Right now, the news cycle concentrates on illegal immigration and foreign dealings. So, those guys are front and center. The leftists already shut up about those economy tanking tariffs, because, oh look, the market is bullish again. ![]() So, who do you think are not doing their jobs as Cabinet Secretaries? Q | |||

James Comey is escorted from his home as he's investigated for making threat against Donald Trump By JAMES GORDON FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 20:29 EDT, 16 May 2025 | UPDATED: 20:34 EDT, 16 May 2025 Former FBI Director James Comey was escorted from his home to be interviewed by the Secret Service about a social media post that Republicans insisted was a call for violence against President Donald Trump according to a law enforcement official. CNN showed video of Comey, 64, leaving his house in his suburban Virginia and heading to the Secret Service’s Washington field office just before 6pm. The interview was part of an ongoing Trump administration investigation and is expected to help investigators assess the purpose and intent of the post and whether Comey intended to communicate a threat to the president, which he flatly denied. Any decision on whether charges should be filed would be up to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Trump said on Friday, though there's a high bar in proving that comments or posts amount to direct threats of violence. The interview is standard for the Secret Service while investigating comments perceived as potentially threatening. At issue is an Instagram post from Thursday in which Comey wrote 'cool shell formation on my beach walk' under a picture of seashells that appeared to form the shapes for '86 47.' The Merriam-Webster dictionary says 86 is slang meaning 'to throw out,' 'to get rid of' or 'to refuse service to.' It notes: 'Among the most recent senses adopted is a logical extension of the previous ones, with the meaning of 'to kill.' We do not enter this sense, due to its relative recency and sparseness of use.' Numerous Trump administration officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, asserted that Comey was advocating the assassination of Trump, the 47th president. FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau was also supporting the investigation. When asked about it on Friday during a Fox News interview, Trump said: 'He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant. If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that meant, that meant assassination. And it says it loud and clear.' He deflected a question on what he thought should happen, saying the decision would be up to Bondi. The post was deleted on Thursday after it was made, with Comey subsequently writing: 'I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.' “It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” the now-crime novelist wrote. Trump was wounded by an assassin’s bullet at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvanie on July 13, 2024, and then almost shot at by another would-be assassin at his West Palm Beach, Florida golf course on September 15, 2024. Trump and Comey have had a fraught relationship dating back nearly a decade. Comey was the FBI director when Trump took office in 2017, having been appointed four years earlier by then-President Barack Obama and serving before that as a senior Justice Department official in President George W. Bush's administration. But the relationship was strained from the start, including after Comey resisted a request by Trump at a private dinner to pledge his personal loyalty to the president - an overture that so unnerved the FBI director that he documented it in a contemporaneous memorandum. Trump then fired Comey in May 2017 amid an FBI investigation into potential ties between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign. That inquiry, later taken over by special counsel Robert Mueller, would ultimately find that while Russia interfered in the 2016 election and the Trump team welcomed the help, there was insufficient evidence to prove a criminal collaboration.

You should not be the quarterback when our team is down at the end of the first quarter my friend. Stop freaking out! Pretty sure our coach has a few more quality players. Sit on the bench for a minute. Calm down! | |||

They should have raided his house at 4am with a full SWAT team, the media pre-stationed, and treated him like a common shitbag. Not because it was warranted, but because he took personal joy in seeing that happen to others when it wasnt warranted. "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

We have a do-nothing congress. We have worthless republicans. People are saying “let’s primary them”. How many significant pieces of legislation have been passed? How many executive orders have been codified? Waiting to primary the worthless scum kills half of Trumps term. That’s not what we voted for. Lots of talk from everyone. How long are we supposed to sit around? | |||

I would also like to see congress making more of Trumps ExOrders law but by far we are way better off then we would be without him. I hope all this vote them out crap doesn't happen and they just come around and get things done but given that it takes congress for ever to get nothing done its going to take Trump steam rolling everything to get anything done anyway. The supreme court judges are the ones that need to get inline and straighten the lower courts out. | |||

Q, thank you for including this piece. The bias is disgusting and it is amazing how certain portions, highlighted below, are slipped into what might otherwise appear to be a legitimate article. In looking into the author, James Gordon, I was not surprised to find that he is employed by the Leftwing BBC.

Can't the Trump administration simply ignore the court's ruling? I don't understand what action the court can take other than issue a bunch of "strong rebukes" if Trump continues the deportations. What can the Surpreme Court realistically do? | |||

Political Cynic![]() |
Yes The Supreme Court has no mechanism to enforce its rulings. The agreement to abide by the rulings has been founded on the premise that they do the right thing for the right reasons. Injustice Roberts has destroyed that trust along with the four bitch DEI hires. Ignore the court, do what you need to do and make the country better. The republicans don’t seem to understand that we had a quiet revolution with MAGA at the ballot box. The next revolution won’t be as quiet as we know know for 100% certainly that the elected Congress is not interested in the will of the people. | |||

For now, as I understand it, SCOTUS has not ruled against deportations in general, nor on what form of Due Process is required. They punted it back to the 5th Circuit. SCOTUS hasn't ruled yet on the issue of nation wide injunctions by lower courts. Striking down such injunctions will greatly help with deportations. Perhaps there is an end run whereby a large number of these gang members can be deported swiftly. If an individual has already had various findings against them for being here illegally, convicted of crimes, or found by some legal process to be a gang member, then the Alien Enemies Act need not be invoked. Give them 72 hours notice (SCOTUS rejected 24 hours) and some uniformly available path to object to removal. Now is the moment for Congress to step in and end this obstructionist lawfare. But they seem to mostly be spineless swamp dwellers. | |||

IMO, people like Hegseth, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Linda McMahon (Sec of ED), Scott Bessent (Sec of Treasury), Russ Vought (Dir. OMB), Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Karoline Leavitt, etc are doing great despite the shit being thrown at them left and right. Even those who get some criticism like Noem, Bondi and RFK jr are doing FAR, FAR better than their predecessors. I posted last year that Trump winning the election was the easy part, and implementing his agenda will be the hard part. Plus I don't think anyone here could have predicted the lawfare since Jan 20th by the district judges. To say none of the above names are MAGA is a bit unfair and inaccurate. Even RFK Jr, an ex-Democrat is far more MAGA than many Republicans in Washington.This message has been edited.

I would disagree that only a few members of Trump's cabinet are pushing his agenda. Chris Wright, Energy: plans to quadruple nuclear power plants; ending Green Nude Eel in energy Doug Burgum, Interior: opening up federal lands for multi-purpose use as originally planned, to include mining, ranching, timber production Lee Zeldin, EPA: IMO he's a superstar in pushing Trump's agenda. EPA will be getting Congress to end the EV mandate. Tens of billions of loan and grant fraud from after November found and being clawed back. Getting back to original EPA focus of clean air, clean water; moving 180 degrees away from Green Nude Eel insanity. Sean Duffy, Transportation: taking over a department that had never received any attention from his predecessor, he is doing everything he can to reverse Biden-era disasters. Plan for a new and state-of-the-art ATC system is number one. Howard Lutnick, Commerce: fully supports Trump's economics agenda, including tariffs. Scott Bessent, Treasury: Currently the best spokesman for Trump's economics agenda; opened Treasury to DOGE to permit them access to payment systems database, revealing horrible bookkeeping practices. Bondi, AG: I admit she seems more interested in getting on TV and sounding good, as we haven't yet seen serious prosecution of Biden-era crimes. Noem: Same as Bondi. Talks big, but seems most interested in promoting herself as celebrity with Cosplay mall cop costumes. Fortunately Tom Homan is doing his job well. Secret Service? New leadership. Coast Guard? Old broad running it was scuttled for DEI crap. So some good stuff, but I don't sense an overall plan. Why aren't they looking at privatizing TSA? Gabbard, DCI: I've had misgivings all along about her; but she is going along--as well as I can see--with Trump agenda. What's happening behind the scenes I don't know. Is the CIA really being reined in? I don't have that feeling, but it could be done on the hush-hush as they used to say. RFK Jr, HHS: Too early to say. He might do a great job; or he might push non-scientific nonsense. If people want to choose organic foods, that's great. If pesticides and other aspects of modern agriculture are banned, much of the planet will starve. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Just another great Trump story you will never see on the leftist media outlets. True kindness displayed when no one was looking. Woman Shares Beautiful Story About the Night Donald Trump Saved Her Life During a Chance Encounter in NYC, Long Before He Became President By Cassandra MacDonald | May. 17, 2025 11:00 am A New York woman shared her story about the night President Donald Trump saved her life by convincing her not to commit suicide during a chance encounter, long before he entered politics. The interview was aired on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.” A woman, identified only as Debbie, recounted how years ago she was in a vulnerable state and contemplating suicide near the Brooklyn Bridge, when a chance encounter with Trump saved her. Debbie has lived in New York for 50 years and told Newsmax, “Trump saved my life, literally.” “My dad and my mom passed at the same time. I was in a bad place. I was going towards the Brooklyn Bridge, don’t ask me why, but I was.” Debbie explained that she ran into Trump on her way to the bridge. “He was at a friend’s birthday party,” Debbie explained. When he saw her passing by in tears, he gently grabbed her arm and asked if she was ok. “He said, ‘I don’t know what you’re going to do right now, but whatever it is, forget about it,'” she explained. “Take it out of your head, your mom and dad wouldn’t want that,” she recounted him saying. She said that the future president stayed with her and talked until she had forgotten all about her plan to end her life. As they departed, he asked to pray for her and slipped a folded-up $100 bill into the palm of her hand. “He saved my life,” she reaffirmed through tears. https://x.com/NEWSMAX/status/1...bout-night-donald%2F Earlier this year, Kathie Lee Gifford revealed how Trump saved her and her newborn daughter from a “psychopathic murderer” just over three decades ago.

from Mark Swanson at NewsMax House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Friday that the panel has opened an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to issue his eleventh-hour pardons, adding he thinks they know the staffer who did it, the Washington Examiner reported. Comer made the comments in a speech to the Republican National Lawyers Association’s policy conference in Washington. “So our newest investigation at Oversight Committee is we’re investigating the autopen, and I think we’ve identified the staffer” who operated it, Comer said, according to the Examiner. “If what we think is going to play out on the autopen [investigation], it’s going to create a strong case on the pardons.” The autopen was used for Biden's preemptive pardons for his family members in the waning hours of his presidency. Also getting pardons before Biden left the White House were members of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's partisan Jan. 6 select committee; Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; and Gen. Mark Milley, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. President Donald Trump declared the pardons issued by Biden "void, vacant, and of no further force or effect" because they were signed by a device. According to a March investigation by the Oversight Project, an arm of the Heritage Foundation, the use of an autopen was used to produce Biden’s signature on "every document we could find,” including Biden's pardon of six criminals on Dec. 30, 2022, "while Joe Biden was vacationing and golfing in the U.S. Virgin Islands." The pardons all say "signed in the city of Washington," according to the Oversight Project. Of concern for Republicans and the Oversight Project is whether Biden was aware of what he was signing or whether he actually signed them at all. "Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency," the Oversight Project said in a post to X on March 6. The New York Post reported on March 14 that a key aide to Biden may have exceeded their authority by “liberally” using the autopen to sign official documents. The Post cited two former White House sources. “The Biden aide, who did not respond to requests for comment, would frequently make mention of what ‘the boss’ wanted,” the Post reported. One WH source told the Post that “To me, [the staffer] basically was the president.” And now Comer says he believes the committee knows the identity of that person.House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Friday that the panel has opened an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to issue his eleventh-hour pardons, adding he thinks they know the staffer who did it, the Washington Examiner reported.
