Panetta: One Accident Could Result in
War with Venezuela
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 10/25/2025 7:18:39 PM
Friday on CNN’s “The Lead,” former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said President Donald Trump’s military deployment to Venezuela could mean that one accident could cause a war. Host Jake Tapper asked, “How serious is this? Do you think we could really see the U.S. strike inside Venezuela, or potentially even having American boots on the ground?” Panetta said, “Well, look, there’s no question, Jake, there we’re dealing with a very serious deployment of our forces right now. We’ve had B-1 bombers going near Venezuela. We’ve had B-52s and F-35 squadrons now in place. I think there’s also a submarine in place, eight warships, Reaper drones, and now this carrier group.

‘Absolutely disgraceful’: Illinois

Dem distributes ICE agents’ car details,

Calls rang out for lawmakers in Illinois to face charges after details of doxxing federal immigration enforcement operations were distributed, “putting a target on agents’ backs …”
From sit-ins to marches and “fiery but mostly peaceful” protests, the left has a longstanding tradition of elevating and rewarding agitators and disruptors — so much so that members of the Squad had even pretended to be handcuffed. Now it seemed that state officials in the Land of Lincoln were goading Attorney General Pam Bondi to hold them accountable as they emailed constituents the makes, models, license plate numbers, and whereabouts of vehicles used toward deportation efforts.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is trotting out the oldest, tiredest, dustiest line of attack her party has to offer.
It feels like the attacks on President Donald Trump from the left have gotten lazier and lazier, culminating in the latest screed from Crockett accusing his administration of racism. She also made sure to throw in some attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for good measure, since that’s the left’s current hate target.

“Imma just call a thing a thing. This administration is racist. He has always been a racist, and that is what we’re enduring in this country,” she said of Trump.

Police officers and good Samaritans rushed to help Thursday when a mother and her baby were involved in a rollover car wreck in Fort Worth, Texas.
The crash happened on Interstate 30 between Eastchase Parkway and Cooks Lane and the aftermath was caught on an officer’s body camera, Fox 4 reported on Friday.
A woman and her baby had been ejected from the vehicle and the officers and other people at the scene knew there was no time to waste in locating and rescuing them.
The video footage shows officers approaching the overturned vehicle and joining others in getting down on their hands and knees to search for the mother and baby.
In Governor J.B. Pritzker’s Illinois, taxpayers are funding one of the most shocking sanctuary state scandals to date: an illegal alien working as a sworn police officer.
His salary, benefits, and pension package together cost the public more than $205,000 this year alone.
Radule Bojovic, an illegal alien from Montenegro, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Operation Midway Blitz on October 15.
ICE officials confirmed Bojovic had been unlawfully living in the United States for over a decade after overstaying his B-2 visitor visa, which expired on March 31, 2015.
The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is finally turning the screws on Antifa and its network of domestic terrorists.
Acting U.S. Attorney for California, Bill Essayli, dropped a bombshell on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” revealing that federal prosecutors are actively considering Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges against these anarchists who have terrorized American cities for years with impunity.
“We’ve charged some conspiracies. We are looking at RICO. But really, the FBI is just getting its hands around the Antifa. Up until the President and the attorney general, Pam Bondi, has been so aggressive on this, up until they’ve made Antifa a domestic organization.
The Schumer Shutdown is rolling on with no signs of any imminent deals, and some government benefit programs are starting to run out of funds. One such is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the food stamp program. It's about to run out of money, but Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) has introduced a bill to fund the program through the shutdown.
The Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025 would keep the food aid program funded during the government lapse until the Department of Agriculture is funded through regular appropriations or stopgap measures.
The bill is the companion to a SNAP-funding bill in the Senate
Legacy Media Once Again Flails With 'Fake

News' on Trump Planning to Name WH Ballroom
After Himself 8 replies
When I first read this legacy media story about the ballroom being built at the White House on Friday evening, my first reaction was: "so, what?" I'll get to that in a minute.
Incredible that this is still a story, but this is what the legacy media has devolved into. Little more than a weekly rag-level of reporting. The fact that Democrats have previously done extensive construction on the WH has barely fazed them.
Notice how little interest they have shown for actual news about the renovation. I first wrote on the ballroom story in Aug., when President Trump took a stroll on the roof with the architect:
The Department of Justice announced that it will monitor polling sites in six jurisdictions ahead of the upcoming November 4, 2025, general election to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law.
The Department, through the Civil Rights Division, enforces federal voting rights laws that protect the rights of all eligible citizens to access the ballot. The Department regularly deploys its staff to monitor for compliance with federal civil rights laws in elections in communities across the country.
“Transparency at the polls translates into faith in the electoral process, and this Department of Justice is committed to upholding the highest standards of election integrity,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
Run, Kamala! Run!

Just when you thought Kamala Harris had taken a hint from history, she’s back, dangling the prospect of a 2028 presidential run. Some liberals apparently can’t take “no” for an answer—especially when “no” came in the form of a historic landslide defeat last year.
In a laughably tone-deaf BBC interview, the twice-failed presidential candidate declared she’s “not done” with politics. Asked if she’d run again, Harris responded with her patented indecipherable shrug: “Possibly.” Decision? Still pending. Impact? Already disastrous.
Kamala’s claim of being “not done” might make her feel heroic, but to the rest of America, it looks like her denying her résumé of failure: tanked economy, open borders,
The illegal alien truck driver responsible for a fatal crash earlier this year in Florida failed his commercial drivers’ license (CDL) test in Washington a staggering 10 times within a two-month window.
Between March and May 2023, Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India, tested 10 times to try to obtain a CDL license to drive trucks in the state of Washington. He failed every single time, according to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin and the Florida attorney general’s office.
Yet, insanely, not only did the state of Washington eventually give Singh a CDL license anyway, but the state of California also gave him one.
Man, the Democrats are dreary and wretched people, aren't they? I once had food poisoning and it was more entertaining than reading about whatever it is that the Dems are shrieking about on any given day.
This week, they have their adult diapers in a twist because President Trump is remodeling the White House. This is something that many presidents have done. The Democrats don't know that, however, because they've never read a history book that wasn't written by Howard Zinn. It's said that ignorance is bliss, but in this case it's misery-inducing for the perpetually ignorant Democrats.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the next Democratic presidential nominee must vow to demolish President Donald Trump's White House ballroom, proposing the pledge a litmus test for the party’s 2028 contenders.
"Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday. Swalwell's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for additional comment.
BOSTON —
Former President Joe Biden will be in Boston on Sunday to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.
Biden is scheduled to attend the event on Sunday at the institute's Columbia Point building in Boston, where he will be honored alongside former Labor Secretary and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh and retired U.S. Navy Admiral Lisa Franchetti. Walsh and Franchetti will both receive Awards for Inspired Leadership, the institute said in a statement. The awards will be presented during the Edward M. Kennedy Institute's 10th Anniversary Celebration, which is the organization's major annual fundraiser. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, who served with
Catherine Connolly, a pro-immigration self-avowed socialist running as an independent, won Ireland’s 2025 presidential election in a landslide Friday, defeating both of the nominees of the country’s two largest parties.
Connolly, 68, pulled in a massive 63.4% of votes, dwarfing the 29.5% received by Fine Gael nominee Heather Humphreys and the 7.2% won by Fianna Fáil nominee Jim Gavin. In her victory speech, the socialist promised to be “an inclusive president” multiple times and expressed her desire to “shape a new republic … that values and champions diversity … and the new people that have come to our country.”
The No Kings protests were a display of left-wing idiocy as participants dressed in costumes, chanted like ageing hippies at a Joan Baez concert, and held silly signs demanding that America have “no kings.”
It would appear that they achieved their goal, since we haven’t been ruled by a monarch in 249 years. Great job, guys.
As both our Nick Arama and Jennifer Oliver O’Connell noted in their coverage of the insanity, the crowds across the country seemed to look quite similar—they mostly seemed comprised of not-young white people. It turns out they were onto something, as American University researchers have discovered that one group in particular dominated the numbers
Wind Power: Not the Utopia We Were Sold On
19 replies
Wind power has been sold to us as an environmental utopia, with lower costs, but ends up being nothing of the sort in practice.
With the aid of government subsidies, we are putting up electric generating windmills all over the place. Such subsidies include the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which, according to the
Institute for Energy research (IRER), provides a per-kilowatt-hour tax credit for electricity generated by qualified wind projects; and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which provides a tax credit based on the investment made in renewable energy projects, including wind. According to IRER, trillions are being invested here. The United States, under the Biden-Harris climate bill,
For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out.
According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month.
It’s a far cry from the friendly dynamic Democrats once sold to the public. Remember the memes,
One person was killed and six others wounded when a mass shooting broke out during a homecoming event at Pennsylvania’s Lincoln University on Saturday night, creating a chaotic scene at one of the oldest HBCUs in the country.
Gunfire erupted at around 9:30 p.m. during a “tailgate celebration” near the football stadium at the historic Chester County campus, about 50 miles west of Philadelphia, according to officials.
“This is a devastating night in southern Chester County at Lincoln University,” District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe told reporters Sunday morning. “It was a chaotic scene and people fled in every direction.”
The Trump administration took a shot at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, accusing her of stealing furniture from the White House, after she criticized President Trump's new Ballroom renovations. "Failed presidential candidate and former First Lady Crooked Hillary Clinton stole furniture from the White House on her way out until she was forced to return it," White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital. "Crooked Hillary is shameless and a total disgrace. Meanwhile, President Trump is restoring the White House to its proper glory for Americans to enjoy for generations to come — at no expense to the taxpayer — something we should all celebrate."
Multiple suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft of crown jewels from the Louvre Museum in Paris last weekend, French officials said Sunday.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said that investigators made the arrests on Saturday evening, including one man who was taken into custody as he was about to leave the country from Charles de Gaulle airport.
Beccuau did not confirm the number of arrests, though French media BFM TV and Le Parisien newspaper earlier reported that two suspects had been arrested and taken into custody. She did not say whether the jewels had been recovered.
Thieves took less than eight minutes to steal jewels valued at 88 million euros
Moscow carried out a successful test of its new “invincible” nuclear-capable cruise missile, with the Kremlin now working to deploy the doomsday weapon, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
Putin hailed the test in a video released by the Kremlin while dressed in military fatigues, with the strongman calling on his top general to start preparing the Burevestnik missile for potential use.
“We need to determine the possible uses and begin preparing the infrastructure for deploying these weapons to our armed forces,” Putin instructed.
A new Oklahoma law that takes effect Nov. 1 will increase the instances when a Driving Under the Influence charge can be elevated to a felony.
Passing the bill had been Job One for Jeff Murrow, executive director of Victims of Impaired Drivers, ever since his daughter was killed by a drunk driver, according to KFOR-TV.
“Marissa was killed in October of 2020 by a man that was nearly three times the legal limit. Driving the wrong way on the Kilpatrick Turnpike,” he said. "You can’t say it’s a mistake when it’s their second, third, fourth time to repeat,” Murrow explained.
Crime Sweep and East Wing Renovation

To me, the most incredible story this week was well-buried in the press: The arrest of “La Diabla,” the female cartel member who butchered pregnant women, stole their organs, and sold their babies.
The day’s most astonishing crime-fighting anecdote came from Tulsi Gabbard, who described a story reported last month in the New York Post under the headline, “Female cartel member ‘La Diabla’ busted for running horrific baby-trafficking, organ-harvesting rings.” Tulsi described a new “Fusion Cell” at the ODNI that works with governments like Mexico to find and arrest evil cartel serial killers like “La Diabla” (the Devil), who in assembly-line fashion lured pregnant Mexican women, murdered them, harvested
