President Trump Say He Will Officially Announce Acting AG Todd Blanche Nomination as U.S. Attorney General Tomorrow

During a White House dinner this evening, President Trump told the audience he was going to officially nominate Todd Blanche to fill the open position as U.S. Attorney General tomorrow. [Video from Dan Scavino]

President Trump suggested he planned to nominate Blanche in an interview with the New York Post’s Miranda Devine on Tuesday, saying “I think he will” be the permanent attorney general. The president added that he didn’t have any other candidates in mind for the role.  “We put him as acting, and he’s done a very good job,” Mr. Trump said.

Congratulations Todd Blanche.

Jury Selection Completed in Karmelo Anthony Trial for Murder – Opening Statements Tomorrow

Karmelo Anthony, who is black, was arrested in 2025 after he stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf, who is white, at a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.  Karmelo has been charged with first-degree murder: the unlawful killing of another, with malice aforethought and specific intent.

In the past several days 600 people were reviewed to generate a potential pool of 250 jurors.  The 250 were further whittled down to 12 with six alternates.  The jury selection is over and the opening statements in the trial will likely begin tomorrow.  The jury will not be sequestered during trial.

The killing is not being disputed by the defense, there were dozens of witnesses to the murder.  However, the defense is claiming ‘stand your ground’ and ‘self-defense’ as justification for the killing.  The defense is also promoting a motive of racism for everything surrounding the event between Metcalf and Anthony and throughout the pre-trial motions and public positioning.

Race has become the focal point of the issue because the defense is promoting race as the cause.  Interestingly, last week Jack Cashill noted the Karmelo Anthony trial was likely to become the summer 2026 racial motivation for the midterms -similar to George Floyd- assuming Karmelo is found guilty. {See Cashill Prediction Here}

Karmelo is transparently guilty and Cashill rightly notes there is a long history of Communists and Marxists using the transparently guilty as martyrs for their racism narratives.  The Austin Metcalf murder and Karmelo Anthony trial is perfect fuel for the “Black Lives Matter” remnants to reassemble.

The potential jurors were questioned about their biases and perspectives.  Several of the black jurors said they could not convict a young black man for killing a while young man. This is the part of the cultural narrative the defense teams are publicly counting on.

Massachusetts Rep Bill Keating Seethes Over Pulte Appointment and Ukraine Support During Rubio Testimony

Seriously folks, if you needed to see one representative example of the professional Leftist (democrat) mindset wide-open and on display, this is the pontificating example that could be shared with audience members.  Bill Keating is a case study in unchecked leftism.

Representative Bill Keating, obviously a man of intemperate mental disposition – while trying to keep his marbles in the bag despite the massive hole in it, begins questioning National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the appointment of Bill Pulte to the position of Acting DNI.

The level of sanctimonious arrogance is off the charts as Keating tries -and fails- to contain mental stability while the cognitive synapses fire in random directions against inbound information that must be rejected.  Bill Keating hails from Massachusetts CD-09.  After he has exhausted his Pulte outrage stash, Keating quickly mounts his high horse with demands that everyone must support the most politically corrupt country in Europe, Ukraine.

President Trump Gives Extensive Interview on Iran Issues – Confirms Testy Conversation with Benjamin Netanyahu

President Donald Trump sits down for an extensive interview with Miranda Devine and explains [at 13:22] why the frustration with Israel ended up with some salty words exchanged between himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

I did. I always get angry. I was a little bit perturbed at him, constantly fighting with Lebanon. I said, ‘at some point we’ve going to stop this’.”

President Trump is also asked about the perception of President Trump’s policy directive toward Iran being controlled by Israeli interests.  President Trump rejects that perception.  Additionally, Mrs Devine also asks President Trump about the continued efforts of the former CIA to target his administration (impeachment, Hunter Biden laptop, etc.)  WATCH:

Pulte Panic Reaches Fever Pitch – Democrats Threatening to Block FISA 702 Reauthorization

Oh, this is just awesome news.  Republicans are going bananas. Democrats, led by senate intel vice-chairman Mark Warner are having fits and meltdowns.  All of it because President Trump announced the appointment of Bill Pulte to replace Tulsi Gabbard at the end of the month as Acting DNI.

To make the issues even better, Democrats are now threatening to block FISA-702 reauthorization and stop the warrantless surveillance of American citizens unless Pulte’s appointment is withdrawn.  Yes, read that again slowly if needed – it’s perfect. 🤣😂🤣

WASHINGTON DC – […] Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Tuesday to use his influence with the White House to reverse Trump’s move to install Pulte as overseer of the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Warner, who’s been critical in building Democratic support for a bipartisan deal to extend FISA Section 702, made clear to Thune that all options are on the table to reverse what Democrats see as a dangerous Trump pick to lead ODNI. Pulte, who currently leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has no national security experience and has used his existing role to exact revenge on Trump’s political foes.

From Warner’s perspective, it’s impossible to convince enough Democrats to support a reauthorization of Section 702 when Pulte would be the one overseeing the program. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has also privately told senators that the Pulte appointment makes passing a FISA deal much more difficult.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio Testimony to Senate Foreign Relations Committee

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.  The U.S. Senate as a whole and members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee specifically, have lost millions of dollars wealth for themselves and their families as a result of Rubio eliminating USAID. As a consequence, while they cannot publicly showcase that specific motive for opposition, the committee as a whole is not happy about losing a substantial portion of their stakeholder interests.

The families of all the senate committee members exist inside the think tanks, NGOs, political orgs, PACs and lobbyist companies for various foreign governments.  Just like Q-Anon advocate ¹Mike Flynn recently taking a job that pays him $100,000/month to lobby for the Republic of Srpska (aka ‘Serb Republic’, for advice, counsel and introductions), so too all the family members of the senate leverage their DC connections to foreign governments for personal gain.

Thus, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now being questioned by the very Senators he has defunded.  WATCH (prompted):

¹Yes, Michael Flynn signed an agreement within the Trump administration not to lobby for foreign governments; but that was only a paper promise. That’s one of the reasons why it is more than a little silly for people to mention Flynn’s name as a potential DNI nomination.
