- If we are living in an age of lawfare, this is fast becoming a war of attrition. The dismissal of the indictment of James Comey and Letitia James is the latest twist in the controversial prosecutions of Trump antagonists. Letitia James immediately posted her own message celebrating the decision, but she may want to focus on the prepositional phrase after the word dismissal: without prejudice. The Administration may still be able to resuscitate the case.
Friday night, X released a long requested profile update revealing the location of users, including anonymous users. A few glorious hours following that initial and immediately legendary release, the feature was temporarily shut down as the American commentariat erupted in surprised Pikachu shock at the revelation that much of our domestic online discourse is shaped by catfishing rage farmers from the Third World, the ranks of which include many popular anonymous accounts.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's dismissive description of half the country as a "basket of deplorables" may have cost her the 2016 election. Now the National Education Association's use of "villains," in handouts for an upcoming "Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice and Transgender Advocacy" training, may fuel bicameral efforts to remove its 119-year-old congressional charter.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is launching an investigation into Sixteen Thirty Fund's Chorus Creator Incubator Program, according to letters obtained by the Daily Caller. The Sixteen Thirty Fund -- whose donors include nonprofits tied to George Soros -- is a nonprofit that has been accused of trying to sidestep campaign-finance disclosure rules enforced by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and Justice Department. It also bypasses standard media-ethics practices meant to differentiate real journalism from paid political work that must be disclosed, according to Comer.

Jury Indictment, Claims Magistrate Omitted

Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is defending her handling of the grand jury proceedings, which resulted in two criminal charges against fired FBI Director James Comey, in the wake of critiques from a magistrate judge and probing questions Wednesday from the federal judge presiding over the case. Halligan . . . pushed back on multiple criticisms in Wednesday evening court filings, telling the judge that "the grand jury was provided the proposed indictment, deliberated, and determined probable cause existed to believe that the defendant had committed the crimes charged in two counts" and claiming that the magistrate judge had misrepresented her comments . . . .
We are all owed a better explanation from the FBI and Secret Service about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump 16 months ago at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The President himself remains unsatisfied with the answers he's been given about the circumstances leading to 20-year-old Thomas Crooks climbing on a rooftop with an AR-15 rifle and firing eight times at Trump, narrowly missing his head but hitting his head.

When a respected former prosecutor approached the Justice Department in 2018 with a witness who claimed he had evidence on Hunter Biden's alleged misdeeds, they discounted his offer and later subpoenaed his phone records. The incident is gaining new salience after recent revelations that DOJ special counsel Jack Smith cast a net of subpoenas for phone records of several GOP members of Congress and even obtained government phones that had belonged to President Donald Trump and his former vice president.
The Trump administration has so far remained silent on a widening corruption scandal inside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government and inner circle. The White House did not respond to a request for comment on a $100 million corruption probe announced this week that has already prompted the resignations of senior Ukrainian officials. Corruption has long been a friction point in U.S.-Ukraine relations.

Months before he was fired as FBI Director, James Comey expressed discomfort in the final weeks of the 2016 election when he was compelled to tell Congress that agents had found more Hillary Clinton emails on a laptop belonging to disgraced former Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner, according to newly released court records.
Alan Dershowitz, a former defense attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, said he wants to release "important" files on the dead sex criminal -- and would happily turn them over to Piers Morgan -- but judges are blocking him from doing so. The famous lawyer, during an appearance on Piers Morgan uncensored on Wednesday, pleaded directly to the camera and asked for the green light to release the documents.

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid wondered on the "I’ve Had It" podcast whether Vice President JD Vance is planning to find a new wife to appeal to the MAGA base because she's Indian American. Reid speculated that Vance might not be the 2028 heir apparent to President Donald Trump because MAGA supporters wouldn't accept someone like Usha Vance as first lady. "They can't have the successor to MAGA be the guy with the Brown Hindu wife," she said of Vance. "They're also Christian nationalists. That ain't going to work. That's why he's throwing his wife under the bus. Poor Usha.

As families across the U.S. gather on Thanksgiving to celebrate one of the nation’s most cherished national holidays, some educators and schools are lamenting the day, pushing back on its "colonial" roots, and incorporating diversity, equality and inclusion DEI into the holiday. At the University of California, Davis, the California History-Social Science Project, which describes itself as "Resources & professional learning for K-12 history-social science," hosted a Zoom event called "Decolonizing Thanksgiving in the Classroom."

Trump in ‘Check’ 25 replies
California gubernatorial candidate and Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) claims that military members have privately confided in him plans to serve as a "check" to any orders issued by President Trump, suggesting they could defy their superiors.
The idea that service members are secretly huddling with a congressman who can't bench press above 135 and whose top athletic feat was having to retire from soccer after breaking both of his thumbs is specious at best.
That said, his remarks are an attempt to keep the sedition train rolling in the wake of a video from six Democratic lawmakers encouraging military members to defy orders from their superiors.
Affordability – for them.
One of socialist Zohran Mamdani’s first decisions as mayor could be whether to give himself and his City Council pals a big fat pay raise.
Councilwoman Nantasha Williams (D-Queens) pushed a bill Tuesday to bump pay for the city’s elected officials by more than 16%, with an eye to sending it to Mamdani’s desk after he’s sworn in as mayor on Jan. 1.
But the original plan for the bill had originally been to set up a speedy vote this month, before Mamdani took office – a maneuver council members had to scuttle when they realized city law blocked them from-
Two uniformed military personnel, appearing to be National Guardsmen, have been shot in downtown Washington just blocks from the White House, according to two sources familiar with the ongoing situation.
The Metropolitan Police Department said it is on the scene of a shooting at 17th and I streets.
"Please avoid the area as MPD and our partners work to secure the scene," the MPD wrote on X.
California has long been a “fuel island” — a state whose gasoline and diesel markets are isolated from the rest of the country — but that could soon end under a proposed plan to build the first-ever pipeline to bring refined products directly to the West Coast. Known as the Western Gateway Pipeline, the project from oil major Phillips 66 and global pipeline giant Kinder Morgan would deliver gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to Arizona and California from as far east as Missouri by 2029. The companies are currently scoping out demand and seeking commitments from customers in what is known as an “open season.”
The crazed gunman who shot two National Guard troops in a possible terror attack near the White House Wednesday has been identified as a 29-year-old Afghan national who came to the US during the chaotic 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, law enforcement sources told The Post. Rahmanullah Lakanwal was allegedly lying in wait before he rounded the corner near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC around 2:15 p.m., then opened fire, striking a female guard in the chest before shooting her in the head, according to law enforcement sources. Lakanwal, who entered the country under Operation
For those of you upset that Florida Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick allegedly used your taxpayer money to win herself an election, please note that she didn’t just use it for that.
Instead, of the $5 million overpayment of COVID-era disaster relief to a healthcare company controlled by her family didn’t merely win her the seat of the late Alcee Hastings. No, that was only $1.14 million of it. And even some of that went to purchasing a 3.14-carat yellow diamond ring.
On Tuesday, as the Miami Herald reported, Cherfilus-McCormick appeared in a Miami courtroom to surrender to the court regarding the 15-count indictment against her. She’s charged with — deep breath —

Forget the Hollywood sign — the newest landmark in Tinseltown is a $10 billion pile of dirt that’s about to become one of the most exclusive addresses on the planet.
The massive One Beverly Hills project has officially gotten off the ground, promising to turn a 17.5-acre slice of prime real estate into an “urban resort” so opulent that it’ll make Rodeo Drive look cheap. Over the weekend, 3,800 cubic yards of concrete were continuously poured, marking the foundation for the tallest towers in Beverly Hills.
With a jaw-dropping $10 billion valuation, this isn’t just another condo complex; it’s a fortress of solitude for the super-rich.
It's a day that ends in "y," so that means that a liberal news outlet has reported on President Donald Trump and the alleged turmoil in his administration, which the White House has shut down as "fake news" — again.
The latest comes from MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, which claimed that FBI Director Kash Patel was reportedly on his way out. It read, "President Trump is considering removing Kash Patel as FBI director in the coming months, as he and his top aides have grown increasingly frustrated by the unflattering headlines Patel has recently generated."White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saw -

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was banned from Venice for 48 hours and fined £132 after she and fellow Extinction Rebellion activists dyed the Grand Canal green in a protest over the weekend.
Thirty-five other activists received the same punishment. The activists said they used an environmentally harmless dye to draw attention to the “massive effects of climate collapse.”
The protest took place to coincide with the conclusion of the Cop30 United Nations climate conference in Brazil.
The group also displayed a banner reading “Stop Ecocide” from the Rialto Bridge and staged a flash-mob in which protesters, dressed in red with veils over their faces, walked slowly through crowds of tourists.

"Congressman Swalwell, General James Mattoon Scott returning your call!" Seriously, who would have thought six decades ago that Democrats would come to regard Seven Days In May as a how-to manual?
