The University Press of Kansas has published Jeff Kisseloff’s Rewriting History: A Fifty-Year Journey to Uncover the Truth About Alger Hiss (with a foreword by Tony Hiss). You may be thinking, what a perfect title for a book seeking to vindicate Alger Hiss! Or you may be thinking, that’s not a journey I am ever going to take in this lifetime! Or you may be thinking, you have got to be kidding me! Professor Harvey Klehr is the preeminent historian of American Communism. He has read Kisseloff’s book so that we don’t have to. In the current issue of Commentary he reviews it in “The big Kisseloff.” Thank you, Professor Klehr.

Axios has obtained recordings of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s October 8, 2023 interview of President Biden in the Biden version of the documents case. Marc Caputo and Alex Thompson introduce the four-minute audio clip below: “Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn’t have had, according to audio Axios obtained of his October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.” Caputo and Thompson observe in their summary: “The recordings appear to validate special counsel Robert Hur’s assertion
Nantucket Drug Bust

The limericks write themselves. The U.K. Daily Mail reports,
A suspected drug dealer caught up in Nantucket’s biggest ever coke bust has been defended by residents as ‘a person of high character working towards bettering himself.’
Locals came out in support of Francisco Fernandez Sanchez, 31, this week after police say they busted him with over 2.5 kg of cocaine alongside an array of drug paraphernalia and scales.
You will not be surprised to see that in the 2024 election, the islanders went for the Democrat by a 67-31 margin, an even wider Democratic advantage than seen in the rest of the Commonwealth.
His supporters describe Sanchez “as a man of high character
After years of cheering the ignoring of the law by Joe Biden – student loans, immigration, etc. – Democrats are now insisting that to enforce the law is to somehow break it…as long as it is being enforced against them. Not to get too hyperbolic, but this is how the Nazis acted, this is how the Taliban acted, of which the modern “progressive” Democrat Party are the direct descendants. Insisting they are above the law makes them the most dangerous political force in the country, if not the planet. They need to be held accountable.
This latest foray by Democrats to defecate on the Constitution happened

California governor and self-appointed heir apparent to the Democratic presidential nomination, Gavin Newsom, just moved so far to the right that he risks impeachment by his state's Democrat-dominated Assembly.
That's a joke, obviously. Democrats never impeach their own, even after they become liabilities; they just exile them to the political wilderness. You and I have spent the last week or so watching them attempting to do just that to a sitting Democrat senator, Pennsylvania's John Fetterman. If Republicans had the same ruthless instincts, John McCain’s last public appearance would’ve been around 1990 — on the side of a milk carton.
But I digress.
Despite the Democrats' continued, unconstitutional and preposterous lawfare, including their judge-shopping for leftist stooges who will do their bidding, President Trump is doing amazing things.
Sure, those crooked judges are delaying his agenda but, so far, this administration has been an astonishing success.
His tariffs have produced millions in revenue.
Inflation is down, grocery prices are down. Gas prices are down.
And most important of all, the Southern border has been closed. The horrific scenes of thousands of migrants entering the country day after day after day are over. The Biden administration’s fervent attempt to destroy the country via the invasion of third-world
After spending years helping cover up Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline, Russia collusion hoaxer and left-wing propagandist Jake Tapper is now trying to gaslight Americans into believing he had nothing to do with the media-wide scandal.
The CNN host spent Tuesday hawking his upcoming book on X, which promises readers an inside look at the Biden administration’s efforts to hide the Delaware Democrat’s “health issues” — efforts the media were more than happy to participate in. Despite his best attempts to feign innocence on the subject, Tapper was one of the main leftist hacks leading the media campaign to try and convince Americans that the doddering Biden on their television screens
The Party That Prays for Collapse

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Abraham Lincoln spoke those words in 1858, not as a metaphor, but as a warning.
The country was tearing along seams of ideology and morality. Lincoln saw it. He feared America could not endure as both a slave state and a free one. He was right.
But even then, Lincoln hoped the Union would stand. He didn’t root for secession or sabotage. He didn’t pray for Southern crops to fail or cities to burn to make his case. He confronted the moment of agony and clarity, defending a flawed system while preparing to save it from itself.
That’s what leadership once looked like.
Now, fast-forward 165 years.
Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. today issued a policy decision regarding the status of individuals who have passed away while on the permanently ineligible list. This issue has never been formally addressed by Major League Baseball, but an application filed by the family of Pete Rose has made it incumbent upon the Office of the Commissioner to reach a policy decision on this unprecedented issue in the modern era as Mr. Rose is the first person banned after the tenure of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to die while still on the ineligible list.
Joe Biden Was Senile? Who Knew?
13 replies
Who didn’t? I was on Australian television during the 2020 election campaign, and casually mentioned that Joe Biden was senile. Rita Panahi was startled and said, “Wait, what? Joe Biden is senile?” I explained that this was why he was running a basement campaign rather than putting on campaign events like Donald Trump did. It seemed obvious at the time.
Biden’s debility became increasingly clear over the four years of his term. The videos of Biden being unable to speak without a teleprompter, being unable to read a teleprompter, falling down, wandering about, speaking inappropriately in various ways, were legion.

An evil animal abuser who tortured animals including bunnies to death on YouTube has launched a GoFundMe to try and stop Donald Trump deporting her.
Anigar Monsee, 28, was convicted of felony animal cruelty on Wednesday and faces seven years behind bars - but is now playing the victim on her fundraiser.
'Hi, my name is Anigar Monsee, and I’m a single mother doing my best to raise my daughter on my own,' wrote Monsee, a Liberian national who now lives in Delaware.
'Right now, I’m facing the most terrifying moment of my life—I may be sent to jail or even deported over something I never imagined
Having ignored Joe Biden’s cognitive meltdown the last four years, Democrats and their media handmaidens are claiming that Donald Trump is “senile, nuts, or something worse,” as the Daily Beast put it.
“Is Trump losing his mind à la Biden,” asked the Hill last week, describing the president as lost in “a whirlwind of apparent senility.”
New Republic earlier this month reported unspecified “concerns over Trump’s cognitive decline since he first started to deliver weaving, nonsensical stump speeches on the presidential campaign trail.” When a barely lucid Biden stumbled around on stage and wandered off mid-sentence, they called it a “childhood stutter” and accused this newspaper of peddling “cheap fakes” and misinformation.

The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president.
Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year.
The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the sand at a beach using seashells.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe defended the church’s migration service refusing to resettle new migrants from South Africa and stated that “if you look at this decision, this is really about people who have jumped the line.”
Rowe said, “[L]ook at the thousands of people fleeing war and violence, people who are waking up dead around the world, people who have helped our military that are being left in camps on a daily basis while white Afrikaners have been fast-tracked. You’re right. It is about need. And if you look at this decision, this is really about people who have jumped the line.
New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen, who campaigned for Kamala Harris in 2024 and for every Democrat presidential nominee since John Kerry, had an epic show-long meltdown at the opening concert for his European tour in Manchester, England, Wednesday night over President Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the presidency.
Springsteen called Trump and his administration, “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous,” and an “unfit president and a rogue government,” among many criticisms.
Not a word by Springsteen about Trump working to bring good paying blue collar jobs back to America for the people whom Springsteen has made a career out of channeling their economic woes,
Undisclosed communication devices reportedly discovered in Chinese-manufactured solar panels and related equipment have sparked concerns among U.S. officials about the vulnerability of the nation’s power grid, according to a Reuters report. These “rogue” devices, found over the past nine months, could potentially destabilize energy infrastructure and trigger widespread blackouts, sources familiar with the matter told the outlet. The undocumented devices, including cellular radios, were identified in solar power inverters, batteries, electric vehicle chargers, and heat pumps produced by several Chinese suppliers.

Did former FBI Director James Comey call for the assassination of President Trump?
James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47”
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption. [Instagram]
Some interpreted Comey’s cryptic message as a serious threat. [Tweets]
It is no secret that James Comey despises President Trump.
Comey was fired as FBI Director by Trump in 2017 while he was leading an investigation into the president during his first term.
Shortly after the firing, it was revealed that James Comey penned several memos stemming from nine confidential conversations he had with President Trump.
Walmart to Raise Prices Because of Tariffs

Walmart said Thursday it plans to raise prices on some goods beginning later this month, in response to President Trump’s tariffs.
“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon is expected to say during a Thursday earnings call, according to prepared remarks obtained by several media outlets.
The U.S. and China agreed earlier this week to lower their respective reciprocal tariffs for 90 days as they look to end a bruising trade war
The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post.
If Comey refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service leading the investigation into the Instagram post can apply for a subpoena through an assistant U.S. attorney. It’s that prosecutor who will determine whether the former FBI director is legally required to answer their questions, and
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is pulling no punches in her view of the direct threat against President Donald Trump that has been made and promoted by former FBI Director James Comey.
Speaking to Fox News, Director Gabbard outlines that there is “no way” James Comey did not know what his threat post was about. Gabbard notes the “86 47” phrase has been circulating the far-left for several months and Mr Comey is well aware what it means. Director Gabbard says in her view the former FBI director should be arrested and put behind bars. WATCH:
A 19-year-old former Michigan Army National Guardsman was arrested on May 13 after he attempted to carry out a plan for a mass shooting at a U.S. military base in Warren, Michigan, on behalf of ISIS, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ announced in a statement that Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, of Melvindale, a community near Dearborn, has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and distributing information related to a destructive device.
“The arrest of this former soldier is a sobering reminder of the importance of our counterintelligence efforts to identify and disrupt those who would seek to harm our nation,”
Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post is commiserating with wealthy restaurant owners who are trying to shield their lower-wage, illegal migrant workers from President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal migration.
“Owners or operators of four restaurants confirmed to the Washington Post that they had lost employees, whether permanently or temporarily, since DHS agents visited last week,” the newspaper reported.
“If they want to go by the [law] book, there is not many restaurants left in D.C.,” said Luis Reyes, a former illegal migrant from El Salvador who is now the co-owner of a restaurant visited by ICE. He added:
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), during a Wednesday House Appropriations Committee hearing, used her time for questioning Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to stick it to whitey and the Trump Administration in a nasty race-baiting rant.
Coleman is one of the three Democratic congressmembers who stormed the Delaney Hall Detention Center in New Jersey last week.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, ICE bodycam footage that was released over the weekend shows Rep. LaMonica McIver verbally abusing and physically assaulting federal agents at the ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. Rep. Bob Menendez and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka were also involved in the lawlessness.
On Wednesday, she got defiant once again
As we reported, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, fired two officials on the National Intelligence Council: Mike Collins, the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, according to senior intelligence officials.
Gabbard also moved the agency under her office so she could block any "politicization of intelligence."
The execrable former CIA head John Brennan had a meltdown when he was asked by MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace about the situation. Look at how angry he is and the wild blinking. "This whole thing just makes me livid," he ranted.

Alger Hiss was guilty. Reading Whittaker Chambers' haunting 800-page Witness was quite an experience. Important history told by a great writer. Weinstein's book is also excellent.
