Appeals Court Disqualifies Former Trump
Lawyer Alina Habba From Serving As Interim
US Attorney for New Jersey
Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 12/1/2025 1:09:31 PM
Acting New Jersey Attorney Alina Habba is disqualified after the Trump administration violated federal law to keep her in post, a federal appeals court ruled Monday. The three-judge panel unanimously upheld a lower court's disqualification order that found Habba's appointment was non-compliant with a 1998 law governing federal vacancies. "It is apparent that the current administration has been frustrated by some of the legal and political barriers to getting its appointees in place," senior US Circuit Judge Michael D. Fisher wrote in a 32-page ruling.

The inspector general responsible for scrutinizing U.S. reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan has detailed the billions of dollars wasted by the U.S. government during the 20-year war in the country and concluded that the arsenal of U.S.-provided weaponry that was left behind now forms the "core" of the Taliban's own military machine. . . . The report said the Pentagon has concluded that the U.S. left behind weaponry worth at least $7.1 billion -- weapons now in the hands of the Taliban -- and that the U.S. government also continued to send $3.47 billion in humanitarian and development assistance to Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover.
It's easy to look at a collapsing civil society in a foreign country and comfort ourselves that, despite all our problems, we're not as bad off as those people. Americans are especially apt to do this with our cousin Great Britain, whose country now is in a state of precipitous and probably irreversible decline, and whose political leadership is openly hostile to the native population. But it's a mistake to comfort ourselves this way, partly because the corruption of a place like Britain . . . doesn't stay confined to their shores but eventually makes its way to ours.

In Getting Obamacare Subsidy, Fraud Investigation Finds 7 replies
A scathing new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report identified rampant fraud and systemic failures in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace just as Congress is battling over the future of Obamacare's enhanced premium subsidies. The report, released Wednesday, revealed that fictitious identities, invalid Social Security numbers and even deceased individuals were routinely approved for taxpayer-funded subsidies. Among the findings, every application submitted by investigators using fabricated or invalid Social Security numbers was approved for overage in 2024.
A key adviser to War Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the upcoming Pentagon inspector general report om so-called "Signalgate" does not find that Hegseth shared classified information when texting about upcoming strikes against the Houthis -- and that the report will reveal improper cell phone practices by former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Navy Reserve Commander Tim Parlatore, a lawyer and an adviser to Pete Hegseth, told "Just The News, No Noise" on Wednesday that the report . . . "totally exonerates" the war secretary, and that it reveals details about the extensive use of Signal by Biden national security officials as well.

To Compel Voter Roll Cleanups In Over
Half Of U.S. States 8 replies
The Trump Justice Department is on track to compel more than half the states to clean up their voter rolls and believes sloppiness that left dead people and non-citizens in a position to vote in Democrat-run states is intentional, a top prosecutor told Just the News. . . . "And the goal is to cram as many people on there and make voters who are not particularly engaged, make it easy for someone else to fill out their ballot and return it for them when they don't care enough to do it themselves," she added.
The FBI has made an arrest in connection with pipe bombs planted near the Republican and Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C. on the eve of Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill Riot. . . . The person arrested is a male and the arrest included the FBI going to a house in northern Virginia, a senior law enforcement official told Just the News. A second senior law enforcement official said . . . the FBI has yet to learn the suspect's motive and that the investigation continues.
On November 29, 2025, a leaked internal FDA memo written by Vinay Prasad -- the new director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) -- confirmed what many parents had warned and what California officials had aggressively denied: American children died because of the COVID vaccines. The memo summarizes an FDA review of 96 pediatric deaths reported between 2021 - 2024, cases drawn from VAERS and cross-checked against records, timelines, hospitalization notes, and autopsies where available. After this review, analysts concluded that "no fewer than 10" children likely died because of the vaccine.

Health Insurance Delays Over "Prior Authorizations" 13 replies
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced an end to the delays caused by health insurance prior authorizations. During Tuesday's televised White House cabinet meeting, Kennedy said, "We convened the insurance carriers representing 280 million Americans and got them to agree -- most of them by January of 2026, two months from now -- to remove prior authorizations for all procedures we want them removed from." "And that means that American patients at the point of care will be able to get an answer immediately," he added.
In September the U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division filed federal lawsuits against six states for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request . . . As the Globe said at the time, "That the DOJ is hauling California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania into court for hiding their voter rolls is monumental, and specifically the accountability Americans have been clamoring for." Today the Justice Department did it again, but filed Federal lawsuits against six additional states -- Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington -- for failure to produce their statewide voter lists upon request.
After winning a court order essentially forbidding federal immigration agents from responding with force against so-called "protestors" interfering with ICE operations and threatening federal agents in Illinois, attorneys representing journalists and anti-ICE activists have now decided to pull the plug on their lawsuit, rather than defend the order in the face of a potential loss on appeal,
They were promised lucrative and stable careers if they "learned to code" and earned a degree in software engineering. Instead, many Americans in the tech industry have been left disillusioned as they face mass layoffs and chronic unemployment -- a crisis they say stems from an addiction to cheap foreign labor pipelines that are made accessible through programs like H-1B and touted by companies as a way to hire the "best and brightest."

The Biden Administration created a terrorism exemption for Afghan refugees allowing hundreds of low-level "civil servants" from the Taliban government to resettle in the United States in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from the country. . . . The exemptions were for Afghans who had worked as "civil servants" under the Taliban (both before 9/11 and after August 2021), as well as for Afghans who "supported U.S. military interests" such as participation in resistance movements against the Taliban or the Soviet Army and for Afghans "who provided only certain limited material support to the Taliban or other designated terrorist organizations."

Group — Warns Danger of Violence from

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said President Donald Trump’s comments about Somalians were creating a dangerous situation because his followers have “exhibited violence.”
Today at the White House, Trump said, “These Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country. They’ve taken billions and billions of dollars. They have a representative, Ilhan Omar, who they say married her brother. She should be thrown the hell out of our country. And most of those people, they have destroyed Minnesota.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “What is the practical impact when a President of the United States demonizes an entire group of people based on ethnicity?
The state of Illinois is about to make it possible for illegal aliens to access state and local student financial aid. Governor J.B. Pritzker has already signed the law and it goes into effect on January 1st of 2026.
This is happening as the Trump Justice Department is suing various states over this exact issue. Student financial aid that is meant for American citizens should not be going to people who are in the country illegally.
This is an issue that goes directly to the core of what Trump has run on repeatedly. A law signed by Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL)

Fuel Economy Standards that Drove Up Car Prices 21 replies
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that his administration is resetting Biden-era Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards that increased car prices.
Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the reset in the Oval Office while flanked by Republican lawmakers and auto industry leaders. “We’re officially terminating Joe Biden’s ridiculously burdensome, horrible, actually, CAFE standards that impose expensive restrictions and all sorts of problems to auto makers,” Trump said.
The president noted that the CAFE standards imposed by the previous administration impacted both domestic and foreign manufacturers making cars for the American market and, in turn, consumers.

Climate Study That Predicted Imminent
Economic Catastrophe 16 replies
Hoo boy. Sometimes, you might do something so embarrassing, so humiliating, that you want to hide in the closet. The prestigious science journal Nature may be thinking about doing that right about now, because on Wednesday, they officially retracted an influential 2024 climate report that predicted gloom and doom, death and misery, and impending economic catastrophe.
As is the case with so much of the leftist climate narrative, their wild claims were quite simply unproven:
In April 2024, the prestigious journal Nature released a study finding that climate change would cause far more economic damage by the end of the century than previous estimates had suggested.
The shooting of two National Guard members in Washington last week has taken a jarring new turn, and the emerging theory about the gunman’s motive points to a far deeper national security threat.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old Afghan national accused of killing Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, had served alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan before Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal. If you’ve been wondering why someone who once helped American troops would suddenly target National Guardsmen, you’re not the only one asking that question. Federal investigators now believe the Taliban may have blackmailed Lakanwal into carrying out the attack.
CNN host Jake Tapper misidentified Washington, DC, pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr. as a “30-year-old white man” just before airing photos revealing him to be a black man.
“Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old white man from the D.C. suburbs, is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction by means of explosion,” Tapper said on his show The Lead.
Several minutes later, Tapper’s own program aired photos of Brian Cole Jr., a black man.
Two Virginia twin brothers were arrested for their alleged roles in deleting government databases hosted by a federal government contractor, the Justice Department announced on Wednesday.
Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, both 34, were indicted last month for allegedly conspiring to delete databases used to store U.S. government information, the DOJ said in a news release.
The arrests come after Bloomberg News reported in May how the brothers allegedly compromised data across several agencies, including the IRS and the General Services Administration.
A grand jury in Virginia on Thursday declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on a new indictment related to allegations that she committed mortgage fraud.The decision comes after a federal judge dismissed the initial case against James last month, ruling that the federal prosecutor who brought the case was not lawfully appointed. The prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.[snip]. The second attempt to indict James was presented to the grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia, by different prosecutors.
Affordable Care Act subsidies have been granted, without the required documentation, to 90% of fictitious applicants over the last two years, according to a damning government watchdog report released Wednesday.
The Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) preliminary findings of ongoing and covert testing of Obamacare found “fraud risks” in the federal ACA marketplace, specifically related to the healthcare program’s advance premium tax credit – a subsidy Democrats shut down the government over last month in a failed effort to extend the tax credit for three more years.
“The federal Marketplace approved coverage for nearly all of GAO’s fictitious applicants in plan years 2024 and 2025,
The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast.
Federal authorities arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Virginia for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on the night of January 5, 2021. For four years, Biden’s FBI failed to break the case while the pipe bombs were used as political ammunition against Trump supporters.
As PJ Media previously reported, Cole’s arrest did not result from new tips or a brave new witness suddenly emerging from the shadows; it was because
After nearly five years, the January 6 pipe bomber was arrested by the FBI on Thursday.
Brian Cole, 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, was taken into custody and charged with use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
Cole planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino on said during a press conference on Thursday that the FBI solved the case without any new tips or witnesses.

Three 3rd Circuit judges all but brag about how they are, in tandem with obstructionist Senate Democrats, exploiting an unconstitutional statute to seize control of a unit of the Executive Branch. The Supreme Court needs to end this do-si-do by striking down this unconstitutional provision.
