Colombia's Petro Picks a Fight With Trump.
Spoiler Alert: FAFO
Posted By: 4250Luis, 10/20/2025 1:29:29 AM
In 2022, Gustavo Petro, a former member of the M-19 guerrilla group and all-around nutcase, became Colombia's first left-wing leader since the founding of the country. In three years, his popularity ratings have tanked, he's been involved in scandal after scandal, and his reckless economic policies have stalled the country's growth. Heck, in just the last three or so weeks, he's had his United States visa revoked, become an arm chair "No Kings" rally expert, and accused our country of killing poor little fishermen in the Caribbean Sea — fishermen who just happened to have illegal drugs on board their fancy narco-boats.

We Are Not Fooled by You, Hamas

Hamas is not just at war with Israel. It is at war with Jews, Christians, and the very foundations of civilization itself.... This is not politics, this is a religious war. Its purpose is to replace Judaism and Christianity with radical Islam. If the world does not understand this, everyone will pay the price." — Mosab Hassan Yousef, eldest son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, JNS, August 17, 2025.
Notwithstanding peace treaties or a tenuous cessation of hostilities between Israel and its neighbors, much of the Islamic world remains at war with the West, especially with many dedicated activists, such as Qatar, Turkey and the Palestinian Authority in its midst.
State lawmakers are accusing Gov. Kathy Hochul of retaliating against them for continuing a probe into mounting claims her administration rigged the contract for a massive $11 billion Medicaid homecare program.
State Sens. Jim Skoufis (D-Orange) and Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx) plan to send a letter Tuesday demanding Hochul’s administration turn over evidence surrounding bid rigging and other allegations centering on her overhaul of the $11 billion per year Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program.
While the lawmakers were finalizing plans to move the investigation forward last week, Hochul took the unusual step of vetoing several of Skoufis’ bills, including one that would reimburse pharmacies for consulting patients on abortion procedures.
Indicted former FBI Director James Comey is seeking to have his criminal case dismissed on the grounds that he is the victim of selective prosecution because of President Trump’s disdain for him. Comey’s defense team filed a motion to dismiss Tuesday, arguing that the Trump administration’s false statements case is an unconstitutional abuse of power by the Trump administration.
“Ample objective evidence—much of which comes directly from government officials’ own public statements and admissions—establishes that the government’s animus toward Mr. Comey led directly to this vindictive and selective prosecution,” Comey’s attorneys said in court papers.
“The proper remedy for the government’s constitutional violations is a dismissal with prejudice.
Some Democrats skeptical about their leadership’s hard-line stance against reopening the federal government privately acknowledge that they fear getting “hammered” by their liberal base if they vote for a Republican funding bill.
Grassroots Democrats frustrated with the Trump administration have been demanding a fight, and on Saturday millions showed up at “No Kings” demonstrations across the country to protest the president’s government.In that context, Democrats know they will get hit hard by a number of voices on the left if they do not get something for opening the government.
The “No Kings” protesters are not satisfied with the concept of persuading people to adopt their political views; instead, they want to kill their opposition and then celebrate the death the way they lauded Charlie Kirk’s murder. It sounds like a harsh accusation until you read the signs protesters made and carried during Saturday’s “No Kings” events.
Many were straight calls for murder, and others were so vile that they call into question the sanity of anyone comfortable carrying such words — like the woman with the sloppy cardboard sign scrawled with a marker: “Which one heals faster? (A) Trump’s ear (B) Erika’s heart,” referring to Charlie Kirk’s widow.

New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to discuss the governor’s race. Fox News polling showed Ciattarelli behind, but he disagreed and said that the polling that was provided was not accurate.
He is running against Democrat candidate Mikie Sherrill, a Congresswoman from New Jersey.
“We have brand new Fox News polling out on your race this week. It is tightening. You are still lagging by four to five points, based on some of the data,” Bream said.
“How do you close this out in the next couple of weeks and change those minds?” Bream asked.
I don't know if you've seen anything about Barack Obama's presidential center. But if you didn't, he posted about it on Saturday. It's been a boondoggle now for some time. It is, in fact, the perfect representation of Barack Obama.
Here's a Newsweek headline on the project: "Behind Schedule, Over Budget, and Mired in Lawsuits."The local community was also unhappy with it or had concerns. One resident called it a "monstrosity," taking away from the beautiful area that once was there. So much for the feelings of the locals. Guess those got lost in the narcissism.
Obviously, readers here are well aware of our research files on former DOJ-NSD head, Mary McCord, and her various tentacles of operations against Donald Trump before and after the 2016 election.
To enhance this ongoing effort, Twitter user “pepesgrandma” shares an email exchange from Mary McCord to the FBI in December of 2020 following the election.
Apparently, Mary McCord was conducting surveillance of an Oathkeeper chat room and sending information to the FBI following the November 2020 election, and in the runup to the January 6, 2021, protest.
Leftists are so obsessed with the Trump collusion hoax that they are seeing ‘connections’ in the most ridiculous of places, including the choice of tie that War Secretary Pete Hegseth wore yesterday. Not surprisingly, the latest conspiracy theory regarding Trump-Russia backfired.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, a high-stakes meeting Friday involving President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took place in the Cabinet Room of the White House, a departure from the typical Oval Office meetings that the President holds with foreign leaders.
The protesters weren’t the only senior citizens at the ‘No Kings’ protests today. In Massachusetts, Senator Ed Markey was out in full force, yelling about the fact that we don’t have kings in the United States, as if we didn’t know that.
The ironic part is that Ed Markey has been in elected office in Massachusetts since 1973.
From his Wikipedia page:
Edward John Markey (born July 11, 1946) is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from the state of Massachusetts, a seat he has held since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he served 20 terms (18 full, two partial) as the U.S.
Republicans and Democrats who can’t agree on much of anything these days — including how to keep the basic functions of the federal government up and running — seem to be finding common ground on how to approach an industry that’s poised to dominate the American economy: artificial intelligence.
Citing an imperative to protect American workers and children from the predations of artificial intelligence, a bipartisan coalition is emerging to establish safeguards around the technology.
The AI safety movement is fast becoming a powerful force on the state and national levels with advocates spanning the entire political spectrum. Its growing political strength ...

In its Sunday episode of “60 Minutes,” the broadcast television network CBS misrepresented the facts in the civil immigration lawsuit brought against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is separately charged with human smuggling in Tennessee by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The segment featured an interview of Erez Reuveni, who was fired from the DOJ earlier this year for allegedly failing to appropriately defend the DHS from the lawsuit filed by Abrego Garcia, conducted by “60 Minutes” reporter Scott Pelley
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is proposing the revival of a corporate tax that the Windy City eliminated over a decade ago that businesses are warning would cost the city jobs. Johnson is proposing a so-called "head tax" that would apply to companies with more than 100 employees and would levy a monthly $21 per employee on companies that meet the employment threshold. The amount of the tax would increase based on inflation, and would be assessed based on the number of employees who work in Chicago 50% or more of the time. The mayor sees it as a means of

It couldn’t have happened to a better person. The individual who was caught on camera yelling racist tropes at Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears at a football game has lost his job.
The incident happened over the weekend when Earle-Sears attended a football game at James Madison University. A White leftist in the crowd named Scott Pogorelc began screaming at the candidate, telling her to “go back to Haiti” and calling her a “traitor.” [snip] it wasn’t enough for the guy to humiliate himself by failing to get his racist tropes right, he did it on camera,
Mohammed Nazzal, a senior official with the Hamas terrorist organization, defended his group’s mass execution of Palestinian civilians on Friday after President Donald Trump warned Hamas could face utter destruction for the murders. Nazzal, a member of the Hamas Politburo, defended public executions as “exceptional measures” for dealing with “criminals.” He denied accusations that Hamas was simply rounding up and killing its adversaries to keep power in Gaza, even though the ceasefire deal stipulated that Hamas would play no role in postwar administration.
The "No Kings" weekend of absurdity has ended, and many of us are still pointing and laughing at videos of aging Boomer hippies and Gen Z nitwits, both of which groups are shrieking incoherently about "tyranny" when in a real tyranny they would not be allowed to shriek incoherently about "tyranny." A casual read through history reveals very clearly, after all, that real tyrants aren't really big on free speech.
You can't expect any intellectual consistency from these people, after all. But now the raging of the nitwits has some Democrat Senators worried about holding the line in the ongoing Schumer Shutdown - worried, not about Republicans,
Liberals tell us 1) that Charlie Kirk had it coming, but 2) hardly any liberals approved of his murder. Both of those assertions are false. At City Journal, the Manhattan Institute’s Christina Buttons reminds us of some basic facts. Copious links are omitted:
When the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated last month, leaders in both parties condemned the attack, and many mourned the husband and father of two. But some progressives on social media had a different reaction: they rationalized, mocked, and even celebrated the killing.
The scale of this reaction was not trivial. An online database logged over 63,000 user-submitted posts that cheered Kirk’s death, though the site
The House Judiciary Committee referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution on Tuesday over allegations that he “knowingly made false statements” to Congress about his role in the Russia collusion hoax.
In the letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi obtained by The Federalist, Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that “Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”
Attendance was so bad, the legacy media was using protest shots from years ago. Worse still, the smattering of crowds were all old, white hippies.
MSNBC falsely aired video from 2017 claiming it was LIVE footage from yesterday’s “No Kings” rally in Boston in order to portray a massive turnout for “No Kings.” It was anything but.
These are theatrics, performances engineered by the global left elite (Soros et al). The bottom line is the far left is a fringe movement amplified by the Democrats and their media axis. They control big media and they rig elections so , in their minds, it’s a fait accompli. The people be damned.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday identified Gelsen Verela Dubon, the 18-year-old who was arrested following a high speed chase with Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), as an illegal immigrant from Honduras.
An ICE spokesman reportedly confirmed Verela Dubon (pictured above) is a Honduran national in a statement to WKRN, and Davidson County Sheriff’s Office records show he is currently being held on a detainer requested by ICE. According to ICE, such detainers are lodged, “against potentially dangerous aliens who have been arrested by another law enforcement agency or are removable from the United States.”

Pop quiz. During which Trump administration did the following happen?
ICE has been targeting the home of immigrant children, mothers, and families in California, leading one critic to say the raids “go against our nation’s fundamental values of equality and justice for all.”
Another said, “How then could America say it’s OK to send parents of children away? What value system is that? I think it’s un-American.”
The American Immigration Council said that “ICE raids have left children without parents and feeling abandoned, separated nursing babies from their mothers, separated pregnant wives from their husbands, and compelled local communities and organizations to scramble to address child welfare crises in their wake.”
Former Biden White House Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Trump White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt “deplorable” during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday.
“The View” asked Karine Jean-Pierre to react to a clip of Leavitt and a text exchange she had with a far-left Huffington Post ‘reporter.’
Karine Jean-Pierre echoed Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” insult and called Leavitt “deplorable.”
“Any advice for the current press secretary?” Sunny Hostin asked KJP.
In New Mexico, it’s almost impossible to prove voter fraud. No proof of citizenship is required to register to vote, and no voter ID is required for in-person voting. For absentee voting, no photo ID is required to obtain an absentee ballot, no copy of a photo ID need be included with the returned absentee ballot, and there is no signature verification of the signature on the returned inner envelope.
Why does New Mexico have such slipshod laws? You can thank the Democrat-controlled state Legislature that has had single-party rule for decades.
