A federal judge ordered the Department of Justice to release grand jury documents to attorneys working for former FBI Director James Comey. “[T]he Court finds the record in this case requires the full disclosure of grand jury materials,” wrote U.S. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick. He argued that “government misconduct may have tainted the grand jury proceedings,” and as a result, “disclosure of grand jury materials under these unique circumstances is necessary to fully protect the rights of the accused.” Fitzpatrick noted that the decision is an “extraordinary remedy.”

Kennedy Center president Ric Grenell and Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island are clashing over the center's spending and operations records, after Trump allies were appointed to key roles at the Kennedy Center earlier this year, and President Trump was elected chairman of the board.In a letter to Grenell, Whitehouse said that under Grenell's stewardship, "The Center is being looted to the tune of millions of dollars in foregone revenue, cancelled programming, unpaid use of its facilities, and wasteful spending on luxury restaurants and hotels." He called it "an unprecedented pattern of self-dealing, favoritism, and waste."

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia announced on X Friday she will resign from Congress early next year, after a weekslong falling-out with President Trump and much of her party.
Her last day will be Jan. 5, 2026, Greene said.
In a statement, the hard-right congresswoman expressed frustration with her party and with the change of pace in Congress, writing that GOP leadership had refused to work on addressing health care costs, and bills that she drafted on immigration and other issues had sat "collecting dust." She said the "legislature has been mostly sidelined."
Earlier this week, the American people were “reliably” informed by the left-wing press that the full grand jury that indicted disgraced former FBI Director James Comey did not see the final indictment.
“Judge grills government over apparent lapses in Comey indictment,” ABC News’ Peter Charalambous, Alexander Mallin, Katherine Faulders, and Nicholas Kerr wrote on November 19. According to the quartet, U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan “told a judge … that the full grand jury that indicted Comey did not see the final indictment — only the foreperson and another grand juror did.” (snip)The only problem?
It’s not true.
A bicameral group of Republicans in Congress is grilling James Boasberg, the U.S. district chief judge for Washington, D.C., on his decision to allow lawfare activist Jack Smith to spy on the Senate, offering him the “opportunity to explain yourself publicly” for a decision that almost certainly violated federal law.
As The Federalist reported, Boasberg approved a scheme under the Department of Justice’s Arctic Frost weaponization against Republicans in which Smith could subpoena the phone records of House and Senate Republicans and attach a nondisclosure order (NDO) so that the congressional bodies could not find out about it from the telecommunications providers being subpoenaed.

Pennsylvania will lose $75 million in federal roads funds unless it gets into compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) licensing requirements for non-domiciled commercial learner’s permits (CLP) and non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDL). That is according to an alarming letter DOT sent Wednesday to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll and Gov. Josh Shapiro.
The threatened loss of funding comes on the heels of the recent Kansas arrest of an illegal alien wanted in Uzbekistan for belonging to a terrorist organization, according to ICE. As The Federalist previously reported, the alleged terrorist Akhror Bozorov was issued a non-domiciled CDL in Pennsylvania.

When Europe goes to war with Russia, they will not require the military to fill out customs declarations as they cross borders within the EU.
Tanks, missiles, artillery and most combat weapons could be exempt from EU customs declarations if the plan by Brussels moves forwardAdditionally, under the proposal most drivers of military equipment may even be permitted to exceed the limits on driving times and rest periods, should the fight against Russia require extended physical effort.
The newly proposed objective is to empower European soldiers to make independent decisions without having to fill out the customary paperwork, requiring prior approval from the European Commission before affixing their bayonets.
ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The Justice Department said in court on Nov. 19 that the full grand jury in former FBI Director James Comey’s case never saw the final indictment used to charge him, an issue Comey’s attorney described as fatal to the prosecution.
The revelation was made amid scrutiny of the grand jury proceedings, but this particular hearing was focused on Comey’s argument that the prosecution should be dismissed as vindictive and unconstitutional.
After some argument about the motion, Judge Michael Nachmanoff of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia asked Justice Department attorney Tyler Lemons for further details about the indictment.
The Trump administration has done an admirable job of stopping border crossings by illegals since taking control of the executive branch in January, but as many Americans who voted for President Donald Trump know, stopping those people is only half the battle.
The other half is efficient and effective mass deportations to the tune of 1 million per monthThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced in late October that more than 2 million illegals had left the country, most of whom self-deported, while DHS forcibly removed 500,000. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the Trump administration was on pace to deport 600,000 by the end of Trump’s first year back in office.
Appeals Court Sides With CNN Over Trump
7 replies
A panel of appeals court judges on Nov. 18 upheld a ruling against President Donald Trump in a case he brought against CNN.
Trump did not adequately show that CNN defamed him when it reported that he promoted what it described as the “Big Lie” when challenging results from the 2020 presidential election, judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit concluded.
Trump said that the phrase was intended to link him to Adolf Hitler and propaganda used by the Nazis in Germany, but the term is ambiguous enough to cast doubt on that allegation, according to the new ruling.
President Trump has often remarked that the originating charter for the United Nations could well have served a mission for global peace and stability, were it not for the influence of bastardized small-minded politics and corruption that comes with itYesterday, the U.N Security Council voted to support President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, despite the significant hurdles that remain. The U.N. vote was needed by several nations who have expressed a willingness to send military as part of the international stabilization force.VIA President Trump – “Congratulations to the World on the incredible Vote of the United Nations Security Council, just moments ago, acknowledging and endorsing the BOARD OF PEACE,
President Trump has continually said he’s sick and tired of this Epstein nonsense, from his perspective “a hoax’, taking attention away from priorities to make the U.S. economy thrive, energy independence and structural changes to the global economy putting America-First.(snip)Keep in mind Epstein said multiple times there just wasn’t anything he could provide anyone who was trying to target Donald Trump; Epstein had nothing.
And once again, President Trump is dragged back into this nonsense narrative by foolish sheeple on the MAGA side who have the insufferable pre-programmed disposition to fall for the professionally republican psyops every time.

It’s another day ending in “y,” so it’s another day when a federal judge jumps in to thwart the Trump administration.
On Monday, Judge Cameron McGowan Currie tossed the cases against Former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling that Attorney General Pam Bondi's appointment of Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. The Department of Justice is almost certain to appeal the ruling. Meanwhile, the case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning the charges could still be refiled, although in the case of Comey, that may be in doubt given that the statute of limitations has since run.
Officials with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reportedly said Thursday the man who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, acted alone. The FBI’s conclusion came after an intense and global investigation wherein authorities said they left no stone unturned, Fox News reported Friday. The outlet interviewed FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and a senior official who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of his work.[snip] the president was satisfied with the results and where we left it,” Patel said.
First, I am not a doctor, but I have medical experience in Respiratory Therapy. When the COVID-19 “Flu” emerged, I knew that an effective vaccine could not have been manufactured and tested effectively in that amount of time. I also knew that the 6-foot distancing rule was nothing more than political and social theatre. The mask fiasco was not only unnecessary, but it created more problems than it solved. Rebreathing damp, contaminated carbon dioxide-laden (CO2) air can lead to hypercapnia and even hypoxia. For these reasons, neither my better half nor I received the jab or ever wore a mask, and when we did experience the COVID “flu,” it lasted
A controversial Muslim building project in northern Texas is rebranding as the apparent attempt to build a town based on Islam draws national attention. Collin County Judge Chris Hill posted via Facebook on Nov. 8 that the project known as “EPIC City” is now called “The Meadow.” Development Group Community Capital Partners, also known as CCP, is submitting new construction and city planning blueprints for Collin County to evaluate. "CCP is the company behind EPIC City, an Islamic-focused community planned near Josephine, Texas, in Collin and Hunt Counties,” Hill wrote.
The 26-year-old woman who cops said was set on fire by a lunatic with a lengthy rap sheet on a Chicago L train earlier this month has been identified as Bethany MaGee.
“It is devastating that a career criminal with 72 PRIOR ARRESTS is now accused of attacking 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on Chicago’s L train, and setting her on fire,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on social media Sunday.
“This would never have happened if this thug had been behind bars. Yet Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the streets,” Duffy said of suspect Lawrence Reed, 50, who is facing federal terrorism charges in connection with the senseless fire attack.
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani doubled down Sunday on his claim that President Trump is a “fascist” and “despot” — but says he can still work with him.
“That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today,” Mamdani told NBC’s “Meet the Press” when asked whether he still views Trump as a fascist.
The socialist pol said he’s eager to work with Trump because they agreed that the Big Apple needs to be more affordable at their surprisingly chummy meeting Friday.
“What I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement,” he said. “
The Evils of Capitalism

It ain’t so much the things we don’t know that
— Mark Twain (attributed) What’s the one thing everyone knows about capitalism? Why, that it started out as a mean, nasty tool of greedy industrialists, of course. “The Industrial Revolution,” we all learned, was a terrible Moloch that devoured children, put profits before people, and, though it made great fortunes (or, perhaps, partly because it made great fortunes), was a wicked development. The Industrial Revolution, we’ve all been taught, was the original sin of capitalism, necessary, perhaps, to prime the engine of economic progress, but lamentable nevertheless.
A Long Island neurosurgeon who has the misfortune to be named Dr Jeffrey Epstein has an ingenious idea for how he might respond to Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett after she confused him with the notorious sex offender of the same name.
“I think that I should contribute money to Jasmine Crockett and then let everybody know that she also took money from Jeffrey Epstein,” the physician joked to The New York Post.
Crockett threatened on the floor of the House of Representatives Tuesday that she was “gonna expose it all” after discovering that “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein” had donated to the campaign of the former New York Republican congressman Lee Zeldin,
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is laying down the law for Bill and Hillary Clinton: show up in person for depositions in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, or face prison.
Comer warned the former president and his twice-failed presidential candidate wife that dodging these subpoenas with written answers will not cut it—it's a clear no-go, and could invite contempt of Congress charges.
Originally subpoenaed in August, the Clintons asked their lawyer to request that the committee accept written statements rather than require them to sit for live depositions. Their attorney, David Kendall, claimed that written answers would be the “most efficient and equitable” approach.
Comer shot that down.
In 2018, as California was laying the groundwork to build a new 911 system for the state, a massive fire ripped through Butte County, decimating several Northern California communities and killing over 80 people.
The devastating Camp Fire, which wiped out cell towers and hampered emergency communication during critical hours, was on everyone’s minds as the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services worked to design the state’s future emergency communication system. Between 2019 and 2025, California paid four technology companies over $450 million to build out its Next Generation 911 system, But when the time came to turn that system on, it didn’t work.
Eric Swalwell Wants to ‘Max Out Democracy’

Eric Swalwell sometimes flies under the radar among members of Congress who operate daily with a double-digit IQ. Often, it's members of the so-called Squad who earn that accolade. They get the spotlight, and rightly so.
But the congressman proves his mettle time and time again, spitting out ideas indicating he's clearly two beers short of a six-pack.
Swalwell, the Democrat Representative who has served California's 14th congressional district, recently announced he was jumping into the Golden State's gubernatorial race. He announced his laughable campaign with the less humorous Jimmy Kimmel because, of course.
Things got infinitely funnier when, speaking with CNN over the weekend, Swalwell

The Department of War has opened a probe into “serious allegations of misconduct” against Sen. Mark Kelly that could result in court-martial proceedings, just days after President Trump accused him of seditious behavior.
Without providing details of what offenses Kelly (D-Ariz.), a retired Navy captain, is accused of committing, the Department of War vowed to conduct a “thorough review.”
“This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality,” the Department of War said. “All service members are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ [Uniform Code of Military Justice] to obey lawful orders
