Matt Margolis at PJM thinks The Way Bongino Flushed Out Deep State Leakers Was Pure GENIUS. Or fairly obvious. Give each person a different set of facts, and see who which set gets leaked. A full-throated defense of Pam Bondi from LHGrey @grey4626, "I have been asked for my opinion about Pam Bondi...so here it is... Pam Bondi, in my opinion...was deployed as a precision instrument in a theater of institutional warfare where the Attorney General’s role is less about courtroom theatrics and more about reshaping the Department of Justice’s internal architecture from within a bureaucracy engineered to resist exactly that. To mistake her fifteen-month tour for failure is to misunderstand the architecture of power itself..." I don't know that I agree, but it's worth reading. Paul Sperry @paulsperry_, "BREAKING: Just-declassified FBI/DOJ Clinton Foundation docs reveal the same inspector general, Michael Atkinson, who relaxed whistleblower rules and misled Congress re the Eric Ciaramella/Adam Schiff impeachment plot, was involved in the 2016 decision to scuttle the Clinton Fdn. investigation as a then-DOJ prosecutor."
Matt Margolis also reports a Top Fauci Aide Indicted for Concealing Records in COVID Origins Cover-Up. Hat Hair's Dave Strom is hoping for COVID Consequences Coming? Sean Spicer @seanspicer, "Anthony Fauci adviser indicted by Department of Justice David Morens, 78, has been charged with conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal, or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting." He was too low in the food chain to get an auto-pen pardon. Clay Travis @ClayTravis, "A doctor and top assistant to Anthony Fauci has been arrested for destroying emails relating to the origins of Covid. Finally! Buckle up, more is coming." Quote Senator Ron Johnson @SenRonJohnson, "More than two years ago, my PSI staff discovered and made public emails in which Dr. David Morens bragged to colleagues about his efforts to avoid transparency by destroying federal records and using his personal email to communicate on “sensitive issues.”" At Althouse "These allegations represent a profound abuse of trust at a time when the American people needed it most — during the height of a global pandemic." "Said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, quoted in "Anthony Fauci adviser indicted by DOJ on charges of concealing COVID records" (NY Post)." Paul D. Thacker @thackerpd, "EXCLUSIVE: NIH has removed virologist Ralph Baric from all his grants; UNC placed Baric on leave. Senior HHS officials says UNC was complicit in starting the COVID pandemic. “Baric designed the gun,” he said. “But the Chinese built it, and then they pulled the trigger."
At Althouse, King Charles arrives at the White House. Sundance at CTH hosts President Donald Trump Hosts a State Dinner for King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the White House – Livestream Links. Beege Welborn at Hat Hair likes 'We Two Kings' and the Art of Trolling. Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "What he said." Quote Jim Hanson @JimHansonDC, "President Trump has made a major outreach to the English people. He treated their royals wonderfully and this speech shows we recognize just how important Britain used to be. They must choose to join us in the New Golden Age of Civilization and reject the globalist multi-culti spiral they are currently in. British culture still exists as they attempt to bury it..."
And I suppose we must continue on with our coverage of the third Trump assassination attempt. Matt Margolis hears Jimmy Failla Mocked Lax Security on Hot Mic BEFORE Trump Assassination Attempt. John Sexton sees Cole Allen Believed the Butler, PA Assassination Attempt was Staged (Update).
At Twitchy, Short Supply: Stephanopoulos Has ‘Little Patience’ for Those Blaming Dem Rhetoric for Political Violence. MAZE @mazemoore, "After Paul Pelosi was attacked in 2022, Jake Tapper did an entire show on the dangers of stochastic terrorism and of systematically demonizing a person. Tapper blamed the right and QAnon for inciting the attack. He said calling someone a pedophile or claiming that someone is out to hurt people will result in violence..." Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter, "Hey, another of our friends tried to murder some patriots. Go grab that stock pic we always use of some guys who didn't kill anyone - the one where we killed an unarmed woman. That one." Quote Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin, "Opinion: The right must learn to live with a liberal leader without reaching for violence, or for rhetoric that makes violence feel thinkable. x.com/usatoday/statu…" Shawn Farash @Shawn_Farash, Can someone on the Left tell me what rules we're playing by? If Donald Trump saying "March peacefully and patriotically" on January 6th is "inciting a violent insurrection"... Then what is it when Hakeem Jeffries calls for "Maximum Warfare everywhere all the time"? Because if we're playing by the Left's rules, Hakeem Jeffries should be held legally responsible for the mass assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Their rules. Not mine." PJM's Stephen Kruiser observes, Hakeem Jeffries Isn't Man Enough to Argue With Karoline Leavitt and Vicky Taft hears Shorter Pritzker: Trump Deserved It, and I'll Justify It by Completely and Hilariously Wrecking Myself. Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas, "Democrats “increase the temperature” until something excessively violent happens and then insist that Republicans “lower the temperature” by giving Democrats everything they want…lest more violence happens. It's a political extortion racket." Erick Erickson @EWErickson, "What we have are: •The assassination of Charlie Kirk. •Two assassination attempts on Donald Trump by known progressives, plus a third in Butler, PA, where the kid was clearly mentally ill. •The attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh. •The attempted assassination of Josh Shapiro and his family. •The attack upon the Alvaredo, Texas ICE facility that left a local police officer wounded. •The attack upon the McAllen, Texas ICE facility that left three officers injured. •The attack on the Dallas, Texas ICE facility that left one dead and others critically wounded. •And what CNN calls “Rep. Steve Scalise shot,” which was actually a mass assassination attempt on 24 Republican members of Congress, in which 4 people, including Congressman Scalise, were shot by James Hodgkinson," and The Left's Assassins. At NYPo the Divine Ms. Devine says Dems must heed Trump’s call for unity in the wake of frightening WHCD shooting: ‘Resolve our differences.’ They won't. At TCW, Trump-haters wonder why he would be an assassination target. Eric Florack at PJM asks What Leads to the Assassination Mindset? Jarvis @jarvis_bes, "Ordinary mainstream left of center position." Quote Jesse Arm @Jesse_Leg, "In our last @ManhattanInst survey, we found that 46% of today’s Democratic coalition believes “the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in July 2024 was orchestrated by his supporters to increase sympathy for him.”" Richard's Substack wonders Can The Left Abandon Political Violence? "Political Violence has been a "religion" for the Radical Left." At Am Great, the Great Victor Davis Hanson sees the left going From One Assassination Attempt to the Next: Mainstreaming Violence Against a President "Trump’s assassination attempts underscore how rhetoric that casts political opponents as existential threats can move from language to violence." Brendan O'Neill at Spiked disdains The bougie nihilism that is killing America, "The third attempt on Trump’s life confirms it: polite society is becoming violently intolerant." Amy Curtis at TownHall thinks Greg Gutfeld Nailed It With His Comments About the WHCD Shooter: Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet, "Greg Gutfeld just delivered the single most succinct and cutting indictment of the leftwing media's complicity in Saturday's WHCD attack: "This guy did hear voices. They were Ted Lieu's, they were Brandon Johnson's, they were CNN's, they were The View, they were MS NOW." "I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one that shows you can be radicalized by liberal smugness." "He wasn't a crank. He was not deranged. Don't buy into that narrative ... He was just following orders." Greg nails it." The Babylon Bee @TheBabylonBee, "Trump Indicted For Inciting Assassination Attempt."
Hollywood in Toto thinks Melania’s Right, But Firing Jimmy Kimmel Would Be Wrong. PJM's Scott Pinsker looks at Jimmy Kimmel’s Blood Feud With Melania Trump: Why Disney Fiddles as Its Magic Kingdom Burns. Cruadin @cruadin, "Roseanne getting the axe over a joke was 100% the work of Obama & Co. A good thing to remember when they start acting Outraged!™ over any criticism going the other way." Quote End Wokeness @EndWokeness, "Roseanne mocks Valerie Jarrett's looks ABC: *𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝟱 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀* Kimmel "jokes" about kiIIing of Trump..." Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze "while we are on the free speech topic this is an actual thing that also happened under Barack Obama. A guy who had nothing to do with the Benghazi terrorist attack arrested.
@jaketapper absolutely silent. Because he was not a millionaire late night comedian friend." Stephen L.Miller @redsteeze, "This is a real thing that actually happened. Also a rodeo clown in random fuck USA lost his job because he wore an Obama mask."
Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon, "An example of how they cook the books to absolve the Left of violence in the WSJ today: A graph it published that seems to show near parity between Left and Right wing political violence is sourced to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which by its own admission reclassified pro-Palestinian violence as "ethnonationalist". It classifies all antisemitism as Right-wing, and all pro-Palestinian "attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions" as "ethnonationalist." This is just nakedly partisan propaganda presented as "data" and then mainstreamed in the American press. More in my column below linked."
At RCD, Power Play or "How Trump Is Running the Most Aggressive Geopolitical Play in a Generation—and Why It Has to Be This Way." Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman, "President Trump just dropped this gem! Trump saved America $298 MILLION on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool: The historic pool, where MLK gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, was a leaking, filthy disaster. Government bureaucrats wanted $300 MILLION and 3+ years to rip it up. Trump said hell no. Called in real pool experts, scrubbed the original granite, sealed it, and topped it with American Flag Blue industrial coating. $1.5–2 MILLION Done in 2 weeks Will last 40–50 years and look better than 1922 This is how you run government like a business. Promises kept! Taxpayer dollars saved!"
John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad, "John Thune has become a punching bag for good reason but there is a more insidious force at play nobody can talk about. Let me explain… The staffers in Thune’s office have been asking Trump Naval and Maritime appointees questions about me before confirmation hearings. I doubt John Thune knows who I am. His staff absolutely does. They track me. They hate me. And they will quietly bleed pushing out any appointee I’m friends with...." A long one, but worth it.
Patel turns tables on Walz in response to viral tweet on Minnesota fraud raids: 'Come again?' "Patel said the FBI, DOJ and DHS partners 'drafted and executed every search warrant today'." Ace, DOJ Lear Somali Pirates a Lesson, Raiding 22 Pirate Plunder Operations in Tim Walz's Third World Hell-Hole of Minneapolis "Not even Minnesota, the state. Just concentrated in Ilhan "World War Eleven" Omar's fortified colony of Minneapolis." Don Surber says The B in EBT stands for Bentley. “Somewhere in America, a Lamborghini owner is buying groceries on the taxpayer’s dime.” With examples.
Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "BREAKING: Andrew Dezelan, a Democrat running for Indiana State Senate, was just arrested after allegedly campaigning door-to-door while HIGH ON COCAINE. He also reportedly physically struggled against the police when they confronted him about having drugs. Dezelan has received preliminary charges of possession of cocaine and resisting law enforcement." Casey Jones, better watch your speed!
