The Morning Report — 10/30/25
The gall of this degenerate and his entire party is beyond the pale. In the immortal words to be uttered some 3,000 or so years in the future by an astronaut riding horseback along an alien yet oddly familiar stretch of beach "God Damn You (Democrats) All to Hell."

Have a good day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
Wednesday on MSNSDAP’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), who serves as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said MAGA voters who cheer the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats in the eastern Pacific would not like who a potential President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chooses to kill.Aside from the nightmare prospect of Titty Caca as Soros the Younger's Puppet, let alone any Democrat ever being elected President of the He-Man Woman-Haterz Klub let alone POTUS ever again, I trust President Trump and the Secretary of War's actions and intel in taking out these threats to the safety and security of our nation and people. But his fantasies about who Donkey Chompers might choose to kill are quite revelatory about his and his ilks willingness to kill any innocent party merely as an act of political retribution or simple naked aggression in the pursuit and maintenance of absolute power. Between stealing a national election, and the installation of a mental defective stooge as their puppet, a cabal of Democrats and others utilized the instrumentalities of our intelligence, law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to persecute and represss their political opponents while usurping the office of the Presidency to issue four years of executive orders, directives, edicts and even signing legislation onto the books.
The gall of this degenerate and his entire party is beyond the pale. In the immortal words to be uttered some 3,000 or so years in the future by an astronaut riding horseback along an alien yet oddly familiar stretch of beach "God Damn You (Democrats) All to Hell."
Operation Midway Blitz Commander Ordered to Meet With Chicago Judge Daily, Says He Looks Forward to Showing Her How Bad Things AreFunny but this hack-in-black slag did not order the leader of this merry bunch to meet with her:
The increasingly dangerous conditions faced by Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Chicago continue to grow worse as activists for illegal migrants increase their violent attacks. And more video showing that is making its way to social media every day. Along with the use of rocks and bottles as weapons, violent activists are also increasingly using professional grade fireworks against ICE agents in Chicago, causing the risk of hearing loss, eye damage, and burns.Were I the Midway Blitz commander, I'd tell this Sara Ellis shitwhore to go piss up a rope. The CBP is operating under the authority of President Donald Trump and his underlings at the DHS and Justice Department. None of them are accountable to her in the lawful performance of their duties in securing the safety of the citizenry and ultimately our national security and sovereignty. Chicago among other hotspots are erupting in what can only be described as open revolt and terroristic insurrection. Personally, I want to see the bodies of anyone attacking federal agents and law enforcement stacked like cordwood. Brandon Johnson, JB Pritzker should be forcibly ejected from office and Chicago's government run by responsible individuals designated by President Trump. The greatest threat to our republic was is and always will be the Democrat Party, its leaders and base. 200-plus years of history awash in the blood and wastage of life and human potential all in service to a satanic, evil will to power that is the hallmark of Leftism. Elsewhere, the ridiculous geschrei about the cutting of SNAP benefits because of the Schumer Shitshow Shakedown Shutdown, is just that.

Hegseth announced more strikes on four drug boats.
Democrat candidate for Congress Kat Abughazaleh indicted for blocking ICE vehicles and impeding their enforcement of the law.
A Democratic congressional candidate in Illinois has been indicted for blocking a federal agent's vehicle during September protests outside an immigration enforcement building in suburban Chicago, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday. The felony indictment, filed last week by a special grand jury, accuses Kat Abughazaleh and five others of conspiring to impede an officer. "This is a political prosecution and a gross attempt to silence dissent, a right protected under the First Amendment. This case is a major push by the Trump administration to criminalize protest and punish anyone who speaks out against them," Abughazaleh said Wednesday in a video posted to BlueSky.I don't remember the J6ers being afforded such a "right" to impede government officials. Here's video of her committing the crime of impeding a federal officer. Bill Melugin: There's a major shake-up of ICE leadership as Trump demands more deportations and wants leaders who will execute his agenda, not drag their feet.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles
- Phoenix
- Philadelphia
- Denver
- El Paso
- San Diego
- Seattle/Portland
- New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both. Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year. I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table." It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio: "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country."
Hegseth announced more strikes on four drug boats.
The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, on Tuesday announced the 13th strike on a narco-terrorist vessel, this time in the Pacific Ocean. This marked the largest single operation against a drug-trafficking vessel to date, involving three separate strikes, four boats, and resulting in the deaths of 14 narco-terrorists.Pro-terrorist "protester" sentenced to 17 months in prison after three separate incidents of physically attacking Jews as part of his "protest" jihad.
"Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTO) trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific. The four vessels were known by our intelligence apparatus, transiting along known narco-trafficking routes, and carrying narcotics," he wrote on X. "Eight male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessels during the first strike. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the second strike. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the third strike. A total of 14 narco-terrorists were killed during the three strikes, with one survivor. All strikes were in international waters with no U.S. forces harmed." Hegseth concluded his post by stating that his department has spent over two decades defending other nations -- but now, it's time to defend America. He noted that illegal narcotics have claimed more American lives than any terrorist group the U.S. has ever fought.
Bazrouk was charged with federal hate crimes in connection with the assault, which took place during three different pro-Hamas protests in the city. He kickeed and punched Jewish pro-Israel protester who carried Israeli flags, federal prosecutors said, according to The New York Times.Prosecutors sought 36 months, stating that it was a "serious crime" which therefore demanded a serious penalty. Of course the judge disagreed and implemented Two-Tiered Justice. You know you'd go away for ten years if you assaulted three protected-class Muslims. Credibly-accused gay sexual assaulter Don Lemon used some kind of insider gay-culture slang to say that Megyn Kelly looks like a tranny who isn't passing for the gender they're pretending to be. The unemployed failing podcaster keeps pushing out rage-bait to try to get Megyn Kelly and other people to talk about his little-viewed, no-account podcast, and alas, we keep falling for it. So, as the NY Post asks: Is it officially approved to insult someone by saying they look like a tranny?
Axed CNN anchor Don Lemon has been blasted as two-faced after he said conservative commentator Megyn Kelly looked "trans." "I think she looks trans," Lemon -- who has grandstanded against transphobia in the past -- declared on a recent episode of his new "Clip Farmers" podcast, as he and his co-hosts were crassly discussing the appearance of "MAGA ladies." "Looks clockable," the lefty ex-anchor added, referring to a tactless term used to describe a trans person who is not "passing" or is identifiable as their biological gender.The Post is tut-tutting the word as "tactless"? We have to pretend it's "tactless" to note that a tranny isn't passing? I am so sick of leftwing assumptions in "conservative" media. I have heard "to clock" to mean "to notice" or "to see," so I guess Lemon's use of gay slang here means that you can "clock" that someone is a tranny.
"Let's end on that note," his co-host awkwardly says at the end of the clip, which was widely shared online. Lemon's comments drew immediate backlash from critics, who blasted him for using "trans" to insult the fellow former news anchor since he has stood up against transphobia in the past.
"For a man who praises trans people, #DonLemon sure feels comfortable using trans as an insult," Jeff Varner posted in response. "The Left is using "Trans" as an insult now?" wondered another. "Hypocrisy at its finest. When it's convenient, principles fly out the window," another user wrote. The slur comes despite the lefty host being loudly outspoken about LGBTQ rights in the past. Lemon railed against transphobia and anti-LGBTQ legislation at the Son Awards in 2023 -- an annual event celebrating the achievements of Black gay and queer men.

House Judiciary Committee Report: The Criminal Christopher Wray's FBI Put One Hundred and Fifty Republicans Under Surveillance In His Treacherous "Arctic Frost" Operation
Trump is such a dictator, man. Don't you watch Stephen Colbert?
I don't believe any of those "men" have an Autopen Pardon. Or even a real pardon.
The House Judiciary Committee said Tuesday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) "Arctic Frost" probe potentially targeted more than 150 Republican officials and allies. Newly released documents reveal the Biden-era Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI ran an investigation into Trump allies, according to the committee. Nearly 200 pages of records provide insight into the sweeping probe. The move reportedly started under FBI Director Chris Wray and later continued by Special Counsel Jack Smith under Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The committee, led by Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, alleged that "45 individuals," including former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry, former Republican North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark and former Trump attorney John Eastman "were potentially under investigation." ... Another email reportedly detailed the Arctic Frost team requesting about $16,600 from the DOJ Public Corruption Unit for June travel to carry out over 40 interviews, serve subpoenas and conduct multiple device search warrants. These targeted numerous GOP-linked officials across Arizona, Virginia, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New Mexico, according to the documents. The GOP-led committee claimed that "[a]nother 111 individuals," including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, senior adviser for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro, current DOJ weaponization czar Ed Martin and former DOJ official Jeff Rosen "were also potentially under investigation." ... A September 2022 document called "Subpoena_Counsel_Matrix" included the names of dozens of activists connected to the GOP, public officials, alleged electors and government workers allegedly tied to events around the 2020 election, the outlet reported. Evidence released by the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley appears to indicate that Wray, Garland and then-Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco approved the launch of the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump's actions surrounding the Capitol riot. Emails also reveal coordination between the Biden White House Counsel's Office and an anti-Trump FBI agent to obtain phones belonging to Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, according to a Senate Judiciary Committee press release. Arctic Frost targeted numerous GOP officials and organizations, according to a committee press release in September. FBI Deputy Director recently Dan Bongino alleged that Smith monitored the phone records of multiple GOP lawmakers, including Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.

Hurricane Melissa Slams Into Jamaica and Cuba With 185 MPH Winds, Now Moves To the Bahamas
Yes, it's a powerful hurricane. Which proves global warming.
But we've had a relatively peaceful hurricane season before this one. Which also proves global warming, because global warming is proven both by more severe weather and less severe weather. Any deviation from the norm, even towards milder weather, proves global warming. Do you racists understand The Science (TM) I'm spitting at ya? The storm ravaged the island nation.Hurricane Melissa will leave Cuba and sweep through the Bahamas today, then Bermuda late tomorrow with strong winds, heavy rain and coastal flooding following its historic Category 5 landfall in Jamaica and southeast Cuba lashing. The devastating hurricane made landfall early Tuesday afternoon near New Hope, Jamaica, as a Category 5 with winds of 185 mph and a pressure of 892 millibars, a historic strike that will lead to months and years of recovery. This landfall will go down in the record books as one of the strongest anywhere in the Atlantic Basin.The video that hurricane-chaser planes are getting of the storm-form itself are incredible.

"BLOOD BATH," "WAR ZONE:" Purge Begins at CBS; Biased Trump-Deranged Anchor John Dickerson Out, Gayle King Says She's Leaving, Trump-Deranged and "Geriatric" 60 Minutes Facing Shake-Up
One bureau and two streaming shows cancelled:
You might remember Scott Pelley giving a sanctimonious college graduation speech warning that free speech is dead because CBS settled with Trump over his 60 Minutes/Kamala Harris interview lawsuit. Well, he's next on the list. Weiss is also looking to "shake up" the biased 60 Minutes -- and fire the sanctimonious left-wing Priest of Progressive Politics Scott Pelley.
The Daily Mail says "Gayle King's days are numbered." And that's just the biggest name mentioned -- 2,000 staffers are set to be fired across CBS as a whole, with 100 to be fired from the third-place basket-case "news" division.
#ShuterScoop can exclusively reveal that new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss has been quietly squeezing out veteran anchors as part of her radical overhaul of the network's culture -- and Dickerson was the first big casualty. "Let's be clear -- he didn't quit, he was pushed," says one senior network insider. "Bari is making it impossible for the old guard to stay. She's cleaning house -- aggressively." Weiss, who built her brand railing against "woke journalism," is clashing with long-time CBS personalities over editorial tone and coverage priorities. "She wants straight talk, not safe talk," says another source. "If you can't keep up with her vision, she'll make sure you want to leave." The newsroom is now in open revolt. "It's a war zone," says one producer. "People are terrified, whispering about who's next." Insiders say Weiss is hoping more will follow -- especially Gayle King, whose exit would mark the network's tipping point. "Once Gayle's gone," one exec admits, "the Bari era will be complete."
Brutal layoffs are hitting CBS News after its parent company announced a plan to axe more than 2,000 staff across the organization. New editor-in-chief Bari Weiss acknowledged the cuts on the network's morning editorial call Wednesday, Semafor's Max Tani reported. Weiss called it a 'enormously difficult day' for the network, according to Tani. ... The layoffs will include an initial round of cuts on Wednesday that will impact 1,000 staffers across various departments. Another 1,000 are soon to follow, the New York Times reported. At CBS News, nearly 100 positions will be eliminated, a person familiar with the matter told CNN. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the cuts were planned before Weiss arrived at the network. ... The news comes days after CBS Evening News co-host John Dickerson announced his resignation, ending a stint plagued by poor ratings. The 16-year CBS veteran had been quietly negotiating his exit for weeks, Status reported. Paramount's merger with Ellison's Skydance in July led to the decision. Well-connected sources told the Daily Mail earlier this year that executives will 'most likely' not renew longtime CBS Mornings host Gayle King's contract when it expires in May. The show, hosted by King since 2011, has also suffered from poor ratings.Wiess also "blindsided" the president of CBS News by picking a former WSJ editor as her top deputy, without consulting him.
CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss reportedly took the organization's president Tom Cibrowski by surprise as she tapped former Wall Street Journal editor Charles Forelle as one of her top deputies. Weiss announced the move during a Tuesday morning editorial call, telling staff that Forelle will serve in a deputy editor role for at least a few months, according to a report by Breaker Media that cited unnamed sources.
One bureau and two streaming shows cancelled:
Scott NoverUPDATE! CBS Saturday Morning show canceled, hosts fired. The fact that you didn't know there was a show called CBS Saturday Morning is a clue as to why it was cancelled. The "Race and Culture Unit" -- which sounds like some DEI commie gobedlygook -- was "gutted."
@ScottNover 48m Here's what we know about how the Paramount layoffs are affecting CBS News: • The South Africa bureau is closing, • Mornings Plus and Evening News Plus, streaming-only extensions of the morning and nighttime broadcasts, are ending.
Jeremy Barr
@jeremymbarr One CBS News staffer described the cuts as a "blood bath." I've also heard that the Race and Culture unit was "gutted."
You might remember Scott Pelley giving a sanctimonious college graduation speech warning that free speech is dead because CBS settled with Trump over his 60 Minutes/Kamala Harris interview lawsuit. Well, he's next on the list. Weiss is also looking to "shake up" the biased 60 Minutes -- and fire the sanctimonious left-wing Priest of Progressive Politics Scott Pelley.
The clock may be ticking for top talent at "60 Minutes". CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss is looking to shake up the iconic TV news magazine -- and casualties could include any number of the show's star anchors, The Post has learned. The 41-year-old newshound was tapped this month to restore "balance" to the Tiffany Network's news unit, according to David Ellison, CEO of CBS owner Paramount Skydance -- and insiders say she believes "60 Minutes" has drifted too far to the left, sources said.But don't worry, CBS isn't just firing people. They're also looking to hire people. Last week a rumor went around that Bari Weiss, now editor-in-chief of CBS News, was looking to poach Bret Baier, presumably to anchor their basement-rated evening news cast. I don't think that's true and I wouldn't want to see that happen anyway. Bret Baier? Is this the best we can do? We don't even like him on Fox. But this might be more solid: the New York Post reports she's looking to poach CNN's sole Republican, Scott Jennings, to be a commenter on the network.
Among Weiss's rumored targets, according to insiders, is Scott Pelley. The anchor slammed CBS's then owner Paramount in an on-air tirade this summer for inking a $16 million settlement with President Trump over allegations that "60 Minutes" "deceptively edited a Kamala Harris interview. Likewise, Bill Whitaker, the correspondent who conducted the controversial Harris interview, may also be in the crosshairs after he was criticized for throwing softball questions and not vetting what was aired, sources said. "Bari isn't wrong to try to bring in new people," said a CBS source, noting that Pelley and Whitaker are 68 and 74, respectively. "Most of the show's correspondents and its viewers are geriatric."
Ugh. I sure hope that this "reformer" isn't looking for a retread. Scott Jennings would be a great get for CBS. And it would be good for conservatives. For one thing, many more people would actually see him dismantling libtards on TV. For another thing, without Scott Jennings drawing eyeballs to CNN clips, Abby Philips would see what her real value is: None. None value. I would say that her ratings would fall but her ratings are already in the basement with Jennings. But with Jennings, her stupid retard-show gets internet eyeballs on Jennings clips.
The two met at the Tiffany Network's New York headquarters last week, according to the news site Semafor. ... The Post reported on Monday that John Dickerson, co-anchor of the "CBS Evening News," is leaving the network at the end of the year. Dickerson, who will continue to co-anchor the nightly newscast with Maurice DuBois until his departure, is set to exit as the entire news division at CBS braces for a round of painful job cuts. .. Given that Jennings is not a full-time employee at the network, he is free to meet with anyone, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. A CNN spokesperson declined to comment. The Post has sought comment from Jennings, CBS News and Weiss. ... Earlier this year, Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong revealed that he reached out to [Jennings] about a possible role with the newspaper's "LAT Next" media venture. ... David Ellison-owned Paramount Skydance hired Weiss for the top editorial job at CBS News with the mandate of making the network more "balanced" and "fact-based." The 41-year-old exec, who sold her Free Press newsletter to Paramount for a reported $150 million, is eager to put her stamp on the news division in the face of skepticism from rank-and-file staffers. Norah O'Donnell, who left "CBS Evening News" earlier this year, met with Weiss and is being discussed as a possible candidate to reclaim her old job, The Post reported earlier this month.

"What the F*** Did You Just Do?!:" America's First Gay President Ripped Nancy Pelosi for Rushing to Endorse the Dickriding Dingbat Kamala Harris
This is according to Jonathan Karl's new book, which I definitely do not suggest you buy. He's a dirty leftwing propagandist, and the title is Retribution. It's about Trump's retribution, known by normal people as "justice" or "turnabout is fair play."
Anyway, this Democrat symp says that Obama was womanishly peeved that he got one brain-damaged retard out of the race only for Nancy Pelosi to endorse the other brain-damaged retard. Without so much as a by-your-leave-Your-Majesty. The gall!The Democrat-Antifa-Media Party is still addicted to stopping all debate and discourse and instead presenting the Party Line and telling the peons to get in line.
'What the f*** did you just do?' Obama's furious call to Nancy Pelosi after election betrayal Former President Barack Obama was not pleased that former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris the day after President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. In his new book Retribution, ABC News's Jonathan Karl provided new details on what had been widely known - that Obama didn't want a quick coronation of Harris, but rather 'a process' to determine who would become the Democratic nominee. The Daily Mail obtained an advanced copy. Obama called Pelosi shortly after her endorsement of Harris became public. 'The Obamas were not happy,' a Pelosi confidant told Karl. 'This person summed up Obama's message to Pelosi as, essentially, "What the f*** did you just do?"' Pelosi told the former Democratic president: 'That train has left the station.' The endorsement had come as a surprise to Obama because he and Pelosi had been in 'regular communication' as it appeared then 81-year-old Biden was nearing the decision to drop out of the race, and 'they agreed Harris should not simply be handed the nomination unchallenged,' Karl wrote. 'Therefore, Obama and Pelosi - arguably the two most influential figures in the Democratic Party - had privately agreed to abstain from making any endorsements,' the longtime ABC News reporter said. ... Around 1 pm the next day [after Biden's withdrawal], Pelosi endorsed Harris, leaving Obama miffed. 'The former president wanted to know what had happened. Why had Pelosi issued a statement endorsing Harris so soon? Hadn't he and Pelosi agreed days earlier that party leaders anointing the vice president as Biden's replacement would be a mistake?' Karl wrote. A source close to Obama told Karl that the former president wasn't actually angry at Pelosi over the endorsement, characterizing the conversation as a 'good-natured ribbing'. But the source close to the California congresswoman remembered it differently, believing Obama sounded 'genuinely irritated' by Pelosi's move, using the four-letter word to describe the tone.
A senior Biden adviser, who also worked in the Obama White House, told Karl that the real reason Obama didn't want Pelosi to endorse Harris so quickly was that the former president didn't think the vice president could win. 'There's only one Black Jesus,' the senior Biden adviser quipped. Someone even closer to Pelosi was also surprised by the former House Speaker's decision: Pelosi's own husband. 'Kamala?' Paul Pelosi asked his wife, Karl reported. 'Don't start with me,' Nancy Pelosi replied in a conversation shortly after her endorsement of the vice president became public. Pelosi had never been a big Harris fan and had privately told Biden in 2020 that she had reservations about him picking her fellow Californian as his running mate. But with major Democrats like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and potential challengers like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer quickly backing Harris, 'she had no choice,' Karl wrote. 'No other candidates had stepped forward - Kamala Harris was it. The only thing Pelosi could do was try to help her win the election,' Karl said.

The Man Arrested for Offering $45,000 to Anyone Who Could Kill AG Pam Bondi Turns Out To Be, Get This, a "Trans Nonbinary"
I'm not going to rush into the details because I'm aware that most of you are in a state of absolute shock. A left-wing trans nonbinary extremist? Implicated in political violence?
Make it make sense! The world's gone mad! Are you all comfortable? Are you sitting down? I wouldn't want you to collapse from shock when you hear the news.Andy NgoI'm very surprised this mixed-up miscreant hails from Tim Walz's transgender state. Also surprising: A leftwing judge immediately set him free on no bail.
@MrAndyNgo 1h A Minnesota radical leftist who identifies as trans nonbinary was federally charged for allegedly posting a death threat to U.S. @AGPamBondi. The death threat came with a cash reward for anyone able to assassinate her. Tyler Maxon Avalos was charged with interstate transmission of a threat to injure a person. He was released from custody. His social media has radical anarchist posts and a reference to John Brown. In Texas, members of the John Brown Gun Club and a local North Texas Antifa network were indicted on terrorism and organized crime charges related to an ambush shooting on an ICE facility. https://ngocomment.com/p/the-first-federal-terror-case-against
Avalos' social media avatar is of a character from the "Inglourious Basterds" film, which Antifa like for their fantasy of killing Nazis. http://ngocomment.com

ANTIFA: Democrat judges simply refuse to take criminals off of the street. Tyler Maxon Avalos was arrested in Minnesota after putting out a $45K hit on General Pam Bondi. Judge Douglas Micko released Avalos without bail despite a lengthy violent criminal record. The judge has been critical of the Trump administration and ordered ICE to explain why it is detaining illegals.

Trump Scrapes Enough Federal -- and Private -- Money to Pay the Troops for One More Week
Nick SortorA "mystery donor" reportedly donated $130 million to help pay the troops, but surely that isn't enough to cover the military's personnel budget, even for a week.
@nicksortor BREAKING: The White House has found a way to make sure troops are PAID this week, despite the ongoing Schumer Shutdown, VP JD Vance has confirmed Fantastic. These heroes deserve every dime on time.
An unnamed donor is giving $130m (£100m) to the Pentagon to help pay US troops during the government shutdown, sparking ethics concerns. US defence officials confirmed the gift, which President Donald Trump said will make up for shortfalls in paying the country's 1.32m service members, but declined to identify the donor. Trump provided a few clues, though, saying on Saturday that he was "a big supporter of mine" and a US citizen.The NYT identified the donor as Mellon fortune heir Tim Mellon, and then, you'll never believe it, claimed it would be illegal for the US to use the money to pay the troops whose salaries the Democrats are blocking.
They're gearing up to challenge the payments to the military. As Democrat Whip Katherine Clarke admitted last week -- before she began backpedaling -- the Democrats want to inflict "suffering" on the American people for "leverage" in trying to get money for illegal aliens. Democrats don't want to be blamed for suing to stop Trump from paying troops stuck overseas in warzones without pay. They're counting on the ACLU or Norm Eisen to sue on their behalf -- but everyone knows those are just Democrat-Antifa-Media Party catspaws. From Ed Morrissey: John Thune says that Democrats are quietly praying for the shutdown to end.
Timothy Mellon, a reclusive billionaire and a major financial backer of President Trump, is the anonymous private donor who gave $130 million to the U.S. government to help pay troops during the shutdown, according to two people familiar with the matter. Mr. Trump announced the donation on Thursday night, but he declined to name the person who provided the funds, only calling him a "patriot" and a friend. But the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the donation was private, identified him as Mr. Mellon. Shortly after departing Washington on Friday, Mr. Trump again declined to identify Mr. Mellon while talking to reporters aboard Air Force One. He only said the individual was "a great American citizen" and a "substantial man.
... Mr. Mellon, a wealthy banking heir and railroad magnate, is a longtime backer of Mr. Trump and gave tens of millions of dollars to groups supporting the president's campaign. Last year, he made a $50 million donation to a super PAC supporting Mr. Trump, which was one of the largest single contributions ever disclosed. A grandson of former Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, Mr. Mellon was not a prominent Republican donor until Mr. Trump was elected. But in recent years, he has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into supporting Mr. Trump and the Republican Party. Mr. Mellon, who lives primarily in Wyoming, keeps a low profile despite his prolific political spending. He is also a significant supporter of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who also ran for president last year. Mr. Mellon donated millions to Mr. Kennedy's presidential campaign and has also given money to his anti-vaccine group, Children's Health Defense. The Pentagon said it accepted the donation under the "general gift acceptance authority."
Still, the donation appears to be a potential violation of the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits federal agencies from spending money in excess of congressional appropriations or from accepting voluntary services.
"There are rank-and-file Democrats, we've had back-channel conversations...that have intensified." "There are people who want to get this figured out on the Democrat side." "There are. But the challenge is the Democrat leadership couldn't care LESS about this." "Chuck Schumer, they're in a BOX. They are running SCARED of the far-left."Video at the link. It is speculated by Mark Halperin (I think) that what will eventually happen is that Chuck Schumer will tell some purple-state Democrats to "betray" him and vote to end the shutdown, so that Chuck Schumer can pretend playing the Tough Guy for his inevitable primary fight with -- and primary loss to -- Alexandria Donkey Chompers. CNN's excitable schmoll analyst delivers the bad news to the Democrats: the GOP has gained popularity during the Democrat-Antifa Shutdown.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Hatred
The insanity surrounding Trump's renovation of the White House is truly remarkable to behold. The meltdown among the leftist establishment has beggared belief. Trump is doing a major renovation to the property. It happens from time to time. But this time, it is of course monstrous and an assault on decency, motherhood and the American Way.
This crazy overreaction is for two reasons. The first and most obvious, of course, is the simple fact that it is Trump doing it. It doesn't matter if the renovation is valuable and useful. It doesn't matter if Trump finagled a way to pay for it without taxpayer money. All that matters is that the Bad Orange Man is doing it. For many people, that's as far as it goes. Trump, therefore bad. It needn't be more complicated than that.

The Morning Report — 10/29/25
I was going to say that his sudden apostasy on Climate Change doomerism stinks to high heaven. For sure he senses that the public is no longer susceptible to the nonstop propaganda blitz every time there's a hurricane, earthquake, wildfire, flooding, cold snap or other natural disaster or even regular occurring phenomenon like the change of seasons. To me like every con artist in history, when the audience can see the ventriloquist's lips move or the strings on the dummy or the pea in the shell game, then it's way past time to either give it up or come up with a new con. And it sure seems as if Gates is attempting to do just that. Most disgustingly is what he let slip that is more than just a tad alarming as a tell of what lies ahead for this bastard child of Blofeld and Frankenstein: "A new religion or a new philosophy of, okay, how do we stay connected with each other, not addicted to these things that’ll make video games look like nothing in terms of the attractiveness of spending time on them" Am I imagining things, or is he setting himself up to be some sort of Messianic figure who imagines himself and his ilk as the savior(s) of humanity, this time via AI or whatever other invention or idea they come up with that can be twisted and abused so that they and their ilk can divide and conquer for their own nefarious purposes of remaking humanity and society in their own image.
Doesn't that sound familiar . . . Democrats! Socialists! Leftists! Islam! cough-cough-cough... Indeed it does.
Have a good day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
In a recent memo, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has pushed back against what he calls a “doomsday outlook” on climate change, signaling a shift in his views on the risks posed by a warming planet. Despite the move, he remains an extremist on a variety of issues, including his belief that we need a new “god” for humans to worship in the age of AI. . .Despite Gates’ seeming change of heart on pushing climate alarmism, he remains dedicated to a variety of extreme leftist positions. . . the allure of these technologies could be so great that people may become addicted to them, spending more time in virtual worlds than in the real one. To counteract this risk, Gates suggested that a new spiritual framework may be necessary to keep humanity grounded and connected to one another. “You know, you can almost call it a new religion or a new philosophy of, okay, how do we stay connected with each other, not addicted to these things that’ll make video games look like nothing in terms of the attractiveness of spending time on them,” he said.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) compared U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II while speaking Monday at the U.S. Capitol during a Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism hearing on immigration enforcement.This would be comical were it not so disgustingly tragic on several levels. First it was a Democrat, FDR, worshipped to this day as a semi-deity by Leftists who via an executive order had Americans of Japanese ancestry, the Nisei, rounded up and put into internment camps, on the pretext that they presented an internal threat to American national security in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack and subsequent declaration of war on Japan. Equally disgusting was the Supreme Court's Korematsu decision that upheld the order as constitutional. The parallels to today's lawless judiciary that by itself or in cahoots with the Leftist/globalist/Democrat cabal hs usurped its authority to sabotage and derail candidate and then President Trump's agenda at every turn, as you can see in the links below vis a vis nixing his authority to send troops to Portland and his authority to fire federal idlers hacks and layabouts during the government shutdown, which as an aside is being blamed on Democrats much to the shock of the media propagandists. As for FDR, recall that he was no fan of the Bill of Rights and Constitution as written and came up with his cockamamie Four Freedoms bullshit and some other set of rights that gave the government supremacy over the individual, contrary to the founding of this nation. This is one big reason why to this day we are trillions in debt and that Congress is competely dysfunctional and abrogating its oath and responsibility to legislate per the will of the people. On top of all that, to this day Dick Durbin has yet to be fully investigated and held accountable for his connection and potential role in the near mass assassination of GOP politicians at a softball practice by Leftist gunman and Bernie Sanders acolyte James Hodgkinson. His continued presence in the hallowed halls of the Senate is an effrontery to decency on every level imaginable. As we, or at least most of us lament the coming disaster that is this Zohran Mamdani to Gracie Mansion. While NYC may not survive the perfect storm of Communism and Islam, for those who are delighting in the Big Apple getting what its voting for good and hard, just a little whisper in your ears that it won't necessarily be limited to New York.
“Nazi bootlickers” are running rampant in Milford, Conn. — and apparently I’m one of them.So, okay, it's Milford Connecticut which is close enough to NYC not to raise an eyebrow among many of you. And yet the hatred and invective is likely the same that can be found in, pardon the expression so-called "Flyover Country." Cancer metastasizes, my friends. Remember that Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah, albeit on a college campus, but Utah nonetheless. The Democrat Party and the Leftist movement must be dismantled and denuded of their ability to ever hold power and influence. How we are to do that within the limits of our ethics and morals with the least pain and suffering, and while maintaining the civil society and government that we crave to preserve is the big question.
That is, according to a local Democrat committee member who hurled invective at me and other Republican aldermen at a public meeting this month.
The accusation reflected a growing national sickness: The harsh political rhetoric that led to Charlie Kirk’s assassination is eating away at the roots of American politics — our local town councils. The ugliness exploded after our town’s elected GOP aldermen declined to approve Democratic nominee Toni Lombardi to temporarily fill a vacant seat on the board. At that, Nadine Padowicz — a member of the Milford Democrat Town Committee — slammed us as “homegrown Nazis,” simply for our affiliation with President Donald Trump.
In her remarks, Padowicz called Trump a “thug who is destroying our democracy” and said we Republicans “lick his boots.”
Have a good day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

LOL, Jeffrey Epstein "pal" Bill Gates walks back his previous banana-boat climate catastrophism.
Low-IQ thug Jasmine Ratchet has been getting rich from corporations while denouncing the same corporations. Oh -- and she's investing heavily in pot. Andrew Kerr of Free Beacon:
LOL, Jeffrey Epstein "pal" Bill Gates walks back his previous banana-boat climate catastrophism.
Billionaire Bill Gates -- long one of the loudest voices warning of climate catastrophe -- now says the world has bigger problems to worry about. In a 17-page memo released Tuesday, the Microsoft co-founder called for a "strategic pivot" away from the obsessive focus on reducing global temperatures, urging leaders instead to prioritize fighting poverty and eradicating disease in the developing world. "Climate change is a serious problem, but it's not the end of humanity," Gates wrote. Gates, 70, argued that global leaders have lost perspective by treating climate change as an existential crisis while millions continue to suffer from preventable diseases like malaria. "If I had to choose between eradicating malaria and preventing a tenth of a degree of warming, I'd let the temperature go up 0.1 degree," he told reporters ahead of next month's U.N. climate conference in Brazil. "People don't understand the suffering that exists today." For decades, Gates has positioned himself as a leading advocate for global climate initiatives, investing billions in green energy projects and warning of the dangers of rising emissions. Yet his latest comments mark a striking reversal -- and a rare admission that the world's climate panic may have gone too far. "If you think climate is not important, you won't agree with the memo," Gates told journalists. "If you think climate is the only cause and apocalyptic, you won't agree with the memo. It's a pragmatic view from someone trying to maximize the money and innovation that helps poor countries."
Low-IQ thug Jasmine Ratchet has been getting rich from corporations while denouncing the same corporations. Oh -- and she's investing heavily in pot. Andrew Kerr of Free Beacon:
Inside Jasmine Crockett's Secret Stock Portfolio and Failed Attempts To Become a Marijuana MagnateAs a black woman of immigrant, I celebrate Jasmine Ratchet and I oppose any dirty-assed racist who wants to stop her from being Cannabis Queen. Indiana announces it will redistrict for 2026. They might go for two whole seats. The current makeup is 7 Republicans, two Democrats.
Crockett, a potential 2028 Senate candidate, did not report her stakes in major pharmaceutical, fossil fuel, marijuana, technology, and automobile firms
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) owned stocks in at least 25 companies that she did not disclose to the public during her first congressional run in 2022, even though she'd quietly admitted to the holdings the previous year as a Texas state legislator. Crockett also didn't reveal the stock holdings once she got to Washington in 2023. The far-left firebrand's impressive financial portfolio--according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request--clashes with her image as an eco-warrior and beacon of progressivism. Further, Crockett, a self-described civil rights attorney, was an active stakeholder in the cannabis business--seeking unsuccessfully to open marijuana dispensaries in Ohio--even as she represented, as a defense lawyer, a man accused of murdering someone in a marijuana deal gone bad. Both in the Texas statehouse and in Congress, Crockett has pushed bills to decriminalize marijuana. The records obtained by the Free Beacon open a window into the personal financial life of Crockett, 44, who says she supports herself. "I have no husband, y'all. Never been married, never been engaged," she told an interviewer in February, holding up her hands to emphasize the absence of a ring. The House sophomore's stock holdings include stakes in several corporations that stood to benefit from actions she's taken as a lawmaker and legislation she's introduced in Congress, and others that stand in opposition to the image she's cultivated as a champion of green energy. Crockett reported owning a sizable stock portfolio in her last financial disclosure as a Texas state lawmaker covering the 2021 calendar year, with stakes in major pharmaceutical, fossil fuel, technology, automobile, and marijuana firms. But the potty-mouthed progressive, who said Wednesday she is strongly considering running for Senate in Texas, did not disclose owning any of those same stocks in her first congressional financial disclosure, which also covered her financial holdings during the 2021 calendar year. Twenty-five undisclosed stocks in Crockett's portfolio include her ownership of shares in Amazon, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, General Motors, Uber, DuPont, ExxonMobil, American Airlines, AT&T, Aurora Cannabis, Ford, and "Corporate Cannabis," and "Stocks Worldwide," the records show. Crockett also reported in her last Texas financial disclosure owing debts of at least $110,000--none of which she divulged in her first congressional financial disclosure covering the same calendar year. Candidates for Congress are required to file detailed financial disclosures. If victorious, they must file more disclosures when beginning their terms. False or incomplete financial reports can lead to civil and even criminal penalties. Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of ethics watchdog Americans for Public Trust, told the Free Beacon that Crockett's undisclosed stock portfolio and debts raise major conflict of interest concerns, with several of the companies, in particular the firms in the pharmaceutical and marijuana industries, standing to benefit from actions she's taken in the Texas state legislature and Congress.
Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Braun announced Monday that he's calling lawmakers back to the Capitol for a special legislative session to redraw the state's congressional map -- a move expected to solidify GOP representation and potentially add up to two more Republican-held seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. Braun said in a statement posted to X that he's taking action "to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington" and to ensure Indiana's congressional representation remains fair. The governor's call follows President Donald Trump personally urging Indiana Republicans earlier this month to move quickly on redistricting before next year's elections. "I am calling a special legislative session to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington and ensure their representation in Congress is fair," Braun wrote. "I am also asking the legislature to conform Indiana's tax code with new federal tax provisions to ensure stability and certainty for taxpayers and tax preparers for 2026 filings." Indiana's current U.S. House delegation consists of seven Republicans and two Democrats. While Braun didn't specify whether the goal is to flip both Democrat-held seats, GOP strategists view the session as a clear opportunity to grow the party's majority and counter Democrat-led gerrymanders in blue states.Elon Musk has launched a direct (and superior) competitor to wikipedia, Grokipedia.
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence venture xAI launched "Grokipedia" on Monday -- a new online encyclopedia built to challenge what he says is Wikipedia's entrenched political bias. The site, powered by xAI's technology and integrated with Grok, the same AI system behind Musk's X platform, aims to provide a politically balanced alternative to the long-dominant Wikipedia, which critics have accused for years of leftist censorship and selective editing. Grokipedia, now live in its beta "v0.1" stage, opens with roughly 885,000 entries -- a fraction of Wikipedia's seven million English-language pages but a notable start for a platform that launched just hours ago. Some users experienced temporary errors upon the rollout, but by Monday evening the site was running smoothly. Musk framed the project as part of his broader effort to restore transparency and ideological diversity to the digital space, echoing his moves to overhaul Twitter into X. The billionaire's feud with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has grown increasingly bitter in recent months. Musk has accused Wales of allowing Wikipedia to devolve into a propaganda outlet that protects liberal narratives while suppressing dissenting voices. "Defund Wikipedia until balance is restored," Musk wrote in a January post on X. Wales, for his part, has dismissed Grokipedia as an unserious experiment, telling the Washington Post last week that AI-generated content is prone to "massive factual errors" and lacks editorial oversight.

As Democrats Spiral Crazily Over the East Wing Renovation, Noted Chinese Spywhore Asset Eric Swallowell Declares That All Democrat Candidates Must Vow to Raze the (Finished) Ballroom to the Ground
Glenn Reynolds notes that even though the Democrats' florid insanity is driving down their poll numbers to the basement, they just can't stop. Insane people cannot just stop being insane. Obsessives gonna obsess, neurotics gonna neuro.
The Democrats keep discovering new issues to obsess over and alienate normie voters with.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., was mocked for demanding that any 2028 Democratic presidential candidate pledge to demolish President Donald Trump's ballroom. "Don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday. Swalwell followed up with another post to X that read, "Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand." The Democratic lawmaker was called out by conservatives and lawmakers, including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who wrote, "these people are deranged." "I thought you guys were against demolishing anything at the White House," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote. ... The ballroom's construction set off a firestorm of criticism among Democrats, as well as liberal media commentators. "Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom," Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted to X. But conservatives took aim at Swalwell's demands. "Yes, Democrats should run on Trump's ballroom," The Washington Free Beacon's Chuck Ross said. Conservative commentator AG Hamilton called out Swalwell for "promising to spend taxpayer time and money" to destroy the ballroom. He quipped that it was "certainly one way to signal priorities for Democrats."
"The Vince Show" host Vince Coglianese pointed to the Democrats' initial criticism of the demolition at the White House. "I was reliably told that demolishing side buildings = 'destroying the White House,'" he wrote. "Now it's part of the platform!"
Glenn Reynolds notes that even though the Democrats' florid insanity is driving down their poll numbers to the basement, they just can't stop. Insane people cannot just stop being insane. Obsessives gonna obsess, neurotics gonna neuro.
President Donald Trump has done it again -- sent the left and the media (but I repeat myself) down a rabbit hole of absurdity. "It's like the media is a cat and Trump has the world's biggest laser pointer," Margo Cleveland posted on X, "with it currently aimed at the new ballroom." That's right: While Trump tours Asia, dancing, making trade deals and apparently having a blast, he's got his opponents back in the Swamp obsessing over . . . a home renovation project. Using donated funds, not taxpayer money, Trump is rebuilding the White House's shabby East Wing -- originally added to cover up construction of a bomb shelter during World War II -- to create a large and modern space that meets the needs of today's presidency. Naturally, this has the usual gang of idiots fuming. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) on Saturday lectured his fellow Democrats not to even imagine running for the presidential nomination unless they "pledge to take a wrecking ball" to Trump's renovation.Update to Previous Post: More videos of Subsidized Citizens threatening to loot grocery stores at Hot Air.
(Cleveland commented: "The funniest thing about this is not that Swalwell posted it, but that he thought it was so brilliant that he reposted it.") Talk show host Joe Walsh, who once cosplayed as a Republican, took up Swalwell's demand: "I'll say it every day for the next 3yrs," he wrote, "any Democrat running for president in 2028 MUST pledge to tear down Trump's ballroom. It matters." Does it? Does it really? It's hilarious to see such reactions from Democrats like these, along with Joe Scarbrough, Stephanie Ruhle and other Very Serious People, to a project that enriches our national infrastructure and won't cost taxpayers a dime. Those who a couple of years ago were toppling monuments to America's founders and denouncing America itself as a slave state are now posing as defenders of our deep history and heritage. Because nothing says "deep history and heritage" like a structure built in 1942 to hide a bomb shelter. Trump's new White House annex will contain a lot more space, including a huge ballroom with a drone-proof metal roof and other security enhancements. Up to now, big state dinners have been held in tents on the White House lawn, with portable space heaters, awkward temporary restrooms -- and zero overhead protection against security threats like drones, which are becoming a bigger and bigger danger. The new building will make formal receptions and other big events safer and more comfortable. ... But most of the leftists have to pretend. If Trump is for it, a large segment of this country just has to be against it, and in the most overwrought, over-moralizing way. They can't help themselves. Thus when Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoted a Harvard study suggesting a link between consuming Tylenol in pregnancy and autism in children, pregnant Democratic women started posting TikTok videos of themselves gobbling the tablets: That'll show Trump! Some reportedly wound up in the emergency room, but resisting Trump was more important.

House Oversight Committee Declares Biden's "Autopen Presidency" "Null and Void," Recommends Prosecutions for Those Who Wielded the Presidential Autopen with No Constititional Authority to Do So
House panel declares Biden's Autopen Presidency "null and void," concluding that aides with zero Constitutional authority signed pardons and executive orders without Biden's knowledge, all to preserve "the illusion of presidential authority."
In a 91-page report released Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee accused Joe Biden's inner circle of executing and concealing presidential actions without his knowledge, declaring that any orders signed through the autopen were "null and void." The Republican-led panel, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), said it uncovered evidence that senior aides used the mechanical signature device to authorize pardons, commutations, and executive directives while Biden's mental and physical decline worsened -- all to preserve "the illusion of presidential authority." "The Biden Autopen Presidency will go down as one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history," the report stated. "As Americans saw President Biden's decline with their own eyes, his inner circle sought to deceive the public, cover up his condition, and took unauthorized executive actions that are now invalid." The committee urged the Justice Department to launch a full criminal investigation into what it called a "cover-up of historic proportions," naming several aides who invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about their roles. It also demanded the D.C. Board of Medicine investigate Biden's physician for allegedly hiding his true medical state. According to the report, internal emails and documentation revealed a "haphazard process" surrounding clemency and other executive actions, with no reliable record confirming Biden's personal approval. Comer said the findings raise profound constitutional concerns. "If unelected aides were using the autopen to execute presidential powers without Joe Biden's knowledge or consent, that is an assault on the Constitution itself," he said.Prosecute them. You say there's no specific law against this? As a black and queer woman of LGBTQ+ color, I give you the FBI. Well not the FBI. I was doing a Hans Gruber there. (Not black queer or female, but an immigrant.) The left has already given us the law to prosecute under. The J6 prosecutors prosecuted hundreds of people under the vague and novel premise that they were attempting a criminal "fraud against the United States of America." They claimed that anyone who did anything they didn't like were perpetrating a "fraud" on the "people of the United States. Biden's aides clearly, really did perpetrate a fraud on the people of the United States. So let us take what I (as a black queer woman of immigrant) will call the "J6 Precedent" and imprison them all.
