  1. Here in southeastern Ohio we had a wet spring followed by a dry summer. That usually results in leaves turning brown without going through the glorious colors of a more typical season. But we are still having some nice colors in the past two weeks. It’s been restorative.

  2. Question:
    On this fateful Election Day, um, let’s see now…how is the Democratic Party like a black hole?

    Hint:
    “Biggest black hole ever detected gobbles up star — now burns bright as 10 trillion suns: ‘This is unlike any we’ve ever seen’”—

    OTOH, if DJT gives ‘em just enough indigestation, then…maybe, just maybe…

    Example A:
    “Pelosi calls Trump ‘vile creature’ and ‘worst thing on the face of the Earth’ in scathing rant”—
    https://nypost.com/2025/11/04/media/pelosi-calls-trump-vile-creature-and-worst-thing-on-the-face-of-the-earth/

    (Gosh, Nancy too…who’d a thunk it..? At this stage of the game, “deplorable” sounds downright polite…. Wonder if he hit her in her pocketbook, where it really hurts…)

  3. Pelosi and others are very frustrated. Their plan was to ruin DJT’s plans for America First. He is succeeding, they’re failing. So, name calling, stomping their feet, and closing the government are all they’ve got.

    They’re on the wrong side of every 80/20 issue. They know they’re headed for the cliff, but don’t know where the emergency brake is.

    In some ways it’s quite amusing. On the other hand, they’re edging toward more violence and law breaking. And that’s not funny.

  4. Pelosi is 85 years old. Sometimes age has unfortunate effects on one’s acuity. What distinguishes her from other doddering octogenarians is that witless journalists put microphones in her face.

  5. Pelosi has been a piece of work for decades. I don’t blame all of her latest vitriol on her age.

  6. Ending the day (starting the day?) (depends on what the meaning of “day” is):
    some good news amidst the disappointing but expected election results.

    James Comey’s legal troubles just got a whole lot worse.

    In September, James Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice. Comey claims he’s the victim of malicious prosecution, and Democrats are out in full force claiming that this is part of Trump’s “revenge,” but newly filed evidence that Just the News obtained is quite damning. Prosecutors have revealed what looks like a smoking gun: Comey’s own words showing that he wasn’t merely aware his top aides were leaking to the press; he was actively congratulating them for it.

    As investigative journalist John Solomon explained on Real America’s Voice, “James Comey was clearly aware that his top aide was providing information anonymously to the news media. Not only was he aware of it, he wrote in a private email, ‘Good job, my friend,’ actually congratulating him.”

    The aide in question, Dan Richman, was one of Comey’s closest confidantes and the same man who served as his conduit to the New York Times during the infamous leaks that helped trigger the Mueller investigation.

    For years, Comey has insisted under oath that he never authorized any of his staff to leak information to the media. But Solomon revealed that these emails and handwritten notes tell a very different story. The leaked material at the center of this case relates to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, a topic that Comey’s defenders have long claimed he handled with scrupulous neutrality. The evidence now suggests otherwise. The former FBI director not only knew about the leaks but encouraged them, precisely the opposite of what he told Congress.

    Even more damning are the handwritten notes recovered from what Solomon described as “burn bags” discovered by Kash Patel in a secret FBI evidence room. Those notes reveal that as far back as September 2016, Comey was aware of an intelligence intercept showing that Hillary Clinton had approved a plan to “hang a fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump’s campaign house.” Yet when testifying before Congress, Comey claimed, “That doesn’t sound familiar. I don’t think I ever knew about that.”

    Comey’s writing is atrocious; I’m surprised that anyone was able to decipher it.

    Trump U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan files public response to James Comey’s motion to dismiss his indictment for vindictive prosecution.

    Exhibit 13 includes bombshell, damning evidence of then-FBI Director Comey’s handwritten note–on FBI director letterhead–evidencing Comey’s knowledge of–and even participation in–the Russian collusion criminal conspiracy against Trump.

  7. Another long-awaited action.

    https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/11/04/articles-of-impeachment-filed-against-rogue-judge-boasberg-n4945608

    The articles of impeachment accuses Boasberg of authorizing unconstitutional subpoenas and nondisclosure orders as part of the FBI’s Arctic Frost probe, which, of course, was signed off by Special Counsel Jack Smith. These orders targeted Republican members of Congress—including Sens. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Marsha Blackburn—while they were engaged in their official legislative duties, violating Article I protections.

    Boasberg is also accused of allowing the DOJ to bar AT&T from informing Senator Cruz about a subpoena for his records for at least a year, citing baseless claims that Cruz might destroy evidence or intimidate witnesses. The resolution argues Boasberg’s actions directly violated 2 U.S.C. § 6628, which protects Senate offices from such secret orders.

    The resolution further alleges that Boasberg enabled politically motivated subpoenas against conservative organizations like the Conservative Partnership Institute and America First Policy Institute, as well as individuals such as Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Jenna Ellis—suggesting the court was weaponized to suppress political opponents.

    The resolution concludes that Boasberg’s conduct demonstrates a “pattern of impropriety” and a failure to uphold constitutional limits, making him unfit to serve and warranting removal from office. Amen!
