ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The Justice Department said in court on Nov. 19 that the full grand jury in former FBI Director James Comey’s case never saw the final indictment used to charge him, an issue Comey’s attorney described as fatal to the prosecution. The revelation was made amid scrutiny of the grand jury proceedings, but this particular hearing was focused on Comey’s argument that the prosecution should be dismissed as vindictive and unconstitutional. After some argument about the motion, Judge Michael Nachmanoff of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia asked Justice Department attorney Tyler Lemons for further details about the indictment.

The swamp ALWAYS protects its own creatures. This looks suspiciously like a deliberately self-sabotaged dog and pony show for the consumption of those outraged by Comey's rather obvious abuse of authority.

FTA: Trump wrote 'They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.’ Sounds like he gets it.

That is NOT what the prosecution said. The prosecution said the grand jury approved two of three counts, and they rewrote the indictment including only 2 of the indictments, which the grand jury had already seen (word for word), and approved.

Exclusive: GOP Leaders Grill Judge Boasberg
For Allowing Jack Smith To Spy On The Senate

A bicameral group of Republicans in Congress is grilling James Boasberg, the U.S. district chief judge for Washington, D.C., on his decision to allow lawfare activist Jack Smith to spy on the Senate, offering him the “opportunity to explain yourself publicly” for a decision that almost certainly violated federal law. As The Federalist reported, Boasberg approved a scheme under the Department of Justice’s Arctic Frost weaponization against Republicans in which Smith could subpoena the phone records of House and Senate Republicans and attach a nondisclosure order (NDO) so that the congressional bodies could not find out about it from the telecommunications providers being subpoenaed.

Pennsylvania will lose $75 million in federal roads funds unless it gets into compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) licensing requirements for non-domiciled commercial learner’s permits (CLP) and non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDL). That is according to an alarming letter DOT sent Wednesday to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll and Gov. Josh Shapiro. The threatened loss of funding comes on the heels of the recent Kansas arrest of an illegal alien wanted in Uzbekistan for belonging to a terrorist organization, according to ICE. As The Federalist previously reported, the alleged terrorist Akhror Bozorov was issued a non-domiciled CDL in Pennsylvania.

When Europe goes to war with Russia, they will not require the military to fill out customs declarations as they cross borders within the EU. Tanks, missiles, artillery and most combat weapons could be exempt from EU customs declarations if the plan by Brussels moves forwardAdditionally, under the proposal most drivers of military equipment may even be permitted to exceed the limits on driving times and rest periods, should the fight against Russia require extended physical effort. The newly proposed objective is to empower European soldiers to make independent decisions without having to fill out the customary paperwork, requiring prior approval from the European Commission before affixing their bayonets.

The Trump administration has done an admirable job of stopping border crossings by illegals since taking control of the executive branch in January, but as many Americans who voted for President Donald Trump know, stopping those people is only half the battle. The other half is efficient and effective mass deportations to the tune of 1 million per monthThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced in late October that more than 2 million illegals had left the country, most of whom self-deported, while DHS forcibly removed 500,000. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the Trump administration was on pace to deport 600,000 by the end of Trump’s first year back in office.

A panel of appeals court judges on Nov. 18 upheld a ruling against President Donald Trump in a case he brought against CNN. Trump did not adequately show that CNN defamed him when it reported that he promoted what it described as the “Big Lie” when challenging results from the 2020 presidential election, judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit concluded. Trump said that the phrase was intended to link him to Adolf Hitler and propaganda used by the Nazis in Germany, but the term is ambiguous enough to cast doubt on that allegation, according to the new ruling.

Fake news was working overtime on Monday by declaring, without authority, that the “full, complete” presidential pardons related to the 2020 presidential election cannot protect against bogus state charges arising from that election. Corporate media wrongly insisted that the pardon clause in the U.S. Constitution applies only to charges brought by federal prosecutors. Not so. The pardon clause states that the president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Every attempt in court to narrow the scope of the pardon clause has failed.

Republicans are at odds over an effort to unwind a controversial provision tucked into the bill to reopen the government that would allow senators to sue for substantial sums if they aren’t notified when federal law enforcement seeks their phone records. The provision has fueled classic tensions between the House and the Senate, prompted an effort to repeal the new law, divided Republicans, and started to become fodder for primary opponents. Signed into law by President Trump last week, the unusual addition to the spending bill fundamentally changes how investigators must treat the 100 members of the Senate.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has long championed the importance of civic education in America. So, it wasn’t totally surprising when he issued a stark warning about what happens when a people abandon their shared history and responsibilities. The moment came on Thursday morning when Gorsuch appeared on Fox News’ Fox & Friends to debut his new children’s book, The Heroes of 1776. The literary work seeks to take kids on a journey through the harrowing stories of the Founding Fathers and lesser-known patriots during the Revolutionary War era.

Indiana’s attorney general took two major enforcement actions this week targeting potential migrant trafficking. This week, Todd Rokita’s office sent subpoenas to several Indiana entities, including Fort Wayne, the state’s second-largest city; Amazon; and Catholic Charities. “I believe these entities have vital information to root out labor trafficking right here,” Rokita said in a press conference at the Allen County courthouse Nov. 13. His office declined to disclose the subpoena contents beyond mentioning business, financial, and client records and relationships, saying confidentiality is legally required because subpoenas do not accuse recipients of wrongdoing but solely seek information.

Nov. 18 should henceforth be recognized as far more dangerous than Jan. 6 ever was. Far more shocking. And an actual attempt at fomenting an insurrection, a coup. The “Nov. 18ers” should be forever shamed and discredited. Rather than hundreds of unruly Trump supporters strolling through the Capitol building, many of whom were subsequently incarcerated for doing so, we have just witnessed six sitting Democratic lawmakers openly urge members of the military and intelligence community to defy direct orders from the president of the United States.

More Catholics need to push back against the ridiculous and unhealthy political views liberal clergy keep pushing. Every nation has the right to protect itself and its borders, a principle that, until recent years, didn’t spark much controversy.

Convenience store giant 7-Eleven has found itself the target of social media outrage after a story about how it treated one of its employees was made public. Stephanie Dilyard worked at one 7-Eleven store in Oklahoma City when she was given a counterfeit $100 bill from a customer. Dilyard refused to accept it and the man attacked her, tried to strangle Dilyard for doing her job. Unfortunately for that man, later identified as Kenneth Thompson, Dilyard was armed, and she shot him. In response, 7-Eleven fired Dilyard from her job.

He is joined in celebration by his conniving wife, Dr. Jill Biden, his crackhead lothario son, Hunter Biden, his utterly disgraced former White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, and other deranged weirdos who view Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 campaign as a national tragedy.

The wealthy oceanfront town of Carmel, California, has banned pickleball in its public park after residents complained that the constant sound of paddles striking balls was too noisy. The Carmel City Council voted earlier this month to permanently prohibit the sport at Forest Hill Park, the only public pickleball location within city limits, marking the first such ban in the state, according to sfgate.com. Residents reported that the "popping" sound had been echoing through the neighborhood as players participated in the game that has grown in popularity, particularly among seniors and retirees, the outlet reported.

Liberal loudmouth Rep. Jasmine Crockett gave a mind-boggling explanation for why she accused Lee Zeldin and other Republicans on the House floor of taking donations from Jeffrey Epstein — desperately insisting she never said she was referring to the late convicted pedophile. Crockett (D-Texas) tried to defend herself Wednesday night in a CNN appearance after she was ripped for boldly implying that she’d found evidence linking the Long Island Republican and other prominent GOPers to the disgraced financier, who died in 2019. “Listen, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein,” Crockett told “The Source” host Kaitlin Collins after being given the chance to correct the record.

With a little less than a year to go before the 2026 midterm elections, a Marist Poll shows Democrats leading Republicans by a massive +14 points in the generic ballot. “Democrats currently have a 14-point lead against the Republicans among registered voters nationally on the 2026 generic congressional ballot question,” writes Marist. “This has changed considerably. Since 2022, voters have been divided about which party’s candidate they would support.” This, even though those polled “place most of the blame for the shutdown on congressional Democrats.” Still, “six in ten [blame] either the President or the GOP in Congress.”

Dick Cheney's funeral was held on Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Cheney served as Vice President under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. He died on Nov. 3, at 84 years old, "due to complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease." Bush and Cheney's daughter, Liz, gave the eulogies. What got a lot of talk on social media about was who was there - and who wasn't. Starting with the "who wasn't," President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were not invited. Cheney and his daughter were big critics of Trump, and they supported Kamala Harris in her 2024 presidential run.
