Mark Felt and James Comey

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 9/30/2025 3:55:17 PM

As we watch the drama with James Comey developing, I can’t help but draw from a historical perspective. I see Comey as comparable to Mark Felt. I can recall when the leftist press was making Felt (AKA Deep Throat) out to be some kind of hero. What did Mark Felt do? He leaked info that eventually brought down Richard Nixon’s presidency. I commented on the whole Watergate deal and the praise that Felt was getting back in June of 2005: "Imagine with me the howling, had this (leaking) occurred with a Democrat, instead of Nixon."

Nixon had to be paid back for Hiss and before that Helen Douglas and then had the effrontery to win the Presidency in 1968 which they felt rightfully belonged to RFK.

Who is Adam Schiff? 4 replies

Sen. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, is a slimy, deceitful criminal who has infested the halls of the House and now the Senate like a venomous parasite, sucking the lifeblood from American democracy while enriching himself through brazen fraud and treasonous schemes. With his beady eyes and perpetual smirk, Schiff isn't just a politician -- he's a walking indictment, a master manipulator who has weaponized lies, leaks, and law-breaking to claw his way to power. Forget the polished resume; Schiff is a fraudster extraordinaire, guilty of orchestrating the Russia collusion hoax

Hillary, were you drunk when you said this? Who thought a) this was a good idea, and b) you would have any credibility with American voters. The former first lady and two-time presidential loser had another deplorables moment. These people cannot help themselves; it’s pathetic. While speaking with co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe," Mrs. Clinton said we need to stop demonizing each other. Oh, but wait—she claimed that most of that in our history comes from the Right, “coming from people who want to dominate.”

Quick, everybody care what a bunch of impotent, fussy foreigners think about us! No, really, we should give a damn that some herring-gobbling fjord jockey is mad about Donald Trump. Yeah, Norwegians totally matter. But not really. No foreigner matters. Not Canadians, not the English, not the Arabs (especially of the nonexistent Palestinian variety), not the Papua/New Guineans. Here’s the reality. Most foreigners are trash. Most people who aren’t Americans suck. And treacherous Americans who presume to leverage the puny outrage of second-rate cultures against ours deserve our contempt and mockery almost as much as the foreigners themselves. They think we’re dumb, New World rubes

President Donald Trump canceled a meeting with top Democrats on Tuesday, arguing that Republicans could not agree to their “unserious and ridiculous demands” to fund the government eight days away from a likely partial shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent a joint letter to Trump on Saturday requesting a meeting to discuss funding the government ahead of the Sept. 30 deadline. Trump cast doubt on whether he would be able to agree to Democrats’ demands for policy concessions in exchange for their votes on funding the government, but indicated that a meeting with party leaders could still happen.

It’s not just ideas that have consequences. Words have consequences, too. Henry II is said to have made the famous remark above in 1170, which prompted four knights to travel to Canterbury and slay Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Many centuries later, Mark Twain remarked, “The past does not repeat itself, but it rhymes”—a bit of an allegorical mystery, at which Twain was a master. So we look for a pattern. It is worth examining a plethora of quotes from today’s politicians that echo Henry the Second’s remark, and hardly allegorically. Today, Charlie Kirk is just as dead as Thomas Becket.
Obama Is a Soulless Fraud 17 replies

Barack Obama is such a soulless fraud. He’s spent the last week trying to downplay the significance of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. First, he pretended that the motive behind Charlie’s murder was impossible to ascertain. Then he blamed President Trump for welcoming “extremism” into the White House. Finally, he insinuated that Charlie was a racist and at least partially responsible for his own death. As always, America’s foremost “divider in chief” excels at rubbing salt in gaping wounds. The Soros network of NGOs must have recently sent out marching orders instructing Democrats to speak favorably of Obama’s presidency because every prominent Donkey Party politician has tried to rewrite Obama’s divisive reign

Earlier this month a British academic named Michael Rainsborough wrote an insightful essay on the United Kingdom’s descent towards civil war. Once the head of the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, Rainsborough was dismissed from his post for committing a series of “thought crimes.” His final offense came in the form of a co-authored essay entitled, “The British Road to Dirty War,” in which he and former colleague David Betz diagramed “the hollowing out of British democratic institutions” and the dangerous rule of a permanent governing class filled with authoritarian elites. Now working in Australia, Rainsborough returns to the subject with additional wisdom

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced Friday morning during a joint press conference with the FBI that law enforcement had taken Tyler Robinson into custody in connection with the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The arrest comes 33 hours after the deadly shooting at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot during a public appearance. “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him,” Cox told reporters in a solemn briefing. He explained that the breakthrough came after a family member of Robinson reached out to authorities on the evening of Sept. 11.

The suspect alleged to have assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has been identified and is in custody, according to the FBI. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox participated in a press briefing with FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday. “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him,” Cox declared. The governor explained that “a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washignton County Sheriff’s office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.” Cox further explained that Robinson arrived on the Utah Valley University campus, where the shooting occurred at about 8:29 a.m., in a grey Dodge Challenger.

Somehow a Glock and Code Pink were allowed within close proximity of the President. It’s astonishing to me that these kinds of failures have happened given POTUS’s well-known brushes with death. Somebody -- multiple somebodies -- need to be fired and fired stat. First, the Glock. It happened at Trump’s Virginia golf course where a “Trump National club member was able to carry [it] into the club in Sterling, Va. while Trump was golfing there last week even though a USSS Uniformed Division officer had screened the bag by hand and wanded the man carrying it.” How, how is that possible?

Charlie Kirk is no longer with us. The conservative activist, host, and founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, today. He was 31. He leaves behind his wife, Erika, and two children. A shooter took a single shot, striking Kirk in the neck. The footage is ghastly. He was rushed to the hospital but did not survive. As condolences and thoughts and prayers pour in, you can leave it to MSNBC to peddle gun control and other personal attacks on Kirk, who promoted freedom

Frail former President Bill Clinton has sparked new fears for his health by being spotted with a portable defibrillator – mere weeks after the 79-year-old was subpoenaed to testify before a congressional committee investigating the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking scandal, RadarOnline.com can reveal. Now, experts believe the ex-commander-in-cheat's heart is buckling under the stress of having to spill his guts before the House Oversight Committee probing his chummy past relationship with dead pedophile Epstein, potentially making him the 24th person associated with the billionaire creep to drop dead under murky circumstances.

The NFL beclowned itself again by announcing that anti-American Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will headline the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. As a reminder, Bad Bunny (real name: Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) previously said he would not make a U.S. stop on his world tour for fear his fans might get caught in ICE raids. By saying this, the rapper implied that his fan base is largely comprised of illegal aliens who streamed across the southern border. As it is, Bad Bunny has a consistent track record of being on the wrong side of history: In addition to supporting unfettered illegal immigration, he championed the race-hustling Black Lives Matter grift and endorsed

An anti-ICE protester in Massachusetts forgot to put her car in park while yelling at agents making an arrest of an illegal alien and her car rolled into a lake and sank, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement source tells Fox News. It happened in Upton, Massachusetts, a small town in Worcester County, roughly 40 miles west of Boston. Video and a photo, provided to Fox News by an ICE source, captured the incident. In the clip, a voice can be heard saying, “Well that sucks. Look at that, Lucy. Her car got lost,” as the woman’s car drifts farther into the water.

When the Obama Foundation snagged a sweetheart deal to build its beleaguered Obama Presidential Center in a Chicago public park, it pledged to create a $470 million reserve fund to spare taxpayers should the project ever go belly up. But new tax filings show the foundation has only deposited $1 million into the fund and has not added to it in years, with critics saying the empty promise could potentially leave Chicagoans on the hoo(snip) Under its agreement with the city, the foundation was required to create the fund, known as an endowment, to take control of a sprawling 19.3-acre section of Jackson Park — often described as Chicago’s Central Park

The Republic of Ireland will offer families of supposed asylum seekers up to €10,000 to drop their claims and voluntarily leave the country, in an apparent admission that the government’s open borders policies have gone too far. Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan has signed an order to increase the voluntary return grant for alleged asylum seekers, increasing the payout to €2,500 ($2,900) for individuals or €10,000 ($11,700) for families who willingly drop their asylum claims and leave the country, The Irish Times reports. This is nearly double the previous payouts, which stood at €1,500 ($1,800) per person or €6,000 ($7,000) per family, prior to the order from Minister O’Callaghan.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! enjoyed a short-lived ratings bonanza after his triumphant post-suspension return to ABC. Kimmel's late night show returned to screens on Tuesday with record-breaking ratings, after he was suspended for five days over remarks he made about Charlie Kirk's assassination. As many as 6.5 million people tuned to Kimmel on Tuesday, which was a three times the show's usual audience and the biggest in over a decade. (Snip) Notably, Kimmel lost 73 percent of the viewers in the coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, getting just 465,000. Typically, Kimmel gets about 1.8 million viewers each night on television.

They say the only things in life that are certain are death and taxes, but I think I could add a third axiom to that list: President Donald Trump will vow to fix a problem, Democrats will claim it isn't a problem, or that he's an authoritarian overreacting. Trump will fix it anyway; they'll admit he was half-right, and the cycle will start over. This happened with the overrun border and a National Guard presence in Washington, DC, and it's bound to happen in Portland, Oregon, too. Oregon and Portland have sued the Trump administration after the president announced

The defense won’t waive its right to a preliminary hearing but needs more time before a date is set, the court-appointed attorney for Tyler James Robinson, the 22-year-old man charged with the murder of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, said Monday during a Utah County court waiver hearing. Kathryn Nester, Robinson’s lawyer, told Judge Tony Graf in the Provo courtroom that she needs at least another month to weigh through a massive amount of documents before further discussion about a preliminary hearing. Graf set another waiver hearing for 10 a.m. Mountain Standard Time Oct. 30, and the prosecution and defense had no objections to the date and time.

The Trump administration just pulled off something most Americans probably didn’t think was possible: shrinking the federal bureaucracy in a massive and meaningful way. On Tuesday, more than 100,000 federal workers are expected to walk out the door through a deferred resignation program, marking the largest single-year reduction in the civilian federal workforce since World War II. Factor in layoffs, buyouts, early retirements, and natural attrition, and the government could shed roughly 275,000 employees by the end of 2025.
