Where Did All of the Money Go, Gavin?

Absolutely disgusting news out of California:

Gavin Newsom gave his close family friends $500,000 from the Pacific Palisades fire aid relief money.

  • Getty family members donated over $500,000 to Newsom’s campaigns from his 1990s San Francisco supervisor run through his 2018 gubernatorial victory (e.g., bundled contributions via family trusts). This does not include the public J. Paul Getty Trust
  • The Getty family’s support has extended to Newsom’s political rise, with shared social circles including figures like Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Brown
  • Gordon Getty invested in all 11 of Newsom’s early ventures, holding lead stakes
  • A Getty family trust paid Newsom directly for investment consulting in the early 1990s
  • Gordon and Ann Getty provided undocumented gifts and low-interest loans for Newsom’s home purchases, including real estate in San Francisco

Why Do Some People Take Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Seriously?

In times past, I would have asked, “Does anyone actually buy the crap that AOC is spewing?” but it’s clear that many do.

A more apropos question is this: “What events have happened in the lives of those who believe the crap that AOC is spewing, such that they’re susceptible to such utter nonsense?!”

Two other related questions:

  1. Could someone like Ms. Ocasio-Cortez become the Prime Minister of Canada within one election cycle, proffering the socialist talking points that she endlessly does?
  2. Adam Carolla has suggested that people only listen to her because she’s attractive.  If she did look like Elizabeth May or Katie Porter, would she gain any electoral traction?

John Bolton Indicted

John Bolton indicted by a federal grand jury on 18 counts under the Espionage Act.

The indictment in Greenbelt, Md., federal court alleges that Bolton transmitted classified national security documents through a personal AOL email account and knowingly sent secret materials to outside contacts while serving in the first Trump administration.

Prosecutors allege that Bolton, 76, used email and various messaging apps to send documents classified as high as “top secret” that revealed intelligence about future US attacks, foreign adversaries and international relations.

The former US ambassador to the United Nations also kept diary-like notes of his daily activities and assessments, more than 1,000 pages of which he shared with two relatives — believed to be his wife and daughter — who did not have security clearances and were not authorized to see the information Bolton shared. […]

Federal agents searched Bolton’s Maryland home and Washington, DC, office on Aug. 22 in connection with the long-running investigation, which FBI sources told The Post was mysteriously “shelved” during the administration of Trump’s predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

During those searches, investigators retrieved documents related to weapons of mass destruction, the US mission to the United Nations, strategic government communications and secret travel memos, according to court records.

Even if Bolton had no intention of releasing the information, he could be held liable if sensitive documents were left lying around where others could get to it — a legal provision that applies to his personal email account as well.

“They are very difficult cases to defend against because it is in essence a simple analysis! Is the document classified? It in your possession? Did you purposefully possess the document in question?”

You be the judge.

Sean Davis: John Bolton is in deep trouble.

Brain Dead Democrats

My working hypothesis is that Fetterman’s stroke knocked out the “lyin’ Democrat” centers in his brain.

Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary contest, threatening to tear the party apart in the biggest battleground state in the nation.

Why it matters: Democrats haven’t flipped a GOP Senate seat since Fetterman did it in 2022. He’s still popular with Pennsylvania voters, even as Democrats turn on him over his softened approach to President Trump.

Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

Roger Simon: MidEast Peace Big Trouble for the Democrat Party

Given what Trump has just achieved, it makes the MSM and Capitol Hill Dems look like clown shows. They, particularly the Democrats’ increasingly bizarre Mamdani/AOC left-wing, have been busy running their party into the ground. Trump’s peacemaking allows them to finish the job by making the Democrats seem so kooky by comparison that even extinction now seems a possibility.

Sound excessive? I don’t think so. Listening to cable news tonight, I may have missed something, but I did not hear one Democrat congratulate President Trump on his achievement.

According to Grok, at this writing, even Sen. Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, a Jew, and supposedly a friend of Israel, has said not a word. Terrified of AOC? You bet.

What is wrong with these people? Well, plenty. They are so overwhelmed with hate, for Trump and evidently for each other, that they can’t see straight or think rationally.
