Judge Stuns D.C. With Ruling on James
Comey, Letitia James
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 11/24/2025 1:43:39 PM
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.

Last week a radio host in Salt Lake City asked me a question I didn’t expect. We’d been talking about my “jobs Americans won’t do” article, which kind of kicked the anthill, and everything stayed within the usual lanes: illegal immigration, wages, hiring incentives, hollowed-out towns. Then, at the very end, he asked the only question that really matters: “So how do we fix it?”
Not describe it or rant about it. Fix it.
My answer, essentially, was, "It's complicated." There isn’t a bumper-sticker answer. And there certainly isn’t a partisan one. The problem goes much deeper than illegal immigration, though illegal immigration made it far worse. The truth is brutal:
The public has until Midnight (Eastern), November 24, 2025, to submit feedback on the Department of Homeland Security’s proposed changes to the H-1B visa lottery.
As of midday today, about 1,000 new comments have been posted on the federal portal at Regulations.gov, bringing the total to over 12,000.
The proposed rule, titled “Weighted Selection Process for Registrants and Petitioners Seeking to File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions”, would replace the current random lottery for 85,000 annual H-1B visas with a system that gives priority to higher-wage positions.
Registrations for unique beneficiaries would be entered into a weighted selection pool based on wage levels, with the highest-wage positions having the greatest odds of selection.

AP Argues for Oval Office, Air Force One Access 9 replies
The Associated Press argued for keeping its Oval Office and Air Force One access before a Washington, D.C., appeals panel Monday, after riling President Donald Trump over the news outlet’s insistence on using the phrase “Gulf of Mexico.”
“The First Amendment does not stop at the Oval Office door,” AP attorney Charles Tobin argued before the three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
He argued that the White House press pool system has long allowed the AP to attend almost every presidential event. He noted that some form of the White House press pool goes back to the White House of President James Garfield, and was more

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.

in banning religious garb like burqas
that hide identity 6 replies
Italy has long been one of Europe’s strongest defenders of religious freedom despite the influence of the Vatican.
But now, the country is poised to outlaw the use of traditional Islamic attire like burqas, a move the government says will strengthen its tradition of religious liberty by requiring all faiths to operate with “full transparency” and within the limits of Italian law.
The proposed law, which is set to be debated in Italy’s parliament before the end of this year, would ban “religiously motivated garments that obscure identity or impose non-transparent forms of [religious] affiliation,” according to a draft of the proposal published in the Italian media.

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
Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of JFK, has less than a year to live after being diagnosed with terminal leukemia, she announced Saturday.
“Maybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,” she writes in a searing article about her condition in the New Yorker.
Schlossberg, 35, whose parents are Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, has acute myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation. She described how her doctors discovered the cancer – just a few hours after she gave birth to her second child in 2024.
Community activists in Charlotte, N.C. are ramping up their efforts to counter federal immigration enforcement, turning church basements into training grounds where volunteers literally role-play as illegal immigrants. Dilworth United Methodist Church overflowed Monday night as Siembra N.C. hosted an “ICE and Border Patrol Watch” session, WBTV reported. Trainers walked attendees through step-by-step exercises on how to track federal agents, film detainment encounters, and alert neighborhoods when immigration officers appear in the area. Volunteers acted out mock arrest scenarios while trainees practiced recording the encounters, shouting scripted warnings, and instructing “detainees” on what to say when approached by law enforcement.
The U.S. Postal Service announced that it will increase prices for most shipping services beginning January 18, 2026, pending regulatory approval, as the self-funded agency works to narrow persistent financial losses.
The changes, already approved by the USPS Board of Governors, would raise Priority Mail rates by about 6.6%, Priority Mail Express by 5.1%, USPS Ground Advantage by 7.8%, and Parcel Select by 6%. Prices for mailing services, including the cost of a First-Class stamp, will remain unchanged in January.
The move follows the release of fiscal 2025 results showing a $9 billion net loss, slightly better than the $9.5 billion the prior year. Operating revenue rose 1.2% to $80.5 billion,
A liberal columnist complained Thursday about hearing the American national anthem in Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital.
Jamie Stiehm, who has contributed to several corporate media outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, wrote for The Capital Times on Thursday that though the “Star-Spangled Banner” might be appropriate for “ballparks and stadiums,” it is “dissonant” to play before a classical music concert in today’s political climate.
Stiehm said that classical music transcends international boundaries, but the national anthem pulls the arts back into the orbit of President Donald Trump’s influence. After attending a symphony at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
Trump Played Mamdani Like a Fiddle
11 replies
Oh, I know: The PJ Media audience wanted to see President Donald Trump take a blowtorch to Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, holding him accountable for his Marxist rhetoric, welcoming him to the D.C. Big Leagues with some Trumpian chin music. It’s not your fault. Earlier Oval Office onslaughts whetted your appetite: “Trump’s tangle with Zelensky was pretty good. So [gets popcorn] this Mamdani mele oughta be a doozy. Beer me!”
And now you’re disappointed — or maybe, deep in your heart, even a little embarrassed — by the total lack of Mamdanian mayhem. You were expecting World War III and received a bouquet of flowers! Worst pay-per-view ever!

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.

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.
Pentagon Investigating Kelly: Good

We wrote here about the disgraceful video produced by six elected Democrats, encouraging uniformed members of the military, as well as members of the intelligence community, to “resist” the Trump administration by refusing to obey orders. Today the Pentagon announced that it is investigating Senator Mark Kelly’s involvement in that incitement to insurrection: (Snip) As Secretary Hegseth said, Senator Kelly is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. If appropriate, he could be recalled to active duty and courtmartialed. I assume that a number of cases have been decided under the UCMJ, that involve encouraging soldiers to disobey orders. I can imagine that such cases have not gone well

President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, according to a report. Just the News reported Sunday that the president said, “It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms. Final documents are being drawn.” The U.S. Department of State lists Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) on its website.
“Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended.
The Marjorie Taylor Greene New Deal

Since Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) first arrived in Congress five years ago, she has been portrayed by the Washington press corps as a comic figure. They routinely mocked her for questioning mask mandates and accused her of spreading QAnon conspiracy theories. During recent weeks, after her falling out with President Trump over the fabled Epstein files, the oracles of the corporate “news” media have had an epiphany concerning Greene’s importance to the GOP. Following her announcement last Friday evening that she will resign from the House of Representatives effective January 5, they discovered she is an important political figure .

I'm going to touch on a highly controversial subject, one that has become the third rail among cancer biologists and the broader medical community: the possible link between Covid-19 vaccination and cancer. Because my laboratory’s mission is centered on cancer prevention, I cannot in good conscience ignore the elephant in the room.
As my colleague, internationally renowned cancer biologist Dr. Wafik El-Deiry, and I articulated in the September ACIP meeting on Covid vaccines, nearly 50 publications have reported a temporal association between Covid-19 mRNA vaccination and the onset of cancer. Epidemiological studies (one from Italy and one from South Korea) have also described increased cancer incidence among Covid-vaccinated individuals
On the May 22, 2020 episode of Charlamagne Tha God’s popular podcast, Joe Biden said words that have become infamous:
“If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.”
He did not hesitate. He did not show discomfort. And there was very little pushback from Charlamagne. Neither seemed to understand how incredibly grotesque it was for a white politician to declare that a black man’s voting choice determined whether he was eligible to be black.
To Biden, the line wasn’t a gaffe. It was a summary. A neat little distillation of the worldview dominant in academia, DEI institutions and the activist class for the past decade:
Race isn’t ancestry anymore. Race is ideology. Race
