Democrats’ Shutdown Stops Traffic At Critical American Airport

A 75-minute ground stop was issued at Newark Liberty International Airport on Wednesday due to “staffing issues” spurred by the federal government shutdown.

Departing flights were grounded from 3 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. at the New Jersey airport and flights were delayed 40 minutes after the ground stop ended, NBC 4 New York first reported . Roughly 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers missed their first full paychecks on Tuesday, placing strain on an already understaffed Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has been stretched thin for decades, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three other FAA air traffic advisories were issued Wednesday due to insufficient staffing, including Philadelphia Terminal Radar Approach Control Area C, the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) Area D and the Indianapolis ARTCC Area 5, Forbes reported. Philadelphia’s approach control oversees sequencing and separation of planes at Newark, New York’s control center controls flights enroute over parts of Pennsylvania, and Indianapolis’ runs flights over Midwestern states.

The FAA also flagged a potential ground stop Wednesday at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York after 4 p.m., and until 10 p.m. for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C.

This is horrible and totally unnecessary.

“A lot of people are concerned about safety and security, so I’m certainly worried about that, and want to make sure that we’re taking all the steps that we can to be able to tackle that,” Democratic New Jersey Sen. Andy Kim told the Daily Caller News Foundation, regarding the ground stop at his state’s largest airport. “That’s what I’m worried about, making sure that they [air traffic controllers] can get paid and making sure that they don’t have to be the collateral damage in this shutdown.”

Almost all Senate Democrats, including Kim, have voted to block a GOP-backed bipartisan funding measure to end the shutdown a total of 13 times.

In early October, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the FAA is operating 3,000 employees short. Duffy told Fox News on Sunday that the “controllers are wearing thin.”

“Just yesterday we had 22 staffing triggers. That’s one of the highest that we’ve seen in the system since the shutdown began, and that’s a sign that the controllers are wearing thin. And again, they’re taking second jobs. They’re out there looking, ‘Can I drive Uber? Can I find another source of income?’” Duffy said on Fox News Sunday. “What I see coming forward as we get to Monday, tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday, is you’re going to see more staffing shortages in towers, which means you’re going to see more delays, more cancellations.”

Throughout the shutdown, second jobs have become commonplace for controllers. Controllers have begun waiting tables, grocery shopping for Instacart, delivering food for DoorDash and tutoring on weekends to make ends meet, according to Reuters.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Wednesday recognized the strain controllers are feeling amid the shutdown and blamed President Donald Trump for holding back “permission” for Republicans to negotiate with Democrats on a funding measure to end the shutdown.

“Donald Trump needs to get serious, give permission to [House Speaker] Mike Johnson and [Senate Majority Leader] John Thune to sit down and negotiate with Democrats. That’s all it takes,” Jeffries told reporters Wednesday. “I’m very confident in the ability of hard working air traffic controllers, TSA agents and others who are continuing to do their job with the highest degree of professionalism.”

Autopen Presidency: Biden White House Faked Command, Bureaucrats Not Biden Were Running the Nation

October 30, 2025/in Assassination attempt, Courts & Law, Election Fraud, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, Marxism, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Socialism, Techno-Fascism, Technology, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Dr. Richard M. Swier, LTC U.S. Army (Ret.)

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (Republican-majority) released a report titled “The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House”, alleging that Biden experienced cognitive and physical decline during his presidency.

WATCH: House Government Oversight Committee: The actions signed by Bidens Autopen are Null and Void

House Republicans are calling on the Justice Department to launch an investigation into the Biden administration’s use of an autopen.

The report says that some executive actions (including pardons/commutations) were signed via the presidential autopen—a device that replicates the president’s signature—without clear documentation that Biden personally authorized them.

Specifically, the GOP report argues that in the absence of documented direct approval, the actions might be considered “void” or “illegitimate.”

The allegations include that Biden’s aides “exercised presidential powers without authorization” and that the chain of command was compromised.

Byron Donalds: Unelected bureaucrats ran the US with an autopen while an elected POTUS sat on the sidelines in cognitive decline.

This is the biggest cover-up in US history.

A months long House investigation has concluded that President Biden “was losing command of himself” while in office and was not personally involved in many of the pardons, commutations and other executive actions signed by an autopen. The Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked the Justice Department to “address the legal consequences” of House investigators’ conclusion, which “deems void” executive actions and clemency warrants signed by the autopen during the Biden administration that do not include documentation proving the president made the decision. “The Committee requests that you investigate all executive actions taken during the Biden Administration to ascertain whether they were duly authorized by the President of the United States,” Chairman James Comer wrote (Washington Times).

“The Biden Autopen Presidency will go down as one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. As Americans saw President Biden’s decline with their own eyes, Biden’s inner circle sought to deceive the public, cover-up his decline, and took unauthorized executive actions with the autopen that are now invalid,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement (Just the News).

U.S. Department of Justice to Monitor Voting in New Jersey and California

October 30, 2025/in Courts & Law, Election Fraud, Elections, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Regulation, Social Issues, Voter REAL ID/by Conservative Commandos Radio Show and AUN-TV

U.S. Department of Justice staff are to monitor polling sites in New Jersey and California ahead of the November 4th general election.

A statement from the DOJ’s Office of Public Affairs released October 24th announced that election monitors would be sent to six jurisdictions, including one in New Jersey, to ensure ballot security, transparency and compliance with federal law.

“Transparency at the polls translates into faith in the electoral process, and this Department of Justice is committed to upholding the highest standard of election integrity,” U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in the release. The move has drawn criticism from Democratic officials.

According to the DOJ, election monitors are to be sent to the northern part of the state, specifically Passaic County.

Jews Are NOT Voting for Mamdani

Ignore the fake polls. More sharia compliant media disinformation.

No, Jews Are Not Voting for Mamdani

By Daniel Greenfield, Oct 25, 2025:

Ignore the fake polls.There are fake polls out there, but the real polling is pretty clear.

75% of New York State Jews have a negative view of Mamdani. Only 15% have a positive one.

Siena did include a smaller New York City voter survey with a fairly small sample size. It’s less reliable for polling Jews because of that small total sample size since 317 voters means we’re probably looking at a Jewish sample size in the low double digits.

It shows 44% of Jews voting for Cuomo, 23% voting for Sliwa, and 20% voting for Mamdani.

The New York Times/Siena poll shows no Jewish affinity for Mamdani either.

A lot of people are citing the FOX News poll claiming that Cuomo and Mamdani are neck and neck among Jewish voters.

The poll is wrong. Period.

One tell is that margin of error at 9.5% for its Jewish respondents is higher than any other group.

A second tell is that credible polling has significant Jewish backing for Sliwa while the FOX News poll shows very little. A third tell is that New York City has the largest Jewish conservative base in the country, which was reflected not only in polls, but in actual elections, and yet the FOX News poll shows Jews as cliched liberals. What that indicates to me is that unlike the Times/Siena poll, the FOX News poll really did not sample Orthodox Jews.

The non-Jewish parts of the FOX News poll are also dubious. The FOX News poll shows Hochul with a much higher approval rating than she has in real life.

And the biggest red flag for the FOX News poll is it would have us believe that 42% of New Yorkers are satisfied with the way things are today. I have never seen any numbers like that. Most New Yorkers are quite unhappy and that’s one of the things driving the Mamdani campaign.

What went wrong with the FOX News poll? I don’t know. Liberals were clearly oversampled. But it doesn’t reflect the reality of Jewish voters or New York City voters.

Brennan is among the worst of the worst Deep State Liars and Traitors and should be indicted, charged, convicted, sent to prison.

He is a shill for the leftist media and as CIA Director under Biden committed unconstitutional lawfare against POTUS Trump and other conservatives using CIA resources.

Breaking: House Judiciary Committee Refers Former CIA Director John Brennan for Criminal Prosecution

The House Judiciary Committee referred former Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution Monday, which could ultimately lead to an official indictment.

In a letter addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Republican Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio cited “significant evidence” that Brennan “knowingly made false statements during his transcribed interview before the Committee on the Judiciary on May 11, 2023.”

“Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA,” the letter read.

Jordan calls for criminal charges against former CIA Director John Brennan

Story by Rebecca Beitsch

Former CIA Director John Brennan is the subject of a criminal referral to the Justice Department, with House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) writing to the agency Tuesday to argue Brennan should face charges for lying to Congress.

The criminal referral centers on testimony Brennan gave to Congress in 2023, and argues that Brennan’s comments about the CIA’s role in investigating the 2016 election run afoul of information gathered by House Intelligence Committee Republicans.

The letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi largely accuses Brennan of lying about the role the Steele dossier played in intelligence community reviews of the 2016 election and Russian interference. The dossier has since been largely discredited.

The 2017 House Republican report Jordan’s referral is based on remained classified until it was recently released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a move highly criticized by other intelligence community officials.

Will the Deep State let former CIA director John Brennan go to JAIL?

The FBI has opened a criminal investigation against former CIA Director John Brennan. But will Americans finally see justice for his alleged crimes and cover-ups? Or will the Deep State protect him? Former Department of Defense intelligence analyst Jason Buttrill joins Glenn Beck to give his prediction.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Let’s bring in Jason Buttrill who is our chief researcher on the program.

You know, I’m reading a lot about John Brennan, and, you know, I think everybody knows he’s a bad guy.

Well, everybody, but MSNBC and CNN.

They know he’s a bad guy. But, you know, Jason, as I was starting to really refresh my memory. And look into Brennan, as we’re — it looks like maybe the Department of Justice is going to take him on.

And maybe prosecute him for some pretty bad perjury. I started looking into him, and I didn’t realize. I had completely forgotten.

He was the guy who was the main guy that was pushing for torture, during the war.

I mean, he couldn’t torture enough people.
And then he actually had a little group that would meet with the president, and they would develop the kill list. Do you remember, Stu?

Talking about the kill list, that Obama was doing? You know, every week. They developed a kill list. And everybody was like, what do you mean a kill list? Who is on the kill list?

It was John Brennan who was doing all of that stuff. He’s a really, really dark dude. And, you know, hopefully we’ll actually send him to jail for the things that he allegedly has done, besides, you know, develop the kill list. Jason, welcome to the program.

JASON: Hey, thanks, Glenn. I don’t — you know, it depends on — I don’t know. John Brennan has been one of the most slippery, I don’t know how to describe him.

Whether it’s like Bond villains. Or actually maybe it’s more accurate to kill him like a Batman villain.

You remember like in Batman. You know if like the Joker is connected and remains in that comment or cartoon, or if it’s the Penguin.

You know at the end of the comic, they’re going to get away.

You will just see them in a slide. You know, all of a sudden in page where they slip away. They have to live again. You know, to the villain in another comic book.

GLENN: Oh, I know.

Yeah, I know.

And we are playing the role of a — of a — of a Bond villain as well, when it comes to justice.

Our DOJ is like, oh. And we have sharks that are going to eat you.

We have strapped you to this table. But they are going to start with your shoestrings. And then, we will leave. But before you know it, you will be dead in the belly of a shark. And they’re not going to — it’s not going to kill them.

Just shoot them in the head. What are you doing?

Stop with the shark thing. That’s what our DOJ is like. They just have these guys get away with murder.

BRYAN DEAN WRIGHT: John Brennan was my boss at the CIA. He belongs in prison.

Five key details emerge about how intelligence was allegedly manipulated to undermine Trump’s presidency

By Bryan Dean Wright

Former CIA Director John Brennan was once my boss. Given what we just learned in a shocking new report about his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, he should be in prison.

Here’s why.

The CIA released fresh details yesterday about the creation nearly 10 years ago of the agency’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia’s influence campaign in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It found that Russian President Vladimir Putin “aspired” to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the election. That assessment – ordered by then-President Barack Obama and executed by Brennan – ignited the Trump-Russia hoax that would haunt Trump’s presidency for four years.

We’re now learning five key details Brennan used to cook the books to ensure maximum damage to Trump.

1) Brennan lied about his use of the discredited Steele dossier

He told The Wall Street Journal in January of 2017 he never read it and gave it no particular credence.

He was lying.

As his former staffers now admit, Brennan specifically pushed for the inclusion of the dossier in the ICA despite explicit warnings from his top operational and analytical management that the dossier “didn’t meet the most basic [of] tradecraft standards.”

Brennan said he didn’t care.

As we’re now learning, he said he wanted it included because it “fit narrative consistency” — aka Trump Russia collusion — and that then-FBI Director James Comey was demanding the same.

That’s shocking, because both Comey and Brennan’s agencies had investigated its allegations in the fall of 2016 and found them not to be credible.

But both Comey and Brennan still wanted it in, simply and clearly to destroy President Trump.

2) Brennan manipulated who would write the ICA

As we’re now learning, Brennan demanded that his agency take the lead in drafting the ICA, intentionally blocking out other intel agencies and the National Intelligence Council.

As the new report confirms, that decision “depart[ed] significantly from standard procedures for formal IC assessments.”

But why would Brennan do that?

As a former CIA officer, I know why: He wanted to control the authors (his employees), their assessment, any dissent, and their careers if they crossed him.

3) Brennan interfered in the ICA’s drafting

As the new report confirms, “Direct engagement in the ICA’s development [by agency head Brennan] was highly unusual in both scope and intensity. This exceptional level of senior involvement likely influenced participants, altered normal review processes, and ultimately compromised analytic rigor.”

In other words, Brennan knew he could make or break the careers of his analysts. And so he did — ensuring that he got the exact ICA he wanted, which included the junk dossier and a single-source intel report on fabricated “Trump-Russia Collusion.”

4) Brennan rushed the completion of the ICA

As we’re now learning, CIA analysts felt “jammed” by Brennan’s timeline to produce the ICA by late December 2016 — despite the fact that “the election had concluded, and the ICA was essentially a post-mortem analysis.”

The highly compressed timeline was “atypical” for an ICA, which “ordinarily can take months to prepare, especially for assessments of such length, complexity, and political sensitivity.”

But Brennan didn’t care. He wanted this ICA done by the time Trump got into office.

5) Brennan (and Comey) spread the ICA far and wide to leak it

The new report confirms that Brennan and Comey shared the ICA with “more than 200 U.S. officials. This is unusually high for such a highly compartmented product…”

In other words, they briefed it to leak it — to destroy Trump.

In fact, that’s what The New York Times suspected, too. As they asked their readers in January of 2017, why would Brennan and Comey have briefed and shared the discredited dossier “to multiple people in Congress and the executive branch, virtually assuring it would be leaked?”

Dems’ Shutdown Strategy Benefits Health Insurance Firms That Give Millions in Campaign Contributions

October 22, 2025/in Communism, Culture War, Election Fraud, Elections, Government Shutdown, Hot Topics, Lawfare, Marxism, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Socialism, Taxes, Terrorism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Family Research Council

Congressional Democrats claim their refusal to end the government shutdown unless President Donald Trump and Capitol Hill Republicans agree to make permanent Obamacare’s temporary COVID-related tax credits is intended to protect the health care coverage of millions of low and middle-income Americans.

But an analysis by The Washington Stand of campaign contributions data compiled by OpenSecrets.org suggests such solid-wall support for the shutdown also shields a health care insurance industry that gives hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions to Democratic incumbents, challengers, committees, and PACs.

The temporary COVID-related tax credits are hugely important sources of revenues for many of the largest health care insurers that are active in the Obamacare segment, according to Economic Policy Innovation Center Researcher Gudai Bulgac. And the tax credits are significant incentives for fraudulent enrollment.

“The Biden COVID Credits are paid directly to health insurance companies from the U.S. Treasury. Since the funds do not go to individuals, millions of people have been fraudulently enrolled and often do not even know that they have been signed up. About 40 percent of people who are fully subsidized by Biden’s COVID Credits did not make a single claim for a medical procedure or medication in 2024,” Bulgac reported earlier this month.

“This allows the insurance companies to collect thousands of dollars in credits from the government per enrollee while incurring little to no cost. An estimated $27 billion in these improper payments to insurance companies were made in 2025 alone as many insurance companies jumped to take advantage of these credits,” Bulgac continued.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), for example, is viewed as the Democrats’ chief shutdown strategist. The New York Democrat’s Impact leadership PAC received $271,284 in contributions from Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group and the St. Louis-based Centene, two of the 10 biggest health care insurance firms that depend on Obamacare for significant portions of their annual revenue.

The Schumer PAC received an additional $78,024 from Indianapolis-based Elevance, which was formerly known as Anthem, as well as $49,024 from Rhode Island-based CVS Health. That brings the Schumer PAC’s total haul for the period 2019 to 2024 to $398,332. Each of these four firms are among the 10 biggest health care insurance firms in the Obamacare universe, as ranked by Venteur.

UnitedHealth Group is the biggest health care insurance firm in Obamacare, and its political contributions to Democrats far exceed those to Republicans. In the 2024 election cycle, $988,411, or nearly 59% of all the firm’s donations went to Democrats.

Centene gave $38.88 million to Democratic Senate contenders during the 2018-2024 period, compared to $19.16 million to GOP Senate candidates. Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris was the recipient of Centene’s biggest individual contribution, at $225,262 out of a total of $634,223 to six Democrats during the 2024 campaign cycle. The Centene total to the four GOP recipients in the firm’s top 10 came to $348,478, slightly more than half the Democrat total.

Bulgac explains another key factor in Centene’s significance in the behind-the-scenes shutdown influences.

“Centene is the largest Obamacare insurer by market share,” he noted. “Their Obamacare membership nearly doubled from 3.3 million enrollees in 2023 to 5.9 million in 2025. This comprises 21 percent of their total membership of 28 million, with their Medicaid membership making up an additional 12.8 million enrollees. In their 2024 10-K filing for their investors, Centene stated that ‘[r]evenues from CMS are significant to the Marketplace segment.’ In other words, Centene is heavily reliant on payments from the federal government to sustain their business.”

Molina, which ranks ninth in the top 10 of Obamacare insurers, further illustrates the importance of the temporary COVID-related subsidies, Bulgac writes. “Molina also noted in their 10-K that they ‘expect [their] Marketplace enrollment to increase by almost 50 percent in 2025, to a total of 580,000 members by the end of the year … This would represent an estimated Marketplace premium revenue increase of approximately 60 percent in 2025, while continuing to maintain [their] target margins.’”

A more balanced picture is seen with CVS Health political contributions. Republican recipients during the 2024 cycle, led by the Congressional Leadership Fund’s $575,000, received $832,805, while Democrats got $551,352. Among Senate candidates, Democrats in the 2024 cycle received $18.99 million, while Republicans got $28.53 million from CVS Health.

Curiously in the context of the intense partisan deadlock between Senate Republicans and Democrats that occasioned the present shutdown, the excessive influence of health care insurance firms on American politics is a bipartisan concern, according to the Pew Research Center.

“Of the eight groups and institutions we asked about in this survey — such as Congress, the general public and federal courts — health insurance companies are the one that a majority of Americans agree has too much sway in health policy. Just 9 percent say they have about the right amount of influence, and an equal share say they don’t have enough,” Pew reported in a July 10 survey analysis.

“Although politics and health policy are often deeply entangled, this dim opinion of health insurance companies’ influence is an area of notable partisan agreement. Roughly equal shares of Democrats (including those who lean to the Democratic Party) and Republicans (and GOP leaners) express this view. Similar shares of Democrats and Republicans also say Congress has too much influence on health policy, although this view is less widely held than it is for health insurance companies,” Pew said.

Among Republicans, 71% said health care insurers have too much influence of federal health policy, while 69% of Democrats said the same thing.

It is important to understand that the Obamacare temporary subsidies that Democrats backed in 2021 and now demand be made permanent were effective in expanding enrollment by lower and middle-income families because the government made premiums artificially cheap.

“Since enhanced subsidies began in 2021, the market enrollment has grown tremendously, rising from 11 million people in 2020 to 25 million today. Again, Democrats and Republicans interpret this growth in opposite ways. Democrats see it as a sign of success, whereas Republicans are concerned about waste and over-use,” states Mark Shepherd, Harvard Kennedy School associate professor of public policy.

In other words, more customers paying the government subsidized premiums keeps more revenue flowing into the health care insurers’ coffers, while terminating those subsidies could dramatically reduce such revenues for the companies.

Obama’s Hatchet Man John Brennan Referred to DoJ for Criminal Prosecution

October 22, 2025/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Election Fraud, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, Lawfare, Marxism, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Socialism, Techno-Fascism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Geller Report

Former CIA Director John Brennan is the person responsible for the entire Mueller investigation.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has referred former CIA Director John Brennan to Attorney General Pam Bondi for criminal prosecution, alleging he lied to Congress in 2023 about his involvement in the 2016 Russia investigation, particularly regarding the Steele dossier and intelligence handling. The referral relies on declassified documents from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, which indicate Obama-era officials manufactured intelligence to target President-elect Donald Trump without evidence of Russian campaign aid. Democrats criticize the move as partisan, while conservatives view it as essential accountability in the ongoing scrutiny of the Russia probe.

Today, we referred him to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

“We write to refer significant evidence that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan knowingly made false statements during his transcribed interview before the Committee on the Judiciary on May 11, 2023.’ While testifying, Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”

On a side note Brennan called jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam,” arguing that the term “jihadists” should not be used to describe America’s enemies. During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of “political, economic and social forces,” but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in “religious terms.”

Also Brennan was connected with the tampering with Obama’s passport. He led the investigation into the breach of Obama’s passport records – the mysterious passport Obama traveled to Pakistan on in 1981.

The State Department launched an investigation into allegations of improper computer access to Obama’s passport records. The investigation was focusing on one employee – a contract worker with a company headed by an adviser to Obama’s presidential campaign (see details here). We still don’t have any answers.

You will also recall that the key witness in the presidential passport-tampering case was murdered. Shot in the head, in his car, in front of his church.

This guy is bad news.

Jim Jordan seeks criminal charges against ex-CIA Director John Brennan

By: Cleveland.com: Oct. 21, 2025:

Former CIA Director John Brennan testifies before Congress.

WASHINGTON – House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Tuesday asked the Department of Justice to criminally prosecute ex-Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, claiming he lied to Congress about the Steele dossier’s role in a 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian election interference.

Jordan, a Republican from Ohio’s Champaign County, said Brennan’s testimony to his committee in a 2023 interview was “willfully and intentionally false” and contradicted by both CIA records and findings from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).

“Making false statements before Congress is a crime that undermines the integrity of the Committee’s constitutional duty to conduct oversight,” Jordan wrote in a letter to Attorney General Pamela Bondi. He urged the Justice Department to investigate whether Brennan violated 18 U.S.C. § 1001, which prohibits knowingly making materially false statements in congressional investigations. Violating that law is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and significant fines.

Brennan, who led the CIA from 2013 to 2017 under President Barack Obama, has been a frequent and vocal critic of former President Trump and the Republican Party. He has not responded publicly to the referral as of Tuesday afternoon.

At the center of the referral is Brennan’s May 11, 2023, transcribed interview with the Judiciary Committee, during which he asserted the CIA was “not involved at all” with the Steele dossier — a collection of opposition research memos compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele that alleged ties between Donald Trump and the Russian government. Its findings were subsequently discredited.

Newly declassified documents show that a CIA officer helped draft a summary of the Steele dossier for the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), which was published in January 2017. The ICA report produced by the CIA, FBI and NSA concluded that Russia “developed a clear preference” for Donald Trump in the 2016 election and interfered in that election to help him win — a finding that Jordan and others now argue was based in part on flawed intelligence. The report was presented to both President Obama and President-elect Trump and became a key document in the early stages of the Russia investigation.

In that 2023 interview, Brennan also claimed, “The CIA was very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment.”

Update on State Voter ID Laws: This reveals some glaring inadequacies!

October 21, 2025/in Election Fraud, Elections, Featured, Voter REAL ID/by John Droz, Jr.

This is an excerpt from a recent Ballotpedia Daily Brew post.

To me, one of the most concerning takeaways is that after 250 years, we still have fourteen (14) States that continue to require zero identification for an individual who wants to vote! What could go wrong with that?

BTW, just like K-12 education matters, this is another example where “leaving things up to the States” is not any assurance of getting quality results.

As November nears and voters head to the polls in 36 states, let’s review which states require voters to present identification when casting their ballots — and see where voter ID laws have changed in 2025.

Across the U.S., 36 states require voters to present identification to vote at the polls on Election Day. Of those states, 24 require voters to present photo identification, while the other 12 states accept other identification that does not contain a photograph. The remaining 14 states do not require voters to present identification to vote at the polls on Election Day, in most cases.

Ten states have amended their voter ID laws so far in 2025. One state, West Virginia, moved from requiring non-photo identification to vote to requiring photo identification.

Valid forms of identification differ by state. Commonly accepted forms of ID include driver’s licenses, state-issued identification cards, and military identification cards.

Some states requiring voters to provide identification may have exceptions allowing some people to cast a ballot without providing an ID. For instance, 15 states allow some or all voters to sign an affidavit attesting to their identity at the polls instead of presenting identification. Seven states allow another voter or an election official to vouch for the person’s identity in at least some cases. Four states allow voters who live and vote in state-licensed nursing homes or residential care facilities to vote without showing identification.

Three states — Alabama, New Hampshire, and Kentucky — require voters to provide a copy of their identification when requesting an absentee/mail-in ballot. Two states, Arkansas and North Carolina, require voters to provide a copy of their identification when returning an absentee/mail-in ballot.
Across the country, 10 states passed 10 bills related to voter ID for in-person voting or absentee/mail-in voting during 2025 legislative sessions. Some noteworthy laws states adopted this year include:

Colorado SB 1 expanded the list of eligible forms of non-photo identification to include identification and cards issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Indian Health Service, or any other federal agency that includes an address in the state. Colorado has a Democratic trifecta.
Georgia HB 296 required that driver’s licenses used as identification for voting purposes be in a physical format and issued by the Georgia Department of Driver Services. Georgia has a Republican trifecta.
Montana SB 276 expanded the list of eligible forms of identification to include a student ID card issued by a school in the Montana university system or a Montana school that is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Montana has a Republican trifecta.
New Hampshire SB 287 required voters to include a copy of their identification or a notarized signature when requesting an absentee ballot by mail or to present their ID to an election official when requesting an absentee ballot in person. New Hampshire has a Republican trifecta.
Utah HB 300 required voters to provide the last four digits of their driver’s license, ID card, or Social Security number when returning a mail-in ballot, starting on Nov. 5, 2025. Until Dec. 31, 2028, election officials will attempt to match the voter’s signature on the envelope affidavit to the signature on file for voters who do not provide an identification number. Starting on Jan. 1, 2029, voters must provide the last four digits of an identification number or include a copy of an acceptable ID when returning their mail ballot. Utah has a Republican trifecta.
West Virginia HB 3016 required photo identification to vote, though driver’s licenses issued without a photograph remain valid for voting. The bill removed documents from the list of eligible forms of identification and allowed voters 65 years of age and older to use an expired ID if the document was valid when they turned 65. West Virginia has a Republican trifecta.

In addition, Wisconsin voters in April approved a constitutional amendment adding language requiring a photo ID to vote in the Wisconsin Constitution. The amendment allows the state legislature to define what qualifies as a valid photo ID and provide exceptions to the requirement. Wisconsin passed a statutory voter ID law in 2011. On Nov. 4, Maine voters will decide on a ballot measure that would make multiple changes to the state’s election laws, including changes to photo IDs.

Five states adopted five laws related to voter ID in 2024. Thirteen states adopted 14 such laws in 2023. Nine states adopted 10 such laws in 2022.

Mamdani Represents the Zeitgeist of the Militant Democrat Base. He’s a Dangerous Man.

October 19, 2025/in Anti-Semitism, Communism, Culture War, Election Fraud, Elections, Hot Topics, Immigration, Lawfare, Marxism, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Propaganda, Social Issues, Socialism, Techno-Fascism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Daily Signal

Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party and there is little the Democrat establishment can do to stop it.

Most Americans are undoubtedly tired of hearing about New York and the socialist currently leading the city’s mayoral race, but what happens in the Big Apple may unfortunately affect the whole country.

New York held its first debate Thursday night between three leading candidates: Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa, and Mamdani. You can read my night-of analysis here.

But I have one additional takeaway from the debate and race as a whole. The reason Mamdani, who is a state assemblyman and is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, has captured so much attention from the media is that he very much represents the zeitgeist of the evolving Democrat base.

What has struck me about Mamdani from the beginning is not simply his radicalism, but his open radicalism.

Sure, he’s modulated some of his positions from the heady, revolutionary days of 2020. He no longer publicly says that the NYPD is a threat to public safety or puts photos of himself on social media flipping off Christopher Columbus statues. He’s wiggled his way out of talking about the issues that he and virtually everyone on the Left supports when in power. But his policy positions remain very much to the Left of what the Democratic Party would admit it supports. And it couldn’t be clearer that he’s a true believer.

Mamdani’s radicalism is hiding in plain sight.

Government-run grocery stores? Mamdani’s all for it. I’m sure he’ll have a slick video for the first grand opening on social media.

Free city bus rides? Don’t worry, the “rich” will pay and it will cause crime to go down. After all, fare evasion isn’t a crime if the bus is free, right?

Don’t call it defunding the police, call it funding social workers who will surely make the crime issue on the subway go away.

All these terrible ideas have been tried—some even have been tried in New York—but Mamdani’s young base likely doesn’t know or care about that.

Make no mistake, Mamdani is woke on all the cultural issues too. His most dedicated staffers and supporters are DSA members looking to seize power by any means necessary. It would be a mistake to think their only goals are seizing the means of production and giving handouts to their constituents.

Most importantly of all in terms of what Mamdani represents, the Democrat base wants someone who will “resist” President Donald Trump no matter what. If you want to understand the Democrat shutdown strategy, look no further than Mamdani.

It was not too long ago that the assemblyman started making a name for himself by screaming belligerently at Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan over the arrest of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil, a Palestinian refugee has become a martyr of sorts for the Left despite or more likely because of his support for Hamas.

Mamdani leads a Green-Red coalition that more openly embraces socialists and Islamists than the previous Democratic Party iterations would have acknowledged. And this very much works in the modern age given the collapse of the Democratic Party establishment.

The Democrat base doesn’t want moderation, they want confrontation, they want theatrics. They don’t want “abundance” for all, they want to soak their enemies to give to their friends. They want blood, in most cases rhetorical, in some cases literal. Mamdani gives the base what they want, even if his policies ultimately differ very little from the supposedly “moderate” Democrat establishment.

Think of it this way. The tussles on college campuses between protesters and university leadership are very much like the battles taking place within the Democratic Party. The activists and the base make a ruckus, and the leaders shift a little to the Left to appease them. This tug leftward continues over and over again until the “establishment” of today is like the anti-establishment Left of yesterday.

Mamdani represents a triumph of the activist Left over a tired Democrat establishment that can no longer justify itself. In a practical political sense, the current establishment has proven to be a loser.

The country is no longer looking for Biden-ism or Cuomo-ism. The American people saw through the fraud.

So instead of putting forth a “moderate” candidate and trying to slip in the radicalism once in power, they are going for a more strident form of leftism. Bernie Sander-ism, but in a younger, slicker, Millennial package.

Whether this works outside the bluest cities and states is an open question. But it does represent a serious change in American politics, and potentially a very dangerous one. At the very least the old Democrat establishment would “evolve” a bit when in danger of losing support and getting mugged by reality, or more precisely, angry voters.

The new upstarts aren’t phased by reality. They will adopt the most leftwing position and stick with it, no matter the results or repercussions. Once in power, are they likely to let it go?

Mamdani represents an uncompromising, ruthless version of the Left that won’t be deterred by reality, political or otherwise. If he wins, this will become a model used elsewhere. That Mamdani may become the next mayor of New York is a threat not just to New Yorkers, but the whole country.

Trump’s DOJ Hammers a Deep State Traitor

October 19, 2025/in Election Fraud, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, Lawfare, News, Policy, Politics, Propaganda, Socialism, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Amil Imani

Lightning incinerates the swamp as President Trump’s DOJ unleashes a relentless thunderbolt on John Bolton, the war-mongering neocon whose August 22, 2025, FBI raid exposes his treachery in a blaze of classified leaks and anti-Trump betrayal. Federal agents stormed Bolton’s Bethesda home and D.C. office, seizing two iPhones, four computers, hard drives, and “secret” white binders labeled “Trump I-IV” and “allied strikes” under Espionage Act warrants.

On October 16, 2025, a D.C. grand jury convened to slam felony charges — potentially five counts — for mishandling classified documents and leaking via private email during Bolton’s 2018–2019 NSC tenure, a direct stab at Trump’s America First peace agenda. No mercy: Trump’s DOJ, led by Kash Patel, brands Bolton a “lowlife” and “unpatriotic,” crushing the Russia hoax enabler who fueled endless wars and sabotaged diplomacy with North Korea and Iran. This is the reckoning for a traitor’s downfall, and Trump is delivering it.

The raid’s firestorm erupts from Bolton’s own treachery, hoarding classified docs in his office — unlike his home, where no secrets surfaced — revealing daily activity logs and Iran strike plans emailed to personal accounts, a felony breach risking national security. Court filings unsealed in September detail the haul: USB drives, hard drives, and binders marked “secret,” with the FBI authorized to force facial and fingerprint unlocks on Bolton’s devices. The New York Post exposed the grand jury’s October 15 move, calling the case “airtight,” with prosecutors eyeing charges tied to Bolton’s 2020 memoir, The Room Where It Happened, which allegedly exploited classified intel for profit while defaming Trump’s peace deals. Bolton’s pre-raid salvo — slamming Trump’s Putin talks as “Nobel-chasing” weakness hours before agents hit — seals his fate as the Deep State’s poster boy, now facing a legal guillotine for his hawkish sabotage. Trump learned of the raid via TV and roared approval, with Patel’s DOJ vowing to bury Bolton alongside Comey and Brennan in a purge of swamp traitors.

Bolton’s war-monger legacy fuels the inferno. He’s the Bush-era neocon who pushed Iraq’s quagmire, championed Syrian air strikes, and defied Trump’s 2019 order to de-escalate with Iran, earning his ouster as national security adviser. His memoir’s leaks, cleared only partially by NSC review, sparked DOJ fury for endangering allies like South Korea with exposed strike plans. The Washington Post notes Bolton’s defiance: He refused to testify in Trump’s first impeachment, siding with Deep State plotters like Vindman, whose own probe now mirrors Bolton’s fate. Critics like Bernie Sanders cry “retribution,” but the Foundation for Defense of Democracies hails the raid as exposing Bolton’s “reckless” leaks that aided Iran’s proxies by revealing U.S. tactics. This isn’t politics; it’s accountability for a hawk who’d rather burn the world than back Trump’s peace.

The Deep State’s fingerprints smear Bolton’s plot, tying him to the Russia hoax architects — Comey, Brennan, Clapper — who face their own DOJ fire for false statements and fraud. Patel’s “Government Gangsters” list, detailed in his 2024 book, ranks Bolton fifth among traitors, accusing him of feeding anti-Trump narratives to Mark Milley and leaking Ukraine aid details to spark impeachment. The Wall Street Journal confirms that Bolton’s private emails, uncovered in August, show “daily activity” logs sent to unknown recipients, which risk exposing NSC secrets to adversaries like China. His alliance with Joint Chiefs chairman Mark Milley, now under scrutiny for 2021 China calls, cements Bolton as a cog in the cabal that framed Trump’s 2016 win as Kremlin collusion. No wonder the raid hit hard — Bolton’s office held binders detailing Trump’s private talks, a betrayal that demands prison, not pardon.

Trump’s DOJ, with Pam Bondi as A.G. and Patel at the FBI, turns the tables to crush Bolton’s ilk. The grand jury, per the Daily Mail, eyes up to seven years for each Espionage Act count, with prosecutors like Emil Bove building a RICO case linking Bolton to broader Deep State schemes. This aligns with probes into Comey (false statements) and Letitia James (mortgage fraud). Politico notes the stakes: Bolton’s indictment could deter future leakers, fortifying Trump’s control over classified intel as he negotiates Ukraine’s endgame and Gaza’s peace. The Atlantic whines about an “authoritarian” DOJ, but MAGA knows: This is justice, not revenge, for a war-monger who’d sell America for a warhead.

Bolton’s downfall reverberates beyond his ruin, exposing the neocon rot that fueled Iraq and Syria disasters while undermining Trump’s diplomacy with Putin and Kim. NBC reports that his allies — Vindman, Yovanovitch — face similar scrutiny, with DOJ subpoenas targeting their Ukraine leaks as part of a “Deep State” network. Trump’s executive order on declassification, signed September 15, 2025, greenlights releasing NSC logs to expose Bolton’s role in the Russia hoax, a move the Heritage Foundation lauds as “transparency for patriots.” No firewall shields this traitor; Bolton’s legal team scrambles, but the evidence buries him.

President Trump’s raids and indictments are dismantling the Deep State’s war machine, with Bolton as the trophy for MAGA warriors. No retreat: Patel and Bondi vow to jail leakers, from Bolton to Brennan, ensuring that America First triumphs over neocon treachery. Patriots demand convictions.

ROOKE: Trump To Deliver Kill Shot To Schumer’s Billion Dollar Left-Wing Program In Push To End Shutdown Battle

October 18, 2025/in Culture War, Election Fraud, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, Marxism, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Socialism/by The Daily Caller

When Democrats blocked a Republican-passed Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the federal government funded, it’s unlikely they considered the reality of handing President Donald Trump unprecedented executive powers.

Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” that Democrats’ move to shut down the government was a “mistake” because it gave him the authority to slash their pet projects without impunity. He’s got his eyes set on one multi-billion dollar project close to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s heart.

The government shutdown, dubbed the Schumer Shutdown, was triggered Oct. 1 when Democrats refused to vote for the funding bill unless Republicans gave in to demands to renew expiring premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act. Democrats seem to have acted shortsightedly, as their move gave Trump the executive power via impoundment authority to begin cutting left-wing programs funded by taxpayer money.

While speaking with Bartiromo about the Democrats’ “No Kings” protest in D.C., which Schumer is expected to attend and speak at, Trump announced that he will be cutting a $20 billion project that Schumer has fought to fund for years.

“Well, Chuck is, you know, at the end of the line. He’s being beaten by everybody that they poll against him,” Trump said. “And you know what he did is he did the right thing a couple of years ago on something like this. And he got hurt by his party. And it doesn’t … I don’t think it matters to him. I think he’s just so dead that he’ll do anything.”

“We’re cutting a $20 billion project that Schumer fought for 15 years to get, and I’m cutting the project. The project is gonna be dead. It’s just pretty much dead right now,” Trump added.

A post shared by Fox News (@foxnews)

The project Trump is referring to in the interview is the Gateway Program, according to Fox News.

Schumer has been fighting for the Gateway Program since at least 2012, following the cancellation of its predecessor, the Access to the Region’s Core (ARC) tunnel project, in October 2010. The program is a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure initiative aimed at expanding and modernizing rail capacity along a critical 10-mile segment of the Northeast Corridor (NEC) between Newark, New Jersey, and New York Penn Station. It primarily focuses on building new rail tunnels under the Hudson River to supplement the century-old North River Tunnels, replacing aging bridges such as the Portal Bridge over the Hackensack River, and enhancing Amtrak and NJ Transit services.

The project has been marred with setbacks due to unchecked government bloat, with costs ballooning far beyond initial estimates due to bureaucratic inefficiencies, over-engineering, and unnecessary add-ons. The project’s price tag has escalated from around $13.5 billion in 2011 to potentially $42 billion for full implementation, including elements such as Penn Station expansions that critics argue aren’t essential for core tunnel fixes.

Under the Biden administration, Schumer finally received the funding necessary in 2021 to push Gateway forward through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which gave billions for NEC upgrades. However, by 2025, tunneling still had not begun. When the “Schumer Shutdown” began, $18 billion was withheld due to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, with Trump declaring that the Hudson Tunnel Project had been terminated.

Democrats continue to hold the federal government hostage, leaving millions of Americans without federal support and government workers, like U.S. military members, without pay. But their move to give Trump unprecedented leverage allows him to eliminate unwanted left-wing programs, like Gateway. Targeting a project Schumer has been fighting for is a tactical move that ultimately highlights how Democrats’ stalling strategy allows Trump to force him and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries back to negotiations.

When a leading Democrat dreams of executing Republicans—and his party shrugs—it’s not politics anymore. It’s moral decay.

Virginia’s 2025 elections just exposed the Democratic Party’s rotten core.

Their Attorney General nominee, Jay Jones, sent texts in 2022 fantasizing about gunning down Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and slaughtering his family.

With Election Day closing in, Democrats aren’t just dodging the scandal—they’re doubling down, excusing or even cheering this sick rhetoric. This isn’t a party rejecting violence. It’s a party, embracing it.

Jones’ Bloodthirsty Texts

On October 5, 2025, National Review and the New York Post blew the lid off Jones’ depraved 2022 messages to Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner.

When former Virginia Delegate Joseph P. Johnson Jr., a Democrat, passed away in 2022, members of both parties in the Virginia General Assembly offered tributes honoring his life and service.

Jay Jones — then a Democratic state delegate himself — was furious that Republican leaders, including House Speaker Todd Gilbert, participated in those tributes. He apparently viewed their respectful remarks about Johnson as phony or opportunistic.

That anger spiraled into Jones’s violent text messages to GOP Delegate Carrie Coyner. He wrote:

“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot,” adding, “Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”

Jones mocked Gilbert’s kids as “little fascists” spawned by “evil” parents and, in a chilling call, fantasized about forcing Gilbert’s wife, Jennifer, to watch her children’s murders to “change his politics.”

Coyner begged, “Jay. Please stop.” Jones later whimpered an apology, claiming the texts “sickened” him. But it was too late—the mask was off.

Democrats’ Shameful Cover-Up

How did Virginia Democrats react? With gutless silence or outright defense.

The Virginia Beach Democrats had the gall to call Jones’ death threats “past mistakes” on October 5, preaching “let those without sin cast the first stone” while praising his “integrity.”

Integrity? For a man dreaming of executing kids?

Gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger called the texts “disgusting” but refused to ditch him, muttering some nonsense about “responsibility” instead.

Statewide Democrats? Mute, as Jones clings to a razor-thin race against Jason Miyares.

Worse, Jones’ hypocrisy continues to shine through.

A resurfaced post shows him slamming a GOP rival for a far tamer comment, sneering, “delete your account.” Yet, as The Washington Post confirmed on October 9, Democrats are “largely standing by” this unhinged thug.

They’re not just spineless—they’re complicit.

A Party Hooked on Violence

This isn’t a one-off. Democrats are increasingly cozy with political violence.

A September 2025 NPR/PBS/Marist poll shows 29% of Democrats—nearly identical to 31% of Republicans—say violence might be needed to “get the country back on track.”

But here’s the kicker: a Marquette Law School survey found 50% of Republicans call political violence a “very big problem,” while only 30% of Democrats agree.

Republicans see the danger; Democrats shrug it off, numb to the moral rot.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies reports left-wing attacks outpaced far-right ones in 2025, a first in decades. FactCheck.org counts dozens dead from political violence since 1990, with threats skyrocketing.

By propping up Jones, Democrats are handing out blank checks for bullets and body bags.

A Clear and Present Danger

Former President Trump nailed it on October 6, blasting Jones’ texts as “sick and depraved” and demanding he quit. Democrats? They’re too busy protecting their power-hungry pawn.

This isn’t just reckless—it’s a green light for lunatics.

Look at the September 10, 2025, assassination of conservative Charlie Kirk in Utah, part of a wave of thousands of FBI-tracked threats in 2024.

Jones’ fantasies of murdering a lawmaker’s family, coupled with Democrats’ cowardice, fuel the chaos. Virginia voters deserve warriors who crush violence, not radicals who dream it up.

Democrats coddling Jones aren’t just strategizing—they’re betraying America. Until they force his withdrawal, they’re not a political party. They’re accomplices to evil.

Republican Buys Dominion Voting Systems, Forces Them To Drop Lawsuits Against Conservatives

October 10, 2025/in Election Fraud, Elections, Government Transparency, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Technology, Voter REAL ID/by The Daily Caller

Dominion Voting systems has been acquired by founder and chairman of Liberty Vote Scott Leiendecker, in a deal which included dropping lawsuits against conservatives.

Leiendecker, former GOP election reform advocate, has officially become the sole owner of Dominion after making the deal contingent on dropping several remaining lawsuits against prominent conservatives and One America News Network (OANN).

Leiendecker further disclosed to the Caller that remaining litigation with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell will be dropped by Dominion Voting Systems as part of the acquisition agreement.

Dominion also filed a lawsuit against Herring Networks, which owns OANN, in August 2021. The lawsuit remained unresolved, though Leinendecker further confirmed that future litigation will be discontinued following the acquisition.

The Liberty Vote will be inheriting ongoing litigation with former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, the Daily Caller has learned.

The acquisition makes Dominion a fully American-owned company — a shift Leinendecker says is designed to strengthen public confidence, enhance transparency and rebuild trust in the integrity of U.S. elections.

— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) February 5, 2021

“Every legacy system is under review. Liberty Vote will be 100 percent American-owned, American-built and independently audited. We won’t ask for trust — we’ll earn it and prove it,” Leindecker told the Caller in a statement.

The election technology company is being marketed to champion reforms aimed at ensuring every American’s vote is secure and accurately counted, according to a press release.

Under its new leadership, Liberty Vote will move its operations entirely to the United States. The company says it is prioritizing election integrity by implementing third-party auditing standards, the same release added.

“Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections — one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up,” Leiendecker stated in the press release. “Liberty Vote is committed to delivering election technology that prioritizes paper-based transparency, security, and simplicity so that voters can be assured that every ballot is filled-in accurately and fairly counted.”

In addition, the company is prioritizing the use of hand-marked paper ballots to strengthen election security and compliance. This initiative aligns with President Donald Trump’s executive order titled, “Preserving And Protecting The Integrity Of American Elections,” which is designed to safeguard the electoral process and uphold federal standards.

Since the 2020 election, Dominion has launched several major defamation lawsuits, including a $1.3 billion case against Lindell, accusing him of spreading false claims about the company’s role during the 2020 presidential election to boost his pillow sales.
The company filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Powell over what Dominion described as “wild accusations” that it rigged the 2020 presidential election to secure a win for former President Joe Biden.

Dominion has also filed a separate $1.3 billion lawsuit against Giuliani — a close ally of Trump — alleging he repeatedly promoted baseless claims that Dominion rigged the election in favor of Biden.

Newsmax Media Inc. reached a $67 million settlement with Dominion in August in relation to its defamation lawsuit over the outlet’s alleged defamatory coverage of Dominion regarding the 2020 presidential election.

The company previously reached a $787.5 million settlement with Fox News who agreed to pay the voting software company in April 2023.

No Surprise in ‘Arctic Frost’ Scandal, as Every Dem President in 21st Century Has Weaponized the Government

October 9, 2025/in Communism, Courts & Law, Culture War, Election Fraud, Elections, Fake News, Lawfare, Marxism, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Regulation, Socialism, Techno-Fascism, Terrorism, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Family Research Council

Cries of “Worse than Watergate” quickly followed Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley’s (R-Iowa) revelation from a whistleblower within the FBI that eight Republican senators and a House GOPer had been illegally spied upon during the Biden administration’s failed prosecutions of then-former President Donald Trump.

Grassley called Arctic Frost “arguably worse than Watergate” during his opening remarks at an October 6 committee hearing, a cry that was quickly echoed by multiple GOP senators. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the emerging scandal during the hearing, and Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) warned that the FBI targets may well be “suing the hell out of the Department of Justice and the individuals involved.”

Subsequent investigation and revelations may indeed confirm that Arctic Frost was an even more profoundly serious constitutional violation than the Watergate scandal in which President Richard Nixon and members of his inner circle sought to cover up their knowledge of a “third-rate burglary” of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) at the Watergate Hotel during the 1972 election campaign.

But when viewed in a wider context, Arctic Frost should not come as a surprise to anybody for the simple reason that every Democratic president during the 21st century — including Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden — has weaponized tax and law enforcement resources of the federal government against Republicans, conservatives, and Christians.

During the Clinton era (1993-2001), the White House staff produced a 331-page report in 1995 entitled “The Communication Streams of Conspiracy Commerce” that argued multiple conservative political figures, think tanks, and media outlets were all part of a conspiracy to discredit the president. Then-First Lady Hillary Clinton famously described the groups as “a vast right-wing conspiracy.”

In the months after the report became public, multiple conservative groups, including most notably the Heritage Foundation think tank and Citizens Against Government Waste, found themselves being subjected to intense tax audits by the IRS. When no complaints about similar IRS audits were heard from liberal groups, the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation convened an investigation that led to passage by Congress in 1998 of the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act to prevent such abuses.

Barack Obama was the next Democrat elected to the Oval Office in 2008 and then re-elected in 2012. His administration also used the IRS against groups perceived to be political enemies, but rather than harassing audits, the tax agency found multiple ways to slow-walk tax-exemption applications submitted by conservative, Tea Party, and evangelical Christian groups.

The IRS effort was centered in its Cincinnati regional office, but direction came from the tax agency’s headquarters in the nation’s capital from then-IRS Exempt Organizations Director Lois Lerner. The scandal prompted multiple congressional hearings, and Lerner was found in contempt of Congress.

Then-House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrel Issa (R-Calif.) explained that “the Oversight Committee upheld its obligation to pursue the truth about the IRS targeting of Americans because of their political beliefs. Our investigation has found that former IRS Exempt Organizations division Director Lois Lerner played a central role in the targeting scandal and then failed to meet her legal obligations to answer questions after she waived her right not to testify.”

Lerner’s criminal contempt citation was upheld by the full House of Representatives and referred to the Department of Justice, which opted not to take Lerner to court in the matter.

Another Obama-era example of weaponization of government against perceived opposition could generate renewed attention as a result of Arctic Frost because it involved CIA agents breaking into the computer system of the Senate Intelligence Committee and spying on committee staffers.

Then-CIA Director John Brennan apologized to the committee after initially insisting no such illegal activities had taken place because doing so would be “beyond reason.” Senator Diane Feinstein, the California Democrat who chaired the intel panel, told the Senate after receiving Brennan’s apology that “the investigation confirmed what I said on the Senate floor in March — CIA personnel inappropriately searched Senate Intelligence Committee computers in violation of an agreement we had reached, and, I believe, in violation of the constitutional separation of powers.”

Not long after the Senate intel controversy, Brennan was deeply involved in the Obama administration’s manufacturing of false intelligence reports designed to discredit Trump after he defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. The false reports claimed Trump was elected in part with assistance from President Vladimir Putin and Russian intelligence assets.

According to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) in a July 23 news release:

“The ODNI records released on Friday, Senator Chuck Grassley’s release on Monday of the appendix to the DOJ OIG’s June 2018 report known as the ‘Clinton annex,’ and the HPSCI oversight report released today confirm a treasonous conspiracy led by President Obama and his national security team, including James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey, to manipulate and manufacture intelligence that promoted a contrived false narrative falsely claiming: ‘Putin aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances, when possible, by discrediting Secretary Clinton.’

“President Obama directed the creation of this January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment after President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, and it served as the basis for what was essentially a years-long coup against the duly elected President of the United States, subverting the will of the American people and attempting to delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency.”

A federal grand jury recently indicted Comey on two charges, one of lying to Congress and the other of obstructing a congressional investigation into matters related to the Trump-Russia allegations.

Obama was followed in 2020 by his former vice president, Joe Biden, whose four years in the Oval Office were marred by scandal after scandal in which the Department of Justice, the FBI, intelligence agencies, and other departments of government were turned against individuals and groups perceived by White House officials as opponents.

Those included multiple Republican and conservative organizations, including Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, prosecutions of Catholic pro-life demonstrators for praying in front of abortion facilities, investigations of parents protesting “woke” educational policies at public school board meetings, and the multiple prosecutions of Trump, including the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago, Florida, compound in which agents conspicuously went through Melania Trump’s underwear drawer in search of classified documents that weren’t there.

Now that Trump is back in the White House, Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) repeatedly blast the 47th president, as in this recent statement claiming “he has turned this judicial system to be his own political fighter, do what he wants politically, so that he tells them to go after people he doesn’t like, he tells them to exonerate people that he likes.”

Such assertions by Democrats in Congress, the mainstream media, the academic and corporate communities about Trump “weaponizing” the Department of Justice by investigating Arctic Frost should be viewed in the context of this background of politicized actions by every Democratic president of the 21st century.

More Than 350,000 Virginians Voted Before They Learned Jay Jones Is A Psychopath

Over 350,000 Virginians voted in the 2025 election prior to the news that Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones had endorsed political violence, according to early voting data.

News broke on Oct. 3 that Jones had sent text messages in 2022 to Republican House Delegate Carrie Coyner saying he would give former Republican Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert “two bullets to the head” and urinate on his grave. The text messages were first reported by National Review.

By that day, 359,379 early votes had already been cast, according to Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) data.

Comparatively, only 185,119 early votes had been cast early ahead of the 2021 statewide elections.

Just two days before Jones’ text messages endorsing political violence were made public, the Richmond-Times Dispatch revealed he had capitalized on a reckless driving charge by logging community service hours with his own political action committee (PAC), Meet Our Moment.

291,420 votes had already been cast by that point, more than double the 144,721 votes recorded at the same stage in the 2021 election.

Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) data that includes early in-person votes and returned mail ballots for the November 2025 election.

Although VPAP data doesn’t reveal the party affiliation of voters, it does compare turnout to each district’s partisan lean.

Meanwhile, Christopher Newport University’s Wason Center released its latest poll Monday on Virginia’s statewide races, showing that Democratic candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general continue to hold leads over Republicans, though their margins are narrowing.

The poll, conducted from September 29 to October 1 — before Jones’s controversial text messages were reported — found the attorney general’s race to be the closest of the three, with Democratic candidate Jay Jones leading incumbent Republican Jason Miyares by six points among likely Virginia voters, 49% to 43%, while 9% remained undecided.

Instead of taking accountability for his actions, it appears that my opponent submitted a letter to the Court stating that he performed 500 hours of ‘community service’ for his own PAC, which isn’t a charitable organization under state code, to dodge potential jail time.

It also shows Miyares with a +7 net favorability, as 31% view him favorably and 24% unfavorably. Jones’s net favorability is narrower at +2, with 28% favorable and 26% unfavorable.

Coyner — the same official with whom Jones exchanged the text messages fantasizing about shooting Gilbert and watching his children die — alleged in an interview Monday that Jones made other violent remarks about police officers.

According to Coyner, during a heated discussion about removing qualified immunity protections for officers, Jones suggested that the deaths of a few police officers might prevent them from killing civilians.
