D.C. Democrats Are Furious At Trump For
Stopping All The Homicides
Posted By: Moritz55, 8/22/2025 11:55:37 AM
Democrats in Washington, D.C., are furious — not because violent crime was spiraling out of control, but because President Donald Trump did something to stop it. A new Washington Post-Schar School poll found that roughly 8 in 10 D.C. residents oppose Trump’s deployment of the National Guard. The poll was conducted between Aug. 14 and Aug. 17 and surveyed 604 D.C. residents with a +/- 4.1 percentage point margin of error. This outrage was unsurprising, given that the propaganda press peddled the same narrative in recent days. A quartet of so-called journalists at CNN reported on Aug. 14 that a crowd in D.C. was “outraged by federal law enforcement presence.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James is going to need a bigger fish or a smaller trophy wall.
For months, James has paraded her victory over President Donald Trump in her civil judgment of half a trillion dollars. It did not matter that many of us denounced the judgment as grotesque and raw lawfare.
Now, however, the appellate court has replaced that mounted Marlin with a mere minnow. It threw out the financial penalty as unconstitutional and unwarranted. Even that downsized catch may have to be pulled down, since Trump can appeal the decision to leave the injunctive relief — including limits on doing business in New York — in place.
Many federal courts are trying to teach lawyers a lesson for court filings with errors generated by artificial intelligence, but one recent case takes a kinder, gentler approach.
A federal magistrate judge in the Eastern District of New York refused to impose monetary penalties on a lawyer who submitted three hallucinated cases in a court filing, citing her “remorseful explanations” and “tragic personal circumstances.”
Imposing lesser sanctions, U.S. Magistrate Judge James M. Wicks admonished lawyer Suryia Rahman and directed her to give a copy of his Aug. 7 sanctions order order to her client, Sashane Hall, who is suing a charter school for an alleged abusive working environment
Following talks about Ukraine in Washington early this week, Western states are working to fine tune the details of the much-discussed "security guarantees" for Ukraine.
One important question is how a possible ceasefire could be secured along the more than 1,000-kilometer-long (621 miles) front line in eastern Ukraine. Another is which countries would be prepared to send soldiers to Ukraine? And how many, and with what sort of mandate?
US: No ground troops, but possible air support
US President Donald Trump has spoken positively about supporting security guarantees for Ukraine but has left open exactly what they should look like. He has categorically ruled out the deployment of US troops
Tulsi Gabbard told President Trump before her nomination that she had come to peace with serving as last director of national intelligence if eliminating the post was necessary to permanently reform the sprawling intelligence community.
Now six months after her confirmation and with the president’s blessing, Gabbard will launch a campaign to dramatically overhaul the entire agency by returning it to its original purpose and thereby preserving its future.
According to senior officials who assisted in the review, the plan includes cutting the workforce by 40%, eliminating redundant mission centers whose work is already being fulfilled elsewhere in the intelligence community, and doubling down on the core function of the agency:
If you need a laugh, try to imagine Joe Biden or any recent president holding court in the way Donald Trump is doing it.
To double the laugh, try to imagine any of the current presidential wannabes sitting in the big chair in the Oval Office.
It’s an impossible exercise because of how dramatically Trump is redefining what it means to be president of the United States. His talents are vast and uniquely suited to the role he has created.
For the most recent and dramatic example, take Monday’s historic meeting of European leaders about Russia’s unrelenting invasion of Ukraine.
The historic peace summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin took place this weekend in Alaska, with the two nations coming somewhat closer to achieving a lasting peace in Ukraine.
Those who had hoped this meeting would result in an immediate end to the conflict were left disappointed; however, top U.S. diplomat and negotiator Steve Witkoff said that Putin had agreed Ukraine would receive a NATO-esque protection guarantee, which would protect Ukraine from further Russian aggression after the war. That’s a key component of any peace agreement — Ukraine can’t simply agree to lose some territory now if

Center a 'monstrosity,' fear they'll be
displaced: report 52 replies
Chicago community leaders and longtime residents say the Obama Presidential Center risks washing away the neighborhood’s fabric, warning that proposed luxury developments tied to the project could price out families who have long called the South Side home, according to a report. They also say the sprawling 19.3-acre site in historic Jackson Park, with its 225-foot-tall concrete museum, has become an eyesore that disrupts the natural landscape and all locals are getting in return for the unsightly structure is soaring rents and higher tax bills.
Marius Borg Høiby, the son of the Norwegian crown princess, has been charged with 32 offences including four counts of rape, a prosecutor has said.
Høiby, whose mother is the crown princess, Mette-Marit, and whose stepfather is the crown prince, Haakon, Norway’s future king, is expected to stand trial early next year and could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of the most serious charges. The charges, made public on Monday, include the rape of four different women, domestic abuse of a former partner, and illegally filming a number of women, including their genitals, without their knowledge or consent.
President Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday didn’t yield the ceasefire deal Trump was hoping for, but there was apparently enough progress made that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top European leaders are meeting with Trump in Washington today to discuss the possibility of peace negotiations and a deal to end to the war for good.
What might such a deal look like? Simply put, it would consist of territorial concessions in exchange for security agreements. Ukraine would cede portions of Russian-occupied territory in Crimea and the eastern provinces in exchange for a security alliance with the United States and European powers.
Terrifying video shows the moment a minivan ploughed into a tractor-trailer making an outrageous rogue U-turn on a Florida highway last week — with all three people in the van killed and the truck’s illegal-migrant driver charged with homicide.
The roadway horror happened around 3 p.m. Tuesday on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce when the tractor-trailer driven by suspect Harjinder Singh made a hard left turn across the highway and attempted to cross the median through an “Official Use Only” pass, authorities said.
Putin, Trump, and the Elusive “Peace”
7 replies
At the August 15 Alaska summit, Vladimir Putin performed as expected. He desperately wants an end to Western sanctions, détente with the U.S., and assurances that the U.S. will not impose a disastrous anti-Russian secondary boycott—and, apparently, some additional Ukrainian territory. Consequently, Putin, in his media synopsis, talked more about restored friendship with a “neighborly” United States under Trump. He scarcely mentioned Ukraine directly—other than to imply to Westerners that he seeks not merely to annex a foreign country, but to reclaim what he views as a former Soviet province with ancient ties to the Russian people.

in value as stock plunges after new logo release 48 replies
Cracker Barrel shed almost $100 million in market value after its stock plunged Thursday following the release of a new logo. The new design eliminates a longstanding drawing of an overall-clad man leaning against a barrel, in favor of a cleaner logo featuring just the chain's name. Shares of Cracker Barrel fell $4.22, or 7.2%, to $54.80 in Thursday trading, shedding $94 million in market value. The stock had dipped to a low of $50.27 earlier in the day, representing a loss of almost $200 billion in its capitalization.

A serial pedophile has agreed to be castrated as part of a plea deal after he was caught trying to sexually assault a seven-year-old girl.
Thomas Allen McCartney, 37, is classified a 'Tier Three' offender and is considered one of Louisiana's worst child predators. McCartney has agreed to be both physically and chemically castrated as part of plea deal Tuesday in order to reduce his prison sentence - although he'll still spend 40 years in prison, according to local station Fox 12. Louisiana is the first and only state to allow surgical castration to be used as a punishment for sex crimes.
DC Superior Court Judge Kendra Briggs, a Biden appointee, released two of the ‘teens’ who attacked former DOGE member Edward Coristine, AKA “Big Balls.” Earlier this month, 19-year-old Edward Coristine was severely beaten in DC after he jumped into action to save his significant other’s life. Trump posted a photo of Coristine after he was beaten bloody by the mob of teens. The President has since federalized DC to crack down on crime.[snip] Judge Briggs released one teen to a youth shelter and the other to his mother.
Alligator Alcatraz ordered closed by judge

From the Miami Herald,
Judge orders Alligator Alcatraz shut down in 60 days, says no more new detainees.
It’s an Obama-appointed federal district judge, of course, and this is the case involving the alleged “environmental damage” being done to one of the world’s biggest swamps. From the Herald,
Though her order does not prohibit the state from making repairs to the site, the most striking aspect of the order is her demand that the state begin removing all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste items that have transformed the airstrip into a detention center within 60 days, rendering the site uninhabitable.
The state of Florida, of course, is appealing the decision.
FBI agents on Thursday morning raided the Maryland home of John Bolton, the former national security advisor to President Donald Trump and a staunch critic of the president, NBC News confirmed.
The raid is part of a “national security investigation in search of classified records,” a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.
An FBI official said, “The FBI is conducting court authorized activity in the area. There is no threat to public safety,” but declined to comment on Bolton, according to NBC.
FBI Director Kash Patel tweeted “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission” at around 7 a.m. ET, the same time his agents reportedly arrived
The Light Shines On Another Obama Scandal
25 replies
Weren’t we assured that Barack Obama went “into and out of office with not a whiff of scandal”? Yes we were. Former Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen told us so, as did many others. But it wasn’t true. There are many, the most recent a claim that Obama, and then Joe Biden, pressured bank executives to deny services to conservatives. It’s a serious charge that, like the Russia hoax, makes Watergate look like a sandbox squabble.
Here’s what we’ve learned: Acccording to Fox Business, major bank executives said “they were under pressure by the Obama and Biden administrations to deny services to individuals and businesses for political reasons.”
The MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell believes he’s on to a scandal: The US president who held a snap summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, and then, immediately after, hosted a spontaneous meeting with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and major European leaders at the White House, is so debilitated that he can barely function.
His evidence is that Donald Trump had a light public schedule a couple of days after this flurry of in-person, high-stakes diplomacy.
This would be little like a critic of Charles Lindbergh accusing the landmark aviator of being a layabout
In what is being called the largest single-year cut in civilian federal employment since World War II, 2025 will end with 300,000 fewer workers employed by the United States government.
New Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor told several news outlets, most recently the New York Times, that the federal workforce will drop from 2.4 million to 2.1 million employees, largely as the result of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts.
In a lengthy interview this week with Washington, DC, station WTOP, Kupor said that up to 80 percent of the reductions
In roughly three years, Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has established herself as one of the most recognized members of the Supreme Court — and not in a good way.
Despite being the most junior justice on the high court, Jackson has regularly gone out of her way to thumb her nose at her colleagues for upholding America’s constitutional framework. Whether it be through public comments or poorly written opinions, the Biden appointee has shown little respect for the longstanding traditions and collegiality that have defined SCOTUS for generations.

Gets Some Very Bad News After Being Released
From Jail 19 replies
The legal situation surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador, continues to rack up twists and turns. But while his Friday release from jail seemed like a big victory, a new development has completely changed the game.
Originally deported by the Trump administration to his home country in early 2025, the case immediately drew national attention. (Snip) As it turns out, petitioning the court for release appears to have been a big mistake.
According to immigration reporter Bill Melugin, the ICE is already moving to not only detain Abrego Garcia, but to deport him to Uganda.
Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears attended a meeting held by the Arlington County School Board to discuss their bathroom policy after a convicted sex offender was allowed to use the ladies’ restroom by claiming to be transgender. It drew a rally of pro-transgender supporters, some of whom had deliciously racist signs for Ms. Sears, the GOP’s 2025 gubernatorial candidate. The Democrats in Virginia at least have embraced their party’s Klan roots.
The sign read, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.” The woman who asked not to be identified said it was satire and meant to provoke debate.

Like Normal People 18 replies
Talking points are out instructing Democrats to stop using terms like “birthing person” and “LGBTQIA+” and to begin talking again like Normal People.[snip] The Third Way, a leftist think tank that poses as moderate, released a memo Thursday calling on Democrats “Who Wish to Stop Donald Trump and MAGA” to stop using “words and phrases no ordinary person would ever dream of saying.”[snip] First, what we have here is a call coming from inside the house. Democrats are openly telling Democrats that they have lost the culture wars, which they have, because Democrats have become anti-fun, anti-truth, oppressive, humorless, anti-normal killjoys
