  1. “The purge of insubordinate bad actors at the DOJ continues.

    Acting DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro reportedly confronted Jon Hooks, a longtime DOJ attorney and chief of a key unit in the office, last month for slow walking what she considered high-priority cases including an investigation into the Biden $20 billion money laundering “climate” scam right before the 2024 election; the doctoring of DC crime data; and Soros linked groups funding violent protests/domestic terrorism.

    MSNBC: “The night after his confrontation with Pirro, Hooks gave notice that he would resign from the U.S. attorney’s office by the end of October, intending to stay on long enough to help hand off the reins and key cases to his replacement. But instead, days later, a Pirro deputy notified Hooks at a farewell party for fellow prosecutors in the D.C. office that he was being fired immediately,.” Sources tell me he was not allowed back into the building.

    Given Hooks’ resume, it is very likely he was involved in the investigation into President Trump for the events of Jan 6. Hooks was one of JP Cooney’s deputies before he succeeded him as chief of the fraud, public corruption, and civil rights section.

    Cooney helped lead the Trump J6 investigation at the DC US Attorney’s office; he also brought charges against Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.

    Hooks was promoted–presumably by then DC US Attorney Matt Graves–to succeed Cooney, who a few months later was detailed to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office.

    What remains fascinating is how these “career” prosecutors never spoke up against the political prosecutions of Trump, his associates, and his voters on fake crimes but now REFUSE to proceed with pursuing charges for demonstrable crimes.

    Good riddance…”

    • And again, good riddance.

      “I am also told that assistant DC US attorney Elizabeth Aloi, who was demoted by Ed Martin in February, has been fired.

      Aloi not only led the prosecution of Peter Navarro–she asked for a year in prison for Navarro on 2 contempt misdemeanor convictions–but also prosecuted J6ers including bringing the bogus 1512c2 count against them.

      GOOD RIDDANCE–watch for her on MSNBC soon!

      She was one of the more hyperbolic promoters of the Jan 6 “insurrection” narrative. Here’s her sentencing recommendation for Navarro. (Judge Mehta sentenced him to 4 months and a $9500 fine.)”

    “The Bolton indictment is so damning, it defies words.

    It details brazen corruption, abject stupidity, and most importantly, conduct of people who sincerely believe they are above the law.

    I presume individual 1 and individual 2, who were the recipients of the diary-like entries detailing all of the classified information Bolton was receiving, are his wife and daughter. I initially thought actual book editors, but the indictment refers to them as “related”.

    Sharing classified information…

    Sending it through unauthorized emails…

    Not reporting having sent classified information from email that was hacked…

    Comedic level stupidity.

    Avarice greed.

    Brazen corruption.

    And a sense of legal and political invincibility to boot.

    Holy crapapples.

    Jail.”

  3. Correct!

    And the right reply.

    “I’m not sure how much clearer I can be, but let me give it a try: 

    I am willing to sit down with Democrats to discuss the growing unaffordability and unsustainability of Obamacare. 

    It’s a system they created, but I’m happy to hear them out. Heck, I’m even willing to give them a vote. 

    Today. Tomorrow. Next week. You name it.  

    But there’s one condition: End the Schumer Shutdown.  

    I will not negotiate under hostage conditions, nor will I pay a ransom. Period.”

    “Absolutely right.

    Democrats passed Obamacare without a single Republican vote. The “Affordable Care Act” was not so affordable.

    Dems got America into this problem all by themselves. They shut down the government demanding more of your money to patch their terrible policies.”

    “George Soros’s nonprofit faces losing its tax status based on ties to the anti-Trump No Kings protests, Fox News reveals. A money trail shows a $3 million grant awarded in 2023 from Open Society to the Indivisible organization which is helping organize the protests.  Under federal tax law nonprofits must not participate in politics. Nonprofits have lost their tax-exempt status for less, court records show. The Trump administration now has grounds to pursue this in federal court or tax court to strip this Soros group from its tax exempt status. Soros has given $32 billion to this group since 1984 and it’s been operating tax free. #”

  5. It needs to be addressed when Rs get off their butts, that’s for sure. The status quo isnt working. We already pay way to much for our plan as it is.

    Worse part, they all knew it was coming. Every Dem that voted for Obamacare is responsible for this. They were warned, but insisted they knew better.

    Then they spent 2 years bribing insurance companies to hold off on these increases until post election. This was just one of the many gifts they left America holding the bag for. Add in billions for illegal care, and it’s a fiasco that no one in D.C has the guts to fix.

    All of their own making, not ours.
