On Wednesday, Judge Beryl Howell excoriated DOJ lawyers and signaled that she may permanently block President Trump from taking action against Perkins Coie. Last month, President Trump stripped security clearances of the employees at DNC law firm Perkins Coie. Recall that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid law firm Perkins Coie more than $1 million to hire oppo research firm Fusion GPS to peddle the bogus ‘Trump-Russia’ dossier during the 2016 election. Former British spy Christopher Steele compiled over a dozen memos alleging the Russians had blackmail on Trump and that his associates were conspiring with the Kremlin to win...

Indiana’s state treasurer repeatedly stood against big banks canceling accounts and releasing customer data of Christians and conservatives for viewpoint discrimination. A pending must-pass bill in Indiana’s Republican-run legislature would strip some of Treasurer Daniel Elliott’s powers and could give them to those same banks.... Elliott has been a key partner of a nationwide coalition of conservative financial elected officials, the State Financial Officers Foundation. As part of that coalition, he and some 25 other Republican state financial officers have fought financial discrimination against Christians and conservatives, ESG, and DEI.... In a 2024 Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) press conference, Elliott...

Select Language The Administration Has the Right to Treat the Hot Air Class as Corrupt .By Rob SmithApril 23, 2025 The Administration Has the Right to Treat the Hot Air Class as CorruptDavid Veksler “To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Abigail Adams, 1804. I’ve never believed the January 6 protest was an “insurrection,” but when prosecutors and judges engage in lawfare for overt political purposes, that is an insurrection....

Mesquite ISD’s $600 Million Bond Would Cost $1.1 Billion With Interest School district property taxpayers are already on the hook for $979 million in bond debt principal and interest. Yet the district’s bond marketing claims the billion-dollar debt will have minimal impact on Mesquite ISD taxpayers, who are already on the hook for $979 million in outstanding bond debt principal and interest. All this while only 42% of the district’s 38,000 students meet or exceed grade levels across all subjects

Hillary Clinton does not have a reputation for honesty. Indeed, ever since she burst onto the political scene, the one guarantee with Hillary was that you couldn’t trust her. Whole articles have been published about the whoppers she’s told over the decades (see, e.g., here and here). One thing, though, that’s always seemed to be true is her claim to have graduated from Yale Law School. After hearing her latest pronouncement, though, I must admit to having my doubts about that statement, too. One of the things that’s pretty clear in the United States Constitution, which has traditionally been part...

“Due process is when only one side has to follow the law and if you point out that this is a suicidal standard you’re a fascist” — Auron MacIntyre A great consternation boils and bubbles across the land as the sinister forces of Jacobin lawfare keep up their legalistic battery against the nation. You better believe that the country will not stand for much more of this lunatic judicial coup aimed at wrecking the authority of law itself, and with that, any chance for sane management of our affairs. On Saturday, the activist org Indivisible, sponsored by Linked-In billionaire Reid...

Charles McGonigal may be the most corrupt FBI official in modern history—and yet somehow, his name has barely made a blip on the radar. This wasn’t some mid-level pencil-pusher. McGonigal was one of the top counterintelligence agents at the FBI’s New York field office. He was directly involved in the bureau’s most sensitive operations, including the infamous “Crossfire Hurricane” probe into (phony) Trump–Russia “collusion.” And after that whole fraudulent mess, it turns out that he was secretly taking money from a Kremlin-linked oligarch and helping shake down Albanian oligarchs on the side. You can’t make this up, right? Now here...

A Doña Ana County magistrate judge has abruptly stepped down after an alleged Tren de Aragua gang affiliate who is in the U.S. illegally was reportedly arrested at his home and charged with possession of a firearm or ammunition. Judge Jose “Joel” Cano reportedly submitted a letter of resignation on Mar. 3 of this year. Judge Cano, a former police officer who took the bench in 2011, told a Border Hawk source that he did indeed resign but did not comment further. Border Hawk contacted the judge’s office on Apr. 1 and was told by a clerk that he had...

Senator Whitehouse wants Boasberg to award Abrego Garcia with millions and permanently bring him back to America because he's been deported to his home country. Do you understand who the Democrats are now?

By her own admission, Stacey Abrams has made a number of "personal financial missteps” in her career. Despite a history marked by bill collectors, tax liens, and ethics investigations, the Georgia politician and Democratic Party activist has managed to amass a small fortune – while working most of her career in the not-for-profit sector. Financial records show that when she first entered statewide politics in 2018, she reported a net worth of less than $109,000. By 2022, the last year she had to publicly file a financial report, it had grown to more than $3.2 million. Abrams is probably even...

(CNN) - US District Judge James Boasberg ruled Wednesday that “probable cause exists” to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt for violating his orders in mid-March halting the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. The judge is still deciding punishment and the next steps he may take, and is giving the Justice Department an opportunity to respond.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has pledged to travel to El Salvador to “discuss” the release of an alleged MS-13 gang member who was deported last month, leading a group of other Democrat lawmakers to demand the man’s return to the U.S. Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, a 29-year-old Salvadoran national who entered the United States illegally when he was 16, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Maryland, where he resided, on March 12. Abrego-Garcia was previously arrested by immigration officials on March 28, 2019, with Judge Elizabeth Kessler finding that he “was arrested in the company of other...

Gov. Ron DeSantis came out swinging Monday against allegations that first lady Casey DeSantis’ charitable initiative, Hope Florida, funneled taxpayer money for political purposes. The DeSantis administration is accused of steering $10 million from a Medicaid settlement to Hope Florida. Shortly after that disbursement, Hope Florida sent $5 million each to two separate not-for-profit organizations, Secure Florida’s Future, run by the Chamber of Commerce and Save our Society from Drugs, according to reporting from the Tampa Bay Times.

The Chinese Progressive Association gave Judge Indira Talwani its Workers Justice award in 2012. This group has deep ties to the CCP. This judge is now trying to stop Trump from reversing legal status for hundreds of thousands of migrants allowed in by Biden. The Chinese Progressive Association was started by operatives of the Maoist militant group supportive of the Chinese Communist Party. Its leadership has repeatedly expressed support for the CCP, with founder Fay Wong noting: “What China was able to accomplish, with the revolution, was very inspiring.”

While Democrats weaponized invented Russia collusion claims in an attempt to sink President Donald Trump’s first term, in retrospect the party’s leaders have often gone soft on Russia when it wanted to reap financial or political benefits for themselves or allies. From the Obama-era "Russian Reset" and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Skolkovo investment project to Hunter Biden’s business in Moscow and President Joe Biden’s waiving of sanctions against a Russian pipeline, key Democratic figures reaped political and financial benefits from going soft on Moscow. Newly declassified documents produced by the FBI and the Department of Justice’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation...

Joe Biden’s private email scandal is likely much worse than Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. And just like Hillary, Biden was never indicted for his use of burner phones and private emails while he was US Vice President. Special Counsel Robert Hur ignored Joe Biden’s use of private emails. The National Archives previously confirmed through a FOIA response that they found 5,138 email messages and 25 electronic files pertaining to the known Joe Biden pseudonym accounts robinware456@gmail.com, JRBWare@gmail.com and Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov. According to newly unredacted documents, in 2014, while Joe Biden was publicly calling for sanctions against Russia, he was privately negotiating...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) appears to be in some legal trouble that could actually stick this time. The Daily Signal reported on Thursday that the Federal Elections Commission has launched an investigation into Crockett regarding highly suspicious donations made to her 2024 re-election campaign. According to the outlet, a conservative advocacy group called The Coolidge-Reagan Foundation made the FEC complaint on March 26. FEC assistant general counsel for complaints examination and legal administration then notified Crockett via letter on April 2nd. “The respondents will be notified of this complaint within five business days,” Brown said in the letter. “You will...
