ProPublica reports Dan Bongino got a polygraph waiver for his security clearance

These exams catch foreign ties & blackmail risks

Waivers at this level are unprecedented & part of a broader purge of career national-security experts

So we stopped at an antique store and my spouse saw little silver spoons and said β€œI want one of those, you know what they’re for, right?” and I was like β€œNo.” and they said β€œThey’re for your salt cellar, to scoop out salt” and I was like β€œWow yeah that’s way more innocent than what I was thinking.”

Last month, I hopped on a plane from JFK to see Olivia Nuzzi in Malibu. We went hiking and ate at diners together. I spent hours sitting shotgun in her Mustang, listening to great music and having fascinating and meaningful conversations with her. She is a writer's dream and a writer's nightmare. Both because she is a very good writer herself and because she is a startling, complex person.

A former career DOJ guy told me a few weeks ago that prior to Trump, the FBI was the varsity team, DHI and ICE were junior varsity, and Border Patrol were like a drunken office softball team. And under Trump, the drunk softball guys are now in charge.

The Washington Post
Democracy Dies in Darkness Bondi says Justice will investigate relationships to
Epstein suggested by Trump The president suggested that the relationships between the disgraced financier and several prominent Democrats deserve more scrutiny than his
own connections to Epstein.

The Washington Post Democracy Dies in Darkness Bondi says Justice will investigate relationships to Epstein suggested by Trump The president suggested that the relationships between the disgraced financier and several prominent Democrats deserve more scrutiny than his own connections to Epstein.

This is a 19-paragraph article to which 7 journalists contributed; it contains not a single hint that there is any impropriety in the President of the United States directing the Justice Department to investigate his political adversaries.

Landon Thomas’s behavior seems to be embarrassing enough to the Times hierarchy that they had their spokesman go on record insinuating to the Post that he was fired for cause. I wonder whether legal signed off on that. nypost.com/2025/11/12/u...

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

You can read the emails yourself:

Trump is in the files.

He "knew about the girls."

He spent time with the victims.

He was involved in the coverup.

He was "the dog that hasn't barked."

The government can no longer be complicit in this coverup. Release the files.

The coordinated nature of thisβ€”none are facing voters in 2026β€”means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Looking forward to watching the Lions-Commanders game, which will be broadcast live on Fox in the late window (4:25 kickoff) from Rapist Field at Convicted Felon Stadium.

Lions are -8.5.

Prop bet that Donald Trump will be booed if they show him on the big screen is -100000

In response to Elon Musk dunking on someone as a "taker, not a maker," JCO quotes and replies "So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesβ€”scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the 'most wealthy person in the world.'"
