Attorney General Pam Bondi got into a heated exchange with Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), accusing him of “lying” about his military record when asked about the lobbying activities of her former firm, Ballard Partners. The back-and-forth took place during a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing with Bondi on Tuesday.(snip)That prompted an indignant response from Bondi, who immediately pivoted to accusing Blumenthal of lying about his military record. “Sen. Blumenthal, I cannot believe that you would accuse me of impropriety when you lied about your military service. You lied, you admitted you lied to be elected a U.S. senator,” she said, speaking over Blumenthal.

On Tuesday, the second anniversary of the horrific Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that claimed 1,200 lives, terrorist sympathizers took to the streets to declare that the violence was not “enough.”
“We did not act enough! We did not act enough. Repeat after me, ‘We did not act enough.’ If we acted enough, the headline behind me would read, ‘Gaza has been liberated,’” one man yelled. “So our work is not done. We will show up, stronger than we did the first Oct. 7. Louder than we did the first Oct. 7 to make it clear that we are not going anywhere. We will keep fighting until Palestine is free,
ATLANTA — Months after escaping, the final inmate who got out of a Louisiana jail is back in custody.
The Louisiana State Police and the U.S. Marshals Service told WSB that Derrick Groves was part of a brief standoff on Wednesday.
Groves, who was in prison for murder after shooting two people in 2018, was one of 10 inmates who got out of the Orleans Justice Center in May by opening a faulty jail cell door, moving a toilet and squeezing through a hole.
The U.S. Supreme Court seems poised to rule against Colorado’s law banning so-called conversion therapy for LGBT youth.
During a hearing on Oct. 7, several justices appeared sympathetic to a therapist’s challenge to the ban on the grounds that it violates her First Amendment rights to free speech. Lower courts had ruled that the law regulates a therapist’s conduct, finding that any infringement on her speech was incidental.
Colorado’s Prohibit Conversion Therapy for a Minor Law was enacted in 2019, and bans licensed therapists from trying to “change an individual’s sexual orientation, including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attraction or feelings
The most destructive inferno in Los Angeles history, which charred a devastating path through Pacific Palisades and Malibu in early January, was a rekindling fire that an Uber driver intentionally set days earlier near a popular hiking area, federal investigators alleged.
Authorities on Wednesday also announced the arrest of 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht, who is suspected of setting the initial fire on New Year’s Eve. Rinderknecht, of Florida, was charged with maliciously starting what eventually became the Palisades fire. Among the evidence that was collected from his digital devices was an image he generated on ChatGPT depicting a burning city, said U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.
As the government shutdown goes into its second week, Democrats have found an unlikely ally as they hope to extend subsidies for the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance marketplace: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
On Monday evening, Greene posted on X how she did not like the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, but had come to a stark reality about it.
“Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan,” she said. “But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the
When the White House discouraged Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from launching a Senate bid in Georgia this spring, Greene — a longtime loyal ally of President Donald Trump — agreed to back off her statewide ambitions.
But that didn’t mean the firebrand Republican was going to back down from other fights she felt were worth waging —(snip)She also slammed the Republican-led Senate, insisting she was never all that interested in serving there anyway, even though she had publicly talked about her desire to run.
“I don’t want to serve in that institution. Look at them. They’re literally the reason why the government is shut down right now,”

Virginia Democrats have taken up the task of defending attorney general candidate Jay Jones after newly surfaced text messages show Jones fantasizing about murdering Republicans and their children. A group of Democrat committees rushed to Jones’ defense, insisting, “Let those without sin cast the first stone” — as if calling for the murder of an opponent and his children is a common human mistake.
In a newly released 2022 exchange with Republican House Delegate Carrie Coyner, Jones said it would be a “good thing” if his former legislative colleague’s children died.
Virginia’s Democrat candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, Abigail Spanberger and Ghazala Hashmi, are refusing to withdraw their support for Democrat Jay Jones’ attorney general bid after the latter’s comments fantasizing about shooting a Republican lawmaker became public.
The revelation comes after the Friday release of a bombshell National Review report disclosing 2022 text messages Jones sent to a GOP state legislator. As The Federalist’s Breccan Thies summarized, the Democrat now running to serve as Virginia’s chief law enforcement officer mused “about assassinating then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, and ‘wished’ death upon Gilbert’s children.”
state court ruling late last week ordering the Wisconsin Elections Commission to deal with its dirty voter rolls could have national implications in the election-integrity battle to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in U.S. elections.
Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Maxwell issued writ of mandamus requiring the state’s election regulator check Wisconsin’s voter registration list for noncitizens. The judge enjoined the Elections Commission and local elections offices from accepting voter registrations without first verifying the citizenship status of the applicant.

After He Fantasized About Assassinating Republican 25 replies
In response to a Federalist inquiry, not a single Democrat U.S. Senator called for the Virginia Democrat attorney general candidate Jay Jones to drop out of the race in light of his text messages fantasizing about assassinating Republican Todd Gilbert.
“Put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones wrote, after running a hypothetical about how to allocate two bullets among Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. The 2022 text messages were first reported by National Review on Friday. According to a source cited by the outlet, Jones also “suggested he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die-

As part of a political corruption probe, the FBI obtained evidence that former President Bill Clinton was being paid through a backdoor arrangement with an allied consultant, according to a 2017 document released Tuesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Sen. Chuck Grassley.
The Iowa Republican senator raised the issue in a hearing with Attorney General Pam Bondi and questioned whether the FBI and Justice Department fully investigated the findings.
Hamas has agreed to a peace deal pushed by President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza and return the hostages, two years after the terrorist network attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparking not only the bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust, but a deadly war and a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to make the announcement: "I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw

A Florida firebug has been arrested for allegedly “maliciously” sparking the Palisades Fire — the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history — that left 12 dead and caused about $150 billion in damages earlier this year, the feds revealed Wednesday.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is accused of sparking January’s raging inferno that devastated more than 6,000 homes and buildings in the wealthy coastal enclave.
“Rinderknecht started a fire in Pacific Palisades on New Year’s Day — a blaze that eventually turned into one of the most destructive fires in Los Angeles history, causing death and widespread destruction,” Acting US Attorney Bill Essayli said.

Tours at the Capitol have come to a standstill. The House is keeping its doors closed, while the Senate is stuck in a loop of failed votes on a rejected plan to reopen the government. President Donald Trump is threatening to mass fire federal workers and refuse back pay for the rest.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a federal charge of lying to Congress five years ago. Comey, 64, also denied a charge of obstruction of justice tied to the long-running probe into alleged collusion between President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russian officials. His trial was set for Jan. 5, 2026, after a brief hearing. The two-page indictment handed up by a federal grand jury last month accuses Comey of lying during a Sept. 30, 2020, Senate Judiciary Committee hearing when he claimed he didn’t approve leaks

Celebrating the End of EVs

The $7,500 federal “incentive” dangled as an inducement to move the EV needle has expired. This means EV sales — if you want to use that word to describe a transaction involving the buyer, the seller, and you, the party who is taxed to “help” facilitate it — are likely to slide even farther below the waterline than they already were. This tends to happen when people are obliged to pay full price for a thing that is only tempting to them when it is heavily discounted — like those half-off dented cans of soup you sometimes see on sale at the supermarket.
A charity paid to take 70 migrants on a trip to the seaside - to help them overcome the stress of making small boat crossings.
The refugees were treated to a beach day which included ‘swimming, dancing, relaxation and connection’ at Margate in Kent - just along the coast from Dover where the small boats sail to. This summer’s visit was organised by refugee charity West London Welcome. Posting about the day trip on its website, charity bosses explained: ‘Over 70 of us went to Margate together for a day of swimming, dancing, relaxation and connection.
