Karma Comes Calling for John Bolton

Original Article

On August 8, 2022 about 30 FBI agents descended on Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago and searched the place with less civility than they would have afforded a Miami drug lord. They spent most of that day rummaging through Trump’s personal belongings — and those of his wife and son — allegedly in search of classified documents. This was the first time in American history that such an outrage had been committed against any former president. Yet it was greeted with thinly disguised glee by Trump’s critics, including erstwhile National Security Advisor John Bolton.

I dont like to see anyone with the full force of government slamming down on their head. The desperation and frustration one must feel would be overwhelming. The chances of coming out of it unscathed, even if innocent, are near zero. The attorney fees will destroy anyone but the super wealthy. Still, he brought this on himself and is so in-your-face about it there seems to be no other remedy. Hopefully in prison he'll get fulfillment by starting lots of wars.

If Catron has any doubts about Bolton's search having an appropriate preicate he should listen to the first segment of MarkLevin's program last night. He has known Bolton for a long time. He was able to lay out why the investigation that Biden shut down should have born reopened.

As I recall, FBI agents showed up at Mar Largo with their weapons drawn - even though the place was under 24/7 US Secret Service protection and I don't believe I saw one FBI agency show up at Bolton's home or office with even a handgun drawn. This isn't revenge. It's accountability and a reckoning.

John Bolton held a position of public trust and then used information he learned only by virtue of that employment to write a book. He submitted that book for publication despite being warned that it contained classified information. Judge Lamberth noted that disclosures in the book likely violated the law even as he ruled its publication couldn't be constitutionally prohibited. Nevertheless, the Biden DOJ summarily refused to prosecute those violations, plus a separate allegation he unlawfully emailed classified documents to himself. Ending the impunity Bolton enjoyed during the Biden Relapse is not "retribution." On the other hand, the Biden Administration had to "make the process the punishment" because their contrived cases ultimately fizzled or were nullified by the courts or the 2024 Presidential election. I agree with #2. Rather than celebrating the "raid" of Bolton's home, we should be hoping for a properly framed indictment that merits a conviction.

Robbie Woodland was skeptical of President Trump’s takeover of the District of Columbia until she spotted a patrol firsthand in Southeast. The lifelong Washingtonian watched as federal agents drove by without performing any jump-outs or other strong-arm police tactics of the sort she feared would target her predominantly Black neighbors living across the Anacostia River, a part of the nation’s capital long associated with high crime. When she took her focus off the patrol and looked at her surroundings, she noticed that the troublemakers who had become fixtures of her community were nowhere to be found.

f you're a working parent (or if you know one) then you already know—summer is one big juggling act. Yes, there can be joy in the mix with sunshine, sprinklers, and popsicles. But there are also child care gaps, tricky logistics, and the ever-mounting costs of it all. And in the middle of all that juggling, it can be really tough to also keep up with what's happening in Congress. You might hear something about a "One Big Beautiful Bill" on the news or overhear some political back-and-forth, but what does any of that actually mean for you and your juggling routine? Let's break it down.
Will Newsom Rig His Redistricting Referendum? 8 replies

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has cast himself as a defender of democracy in the gerrymandering war that erupted after Texas Democrats fled the Lone Star State in a futile attempt to kill a GOP redistricting plan. This is obviously part of an ongoing effort to bolster his national profile ahead of a probable presidential run, but it has forced him to adopt an Orwellian position on redistricting. Newsom is telling Golden State voters that, to save democracy from Republicans, they must allow him to usurp the power of a redistricting commission they voted to create in a 2010 ballot initiative.

I just recorded Sean Spicer's show, and as he always does with his panel, he asked for a winner of the week and a loser. For the latter, I picked Gavin Newsom, who is on a losing streak. As he flails around, looking for a way to gain more traction in the race to become the Democrats' nominee for president, Newsom is trying on a Donald Trump skin suit to see if that will work. Hey! Trump is winning, so why not emulate his style? (Snip for X post) Ah, Gavin, this is pathetic. When Pete Buttigieg, Mr. Vanilla, is beating you in the race to become president

Democratic socialist and Minneapolis mayoral hopeful Omar Fateh says his first priority in office would be protecting illegal immigrants from President Donald Trump's "hostile federal government." Fateh made the statement during an interview with KARE 11 News in Minnesota, doubling down on his identity as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, but denying his policies are "radical." "Day one, if you were elected, what would be some of your top two or three priorities for the city?" the reporter asked in an interview aired Friday. "The first I would say would be a hostile federal government, with not only Donald Trump in office,

It’s hardly a secret that the Democrats are in the midst of an existential crisis. They are leaderless, fractious, broke, and more unpopular with the voters than they have been in decades. Yet, as their antics have demonstrated during the first seven months of the second Trump administration, they don’t connect these calamities to their bad policies and worse execution. Instead, they attribute their ills to malevolent forces threatening “our democracy” and see themselves as its saviors. How will they rescue the republic? Former Clinton advisor James Carville laid out a blueprint last Wednesday.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. A big, explosive controversy that’s impossible to ignore! A jaw-dropping confession that outraged his corporate bosses! Or maybe he’d finally suffer the consequences of speaking “truth to power” — and pay the ultimate price for refusing to back down! That’s how “The Howard Stern Show” was supposed to end. This November marks the 100th anniversary of TS Eliot’s haunting poem, “The Hollow Men.” It’s a telling coincidence, for it foretold not just the fate of the world, but of a certain shock-jock: “This is the way the [Howard Stern Show] ends; Now with a bang but a whimper.” This week, the news broke:

President Donald Trump has directed the Commerce Department to conduct a new census, one that counts citizens of the United States and omits illegal aliens. "I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump posted on Truth Social Thursday. The 2020 Census was alarmingly inaccurate, resulting in faulty congressional representation in Washington D.C.

Britain’s Labour government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular. But that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is. You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it? Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration.
Trump Should Have Fired McEntarfer Long Ago 12 replies

The corporate news media greeted the lackluster jobs report that dropped on August 1 with unabated glee, and savored President Trump’s complaints concerning its accuracy. They were less pleased, however, when he fired Commissioner of Labor Statistics Erika McEntarfer. The coverage of her termination was predictable. CNN, for example, went with the following headline: “Trump fires a senior official over jobs numbers.” In reality, McEntarfer’s termination was long overdue. She was a Biden appointee whose tenure at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has been characterized by disarray.

It’s understandable, and rational, that the American people don’t trust the media. Time and time again the media have proven themselves to be untrustworthy. Still, I sometimes find myself wondering how different things might have been, how the press could have saved itself, had reporters just been willing to work with honor and walk down the painful road of introspection when they were wrong. That last phrase, “walk down the painful road of introspection,” is not my own. It belongs to Bob Woodward, the “legendary” Washington Post reporter. Woodward became famous for his coverage of Watergate in the 1970s. A lot of conservatives dislike Woodward, and I understand why.

Harsimrat Kaur Badal represents a district in the Punjab region, which is home to many members of the Sikh ethnic group who work illegally or legally in the U.S. trucking industry.

The Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce duo is a bit of a throwback in our odd times (when even Zoom meetings sometimes ask for pronouns). The New York Times wedding section isn’t just for brides and grooms anymore. More importantly: We live at a time when people are afraid of marriage.

During an interview with investigators from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on August 14, 2025, Singh demonstrated a lack of understanding of the English Language and was only able to correctly answer 2 of 12 verbal questions and accurately identify 1 of 4 highway signs. How did Harjinder Singh get in the USA? How did he get a Commercial Driver’s License? Are there more truckers like him? The answers will shock you.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, who is one of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F.

And it's really chapping the knickers off of the pissy, prissy 'minders' who keep an eye on everyone and tell them how to behave. As the fellow in the video asks, 'Is there something I've not been told? Has the Third Reich suddenly surfaced in the bowels of the town hall?' as the pedantic city council member corrects his usage that it's a Union flag, not a 'jack.' And it doesn't matter because he's not allowed to fly it anyway.
