How Much Did Jack Smith Pay to ‘Confidential
Human Sources’?

Did Biden Justice Department attack dog and unconstitutionally appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith spend tens of millions of dollars to bribe “confidential human sources”? Smith, who became infamous for targeting Donald Trump and the entirety of the GOP political apparatus in shady surveillance and rigged trials, testified at a House of Representatives hearing today. A recent revelation that Smith paid out $20,000 to a confidential human source (CHS) shocked Americans and caused Trump to call for Smith to serve prison time, but it appears that might have been just a drop in the bucket.

Dems will stop at nothing, however illegal, to try to get Trump. What are they going to do when he is out of office because they spend all their time 24/7 trying to get him out of office or put in jail.They are the ones who ought to be in jail.

Whatever it took to entice them to swear to what Crooked Jack Smith wanted them to say. Truth was entirely irrelevant.

Former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone almost got into a physical tussle with Ivan Raiklin during former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. Raiklin was recognized by Fanone, who went on a profanity-filled tirade against the activist who has been known to ruffle some feathers. The former police officer got into Raiklin’s face, but not before calling him a traitor and telling him to go “f**k himself.” Fanone accused Raiklin of wanting to rape his children. He posted the encounter with the caption, “ Who thinks I should sue Mr. Fanone for defamation?

When Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro blew off subpoenas issued by Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 committee, refusing to answer questions before a kangaroo court, they received four-month prison sentences, which they both served in their entirety. And, both men suffered serious financial ruin; Navarro revealed that by the end of his trial, he was expecting to spend three-quarters-of-a-million dollars for his defense. Now, according to a report from Politico, Bill and Hillary Clinton have followed suit, officially refusing to testify before Congress about their respective relationships with Jeffrey Epstein:

People get really angry about lies, but let’s be honest, it was their fault for believing me in the first place. (Snip) Since the death of Renee Nicole Good, Gov. Walz has held numerous press conferences. He’s posted numerous times on social media. He’s held court with numerous reporters. He’s answered numerous questions. But not one single question about what Gov. Walz learned from the BLM riots! By his own admission, Walz’s response to the riots was an “abject failure.” And he ain’t lying: Demonstrators overran the Minneapolis Police Department’s third precinct and burned it to the ground.

Brown University is one of the most prestigious schools in the nation ... allegedly. Allegedly they have 851 cameras on the campus, too. And yet a murderer gained entrance to a building where a study session for an upcoming exam was taking place. The shooter killed two students and injured 11 others. He shouted something but the police refuse to say what those words were. One student came face to face with the shooter but his description, if he gave one, has not been revealed. Within a few hours, Providence police said they had arrested a “person of interest,”

One of my favorite Western reruns is "The Rifleman," starring the steely-jawed Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain. In one episode, John Hamilton, president of North Fork's first bank, tried to talk a buzz of skeptical townsfolk into putting their lifesavings into the "absolute safety" of his bank. The crowd didn't budge until Hamilton introduced his new security guard, former gunslinger Floyd Doniger, who awed the crowd by shooting plates in mid-air as fast as Hamilton's men tossed them up. It worked. The townsfolk streamed into the bank with their lifesavings. Doniger, now perched on a loft with a ready rifle, scanned the bank like a human security camera.

Nothing says “hope and change” quite like bulldozing a beloved public park for a 235-foot phallic tower dedicated to oneself. Welcome to the Obama Presidential Center (OPC), an $830 million (and rising) vanity project in Chicago’s historic Jackson Park. The man who once preached community organizing couldn’t find a single non-park site in his hometown for his monument. I get angry every time I see a story about this thing. It feels as if Obama is giving America a gigantic, double-barreled middle finger.

A stunning new report from the University of California, San Diego, reveals that incoming college students are less prepared for their classes than ever. The steep decline in academic readiness among its first-year students is particularly noticeable in mathematics. The UCSD paper shows that between 2020 and 2025, the number of students with math skills below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold. Additionally, 70% of these students are below the middle school level.

Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz — Kamala Harris’s former aw-shucks VP sidekick — now faces a scandal so colossal it could swallow the state budget whole. Over 480 Department of Human Services (DHS) employees have blown the whistle, accusing Walz of masterminding a cover-up for a Somali immigrant-led fraud ring that siphoned more than $1 billion from social programs. That’s billion with a B — stolen through COVID relief scams, fake autism diagnoses, and Medicaid kickbacks, with funds funneled overseas, including to Al-Shabaab terrorists. One standout grifter, 29-year-old Asha Farhan Hassan, allegedly pocketed $14 million alone from programs meant for vulnerable kids.

Ken Burns is giving a history of the American Revolution replete with leftist narratives unmoored from facts. In Episode 1, Burns erroneously claims that the driving force of the American Revolution was to steal Indian land. In Episode 2, the narrative is slavery and the evil colonists, including George Washington. After defaming George Washington, Burns adopts the canard that slavery was a cause of the American Revolution, and portrays slavery as an unchallenged colonial evil, ignoring the colonies’ abolitionist movement, a world first.

How bad is the Somali fraud scandal, in which the State of Minnesota allowed Somalis to rip off the system to the tune of $1 billion, some of them using the cash to bankroll Al Shabaab terrorism? This bad: Minnesota's largely Democrat bureaucrats are publicly blaming Walz. According to Fox News: More than 400 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) accused Gov. Tim Walz of failing to act on widespread fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers. The Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account, which says it consists of more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, wrote on X that Walz is "100% responsible for massive fraud

Good news: five years after George Floyd’s death, and four years after the civil rights dumpster fire trial that Judge Peter Cahill oversaw—a trial that led to the convictions of Officers Derek Chauvin, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane, and J. Alexander Kueng—there is finally a serious, well-constructed challenge to the verdicts in those cases. Attorney Greg Joseph has filed an appeal that directly confronts what he argues were grave judicial and prosecutorial abuses, as well as violations of the officers’ civil rights. One can only hope that justice will be served.

As lawyered-up apologies go, this one's a real stinker. When I got a look at what the new CNN talking head, 25-year-old Cameron Kasky, said out loud in front of God, Scott Jennings, the CNN audience, and President Donald Trump's lawyers, I said on my Adult in the Room Podcast livestream these words, "He's gonna get sued." But his "apology" is arguably worse. On CNN, Kasky claimed twice that Donald Trump was part of a "sex trafficking network," alluding to the Jeffrey Epstein case. When asked to clarify, Kasky claimed that it was a "provable" fact

— Once upon a time, there was a good-looking, articulate, young boy named David Duke who attended a conservative elementary school in New Orleans. In Junior High, as an eighth-grade project, he was irresistibly attracted to the subject of segregation. He then attended a military school in Georgia and “by the time he graduated was already a member in good standing of the Ku Klux Klan”––ultimately becoming a grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In his self-published 1988 autobiography, My Awakening: A Path to Racial Understanding, Duke stated: “We [Whites] desire to live in our own neighborhoods, go to our own schools,

Catzen is participating in a January 23rd economic shutdown, in which activists are calling on Minnesotans to close their businesses, not report to work or school, and refrain from shopping in protest of ICE's presence in the state. Beardsley said she "immediately" knew she wanted to "stand in solidarity with our fellow businesses and our state," but didn't want to completely close her doors. "We are not doing

Two officers who were pushed out of the military during President Donald Trump's first year back in the White House have launched new missions this week: running for Congress as Democrats. A retired U.S. Space Force colonel, who was forced out of the military under the Trump administration's ban on transgender service members, announced a run for Congress in Northern Virginia. And a senior Navy official removed from her post last year by War Secretary Pete Hegseth launched a congressional bid in South Carolina. Their candidacies highlight a growing political backlash to Trump-era military policies, as former officers removed from service look to re-enter public life through Congress.

Federal authorities have arrested two anti-ICE agitators after a mob stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday. Bondi named Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen as the suspects. FBI Director Kash Patel says the pair are charged with violating the FACE Act, which prohibits interfering with the exercise of religion at a place of worship. "Minutes ago at my direction, HSI and FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota. So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Bondi wrote on X.

Illinois congressional candidate and former Media Matters for America staffer Kat Abughazaleh skipped a campaign event because she slept through it, citing her struggles with "sleep attacks." "I have a chronic illness called narcolepsy. It makes me extremely tired and occasionally causes ‘sleep attacks,’ times when my brain literally cannot stay awake," Abughazaleh, who’s running to represent Illinois’s Ninth Congressional District, admitted in a statement Tuesday. "I ended up sleeping through alarms, calls, and even my campaign manager knocking on my door repeatedly." Abughazaleh was supposed to attend a candidate forum hosted by Indivisible Edgewater, part of the multimillion-dollar Indivisible network backed by progressive billionaire George Soros.

Back when Attorney General Keith Ellison was a mere Congressman instead of the Attorney General of my state, he passed only one bill during his 12 years in that august body. Of all the bills he sponsored, he was able to successfully pass only one. It must have been really important to him to put it all on the line to convince his colleagues to go along with him, right? After all, it wasn't to rename a post office or anything. It was to actually change a policy intended to prevent money laundering. He had to be pretty passionate and persuasive. So what was that bill?
