North Carolina MAGA Congressman Mark Harris on Friday told Fox Business News viewers that Thursday’s indictment of former FBI Director James Comey – which came five days before the five-year statute of limitations expired on a charge of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice over his testimony to the Senate about events that had happened more than three years before that, was questioned internally by officials including the Attorney General herself, and required the US Attorney to be fired and replaced by an insurance lawyer to make it to the grand jury which declined one of the three charges – is “probably just the first step” in a greater offensive against the “Deep State” that has been promised for years but was not delivered upon until about 15 hours ago.

“Authorities in 14 African countries have arrested 260 suspects and seized 1,235 electronic devices in a coordinated international operation against cyber-enabled crime. The crackdown targeted transnational criminal networks exploiting digital platforms, particularly social media, to manipulate victims and defraud them financially. Specifically, the operation focused on romance scams, where perpetrators build online relationships to extract money from victims, and sextortion, in which victims are blackmailed with explicit images or videos. During Operation Contender 3.0 (28 July – 11 August 2025), police identified IP addresses, digital infrastructures, domains and social media profiles linked to members of the scam syndicates,” says Interpol in a Friday statement.

“These leads and the subsequent arrests also resulted in the seizure of USB drives, SIM cards and forged documents, as well as the take down of 81 cybercrime infrastructures across Africa. Investigators identified 1,463 victims linked to the scams, estimating their losses at nearly USD 2.8 million,” the statement continued and damn, that seems kind of nickel and dime, right?

Considering the average would be $1,913 per identified victim and for all we know there could’ve been significantly more who remained unknown to authorities it’s possible the ROI on the scams was much lower. Either way, while $1,913 is not nothing and no doubt there were many scammed out of considerably more than that, these whole operations do not seem especially lucrative, especially given the amount of manpower involved. They nabbed 260 guys but who knows how many more got away and even if all were caught you’re looking at something like $11,000 per suspect pulled in during an undefined period of time, weighed down by a shit ton of overhead for 1,235 devices.

The old “crime doesn’t pay” rarely has been closer to true than in this stupid operation.

“Whether you like Corrupt James Comey or not, and I can’t imagine too many people liking him, HE LIED! It is not a complex lie, it’s a very simple, but IMPORTANT one. There is no way he can explain his way out of it. He is a Dirty Cop, and always has been, but he was just assigned a Crooked Joe Biden appointed Judge, so he’s off to a very good start. Nevertheless, words are words, and he wasn’t hedging or in dispute. He was very positive, there was no doubt in his mind about what he said, or meant by saying it. He left himself ZERO margin of error on a big and important answer to a question. He just got unexpectedly caught. James ‘Dirty Cop’ Comey was a destroyer of lives. He knew exactly what he was saying, and that it was a very serious and far reaching lie for which a very big price must be paid! President DJT” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, then following up with “JAMES COMEY IS A DIRTY COP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

The “words are words” is a nice touch and naturally a contrast with how the fat fuck said “With all the horrible things that are going on, I got indicted for calling a legal expense a legal expense… It’s been a political witch hunt. It was done to damage my reputation,” following his conviction of 34 counts of business fraud for interfering in the 2016 election with the Stormy Daniels payoff.

Finally, we have an Attorney General who believes in equal justice under the law. Great work from AG Bondi and her team!!!! 💪💪💪 https://t.co/TURFpkGQN3

Former FBI Director James Comey was actually indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on Thursday, ABC News reports. Look at Lindsey Halligan getting the easiest part of what only gets considerably harder from here on out done for the Big Orange Man in the White House.

Comey, 6 ft 9 inches tall and probably decent at basketball, faces one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice. A third count was rejected by the grand jury, though it’s not clear if this was over the “8647” seashells “death threat” post on Instagram, lol.

Also Donald Trump knew his now-dead friend Jeffrey Epstein was sex trafficking underage girls for years and indicting Comey will be a temporary at best distraction from that immutable reality.

Trump minion and apparently current White House official Peter Navarro called spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan a disappointment and completely useless in comparison to nonagenarian Chuck Grassley in the Senate, who Navarro said is “kicking ass and taking no prisoners.” Just gotta stop right there and point out that Pete’s right about the “taking no prisoners” thing because that very accurately describes the delta between the expectations of the MAGA freaks and the reality of the results of Republican Congressional investigations.

“I want to let you know that Microsoft has ceased and disabled a set of services to a unit within the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD). I know many of you care about this topic, and I share more about this decision below. Let me first provide some context. As I’ve said to you in recent weeks, Microsoft is not a government or a country. We are a company. Like every company, we decide what products and services to offer to our customers,” writes Microsoft President Brad Smith in a new blog post.

“As we publicly announced on August 15, we decided to undertake a review of allegations that appeared in an article published on August 6 by The Guardian about a unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). As we explained at that time, The Guardian article reported that ‘multiple individuals have asserted that the IDF is using Azure for the storage of data files of phone calls obtained through broad or mass surveillance of civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.’ We have reviewed The Guardian’s allegations based on two principles, both grounded in Microsoft’s longstanding protection of privacy as a fundamental right. As employees, we all have a shared interest in privacy protection, given the business value it creates by ensuring our customers can rely on our services with rock solid trust,” Smith continued in the better late than never update.

A Social Security Administration official tells CBS News that the agency is switching permanently to electronic payments next week, writing in an emailed statement that “We have been communicating directly with beneficiaries since July 1, and we have worked diligently to ensure that the less than one percent of individuals who receive paper checks have ample time to enroll in direct deposit or receive Direct Express cards. By moving to electronic payments exclusively, we aim to improve efficiency, security, and ensure beneficiaries receive their monthly benefits promptly.”

“We shall force all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. Praise be to Ba’al and the filthy swarm of zubaim the ride upon hith cursed breath,” the official did not continue but surely there were more than a handful of shall we say conservative-leaning beneficiares who heard that in the announcement.

Then plenty of others heard something similar because the Trump Maldministration and whatever remains of the DOGE incel crew could fuck up the recipe for a peanut butter sandwich.

Long story short, this guy Glenn Prager says that he investigated Dirty Jeff, found no evidence pointing toward convicted felon President Trump but there was plenty on Bill Clinton, that Epstein was definitely a CIA asset and it will soon be public knowledge, and that overall he was frustrated by the Orange God Emperor’s repeated instances that the entire story is a hoax.

Sources tell the New York Times that convicted felon President Trump has ordered no fewer than six different United States Attorneys’ offices to immediately investigate organizations funded by National Zero’s spiritual father, the infinitely wise and tenacious god-titan of democracy, liege of all who are free from autocratic oppression, champion of those who yearn to escape it, George Soros.

The florid language of the previous sentence was intended to match the serious of this one, lifted verbatim from the Times, who write that the memo they obtained “goes as far as to list possible charges prosecutors could file, ranging from arson to material support of terrorism,” emphasis added on the evidently self-serious aspirations that the Soros-linked groups should take as seriously as if Trump demanded a $50 trillion settlement in a civil complaint. Like stick some lawyers on the “case” to keep and eye on it but lol when the fuck is this going to get in front of a grand jury let alone a petit one in a criminal trial? “The memo suggests department leaders are following orders from the president that specific people or groups be subject to criminal investigation,” the Times writes.

Jesus Christ, maybe just leave that out of the next article. Better to let this shit speak for itself than painfully grind out that tapioca pudding merely hinting at what’s fucking obvious to everyone.

In related news, CNN reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi has some “concerns” over whether the reich is going to be able to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey and is skeptical that they can land an indictment in the next five days, while ABC reports that career prosecutors have warned new EDVA US Attorney Lindsey Halligan that a grand jury will likely return a no true bill.

Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Education Ryan Walters on Thursday tendered his resignation from the post, apparently finally having taking the hint conveyed to him repeatedly by other leading Sooner State Republicans to get the fuck out after he managed to make them look bad in comparison with his constant dumbassery, KCCO reports. Walters, whose exit ramp seems to be leading some far-right educational non-profit, is leaving just over halfway through a term whose lowlights included a blatant scam to buy up millions’ worth of copies of convicted felon President Trump’s stupid MAGA Bible, requiring mentions of race excised from lessons on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, hiring fucking Libs of TikTok as an advisor, a 2023 tweet heavily implying he thinks the “T” in “CRT” stands for “transgenderism” and not “theory,” and being accused of watching porn during an executive meeting of the state Board of Education, raising further suspicion by getting really defensive about it and falsely claiming he’d been exonerated, and then being legitimately exonerated when it all turned out to be a bizarre mishap caused by Samsung’s insistence on giving customers 5,000+ channels of filler content free with every purchase of a smart TV.

It’s anyone’s guess what the actual final straw was to get Walters to hit the road and get a job with whatever slush fund hired him. Maybe it was the porn incident or when Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, who has zero actual experience in federal education policy but used to be the CEO of a fake fighting circus, disinvited Walters to an event last month. Would be interesting if that disassociation did it rather than the association like that a close ally was a gay pornstar with the stage name of Jeff Rose before he got into the world of education-themed MAGA media.

“On Monday, September 22, 2025, under the direction of the Maritime Prefect of the Atlantic and the Public Prosecutor at the Brest Judicial Court, two French Navy vessels seized 9.6 tons of cocaine off the coast of West Africa. The National Directorate of Intelligence and Customs Investigations (DNRED) requested the intervention of the French Navy in order to exploit operational intelligence that it had collected in conjunction with the Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre (Narcotics) (MAOC-N), the Anti-Narcotics Office (OFAST) and the British National Crime Agency (NCA). The inspection teams of the vessels deployed as part of Operation Corymbe intervened on September 22, 2025, on the high seas in the Atlantic maritime zone on an unflagged fishing vessel.”

“Conducted off the African coast, the operation was initiated on the basis of Article 110 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Montego Bay), and concluded with the discovery of narcotics. A total of 9.6 tonnes of cocaine, with an estimated street value of nearly 519 million euros, were seized on board the ship,” said the French Atlantic Naval command in a statement.

That’s freaking crazy right? French naval personnel actually interdicted and boarded the boat to arrest the drug traffickers, seize their product, and verify they were in fact carrying narcotics instead of blasting them from a combat aircraft at an altitude of like 1,500 ft like they’re playing a fucking arcade game – and then having their president, with a straight face, telling a reporter that in video taken from that aircraft you can see drugs floating in the wreckage after the vessel was destroyed.

“This evening, the Secretary-General received correspondence from the Permanent Mission of the United States to the United Nations regarding events that transpired during President Trump’s visit to UN headquarters on 23 September. The Secretary-General informed the US Permanent Mission that he had already ordered a thorough investigation, and he conveyed that the UN is ready to cooperate in full transparency with relevant US authorities on this matter to determine what caused the incidents referred to by the United States,” says a Wednesday night statement from United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ office indicating that the Trump Regime are unhappy with the facts and want new ones so no stone will be unturned to make UN officials look busy until the fat fuck finds something else to focus his unceasing, Adderall-fueled rage upon.

Florida MAGA Congressman and incompetent home improvement hobbyist Greg Steube on Thursday morning was very angry about former FBI Director James Comey potentially getting away with what Steube called “treason” if the new US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia can’t draw on her experience in the insurance law sector to figure out how to make a charge of lying to Congress stick with a grand jury before the statute of limitations expires on Tuesday. Steube was also angry about how someone on Trump’s team fucked up the escalator at the UN earlier this week, calling the supranational body’s explanation that it was actually their fault insufficient.

“Wow!!! A just out poll has Jack Ciattarelli essentially beating close to incompetent Mike Sherrill in the race for Governor of New Jersey. Jack is tough on crime and cutting taxes, two things that people really demand today. He will be a GREAT Governor, and Sherrill wants Open Borders (again!), men playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender for everyone, and all of the things that almost DESTROYED America. She is a big supporter of the perhaps future Communist Mayor of New York City! We need Jack in New Jersey!!!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday, celebrating an Emerson/TheHill survey that found Dem Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (the fat fuck probably spelled it “Mike” on purpose) and 2021 Republican gubernatorial loser Jack Shittarelli (spelling that phonetically on purpose here) tied at 43 percent each, the first to find it closer than the 6 to 10 percent range lead for Sherrill outside of a lone internal GOP poll that put Shittarelli at +1.

Now to their credit Emerson pretty much nailed the 2024 presidential election putting Trump and Harris at a 49 percent tie in their final national poll while the swing states were all close to the margin of error. Which could mean they got their shit together since their very lengthy record of failures before then. That lowlight reel includes finding Dem Congressman Tom Suozzi +4 ahead of that Mazi Pilip idiot in the February 2024 New York 3rd special election, Suozzi won +8. In November 2023 they put Kentucky Attorney General Dan Cameron +1 over Dem Governor Andy Beshear. Then Beshear won by 5. In 2022 now-Senator John Fetterman was behind Mehmet Oz by 1 percent in Emerson’s final poll, then Fetterman won by 5. That Tudor Dixon dumbass was trailing Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer by 5 according to Emerson, Dixon lost by more than twice that. That Adam Laxalt dickbag was smoking Nevada Dem Senator Catharine Cortez Masto by 5. Then oops, she won in a squeaker and no, the above list is not at all comprehensive of the 2022 midterms.

Sources within Disney tell Bloomberg that they’re bracing for convicted felon President Trump to punish them for their decision to uncancel Jimmy Kimmel’s nightly show and while they’re confident they can win any challenge to their FCC broadcast licenses as well as what if any sort of action stemming from the fat fuck’s ridiculous threat that Kimmel’s show is “yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution,” future acquisitions by the quasi-sovereign megacorporation, such as a bid for the NFL’s in-house media assets, are expected to face friction from the MAGAlactic Empire’s army of fanatic zealots.

“Disney executives knew bringing Kimmel back would anger the president, who has been a frequent target of the comedian. But they felt they had to defend free-speech rights,” Bloomberg writes in the article and that one you might want to mull over for a bit to consider the obviously pretty fucking perverse incentive structure but also that it got turned around on them in the way that CBS/Paramount’s obviously didn’t before that Shari Redstone bag of shit cashed out big.

An Israeli government plane carrying dictator Benjamin Netanyahu to the UN General Assembly in New York City departing on Wednesday traversed the relatively narrow corridor of international waters over the Mediterranean, largely avoiding European airspace and adding as much as four to six hours on what’s typically a 12 hour-ish route in what CNN reports was obviously out of fear of interdiction and arrest on his war crimes warrant by nations party to the International Criminal Court.

While the flight did briefly enter Greek and Italian airspace, it entirely avoided French and Spanish territory. A typical Tel Aviv to New York flight would have traversed the entirety of continental Europe and provided ample opportunity for French, German, Dutch, or others to scramble fighter jets to force the plane to land and “Bibi” be met by cops taking him to the Hague to face justice.

In related news Wednesday’s Quinnipiac national survey found that a “plurality of voters (47 percent) think supporting Israel is in the national interest of the United States, while 41 percent think supporting Israel is not in the national interest of the United States, with 12 percent not offering an opinion. This compares to Quinnipiac University’s December 20, 2023 poll when voters 69 – 23 percent thought supporting Israel was in the national interest of the United States, and 8 percent did not offer an opinion. Twenty-one percent of voters have a favorable opinion of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while 49 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 28 percent haven’t heard enough about him.” Doesn’t sound like this is salvageable for the murderous son of a bitch.

In late summer of 2022 Lindsey Halligan was a 33 year-old attorney who, per a Washington Post article printed at the time, focused “on insurance claims at residential and commercial properties” and that “a search of federal court records found no filings under her name,” and nevertheless ended up on convicted felon President Trump’s legal defense team after meeting him at Mar-a-Lago.

One of the reporters on the byline of that story headlined “Trump is rushing to hire seasoned lawyers — but he keeps hearing ‘No’” from a week after the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, Josh Dawsey, is now at the Wall Street Journal and on Wednesday he and a colleague wrote up an article headlined “Justice Department Officials Race to Charge James Comey as Deadline Looms,” describing how Halligan, newly-installed as the acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, has now five days left before the statute of limitations expires on charging the former FBI director and seasoned federal prosecutor on some really fucking complicated theory that Comey lied to Congress during testimony about the 2016 election, the Russia investigation, and his abrupt 2017 firing.

So yeah, best of luck to Lindsey on that job of getting a grand jury to indict Comey before Tuesday while she gets settled in with overseeing prosecutions in a federal court district whose bailiwick includes the CIA headquarters – during a stretch where grand jurors seemingly are increasingly aware that they don’t actually have to indict the Trump regime’s enemies if they choose not to.

“I was wondering if I could get a picture with you.”
