people such as Russell Moore, David French, and the Southern Baptist Convention’s lobbying arm, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, have become not just partisan pawns but active participants in the chorus of voices capitulating on Christ’s crucifixionmarriage, sex, the sanctity of life, and more and seeking to further divide Christ’s bride on what matters most.

Convincing an entire class of Christians to sit down and shut up about politics, or worse, pretend to coast in the middle of the road, certainly has been and would be an effective strategy for Satan to continue. Thankfully, God does not wait on the cooperation of man to enact his will.

Even without the help of Big Eva or the popular faith leaders who were shamefully silent or overly qualified their responses, God used Charlie’s martyrdom to spark a global revival.

People are flocking to churches, reading their Bibles, and publicly committing to live more like Charlie lived for Christ. Even the modern-day persecutors such as the corporate media have been forced to print stories with word-for-word calls to Christ-like love and forgiveness made at the memorial.

The Gospel by nature is offensive and “folly to those who are perishing,” which is why so many, even self-proclaimed shoo-ins for Heaven, fail to amplify it for fear of backlash. To the faithful and faith-curious who have received nothing but confirmation as of late that spiritual war for our souls rages on, however, the truth spoken from Charlie’s American Comeback tent and Charlie’s service shone with the unashamedness celebrated by Paul in Romans 1:16.

Americans are practically begging the Christians running our churches and country to return to the roots of their faith. The ever-present longing for a peace that surpasses all understanding and aching to taste and see that the Lord is good, however, won’t be satisfied with the lukewarmness that has dominated the pages of Christianity Today or possessed pulpits of many shapes and sizes any longer.

The mealy-mouthed and, frankly, cowardly behavior exhibited by so many prominent Christians in the last decade and especially this last week will not satisfy new converts who need pure spiritual milk nor will it nourish mature believers who long for soul-enriching meat.

The pastors, Christian podcasters, and others harping on Charlie’s past comments instead of focusing on the opportunity presented by his martyrdom are making a huge mistake. The time to make Heaven crowded is at hand, and those who have partnered with His will should waste no further time and effort whining about politics on colored Instagram graphics.

Instead, they should focus on living boldly for the Lord — like Charlie did. That includes staking everything on Christ, even if, as in Charlie’s case, it becomes the hill on which you die.

 Read more at https://theblacksphere.net/2025/09/democrats-toothless-budget-threat/

Democrats are once again circling back to their favorite September pastime—threatening a government shutdown unless they get their way.

Again, the tired ritual nobody wants, but the Left insists on shoving down America’s throat. But this year is different.

For the first time in a long time, Republicans actually have leverage—and they have Donald J. Trump to thank for it. The man Democrats swore was politically finished has handed his party the keys to the kingdom. Now the only question is whether GOP leadership will finally act like they know how to drive.

Democrats’ Annual Budget Circus

Every September, Democrats approach the budget like they’re haggling for beachfront property at a garage sale. They throw in demands, ultimatums, and, when all else fails, a good old-fashioned shutdown threat.

According to Politico, Democrats are “gearing up to reject a GOP stopgap funding bill and potentially spark a government shutdown.” In plain English: they’re ready to hold America hostage to secure taxpayer funding for their pet projects.

This time their “counteroffer” is a Frankenstein patchwork of giveaways—extending health care subsidies, repealing GOP Medicaid reforms, and a wish list that reads more like a Bernie Sanders dream journal than serious fiscal policy. It’s the equivalent of showing up at a poker table with Monopoly money and demanding a seat.

The irony is suffocating. For years, Democrats demanded “clean” short-term funding bills from Republicans. Now, they’re shoving pork into theirs like a TSA agent stuffing a carry-on with “just one more” oversized shampoo bottle.


Democrats Admit They Can’t Win

And here’s where the comedy writes itself. Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) let the mask slip, admitting:

“We may not have the luxury of a victory scenario. I think what we’re trying to do is avoid things getting worse. I don’t think victory is in anyone’s hopes and dreams in this moment.”

Translation: We know we can’t win, but we have to at least look like we’re swinging.

Swinging? Please. This isn’t a heavyweight bout. It’s a slap fight in a pillow fort. Democrats aren’t negotiating from strength—they’re role-playing “resistance” for their base.


Republicans Finally in the Driver’s Seat

For once, Republicans don’t look like they’re sweating bullets. Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are sitting back, watching Democrats perform their Kabuki theater, and quietly counting the votes. Democrats are already warning Republicans not to “bother” negotiating with them. That’s fine—Republicans have the math. For once, the GOP isn’t falling for the “compromise” game that always ends with taxpayers waking up in a financial hospital bed, wondering who mugged them in the alley.

This is the moment to expose Democrats for what they are: money-grabbing vermin who only view taxpayer dollars as fuel for their perpetual power machine.


The Bigger Picture: Why Democrats Look Weak

Let’s be blunt. Democrats aren’t panicking about a shutdown—they’re panicking about exposure. They’ve lost their stranglehold on election cheating, the economy is rebounding under Trump, and the public is no longer buying the narrative that government closures are apocalyptic events.

History proves it. Bill Clinton’s 1995 shutdown standoff with Newt Gingrich was supposed to end the GOP—it didn’t. In 2013, Obama tried to paint Republicans as reckless during the Ted Cruz-led shutdown fight. By 2014, Republicans retook the Senate. Americans eventually realize that the sun still rises, Social Security checks still arrive, and federal workers enjoy an unscheduled vacation.

The Left has run out of bogeymen. No one’s trembling at their “shutdown” anymore.


Trump’s Shadow Looms Over the Fight

Make no mistake: this isn’t just about budget math. Trump’s influence looms large. His tariffs are generating historic revenue, $31.4 billion in August alone, silencing critics who swore tariffs would crater the economy. Democrats know the financial tide is turning against them.

With a rejuvenated Trump agenda breathing life into the GOP, Republicans don’t need to compromise. They don’t need to bend. They finally hold the high ground.


Democrats’ Hollow “Resistance”

This budget fight has revealed the Democrats’ new political strategy: performative resistance. They know they can’t win policy battles, so they pretend to fight, hoping their voters mistake theater for strength.

But Americans are tired of the charade. Voters see the hypocrisy. They remember Democrats demanding “clean” funding bills, only to stuff theirs with subsidies and pork. They remember Democrats crying “fiscal responsibility” while running up $36 trillion in national debt. They remember Democrats swearing Trump would tank the economy—only to watch Biden do it instead.


The Path Forward for Republicans

Here’s the moment of truth: Republicans can either step into their newfound role as leaders, or they can repeat the old routine—fold under pressure, declare a “compromise,” and hand Democrats yet another hollow victory. But the signs are encouraging. The GOP appears calm. The nuclear option passed in the Senate. The days of Democrats dragging Republicans around by the nose may finally be over.

If Republicans hold firm, they can do more than just win a budget fight. They can redefine the narrative: Democrats no longer dictate terms in Washington.


Conclusion: Democrats’ Empty Threat

So, let’s call the Democrat bluff for what it is: an empty shutdown threat from a party that’s out of ideas, out of leverage, and out of time. The Republicans have the numbers. They have Trump’s momentum. And, most importantly, they have the will of the American people who are sick of being fleeced in these budget games.

This year, the “government shutdown” isn’t a weapon—it’s a punchline. And the Democrats are the joke.

Tracing the Money: Trump Vows to Discover Who Is Financing Antifa, Trantifa, and Left-Wing Violence

By Antonio Graceffo – The Gateway Pundit –  Sept 22, 2025

At the Charlie Kirk memorial, President Trump spoke bluntly about left-wing violence, declaring, “The violence comes largely from the left.”
He described Antifa attacks on protesters and events, adding, “Many of these people are paid agitators. When you see they all have the same beautifully printed sign, every sign is identical. It comes out of a top-level print shop. That’s not the kind of sign made in somebody’s basement. Those are paid for by very bad people, and hopefully we are going to be finding out through the DOJ who those people are.”
Trump has vowed to designate Antifa and other groups promoting left-wing violence as terrorist organizations. In theory, such a designation would make it easier for the Department of Justice to bring charges against those who finance them. The problem, however, is that under U.S. law there is no mechanism to label domestic groups as terrorist organizations. The Foreign Terrorist Organization designation applies to international groups such as… READ MORE

‘Minnesota is drowning in fraud’: Prosecutors unveil first indictments in housing program fraud

By Luke Sprinkel – AphaNews – Sept 18, 2025

“The level of fraud in these programs is staggering. Unfortunately, our system of trust but verify no longer works,” Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said regarding fraud in state programs.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota has indicted eight individuals for their alleged role in defrauding the state’s Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program. In a press briefing, Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said most of the $100 million HSS program was fraud.
In August, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) shut down HSS, a housing assistance program funded by Medicaid but operated by DHS. State leaders said HSS was shut down due to widespread fraud within the program.
Today, Thompson confirmed HSS is “riddled with fraud” as he announced eight individuals have been indicted for allegedly defrauding the program. Thompson told the press, “I think of the eight, I don’t know for sure, but I think six of the eight are of East African descent.”… READ MORE

Jimmy Kimmel Got Paid $16 MILLION Yearly for NOTHING

By Gregory Lyakhov – The Gateway Pundit – Sept 20, 2025

Jimmy Kimmel’s downfall was not sudden, nor was it really about one offensive remark regarding Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The truth is, ABC had been looking for a reason to push him out. Kimmel’s contract, set to expire next year, gave the network an easy out: if he became a liability to the company’s image, he could be suspended.
That is precisely what happened. The Charlie Kirk controversy was only the excuse.
For years, Kimmel collected a staggering $16 million annually, while his ratings were collapsing.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” fell from nearly two million viewers in January 2025 to just 1.1 million by August, trailing his late-night competitors.
Those numbers told ABC all it needed to know. Why keep paying one of television’s most enormous salaries when the show could no longer justify the cost?… READ MORE

Read more at https://jonathanturley.org/2025/09/19/federal-judge-rules-for-parents-in-case-involving-concealment-of-childs-gender-changes/

There is a major ruling, Mead v. Rockford Public School Dist., a potentially precedent-setting case on parental rights in our public schools. Judge Paul Maloney (W.D. Mich.) ruled that Plaintiffs Dan and Jennifer Mead could move forward with their claims that the Rockford Public School district concealed changes to the gender identification of their biological daughter, identified as G.M. As I have previously written, parental rights are shaping up as a major battleground for the Supreme Court after years of decisions in the lower court undermining parental controls and disclosures.

A recent legal decision captured this growing divide. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit ruled last month that parents had no protected right to be informed when their children change their gender identity in public school.

In Foote v. Feliciano, Marissa Silvestri and Stephen Foote sued Baird Middle School in Ludlow, Massachusetts, after they learned that school administrators did not inform them that their 11-year-old child had self-declared as “genderqueer” and that teachers and staff were using a new name and new pronouns for the student.

The parents were initially told only that their child was experiencing mental health difficulties, including depression. Silvestri said they would seek mental health support for their child and asked that administrators not have any private conversations with (the Student) in regards to this matter.”

The parents later learned that the school’s staff had continued to meet with their child without their knowledge, implemented the change in gender identity and took active measures not to reveal the change to them (including using the student’s birth name in communications with the parents). The school, without the parents’ knowledge, arranged for changes in everything from the use of male bathrooms to the exclusive use of the child’s new name in class.

The district court in Massachusetts denied the parents’ request for a trial and granted a summary dismissal in favor of the schools.

A century ago, the nation’s highest court ruled in Pierce v. Society of Sisters that the child is not the mere creature of the State; those who nurture him and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations.”

In its 2000 Troxel v. Granville decision, the court recognized the fundamental right of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children.”

There is no greater natural right than the right to control the upbringing of our children. This right was not granted to us by the grace of the state. It rests with us as human beings. It is part of a panoply of natural rights embraced by the framers − a commitment made nearly 250 years ago in our Declaration of Independence.

The right prevailed in Michigan in this critical threshold ruling. While denying a free exercise claim, the court agreed that there was a viable Fourteenth Amendment claim:

The right of parents to direct their children’s upbringing originated from three Supreme Court cases: Meyer v. Nebraska (1923), Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925), and Farrington v. Tokushige (1927)…. The Court affirmed the life of this right in Troxel v. Granville (2000). There, the Court held that “the interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children [] is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interest recognized by this Court.” … In addition, parents have a fundamental right to control their child’s health. See Parham v. J.R. (1979). “The law’s concept of the family rests on a presumption that parents possess what a child lacks in maturity, experience, and capacity for judgment required for making life’s difficult decisions.” So “[s]urely, [a parent’s right] includes a ‘high duty’ to recognize symptoms of illness and to seek and follow medical advice.” …

The court noted that the parents were alleging a key element in the case that the district intentionally deceived them and found that these “allegations show some amount of coercion or interference from the district, which implicates Plaintiffs’ right to make fundamental decisions for G.M.”

Bravo, Judge Maloney.

Many people are calling out former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for a posting supporting American Federation of Teachers (AFT) chief Randi Weingarten’s new book in which she paints her political opponents as “fascists.” The timing was flagged as, at best, tone deaf in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a shooter who wrote fascist references on his bullets and was clearly radicalized by such rage rhetoric. For me, the timing was most notable in how Weingarten and Clinton are again pushing their extreme rhetoric as a new report emerged showing the utter failure of our schools to actually educate our children. Weingarten and Clinton cannot be bothered by the long-standing declines in education. They are returning to the three Rs: Republicans, Rage, and Recrimination.

Weingarten is “credited” with turning the teacher’s union into an extension of the Democratic Party, often appearing at political rallies with her signature high-volume screeds:

Clinton pushed the use of education to paint opponents as fascists: “Congratulations to my friend [Weingarten] on ‘Why Fascists Fear Teachers.’ From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it’s a cornerstone of democracy.”

Schools have become the cornerstone of a political strategy as opposed to actual education. As Weingarten and Clinton were pushing the fascism attacks, a new study showed just how badly teacher’s unions and administrators have failed our students.

While Weingarten and other unions have poured millions into democratic and liberal campaigns, they have done little to improve education for millions of students.

High school students, especially 12th graders, hit record lows this year, according to a new report from the National Assessment of Education Progress. The new report, known as the Nation’s Report Card, shows almost half of high school seniors are now testing below basic levels in math and reading, and approximately 35% are at or above a proficient reading level, while 32% of them had a below “basic” reading proficiency. In math, only about 22% of 12th graders are performing at or above proficiency standards.

A review of eighth graders and their science ability found 31% of them were performing at proficient or above proficient standards.

However, it is time to again attack your opponents as fascists in the name of education.

Teachers and school boards are killing the institution of public education by treating children and parents more like captives than consumers. They are force-feeding social and political priorities, including passes for engaging in approved protests.

Faced with abysmal scores, particularly for minority students, school boards and union officials have called for lowering or suspending proficiency standards or declared meritocracy to be a form of “white supremacy.” Gifted and talented programs are being eliminated in the name of “equity.”

At the same time, we have previously discussed how schools have been dropping the use of standardized tests to achieve diversity goals in admissions. Cal State dropped standardized testing “to level the playing field” for minority students.

The result is that colleges and universities are dealing with students who lack proficiency in basic subjects. This year, Harvard University was forced to introduce remedial, high-school-level math courses for its students due to falling scholastic standards.

The problem with a new diatribe about fascists is that many of your students may have little understanding of that term. Social studies proficiency has also been failing for years.

Corporate America had better wake up—fast.

Charlie Kirk was murdered from 200 yards away, with the cold precision of someone lining up a target at a shooting range. He didn’t die in a back alley or some political war zone. He had security and died in the open, under the watch of a supposedly civilized society at a university.

If someone with security, visibility, and national prominence can be picked off from that distance, how hard do you think it would be to reach your average CEO at a shareholder meeting? How protected are your ideas from the activists you thought were just “passionate employees”?

Because the truth is, the woke don’t just disagree with you anymore. They dehumanize you. And dehumanization is always the last step before violence.


This is not hyperbole. The same culture that once argued for “inclusivity” now cheers public assassinations if the victim had the wrong political leanings.

When Kirk’s death hit the news, while millions mourned, thousands celebrated.

Educators, lawyers, even judges recorded themselves dancing on Kirk’s metaphorical grave. Imagine your general counsel popping champagne because a man was gunned down for speaking ideas, they found distasteful.

This is the America the Left built: a violent-crazed society where moral outrage has been weaponized and pointed inward.


Consider what this means for corporate culture.

The so-called “woke” revolution was sold to boardrooms as harmless HR fluff—diversity workshops, pride flags on Zoom backgrounds, and land acknowledgements before meetings. But beneath the rainbows and hashtags lurked something darker: a generation indoctrinated to see ideological opponents not as rivals but as evil. And evil as they define it, must be eradicated. This is what they have been taught.

It’s not just theory. For example, an Office Depot employee refused to print Kirk memorial posters, calling them “propaganda.” She was fired—but not before the damage was done.

How many more employees like her sit quietly in your company, their finger not on a print button this time, but maybe on something far worse?

Think of them as ideological IEDs. You never know where they’re buried or what will trigger them.


Some CEOs are still in denial. They think this can’t happen in their world.

They think politics and business are separate planets. That’s adorable. The healthcare executive executed in broad daylight likely never considered such an end to his life. His killer was celebrated on social media because he supposedly opposed gender ideology in children’s care.

You think the C-suite occupants in America are immune? One viral tweet labeling your CFO a “fascist” could put a bullseye on their back.

“Going postal” used to describe a workplace shooting born of personal despair. But today, the despair has been replaced by doctrine. The rage is ideological, sanctified by hashtags, and no badge or building badge can stop it.


This isn’t just about safety. It’s about survival—of business, of free thought, of any semblance of rational discourse.

Would you want a surgeon who checks your Facebook before deciding how carefully to operate? A judge who scrolls your LinkedIn before deciding your sentence? Because we already have doctors publicly praising Kirk’s assassin. We already have professors and teachers cheering the assassination.

This isn’t politics. It’s purification, the purge.

And once purification starts, it doesn’t end with Charlie Kirk. It ends when there’s nobody left to disagree with.


Here’s the bitter irony:

The Left promised that embracing “woke” would inoculate companies from harm. It was supposed to be a shield. But they were manufacturing the weapons all along. Corporations hired zealots and called it progress. They gave them DEI budgets, influence, and policies to enforce. They trained them to sniff out “wrongthink”, aka truth. What they didn’t do was ask what happens when they find it in you.

The truth is, wokeism is not just a moral threat. It’s a business threat. One act of “resistance” from a rogue employee can destroy billions in brand equity. Just ask Bud Light. One rogue manager’s crusade erased decades of brand loyalty in weeks. Now imagine that, but with bullets instead of boycotts.


Every executive in America should ask themselves these questions at least:

  • How protected are your ideas?
  • What’s the threshold for becoming a “legitimate target” in the eyes of the “woke”?

The assassination of Kirk didn’t expose the dirty underbelly of wokeism, it showed us its full face—cold, self-righteous, and jubilant at the sight of what it deems enemy blood.

Corporate America has a choice: purge the ideology now or wait to see which of your executives becomes the next headline.

If you think you’re safe because you stayed neutral, remember: Charlie Kirk didn’t die for picking a fight. He died for daring to merely ask that he be heard.

When a CEO can’t act on common sense and what’s best for his or her organization and instead caters to “woke”, that company is doomed.

When the opposition is digging its own grave, the best thing to do is throw them shovels. Or better yet, rent them a backhoe.

If you built a scoreboard of where the Democratic Party stands today, the numbers wouldn’t just be bad—they’d be a tornado warning siren. Every major metric from polling to public trust is flashing red. And here’s the kicker: it’s not just the opposition doing damage; Democrats are managing to sabotage themselves in spectacular fashion. Added insult, of course, comes from the very things they claim to champion.

Here are the top ten reasons Democrats may already be counting their losses—for now and into the foreseeable future. Some are rooted in policy, others in perception. All are painful. Sit tight, because each point digs a little deeper.


1. Confidence Collapse—Democrats Are Their Own Worst Enemy

Some polls don’t lie. And on confidence in Democratic leadership, the picture is grim. A Gallup poll from April 2025 shows public confidence in Democratic congressional leaders at just 25%, the lowest ever recorded and far below historical norms. Meanwhile, 62% of self-identified Democrats say it’s time for new leadership. This isn’t just about unpopularity—it’s about existential doubt.

There’s hypocrisy in the air: a party that preaches unity, inclusion, and competence seems unable to practice them internally. The leaders are either too old, too out-of-touch, or too splintered to inspire. If you think the bench is deep, try to name the next big star without invoking age, scandal, or “she almost won once.” It’s not just that the opposition is strong—it’s that Democrats fail to present strong alternatives.


2. Bench Weakness—When All the Horses Are Tired or Missing

Democrats’ bench—meaning people who are young enough, charismatic enough, and unblemished enough—is weak. President Biden and Vice President Harris both have alarmingly low approval in many circles, and many of their would-be successors are either toxic to large swaths of voters, untested, or both. Meanwhile, Republicans are pushing figures like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and other MAGA allies who benefit from clear branding, media traction, and a base that grooms talent ruthlessly.

In this game, image and message matter. The Democrats often seem stuck defending past wins instead of crafting new ones.


3. President Trump & the Roar of the Opposition

In his second term, Donald Trump has emerged as a wrecking crew for Democratic messaging.

Border crisis? Check.

Voter fraud claims? Check.

Weakness on law and order? Check.

The optics are that he’s playing offence all the time—and Democrats are reacting, not defining.

For many voters, politics isn’t about nuanced debate—it’s about who looks like they can deliver, protect, and act decisively. Trump has made being decisive the core of his appeal (for better or worse). Democrats, by contrast, are often forced into clarifying, apologizing, or retracing steps—not a recipe for dominance in a polarized era.


4. Competence (or Perceived Lack Thereof) in the Opposition Team

Trump’s team is being portrayed—and sometimes undoubtedly is—as more meritorious. Whether it’s by media exposure, political branding, or simply the contrast with Democratic chaos, Republicans are winning in focus, message control, and execution. Democrats have run on the concept of perception is reality. For Trump, reality is reality. And most Americans favor his version of reality.

When voters think one side is running a train and the other is still building tracks, that’s trouble.


5. Election Rules and Legal Moves— “Fair” Is Becoming A Moving Target

A massive salvo came with Trump’s executive order, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” signed in March 2025. Among its provisions: stronger proof of citizenship for federal voter registration, limits on counting late arriving mail-in ballots, and conditioning federal election-related funds on states adhering to integrity measures.

Trump and Republicans have more recently vowed to end mail-in ballots entirely by the 2026 midterms, calling them “corrupt.” Legal experts as of now say such sweeping changes face serious constitutional because many election laws are under state control. I believe Team Trump will figure a way over those hurdles.

Here’s the hypocrisy: many proponents of mail-in voting were Democrats, especially during COVID-19. Suddenly, certain voting modalities are “threats to democracy,” not tools for inclusion. Democrats use the excuse that for many states and communities, restricting mail-in ballots disproportionately affects the elderly, rural voters, military personnel, people with disabilities—groups that tend to lean Democratic. This is very rare, if it happens at all. Consider Jimmy Carter’s last vote. They wheeled him out on a gurney so he could vote for Biden.

6. Crime as a Political Weapon

Crime isn’t just a policy issue—it’s a symbol. And Republicans, under Trump, are making it one of their signature issues: law, order, public safety.

The Democratic Party’s struggles with messaging (and results) on crime—how to balance justice reform with public safety, how to address real community concerns without seeming soft—are being outflanked. Voters who feel unsafe are not primarily interested in nuanced social justice theory. They want solutions and reassurance.

Whenever crime spikes, the perception of incompetence grows. And for many, the assumption is Democrats aren’t serious about order—or worse, find it inconvenient when tough policies clash with progressive orthodoxy. Put another way, Democrats fuel themselves on chaos. And crime in their case does pay. Handsomely.


7. Minority Voters, Regret, and the Shifts in the Base

Democrats have long relied on strong support from minority voters, whether Black, Hispanic, or others. But support is never guaranteed. Disillusionment, perceived neglect, or policy betrayal can chip away at loyalty. The hypothesis: the death of Charlie Kirk (you mean he wasn’t Hitler reborn?), shock-value moments, and the framing of public safety are inspiring reconsideration among some previously automatic voters. (Note: this point is speculative in places, because such shifts are complex and rarely linear.)

Here’s what we do know: the Democrats’ base is restless. Polls show growing pessimism among Democrats themselves—not just about Republicans, but about how their own party operates. Common Dreams


8. The Border Issue—Real, Symbolic, and Politically Damaging

Immigration has long been a flashpoint, and Republicans are pushing the narrative that Democrats—despite years of control in parts—allowed illegal entry, immigration crises, and lax enforcement. This was an indisputable fact.

Now, with Trump closing the border (or claiming he has), the Democrats are painted as having been negligent operators of a crisis, then punishing citizens by raising fears of illegal voting, overburdened services, or compromised public safety. That’s a hard frame to beat, especially in swing areas where border issues resonate.


9. “2 million Illegals Gone”—Counting Votes, Counting Consequences

This is less a verified statistic than a rhetorical weapon, but powerful. The claim (or belief) that removing a large number of undocumented people (or preventing their participation in anything near voting blocs) will shift demographics, census counts, and hence political power, is already being used to stoke fear among Democrats.

If enough people believe that illegal immigration = electoral gain (for Dems) and that removing those gains will cost the party seats, then the pressure adds up—not just in opinion, but in policy and legal battlegrounds.


10. The Death of Charlie Kirk—Shock, Symbolism, and Shift

Charlie Kirk—conservative activist, youth influencer, Turning Point USA founder—was assassinated on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University. Kirk’s death has ripple effects far beyond the tragic.

It catalyzes conversations about political violence; it polarizes media coverage; it redefines martyrdom in some conservative circles. The GOP moves quickly to leverage this kind of symbolic event for political energy. Democrats will need to respond with authenticity—avoiding the obvious trap of blaming the gun, fearmongering, or suppressing dissent. If they fail, the fallout could deepen shifts in youth and minority political identity.

Because of the reactions of many Leftists who mocked the death of Kirk, Democrats are said to be leaving the party in droves.


Additional Problems—Hypocrisy and Self-Undermining Themes

Beyond the ten, there are themes that run through many of these points:

  • Trans Issues & Identity Politics: When Democrats appear selective or contradictory about which identities they protect, they open themselves up to accusations of hypocrisy. Vox pops on trans issues, women’s issues, and free speech are showing fractures.
  • Behavior & Scandal: Names like Jasmine Crockett become lightning rods when tangled with expectations of integrity. Leaks, fights, internal dissent worsen external impressions.
  • RINOs & Internal Infighting: Maybe the biggest self-inflicted wound is that while Democrats are busy screaming “extremism,” factions within GOP and those labeled RINOs are often more unified in messaging and policy pushes. Unity (or its appearance) matters—and Republicans currently appear to have more.

Conclusion

Democrats aren’t just fighting Republicans. They’re fighting themselves: a crisis of leadership, perception, policy coherence, and urgency. If they don’t exorcise the contradictions, stop underestimating the symbolic power of crime, violence, and voting rule changes—and actually give voters something positive, believable, and confident—then the carnage isn’t coming. It’s already begun.

In a powerful and necessary rebuke on the floor of Congress, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) expertly dismantled the false and dangerous narrative being perpetuated by the disgraced Democrat, Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). This confrontation came after Crockett, in a shocking display of ignorance or outright malice, chose to echo the same defamatory lies that recently cost Jimmy Kimmel his television show, attempting to blame the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk on the very movement he dedicated his life to advancing.

Refusing to learn from the well-deserved fate of the late-night host, Crockett stood by her deeply offensive and insensitive claims, attempting to cite a far-left Yahoo News article as her sole piece of evidence. This is a common tactic of the liberal media: to seize upon a single, unverified detail from a questionable source and amplify it to push a politically convenient lie, all while ignoring the overwhelming body of facts that contradict their preferred storyline.

Representative Greene, however, would not allow this malicious fiction to stand unchallenged. She rose to deliver a stunning smackdown, presenting the clear and undeniable facts of the case that the mainstream media has desperately tried to obscure. With precision and force, MTG laid bare the truth for the congressional record and for the entire American public to witness.

“I can assure you that the 22-year-old man, Tyler Robinson, that murdered Charlie Kirk, is not MAGA,” Greene stated authoritatively. She continued, methodically dismantling Crockett’s falsehood, “His family may be Republican, but all of the evidence being presented proves he is a far-leftist, very much integrated in online groups that are linked to Antifa.”

Greene then detailed the assassin’s personal life, which is completely anathema to the values of the MAGA movement and the millions of decent, law-abiding citizens who support President Donald J. Trump. “He was in a relationship with a biological male, so-called furry, whatever that is, that is transitioning to be a fake woman,” she explained. “He was not MAGA, not one bit; that is a complete lie, and it’s an insult to every single Republican and person who identifies with those types of politics.”

In a crucial and sobering segment of her remarks, Representative Greene connected the dots between this kind of reckless, hateful rhetoric and the escalating political violence perpetrated against conservatives. She issued a stark warning that the days of tolerating such dangerous defamation are over.

“We will not tolerate it. And that is the exact type of language that is getting many of us death threats, day after day,” Greene declared. She powerfully linked the toxic rhetoric from the left to real-world acts of violence, stating, “This is what led to shootings on the baseball field where Steve Scalise was shot, President Trump nearly being assassinated, and Charlie Kirk being assassinated. So, I just want to give a warning there, we’re not going to tolerate that anymore.”

This firm stance is a defense of truth and a stand against the unhinged left-wing bias that continues to poison the nation’s discourse and put lives in imminent danger. It is a defense of the peaceful supporters of the Make America Great Again movement and a defense of President Trump himself, who has been the primary target of this non-stop vitriol from the corrupt and dishonest media.

Below is my column in the Hill on the murder of Charlie Kirk, the latest victim of our age of rage. The evidence of Antifa scribblings and indoctrination of the shooter came as no surprise. For months, some of us have been warning Democratic leaders about their dangerous rhetoric and how it would be received by the most radical elements in the Antifa movement.

Here is the column:

“Prove me wrong.”

For years, that tagline of Charlie Kirk and his group, Turning Point USA, enraged many on the left. In “an age of rage,” nothing is more triggering for the perpetually angry than an invitation to debate issues.

Indeed, someone has now killed him for it.

What is most chilling about the assassination is that it was not in the slightest degree surprising. This follows two attempted assassinations of President Trump and the killing of a pair of Minnesota politicians.

I heard of the assassination in Prague as I prepared to speak about the age of rage and the growing attacks on free speech. I was profoundly saddened by the news. I knew Charlie and respected his effort to challenge the orthodoxy on college campuses. We all have received regular death threats (and Charlie more than most), but there is still a hope that even the most deranged will leave these threats at the ideation rather than the action stage.This killer left Charlie’s wife, Erika, and her two young children as the latest victims of senseless violence against someone who refused to be silenced.

We do not have to know much about the shooter to recognize the rage. The person who killed Charlie did not view him as a father or even as a person. That is the transformative, enabling effect of rage.

In my book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage, I write about rage and the uncomfortable truth for many engaging in rage rhetoric: “What few today want to admit is that they like it. They like the freedom that it affords, the ability to hate and harass without a sense of responsibility. It is evident all around us as people engage in language and conduct that they repudiate in others. We have become a nation of rage addicts, flailing against anyone or anything that stands in opposition to our own truths. Like all addictions, there is not only a dependency on rage but an intolerance for opposing views. … Indeed, to voice free speech principles in a time of rage is to invite the rage of the mob.”

Charlie was brave, and he was brash. He refused to yield to the threats while encouraging others to speak out on our campuses.

He was particularly hated for holding a mirror to the face of higher education, exposing the hate and hypocrisy on our campuses. For decades, faculty have purged their ranks of conservatives and libertarians. Faced with the intolerance of most schools, polls show that a large percentage of students hide their values to avoid retaliation from faculty or their fellow students.

Charlie chose to change all that. TPUSA challenges people to engage and debate them. The response from some on the left has been to trash their tables and threaten the students. Recently, at UC Davis, police stood by and watched as a TPUSA tent was torn apart.

Charlie is only the latest such victim, and he is unlikely to be the last.

For months, some of us have warned about the rise in rage rhetoric. Some believe that they can ride a wave of rage back into power. House Minority Leader Hakeem  Jeffries (D., N.Y.) has called for people to take to the streets to save democracy and posted a picture of himself brandishing a baseball bat.

Likewise, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) declared, “I’m going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.”

Various radical groups welcome such rage rhetoric, particularly Antifa. The most violent anti-free speech group in the U.S., Antifa has long attacked journalists and others with opposing views. In his “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” Professor Mark Bray noted that “most Americans in Antifa have been anarchists or antiauthoritarian communists. … From that standpoint, ‘free speech’ as such is merely a bourgeois fantasy unworthy of consideration.”

Alleged shooter Tyler Robinson, 22, reportedly left telltale Antifa markings on evidence, including marking bullets inscribed with the lyrics: “Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Ciao, Ciao”(from an Italian anti-fascist anthem) and “Hey, fascist! Catch!”

I previously testified in Congress about the dangers of Antifa, and I discuss the group in my book. Despite such warnings, Democratic leaders have dismissed those dangers or actually embraced Antifa.

Former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison (D), now Minnesota’s attorney general, previously celebrated how Antifa would “strike fear in the heart” of Trump. Liberal sites sell Antifa items to celebrate the violent group, including onesies for “Antifa babies.”

Some politicians have privately expressed alarm at the rising violent speech in their ranks. One Democratic member told Axios, “Some of [our supporters] have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot.”

Protesters are burning cars and dealerships. Even lawyers and reporters on the left are throwing Molotov cocktails at police. Some on the left have rolled out guillotines and chanted, “We got the guillotine, you better run.”

Just before he was shot at Utah Valley University, Kirk rallied the group with its signature chant of “prove me wrong.” Someone responded by killing him.

Of course, the murder proved nothing except that senseless hate is sweeping over our country. Someone preferred to kill Kirk rather than engage with him or others who held opposing views.

It is precisely the lack of debate and dialogue that has triggered this type of violence. For those dwelling deep in the hardened silos of our news and social media, dissenting voices become increasingly intolerable.

Charlie is still exposing that hypocrisy. As I prepared to address Charlie’s murder in Prague, anti-free speech groups were already using his murder to justify even greater limits on free speech to combat hate and disinformation. This is the ultimate dishonoring of his life and his legacy. Charlie died in the fight for free speech, challenging speech codes and censorship.

Greater censorship will not make political violence less likely; it will only make the likelihood of another Charlie Kirk less likely. Europe shows that extremists flourish under speech controls. The neo-Nazis are having a banner year in portraying themselves as victims.

It is the rest of us that are deterred by speech codes. According to polling, only 18 percent of Germans feel free to express their opinions in public. Fifty-nine percent of Germans do not even feel free expressing themselves in private among friends. Only 17 percent feel free to express themselves on the internet.

Charlie was hated because he exposed the left’s intolerance of opposing views … all in the purported cause of achieving greater tolerance. By challenging others to debate, he triggered a generation of speech-phobics who are more interested in silencing others than speaking on their own account.

Charlie was hated for stripping away the pretense and self-delusion of those canceling, blacklisting, and attacking others for holding opposing views. He did so by standing in harm’s way.

The conservatives that Kirk coaxed out of the shadows can honor his memory by showing that they will not be silenced. They can step forward and renew his same challenge: “Prove me wrong.”

Below is my column that ran earlier on Fox.com on the calls for the termination of academics and others who have criticized Charlie Kirk or expressed satisfaction with his murder. Unfortunately, such hateful remarks are nothing new in academia. However, this is not about them. It is about us, and more importantly, it is about Charlie and what he fought for his entire life. We cannot allow our anger or sorrow to lead us into becoming the very people that Charlie denounced in his life. If you “Stand with Charlie,” you stand with free speech.

Here is the column:

“Stand with Charlie!” That message spontaneously appeared throughout the world after the unspeakable violent attack by an extremist. No, it was not the response to the murder of Charlie Kirk this week. It was ten years ago with the killing of staff at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. World leaders, including the French, German, and Turkish presidents, joined a march for free speech despite their own speech crackdowns, including prior targeting of the magazine and the victims.

The chief editor, Stéphane Charbonnier, had refused to be silenced by the French government and declared, “I would rather die standing than live on my knees.” He was the first person the gunmen asked for in their attack on the office, and he was one of the first to be killed.

At the time, I wrote about the breathtaking hypocrisy and noted that one of the few surviving editors of the magazine refused to join the march with those who relentlessly pursued them with criminal investigation. After the march, France, Germany, and other Western governments expanded their censorship laws and the prosecution of viewpoints deemed inflammatory or hateful.

In the ultimate dishonoring of the memory of the Charlie Hebdo staff, the French officials then proceeded to use their own murders to justify increasing prosecution of speech

The killing of Charlie Kirk in the United States ten years later is clearly different in one critical respect. There will be no “I am Charlie” campaign on the left. Some on the left have celebrated the killing while others, mouthing regret, attacked Kirk and suggested that he brought this upon himself.

That is hardly a surprise. Kirk spent his tragically short life exposing the hypocrisy and intolerance of the left, particularly in higher education. They hated him for it. Universities and colleges have long been bastions of the left with the purging of most conservative or Republican faculty from most departments and the maintenance of an academic echo chamber in classrooms.

Kirk challenged all that. He drove many mad by inviting them to debate issues. The response was often violence, including the trashing of tables of his group, Turning Point USA. Ultimately, he was killed for insisting on being heard.

However, we are facing the same danger of self-consuming hypocrisy — ten years after that other Charlie shooting. Some on the right are calling for people who denounce Kirk or celebrate his death to be fired. That ranges from professors to public employees.

I knew Charlie. While I cannot call myself a close friend, we spoke about the lack of free speech on our campuses and the efforts to cancel or fire those with opposing views. More than anyone today, Kirk brilliantly exposed that hypocrisy by putting himself and his group in harm’s way.

The way to honor Charlie Kirk’s life and legacy is not with hypocrisy and intolerance.  That is what he died fighting against.

To fire people on campuses for speaking out against Charlie Kirk would make an utter mockery of his work and his death. It would be like banning LGBTQ groups in response to the assassination of Harvey Milk in 1978.

Charlie Kirk wanted unfettered debate. He wanted people to be able to express themselves regardless of how the majority felt about their views. He was the victim, not the advocate, of cancel campaigns.

There are instances where hateful views may raise grounds for termination. A secret service agent is under investigation after dismissing the assassination. Given the need to protect conservative as well as liberal figures (including those in the current administration), the bias in the postings can raise legitimate grounds for inquiry.

Likewise, those who use their official, academic, or corporate positions to espouse hateful messages risk termination.

However, many of these individuals were speaking as individuals outside of their positions, and their hateful commentary is not necessarily compromising or conflicting with their positions.

Hate speech in the United States is protected speech. The crackdown on speech deemed hateful, inflammatory, or intolerant has been the signature of the left, the very thing that Charlie campaigned against.

It is never easy to show restraint when you are angry or grieving. After all, many of those objecting to these cases today were silent or supported crackdowns on conservatives for years on and off campuses. They lack any self-awareness or shame in demanding protections that they rarely extend to others with opposing views. That is the value of an age of rage. It gives you license to silence and attack others for their views while insisting that you are the real victim.

However, we cannot become those we have long fought against in the free speech community. More importantly, we cannot become those whom Charlie fought against up to the very moment of his murder. We honor his legacy by protecting the thing that Charlie cherished the most. We need to “Stand with Charlie” and support free speech.

The mainstream media has wasted no time twisting the assassination of Charlie Kirk into something it never was. Instead of acknowledging the brutal reality—that left-wing hatred and ideology drove a radicalized young man to pull the trigger—they’ve started painting it as some sort of tragic love story. This is the same tired playbook we’ve seen before: when the killer fits their side of the political aisle, the motive magically becomes “emotional” rather than ideological.

Montel Williams’ Gaslighting on CNN

Montel Williams, who hasn’t been relevant in decades, resurfaced on CNN to provide cover for the left. His claim? The shooter wasn’t politically motivated but rather “emotionally” driven because of a relationship. That’s not just tone-deaf—it’s disgusting. To suggest this murder wasn’t political when the shooter literally etched leftist slogans into bullet casings is beyond dishonest. It’s gaslighting, pure and simple, and it insults the intelligence of every American who’s paying attention.

Scott Jennings Brings the Receipts

Thankfully, Scott Jennings didn’t let that narrative slide. He reminded everyone of the killer’s own words: “I can’t stand this hate anymore. I’m going to take Charlie Kirk out.” He pointed to the evidence etched on bullet casings and the testimony of family members who confirmed the shooter had embraced radical left-wing ideology. Jennings was clear—the crime wasn’t born out of some teenage heartbreak. It was fueled by the poison the left has been spewing against conservatives for years.

Left-Wing Radicalism in Plain Sight

For over a decade, the left has labeled conservatives as fascists, bigots, and enemies of humanity. This rhetoric doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it breeds hate, it radicalizes people, and in this case, it ended in assassination. The shooter waited for the word “trans” to be spoken before he pulled the trigger. That wasn’t random. That was ideological conditioning manifesting in violence. To deny the political motive is to deny reality.

The Stakes Are Too High for Lies

Montel Williams’ attempt to shift the story away from politics is more than lazy punditry—it’s dangerous. By pretending this was an “emotional” tragedy instead of politically motivated violence, CNN and the left are giving cover to a movement that incites hatred against conservatives daily. Scott Jennings was right to call it out, and the rest of us must do the same. If we let the media spin this assassination into anything but what it was, we’re only ensuring that more violence will follow.

Trump’s nemesis Letitia James

Bad news for Big Tish.

Trump’s nemesis Letitia James built her career accusing him of fraud. Now she’s staring down mortgage fraud allegations of her own—and suddenly the “fraud fighter” looks more like the fraudster. Graphic: Courtroom gavel with a foreclosure sign.

Karma doesn’t knock. It kicks down the door. For years, New York Attorney General Letitia James strutted around as the self-appointed dragon slayer of Donald Trump, waving around lawsuits like trophies and branding herself the one who would finally end Trump’s career. But in a twist so ironic it belongs in a satire novel; James now finds herself on the wrong side of a fraud investigation. Yes, the same “fraud-buster” who dragged Trump through court for allegedly lying on valuations is now facing heat for her own false documents: mortgage fraud tied to her Virginia residence.

According to NewsbreakTrump officials are pushing for charges against her.

Investigators found that when James purchased her Virginia home in 2023, paperwork fraudulently listed the property as her “primary residence” when it wasn’t. That little box isn’t just paperwork fluff; lying about primary residency can drastically change mortgage terms and constitutes mortgage fraud. This wasn’t some clerical oops. This was lying for financial benefit—exactly the kind of dishonesty James used to try to bludgeon an innocent Trump.

And it wasn’t some random stranger filling out forms wrong. The documents came through under James’ name, via power of attorney signed through her own niece. Whether you stamp the pen yourself or hand the pen to family, the responsibility lies with you. That’s law 101. And the fact is, many people don’t believe the “niece” story.

Trump Retribution? No—Accountability

Her defenders scream this is political revenge. But let’s cut the nonsense. If an ordinary citizen lied on mortgage paperwork, they wouldn’t get an ABC News puff piece or cries of “weaponization”—they’d get indicted. Period.

ABC confirms that DOJ subpoenas have already been issued to James. When her defenders say “no clear evidence,” what they really mean is “we haven’t spun it enough yet.” Because at the end of the day, James got a financial benefit through fraudulent documentation—the definition of mortgage fraud. The fact that investigators are hesitating to indict tells you more about the rot in the justice system than about her innocence. The irony bites even harder when you recall James’ civil fraud case against Trump, where she paraded herself as crusader for truth. Laughable that any Democrat can get the word truth to roll off their tongue without having a seizure.

She built her political brand on promising to “get Trump.” She used her office as a political club, weaponizing the justice system against her enemies. Now the spotlight exposes her own corrupt dealings, and suddenly the system looks far less interested in speedy convictions. Funny how that works.

Hypocrisy on Display

James’ career is one long string of accusations, mugshot press conferences, and partisan grandstanding. She made “fraud” her middle name when she targeted Trump, painting him as the epitome of corruption. Yet now that she’s caught up in her own fraud scandal, her allies claim she’s the victim. The hypocrisy is so thick, you need a bulldozer to plow through it.

She wanted to make Trump the face of corruption. Now she’s turned herself into the poster child for the very fraud she claimed to oppose. The joke writes itself: Letitia “Fraud Fighter” James caught in (checks notes)… fraud.

Political Weaponization: Her Own Creation

The establishment whining about Trump’s “weaponization of justice” is laughable. Who was the pioneer of turning courtrooms into political battlegrounds? James. Her entire platform was about bringing down a political rival through lawfare. She normalized it, she celebrated it—until it cut the other way. Now she wants to cry foul? Too late. She set the precedent. Trump’s officials don’t even need to innovate here; they’re just flipping the playbook James invented back on her.

Bigger Picture

This entire saga reminds Americans that political witch hunts have a way of backfiring. When prosecutors become the prosecuted, it’s usually because they overplayed their hand, drank too much of their own propaganda, and thought they were untouchable.

Letitia James is not untouchable. She’s just another two-faced politician who abused her power to attack her enemies while thinking no one would notice her own sins. Well, people noticed. And subpoenas don’t just vanish.

The woman who tried to end Trump’s legacy may end up remembered not as the one who toppled Trump—but as the AG who blew up her own career with lies scribbled onto mortgage forms.
