On Wednesday, FBI Director Kash Patel appeared before the House Judiciary Committee for scheduled oversight and gave details on how the FBI is working to combat online threats against Americans. As our sister site Twitchy reported, our children are the main targets of these dangerous predators and destructive online platforms. The alleged murderers of Charlie Kirk and UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson have become prime examples of where this type of radicalization leads.
Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.

And something else that I find shocking, is the present "teaching profession". You read so many stories lately of young women teachers who are having sexual relationships with minor boys! Something so pathetic and evil about that. Evil always wants to corrupt the good. I am grateful to FBI Director Kash Patel and his organization for getting the job done in so many diverse and important areas.
Kash Patel brought this up before Congress yesterday, but the information (and the cited piece at Twitchy) come from early May. I'm not surprised it's largely forgotten; contemplating such evil is very unsettling. I'm thankful I don't have to look at the details as part of my 9-5 job.
The founder of the group according to ABC News, Bradley Cadenhead, has been sentenced to 80 years. I think it would be fitting, when he finally dies, to bury him at sea with a millstone around his neck.
Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension was his own fault. The ABC late night host’s mean-spirited commentary disguised as comedy drove conservatives away. Kimmel was completely unconcerned with this development, but his desire to turn his show into a liberal echo chamber might prove to be his downfall because when he claimed that conservatives were desperately trying to “characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” ABC felt they had no choice but to take him off the air.
According to an aggregation of previous NewsBusters studies, 92 percent of Kimmel’s jokes since January 2023 have been about conservatives, and since September 2022, 97 percent
An American woman seeking an annulment from her foreign-born husband could end up turbocharging the government’s crackdown on marriage fraud.
For the first time in U.S. history, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) will decide if Americans can appeal previously-approved I-130 petitions based on new evidence of marriage fraud, according to legal documents exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The case — which involves a naturalized American citizen who claims her Chinese husband married her solely for a green card — could carry enormous national impact.
After Charlie Kirk’s murder, two Muslim men in Utah were arrested for planting an incendiary device under a FOX affiliate’s news van. The most striking thing about their house, as Front Page Magazine had reported, was that it appeared to be covered in anti-Trump signage.
Including a black flag reading, “Is He Dead Yet?”
“Is He Dead Yet” merchandise also made a recent appearance when a New York City public school teacher posted a photo of himself wearing that t-shirt and celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death.
In a famously sensitive era, where do you go to buy a “Is he dead yet?” t-shirt or flag? Anywhere as it turns out.

It’s an account that’s a combination of horrifying and comforting.
Frank Turek, a prominent Christian apologist, writer, and close friend of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, published a podcast Tuesday describing his relationship with Kirk and the harrowing moments that followed Kirk’s shooting last week in Orem, Utah.
And he offered what might be the only good news to come out of it.
Turek was on stage at Utah Valley University when Kirk was hit.
Up until the early 2010s, the emotional appeal of being a good, loyal Democrat was twofold: It signaled to your peers how much you cared about the poor, the environment, and the disadvantaged; and — if you were white — it was “proof” you weren’t a racist.
Meanwhile, the GOP was the party of old white dudes, business tycoons, and religious weirdos. As Bill Maher put it in 2011, “[Republicans are] the squares. I’m not putting them down. You need squares to run ****.”
And more or less, that’s how the media portrayed the two parties: Republicans were the stodgy old farts in “Footloose,” and the Democrats
Second only to President Donald Trump's historic first 100 days of his second term, from a newsworthy perspective, has been the voracity with which Democrat-nominated federal district judges have attempted — unconstitutionally so — to obstruct this president at every politically driven opportunity. On Thursday, Trump took the first step of his second term to right the federal district court system.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced his nomination of Whitney Hermandorfer to serve as a judge on the Cincinnati-based Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which hears cases from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee.
For reasons that defy logic (but are easily explained as default emotional opposition), the Democrats and the press have been yoking themselves to figures in the deportation news cycles that are consistently problematic. In the furor to automatically oppose President Trump in any activity and policy, it is a baffling reality to see the insistence that deeply flawed, violent, and illegal individuals be allowed to remain in the U.S. And it has cast the media in a position of idiocy. Note that we rarely see reports now about Mahmoud Khalil, who was initially held up as a wrongfully detained student not granted due process. His name has dissipated
Dozens of notorious Tren de Aragua gangsters have been arrested at the border after seemingly blindingly following their Google maps onto an international bridge teeming with US immigration agents.
About 40 TdA members were arrested at Ambassador Bridge which connects Detroit, Michigan to Canada - and they weren't even trying to sneak into the US or Canada.
The gangsters had simply been following their GPS which routed them on to the well-secured international crossing, where shocked agents took them into custody. Retired FBI agent Dan Brunner, who spent years tracking down migrant gang MS-13, estimates there are 3,000 to 5,000 mobsters associated with the South American syndicate in the US.
A conservative nonprofit is threatening to sue after an Atlanta-based band canceled less than 24 hours before its scheduled performance at a conservative conference Friday.
The Job Creators Network hosted its annual “Freedom Fighters Summit and Gala” in Savannah, and the band Yacht Rock Schooner signed a contract to perform. The band canceled Thursday, claiming that it agreed to perform on the premise that the event was apolitical. At the time of the cancellation, the summit had already been well underway. The band performs music from the ’70s and early ’80s for dance parties.
“The band Yacht Rock Schooner defied a 45-day contractual cancellation notice and
John Fetterman’s camera-thirsty wife has done him dirty.
New York Magazine published a hit piece on the Pennsylvania senator Friday, airing grievances from his staffers who are concerned about his mental health, his views on the Israel-Gaza War. The piece also shed light on Fetterman’s relationship with his left-wing wife, Gisele, who secretly communicated with his staff and made a political disagreement into a full-blown argument. According to the outlet, Gisele visited her husband’s senate office in November 2023, weeks after Hamas attacked Israel, and got into a heated debate about the burgeoning war and her husband’s support for the Israeli state. Gisele also went behind her husband’s back,
Tim Walz’s own daughter just gave the best evidence yet that he is completely insane.
Kate Mackz, a popular running influencer who conducts interviews with people while … running, recently visited the White House to take a tour with press secretary Karoline Leavitt. On Thursday, Walz’s daughter, Hope, weighed in on the visit with a take that contained a kernel of truth but was nonetheless delusional, hinting at her father’s failure as a … father. “Running as an act is political. And you know who taught me that? Tim Walz,” Hope told his TikTok following. “The first thing he told me when I was getting into it in high school
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed that just because people commit crimes, it “doesn’t make them a criminal,” adding that it depends on the person’s “mindset.”
During an interview with “genderqueer” Netflix star Jonathan Van Ness, Crockett was asked about having worked as a public defender, and what she wished that “people knew.” Crockett responded by explaining that when you are “assigned to only deal with indigent people” you end up learning “a lot about yourself.”
“It’s just understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively, right?”
Progressive New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is eyeing a run for president in 2028, according to a report Friday.
The socialist “Squad” member is gearing up to seek higher office as she’s attempted to grow her presence across the country and the Empire State, people familiar with her operation told Axios in a Friday report.
Ocasio-Cortez and her team are deciding on whether to run for the Senate or the White House, sources told the outlet.

In a recent social media post, an Oberlin student called for a return to “political assassinations” following conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death last week, when he was shot and killed while speaking at a Utah university. Oberlin College and Conservatory President Carmen Twillie Ambar confirmed Thursday that Julia Xu attends the college. “Last week, an Oberlin student published a personal social media post that glorified political assassinations and incorrectly linked this ideology to the perspective of a faculty member,”... “The student has subsequently issued a public apology and expressed deep regret.” Ambar said that the comments do not reflect the college and conservatory.
French First Lady Brigitte Macron will present photographic evidence to a U.S. court to prove she is a woman as part of her defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens.
Mrs Macron and her husband, President Emmanuel Macron, filed suit in July over “substantial reputational damage” against Owens addressing what they called repeated “falsehoods” that Mrs Macron is in fact secretly a man, as Breitbart News reported.
Owens has propagated unsubstantiated claims the first lady was born male and used to go by the name Jean-Michel Trogneux — who in reality is Mrs Macron’s older brother.
Nearly 60 House Democrats on Friday voted down a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk — including “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who accused the slain conservative activist of being a “bigot.”
Four of the Dems who voted “nay” hail from New York — AOC, Yvette Clarke, Adriano Espaillat, and Nydia Velazquez — and three represent New Jersey: Reps. Robert Menendez, Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver.
The resolution condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the assassination of the Turning Point USA co-founder and commended law enforcement for arresting and charging Kirk’s alleged killer.
The House of Representatives passed a resolution on Friday condemning political violence and honoring Charlie Kirk, but nearly a hundred Democrats refused to support it. The final tally was 310-58, with every Republican voting in favor and 96 Democrats either voting against it or refusing to take a stand at all by voting present. That raw number is impossible to ignore: Close to 100 Democrats balked at denouncing political violence when the resolution also praised Kirk’s legacy.
This becomes even more striking when you remember what happened just a few months ago.
Back in June, the House unanimously
Traditionally, it’s called “the people’s house” because the House of Representatives is supposed to represent and reflect the people to whom the congressional members represent. Republicans in the House threatened to withhold votes if Speaker Mike Johnson did not pass an enhanced House Member Security Funding Bill that includes a payment of $25,000/month per lawmaker to hire their own private security. This is in addition to the pre-existing security packages the House members receive.
The monthly funds would be designated for use hiring private security when the representatives are not in Washington DC. It is the republican wing pushing this demand.
The man who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman, according to newly revealed court documents.
In a recent court filing, Nicholas Roske’s defense attorneys call their client “Sophie” and explain in a footnote that they will use female pronouns to refer to him “out of respect.”
“The case is captioned as United States v. Nicholas John Roske,” lawyers for Roske state in the filing, obtained by the Daily Wire. “That name remains Ms. Roske’s legal name, and she has not asked to recaption the case. Out of respect for Ms. Roske,
Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib had a fiery back-and-forth with Florida's Byron Donalds during a House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday.The outspoken Democrat blasted President Donald Trump's Washington DC crime crackdown, slipping in a jab about the National Guard decision by the Trump administration as "fascist" during the hearing with Mayor Muriel Bowser and other DC leaders.
"We can't be passive right now ... nobody over there should take this personally," she said, motioning at the Republican side of the chamber. "It's really important we stand up against this fascist takeover - that's not a bad word, it's a fact."
(snip)
At that point, Donalds interjected, bringing up the fascist remark.
US Representative Ilhan Omar doubled down on her critique of Charlie Kirk and his camp at a town hall meeting in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, on Saturday, September 13, footage shows.
More than 100 filed into the Elim Lutheran Church for the gathering, where bag checks and metal detectors were implemented as part of a heightened security effort amid the wave of recent political violence in Minnesota and the US.
Almost an hour into the meeting, a man criticized Omar for comments she made on Mehdi Hasan’s Zeteo News regarding various right-leaning figures.“So I’m just wondering, which approach is better?” questioned the man.
ASHLAND — Ashland County Fair officials booted the Ashland County Democratic Party booth on Thursday following the political party’s sale of “offensive buttons” directed toward President Donald Trump. The Ashland County Fair posted on Facebook around 8 p.m. on Thursday that it had been “made aware of offensive buttons in the Democrat booth.” The Ashland County Fair Board would like to let you know this afternoon we were made aware of offensive buttons in the Democrat booth. We are a family friendly fair and do not condone this from any vendor/merchant. We apologize for those who saw the display. The democrat party has been asked to pack their booth up for this year so they will not be here the remaining of our Fair week. This is not political, we just can't have this at our County Fair!
Senate Republicans confirmed dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees with one vote Thursday, days after changing the chamber’s rules along party lines to allow group consideration for most executive branch picks.
The first bloc included 48 Trump nominees for midlevel executive branch positions and ambassadorships. Had they been processed individually, their confirmations would have eaten up weeks of floor time.
“If the Senate had continued at the pace that we’ve been proceeding at through the month of July there would still be hundreds of empty desks
