Retribution, Unfinished Business, or Something Else?
Posted By: 4250Luis, 8/24/2025 5:43:07 AM
This week the FBI conducted a seven- or eight-hour raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s home and his office. (Unlike raids such as those the Biden administration conducted against Trump, his employees, advisors, and associates, no press was alerted and engaged, so reports are from bystanders who videotaped it on their cell phones.) Is the raid on John Bolton’s home retribution? Revival of a dormant case against him for mishandling national security? Something more sinister?

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller told reporters Monday that the Trump administration has uncovered a “massive scandal” in Washington D.C. involving the doctoring of crime statistics.
He said the alleged corruption is currently under investigation and said details of the corruption will soon be brought to light.
“The results will stun you,” he said.
Miller made the remarks in the Oval Office after President Trump signed a slew of new executive orders to end cashless bail throughout the United States and in the District of Columbia, prosecute the burning of the American flag, and additional measures to address crime in Washington D.C.
The 2024 election season featured an unprecedented number of Asian Americans, from Vivek Ramaswamy’s rise in the Republican primary to soon-to-be second lady Usha Vance, to the Democratic candidate herself, Kamala Harris. Just a few years ago, this would have been a cause for celebration on the political left: Asian Americans have reliably voted for Democrats for decades. But the election results revealed that racial and ethnic minorities are not as loyal to the Democratic Party as previously believed. Much like Hispanics, Asian American voters made a major shift to the right.
Nationally, 2020 and 2024 exit polls from the Washington Post show a 9-point shift-
We often think of American universities as either public or private. Public universities are those that are effectively owned by a governmental entity, almost always a state. Private universities, at least the respectable ones, are nonprofit corporations, controlled by trustees who appoint a president as chief executive officer to run the university. We imagine that the president is responsible to the trustees, the trustees are responsible to nobody but themselves, and the university’s faculty has academic freedom and, as long as it avoids a few live wires, is accountable to nobody. Students, meanwhile, are treated as customers and temporary residents,
week ago, I was writing about Donald Trump’s summit meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska to talk about ending Russia’s war with Ukraine. A few days before that, I wrote about the Trump administration’s announcement that it would conduct a thorough “internal review” of the Smithsonian Institution and its vast network of museums, research centers, and related activities. It turns out that when Trump ordered the elimination of DEI initiatives, he meant it. In recent years, the Smithsonian has gradually morphed from an institution for the “increase & diffusion of knowledge among men” into a woke repository of progressive, anti-American shibboleths. Among other things, the colonoscopy-
Russia’s top diplomat says Zelensky
can’t sign Ukraine war peace deal because
he’s ‘illegitimate’ 6 replies
can’t sign Ukraine war peace deal because
he’s ‘illegitimate’ 6 replies
Russian leader Vladimir Putin cannot not sign a peace deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky because Moscow views him as “illegitimate,” Moscow’s top diplomat said Sunday.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made the declaration in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” suggesting that Putin will not be able to make an agreement with him.
Lavrov also threw up yet another roadblock to direct talks between Putin and Zelensky, saying that Russia has an “agenda” in mind that must to be agreed before the two sides can sit down together.
“There is no meeting planned,” Lavrov told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
President Donald Trump wants to stop the killing in Ukraine, but Russia’s foot-dragging is making it abundantly clear that he’ll need to apply far more pressure before any serious negotiations can begin.
To do so, Trump will have to squeeze Russia’s primary source of income, its oil revenues — without upending the global energy market in the process.
In an interview that aired Sunday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rejected US-backed security guarantees for Ukraine and balked at Trump’s push for direct talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Putin insists that Ukrainian forces withdraw from the Kyiv-controlled parts of the country’s eastern Donbas region —
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was ridiculed Tuesday for noting Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s race while blasting President Trump for trying to fire her over mortgage fraud claims — with critics arguing, “Who gives a flying fruitcake what color she is?”
Jeffries, a Democrat from New York, specifically pointed to Cook as being the “first black woman” ever to serve on the Fed’s governing body when accusing Trump of trying to oust her “without a shred of credible evidence that she has done anything wrong.
“To the extent anyone is unfit to serve in a position of responsibility because of deceitful and potentially criminal conduct,
Court tosses lawsuit by Trump against

Maryland federal judges, calling it ‘potentially calamitous’ 13 replies
A federal judge on Tuesday threw out the Trump administration’s lawsuit against Maryland’s entire federal bench in an emphatic ruling that underscored the extraordinary nature of the suit, slamming it as “potentially calamitous.”
U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen, who was nominated by President Donald Trump, also criticized the administration’s attacks on the judiciary, highlighting in a footnote that White House officials in recent months had described judges as “rogue,” “unhinged” and “crooked,” among other epithets.
Starting to lift the lid off a far, far larger scam, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just nixed $7 billion in “advance payments” that Biden administration staffers aimed to divert to a “nonprofit” controlled by other Democratic insiders.
The bigger scam being, of course, how the left (and lots of plain-old Dem machines) feeds off government-funded “charities.”
It’s a huge part of the “swamp,” though of course its denizens pretend their motives don’t reek. In this case, the Bidenites were in too much of a hurry to make the theft fully legal: After President Donald Trump’s victory last November,

President Trump claimed Sunday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could bring the nation’s war with Russia to a halt “almost immediately,” if he’s willing to make two major concessions.
Trump called for Ukraine to drop its bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), a demand long held by Russia, and also said there would be “no getting back” Crimea – signaling to the nation to accept Russia’s illegal 2014 annexation of the region during the Obama administration.
“President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight. Remember how it started.
Bolivia’s presidential election will go to a runoff for the first time, with two rightwing candidates competing for the presidency – marking the end of nearly 20 years of dominance by the leftist Movimiento al Socialismo (Mas).
The candidate with the most votes, however, turned out to be a surprise: centre-right senator Rodrigo Paz Pereira, 57, who had started the campaign with just 3% support in opinion polls.
In second came Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga, 65, a rightwing former president who briefly led the country in 2001 after the resignation of ex-dictator Hugo Banzer.

The deranged gunman who slaughtered two children and injured at least 17 others who were attending morning mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has been identified — as a disturbing video believed to have been posted by the shooter shows “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines.
Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Police are investigating whether a series of sick YouTube videos shared on an account hours before the shooting was connected to Westman, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The Minneapolis Police Department confirmed an active shooter allegedly opened fire at a church on the south side of Minneapolis Wednesday.
Details are scarce but an army of police and paramedics arrived at Annunciation Church, 509 W. 54th Street. Sources confirmed for KARE 11's Lou Raguse that there is an active shooter situation unfolding at the church. KARE 11 has multiple crews headed to the scene and will have the latest on the situation and victims.
President Donald Trump called for leftist billionaire and mega-donor George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, to be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act due to their financial support of violent protesters in the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Soros and “his group of psychopaths” of causing “great damage” to the United States. Trump added that his administration would not “allow these lunatics to rip apart America” any longer.

We need to mark this one freeze frame, this digital data point in time, as that moment leftist lunacy was fully exposed in its utter moral collapse.
We think we've seen it before in the election losses, the USAID money laundering scandal, the cheating vote counters, the Beria school of malpractice at the Justice Department, and cheering for criminals. However, this moment, this snapshot, says it all.Like a controlled demolition of an old relic of a building, the scene in a Mexican restaurant captured on video showed a piece-by-piece, trope-by-trope implosion of the leftist superstructure built on the foundation of bigotry, lunacy, and hearsay.
Fox News anchor John Roberts revealed he will be away from the news desk as he battles a severe case of malaria.
Roberts, 68, announced his diagnosis on Tuesday after viewers noticed he was not on the airwaves during his 1pm America Reports time slot.
'I somehow came down with a severe case of Malaria,' the veteran anchor wrote on X.'I can honestly say that I am the only person in the hospital with Malaria. In fact, one of my doctors said I'm the first case he has ever seen.'
One reason that many Republican voters took a shine to Donald Trump in 2016 was the way he showed no respect to the national chattering classes of the Democrat-media complex. George W. Bush was a kinder, gentler Republican -- and they compared him to Hitler. No matter which flavor of Republican was elected, the "objective" media savaged him.
We've reached the 20th anniversary of deadly Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico, which killed an estimated 1,836 Americans. But misinformation landed first. NBC and MSNBC tremendously hyped Democrat Mayor Ray Nagin's "Today" show estimate of 10,000 dead in New Orleans.
The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning.
Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together.
In March 2023, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) stood in front of cameras and made a bold promise: 1,200 taxpayer-funded "tiny homes" would be deployed across the state by that fall to combat the exploding homelessness crisis. The cost? A staggering $750 million from California taxpayers. However, as we approach fall 2025, neither the 1,200 homes nor any trace of the $750 million can be found.
This is California under Democrat control: big promises, bloated budgets, and nothing to show for it.
ST. LOUIS – Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office drew attention to St. Louis over the weekend in a series of social media posts comparing murder rates in California cities to cities in states led by Republican governors. One post specifically compared St. Louis to Oakland, California, stating “St. Louis’ murder rate is a staggering 190% higher than Oakland’s. Do you think Fox [News] will cover that?” The post included a graphic with FBI-cited homicide rates per 100,000 residents, alongside an image of the Oakland Fox Theater and Republican Missouri U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley. According to Nexstar San Francisco
St. Lucie County, Fl. - New Mexico State Police today released body cam video showing HarjinderSingh speaking limited English with a state trooper who pulled him over for speeding in July.
After days of speculation over how much English Singh understands, the fact that Singh was speaking English, however limited, represents a major development in the case.
Singh remains in the St. Lucie County Jail without bond after investigators say he made an illegal U-turn in his semi-truck on Florida's Turnpike on Aug. 12, resulting in a crash that killed three people in a minivan. Singh used a translator in his court appearance.
Britain's Royal Air Force scrambled spy planes as it joined NATO in a huge hunt for a Russian submarine suspected of threatening a US aircraft carrier off Norway.
In what defence sources are calling a 'highly unusual surge' of activity, NATO allies have deployed at least 27 specialist submarine-hunting sorties since Sunday in an urgent bid to track the vessel.
The operation, which insiders insist is not a drill, comes as the USS Gerald R. Ford - the most advanced and expensive aircraft carrier in the world, worth around £11 billion, carries out exercises with the Norwegian Navy in Arctic waters.
The biggest, boldest lie of every welfare state is that the goods and services it is providing to its citizens are "free." Those of us with brain cells and an aversion to lying know that this is not only untrue, but also impossible. Politicians are fond of throwing taxpayer dollars around like drunk Kennedy cousins on summer break in Monte Carlo in order to make voters love them. Despite being full-throated advocates for "sustainability" when it comes to almost anything else, socialist welfare state types are committed to an economic system that simply cannot go on forever. In the immortal words of the late, great Margaret Thatcher:
