Classified Information
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/16/2025 6:10:20 PM
Former U.S. national security adviser John Bolton is being indicted for allegedly mishandling classified information by sharing it on a private email server. A federal grand jury indicted Bolton in Maryland on 18 counts of illegally hoarding or sending national security information. He faces up to 10 years in prison for each count of the indictment. The indictment comes two months after federal agents raided Bolton’s home and Washington, D.C., office to find evidence for the case.

After a U.S.-led campaign, the United Nations has postponed a vote on a proposal to impose the world’s first global carbon tax on shipping, delaying the decision by one year.
The rule was expected to come up for a vote this week as part of the U.N. International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) "Net-Zero Framework." But a majority of member nations voted to defer it after failing to reach consensus amid U.S. opposition.
Backed by the European Union and Brazil, the plan seeks to raise billions from carriers that exceed new emissions limits, channeling the revenue toward climate adaptation and clean-fuel projects in developing nations.

President Trump revealed Friday that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has "offered everything" to persuade the United States to back off amid escalating American strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats.
Trump shocked reporters during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when he was asked about Maduro's attempts to offer mediation. Not so much for the content of his response, but for how he delivered it.
The President offered an expletive-laced frank assessment of the dictator's attempts to get him and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to take their foot off the gas in disrupting narco-terrorists' operations.
A reporter questioned Trump regarding Maduro's overtures.
“It’s been reported, Mr. President
Rep. John James (R-Mich.) now holds the best position of any GOP candidate to potentially flip the governorship in Michigan from blue to red in the 2026 election, according to new polling data. If James actually wins next year, the state’s political landscape would shift seismically, providing further evidence that the country as a whole is shifting away from Democrat policies. It's a win that would bode well for other GOP and MAGA candidates running for other offices at various levels of government as well.
The Plymouth Union Public (PUP) Research survey shows James leading the general election field and crushing a crowded crop of candidates in the primary.
Until now, the conventional wisdom on the midterm elections has been cautionary -- for Republicans. The party holding the White House generally loses ground anyway. The dramatic shifts in policy under Donald Trump would likely make voters skittish, analysts warned, and a lackluster economic environment provided even more reason for pessimism. And for a while, polls showed a grim picture for the GOP in next year's contests.
Well, hold the phone. Polls have shifted over the last six months, CNN forecaster Harry Enten warns -- or more to the point, the polls haven't shifted at all. Democrats haven't picked up any new support during Trump's presidency, falling off the pace
The four-star Navy admiral in command of all U.S. military forces in South and Central America, including the Caribbean Sea, will retire later this year after less than a year on the job.
Adm. Alvin Holsey, a Navy pilot who led U.S. Southern Command in the early stages of the burgeoning targets against the region's drug cartels directed at Venezuela, "plans to retire at year's end," according to an X post by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth praised Holsey's "37 years of distinguished service," which also included a tour as U.S. Southern Command's deputy commander. He took over "SOUTHCOM" in November 2024.
President Donald Trump said that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a lengthy phone call on Thursday to meet in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss how to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Trump also said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other ‘High Level Advisors’ will meet next week with their Russian counterparts to lay the groundwork for his summit with Putin. Trump did not say when he expects to meet with Putin. Trump detailed his call with Putin in a Truth Social post.

The Trump administration quietly authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela, granting the agency lethal authority as part of an escalating campaign to oust President Nicolás Maduro.
The move marks a sharp escalation in the administration’s campaign to oust Maduro, whom it has labeled a “narcoterrorist.” It follows weeks of U.S. military strikes on boats off Venezuela’s coast allegedly involved in drug trafficking, which have killed 27 people. Officials say the ultimate goal is regime change.
Newsweek reached out to the White House and the CIA for comment on Wednesday afternoon.
Caracas: At least two American B-52 aircraft have been reported flying over the Caribbean region for some time and heading toward Venezuela, amid US tensions with the country.
The two aircraft briefly disappeared from air tracking sites, then reappeared as they continued flying south, as per Flightradar24.
Multiple reports have surfaced on X claiming that B-52 aircraft are moving toward Venezuela, raising speculation over whether the US is planning another strike.
This comes after Donald Trump, on Tuesday, announced that the United States struck a small boat, accusing it of carrying drugs in waters off Venezuela, killing six people.
A new survey of published polling data by Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom and an adjunct fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, shows a nearly 50% drop in the number of college students who identify as transgender. Kaufmann believes the data shows the gender identity trend is going "out of fashion."
The surveys include polls from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) poll, which samples more than 50,000 students each year, and the Higher Education Research Institute’s (HERI) annual freshman survey.
ou have to hand it to President Donald Trump.
Joe Biden, the person who occupied the Oval Office before Trump, seemed barely coherent most of the time. He was constantly ducking the media and needed note cards to deal with even the simplest questions. Even then, it would always be uncertain whether he could answer, even though the media was largely favorable to him.
In contrast, Trump and his team have to put up with a constantly hostile media, yet they're always answering questions and being transparent, even when they aren't treated fairly.

Is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) going to retire? Townhall has been hearing whispers from some senior Democratic sources that the longtime New York Senator could be retiring from public life for numerous reasons, not least being that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) could make good on her move to primary him. Now, AOC venturing outside the state could be an early move to consolidate her national constituency for a 2028 presidential run, which she could do, but she has options. And this seat is gettable for her: Schumer is not well-liked among Democratic voters, and his fundraising has been abysmal.
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Jew-hater who has repeatedly demonstrated over the last decade his hatred for Israel; his support for Hamas; and even his support for a “global intifada,” which, by extension, includes the destruction of the United States as we know it. And yet, according to recent polls, 43% of New York Jews are supporting him, including 67% of Jewish voters between the ages of 18 and 44.
This is analogous to black voters voting for former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke (who ran for president in 1992). How is it even possible for these Jewish New Yorkers to be supporting

As you've heard, there is a governor's race in Virginia. It looked like an easy victory for the Democrats a few weeks ago, and then some texts surfaced and things changed. It's a lot more competitive, and the Democrats are sending former President Obama to the rescue:
Former President Barack Obama is endorsing Democratic former Rep. Abigail Spanberger in the Virginia governor's race and starring in two new digital ads for her campaign.
"Virginia's elections are some of the most important in the country this year," Obama says in both ads, shared first with NBC News, which focus on the economy and abortion rights.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday went off on White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt while talking about political violence and recent controversies in connection with the Republican Party.
“We’ve already seen a rise in political violence and hatred in America, and then you’ve got swastikas apparently appearing in the offices of Republican members of Congress,” Jeffries told reporters on Capitol Hill. “You’ve got Young Republicans engaging in the most antisemitic and racist speech possible.” Jefferies said Republicans “are ripping the sheets off” before turning his attention to President Trump’s press secretary. And then you’ve got Karoline Leavitt, who’s sick; she’s out of control,” Jeffries continued. “I’m not sure

The “moral equivalent of war” is often used to elevate an otherwise non-threatening event into an existential threat. But today, the U.S. and indeed, all of Western civilization, faces a very real existential threat, one equal to war: the global collapse of fertility and families.
In country after country, the stark, awful news emerges on a nearly daily basis: birth rates are plunging as women disengage from traditional marriage and family life, and young men do the same.
The U.S. is no exception.
Last year, the U.S. fertility rate plunged to an all-time low of 1.6 children per woman, a rate roughly 24% below the 2.1 children required j

President Donald Trump on Thursday warned Hamas “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if internal bloodshed persists in Gaza.
The grim warning from Trump came after he previously downplayed the internal violence in the territory since a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect last week in the two-year war.
Trump later clarified he won’t send U.S. troops into Gaza after launching the threat against Hamas.
“It’s not going to be us,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily,
University presidents aren’t Donald Trump

Former Secretary of Education, Senator and university president, Lamar Alexander, declared in the Wall Street Journal that “Donald Trump Isn’t a University President.”
The old-school political insider and prior university administrator, goes on to criticize President Trump’s “Compact for Higher Education,” which would establish a national board of trustees for the 6,000 universities and colleges across the United States.
Mr. Alexander tells readers that this will have the apparently distasteful consequence of establishing admissions guidelines, managing university costs, creating testing standards for faculty competence and hiring, and setting criteria for international student admissions. He asserts that this is an example of federal overreach.

If the X platform hadn't been messing with my algorithms of late, I might have missed this. But thanks to Elon Musk’s sometimes quirky social media platform, I was treated this afternoon to non-stop reposts from leftists all featuring the same 20-second clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Fox News. This clip is blowing up my feed, and all of the posters are outraged Democrats.The clip was brought to us by none other than Aaron Rupar, who has a reputation for sitting at his computer all day looking for conservative media hits to take out of context and post to social media.

During his campaign to secure the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, Joe Biden infamously told the leftist co-hosts of ABC’s The View that, “from the beginning,” he believed Anita Hill’s unsubstantiated allegations of sexual harassment against now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
“Not only didn’t I vote for Clarence Thomas, I believed [Hill] from the beginning. I was against Clarence Thomas, I did everything in my power to defeat Clarence Thomas and he won by the smallest margin anyone ever won going on the Supreme Court,” Biden said in the 2019 interview.

Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I., Vt.) campaign spent $78,371 chartering private jets between July and September, according to federal campaign finance disclosures it submitted Wednesday. Just a few hours later, Sanders lamented that the United States is "increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society," during a CNN town hall.
It continues the campaign's pattern of spending lavishly on private air travel. During the six months prior, Friends of Bernie Sanders spent more than $450,000 chartering jets. Sanders has been unapologetic about his use of private jets. Sanders scoffed when Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked him about a Washington Free Beacon report highlighting his spending on private jets
