Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Friday that she is cracking down on leaks coming from inside the intelligence community to left-wing media organizations. Gabbard declared on X that “politically motivated” leaks by intelligence officials will come to an end and listed several examples of unauthorized leaks to news outlets. “Our nation’s Intelligence Community must be focused on our national security mission. Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security and the trust of the American people, and will not be tolerated,” Gabbard said. “Unfortunately, such leaks have become commonplace with no investigation or accountability. That ends now.

It is insane that these people think it is OK to do this. They almost certainly signed papers that informed them that leaking information is a criminal act and that they could be prosecuted. It is nice that these fools volunteered to resign and take up residence in Club Fed for a while. This is also a reminder that many people of this ilk remain in government. We need to be vigilant and aggressively ferret them out.

A few of these clowns fired would be a good start, but jail for criminal release of classified info would be the best way to end this.

If these leaks are illegal, or should I say, since these leaks are illegal, should we not also be prosecuting the journalists who are making money by making our national secrets public?

What good is an intelligence agency with leaks. Cancel their security clearance and boot them out and remind them that leaking after their clearance has been canceled still leaves them open to prosecution.

Fact check: True. Only I'm not sure whether Van Jones knows how true this is -- and why. Let me start out by stipulating that Jones usually offers some real insights in his analyses, and cuts against the Left when he sees them erring. In this case, though, Jones accurately assesses the anger on the Left toward both Chuck Schumer and Donald Trump, but misses the larger reality around it (via Twitchy): ERIN BURNETT: Van, how angry are Democrats at Leader Schumer? VAN JONES, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: I've never seen this level of volcanic anger at a Democrat ever. BURNETT: Ever? JONES: Ever. BURNETT: Wow. JONES: We could be grumpy.

It's always good to see bad terrorists being turned into good terrorists. The latest goblin to have his birth certificate permanently revoked was one Abdallah Maki Mosleh al-Rifai, the leader of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. On Friday, the Iraqi government announced al-Rifai was taken out in an airstrike. The world is now a slightly better place. The head of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has been killed in Iraq in an operation by members of the Iraqi national intelligence service along with U.S.-led coalition forces, the Iraqi prime minister announced Friday. “The Iraqis continue their impressive victories over the forces of darkness and terrorism,”

An appeals court on Friday lifted a block on President Donald Trump's executive orders ending federal support for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. A panel of three judges ruled the orders can be enforced during a pending lawsuit, reversing a nationwide injunction from U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore, the Associated Press reported. Two of the judges on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the orders "could raise concerns" about First Amendment rights, but found Abelson's "sweeping block went too far," according to the report.

The only reason that everyone isn't talking about what a terrible week Gavin Newsom is having is that people are too busy talking about what a terrible week Chuck Schumer is having. Still, almost as many Democrats seem irritated and fed up with Newsom as with Schumer. The source of that irritation is Newsom's new podcast where he has so far invited as guests: Charlie Kirk, Michael Savage and Steve Bannon. Michelle Goldberg has an opinion piece about this today. I was open to the idea behind Gavin Newsom’s new podcast, in which the California governor has been breaking out of his political bubble to talk at length with right-wing media stars

At least five well-known conservatives with large followings on Elon Musk's X social media platform were "swatted" overnight. These attempts by unknowns to get conservatives killed in a hail of law enforcement gunfire appear to be part of an organized effort to affect politics by acts of violence. That is the textbook definition of terrorism, and it appears to be organized. That's dark enough, but things could be worse than that. Add to the swattings the attempted take over of Trump Tower, and in February, an aborted take over the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, the organized Tesla dealership attacks, and the strange and frightening attacks

For most of the past five years, a whole lot of otherwise seemingly intelligent people insisted Covid-19 was just a really unlucky naturally occurring bat virus that just happened to mutate in a way that made it nearly ideal for infecting human beings, and it coincidentally popped up down the road from an institution that was doing gain-of-function research on coronaviruses found in horseshoe bats in a lab that wasn’t up to the international standards for doing that kind of research. To quote the late Norm Macdonald, “or so the Germans would have us believe.” Actually, it turns out that the German government’s intelligence service

Vance praised manufacturing for “generating economic opportunity in this region of our country,” adding, “If we do not protect our nation's manufacturers, we lose a fundamental part of who we are as a people. Making things, building things, working with our hands is America's heritage — and that heritage is alive and well in this facility.” One of the Trump administration’s major stated goals is to bring manufacturing back to America from foreign countries

Tactically, Sen. Schumer is right: Being (justifiably) blamed for a government shutdown wouldn’t help his party. And Democratic strategists like James Carville are also right: There’s nothing to be gained by “winning” the news cycle in the middle of March in an odd-numbered year. It’s smarter to play dead, give the opposition just enough rope to hang themselves, and rejoin the game a few months later to “save the day.” It's like the old saying goes: We can’t miss ya if ya never go away. As a long-term PR strategy, the Democrats would love to create the impression that they really, truly tried to cooperate with President Trump

One of President Donald Trump’s first actions upon entering the White House was to order federal employees to return to the office. The government workforce, he has repeatedly contended, could not be productive from home. “I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work. I don’t think you can work from home,” Trump said on Feb. 11. “Nobody’s going to work from home, they’re going to be going out, they’re going to play tennis, they’re going to play golf. They’re going to do a lot of things. They’re not working.” Three days later, Trump traveled to his sprawling Mar-a-Lago mansion in Palm Beach, where he remained for parts

Why did the State Department (taxpayers) pay for Hillary Clinton’s 5-star hotel room and rental vehicles in France in 2024? Hillary Clinton traveled to Bordeaux, France, on February 23, 2024 and the American taxpayer paid for her lavish retreat. Clinton reportedly traveled to Bordeaux to promote climate change garbage at the World Impact Summit to benefit the Clinton Foundation. The twice-failed presidential hopeful stayed at the 5-star Mondrian Hotel (a Clinton favorite). The total cost for the luxury hotel ($16,759.18) and transportation ($22,570.19) set taxpayers back $39,329.37.

A court ordered Starbucks on Friday to pay $50 million in damages to a delivery driver who was severely burned by spilled beverages, CNN reported. The jury in California sided with Michael Garcia, who was picking up drinks in a drive-through in Los Angeles when he was handed beverages with improperly secured lids. According to the lawsuit filed in the California Superior Court in 2020, he “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals when hot drinks ultimately spilled” on his lap. The lawsuit ultimately accused the coffee chain of breaching its duty of care by not securing the lids, according to the report.

Clinton-appointed Judge Richard Young has ordered the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) to provide sex change surgery for a “transgender” inmate who murdered a baby. The inmate, Jonathan Richardson, who now goes by “Autumn Cordellioné,” is in prison for the reckless homicide of a baby. Richardson was convicted in 2001 for strangling his then-wife’s 11-month-old daughter to death. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections seeking a sex change on behalf of Richardson in 2023, three years after the baby-killer decided to begin identifying as a woman. Currently, there is a law in Indiana banning taxpayer-funded sex change procedures for inmates.

Some of the content unpublished from the site was on veterans who had received the nation's highest military recognition, the Medal of Honor, according to military news site Task & Purpose. The content removal is part of a larger effort by President Donald Trump to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices in the military and throughout the federal government.
