Via White House – “On December 7, 1941, a peaceful Sunday morning on the Hawaiian island of Oahu was shattered by an unprovoked attack by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan on the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the aircraft and hangars at Kaneohe, Ford Island, Barbers Point, and Hickam Field.

At the ripe old age of 103, Ken Hartle had lost count of how many times he’d cheated death. Hartle was fond of retelling many of these tales; he could recount surviving rattlesnake bites and scorpion stings, sailing accidents, car crashes, multiple broken bones, colon and prostate cancer, and sextuple cardiac bypass surgery.
There was, however, one memory he avoided sharing—his harrowing diving missions to retrieve the bodies of the fallen sailors at Pearl Harbor.

For years, Americans were spoon-fed a very specific Netflix-style fictional story about January 6. The villains were already cast. White Trump supporters! The conclusion was already written. Insurrection! And anyone who noticed parts of the story didn’t add up was called a terrorist and a traitor and totally dismissed. (snip)Back in March 2021, Revolver took a hard look at that detail. The pipe bomber was allegedly some disgruntled MAGA extremist, yet he was rocking rare Nike Air Max Speed Turfs that cost hundreds of dollars and are deeply tied to sneaker culture, basketball culture, and urban street culture.
Another day, another Democrat corruption scandal.
Paul Campo, a longtime Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) employee appointed as deputy chief of the Office of Financial Operations under the Obama administration, was indicted on charges of agreeing to launder $12 million for a terrorist cartel, Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG).This cartel is among those that the Trump administration designated as a foreign terrorist organization, which makes Campo’s money laundering on its behalf even more egregious.
U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton detailed the charges in a Dec. 5 press release. “As alleged, Paul Campo and Robert Sensi conspired to assist

My tenth great-grandfather Richard Lyman arrived on the Lyon in 1631.

No, it was Somalians, Indians, and immigrants from Latin America and Africa.
Brian Cole, Jr. worked for a bail bonds company run by his father that worked to free illegal immigrants from ICE facilities and sued the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security.Weeks before 30-year-old Cole Jr. allegedly planted pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Democrat and Republican parties on January 5, 2021, a court ruled against the company in its lawsuit attacking the Trump administration on immigration issues, The Daily Wire has learned. An FBI affidavit in the case notes that the suspect works for a bail bond company and lives with his mother.
Accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr.’s face was revealed for the first time since he was busted for allegedly planting explosive devices outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.
Cole’s mother shared the smiling picture of him in a blue dress shirt and tie on Instagram for National Son’s Day in September 2024 — more than three years after the alleged attempted bombing.
The FBI has arrested a suspect in its investigation into pipe bombs planted near the Republican and Democratic national party headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5, 2021 according to a federal law enforcement official familiar with the investigation.
Brian Cole was identified as the suspect in custody, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter. The arrest marks a breakthrough in a case that has stymied investigators for nearly five years.

Over the past week, prominent Democrats and left-wing pundits have openly promised that once they are back in power, they will do what it takes to ensure Republicans never obtain power again — while punishing those who have been in power. And while Democrats are openly sketching out their plans for a permanent, one-party realignment, Republicans are busy passing meaningless resolutions condemning socialism.

On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Trump v. Slaughter — a case that at its simplest level concerns whether the president had the power to fire Rebecca Slaughter, a member of the Federal Trade Commission. The case, however, actually presents a much more profound issue concerning separation of powers and executive authority under Article II, and whether the Supreme Court should reverse the near century-old precedent of Humphrey’s Executor.
Starting, though, at the simplest level: In March of 2025, President Trump notified Slaughter that he had removed her “from the Federal Trade Commission, effective immediately,” because her “continued service on the FTC is inconsistent with [the

WASHINGTON — The FBI made an arrest on Thursday in its nearly 5-year-old investigation into who placed pipe bombs in Washington on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
The arrest marks the first time investigators have settled on a suspect in an act that had long vexed law enforcement, spawned a multitude of conspiracy theories and remained an enduring mystery in the shadow of the dark chapter of American history that is the violent Capitol siege.
Chilling new details have emerged about the illegal migrants — including killers tied to 29 homicides — who have been released onto the streets of New York due to sanctuary laws, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The violent rogue’s gallery includes the likes of Cuban national and convicted killer Jose Antonio Andreo-Quezada, an illegal alien with a criminal history involving homicide, larceny, disorderly conduct, possession of stolen property, dangerous drugs, burglary, trespassing and assault, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Earlier this month, over 400 Minnesota Department of Human Services employees accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of being "100% responsible" for the massive fraud in Minnesota. I wrote at the time that the Minnesota Somali fraud scandal could take down Walz, and every day it looks even more likely. And what do you know, the scandal just got significantly worse for Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar. Newly surfaced photographs show both Democrats smiling alongside Abdul Dahir Ibrahim,
U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-CA, called President Donald Trump a “killer” because he ordered the destruction of suspected drug trafficking boats.
She said that the air strikes outraged her.
"I am outraged... He doesn't know whom [sic] they are or whether they are innocent or whether they're guilty," Water said. "He should follow the laws. The law does not allow or intend for the president of the United States to kill anyone he wants to kill." [Tweet, video]
Democratic lawmakers have claimed that Trump has issued illegal orders to the military. Yet, those Democrats can't name a single illegal order, Townhall reported.
Old Joe Biden put down his ice cream cone and rejoined the fray on Friday, delivering a major speech at the International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. The first question that leaps to mind is connection with this is: What on earth were the gays thinking? Whose bright idea was it to have Old Joe Biden, of all people, headline their conference? Didn’t they know that the man can barely string a coherent sentence together even when he is simply reading it off a teleprompter? In any case, the queer gathering got exactly what you’d expect.
Chicago Public Schools allows students to receive excused absences if they or their family members are concerned about Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in the city.
The government school district has a document, entitled “Attendance Coding for Safety Concerns Related to Federal Representative Activity,” that says parents can convey a fear of federal immigration authorities in order to mark their children “excused.”
The document was obtained by Defending Education, according to a report from Fox News. “If a parent/guardian reports an absence and attributes it to fear of federal representative-related procedures, schools CAN excuse the absence under ‘concern for student health and safety,'” the policy reads,

A federal judge on Saturday blocked federal prosecutors from accessing key evidence in the criminal case against James Comey.
Earlier this week Comey’s secret media mole Daniel Richman sought to block the Justice Department from accessing his files as the Trump Administration prepares to hit James Comey with a new indictment.
A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey in September. He was indicted on two counts – false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

The Department of Health and Human Services has altered the name on the official portrait of Rachel Levine.
Levine, who served for years as Joe Biden’s assistant secretary for health, is a transgender woman who has long been the subject of mockery for his somewhat unconvincing gender transition.
The 68-year-old, who is a biological male, has had his portrait displayed in the hallway since he was confirmed to the position in 2021.
The portrait remains in situ, although NPR is now reporting that its name has been altered to Richard Levine.
The change was reportedly confirmed by a spokesperson for the agency. Adrian Shanker, who worked as a former deputy assistant secretary
MacArthur Park has erupted into LA’s fentanyl ground zero — a collapsing, chaos-soaked war zone where overdoses hit by the hour, people die daily, crime crews corner the market — and what used to be a neighborhood park now teeters on the brink of total collapse.
The park, the largest green space in the district, now hosts an unknown number of unhoused people, though on most days it’s fair to estimate the population in the hundreds.
MacArthur’s unofficial “residents” are made comfortable by groups handing out food and even free crack pipes as part of “safe smoking” kits — with tens of millions of dollars coming from the city

It is recorded in our history books that when he looked down at the ship full of smiling, victorious faces… faces of his flyers, just having returned from Pearl Harbor, Japanese Fleet Admiral Yamamoto was quiet, pensive, even apprehensive.
He later wrote in his private diary:
It took the attack on Pearl Harbor to awaken Americans to the threat that the world faced 82 years ago today.
Today, the Western world faces a very different kind of threat.
The threat we face today is much larger than the one we faced 82 years ago—and, for that matter,

As economic and cultural suicide stalk Western Europe, it has initiated efforts to hobble America's technological advantage and diminish our freedoms. The first documented attacks on our open dialogue came from the UK and began in 2018 when Morgan McGreevy, Keir Starmer’s chief of staff (then Labour Together’s managing director), began and funded an outfit called Stop Funding Fake News (SFFN). Recognizing that the online news purveyors could best be silenced by depriving them of funds, it first targeted UK outfits, but moved on in an attempt to starve U.S. outfits like American Thinker, Breitbart, Zero Hedge, and the Federalist of advertising revenue, and astroturfing defamation of such sites.
The Guardian reports that, in the next two or three years, 50 “higher education providers” — 24 of them within a year — could (just like the providers of other goods-and-services) close down or, as Sally Weale, its education correspondent puts it, “risk exiting the market”. Sally thinks — that is, takes it for granted — that this a bad and unhappy circumstance, to be spoken of as ‘collapse’, ‘threat’, ‘turmoil’, ‘worry’, ‘disorder’, ‘fear’. And no doubt, from the point of view of the providers themselves, that is just what it is. What provider of goods-and-services —

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has dismantled long-standing congressional barriers that shielded unaccountable bureaucrats from the people’s elected leader.
On Friday, a three-judge panel ruled 2-1 that President Donald J. Trump, and any future commander-in-chief, has the unfettered right to remove members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) without cause. The decision, penned by Circuit Judge Neomi Rao Katsas and joined by Judge Justin Walker, both appointed by Trump, reverses lower court rulings that had propped up these “for cause” removal protections as relics of a bygone era.
