Omar Case Becomes a Circus; Enter the Clown
Timothy Birdnow
Boasberg to the rescue!
Yes, our old friend James Boasberg is now in charge of the case of Ilhan Omar. FTA:
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWChief Judge James Boasberg is overseeing requests to unseal the warrant used to search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington home.The warrant dispute comes amid two federal investigations involving Omar’s financial disclosures and allegations concerning her father’s immigration paperwork.The Justice Department argues that releasing the warrant could compromise the investigation because officials are still executing it.Omar’s attorneys are demanding the return of seized property and allege that agents violated protections covering her congressional work.
I am certain Boasberg will find something wrong with the warrants and will annul them, meaning any and all evidence the government has collected will be dismissed.
Bozoberg the Clown is going to keep abusing his authority like that judge down in Brazil for the rest of his natural life.

Pope to Vote by Mail-In
Timothy Birdnow
Betcha hes going to vote straight Democratic ticket:
This is just wrong; he's never coming back to America, except maybe to visit. He's a citizen of the Papal State now, not the United States, and his citizenship should be stripped from him. Now he's jst being given an illegal vote.
In addition to having dual citizenship this particular Pontiff holds citizenship in Peru, making him a triple citizen. The Founders would never have allowed this sort of craziness.
Catholic News quotes 8US Code 1482:
According to U.S. federal law — specifically 8 U.S. Code § 1481 — a U.S. citizen may lose their citizenship under specific conditions, including "accepting a position as a foreign head of state,” as Paul Hunker, an American immigration attorney and Catholic, explained to CNA. However, the law requires that such actions be taken "voluntarily and with the intention of relinquishing their U.S. nationality.”
There is nothing more voluntary than taking a position as head of state AND moving there permanently, with the intention of living in the Papal Mansion the rest of your life. Taking the job means relinquishing your citizenship voluntarily. This is different than taking another Vatican job with the intention of going home eventually; the Papacy is a lifelong career, not a temp job.
The article continues:
Hunker said that for Pope Leo to lose his U.S. citizenship, he would need to affirm his intent to renounce it directly to a U.S. consular officer in Rome, which he has not done. "I think unless he comes forward and says, ‘I have the intention of relinquishing my U.S. nationality,’ then he is not considered to have lost his U.S. citizenship,” Hunker told CNA.
The U.S. State Department generally assumes that citizens, even those accepting foreign government roles, intend to keep their U.S. citizenship unless they clearly express otherwise. This assumption could apply to Pope Leo XIV, as he has not signaled an intention to renounce his nationality. Still, the State Department reserves the right to review cases of U.S. nationals serving as foreign heads of state, as such cases "raise complex questions of international law,” the Washington Post reported.
Custom says the Pope has to renounce his American citizenship, but that is custom and it's time to deal with this. He should lose it - he's no longer an American in any way, shape, or form and should not be treated as one. Certainly he should not have the right to vote.

Brazil; Socialist Utopia
Timothy Birdnow
Glenn Greenwald is an American liberal lawyer and journalist living in Brazil. He had this to say on X about what is happening there.
CRUCIAL FACTS ON THE FLAVIO BOLSONARO MATTER:
It’s not just Flavio Bolsonaro who fled Brazil to escape the tyrannical persecution of Alexandre de Moraes and the pro-Lula wing of the Supreme Court. There are dozens of Brazilian exiles who have done the same: dissident journalists, activists, bloggers, and politicians who all fled to avoid certain prison for political opposition.
In most of these cases, Moraes has demanded the extradition of those who fled and whom he wants to imprison back in Brazil. But Moraes’ extradition requests have been repeatedly denied by multiple countries and institutions on the grounds that these prosecutions are politically motivated or otherwise corrupted. Among those concluing this: Spain, Italy, INTERPOL, and even the US under Biden.
Just today, Italy refused Brazil’s demand to extradite a person named @edutagli, who was once a top aide to Moraes, but then fled to Italy after Moraes accused him of having been my source in a huge leak from Moraes’ office that I obtained for reporting I did with @Folha in 2024. That massive leak enabled us to publish roughly 20 articles proving systemic abuses of power by Moraes against his political enemies: exactly the reason so many Brazilians, including Bolsonaro, know they can’t get a fair trial in Brazil.
Italy today refused to extradite the person accused of being our source on the grounds that the proceedings would be a farce because Moraes — as he so often does — wants to act as the supposed victim, investigator, and judge, and thus his demand falls well outside of Italy’s extradition standards. Again, multiple countries have concluded the same, showing what a farce Brazil’s once-respected judicial system has become under the Lula/Moraes regime.
Moraes has overseen a system of political persecution masquerading as criminal justice that has been recognized as a sham by multiple countries that are not exactly Bolsonaro allies. Nobody in their right mind who is a political enemy of Moraes would remain in Brazil once if it is clear that he intends to imprison you, since he has proven that guilt is a foregone conclusion and he operates with no legal or constitutional limits of any kind.
That is why asylum under international law exists: to protect those who cannot obtain justice in their own country because the justice system has been corrupted and commandeered for political persecution. Many people, such as Julian Assange, have needed that protection (which Lula cheered). Now people need it from Moraes in Brazil. That is sadly one of the main legacies of both Lula and Moraes over the last six years.

Patrick Stewart RIP
Timothy Birdnow
British turned American actor Patrick Stewart, best known for his role as the Captain on the Star Trek reboot "Next Generation" has passed away. He was 86 years old.
He apparently died of Alzheimer's and something called Lewy Body Dementia, which is a term that covers a range of illnesses including Parkinson's.
I find his death from Alzheimer's ironic in that he starred in a movie called Safehouse in which he played an ex-spy who was hiding from his former boss, a man running for President. His old team was dying one by one, so Stewart's character turned his L.A. home into a fortress. But he's developing dementia and his daughter hires a live-in nurse (played by actress Kimberly Williams) over Stewart's objections. The dementia is a critical part of the story; I won't tell you how it ends in case you want to see it. It was a very good movie.
At any rate Stewart, a self-avowed socialist, is now at room temperature.
Stewart was best known for his role on Star Trek, and also for his portrayal of Charles xavier in the X men movies. He began as a Shakespearean stage actor but eventually moved to television, where he appeared in I Claudius, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Fall of Eagles. He played Captain Ahab in a remake of Moby Dick, Ebeneazer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, and Henry II in The Lion in Winter. He hosted the documentary When the Lion Roars about MGM Studios (which my mother had on vhs.)
He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 2010.
Anyway Stewart was heavily involved in domestic abuse prevention, since his father, a WWII war hero with PTSD, used to beat his mother. He was also an avowed atheist, so one must fear for him as his final destination is likely to be unpleasant.
So say a prayer or two for him. Now, we have to wonder who the next two will be.

How the Grinch Stole the Election
Timothy Birdnow
This is what they pulled in Detroit in 2020, when windows were blocked.
From the article:
Daniel Baxter, Detroit’s top election official, made a general announcement to the room, suggesting it was a good time to take a break as election workers sorted through "military” ballots.
Republicans had a room on another floor where food, snacks, and tables and chairs were available. Democrat poll challengers and outside agitators somehow knew to stay in the room. They had already commandeered the only available tables and chairs in the counting room. Their pizza boxes were later used to block the view of Republican poll challengers.
Republican poll challengers were locked out of the room where an almost exclusively Democratic paid election workforce counted 170K+ absentee ballots from the November 2020 election. COVID, they said.
Democrat poll challengers and election workers began covering the windows with a stack of large sheets of white cardboard. Much like the stacks of strategically placed bricks appeared in cities around America during Obama’s race riots, the cardboard and tape just happened to be at the front of the room, ready to cover the only windows into the counting room.
So the GOP, in their usual dim-witted way, trusted the Democrats. Nobody thought to break down the door when it was locked, and of course they didn't keep a few Republicans in the room just in case. Like always the GOP showed itself to be Keystone Cops.
Jocelyn Benson, Michigan's Secretary of State and a member of the board of the Southern Poverty Law Center then told a bald-faced lie about why the windows were covered "they were being broken". Well, the GoP should have broken them and pushed their way in. I'm sure the Republican National Committee could spare some money to replace the broken window.
Union thugs who were not poll workers were present to act as enforcers.
But wait! There's more!
One election official looked up the voter to see if they were in the QVF or Qualified Voter Files. If the voter wasn’t found in the QVF, the election worker looked them up in the Supplemental poll book (used to record same-day registrants). If the voter wasn’t found in either poll book, the election worker entered a registration date of 1-1-1900 to override the system and automatically register them to vote. Previously, poll challengers were told election workers entered a birth date to override the system and allow them to process ballots for "military voters” who couldn’t be found in the qualified voter files, but we have since discovered it was, instead, a registration date. Several GOP poll challengers testified that they saw this happen at counting boards across the room.
Once the voter was "entered” into the system, one of the workers would hold up the ballot (which, in my case, looked like a ballot on a piece of fax paper) and read off the name of each candidate the "voter” chose, and the other election worker would fill out a new ballot that could be put through the tabulator, since the "military” ballots were not on official paper.
So basically anyone who showed up got put through the system without any vetting whatsoever. Cute trick.
Most GOP poll challengers reported on affidavits that the "military” voters they watched being processed voted either straight-ticket Democratic Party or for Joe Biden. Typically, military voters vote Republican. According to Pew Research, in the 2024 election, about 61% of veteran registered voters supported Trump (vs. 37% for Harris). Similar margins appeared in 2020 (~60% Trump) and 2016 (~61% Trump).
And here is the kicker:
Only 746 UOCAVA ballots were cast in the November 2020 election.Of that number, only 132 "MILITARY” UOCAVA Overseas ballots were cast.616 CIVILIAN UOCAVA Overseas ballots were cast.Only 125 have accompanying envelopes24 of the 125 absentee envelopes were sent to Detroit addresses, not overseas.So, if there were only 132 "military” ballots, where did the thousands of ballots in the postal trays election officials called "military” ballots come from?
There is much more to this article; I just gave a few highlights. The Democrats ran a massive vote fraud mill and got away with it. George Soros really knew what he was doing when he started his Secretary of State Project; control who counts the votes and you own the country.
Cheating monsters; they disenfranchised the military people, people fighting to keep us all safe. There is no more vile action that that in politics.

General Disgrace
Timothy Birdnow
An Army general whom the Trump Administration fired was leaking secrets and has since admitted to it.
Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia admitted to leaking classified information on numerous topics, especially the Iran and Russo-Ukrainian wars. He was fired for "severe misconduct". He has also been referred for prosecution.
Sylvia was leaking to reporters, one of whom had his White House credentials revoked.
Mow, this guy was near the top of his profession, and there is no reason a man like this should not have been weeded out long before he got so plum a position.
A little about him. First, he's my homie; he grew up in St. Charles Mo., where all the people I grew up with moved when North ST. Louis County turned into ghetto. Second, he has an illustrious career; he was the Commander of the elite 101st Airborn (my father's old outfit) before that he was commander of Ft. Campbell, and he fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. He had a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, Army Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal,
Legion of Meritand, a host of other medals. On paper he looked good. He finished his career as director of Strategy, Plans, and Policy at the Chief Joints, er, Joint Chiefs.
But it was clear there was a leak in the Joint Chiefs, and Sylvia failed three separate polygraph tests, leading Pete Hegseth no choice but to fire him.
So why was he leaking? My guess is he disagreed with the policies of the Trump Administration and wanted to undercut them. I would add that most "North County Boys" and someone from St. Charles would qualify for that, are blue collar Democrats. My family was the exception and there were a few other Conservatives around, but most were loyal to the jackass.
I bet Sylvia was one such, even though he was appointed head of the 101st during the Trump Administration then promoted. He owed his success to the Republicans.
What this shows is that the military was hopelessly corrupted at the top levels and has been for some time now. This guy was either corrupt from the beginning (and his superiors should have figured that out) or he became corrupt as a result of the woke military culture that blossomed during the Obiden eras.
He should go to prison for this; it cannot be tolerated. Since he is no longer on active duty (he retired recently) he will have to face the more lenient civilian courts rather than a court-martial. Too bad.
How could we win a war with scumbags like this?
BTW t Hegseth's rule that journalists had to be accompanied undoubtedly tied in with this, and Sylvia got around that by just meeting the journalists outside the building.
And then there is this juicy tidbit involving Sylvia's son:
Laura Loomer:
NEW:
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth
has fired Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia.
You’ll recall that after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, I exposed Gavin Sylvia, a he/him data analyst at @fema, for celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Following my report, Gavin Sylvia was placed on administrative leave.
Gavin Sylvia is the son of Brett Sylvia.
Senior Pentagon official tells me:
"Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, who was part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired by Secretary Hegseth for severe misconduct…Sylvia is the subject of an investigation for leaking classified information about the Iran War, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and more. Due to the Pentagon’s media policy requiring journalists to have escorts in the building, Sylvia began meeting with journalists outside of the Pentagon in order to leak classified information.”
Senior Pentagon official also told me,
"Sylvia failed three polygraphs which questioned him about leaking classified information. The investigation into him remains ongoing and has been referred to the Department of Justice for further action. The extent of his leaking became so critical that Secretary Hegseth took immediate action and fired Sylvia in order to protect national security.”
I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
end
So the Sylvia family appears to be good little neo-Marxists who have reason to wish the current administration ill.
This is a wild story and it may get even wilder as we learn what Sylvia leaked and to whom he leaked it.
Developing.

Fugaze Dan Sullivan
Timothy Birdnow
Well, well, well. Up yonder in the Great White North Decoy Dan Sullivan is now refusing to go under oath and testify that he just ran of his own accord as he has been claiming.
Only one reason not to agree to sworn testimony - he's lying.
Sullivan, a lifelong Democrat, ran as a Republican in an attempt to unseat Sen. Dan Sullivan, and since Alaska has ranked choice voting his name appears on the ballot along with the Real Dan Sullivan and their mutual Democrat opponent.
The New York Times, hardly a lover of Republicans, ran a story which cited no fewer than 12 sources, all of whom claimed there was a conscious plot by the campaign of Mary Peltola to find and recruit a Democrat named Dan Sullivan precisely to trick voters and split the vote, handing Peltola the victory. It is politics at it's nastiest.
The DOJ plans to sue to nullify the election results of the real Dan Sullivan loses.
Mary Peltola denies any knowledge of this, naturally.
According to the NY Times, a midwestern operative went around Alaska, deep into the backwoods towns, and bought beer for anyone named Dan Sullivan where they tried to recruit said fugaze Dan to "run" for the Senate. The faux Dan Sullivan did not even campaign; he just needed to have his name on the ballot.
Fake Sullivan is Daniel J. and the incumbent is Daniel S. Fake Sullivan was going around calling himself Daniel S. Sullivan and tried to get himself listed on the ballot that way, even though his middle initial is not S.
Democrats are such cheaters.

The Rebs
Timothy Birdnow
Isn't this illegal? If so, there should be warrants for the arrest of local mayors and town councilmen.
I thought the Civil War ended the idea of state nullification once and for all.
John C. Calhoun would be proud - and so too would the guys who fired on Ft. Sumpter.

Non-Citizen Voting Bleeds into State and Federal Elections
Timothy Birdnow
A quarter of all of Cheverly Maryland's non-citizen voters voted inn the Federal elections, according to the ACLJ
So claims that local ordinances allowing non-citizens to vote are in fact a dirty trick to elect more Democrats at the federal and state levels and not just for school boards or town councilmen.
From the article:
The American Accountability Foundation requested the records of that supplemental registry on October 17, 2025, under the Maryland Public Information Act. Cheverly acknowledged the request. Then it produced nothing. Eight months passed. Follow-up inquiries went unanswered. No documents arrived. Then the American Accountability Foundation asked the ACLJ to get involved, and we filed a lawsuit.
Last week, the town turned over the "Non-citizen" Voter Registry, containing the names and addresses of 98 individuals.
The ACLJ then conducted an extensive review of the names and addresses on this supplemental "Non-citizen" Voter Registry, cross-checking them against publicly available voter data. The results of our investigation show that at least 25% of the names (including matching addresses) voted in what are listed as federal and statewide elections between 2020 and 2024 (no local elections were held on the same day as federal elections those years). Additionally, at least eight of these voters appear to have also voted in federal elections BEFORE this supplemental list was created by ordinance – going back to 2016 presidential election. The ordinance expressly states that individuals on the county's state and federal rolls should not be on this supplemental list. Because the "non-citizen" supplemental voter registry is not supposed to include individuals registered to vote in federal elections, no one on this list, logically and legally speaking, should be able to vote in a federal election.
So total numbers are not all that much but just the fact that they are voting in the general proves a point; the whole reason communities have been allowing aliens to vote at all is so that they can get them to vote for state and federal offices. This is just one community and no doubt it is true in every community that allows non-citizen voting.
The Democrats built a machine, a nationwide machine to steal elections. Without it they would have slidden into a clear minority and would be there today. But they didn't worry about radicalizing because they figured they could just steal elections no matter who they put up there.
They didn't count on Trump's election and the sheer number of people who voted for him; we overwhelmed the fraud machine. But despite efforts to expose this stuff and prosecute it the Democrats are still gearing up to steal this off-mid-term election.
Next week we will see how much progress has been made against the fraud machine. Democrats are very good at changing up their fraud tactics and we are usually fighting the last war.

Cal. Federal Judge Attacks DOJ for Looking into Illegal Alien Voters
Timothy Birdnow
California has 20,000 illegal aliens on the voter rolls and a judge isn't going to put up with it anymore, so he is targeting the Department of Justice for it!
Instead of looking into California for not vetting their votters this judge is going after the Feds for daring to look into it.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, a Clinton appointee, has appointed a special "master" to look into this. He refuses to take action to segregate and disallow these bogus voters.
Carter has always been an activist. He forced an Orange County public school to allow a Gay Straight Alliance club on campus in 2000, well before this stuff was big.
He presided over the case of Anna Nichole Smith against the children of her late husband over the estate. His ruling, which gave Smith the lion's share of the estate, was vacated by a higher court since he had no jurisdiction in Texas.
He dismissed the case Barnett v. Obama in which Barnett challenged Obama's qualifications for being President because of lack of clarity over his being a natural born citizen and he did so solely on the basis that the judiciary cannot remove a sitting President. That is remedy, not judgement. The court could have heard the case and issued a judgement but left it for Congress to remove the President. But he didn't do it.
He forced a deal on Orange county when they broke up a tent city of homeless and made the county put them up in hotels for months, damaging the hotels in the process. He had a lot of homeless cases and always forced the community to house them. He was removed from one case for bias on the matter.
I could go on but you get the point; this guy is an activist and always has been.
Now he's going to screw Californians and America by letting 20,000 illegals vote. What a jackass.

Dems Preparing to Cause Chaos at Polls
Timothy Birdnow
I thought the Democrats were worried about voter suppression by intimidating them.
If you were worried about voters being intimidated wouldn't you try to send FEWER people to the polls, not more?
The only reason they are doing this is to have people at the polls to sow chaos, to cause trouble, to claim fake violations by the DOJ observers. This shows there is going to be massive trouble on election night across the country. There will be lies about the observers. There will be people yelling and screaming and in the chaos the Democrats hope to be able to keep polls open or do other dastardly things.
Beware.

Beat it COPpers!
Timothy Birdnow
So THIS is why I've been fighting with so many Gang Green trolls!
Globalists’ Climate Grift Returns In Full Force
The Facebook groups I belong to that deal with climate have been overflowing with argumentative people promoting the alarmist view and I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest as a result. It's been frankly wearing me out.
Now I know why; they ARE paid trolls as I've been saying. Most of them have nothing but the climate groups on their pages. No friends, nothing else. That is the mark of a troll.
We know, too, that the Gang Green pays people to troll; it's what the Left does in general. Our side has to rely on unpaid volunteers such as myself.
Anyway Craig Rucker gives us a rundown of what is happening with COP 31, the 31st Woodstock of Climate Kooks, this time to be held in Turkey, because as we all know Turkey emits no carbon dioxide and thus is sorely grieved by our careless exhalation.
This current crop at COP will be about implementing the Gang-Greenous policies. It will include:
Dynamic and resilient health systems (running on expensive, unreliable wind, solar, and backup power)Recycling materials of every description (they prefer the term "circularity”)
Resilient, sustainable food policies (to restrict meat consumption and use of nitrogen fertilizers, biotech crops, and even tractors)[Note from Tim; that will mean eating bugs are weeds.]
Youth education (indoctrination and fearmongering, instilling fervent activism alongside the belief that they have no future)
Craig is right and this will be yet another bloviating batch of blather yet it will be praised as forward thinking and hailed as the model that we must implement. Sadly, they have been building an army around the globe that is currently implementing just this sort of stuff, that is promoting U.N. Agenda 21/30 even now. You can see it with bike trails on city streets, with more open spaces and taller apartment buildings etc. They have been quietly gaining ground on us.
The U.N. itself admits it is making great strides in implementing its socialist utopian goals. And implementing the Paris Accords to "save the planet" from a nebulous "climate change" is high on their list of priorities - and that means creating a world governing body to enforce agreed on limits and it also means eliminating free market capitalism.
Craig Rucker realizes all this and does a fine job pointing it out.
At any rate I knew something was in the wind. It's good to finally know what it is.

Consumer Confidence Rising
Timothy Birdnow
Just in time for the elections. Thank God!
FTA
The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index increased to 91.7 this month from an upwardly revised 84.2 in September.
The question is, was consumer confidence being reported intentionally as low to damage Trump and the GOP? Like all polls, we suddenly find a surge in confidence just before the election. Color me skeptical.
There is all kinds of good economic news. Yes, the price of gas is a big issue, and everyone wanted there to be deflation, to have prices drop, something that just wasn't happening. Wages need to increase. Deflation is a terribly destructive thing, but few understand it since we haven't had deflation since the early days of the 20th century. But if we can get wages rising (and they are) inflated prices will be more affordable.
I think the Democrats are going to suffer in this upcoming election - no blue wave. Hopefully no wave at all. Let us pray it is so.

Gobsmacked!
Timothy Birdnow
The Catholic Church has degenerated into a clown circus.
RedState - Leading conservative site covering news, politics, and culture with analysis and commentary
White House Fires Back After Catholic Archbishop Apologizes for Praying With President Trump
Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey "money" Grob repented of visiting President Trump for insufficient reason and the President pushed back in his inimitable way.
Grob and some others had gone to the White House to nag the President about not letting enough illegal aliens in. They then prayed with him.
Grob and the other liberal redcoats are mad Trump used a photo of them praying without asking their permission (as if he needed it in his own home.)
Here is the ridiculously long "apology" letter from Grob. Here is a snippet:
So, following a 90-minute discussion with White House domestic policy staff and advisors, we were eventually ushered into the Oval Office. The president greeted us, took a seat at his desk and presented us with commemorative tokens. We were then directed to stand behind him and pray. After which several photos were taken and we were ushered out. Unbeknownst to the group of bishops a video was also taken. But permission for the public distribution or posting of either the video or photos was not given by the bishops.It did not take long thereafter for the White House to post a video and photos of the prayer. I soon began receiving messages of serious concern over the possibility that I had inadvertently participated in a political event less than two weeks before a national election. I also heard from some who felt wounded because of the ways they or their family had been harmed by the president’s policies.
I feel a heavy sadness, not only over the pain I caused, but also for the fact that something so sacred to a group of religious leaders, prayer to our Heavenly Father, would be manipulated in that way. We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president, not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few. We should never have been put in that position by the White House.
What did they think would happen? EVERYTHING in the White House is filmed.
(BTW heavy sadness often accompanies heavy drinking. One wonders if he is partaking of too much Old Milwaukee.)
And they should be pleased the President posted it because it encourages prayer and gives the Catholic Church good publicity. The only reason to be unhappy is because they hate the President's policies and his Administration. It is Grob and others who are making an issue of this, which means it is they who have politicized it. Praying with Bishops is hardly something promoting a political agenda on the President's side.
The Red State article quotes the Administration courtesy of Fox News:
"There has never been a greater president for Catholic Americans than President Trump," Rogers said, citing the president's efforts to stop the federal government's "weaponization" of its agencies against Christians, pardon pro-life activists, and defend religious freedom.
Denver Archbishop James Golka, who joined Grob in praying over President Trump, has an entirely different approach, saying, "We pray for people. No matter whether we agree or disagree on anything, we always pray for our country and leaders."
That is exactly right; the Trump Administration has protected Catholics all along, while the Biden Administration weaponized the DOJ against them (and so too did the Obama Administration.) But the Bishops are angry because Trump stopped the flow of illegal aliens, something the Church counted on to refill their coffers (since most were Catholics) and they are now in a position to actually evangelize rather than live off the fat of the land. They are also mad he shut down USAID, which helped fund the immigration machine which Catholic Charities suckled off of and then organized the invasion of America.
So Gob now apologizes for meeting with a world leader, something the Church has long done, and for being photographed. Oh, he writes from Latin America while he's at it, to show where his allegiance lies. It isn't with his own archdiocese.
(BTW that's why I am rooting for the Rays over the Brewers, but it looks like a forlorn hope.)
Gob should lay off the beer that made Milwaukee famous.

Neck and Neck in Israel
Timothy Birdnow
Benjamin Netanyahu is declaring victory in the Israeli elections as an overnight surge in his ballot numbers seem to suggest he and the right wing in Israel have won.
Bebe is the rock upon which our hopes of ultimate peace lay, and if he were to be removed everything would come crashing down; Hamas would launch major counterstrikes knowing Israel would use "proportionality" in their response, and Iran would become more active again.
We desperately need him to remain as Prime Minister.
Not everyone agrees:
Channel 12’s revised exit poll projected 52 seats for Netanyahu’s bloc, 50 for the Jewish-led opposition, and 18 for Arab parties. Channel 13 and public broadcaster Kan each projected a 51-51 tie between the two principal blocs, with Arab parties holding the remaining 18 seats.
But the wind appears to be at Netanyahu's back. Let us hope and pray he takes the majority and can take the actions necessary to protect his own country and protect the rest of us by taking the heat.
Right now Western Civilization is hanging by a thread and any one loss of a "MAGA" leader, be they in Israel or anywhere else, imperils the survival of our entire civilization. Bebe is the bedrock in the Middle East and the survival of Israel is inextricably tied to the survival of us all Oh, there will be a "west" small w but it will not be Western Civilization anymore. It will be something alien and evil. Right now each and every election is critical to us all.
So let's pray the Left doesn't steal the election from Netanyahu. We need him more than we know.

The Tears of a Clown
Timothy Birdnow
Cue the tiniest violin:
From the New York Pest:
WASHINGTON – Former FBI official Nikki Floris broke down in tears outside a federal courtroom Tuesday during a preliminary hearing on charges that she and another ex-bureau official lied to Congress about burying the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Floris was seen weeping in a courthouse hallway during a break in the probable cause hearing in the district court for Washington, DC.
She and fellow former FBI official, Bradley Benavides, self-surrendered last week and face up to five years in prison if convicted of lying to the House Judiciary Committee in 2023 about their involvement in discrediting stories about the troubled first son.
When a plot against the king or emperor fails the plotters usually get to enjoy the loss of their heads. All this broad is facing is five years in the slammer and she's crying about it. Look at what happened to Brutus.
She knew what she was doing was wrong, but she chose to do it because she thought the Democrats would be the winning side. She thought wrong and she has to pay for her crime, and it WAS a crime, no matter her motives.
So cry me a river, but it isn't and shouldn't matter. This chick deserves to be in prison. She attempted to subvert the elections - the bedrock of the American political system - and she made war on the truth. That cannot go unpunished.
Rest assured; if it had worked she would still be working for the government and she would be all smiles now. She is only unhappy because she got caught and is facing the penalty.
Unnfortunatly this is a D.C. judge and the two FBI agents are claiming they don't remember the multiple e-mails they shared discussing the case. Their attorney also characterized this as a witch hunt because Kash Patel ordered an agent to look for crimes - something unusual, since the FBI has been protecting it's own for decades now.
So there is a real chance this pair will walk away free. But let us hope the judge throws the book at them. They lied to Congress. They lied to America. They were busy with the media concocting lies about the Hunter Biden laptop when they clearly knew better. A fair jury trial would convict them.
So ball all you want little girl; you still belong in prison.

Dems Demand Truce over Omar
Timothy Birdnow
But the investigation started under Joe Biden.
Did the Democrats show any such compassion to Republicans over the years? Ted Stevens up in Alaska? Long Island rep. George Santos? Paul Gosar of Arizona? Chuck Edwards of North Carolina? How about Ken Paxton, who they tried to remove from office? Todd Akin, who was not charged with any crime but was Borked by the Democrats anyway. How about Bork? Kavanaugh? How about the President himself, who they investigated endlessly and impeached twice. But now they think Trump should call off the DOJ because they fear losing an election if it continues now.
NOW they want a truce!
From the article:
Nearly 200 House Democrats are moving to shield Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from further investigation after federal investigators raided her Washington, D.C., home earlier this month.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., led 175 members of the House Democratic Caucus in a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Attorney General Todd Blanche, criticizing the probe into Omar's immigration history as a partisan attack and accusing them of trying to sway her bid for another term in Congress.
"Congresswoman Omar is seeking reelection in Minnesota’s 5th congressional district in just one week. News of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, could affect voters’ decisions, which is exactly why federal law enforcement should not engage in such conduct when voters are casting their ballots. This type of interference strips Minnesotans of their right to a free and fair election guaranteed to them under the Constitution," the letter said.
"We stand with Congresswoman Omar and condemn the weaponization of law enforcement against her. You have already disgraced the offices you hold, and we demand you refrain from taking any further actions that could affect the outcome of the upcoming election."
IF the GOP weaponized the law against Omar (and again, this probe started under Biden) then it means she is innocent, something that appears increasingly unlikely. Also, if this be weaponization of the law, turnabout is fair play since they have done that repeatedly over the years to our side. If you don't want something don't start something.
Of course this is not about weaponization; it's about political power and how they plan to use this to gin up support and money, now and in the future. They are telegraphing how they are going to spin this, as a corrupt would-be tyrant using the law to take out political enemies (as if Omar has EVER sponsored any real legislation). All she is is a reliable yea or nae vote for the Democrats.
The Democrats are hoping to split off the weakling RINO Republicans. This has worked in days gone by; the "principled" RINO's will want to protect "comity" in government and will surrender to the Dems as they always have. "Be the bigger man". They are like Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind, pompous asses who pride themselves on being superior to the point where they refuse to get their hands dirty but sneer at those who do. These have long been the useful idiots of the Democrats, who disobey the rules they quote to these clowns at will but the RINO wing never stops listening to them. Like Charlie Brown and the football. They always believe "this time".
Here is how the Dems justify their claim:
Her fellow House Democrats recounted the allegations in their letter, saying, "Your probe into the congresswoman reportedly concerns her late father’s filing of immigration paperwork after she fled Somalia’s civil war at age eight, making her a U.S. citizen at age seventeen."
But they argued it does not justify "a pre-dawn raid on her home for paperwork her father filed when she was a minor."
But it has nothing to do with her father's paperwork error (he conveniently forgot to mention he was a warlord's hatchet man) but with her own actions. She was old enough at the time not to get citizenship through her father and she purposely had her staff alter documents to make her appear younger to hide this fact. That is a felony.
Jaypal knows it too; don't kid yourself.
It also ties in with the fact she married her own brother to bring him here illegally as well. Jaypal knows that too.
So she is lying through her teeth with all of this. The authorities did not make a pre-dawn raid (like they did to Roger Stone) nor did they bust down the door. This was nowhere near as bad as what they did to President Trump, tearing up his home and sniffing Melania's panties (well, you can't blame the agents for NOT sniffing Omar's). And if Ilhan wants to end this, if she is innocent, she would have provided her DNA willingly along with turning over her phone and computer. The DOJ had to seize it.
And we do not know what else the DOJ is investigating about her. She has deep ties to the Somali community, the one that was cashing in big time on stolen government money. Was she at the forefront of that?
This is not weaponization, it is not something started by Trump, and if it were weaponization Ilhan could have ended it by being forthcoming. It was SHE who dragged this into the political season (which, granted, is hard to avoid as it's always political season these days.)
As ye sow so shall ye reap. They started it. Now they don't like the results.

Bolsonaro Shoots the Moon
Timothy Birdnow
Flavio Bolsonaro has flown the coop, buggering out of his home country for parts unknown in the United States. He is one immigrant I wholeheartedly welcome.
Can't blame him; his father died under house arrest after spending years in prison on fake, phony charges. The da Silva government hounded a political enemy to his grave - and now wants to hound the rightful winner of the Brazilian election as well.
Trump needs to squash Brazil's economy for this. And perhaps find something to indict da silva over.
Da Silva is a socialst, probably a Communist, and his continued power in Brazil - South America's largest country and has the largest economy on the continent. The stability of Brazil is very important, especially since there had been a rising tide of Communism in the region, a tide reversed with the ending of USAID funding the radicals. Brazil may take up the slack, so we need to force da Silva out. He will never leave voluntarily.
Elon Musk has activated Starlink over Brazil so the public can get real information, but he waited too long. Now da Silva is entrenched and will probably remain that way. There needs to be a color revolution in the only Portuguese speaking country west of Portugal.

Judge Declares Acting U.S. Attorney Looking into Vote Fraud Disqualified
Timothy Birdnow
Channeling his inner de Moraes (the boy from Brazil) a federrale' judge told an acting U.S. attorney handindling illegal alien vote fraud that he was disqualified.
Actually the judge didn't bother to inform First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli he was disqualified, it was a journalist named Brittny Mejia, a shill for the L.A. Timess. Mr. Essayli was busy with a hearing over 20,000 illegal aliens on the vorer rolls while the judge apparently held a secret hearing to bar Mr. Essayli from his work.
You might say they legally assailed Essayli.
Brittny Mejia@brittny_mejiaAfter ballot hearing today, I informed @USAttyEssayli that a federal judge ruled this afternoon that he is unlawfully serving as a "de facto” United States Attorney.
Disqualifications in two cases delayed for now. Essayli told me the case "will be decided by the Supreme Court”7:52 PM · Oct 27, 2026·5,799Views
One has to wonder what standing the anonymous plaintiff had, if there even WAS a plaintiff. Certainly this is over the paygrade of said judge, who is at most a district court judge.
On what basis does a judge disqualify an acting U.S. Attorney? Acting means he does not need approval from Congress until his temporary term is up (usually ninety days) or the President removes him or another attorney is appointed and confirmed by Congress. The Courts have no say in such matters; that is encroaching on another branch of government.
As the Red State article points out, a similar case has already been appealed to SCOTUS after the Administration lost in the 9th Circus (as expected). It has this to say:
What's happening here has nothing to do with Essayli's qualifications as a U.S. Attorney and everything to do with politics. Before being appointed as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California in April 2025, Essayli was a member of the California Assembly for four years and was well known as a huge thorn in the side of the Democrat supermajority cabal in Sacramento — and for being equally antagonistic to wimpy Republicans in the capital. Essayli also served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Central District from October 2014 through February 2018 and was part of the prosecution team that responded to the terrorist attack in San Bernardino in December 2015. So, he's clearly qualified for the position.
So he was disqualified solely because he rocked the boat.
Actually the unnamed judge stayed the ruling until SCOTUS made a permanent decision.
But this should never have made it to court and the judge should have issued summary judgment to dismiss the case.
At any rate the judiciary is out of control, and so is the corporate media. Both need to be reined in.
There appears to be an international brotherhood of judges ready to usurp power any time they please. This has got to stop.
