The John Bolton Connection to the Steele Dossier
Posted By: DW626, 7/27/2025 12:28:50 PM
The Steele Dossier saga isn’t over—not even close. If anything, its rot is more obvious than ever, with each new revelation pointing directly to the highest levels of the Obama administration and even reaching into the early days of the Trump White House. What we now know is already damning: the phony Steele Dossier wasn’t just opposition research—it was weaponized disinformation, deliberately shoved into the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment under orders from Barack Obama himself. Senior analysts warned it was unverified and unreliable, but those concerns were bulldozed in the name of politics.

For most of my life, the climate industrial complex has been a thorn in the side of the U.S. economy. Over the years, it has wrought numerous laws and regulations that have stifled economic growth, innovation, prosperity, and productivity. All in the name of saving the human species and the planet from the existential crisis called climate change.
The blunt reality is that climate alarmist fearmongering has jumped the shark. It is now a subject of ridicule. No one really believes the world is going to end in a few years if we don’t immediately abandon fossil fuels.
However, the climate change charade lasted a while and did extensive economic damage.
Back in 2016, I remember reading an analysis that President Obama's two terms had left the Democrats in bad shape. In other words, he started in 2009 with huge majorities and left town with the GOP in charge of the U.S. Senate and House. It was probably not what Obama planned, but it happened that way.
So the question is: What led Obama to allegedly organize a takedown of the Trump presidency? Was he hurt or was his ego crushed? I like this analysis from Martin Gurri:
He understood, as a realist, that he had been the cause of which Trump was the effect.
The Department of Justice on Monday filed an official misconduct complaint against District Judge James Boasberg "for making improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration," Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
Bondi’s chief of staff Chad Mizelle wrote the complaint, referring to comments the judge made during a March 11 judicial conference, which was attended by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, among others.
“While there, Judge Boasberg attempted to improperly influence Chief Justice Roberts and roughly two dozen other federal judges by straying from the traditional topics
The more evidence I see that the Deep State conspired to destroy President Trump’s first term, the more I realize how tough and resilient our president is.
Imagine moving into the White House as the new chief executive and being surrounded by a sinister cabal of venal operatives who take corruption for granted. Imagine looking at a menu of Cabinet choices while realizing that they are all veterans of that warped system. Coming from the business world, where pragmatic decisions are made, and failure doesn’t come out of the pockets of taxpayers, Trump was a threat to every lazy, unprincipled charlatan
As President Donald Trump marks six months into his second term — celebrating triumphs like ending numerous wars, slashing job-killing regulations, making tax cuts permanent, and signing over 140 executive orders to revive America's energy independence and economy — one persistent swamp creature threatens to derail it all.
In the depths of the “Washington swamp,” few figures embody the betrayal of true conservative values like Senator Lindsey Graham. Once a vocal critic of Donald Trump, Graham flipped like a pancake after the MAGA-leader took over the Oval office — raising eyebrows and fueling theories that he's been “activated” by shadowy forces.
Obama Owes U.S. Taxpayers $32 Million

In the final months of President Obama’s second term, his administration quietly set the stage for one of the most divisive investigations in American history. While officials knew there was no evidence that Russia had altered vote counts in the 2016 election, they still chose to push a story that implied Donald Trump had won because of Russian interference.
That decision cost taxpayers millions and damaged the credibility of the nation’s democratic process.
In August 2016, the Department of Homeland Security told the National Security Council that there was “no indication of a Russian threat to directly manipulate the actual vote count through cyber means.”

Perp Walks and Jump Suits

We’re mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it anymore! That’s just the way it is. America is fed up. Every election cycle, Republican candidates tell us that, in my wife’s expression, they will “Do wonders and poop cucumbers.” And as soon as the polls close, all those promises go away.
The latest examples of this are the “Republican” senators who demanded that some foreign aid money be left on the table in Donald Trump’s tiny $9.4 billion rescission package. The fact that that amount of money is a rounding error in the federal budget angers the rest of us as well.
The biggest scandal in American history
5 replies
This is, inarguably, the biggest scandal in American history, and by far the most consequential. Period.
If you know not of which I speak, you must largely consume mainstream media. (Which means it is very unlikely you’d be reading posts at the American Thinker, rendering the previous two sentences rather moot.)
It does a monumental disservice to justice to simply call it the Russia-Russia-Russia Collusion Hoax.
It now seems clear that an outgoing president worked with a former first lady Macbeth (and then presidential candidate), a future president, and the country’s intelligence community to make up something out of whole cloth
Stephen Colbert wants you to believe he's some kind of martyred truth-teller, canceled by the evil corporate overlords for daring to speak truth to power about Donald Trump.
He’s not.
It's a compelling narrative, if you're the type who still thinks late-night comedy hosts are brave crusaders rather than overpaid establishment mouthpieces. But, rather than accept reality, he’s leaning into the preferred narrative that he’s being silenced and that it’s President Trump’s fault.
Ivy League schools are disgusting cesspools of indoctrination. They are rotten down to the roots. Invasive ivy is pervasive; many of the Ivy League professors are abrasive. They both have to go.
Yet Harvard, the epitome of effete education, has the unmitigated gall to plead with some judge to block the Trump administration from withholding federal funds.
Inside the ivy-covered buildings, the audacity of all-American optimism is usurped by soul-destroying ideology recycled from the compost heap of history. Ivy also thrives in compost, weaving its insidious way up the outside of their buildings. English Ivy is a particularly nasty variant;
Death of Legacy Media?
8 replies
Are we watching the death of the legacy media? These media companies are losing money by the bushelful. It’s unsustainable — as Stephen Colbert just learned. His show was reportedly losing $40 million per year. That’s an insane amount of money to lose on a single stand-up comedy/talk show. He reportedly had 200 people working on his staff. How does that compare to other evening shows in the comedy/talk space? Well, Greg Gutfeld’s evening comedy/talk show has… 12, including 2 cameramen. That’s right. Just twelve people work behind the scenes to put a far superior product on the screen.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou is criticizing the trade deal struck by President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as an act of “submission” by the European Union (EU).
“It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, united to affirm their values and defend their interests, resolves to submission,” Bayrou said in a post on social platform X early Monday. The agreement sets tariffs at 15 percent for European imports, including automobiles. That’s lower than the 30 percent tariff Trump had threatened to impose on the EU but higher than some European officials would have liked to see —
The political left will never recover from Trump Derangement Syndrome. President Donald Trump could put the economy on a perpetual growth path, stop World War III, bring permanent peace to the Middle East, resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict and in his spare time cure cancer and put a man on Mars, and the Democrats and progressives would still blindly hate him. Would the Republicans and conservatives who have battered and cursed him since 2015 continue to bitterly disapprove of him, as well?
Trump has had an extraordinary run so far. An AI analysis by Newsweek says the first six months of Trump’s second term “have been the most
The United Kingdom will recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not agree to a ceasefire and move toward peace in Gaza by September, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned Tuesday.
Starmer made the announcement during a press conference on Tuesday, just a day after meeting with President Donald Trump in Scotland and discussing the Israel-Hamas war and the hunger crisis in Gaza.
"I can confirm that the U.K. will recognize the State of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, unless
CNN’s Erin Burnett is being skewered for reporting that the gunman who opened fire in a Midtown skyscraper — killing an NYPD cop and three others — was “possibly white” after viewing the initial security footage released immediately after Shane Tamura’s deadly rampage. In the photos first shared online, Tamura, 27, was captured in broad daylight walking into 345 Park Ave. with a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 rifle in his hand. Burnett said police knew the gunman had “sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white” during a broadcast shortly after the shooting Monday evening.

Democratic nominee for mayor Zohran Mamdani addressed the mass shooting at a Park Avenue office building while at his family’s private compound in Uganda, where he is celebrating his wedding. “I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts,” Mamdani wrote in a post to X. (Snip) Mamdani is in Uganda celebrating his nuptials at a heavily guarded private compound in the wealthy Buziga Hill area outside the capital city, Kampala. Police said four people were shot dead — including married
Federal employees can preach in the workplace under new guidelines issued Monday by the Trump administration that have alarmed advocates for the separation of church and state.
The guidelines, outlined in a memo from the Office of Personnel Management, allow public employees to pray and discuss religion, including efforts to “persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views,” but do not endorse a specific faith. Supervisors are also allowed to encourage workers to engage in expressions of faith, including prayer.
The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted.
European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.

The Donald Trump-Russia collusion scandal that first broke in December 2016 and roared on until April 2019 has no parallel in our history — it’s not even close.
As president-elect and later as sitting president, Trump was accused by the country’s intelligence and law-enforcement apparatus of conspiring with a hostile power to subvert the 2016 election and sneak a crooked path to the White House.
Along the way, a damning Intelligence Community Assessment was issued, a major FBI investigation, code-named Crossfire Hurricane, targeted the president, and a special counsel, Robert Mueller, was granted a team of prosecutors and a budget of millions to bring the guilty to justice.
If you thought you’d seen theatrics in the United States Senate before, buckle up. Cory Booker, ever the drama king (queen?) from New Jersey, turned what should have been a routine discussion over a police funding bill into a one-man Broadway show, complete with finger-pointing at his own party and impassioned diatribes about the imminent descent of the country into authoritarian chaos. That’s right, one of the Senate’s most reliably emotional voices managed to deliver another performance that all but confirmed the absence of meaningful leadership and unity among Democrats.
Booker’s tirade began with a familiar refrain:
The Trump administration on Tuesday proposed repealing the federal government’s bedrock scientific declaration on the dangers of greenhouse gases — a move that would run afoul of decades of research and topple most of the Environmental Protection Agency’s climate regulations.
The rollback is the most audacious attempt yet by President Donald Trump to undo federal restrictions on fossil fuels. The so-called endangerment finding, which the Obama administration issued in 2009
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is a barrel of laughs. She’s feisty and doesn’t take any crap from the GOP. She’s perfectly willing to allow her detractors to view her as mentally ill. She’s ready to deliver haymakers—the problem is that her trainer is trash. The Atlantic did a lengthy profile piece on the Democratic congresswoman, some of which is run-of-the-mill Americana: she was educated privately, reportedly subjected to racism in college, got interested in the law because of those incidents, and went about building her profile by defending Black Lives Matter defendants. She had a brief stint in the Texas legislature before sharking her way up to Congress.
