https://www.newsweek.com/john-bolton-investigation-update-biden-trump-foreign-emails-2120501 The federal investigation into John Bolton, President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, gained new momentum during the Biden administration after U.S. intelligence collected evidence suggesting he mishandled classified material, according to a report in The New York Times. Citing people familiar with the matter, the Times said U.S. agencies obtained information from a foreign adversary's spy service, including emails that Bolton appeared to have sent on an unclassified system while in the Trump White House. The messages, reportedly containing sensitive material from classified documents, were allegedly sent to people close to Bolton who were helping him prepare his 2020 memoir, The Room Where It Happened. So Trump was just finishing up what Bidens folks started. Lots of retribution there, oh yeah. mspart

Trump is a fascist after all. Making DC safer for blacks, who'd a thunkit? mspart

Bowser now says DC is safer with the Trump rush. mspart

Mayor Muriel Bowser initially expressed fear of President Donald Trump’s plan to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital, but its clear success made her change her mind. After Trump announced his plans to deploy National Guard troops and assume oversight of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to tackle rising crime in Washington, D.C., Bowser warned such a crackdown would be "unsettling and unprecedented." However, the mayor admitted at a press conference on Wednesday that the federal surge has made a noticeable impact on one of America's most famously dangerous cities. At the briefing, Bowser displayed a chart crediting the influx of FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Park Police and Capitol Police with bolstering MPD’s efforts and declared, "We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city." She pointed to one dramatic example, saying, "For carjackings, the difference between this period, this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents an 87% reduction in carjackings in Washington, D.C. We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer. So, this surge has been important to us for that reason." Bowser offered further examples of Trump’s new surge driving results. "This is what we think in just a couple of weeks of experience has worked," she said. "Having more federal law enforcement officers on the street — we think having more stops that got to illegal guns has helped. We think that there is more accountability in the system, or at least perceived accountability in the system, that is driving down illegal behavior. We know that we have had fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides, and we have experienced an extreme reduction in carjackings." This is quite remarkable. Bowser then complained about tactics to get here but that rings quite hollow. She couldn't completely give Trump a win, had to complain a little bit so she could keep her bona fides with the Dems. I'm guessing this will be the major part of what is covered by the media in general. mspart

White people never innovated? Yah right. that's like saying Asians never innovated, blacks never innovated, Arabs never innovated. This lady is way toooooooo far gone. mspart

https://thehill.com/business/5455164-trump-dc-crime-paid-protests/ NewsNation spoke with Adam Swart, the CEO of Crowds on Demand, about his company that provides services “for impactful advocacy campaigns, demonstrations, PR stunts, crowds for hire and corporate events,” according to its website. “All of our protesters are sincere advocates for the cause at hand. We’ve been in business 13 years, so we have a large roster of people we know and have networks of others we can call upon to be compensated for expressing their sincere points of view,” Swart said. Swart said compensation for protests is typically in the low hundreds of dollars, depending on the assignment. RV, you might want to read the article next time rather than go to AI with a manufactured question. You said it was a lie that people are paid to protest. This guy says it is not a lie. Which is it? mspart

He still didn't answer even when you gave him the question again. Typical. mspart

Hopefully those kids in the hospital come out ok with the rest of their lives to look forward to. This is just pure evil no matter who perpetrates it. Someone on CNN said that the semi auto weapon used could shoot 12 bullets with one trigger pull. Idiotic to say the least. But the question is how did this obvious mental case get a weapon? mspart

Well, dems da rules for the Dems. He was a white guy, apparently not conservative, is the reality of the situation. I guess white people in general are the biggest threat. Just ask the murder victims in DC and Chicago. mspart

Well, this MN dude must have been a white conservative or else this thread wouldn't be talking about him right? mspart

It's a long time coming. mspart

He was incredible to watch. A real master. His final in 1996 when he was just a lad was a master class. He just got better and better. mspart

Alas the streak is gone. https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/homicide-free-streak-ends-dc-anacostia-road-southeast-shooting-death/65-edcb21b7-b91c-49e7-9516-3f7cd22c139b mspart

Apparently not the pride or lgbtxyz flags. mspart

Ha ha, correct. I don't want to see Trip saying anything about whataboutism. That said, this is not a good idea. The government should not be in the business of owning or partially owning private or publically traded companies. There was a time when Obama did it when the car companies needed a bail out. But that money was all repaid and that was that. I disagree that this is a good idea. mspart

I wonder about Uganda. I hear they speak English there so he might decide to learn it now. Not many that espeaka espanish over there I don't think. I wonder why Ds are so intent on putting all their eggs in this miscreant. It is just a wonder really. They are defending an illegal alien with a rap sheet of domestic violence and human trafficking. Seems like the wrong guy to be supporting. But afterall, he is a Maryland man. Except he is not. mspart

Seattle went with a less crazy mayor and for the most part the crazy is not as extreme. It is still crazy but not as bad. Will they go for a republican. Not in the forseeable future. But they have backed off of the extremists. Chicago, has the chance to change direction. Will they? mspart

I'm doubting this. And I will unless they bring back the old man. This is what management wanted, they got it. But the lady from Bud Light got the boot for doing what they wanted. So I suppose it could happen. Difference here may be Bud Light did not hunker down and keep Mulvaney on as a spokesman. If CB keeps the old man, then they will be backing off as well. CB does have bigger issues than the logo though. Their food has gone from great to garbage. mspart

Hmmm that's really interesting. mspart

Is it possible they will be less stupid on this vote for mayor? mspart

https://jonathanturley.org/2025/08/26/running-it-up-the-flagpole-why-the-trump-order-on-flag-burning-is-unconstitutional/#more-235125 Turley disagrees with Trump on this one. Essentially burning flags is protected. It cannot be used as a sentencing enhancement where it created an injurious situation or otherwise public harm. mspart

Yes, CA gave a temp CDL and WA gave him a permanent one. And NM at a traffic pullover said he could speak adequately. Yet FL says he can't speak and it just goes on and on. It is a crazy time where an illegal alien can get a CDL. Blows my mind. Only in the US does this happen. mspart

Thread is too long so I am putting this in at the risk of it already being pointed out. https://nypost.com/2025/08/22/media/dems-gavin-newsom-roast-new-cheap-cracker-barrel-logo-on-social-media/ The Democratic Party and California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office’s X accounts joined the backlash against Cracker Barrel after it released its new text-only logo earlier this week. The company unveiled the new logo on Tuesday as part of its new branding campaign for the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store restaurants. The campaign eliminated the image of a man resting on a barrel in favor of a text-only logo for the first time since 1977. While conservative critics have piled on the new redesign, both the Democratic Party and the liberal governor’s media team put out tweets Thursday calling out the Tennessee-based restaurant chain for the change. “WHAT IS WRONG WITH CRACKER BARREL?? KEEP YOUR BEAUTIFUL LOGO!!! THE NEW ONE LOOKS LIKE CHEAP VELVEETA “CHEESE” FROM WALMART, THE PLACE FOR ‘GROCERIES’ (AN OLD FASHIONED TERM)!!! ‘FIX IT’ ASAP! WOKE IS DEAD!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. — GCN,” Newsom’s press office wrote, mocking President Donald Trump’s caps-heavy writing style. “We think the Cracker Barrel rebrand sucks too,” the Democratic Party wrote. So apparently not just conservatives are saying Cracker Barrel is making a mistake here. My own opinion is that they are trying to get away from the "country" feel of the place that gave it its charm. And the absolute generic quality of their new logo really makes that clear. They should just change their name to something more appropriate like Food gone bad or something. I used to like the place but the last 2 times I've eaten there, it was pretty horrible. MT and UT were my last two experiences and it was not like it was many years ago when I learned to love them. Not going again. mspart

He presumably qualified for the CDL he carried. He presumably knew more about the rules of the road than the normal Non-CDL driver. Yet, he could not speak English profienctly, answering only 2 of 12 questions. https://nypost.com/2025/08/19/us-news/illegal-migrant-truck-driver-in-deadly-florida-crash-failed-english-road-sign-tests-despite-getting-licenses-from-2-sanctuary-states/ Federal law has mandated for decades that CDL holders must be able to speak English “sufficiently” enough to converse with the public and read road signs – with Duffy signing an order in May to bolster those laws. And in California, CDL tests are administered only in English, while Washington allows tests to be taken in English, Spanish, Russian, or Serbian-Croatian. So why did he have a CDL and was allowed by two states to drive a big rig? CA and WA broke federal law by allowing him to receive a CDL. The family of the victims has a pretty easy case to make for damages of these two states in my opinion. mspart
