I understand that they think they can win this PR battle, but I believe that they have overestimate their ability to swing America to their narrative in this case.

"I'm fighting against racism, and I'm the racist," he said. "Well, I guess I'm fighting against myself. So, I have to make a 180-degree turn, and I thank the conservative movement for standing up and being such a loud voice and planting a seed within me so that I can grow, flourish and go out there and plant seeds."
[YouTube - nations that don't deserve protection] Professor Jeffrey Sachs' speech at the European Parliament gains widespread attention following the intense Oval Office confrontation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. On February 19, 2025, Sachs emphasized the need for Europe to adopt an independent foreign policy, understanding both Russia's and Europe's positions. His remarks take on new significance as Trump's stance on Ukraine has sparked international concern.
[NYPOST] Mayor Eric Adams ...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve... ' former liaison to the Moslem community — considered a key witness in the feds' quashed corruption case against Hizzoner — on Tuesday pleaded guilty in a funding scam tied to Adams' 2021 campaign.
Months after the Justice Department moved to toss Adams' corruption case in an arrangement a judge said smacked of an unsavory ''bargain,'' Mohammed Bahi
… American-Algerian Muslim community activist who at one point was working out of a mosque that had got the attention of the NYPD anti-terror unit…
admitted that ''it was wrong'' for him to falsely claim he collected $32,000 in donations from real-estate firms at a Brooklyn fundraiser in 2020.
Bahi, 41, pleaded guilty to felony conspiracy to commit wire fraud at the Manhattan federal court hearing, where he said he knew Adams' campaign was ripping off city taxpayers by fraudulently applying for 8-to-1 so-called ''matching funds'' off the phantom donations.
[JUSTTHENEWS] A career intelligence officer who worked for Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade repeatedly warned the FBI beginning in 2017 that then-Rep. Adam Schiff >...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation" Elected to rgw Debate in 2024...> had approved leaking classified information to smear then-President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... over the now-debunked Russiagate scandal, according to bombshell FBI memos that Director Kash Patel has turned over to Congress.
The FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News state the intelligence staffer — a Democrat by party affiliation who described himself as a friend to both Schiff, now a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, senator, and former Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes — considered the classified leaking to be "unethical," "illegal," and ''treasonous,'' but was told not to worry about it because Schiff believed he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's speech and debate clause.
No publicly-disclosed opinion from the Attorney General or the Solicitor General can be found making that determination as a matter of law.
But officials told Just the News that DOJ officials showed little interest in pursuing Schiff when the allegations were brought to them years ago, citing the very same excuse the politician had offered.
In his most recent interview with the bureau in 2023, the whistleblower, whose name is redacted, told agents from the FBI's St. Louis office that he personally attended a meeting at which Schiff authorized leaking classified information.
"When working in this capacity, [redacted staffer's name] was called to an all-staff meeting by SCHIFF," the interview report said. "In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP.''
The whistleblower told Sherlocks that he "stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured that they would not be caught leaking classified information," the 2023 interview report stated.
The staffer made similar claims to agents in the FBI's Washington field office as early as 2017, shortly after Trump took office for his first term.

The day after this story published, Schiff provided Just the News with a comment.
''Kash Patel's latest smear against Senator Schiff is absolutely and categorically false, and is just the latest in a series of defamatory attacks from the President and his allies meant to distract from their plummeting poll numbers and the Epstein files scandal," Schiff told Just the News. "These baseless smears are based on allegations that were found to be not reliable, not credible, and unsubstantiated from a disgruntled former staffer who was fired by the House Intelligence Committee for cause in early 2017, including for harassment and potentially compromising activity on official travel for the Committee."

I don’t think Schiff can authorize a leak of classified material. Whoever actually leaked the material committed a felony whether Schiff gets out of it or not.

[AmericanThinker] In a 1954 about the Dutch resistance during World War II, its fighters took pride in their leader’s courage as he taunted the Germans during nighttime attacks. Brazenly wearing an easily visible white scarf, he was fearless in challenging the enemy to shoot at him.
But it was only after the resistance had suffered numerous mission setbacks that a terrible reality came to light. Their leader, known as “The Scarf”, wore the garment, not to antagonize the enemy but to let them know where exactly he was on the battlefield so that, as a German collaborator, he would not be shot by them.
One can imagine the perfidy felt by the resistance fighters upon learning a respected leader had betrayed them. The film was, appropriately, entitled “Betrayed.”
Ironically, “betrayed” is also a fitting word for what we now know about those involved in “Crossfire Hurricane”—the FBI’s code name for its effort, launched in 2016, to explore whether Donald Trump’s presidential campaign colluded, either wittingly or unwittingly, with the Russian government to win the election that year.
A treasure trove of documents just released by FBI Director Kash Patel strongly indicates the effort was less of an investigation and more of a determined campaign by the administration of President Barack Obama to help ensure Trump was defeated in his run against Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
But after Trump won the election, Obama’s campaign to delegitimize Trump did not end there; it continued during Trump’s time in the Oval Office to undermine his credibility and effectiveness. The former president and his minion force of former senior leaders, still wielding influence in their respective federal agencies, remained actively engaged in an effort to stigmatize him as corrupt.
Like the Dutch resistance fighters who discovered their leader was not what they thought he was, we are learning that Obama and his underlings played a similar role, basically serving as the equivalent of a “Scarf Administration” in office, going on to hide its operations in the shadows when the ringleaders were out of office.
The released FBI documents make it clear—just like the movie “Betrayed” was scripted, so too was the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Participants knowledgeable about the latter’s fictional plot even lied to Congress about what they knew and when they knew it. With documents released now revealing the only collusion involved was among Crossfire’s “scriptwriters” and not the originally stated characters of the investigation, Trump has challenged the mainstream media (MSM) to do its job by reporting truthfully on the story to be told.
In a nutshell, Crossfire Hurricane was launched due to allegations made in the Steele dossier—a biased report written by former British spy Christopher Steele, working for the research firm Fusion GPS, hired by Hillary’s campaign to find “dirt” on Trump. Given to the CIA, the Steele dossier was recognized for what it was—a political hit piece lacking proof. Thus, what followed was not a misunderstanding of intelligence but an effort by the Obama administration to “manufacture” intelligence to attempt a coup.
CIA Director John O. Brennan reported his agency’s findings to Obama as well as the fact the dossier was promoted by Hillary to deflect attention away from her security transgressions in having used a private internet server for transmitting highly classified information. Thus, a document failing to meet CIA’s credibility standards became the investigation’s sole source of evidence and, as per Obama’s instructions to Brennan, the director sought to give the Steele allegations the perception of truth.
Despite knowing this, Brennan later lied to Congress as was reported by the liberal New York Times. It noted that Brennan had publicly claimed the Steele dossier “was not in any way used as a basis for the intelligence community assessment that was done” due to the CIA’s credibility concerns.

Brennan reminds me of one of several Jon Lovitz characters: the liar, the actor etc. If Jon had done an Intelligence Specialist, it would have looked like Brennan.

[FoxNews] Texas Democrats also fled the state in 2021 to block GOP legislative efforts, ultimately returning weeks later.
Texas House Democrats have reportedly confirmed they intend to return to their state after fleeing in an attempt to halt legislative proceedings, which included GOP attempts to redraw congressional districts in the state.
Multiple sources confirmed to ABC 13 Houston on Tuesday that the absent House Democrats will return to the Lone Star State after feeling like they accomplished their mission of killing the special legislative session called by Republicans to pass redistricting legislation. The special session expires next Tuesday.
The outlet reported the exact time of the Democrats' return to the capital in Austin is not clear.
News of the lawmakers' imminent return to the state comes on the same day that Texas Senate Republicans were able to get the new congressional maps approved. They must now be passed in the House before Republican Gov. Greg Abbott can sign them into law.
Earlier this week, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Republican House Speaker Dustin Burrows indicated they would adjourn the special legislative session this Friday if Democrats had not returned by then.
Meanwhile, Abbott has signaled plans to immediately call a second consecutive special session and has teased that he may also add additional agenda items.
[NYPOST] DC Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said Tuesday that she wants to ''work together'' to implement President Trump's directive federalizing her 3,400-officer force — hours after 850 federal agents patrolled the streets of the capital Monday night.
Smith and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, an elected Democrat, visited the Justice Department Tuesday morning for meetings with their new law enforcement supervisors, including Drug Enforcement Administration chief Terry Cole, who will oversee the MPD.
Bowser told news hounds she too wanted to see ''how to make the most of the additional officer support'' — as the White House supplements MPD officers with a surge in personnel from federal agencies including the Border Patrol, the FBI, the DEA and US Park Police.
National Guard members will also have a presence on the streets of the capital, despite not being empowered to make arrests.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told news hounds Tuesday afternoon that ''last night, approximately 850 officers and agents were surged across the city,'' adding that ''they made a total of 23 arrests.''
''These arrests consisted of homicide, firearms offenses, possession with intent to distribute narcotics, fare evasion, lewd acts, stalking, possession of a high-capacity magazine, fleeing to elude in a vehicle, no permits, driving under the influence, reckless driving and a bench warrant.''
Leavitt also noted that six ''illegal handguns'' were confiscated and promised that ''this is only the beginning.''
''Over the course of the next month, the Trump administration will relentlessly pursue and arrest every violent mostly peaceful criminal in the district who breaks the law, undermines public safety and endangers law-abiding Americans,'' she said.
''He is going to make our nation's capital the most beautiful and safe city on Earth, just like he promised on the campaign trail.''
Although Bowser clashed with Trump during his first term over policing matters, she said Tuesday that she wants to make sure that National Guard members and federal law enforcement are ''being well used — to drive down crime.''
''We have more police, and we want to make sure we use them,'' the mayor said.
Smith previously served as the department's first chief equity officer, where she "led the department's efforts on diversity, equity and inclusion," according to her biography.
[REUTERS] A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday rejected a bid by a group of unions to block the Trump administration government downsizing team known as the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing sensitive data on Americans.
The Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 decision, said the unions were unlikely to prevail on claims that DOGE would violate federal privacy laws by accessing data at the U.S. Department of Education, Treasury Department, and Office of Personnel Management.
The court refused to block DOGE's access to the agencies' computer systems and data such as Social Security numbers and individuals' citizenship status pending the outcome of the case.
The decision reverses a temporary injunction issued by a federal judge in Maryland, which had been paused by the appeals court in April.
The agencies involved in the case and the unions that sued, which include the American Federation of Teachers and the National Federation of Federal Employees, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... after taking office in January launched DOGE, then headed by billionaire Elon Musk, to dramatically shrink government bureaucracy and federal spending.
DOGE, which is not a formal government agency, has overseen job and spending cuts at nearly every federal agency and has been the focus of numerous lawsuits. Musk stepped down from DOGE in May after publicly falling out with Trump.
The 4th Circuit on Tuesday said the unions that sued along with a group of military veterans had not shown how they would be injured by DOGE accessing agencies' computer systems. They also probably lacked legal standing to sue because that access is not a "final agency action" that can form the basis of a lawsuit, the court said.
A dissenting judge said it was prudent to temporarily block access to the data while the case plays out, and that the standard his colleagues had imposed on the plaintiffs was too high.
[IsraelNationalNews] The driver of Justice Minister Yariv Levin on Tuesday changed the lock on the office of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, preventing her from entering.
Levin’s office did not deny the incident, stating: "This claim is nothing short of absurd. The locks in the Minister’s Tel Aviv office were indeed changed. The office belongs to the Minister, not to Attorney Baharav-Miara."
The statement added: "Her attempt to make unauthorized use of the Minister’s office is yet another example of puzzling behavior from someone already dismissed from her position."
