Gaetz Gone
Yesterday the unexpected happened. Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration to lead the Justice Department. Apparently, after meeting with Republican senators, Gaetz believed he lacked enough support to be confirmed. In a way that is good news for Donald Trump who happens to be in a hurry. It is good news for the US Senate because they won't have to get bogged down in a process that would only end up with them bucking the new President and his mandate. It is also good news for Gaetz, because as some may not know, he resigned his position in the current House session only. He was recently reelected to the House and could now serve in the next House session.
It is bad news for the leftwing media which worked so diligently to leak and smear Gaetz only to have served in getting Trump to choose a much more qualified candidate, with no baggage and most likely will be a tough as nails AG for the US and Donald Trump. The new nominee is the former attorney general of Florida, Pam Bondi.
Pam Bondi
She is loyal to Donald Trump and the rule of law. She is currently co-chair of the law and justice division at the America First Policy Institute. Bondi served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011-2019, the first woman to hold the office. While Florida's AG she initiated the state’s litigation against opioid manufacturers as well as trying to ban dog racing in Florida. I expect her nomination to glide through the US Senate. I am hoping that she will take a good hard look at the malfeasance of the previous DOJ and clean house.
In other news:
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its former defense minister, Yoav Gallant, as part of its investigation into war crimes in Gaza. The court also issued a warrant for the arrest of Mohamed Deif, whom Israeli forces have already killed. Sen Lindsey Graham said: “The International Corrupt Criminal Court has acted in the most absurd and irresponsible manner possible by issuing arrest warrants against the Prime Minister and former Defense Minister of Israel while there is a serious cloud of allegations hanging over the prosecutor who sought these warrants.”
Vladimir Putin said Russia struck Ukraine with a new type of missile, one capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
Police officers in Trenton, N.J., systematically violated citizens' rights and needlessly escalate peaceful interactions into violence, a Justice Department report found. We shall see what Pam Bondi's DOJ thinks about that.
Chuck Schumer is desperately trying to confirm every radical judge that Joe Biden nominated before the current Senate session ends. Right now, they are 15 judge confirmations away from breaking Trump's record of appointing responsible justices.
In a recount, Senator Bob Casey, a three-term Pennsylvania Democrat, finally accepted the election results and conceded to Dave McCormack.
In California votes are still being counted. There they have a law which allows people who never signed their mail in ballots to sign them and resubmit them right up until early December. The daughter of Nancy Pelosi & friends are out with two lists trying to cure votes. One list is of the states registered democrats and the other is of those who hadn't signed ballots. Is it any wonder that it is almost impossible to beat democrats out there.
The House passed legislation that would let the government revoke the tax-exempt status of nonprofit groups it accuses of supporting terrorism.

Good morning
Zedan Racing Stables’ $3.2 million unraced 2-year-old colt, Barnes, is set to make his debut next Wednesday at Churchill Downs in a 5 ½-furlong maiden special weight contest for trainer Bob Baffert. This would mark Baffert’s first start beneath the Twin Spires since the end of his three-year suspension by Churchill Downs Incorporated in 2021.
Named in honor of Baffert’s longtime assistant Jimmy Barnes, the highly regarded Into Mischief colt is slated to break from post No. 3 under jockey Martin Garcia. Carded as Race 7 at 3:55 p.m., the race drew a field of 11 juveniles.
Bob Baffert To Debut $3.2 Million Colt In Return To Churchill Downs - Paulick Report | Latest news and commentary from the horse racing and equine world
Which leads to the age old question: Is it worth betting a lot to win a little?
bummer about gaetz, he was such a stellar example of the maga movement ...
.......one pedophile to another...
The message for Trump and Senate Republicans was clear.
As the Outfit's court jester used to say:
"It's time to get rid of your dirty laundry."
The idea that Trump could ever "get rid of dirty laundry" is contrary to reality. His entire life is a parade of dirty laundry, almost all of it heavily documented. You are wishful thinking.
He is rid of Matt Gaetz, though maybe not the same way that Lombardo would have liked.
The dirtiest laundry is visible in his mirror.
Maybe she will finally be able to uncover all the 2020 election fraud while in DC? Nawww... she'll be too busy gutting the DoJ and the FBI...
One can only hope and pray. Trump should give her a head start by firing all the DOJ officials & lawyers he can, as Obama did.
I really hope she's not just saying she wants to stop weaponizing the DoJ. We need her to prosecute as many rogue liberals as she can jam through the system.
If that is your philosophy, it is certainly mine as well.
It will make for fantastic television if they do it. Perhaps we'll finally see indictments on Obama, Clinton, Brennan and the rest of them.
sounds like the nightly news will be comprised of maga political retribution, maga political assassinations, and burning churches ... /s
They will start indicting, or at least talking about indicting, Democrats and the Liberals will take to the streets. That will in turn allow Trump to have protesters rounded up too. The question will then be how long can MAGA keep control?
Just saber rattling. These clowns have an arrest warrant out for Putin as well. Seeing their progress on that, I don't think Netanyahu has anything to worry about.
Why are we funding it?
That's a good question.
Those warrants are not enforceable in Israel and the U.S., but they could cause problems in certain countries making travel a problem for anyone named.
I really don't see Netanyahu or Putin having problems moving around.
Found that the "judge" that brought the "war crime" charges has had some sexual related complaints filed against him.
That is correct. Sen Graham has been emphasizing that point.
I'd avoid Belgium for sure.
I have read that some European leaders will arrest Netanyahu if he steps into their country.
These people are just as anti semetic as most of our leftist friends here.
He is also a Muslim that has a history of anti Israel rhetoric. Not surprising.
Looks like election interference. But, that's OK. Its a Democrat. /s
It is common practice in CA.
There are two still uncalled races out there with a separation of less than 400 votes in each.
It’s a crime these votes aren’t counted within by the next day.
It seems that democrats like voting by mail and very long elections.
Only when it can benefit them. Let Republicans do it and they lose their mind.
And why shouldn't they be paid back in kind?
Why?
This now almost daily column is nothing but far right pro Trump propaganda, regularly devoid of facts.
Like the endless Russian collusion? or good people on both sides? or the laptop was Russian disinformation? The difference is you can't prove any of this is lies while everything you believed was a lie.
How years of that did we have?
They listen to nonsense.
LOL. What do you know about Charlottesville other than what you were fed by right wing media? Or Russian collusion?
There was no "good people on both sides" at Charlottesville, there were white supremacists and those that opposed them. Those were the two sides. If you dispute that post your evidence.
Good to see you are consistent in believing the lie.
If you think there were good people on both sides of Charlottesville post your evidence or be quiet. It was a white supremacist event.
I didn't see him bring up Charlottesville. You did it again!
There was no "good people on both sides" at Charlottesville, there were white supremacists and those that opposed them. Those were the two sides. If you dispute that post your evidence.
FACT:
In a news conference after the rally protesting the planned removal of a Confederate statue, Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," referring to the protesters and the counter protesters. He said in the same statement he wasn't talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be "condemned totally."
No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists 'Very Fine People' | Snopes.com
Very consistent!
Another lie John. consistency is important when you want the lie to become the truth.
Who did he call "fine people on both sides" then ? One side was nothing but Nazis and white supremacists. If he wants to not be misinterpreted he should know what the fuck he is talking about. He did not want to offend his base, and that is why he made the "fine people" comments.
He said in the same statement he wasn't talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be "condemned totally."
What does it take John?
No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists 'Very Fine People' | Snopes.com
There were no fine people on the Nazi - white supremacist side. It was a known white supremacist march/ rally and no "fine people" showed up.
If you dispute this show your evidence. There are no "fine people" who say they took part in that event.
Trump was the president of the United States that day , and came on televison that afternoon and the first words out of his mouth were that both sides were to blame.
I have read all the relevant news stories about this. I doubt if you have read any.
The issue which was the pretext to all of it was statues.
And yes, there are good people on both sides of that issue.
You need to accept FACTS John.
Biden & Obama lied about it and the lefties lap it right up.
They want to believe it despite the FACTS.
Wow. just wow, once proven 100% wrong, you lie about the poster who has tried to educate you out of the goodness of his heart.
There is no record of any "fine people" being there that day. It was advertised as a white supremacist rally. The permit from the city was held by white supremacists. Yes the "pretense" was that there would be a protest over the Lee statue, but no "fine people" were there. Trump literally did not know what he was talking about.
Amazing that they hold on to a lie no matter how much evidence they have proving them wrong.
What is this, fucking absurdist comedy?
I hope it doesnt get me suspended, but you dont know what you are talking about.
Then how do you describe the young girl who was killed?
Trump literally did not know what he was talking about.
The issue Trump talked about was statues.
You are digging a very big hole for yourself. It was a media lie, and a smear and you still buy it.
How do you know this? Oh, that's right MSNBC said so.
CORRECT!
If you think there were "fine people" on the Unite The Right side, show some evidence. "Fine people" didnt go because they knew it was a white supremacist rally. It was very well known in that community.
You made the claim, you show the proof of your claim. You believe no one was there because of the left lunacy in taking down statues?
You made a comment about a poster here that was obviously a lie.
Vic, your comments are incompetent.
There were no fine people on both sides. If you think there were, prove it.
Trump's ignorance is not an excuse. Never during those days, or since for that matter, has Trump acknowledged that Charlottesville was a white supremacist event, even though that is literally what it was , and it was known at the time.
Really? He believes Charlottesville was a protest of a statue. That is not what it was.
Is that Latin for FACTUAL?
Trump condemned the people who were there in his initial statement, and you can't deny it. Even your friends are now hiding.
Just admit that you are wrong, and I'll pretend this never happened. How's that?
So now you have moved on from telling him what he does or doesn't know or read to claiming you know what he believes? that is amazing.
The Pinocchio Test
The evidence shows there were no quiet protesters against removing the statue that weekend. That’s just a figment of the president’s imagination. The militia groups were not spurred on by the Confederate statue controversy. They arrived in Charlottesville heavily armed and, by their own account, were prepared to use deadly force — because of a desire to insert themselves in a dangerous situation that, in effect, pitted them against the foes of white supremacists.
Trump earns Four Pinocchios.
The ‘very fine people’ at Charlottesville: Who were they? - The Washington Post
Has the Post apologized for that?
Trump has NEVER said that Charlottesville was a white supremacist/Nazi rally, which it clearly was. Why has been afraid to say that?
As far as you being factual about this, I don't see it.
And sadly, you never will.
Over and over, you've been hit with it:
He said in the same statement he wasn't talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be "condemned totally."
And still not even a dent.
‘Isn't it interesting how the definition of "misinformation" never seems to include anything from the left side of the aisle, no matter how daft it is?’
Or the endless ‘Trump is unfit to be president’ bullshit we have been hearing for years.
Tiresome, really
I do have it listed as an op-ed, but it also contains many more facts than one would find in any of the lefty posts on here.
I got suspended the last time I told you the truth, so I'm not sure that is allowed.
I'm responding to that comment, so nothing else will happen.
That's the problem with Republicans - too easy going.
Supposedly Ellen DeGeneres was one of the very few to make good on her promise to leave the US if Trump won the election.
The truth is much different:
Ellen DeGeneres left the US for the UK with her wife Portia de Rossi to begin her “retirement” right after her career collapsed because of allegations of creating a toxic workplace on her talk show. The couple reportedly settled in England after listing their Montecito mansion on the market in response to the results of the US elections 2024.
However, insiders now reveal that the two had already planned to leave the States behind long before Trump was declared victorious in the elections.
Real reason behind Ellen DeGeneres and wife's move to the UK unveiled
I guess it is a win-win for both countries. The US is rid of one lefty Trump-hater and England has Peter Pan back.
Wasn't she one of the ones that said she would leave in 2016? Either way. It's not like she'll be missed.
I prefer Mary Martin. She even had talent!
Who? the talk show host whose career ended because she was a bitch who abused her staff?
She had a vile tongue behind the scenes, didn't she?
It happens every election.. Rush Limbaugh said he would leave the country if Obama won...he never did.
S ecretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has refused to testify on threats to national security, according to the GOP-led Homeland Committee.
The tension between Mayorkas and Republicans centers around disagreements on immigration policy, border security and the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the migrant crisis on the southern border.
Mayorkas Refuses to Testify on Threats to Homeland
He is trying to leave immune from prosecution, but soon a little spitfire named Pam Bondi may be on the case of allowing the US to be invaded.
Somebody doesn't want to get his ass handed to him over his failures.
I think he should be subpoenaed.
Was he under subpoena? is anyone dumb enough to think that piece of shit Garland will treat him like Bannon?
Nope, but Pam Bondi can now use the Garland precedent.
The democrats don't understand that what they have done can now be used by all. It's going to trigger another whining session among them.
The only question now is whether we live up to a standard they have abandoned or punish them for what they have done.
Live up to the standard that they abandoned but keep reminding them of what they have done and what can happen.
That would be something to be admired. I don't know if I could do it.
It wouldn't be that hard to do. On the positive side, it would be fun to watch them squirm.
Does that mean congress people can officially ignore subpoenas?
Even if he was, so what? Jim Jordan has been under subpoena for 3 years...
To be filed under Irony:
I t took seven arrests, but an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who police say is linked to the Tren de Aragua gang has finally been jailed.
Brandon Simosa, 25, crossed the line after being charged with robbing a prosecutor who works in the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and then exposing his genitals in front of her, according to the New York Post .
Tren de Aragua Gangster Accused of Robbing One of Alvin Bragg's Assistant DAs
My money is that he'll be back out on the street before the end of the day. That seems to be the way Bragg's office works.
In the subway case in which the guy who saved people from a mentally ill drug addict, the good Samaritan is facing 19 years in jail.
So, I was wrong. I did just see that this POS will be held without bail.
Yesterday on CNN, I heard a commentator describe the crazy guy who scared the shit out of everyone on the train, as "a brown man simply looking for something to eat."
CNN and injecting stupid stuff like race. They go hand in hand.
They learned it at college. The oppressors and the oppressed. Mommy and daddy paid for them to learn that shit.
Pathologist disputes finding that Marine veteran's chokehold caused subway rider's death
That, or he will be the one criminal they actually prosecute because he robbed a member of HIS team, and not some lowly civilian.
I think you're correct. He was arrested and let loose several times before breaking in to a Bragg team member house.
We always knew it would take the crime to hit them personally before something gets done.
J ose Ibarra, the illegal immigrant and Tren de Aragua gang member accused of viciously murdering 22-year-old coed Laken Reilly, was found guilty of all charges in an Athens, Georgia courtroom Monday.
Judge Patrick Haggard handed down the guilty verdicts on a range of charges, returning to the bench just 19 minutes after the prosecution and defense presented their closing arguments.
Illegal migrant Jose Ibarra found guilty of all charges in murder of Laken Riley
It took 19 minutes.
Should Reilly's family now press charges against Mayorkas?
Since a really good lie never dies, can we claim that 2 white trump supporters wearing MAGA hats attacked Smollett since his conviction was overturned?
He still maintains his lie, but the ruling by the state of Illinois actually mentions that he was guilty of staging a false hate crime. They are overturning it because Kim Fox made a deal with the defense team to get him off the hook. You may remember Michelle Obama getting involved.
At least the white-hating son of a bitch spent 6 days in jail.
I don't think any self-respecting actor would work with him. Not that anybody knew who he was to begin with.
How many are there?
After the election...not many.
Supposedly they are all leaving the country.
I suppose the good news for them is that Trump can't run again.
Btw did anyone catch Special Report last night?
Bret Baier had Peggy Noonan on as a special guest. I thought she explained the past election beautifully, as only the woman of words could do:
BAIER: I read your column every week, and you, like our late colleague Charles Krauthammer have this ability to cut through the noise of the moment and get to the heart of the issue. This book is filled with all kinds of essays and columns, but it is -- I wanted to talk to about the moment that we're in now and where America is right now after this election. How do you see it?
NOONAN: I've been thinking a lot about this. We all sense we are in a big historical moment. I'm so sorry. We all sense we are in the middle of something very big, a kind of hinge moment, I think. I have been thinking a lot -- about it a lot, as you have. And I have a feeling that people are thinking that they don't really like all that they have seen of the 21st century, and they had a sense that Mr. Trump didn't like it either. That's why they elected him twice. And more than half the country, I think, is just in a major pushback against the establishment.
Peggy Noonan: People Are Not Liking All That See In The 21st Century, That's Why They Elected Trump Twice | Video | RealClearPolitics
Peggy Noonan is a hack. Her being able to string together words doesnt change that.
Nope, we didn't like much of what we saw in the 21st century.
Prepare yourself for the return of decency
LOL!!!!
