Recently declassified documents indicate leaks of classified information to reporters were designed to portray Trump as in league with Russia. ================================================================== Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia. Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of The Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of The New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating...

Sean "Diddy" Combs walked into the courtroom at 10:10 a.m. wearing an oatmeal-colored sweater over a white shirt under and dark slacks. The disgraced rapper, 55, is sporting a trimmed gray beard, his dark hair sprinkled with gray. Diddy put his glasses on and now is sitting at his defense table, reading from a document. He hugged his attorneys.

n the wake of President Donald Trump designating Antifa a domestic terror organization, the corporate media have been quick to critique the move and question the feasibility and constitutionality of taking corresponding action. But an exploration of Antifa’s recent record of identity-obsessed violence and the dark history of its Marxist antecedents reveals an urgent need to counter the vicious left-wing movement. Antifaschistische Aktion The modern Antifa movement has its roots in the communist paramilitary arm that operated in Germany during the tumultuous years of the Weimar Republic: Antifaschistische Aktion. The Soviet-directed Communist Party of Germany (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands — KPD)...

When I stood under the bomb bay of a retired B-52 bomber at the U.S. Air Force Museum this summer, I quickly understood why some consider this bomber the best to fly. Longevity means you earn a place in the record books and get to claim that crown. You don’t keep an airplane flying for six decades by accident. The B-52H Stratofortress didn’t just outlast its stablemates; it became the most complete version of the BUFF idea—long legs, big payload, and the electronics to make both matter in the 21st century.

Montana has created a web page to track grizzly bear deaths in the state. The page is administered by Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP). Mortalities on Tribal lands are not included in the FWP bear mortality database. From krtv.com: The site displays mortality information, including the various factors that contribute to grizzly bear deaths in Montana, outside of Tribal lands. Four grizzly bears have been killed in defense of self and others so far in 2025. Two incidents may be defensive, but are still under investigation.FWP estimates that, as of September 2024, there are about 2000 grizzly bears in...

UK Makes Muslim Incest Great Again.. But Israel Is The Problem? Oct 1, 2025. link

Trump Impersonator Shawn Farash Says Welcome to the ‘Schumer Siesta'

Palestinianism includes: Rewriting history.Converting immigrants' grandchildren into "natives."The aggressor as victim - false victinhood. 'Dead baby strategy' --using its very own--not the adversary's-- population as human shields to make sure they die in order to blame Israel, ever since Arafat reign in Lebanon. Injecting "palestinian" propaganda at every group cause, unrelated. Pallywood, fake imagery. Gloatimg in public, dancing at others' pain. (911, and at every racist-Arab terror attack on Jews anywhere in the world), Almost unique animalism: waving organs as hundreds moan in public square at the Oct 2000 Ramallah Lynch; Oct 7 upclose and personal cruelty, bragging with severe...

(Oct. 2, 2025) — I recently came upon a follow-up piece to Jeremy Kuzmarov PhD’s uniquely excellent and comprehensive essay on Barack Obama and the CIA. The initial essay by Kuzmarov was published on the CovertAction Magazine website on October 1, 2021 and titled “A Company Family: The Untold History of Obama and the CIA.” Not only is this initial article a fantastic investigative work, but it is one which is enhanced by photographs and histories of many family members and associates of Obama and the CIA (noted to include current Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who “had long ties” to...

Islamists RIOT Across UK After Manchester Synagogue Attack

It's a matter of logic. If you're not pro-life if you oppose abortion but support the death penalty, then you're not pro-life if you oppose the death penalty but support abortion. But it's not clear that Pope Leo embraces that logic. And no one on the panel on today's CNN This Morning did Substitute host Erica Hill kicked off the conversation by playing a clip of Pope Leo expressing support for Dem Sen. Dick Durbin. He was scheduled to receive a "Lifetime Achievement" award for his pro-immigrant stance. Some bishops opposed the award given Durbin's staunch support of abortion. In...

Construction of new battleships ceased almost immediately post World War II—the last launched was HMS Vanguard, completed in 1946. Their heavy armor and guns diminished even further in relevance with the evolution of anti-ship missiles, which have a longer range and hit hard enough to negatively tilt the cost-benefit tradeoffs of heavy armor. Missile defense became a better use of tonnage than steel plates.

The healthcare “cuts” Democrats are using as an excuse to shut down the government are actually the phase-out of temporary pandemic-era Obamacare credits. Contrary to their current talking points, the phase-out of these credits was included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which passed without a single Republican vote. This legislation, which significantly increased federal spending on temporary pandemic-related healthcare programs, extended subsidies for insurance policies purchased through the Obamacare exchanges only through 2025. The Biden administration’s emergency pandemic subsidies should be allowed to expire as intended. This would enable individual and small group plans to regain fiscal stability...

A recent study from Tyton Partners reveals that what students believe about AI use is quite at odds with their actual AI use. The study, which surveyed over 1,500 students, more than 1,500 instructors, and over 300 administrators, reveals that student and faculty attitudes toward AI in academia have both taken a downturn since 2024. Turning to artificial intelligence for academic assistance is not widely believed, by either students or educators, to be conducive to greater educational quality. Student preference for AI as a primary source of academic help has dropped 13 percentage points since 2024. Faculty attitudes about the...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appears on CNBC to discuss the second full day of the government shutdown and the potential ramifications therein. Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought is meeting with President Trump today to discuss the facets of the government that will be closed and for the duration therein. Secretary Bessent is asked if the furloughs will be a long-term feature of the backfire created by the Democrat strategy. Bessent reemphasizes he personally joined the Trump administration to shrink the scale of government spending, and the administration is not going to flinch on any CR agreement that...

VIDEOMargaret Dumont was NOT amused and in our era neither is Kaitlan Collins.

I am a Christian nationalist. In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s worshipful memorial service, the political left has predictably busied itself with slander, labeling the event “Christian Nationalism’s biggest moment” or even a Nazi rally. Neither of these heinous descriptions are accurate. The Babylon Bee satirically mocked these claims with the headline “Nazi Rally Inspires Millions to Forgive And Love Their Enemies.” Indeed, Erika Kirk’s public and emotionally charged forgiveness of her husband’s murderer was one of the most powerful redemptive moments of our time. It’s now undeniable that the Left aims to label everyday conservative Christians who are politically...

The federal case against Gabriel Metcalf in Billings, Montana, under the federal Gun Free School Zone Act of 1990 (GFSZ), has been resolved in Metcalf’s favor. In a split decision, the three-judge panel on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ordered the case remanded to the district court and has ordered the case dismissed. From the Summary by Judge VanDyke (purchased on PACER account): The panel reversed the district court’s order denying Gabriel Cowan Metcalf’s motion to dismiss an indictment charging him with possessing firearms within 1,000 feet of a school in violation of the Gun-Free School...

The irony couldn’t be richer. Just a day after we learned that President Joe Biden needed palm cards with pictures to recognize Pritzker and other key Democrats, Pritzker said Tuesday that it’s Trump who has dementia and should be removed from office. But the hypocrisy is still richer still because Pritzker played a big role in the scandalous coverup of Biden’s mental decline. Pritzker, while serving as a proxy for Biden, frequently and firmly attested to Biden’s mental health. Pritzker became vicious about it, attempting to smear a respected special prosecutor for concluding the Biden was too impaired to stand...

It's taken some time to properly gather my thoughts after Charlie Kirk's Assassination, and particularly around the aftermath. I started with making the theme of my Week in Radical Leftism roundup, asking if a Civil War is now inevitable. The quick summary is that the post didn't look at Democrats as a whole around the country, but rather how the Democratic Party's leadership has been acting since President Trump's return to office. Tonight I want to talk about what I've observed both in articles as well as what I've seen from people I know personally in my social media feeds....
