    “EXCLUSIVE: Longtime Trump Advisor @MichaelRCaputo Says Russia Gate Probes Cost His Family Everything: His Home, His Children’s College Funds, And The Most Profitable Years of His Career

    “My legal fees are over a half a million…We lost our children’s college funds and we lost our house. We had to move. Not just because of the financial impact, but because of the violence that was threatened and the people who were sitting outside my house while I was recovering from cancer, throwing pebbles at my window to keep me up at night. It isn’t just financial costs. It’s the death threats and the strange, weird surveillance by citizens as they’re following you.”

    And they’re already promising this type of lawfare on a massive scale should they win the midterms.

  2. “The entire point of deposing the DOGE boys is to say to anyone who might want to enact and sort of right wing or conservative agenda: “If you ever do anything to help the political right, we will never leave you alone, and we’ll make you pay for the rest of your life.”

    “The problem is that these people spent the last dozen years making as many White men as possible pay, regardless of whether or not they “helped the political right.”

    If you shoot your hostage, you no longer have any leverage. The Left did exactly this and is now shocked to discover that a significant number of White men would rather be their public enemy because they’ve seen how they’ve treated apolitical bystanders who “just want to be left alone”.”

  3. The story the media never tells.

    “They bury the Dad’s full quote at the end of the article. And they REALLY buried the lede.

    “Simmons recalled something his son had told him before volunteering for the mission that ended his life.

    “He said, ‘Dad, I can’t give you any details, but if civilians knew what we knew, a lot of the criticism [of the war] would cease,” he said.

    Simmons came away from Dover with a better impression of the war’s architects than he had when he arrived. Trump teared up and hugged him, evincing warmth and compassion at odds with the president’s public persona, Simmons said. He also credited Trump for looking him “straight in the eye.”

    “He extended his condolences father to father and conveyed how difficult it is to make decisions to put the children of other parents in peril,” Simmons said.

    As for Hegseth, “When I talked to him, I got the impression that he was torn because he seemed to be a very compassionate man, faced with difficult decisions as it pertains to war,” Simmons said.

    “I also let him know that Tyler was my only son. And you could see the emotion on his face. And I think those kinds of things you can’t fake,” he continued.

    “I was pleasantly surprised because the perception is they [Trump and Hegseth] don’t care, they’re going to do what they want to do,” he said. “I got to see a different side of them up close and personal.””

    “Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker speaks about a Democratic “Project 2029” in which members of the current Trump administration, along with federal agents, will be criminally and civilly prosecuted.

    “Whatever it is that we can do. It may be that you cannot criminally prosecute somebody, but you can go after them civilly.””
