A federal judge on Friday said he was blocking subpoenas that the Justice Department served to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in a probe purported to be about the management of the central bank's renovation."A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning," Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge on the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., wrote in a court filing. Boasberg continued: "On the other side of the scale, the Government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime; indeed, its justifications are so thin and unsubstantiated

Boasberg is so often at the center of these legal judgements that the headlines should routinely use his name and the word 'again'.

No evidence? Powell delivered sworn statements at a Senate committee hearing specifically denying that the ongoing renovation of Federal Reserve headquarters included several expensive construction details have, in fact, been part of the Federal Reserve's official renovation plans approved under his watch in 2021. There is no question that he testified falsely and he has stonewalled Justice Department requests to explain the discrepancy. This is another obvious case of a Resistance Judge acting to perpetuate the impunity of a fellow Never Trumper.

Well then, that settles it if "judge" Boasberg said it, right? After all, he seems to be involved in nearly every case over the last 8-ish years. Not sure how he has all that time to handle so many cases.

James “God is Non-binary” Talarico believes white males have a greater responsibility to love trans kids. Rep. Talarico (D-TX) is the Democrat nominee for the United States Senate. Let me just state right here and right now that people who “love trans kids” do not — as Talarico constantly does — advocate for queering, sexualizing, chemically sterilizing, and performing irreversible “gender affirming” mutilations on them. The bottom line is this: James Transarico is a full-blown monster deliberately perverting the Christian faith to obtain power. I’ve never seen anything like this guy. He’s a demon with a baby face.

American children may be able to purchase cross-sex hormones for “gender transition” online from foreign and domestic pharmacies without prescriptions, according to a new report from medical watchdog Do No Harm. Online pharmacies have a remarkable lack of safeguards, according to the report, including not requiring age verification or a prescription before payment. The report noted it was unclear whether those items were required after the transaction had been completed. However, the report also notes an entire web of online forums and sites giving children step-by-step instructions for obtaining and self-administering the drugs.

The nation’s leading consumer protection agency has entered the battle between a Nashville college preparatory school and parents who claim Lipscomb Academy has not only gone “woke” but is silencing speech. In a letter obtained by The Federalist, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson encourages the private school’s leadership to rethink its new code of conduct, which prohibits parents, students, and staff from publicly “disparaging” the school or actions taken by its leadership. “Families violate confidentiality requirements if they … Publicly speculate or criticize personnel decisions or school matters,” the code of conduct states.

Kharg Island is a small coral island in Iran in the northern Persian Gulf. It is 34 miles (55 km) northwest of the port of Bushehr and vital to Iran’s oil industry. The oil processing facilities at Kharg Island are a foundational component of Iran’s economy. Roughly 90 percent of Iran’s crude is processed at Kharg Island, and any disruption to its oil processing could cripple Iran’s economy.

While under federal indictment for improper retention, holding and releasing classified intelligence, John Bolton appears on NBC News to complain about how President Trump is conducting the war against Iran. It is hilarious to see Bolton pontificate, with all the customary arrogant self-assurances, that President Trump did not plan for a scenario where the oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz would be disrupted, while simultaneously proclaiming President Trump is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin a gift with the lifting of oil/gas sanctions to support the global market. His insufferable ignorance is laughable.

“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.” Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events. For two years after the Hamas pogrom of Oct. 7, 2023, keffiyeh-clad Muslim students did their best Hitler Youth impressions on American university campuses, clamoring to eliminate the State of Israel and “globalize the intifada”

An investigation by CBS News has discovered massive Medicare fraud at more than 700 out of 1,800 licensed hospice providers in Los Angeles County. The scam utilizes stolen Medicare numbers to fraudulently enroll healthy seniors in hospice with fake terminal diagnoses, billing Medicare an average of $29,000 per patient without delivering care, to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. About 31 percent of hospice and home health companies in the U.S. are registered in L.A.

Poet Robert Frost once said that "good fences make good neighbors." He apparently never met Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is being sued by his neighbors for effectively squatting on their land and then seizing it to install a fence along his $830,500 private residence in suburban Philadelphia. The litigation is likely to put Shapiro in a much different light for many who think of him as a 2028 contender. The irony of the case is crushing. Shapiro opposed Trump's plan to build a wall along the southern border, declaring that he would sue before a dime of Pennsylvania money went to pay for it. He apparently adopted

Occasionally I hear credentialed professionals with prestigious titles whine about the so-called “war on expertise.” It really bothers people who see themselves as “experts” that a growing share of society ignores them. A psychologist might intuit something revealing from the lack of self-confidence plaguing our “expert” class. If all the fancy degrees, voluminous curricula vitae, and lofty career positions have failed to instill a resilient modicum of self-esteem, then perhaps all those things are not the true measures of a person’s worth. “Experts” do not like to be challenged.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is floating an extreme new proposal to change the state’s estate tax — a move that would hurt middle-class New Yorkers and their loved ones. The socialist mayor wants to drastically slash the estate tax exemption threshold from the $7 million limit to just $750,000, a drop of more than 90%, according to a memo City Hall recently circulated to Albany lawmakers. The “Tax Revenue Raising Proposals” document is a wish list containing dozens of different tax hikes that could be employed to bail the Big Apple out, according to Bloomberg.

Shocking surveillance footage released recently by the U.S. Department of Justice shows the precision of the heist, which occurred on June 18, 2025 at Kumar Jewelers in Fremont. Described by authorities as a “mob-style takeover,” the video shows a fleet of vehicles screeching to a halt in front of the storefront, and a crew of nearly two dozen masked suspects in dark hoodies swarming in like a tactical unit.

According to Fox News, the decision to remove Prejean Boller was praised by multiple religious leaders and conservatives who argued that the commission’s purpose is to defend religious liberty, not serve as a platform for controversial personal activism.
