John Bolton Pleads Guilty — Faces 60 Months In Jail, $2.25 Million In Fines

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – John Bolton, the famously hawkish former National Security Advisor who spent years lecturing everyone else about national security, has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge for mishandling classified documents.

Bolton served as NSA under President Trump during the first administration before being dismissed in September 2019. He then wrote a tell-all book titled “The Room Where It Happened,” which is actually where this whole mess began, investigators first took interest in Bolton back in 2020 after determining he used classified information to write the memoir. Nothing says “responsible steward of national secrets” quite like turning them into a book deal.

The case goes considerably deeper than a single book, however. FBI agents raided Bolton’s home last summer after evidence emerged that he had been sending “highly sensitive” classified materials to his wife and daughter from a private, unsecured email server while working at the White House. The New York Post reported that “investigators reopened a dormant probe into Bolton’s alleged use of a private email to send classified national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work desk before his dismissal by Trump in September 2019, according to a senior US official.”

It gets worse. The New York Times previously reported that the U.S. government actually discovered Bolton’s classified emails while collecting intelligence from an adversarial country’s spy service. Read that again slowly. Foreign adversaries had access to John Bolton’s email activity. The man who built his entire career on being tough on America’s enemies apparently handed those same enemies a gift.

Documents previously released confirmed that Bolton stored classified information relating to weapons of mass destruction and the United Nations, not exactly the kind of material you casually forward from a personal account.

The Biden administration, in a move that surprised absolutely nobody paying attention, quietly shelved the investigation into Bolton. It took FBI Director Kash Patel, appointed under President Trump’s second administration, to revive the probe and order the raid on Bolton’s home. Bolton now faces up to 60 months in federal prison and fines reaching $2.25 million.

It is worth noting that Bolton was a fierce critic of President Trump and made no secret of his disdain after his dismissal. He campaigned publicly against Trump, gave endless media interviews, and positioned himself as some sort of moral authority on matters of governance and national security. The irony of that posture, given what we now know, is almost too rich to process.

Accountability has arrived for John Bolton, fashionably late, but here nonetheless.

The “Tolerant” Left: Code Pink Leader Assaults Rep. Anna Paulina Luna After Congressional Hearing

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Code Pink has been pushing boundaries for years, but now one of its top organizers has decided that political harassment wasn’t quite enough, and crossed into outright physical assault on a sitting member of Congress.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is a U.S. Air Force veteran and one of the more fearless voices in the House of Representatives. She is not exactly the type of person you want to pick a fight with. Someone should have warned the leadership of Code Pink about that before things got physical on Capitol Hill Wednesday.

Luna took to X to reveal that as she was leaving a hearing with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the top organizer of Code Pink approached her, launched into a harassment campaign, and then physically struck her arm.

“The head honcho of Code Pink here on Capitol Hill decided to try to harass me as I was leaving my hearing with Rubio and smacked my arm,” Luna stated. “I have no issues answering questions, but the moment you touch me, you cross a line.”

While Luna did not name the individual, all signs point to Medea Benjamin, the primary organizer and co-founder of Code Pink. Benjamin has a long and well-documented history of disrupting congressional hearings, confronting government officials, and generally making a nuisance of herself in Washington.

The assault reportedly followed Luna’s pointed questioning of Secretary Rubio regarding Code Pink’s well-documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party, a perfectly legitimate line of inquiry, given the organization’s track record of advocacy that consistently seems to align with Beijing’s interests. Asking uncomfortable questions about a communist-linked organization apparently set someone off.

Luna made clear she will be pressing charges, and rightly so. An assault is an assault, badge of political activism or not.

She also called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to ban Code Pink from Capitol Hill entirely.

That is a completely reasonable demand. There is no scenario in which an organization with known ties to a foreign adversarial government should enjoy unfettered access to the U.S. Capitol, let alone be permitted to physically accost elected officials in its hallways.

Code Pink routinely disrupts the functioning of the United States government while enjoying the very freedoms that government provides, freedoms that don’t exist in the communist nations they seem so fond of defending. The question now is whether Speaker Johnson and other officials will have the backbone to hold these people accountable. Charges should be filed and access should be revoked. Anything less sends exactly the wrong message.

WATCH: Principal Steps In To Stop Woke Valedictorian’s Stunning Anti-ICE, Pro-Palestine Graduation Speech

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – There’s a reason commencement speeches go through an approval process. Apparently, Clayton High School senior Leen Hijaz didn’t get that memo, or simply chose to ignore it.

Hijaz earned the honor of delivering her school’s commencement address in North Carolina thanks to her academic achievements. It’s a well-deserved privilege extended to students who demonstrate excellence. What it is not, however, is an open invitation to commandeer a graduation ceremony and turn it into a political soapbox. Someone should have explained that distinction beforehand.

According to The New York Post, Hijaz ditched her pre-approved remarks midway through her speech to launch into a rant against ICE and push pro-Palestine propaganda to a captive audience of graduating students and their families, people who showed up to celebrate an achievement, not sit through a political lecture.

“Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard,” Hijaz stated before going off script.

“Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan, and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak,” she continued.

As Hijaz pressed on — “My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent” — Principal Melissa Moore had heard enough. Moore walked directly onto the stage, pulled the microphone away, and escorted Hijaz off.

Good for Principal Moore. That took backbone, and frankly, it’s the kind of decisive leadership that’s been sorely missing in far too many American schools these days.

Hijaz, predictably, was not pleased. She later complained that she was only able to deliver half of her speech and, brace yourself, claimed she felt “oppressed.” Getting your microphone cut at a graduation ceremony you hijacked for unauthorized political theater is not oppression. It’s consequences. There’s a difference, and perhaps that’s the most valuable lesson she’ll take away from the whole episode.

Educators who enforce boundaries and protect the integrity of school events deserve support, not condemnation. Principal Moore did exactly what any responsible administrator should do when a student decides the rules don’t apply to them. Here’s hoping more school leaders around the country take note.

SICK: Kirkwood School Board President Caught Calling For President Trump’s Murder

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Kirkwood, Missouri, is one of those picture-perfect American suburbs that families dream about. Located roughly 15 miles west of St. Louis, the city holds the distinction of being the first planned suburb west of the Mississippi River, having been established in 1853. Parents flock there for its reputable school system, tight-knit community feel, and the kind of safe, wholesome environment where you’d expect school board leaders to, oh, I don’t know, support children rather than call for the murder of a sitting president.

Apparently, nobody sent that memo to Judy Moticka.

Moticka, the current president of the Kirkwood School Board, recently took to Facebook to post “8647” — a now-infamous coded call among the radical left to assassinate President Donald Trump. The number combines “86,” slang for eliminating someone, with “47,” referencing Trump’s status as the 47th President of the United States. It’s the same coded language used by indicted former FBI Director James Comey, who posted a photo of the number on social media.

The woman helping oversee the education of Kirkwood’s children publicly called for the killing of the President of the United States on social media, and had zero reservations about it.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt brought Moticka’s post to the public’s attention by highlighting it on X, ensuring voters and parents in Kirkwood got a look at exactly who is sitting at the head of their school board.

This is the state of modern left-wing leadership in America, people entrusted with shaping young minds who apparently can’t control their own. Parents in Kirkwood who believed their children were receiving a well-rounded, responsible education might want to take a much closer look at who’s running the show. Because nothing says “role model” quite like publicly endorsing political violence against an elected president.

Moticka’s post is deeply irresponsible and dangerous. At a time when there have been multiple actual assassination attempts against President Trump, this kind of rhetoric from a public official is beyond reckless. It’s the sort of behavior that demands immediate accountability.

The parents of Kirkwood deserve better. Their children certainly do.

30-Year Study: Trans Kids Given Gender Affirming Care Suffer SIX TIMES MORE Psychiatric Breakdowns

30-Year Study: Trans Kids Given Gender Affirming Care Suffer SIX TIMES MORE Psychiatric Breakdowns

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – A major 30-year study out of Finland has confirmed what common sense has been screaming for years: adolescents who identify as “transgender” end up with far more mental health troubles after “gender reassignment” procedures like irreversible genital mutilation surgery and hormone therapy.

The research, published in the medical journal Acta Paediatrica, tracks real outcomes instead of activist talking points. It stands as yet another body blow to the radical transgender movement, which keeps pushing experimental interventions on confused young people despite mounting evidence of harm.

The study itself points out the gap between hype and reality: “often suggested to be beneficial, even vital, for the mental health of adolescents suffering from GD [gender dysphoria], but the evidence supporting subsequent improvements in mental health, quality of life, or functioning is very limited.”

Researchers examined 2,083 individuals referred to gender identity clinics in Finland between 1996 and 2019, all under age 23 at referral, and compared them to controls. The results were stark. For some, especially young men identifying as female, psychiatric problems exploded afterward. “Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up, rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment.”

Even after adjusting for previous treatment, the risks remained sky-high. “After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls,” the researchers found.

In plain English, these kids already struggled with serious underlying issues, and the surgeries and hormones often made things worse, especially depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. The study concludes: “These adolescents had markedly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls before and after referral, with treatment needs often persisting and even intensifying after medical interventions — on some, they might even have a negative impact.”

This shouldn’t shock anyone with a functioning brain. We don’t let minors buy beer, cigarettes, or sign contracts because they lack maturity. Yet somehow the same crowd insists it’s enlightened to let emotionally unstable teens chop off body parts or start a lifetime of cross-sex hormones.

This Finnish data lines up with growing regret stories, like the New York case where a jury awarded $2 million to a young woman whose doctors rushed to remove her breasts at age 16. That verdict signaled the tide is turning against this medical scandal.

Conservatives have warned for years that this wasn’t healthcare, it was ideological experimentation dressed up as compassion. The left’s obsession with transgender ideology ignores biology and basic child protection. While they lecture everyone about “science,” actual long-term studies keep proving their approach inflicts lasting damage.

Parents and policymakers paying attention should treat this as a clear signal: protect kids from irreversible decisions they’ll regret. Real care means addressing root mental health problems, not mutilating bodies in pursuit of a fantasy. The evidence keeps piling up, and this radical experiment on our youth needs to end.

CALIFORNIA SHOCKER? Gov. Newsom Say’s He’ll Impose A “100% Tax” On Relief Payments To Victims

CALIFORNIA SHOCKER? Gov. Newsom Say’s He’ll Impose A “100% Tax” On Relief Payments To Victims

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – California Governor Gavin Newsom has once again shown exactly why so many Americans are fleeing his mismanaged state. He’s announced plans to slap a 100% tax on any California residents who receive payouts from President Donald Trump’s new $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund.

This comes after President Trump wisely dismissed a massive $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and instead set up the fund to “hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.” Let’s call this what it is: a long-overdue effort to help victims of the weaponized federal bureaucracy that plagued conservatives for years under the previous administration. Newsom, never one to miss a chance to punish Trump supporters, is fighting back the only way he knows how, by reaching into Californians’ pockets.

“Anyone from California that receives any of those funds we want to tax 100 percent of those proceeds,” Newsom told reporters during a press conference in his office, according to Politico. He dismissed the whole thing as a “slush fund.” The irony here is rich. California already struggles with sky-high taxes, homelessness, and businesses bolting for red states, yet Newsom wants to punish his own residents for accepting help against government abuse. It’s almost as if protecting citizens from federal overreach threatens the left’s favorite political tool.

Legal observers are calling Newsom’s scheme an illegal bill of attainder, an act that punishes specific people without a trial. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 of the Constitution explicitly forbids this kind of targeting. But when has the modern Democratic Party let little things like the Constitution get in their way?

This isn’t isolated madness. In New York, Democratic State Assemblyman Alex Bores introduced legislation to tax 100% of any funds received from the payouts. Bores is running to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler in Congress. In New Jersey, Democratic state lawmaker Sen. Andrew Zwicker is pushing a similar bill, calling the 100% tax a “brilliant counter to Trump’s corruption” in an interview with Politico.

President Trump defended the fund in a Truth Social post, stating it is to help people who have been “badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration.”

For context, this all traces back to the 2019 leak of Trump’s tax records during his first term. Former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn was sentenced to five years in prison in January 2024 after pleading guilty to releasing 15 years of Trump’s tax records to media outlets. The original lawsuit was filed by Trump against the IRS and Treasury Department in a Miami Federal Court in January 2026 over the alleged mishandling of that protected information.

Here’s the bigger picture conservatives understand all too well: the left spent years cheering the weaponization of government agencies against their political enemies. Now that President Trump is in office delivering actual justice and relief, blue-state Democrats are scrambling to block everyday Americans from receiving fair redress. It’s petty, vindictive, and reveals their true priority: power over people.

Newsom’s latest stunt will likely drive even more productive Californians to pack up and head to freedom-loving states. Meanwhile, President Trump continues proving he’s serious about draining the swamp and protecting citizens from the very abuses Democrats now desperately defend.

Antifa Riots Spiral Out Of Control As Police Rush In And Make Arrests At ICE’s Delaney Hall (VIDEOS)

Antifa Riots Spiral Out Of Control As Police Rush In And Make Arrests At ICE’s Delaney Hall (VIDEOS)

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – For months, Antifa agitators have been making life miserable outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey. They’ve harassed staff, blocked access, and generally behaved like the law didn’t apply to them. Turns out, all it took to end the circus was the right person picking up the phone.

Late Sunday night, New Jersey law enforcement moved in and swept up the Antifa rioters who had been staging their prolonged blockade outside the facility. The Department of Homeland Security wasted no time celebrating the result, posting a blunt message for anyone still thinking about trying their luck: “ZERO tolerance for rioters.”

Short, direct, and to the point. Someone in the Trump administration has clearly figured out how communication works.

DHS officials made clear they were pleased with the outcome, highlighting the successful shutdown of a protest operation that had been allowed to fester for far too long. The intervention, however, didn’t come from some sudden awakening of civic duty on the part of New Jersey’s Democratic leadership. It came because President Donald Trump’s homeland security chief, Markwayne Mullin, threatened to pull customs officers out of nearby Newark Liberty International Airport. Nothing motivates a Democratic governor quite like an economic consequence with her name on it.

That governor is Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat who took office earlier this year. To her credit, and this is not a sentence conservatives get to write very often about New Jersey Democrats, she ordered state police to clear the demonstrators once Mullin’s threat landed. The results were immediate and effective. The Antifa crowd was driven away from the detention center, and the operation produced what can only be described as lamentations from Antifa women who apparently expected a different outcome.

Sherrill’s decision was not universally applauded within her own party. Progressive groups and Antifa-aligned organizations howled in protest at the crackdown, while Democratic legislators reportedly responded with a quiet mixture of anger and acceptance. Translation: they were furious but smart enough to realize there was nothing they could do about it.

This is precisely how the Trump administration’s pressure campaign is supposed to work. When the federal government makes clear there are real consequences for enabling chaos, even reluctant Democratic governors eventually blink. Sherrill blinked. The mob dispersed. The ICE facility can now operate without running a daily gauntlet of radical protesters.

It shouldn’t have taken months of harassment and a threat to Newark’s airport to make this happen. But in the current political climate, a win is a win, and the message from DHS couldn’t be clearer: the days of Antifa operating as an untouchable street force outside federal facilities are over.

Trans Athlete’s High School Career Ends After Capturing TWO State Titles

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – The high school career of transgender athlete AB Hernandez came to a close Saturday night at the California Interscholastic Federation state track and field championship, and it ended exactly the way it’s been going for two years: with Hernandez on top, and a whole lot of uncomfortable questions left unanswered.

Hernandez claimed first place in both the girls’ high jump and triple jump, and third in the long jump. For those keeping score at home, that mirrors last year’s performance almost identically, when Hernandez won the triple jump and high jump state championships and finished second in the long jump. Consistency is a virtue, they say.

The CIF, apparently having learned nothing from the backlash of 2024, reimplemented the same pilot program from last year’s championships, awarding podium recognition to every girl who finished directly behind Hernandez.

The political theater surrounding championship weekend was something to behold. Democrat California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer appeared in a video with Hernandez on Friday morning. That same afternoon, Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton headlined a rally outside the preliminary round advocating for the protection of girls’ sports.

Saturday brought a press conference organized by LGBTQ advocacy groups Pride at the Pier and Rainbow Families Action, which devolved into a heated shouting match between Hernandez supporters and “Save Girls Sports” activists. Clovis Police Department vehicles were parked nearby, and officers responded when the confrontation escalated. It eventually fizzled out without arrests, which, given California’s track record, might actually be considered a win.

Now that Hernandez’s high school career is officially over, California faces a reckoning it has been aggressively avoiding. The U.S. Department of Justice is currently suing California education agencies over policies permitting transgender athletes to compete against biological females. Hernandez’s own school district, Jurupa Unified, is under active investigation by the Department of Education.

The biological girls who trained for years, hoping to stand atop that podium, deserved better. Fortunately, the federal government seems to agree, even if Sacramento doesn’t.

Spencer Pratt Is Keeping California Democrats Up At Night — And Honestly, Good

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – The last person California Democrats expected to lose sleep over is Spencer Pratt, the former reality television personality from MTV’s The Hills. Yet here we are, and the political establishment in Los Angeles is starting to sweat through their organic cotton shirts.

Pratt has spent the past several weeks doing something the city’s entrenched Democratic machine convinced itself was flatly impossible: making incumbent Mayor Karen Bass look genuinely vulnerable. Conventional wisdom held that a candidate with no governing experience, running as an independent in one of the most reliably blue cities in America, had zero realistic path to victory. Conventional wisdom, it turns out, failed to account for just how thoroughly fed-up Los Angeles voters actually are.

The fundraising numbers tell a story that should have Bass’s team stress-eating at their desks. Between April 19 and May 15, Pratt’s campaign raised roughly $2.7 million. Over that same stretch, Bass pulled in just $282,000. Bass has been raising money since 2024, with a total haul of approximately $2.8 million. Pratt nearly matched her entire war chest in less than a month. The two candidates are now separated by less than $100,000 in cash on hand, Pratt sitting on roughly $1.42 million, Bass on approximately $1.32 million. Not exactly the position an incumbent mayor expects to be in heading into a primary.

Then came the polls, which showed Bass leading by only single digits, meaning Pratt could very realistically advance to a runoff. In a city where Democratic registration is so lopsided that Republican candidates don’t even bother showing up on general election ballots, that’s a five-alarm fire.

The Democrat establishment heard the message and responded with their go-to panic move: a Gavin Newsom endorsement, issued just five days before the June 2nd primary. Newsom praised Bass for what he called “an 18% decline in homelessness while it grew nationally, historic drops in violent crime, boosting film production in L.A., and protecting our communities against ICE,” adding, “She has my full support for reelection.” The timing of that endorsement reeks of desperation, and everyone knows it.

Pratt was thoroughly unimpressed. He fired back, calling Newsom and Bass “alleged criminal partners” and connecting them to both the catastrophic January wildfires and the city’s bottomless homelessness crisis. “It’s not shocking because their alleged criminal partners, not only did they work together in their negligence and burning down 7,000 houses and 12 people alive, but they’re both complicit in laundering, what, 24 billion dollars to actually increase homelessness,” Pratt said.

Challenging Newsom’s homelessness statistics directly, Pratt stated, “Those are not real numbers. Anybody with eyeballs in the state of California or Los Angeles knows that there has not been a reduction in one homeless person. Actually, there’s been an increase of naked drug addict zombies in front of every kid’s playground, every kid’s school, every coffee shop.”

He capped it off with: “They both should be in jail together.”

A runoff now appears likely. November will be a referendum on whether California’s progressive one-party disaster can survive a direct confrontation with its own results. The polls say the Democrats have reason to worry. Spencer Pratt is making sure of it.

Billions Recovered! Trump Says Vance’s Crackdown On Fraud Could Save Social Security

Billions Recovered! Trump Says Vance’s Crackdown On Fraud Could Save Social Security

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Here’s a concept that apparently never occurred to Washington politicians for the past several decades: before you start talking about cutting benefits for American seniors who spent their entire working lives paying into the system, how about first going after the criminals who have been stealing from those seniors?

Radical idea, we know.

President Donald Trump is making exactly that case, and he’s backing it up with action. During a Cabinet meeting this week, Trump highlighted the work of Vice President JD Vance and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, crediting the initiative with uncovering tens of billions of dollars in fraudulent government spending in just a matter of months. The administration is already stopping suspicious payments, prosecuting fraudsters, and exposing waste burrowed throughout federal programs.

Trump was direct about the priority order. “Instead of talking about taking benefits away from Americans who paid into the system their entire lives, we’re focused on stopping the fraud that’s draining taxpayer dollars,” he said.

That is a message every conservative, and frankly every American with a pulse, should be able to get behind enthusiastically.

The task force itself was established through an executive order Trump signed in March, with Vice President Vance serving as chair. It brings together representatives from a remarkable range of federal agencies, including the Departments of Treasury, Justice, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, Labor, Education, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, and more. The mission is straightforward: identify and eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse across federal benefit programs by strengthening eligibility verification, improving data sharing between agencies, implementing pre-payment controls, and going after the criminal networks that have spent years treating taxpayer-funded programs like their personal piggy banks.

Vance credited the early success to something that sounds simple but has apparently been beyond Washington’s capabilities for generations: getting federal agencies that historically operated in their own separate silos to talk to each other and coordinate their efforts.

The initiative got an additional boost this week when the General Services Administration announced it would formally join the task force, pledging to bring its expertise in federal contracting, technology, procurement, and oversight to help identify fraud and tighten accountability across government operations.

Trump was measured in his claims, stopping short of suggesting that fraud elimination alone will permanently resolve Social Security’s long-term financial challenges. That’s an honest and responsible position, the program’s structural issues are real and will require serious long-term solutions. But recovering the billions currently being stolen is an absolutely essential first step, and it’s one that delivers immediate, tangible results for American taxpayers.

For years, the Washington establishment’s answer to every entitlement funding question was some variation of “we need to cut benefits or raise taxes.” Trump and Vance are proving there’s a third option that nobody in power seemed particularly motivated to pursue, stop letting criminals walk off with the money in the first place.

Better late than never.
