In The Shadow Of Mt Hollywood

BREAKING: FBI releases new info, offers $500,000 reward for suspect who planted pipe bombs near the DNC on January 5, 2021 pic.twitter.com/GUbAI8Mzev — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) October 22, 2025 There's been a flurry of new stories about the FBI releasing video footage of a person who appears to be planting pipe bombs next to the Republican and Democrat National Committee headquarters buildings the evening before January 6, 2021. Actually, there seems to be little new. The FBI has a web page on its site dated September 8, 2021 , only eight monthd after the incident, that includes nearly all the information about the suspect that media claims to be "new" in the latest release. This includes still shots from the video and essentially the same description as in the renewed appeal, including, The person who placed these bombs wore a face mask, glasses, a grey hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and black and light grey Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow lo...

I check Real Clear Politics twice a day for a take on the conventional wisdom. What's odd today is that nowhere in the list of headlines does the word "shutdown" appear. On the other hand, near the top of the list, there are two big think pieces on the No Kings demonstrations, which appear to be among the biggest non-events in history. But isn't the current government shutdown a much bigger dog that isn't barking? Curious, I asked Chrome AI mode, "How is trump polling in the shutdown?" Normally, "AI" prefaces its response with a couple of paragraphs to let me know the correct way to think about the question, but this morning, it just listed a bunch of headline links without comment: Newsweek: Donald Trump Is Winning the Government Shutdown, Polls Suggest Reuters: Trump's approval edges up despite Americans blaming Republicans for shutdown The Hill: Trump approval ticks up despite GOP shutdown blame: Survey CNN: Could ...

I'm seeing very little commentary on the shutdown that takes into account what we've been learning about Trump. First, as we've seen with the Hanas deal, little pieces of an overall strategy fall into place over a period of months. The June B-2 raid on Iran's nuclear facilities was seen as an isolated episode that was maybe even ineffective. By October, it began to be recognized that it was a big enoujgh blow to Iranian power and prestige that Iran's neighbors could agree to pressure Iran's client Hamas into a peace deal. By the same token, the shutdown is just one part of an overall domestic strategy to break down the current structure of the Democrat party. Several things are working to his advantage: Democrat leadership figures are simply aging out: Nancy Pelosi is 85, already retired as Speaker, still retaining her House seat, but increasingly frail. Bernie Sanders is 84, still vocal only because there are no credible younger replacements who aren...

BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi SNAPS at OUR Reporter - Points in Her Face and Hurls Insults When our reporter pressed @SpeakerPelosi on why she refused National Guard support on January 6th, she lost it - pointing in her face, yelling “Shut up,” and accusing her of pushing “Republican… pic.twitter.com/nXxKJaq6Gz — LindellTV (@RealLindellTV) October 15, 2025 Speaker Emerita Pelosi's "Shut up!" outburst against a reporter got a great deal of attention last week, but what struck me was how well it reflected the detective Philip Marlowe's remark, "From thirty feet away she looked like a lot of class. From ten feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from thirty feet away." In the clip above, with the well-tended hair framing sunglasses, she very briefly looks much younger, until she turns and angrily croaks, revealing every one of her 85 years. The other thing I noticed was that she now has blonde highlights in her hair. This seems to be new, along...

A headline at Breitbart: Boomers Be Wildin’! Furries and Geriatrics Take Over D.C. During ‘No Kings’ Protest : The “No Kings” protests have returned, and with that the Democrat geriatrics have as well, but this time with furries alongside in the trenches! Then there's this tweet from Marion, NC: This is the "No Kings" protest in Marion NC, about a 30 minute drive from Asheville NC. The crowd that showed up is BEYOND PARODY at this point... ...literally every single person at this protest is retired and white Honestly, I've never seen anything like it. pic.twitter.com/fqSU8pOGUR — Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) October 18, 2025 This story at Colorado Public Radio suggests the furries at the Portland protests have caught on with the public at large: Thousands of Coloradans gathered in cities large and small on Saturday to voice their opposition to the Trump administration as part of a nationwide network of protests called “No Kings.” The name i...

A point I've been making about Trump, especially in his second term, is that he isn't the implulsive, ego-driven guy the legacy media wants to make him, although I haven't seen even any alt media making a serious effort to portray him as an astute strategist. But clearly a bull-in-the-china-shop disrupter couldn't have worked out this past week's Gaza deal -- and let's recognize that he's also been eager to share credit for that with Secretary Rubio and his personal emissaries. This isn't a comic-book narcissist. But if there's method to the madness, what's his strategy for the shutdown? He seems over the past several weeks to have been concentrating on foreign policy; after the Gaza deal, he seems to have been renewing focus on Ukraine, while raising the level of harassment against Maduro in Venezuela. Over the same period, he's had little to say about the shutdown, other than consistently calling the Democrats "deranged" every ...

Yesterday it was reported , Billionaire Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker raked it in big in 2024, including more than $1 million while gambling in Las Vegas. A new tax filing released by Pritzker’s campaign on Wednesday, Oct. 14, shows the Democratic governor and his wife, MK, reporting about $10.7 million in adjusted gross income, according to the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times and NBC News. The filing also indicated that $1.4 million reportedly came from the Hyatt Hotels Corp. heir winning blackjack at a Las Vegas casino. . . . “I went on vacation with my wife, with some friends,” he said. “I was incredibly lucky. You have to be to end up ahead, frankly, going to a casino anywhere — it was in Las Vegas — and I like to play cards,” His campaign said the governor will be donating his winnings to charity. Several things jump out at me here. I'm not a tax expert; all I know about taxes is that my wife takes everything to an accountant before April 15 each year. But...
