  • Alina Habba ‘unlawfully’ working as US attorney in New Jersey, judge rules

    Politico ^ | 08/21/2025 | Ry Rivard and Matt Friedman
    A federal judge rejected President Donald Trump’s use of a loophole to keep Alina Habba in place as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor. In a 77-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann said Thursday that Habba “is not lawfully holding the office of United States Attorney” and has been in the position without legal authority since July 1. As a result, Habba, who had previously worked as Trump’s personal attorney, cannot participate in prosecutions by the office “as the ‘acting U.S. Attorney’” and seemingly cannot run the office the president maneuvered to keep her in charge of after her interim...

    At this point in his second term, President Donald Trump has higher approval ratings than Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama in their second terms.

    Britons are spray-painting the Union Jack and St. George flags on roundabouts, ambulances, walls, and local counsels are filing suits to evacuate asylum seekers from local hotels, which has a history of success. People are calling for Starmer to resign, demanding mass deportations. Some Labour and even Reform officials are aggressively prosecuting flag spray-painters for vandalism. Fake news is fake news-ing. Tousi is analyzing the events, but is not allowed to approve of them on his podcast, because if he does he'll be prosecuted for "hate speech".

  • The F-117A’s New Secret Mission: Pretending to Be a Chinese Stealth Fighter

    National Security Journal ^ | 8/21/2025 | Reuben Johnson
    Though officially retired since 2008, the F-117A Nighthawk remains a vital and highly active asset for the U.S. Air Force, performing critical secret missions. Its primary new role is that of a high-tech "aggressor"; its older-generation stealth profile is perfect for simulating the radar signature of Chinese and Russian adversary aircraft to train U.S. pilots.

    Adam Schiff is one of the most, if not the most, execrable persons in world. For years we've been listening to this pencil-necked reprobate spread lie after lie after lie about Donald Trump. I'd love to have a dollar for every time he said "Russian collusion." He was censured for his lies about this, but it wasn't even close to what was deserved. Still, the lies weren't enough. He would leak classified information for the express purpose of dirtying up Donald Trump. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), then the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, authorized leaks of classified information...

    Democratic Party officials are quietly battling over which state will be the first to vote in the 2028 presidential primary — a fight that's set to break into the open next week, when the officials meet in Minneapolis. * Nevada, New Hampshire, and Michigan are currently the frontrunners to be "the new Iowa," and lead off the 2028 Democratic primary season, according to several people familiar with the Rules and Bylaws committee that will determine the order. Why it matters: The candidate who wins the first state primary gets a boost that can help propel them to the nomination —...

    Most Americans firmly believe that educational institutions should be places where all ideas can be discussed and no one need fear reprisal for saying the wrong thing or pursuing the wrong research topic. That ideal, however, is not embraced by all people. There are powerful forces, here and abroad, that want to dominate education in order to advance their goals. They have no qualms about telling students what they must believe or telling faculty members not to research certain topics. Of course, the leaders of our colleges and universities would never cooperate with those authoritarian forces—or would they? In her...

    Fox News’ resident leftist Jessica Tarlov has once again embarrassed herself, this time rushing to defend an illegal alien on social media before being forced to delete her tweet in disgrace. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that D.C. police tackled an illegal alien on the National Mall after he tried to flee. Video captured him shouting in Spanish, “Please! I’m not a criminal. I work here! I want to be with my family!” Without missing a beat, Tarlov rushed to X to blast Trump’s law-and-order approach. She wrote: “This doesn’t make D.C. safer. It’ll just make people not come to...
  • How Many F-47 Fighters and B-21 Raider Bombers Does the U.S. Need?

    National Security Journal ^ | 8/20/2025 | Andrew Latham
    The U.S. risks losing its air superiority by 2030 if it fails to build its next-generation aircraft in sufficient numbers.For a “strategic restraint” approach, where the new F-47 fighter and B-21 bomber are not for global policing but for credibly deterring great-power war in the Atlantic and Pacific. To achieve this, the U.S. needs a minimum of 200-300 F-47s and at least 145 B-21s. These numbers are essential to absorb combat losses, reassure allies, and deter adversaries like China and Russia.

    The American Conservative ^ | 8/21/2025 | Doug Bandow
    Through an extended weekend full of summitry, President Donald Trump revived the role of diplomacy in addressing the European conflict, making the first allied contact with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin since early in the Ukraine war. Trump rejected efforts by Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and seven European leaders to escalate the endless proxy war against Russia. Despite his narcissistic peculiarities, the president made more progress toward peace in four days than President Joe Biden did in three years, though there is still great skepticism that the war will soon end.

  • Equity Ain't Equality, Joe: Scarborough's Deceptive Defense Of DEI

    NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
    On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Scarborough offered a profoundly deceptive defense of DEI. Scarborough claimed that the 'E' in DEI stands for "equality." But as he well knows, it stands for "equity"—the diametric opposite of equality. The American ideal is equality of opportunity. Equity stands for equal outcomes, regardless of merit. It's the difference between the right of people to the "pursuit of happiness" and the government being in the happiness-providing business—for favored groups. Scarborough also claimed that "diversity" is fundamentally American, citing E Pluribus Unum—out of many one. But DEI advocates don't call for assimilation into "one" America of shared...
  • Land for peace means new Russian military bases in Donbas and a strengthened war machine for Putin

    The Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, August 20, 2025 | Ben Wolfgang
    The ugly truth behind any deal that would cede a chunk of Ukraine’s Donbas region to Moscow is that it could immediately strengthen the Russian military, providing a major win for one of America’s leading adversaries in an era of great power competition. In such a scenario, Ukraine would lose some of its most heavily fortified defensive positions. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s generals would seek to deepen their substantial footprint in the strategically vital theater with new military bases. The Russian navy could gain even greater control over the Black Sea. The Russian government and its armed forces could take...

    The Democrat Party is hemorrhaging support with no end in sight, according to a shocking analysis of new voter registrations. Fueled by President Donald Trump’s gains among men, younger voters, and Latinos in 2024, more new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats for the first time since 2018, according to a report from the New York Times which relies on voter registration data compiled by L2, a nonpartisan data firm. Perhaps more troubling for Democrats, the data suggests Democrat Party activists can no longer rely on the party’s tried-and-true methods to reverse the trend, leaving panicked party leaders...
