Ryan Routh, the man charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump last year in South Florida, is set to represent himself in a pretrial conference on Tuesday, as final preparations are made for his trial.
Trump Derangement Syndrome
Donald Trump says he is not a dictator. Isn’t he?
Speaking in the Oval Office this week, Donald Trump had something he wanted to clarify.
“I’m not a dictator. I don’t like a dictator,” the president said.
Yet his comments came weeks after he deployed armed soldiers and Humvee-style military vehicles to patrol the streets of Washington, claiming, despite all available evidence, that the use of the national guard was necessary to control crime.
The remarks followed Trump withholding, or threatening to withhold, billions of dollars from universities, and after the increasingly politicized FBI raid on the home of John Bolton, a prominent critic of Trump.
The Guardian is the living conscience of a happy Gulag guard.
Stupid Stuff Andrew Coyne Says: Donald Trump is on the brink of becoming a dictator. Can he be stopped?
By now it should be clear that the subjection of the United States to the dictatorship of Donald Trump is no longer a theoretical possibility or even a distant probability. It is an imminent reality.
It is not here, quite – critics of the President remain at large, the courts are still attempting to enforce the rule of law, the results of the 2026 and 2028 elections have not yet been determined – but the pieces are being put in place at astonishing speed.
Rosie O’Donnell Fantasizes About Trump Dying in Trans School Shooter Rant: ‘It’s Coming to an End, He’s Not Doing Well‘
Actress and former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell, who fled the United State after President Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in last November, went on a conspiracy theory-filled rant about the anti-Catholic trans Minneapolis school shooter that included her fantasizing about Trump’s death.
John Bolton investigation ‘began under Biden administration’
John Bolton, the former US national security adviser, came under investigation during Joe Biden’s presidency for mishandling classified material, it has been reported.
Emails from Mr Bolton containing sensitive material were found in data gathered from another country’s spy service, according to The New York Times.
John Bolton rips Trump’s ‘incoherent’ FBI raid, Ukraine plan in first comments since returning home
Ex-Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton spoke out Tuesday for the first time since his Maryland home and Washington, DC office were raided by the FBI on Friday — and he came out swinging against his former boss.
In a series of X posts, Bolton was back to decrying the 45th and 47th president’s foreign policy — as well as the law enforcement actions targeting him.
The Russia Hoax Is About to Blow Up, Schiff and Biden’s DOJ Are Next
Ed Martin, the director of the Department of Justice Weaponization Working Group, joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” for an explosive interview about ongoing investigations into government abuse of power. Martin confirmed that his office is reviewing criminal referrals involving Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), New York Attorney General Letitia James, and matters tied to the Russia hoax and January 6 investigations.
Send them back … TDS Afflicted Drama Queens Flee Trump For Canada
Moving to Canada no easy road for these people fleeing Trump’s America for political reasons
Robert Apgar-Taylor vividly remembers the day he and his husband, Robert Taylor, crossed the border into Canada, fleeing the changing political climate in their native United States in hopes of a safer life in Canada.
“We took a picture at the border. It was winter,” said Apgar-Taylor. “We wore our plaid shirts and hats, and showed our immigration papers with the moving truck behind us. We were so excited.”
To avoid confusion, this story refers to Apbar-Taylor’s husband as Rob.
We’re not exactly getting America’s best and brightest.
The Pee Tape People Are Big Mad Right Now
You can’t make this up.
The Pee Tape people are back at it, very upset that Trump and Putin are speaking. They see Trump negotiating peace with Putin as the ultimate betrayal of America and NATO, which begs the question: Why are they so desperate for war in the first place?
There Aren’t Enough Shells on the Beach to Hide James Comey’s Blackmail Treachery Against Trump
Those of us who aren’t “today years old” have always believed there was a much darker, ulterior motive for James Comey showing President-Elect Donald Trump information from the preposterous Steele dossier. It’s true that Comey wanted to give CNN an excuse to break the made-up Russiagate story he leaked to reporters. That was treacherous enough.
‘It felt like a scene from The Handmaid’s Tale’: US comics on the dangers of political satire
In April, comedian Jena Friedman had a strange encounter in Vancouver airport. She had just performed a Ted talk about the future of comedy and was heading home to the US, when someone she thought worked for airport security quizzed her about her visit.
Thinking he was probing for visa infringements, “I just said I was doing comedy. Then he asked: ‘What do you joke about?’ Stupidly, I lightly flirted with him, and was like: ‘Everything other than airport security!’ He didn’t react at all. Then I realised he was US border control. He asked again: ‘What do you joke about?’”
Friedman is a veteran of The Daily Show and The Late Show, and her standup comedy often features excoriating routines at the expense of the political establishment. “I just froze because I am a political comedian and I didn’t know what to say. Then he said: ‘Do you joke about politicians?’”
Comedians so lame they make up psychodramas.
The Secret Dreams and Twisted Fantasies of the Fanatical Left
Pinsker’s Law of PR #1: If you don’t know the problem your audience has, then YOU are the one with the problem.
That’s it, folks — the Big Kahuna. The #1 rule of PR. Problem-solving is where it begins and ends, and not just for PR: It also applies in sales. (Which makes sense, when you stop and think about it: Propagandists are still salesmen; we just sell storylines.)
Left-wing dark-money megadonors, including George Soros, contribute $20M to groups funding protests against Trump’s DC crime crackdown
Several lefty, dark money organizations, including George Soros’, contributed more than $20 million to groups funding protests against President Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, DC.
Free DC, a “fiscally sponsored special project” of progressive nonprofits Community Change and Community Change Action, brought 150 demonstrators near the White House Monday to protest Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard troops in the district and federalize the city’s police department.
“Do not obey in advance” and “Take up space” are among Free DC’s “guiding principles,” and the group urges supporters to “go outside at 8:00 PM and bang pots and pans, sing, chant, or make noise for five minutes” every night “of this occupation.”
The Left’s Feeble Attacks on Trump’s Violent Crime Crackdown
Donald Trump has federalized the Washington, D.C. police and deployed National Guard troops to the city. Trump is arguing that the deployment is in response to a crisis in public safety.
Here’s the pattern: Trump says something true, the media calls him a fascist, and when it turns out the country agrees with Trump, they switch to calling it obvious. They did it on the border, they did it on NATO, now they’re doing it on crime, though this time, the elites are… pic.twitter.com/O0MmGNZE4J

Why Raining Justice On The Russia Hoaxers Is So Tricky — And So Important
How do the American people get justice for arguably the greatest political scandal in U.S. history? This question looms over the Trump administration as Russiagate — or Obamagate, as it perhaps should be known — continues unraveling.
At least nine years after this sordid scandal began, it has become ever clearer that, at the direction of President Barack Obama, the leaders of his national security and intelligence apparatus used and abused their awesome powers to baselessly frame Donald Trump as a traitor. They did this in seeming coordination with foreign governments, the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, and regime media.
