ain't no party like a january 6th party for kisti noem (plus ''general hospital')

there is no accountability in the trump era.  criminals get away with everything.  because a criminals' in the white house. s.v. dale ('huffington post') reports:


Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appears to have had in her entourage during her visit to Portland, Oregon, this week a Jan. 6, 2021, insurrectionist who days earlier had, according to a court document, told a friend, “We need a war bro… This country will never stop being soft until another big event happens.”
David Medina, whose criminal charges against him were dropped thanks to a pardon from President Donald Trump, has posted a series of videos on social media showing off his access to Noem, including one in which he appears to be riding in a van designated for “STAFF.”
[...]
Medina in 2024 was charged by federal prosecutors in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol that was stoked by Trump by weeks of lies that the 2020 election had been stolen from him, and finally by an incendiary speech on Jan. 6 in which he urged his thousands of assembled followers to march on the Capitol and told them they would lose their country if they did not “fight like hell.”

Video taken by a journalist at the Capitol that day shows Medina stating: “We were normal, good, law-abiding citizens and you guys [the government] did this to us. We want our country back.”

here's the u.s. attorney's press release on him from feb. 16, 2024:

Defendant Allegedly Smashed Wooden “Speaker of the House” Sign
            WASHINGTON — An Oregon man has been arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges related to his conduct during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election.

            David Medina, 34, of Sherwood, Oregon, is charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with a felony offense of obstruction of an official proceeding.

            In addition to the felony, Medina is charged with several misdemeanor offenses, including destruction of government property, entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

            Medina was arrested today in Portland, Oregon, and made his initial appearance in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.  

            According to allegations in court documents, Medina was present on the Capitol grounds and part of a larger group that unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. Medina was identified in open-source images and video footage standing in a hallway outside of the entryway to the office of the Speaker of the House and appears to be slamming a wooden sign affixed above the Speaker’s office, which read “Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.” in an attempt to break it.

            Medina is then seen standing next to rioters who are holding up pieces of the shattered wooden sign with partial lettering visible, spelling “of the House” on the top line, and “Nancy P” on the lower line. The lettering appears to correspond to the previously affixed sign above the Speaker’s office.

            Medina was also identified in open-source images and video footage inside the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, waving an ornate American Flag with golden fringe mounted on a wooden pole with a golden eagle on the top. Court documents say that the flag appears to be a ceremonial indoor flag that was likely taken from inside the U.S. Capitol. Medina then left the Rotunda carrying the flag with him.

            Court documents say that Medina also appears to make light of his participation in the riot. On Aug. 23, 2023, a social media user tagged Medina in a post on X (formerly Twitter), which included a picture of him waving the flag inside the Rotunda, stating, “lol this u, David?” To which Medina replied, “Yes it is. #FBIsFavoriteCitizen”

            The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting this case. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon provided valuable assistance.

            The FBI's Portland and Washington Field Offices are investigating this case. The U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department provided valuable assistance.

            In the 37 months since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,313 individuals have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, including more than 469 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, a felony. The investigation remains ongoing.


you know who to blame for all of this?  merrick garland.  hideous idiot.  and barack was pulling a dumb one when he nominated merrick for the supreme court.  if he'd gone with a real leftist, people would have cared.  they would have forced the republicans in the senate to hold confirmation hearings.  but to put all that effort into a lukewarm namby pamby?


ok, 'general hospital.'  an e-mail from rob noted an article saying people hated ronnie - the character erika slezak is playing.  that article was based on one comment on social media.  you read the article and some people like slezak.

the article also didn't note that the ratings were up on erika's episodes. i'm not surprised.  she's a brilliant actress and provides a real spark.

the idiot attacking erika was actually an idiot all around. she's whining that michael should have gotten the quartermaine mansion.  

and he will at some point, idiot.  this is a soap opera.  conflict has to take place.

erika is doing a guest spot.  she's supposedly already finished filming all of her scenes.  so she's not going to be on that long.  but a soap opera requires obstacles.

and while it's one thing to get involved in the storylines, it's another thing in the bright light of day to go online and start whining because something bad happened to the character you love.  if nothing bad happens to them, they really aren't much of a character.  

what do you think that idiot says about dr. marlena evans?  deidra hall's character on 'days of our lives' has been tortured for decades on 'days.'  they even had a possession story at 1 point.  that's what they do to characters who are major characters.  

so in yesterday's episode, ronnie stopped the search of the quartermaine mansion - that she was left in monica's will - by pointing out that the address was wrong.  anna got a new warrant and came back.  edward quartermaine's gun was not on the premise.  was it ever there?  did jason, michael or tracy grab it between the attempted search and the actual search.

no 1 knows.  

every 1 (including jason) except for tracy was telling ronnie to move in, that it was her home now.  tracy started screaming about contesting the will and michael told her he was the 1 who was thought to be inheriting the mansion so he'd be the only 1 who had a right to contest it but what he wanted to do was to honor his mother's last wishes.  

carly was on and making it clear how important she still is to the show.  i'm serious.  carly, sonny, alexis, jason, etc are so needed.  anna's granddaughter emma can act - the actress playing her.  as can the actor playing gio.  that's why they work as a couple and why they work on the show period.  but i would honestly fire a number of people if i were producing the show.  they look alike and they can't act.  

let's close with c.i.'s 'The Snapshot:'


Thursday, October 19,2025.  Attorney General Pam da Bimbo Bondi disgraced herself Tuesday as she repeatedly lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee -- lied -- intentionally lied -- she prepared her 'zingers' ahead of time, wrote them down on paper and flipped through her papers throughout the hearing to find her prepared lies.  This wasn't just lying, this was premeditated.  She was under oath.  She broke the law and did so intentionally. 



We're going to pick up with The Bimbo Bondi and her outlandish appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.  First, apologies and clarifications.  Senator Adam Schiff is an attorney.  Covering the hearing yesterday, I noted her crazed behavior but didn't go into all of her claims because she seemed to be lying.  We're going to cover some of that now. I thought I noted when she was screeching at Senator Adam Schiff that he wasn't n attorney.  It might have gotten cut for space.  But she was screeching at him and distorting the law and claiming he didn't understand the law because he was not an attorney.  

I did not realize he was an attorney.  Nancy's been my Representative in the House forever and a day.  In the primary for Senate, I was for Katie Porter.  I was fine voting for Schiff in the general election and he has exceeded my expectations so applause and praise for him; however, I did not know his story.  I'm not the only one.  Pam da Bimbo Bondi didn't know that either.  Nicole Charky-Chami's RAW STORY article entitled "Stetson grad Pam Bondi scoffs at legal knowledge of senator — who went to Harvard Law" is where I learned of it.  

So if she had any integrity -- we know she doesn't -- she would apologize immediately.  But she doesn't care.  She just lies.  And she came prepared with her little book of lies that she could not speak without consulting.  She lied.  She lied repeatedly.  


Need another example, Alexander Willis (RAW STORY) reports on this exchange

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) put Attorney General Pam Bondi on notice Tuesday after she made the misleading claim that the senator “stormed” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a news conference in June, a stunning incident captured on video where Padilla was forced to the ground and handcuffed.

[. . .]

“You know, you want order in here now, yet you stormed the director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem!” Bondi said. “You sure didn't have order that day, did you, Senator?”

“Attorney general, you are under oath!” Padilla fired back. “I did not storm the secretary.”


That's the thing about dirty little whores.  They lie and they mean to.


I should have known that Adam's an attorney since he's one of my two US senators.  But it's not like I accused him of not being one.  Bimbo came to the hearing with her attacks prepared ahead of time, which is why she was flipping furiously through that huge book/binder in front of her throughout.  She planned every attack ahead of time.  So she should have known her facts.


But she doesn't care about facts.  


She lied bout Adam and she lied about Alex.


She deliberately lied while refusing to answer questions.  Grasp that. She wasn't going to talk about Homan, she wasn't going to talk about this or that.  But she made time to talk about when federal goons attacked Alex?  And she lied about what happened.

She's an Attorney General who lied about the physical attack on a US senator -- that's what she did.  She's not fit to be an attorney general and we damn well don't need any lectures from her bout how to speak in public when all she does is lie.

She's a damn liar.  An elderly woman with nothing to point to.  She's sixty next month.  No kids.  Two failed marriages that combined almost lasted six years.  Career wise?  She's taken actions that can land her in prison and should; however, right now we can just term her a professional disgrace.


Guess she's nothing but the lonely spinster when it comes to work, in love with the boss, pining for him and going home to her empty and barren life each night.


Steven Benen (MADDOW BLOG, MSNBC) notes:


As Schiff documented, Bondi refused to respond to all kinds of legitimate lines of inquiry, including:


whether the attorney general consulted with career ethics lawyers before approving a $400 million gift from the Qatar (a country she was a paid lobbyist for);

what role she played in asking that Trump’s name be flagged in the Jeffrey Epstein files;

whether White House border czar Tom Homan took the $50,000 from undercover FBI agents in the runup to the 2024 election;

whether career prosecutors found insufficient evidence to charge former FBI Director James Comey;

whether Bondi discussed the Comey indictment with Trump;

how the administration concluded that military strikes against civilians in international waters are legal;

whether Bondi approved the firing of antitrust lawyers who disagreed with the Hewlett Packard merger;

whether she supported a fund for violent insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6;

whether the Justice Department had fired career professionals because they worked on Jan. 6 cases;

and whether DOJ employees should have to abide by court orders.

In effectively all of these instances, the attorney general could’ve offered substantive answers. She instead attacked senators for asking good questions she didn’t like.



Pam made many charges and they also seemed baseless so we weren't exact in her claims.  I noted I had a cold -- that's why Ava and I aren't worrying about a piece at THIRD this week.  And I talked about menthol on my resonators.  Shirley said a ton of e-mails asked what resonators are.  Hum.  When you did that just now the vibrations went to a space -- where depends on if you were humming a low note or a high note.  They're basically cavities, like the chest, the nose the areas above or right on the eyebrow, etc.  They're what give our voices color and they're what tend to fill up with snot when we have a cold.    She attacked Senator Sheldon Whitehouse over someone she claimed he had donated to his campaigns.  Alexander Bolton's "Senate Democrat: Bondi campaign contribution accusation ‘simply isn’t true’" (THE HILL) notes that Whitehouse has his staff research his claim and, no, he had not accepted donations from the man she claimed (Reid Hoffman).  

She came in and she knowingly and repeatedly lied.  Senator Alex Padilla reminded her she was under oath but she kept lying.  James Comey is being targeted by Pams and Chump and he didn't lie.  But Pam went and deliberately lied and did so over and over.

 

Maybe if she'd stop lying and do her actual job of protecting the American people, ICE wouldn't be harming people? 


 

 

She needs to face charges.

 



For over four hours, Trump’s former personal lawyer hit Democrats with what sounded like cheap opposition research. She called Sen. Adam Schiff of California “a liar” and “a failed lawyer” and asked him to “​​apologize” to the president for his work as an impeachment manager during Trump’s first term.

Bondi also baselessly claimed that Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island took money from one of Jeffrey Epstein’s “closest confidants,” and she accused Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut of lying about his military record.

I served in the Senate and participated in many oversight hearings during my time there, and I’ve never seen anything like what we witnessed during Bondi’s testimony on Tuesday. I’ve never seen that kind of behavior from any witness, much less the sitting attorney general of the United States.

It was a shocking, ugly and frankly embarrassing display, but it wasn’t Bondi’s behavior that really stunned me. What truly shocked me is that no Republican on the committee, not even Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, spoke up when the attorney general of the United States spent the entirety of her questioning period with Democratic senators screaming, refusing to answer, and targeting them with ad hominem attacks.

 Claire is 100% correct.  

 



Bondi committed crimes in her testimony -- lying under oath is a crime.  These were lies.  She wrote them down ahead of time.  She read them from the page in front of her.  She intended to lie, premediated before the hearing came to order.

She was a joke and she looked as crazed and idiotic as Elisabeth Hasselbeck back when THE VIEW allowed Elizabeth's crazy to run free. 

 




That's fine but I was actually talking about that after the hearing with an Epstein survivor.  Bondi is a pedophile protector.  She enables it.  So, in the eyes of the law, that makes her a pedophile. There's nothing passive about her actions.  Pam Bondi has worked to bury the Epstein documents and she's watched -- if not enabled -- as Chump rewarded convicted pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison that a pedophile belongs in to "Camp Fed" in Bryan Texas.  So I think we can all her a pedophile.  I don't think it's stretching.  She's helping with the crime, she's covering up and that makes her an accomplice to the crime.

She repeatedly refused to answer questions about Tom Homan and the $50,000 dollars -- as though the public has no interest in nor right to know when a US official is taking bribes?  


This issue is not going away.  Lisandra Gomez-Tate (2PARAGRAPHS) reports:


Ryan Crosswell, a former attorney in the Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section, where he investigated public officials accused of abusing their power, appeared on CNN (below) and wrote: “I spent years prosecuting bribery cases at the DOJ. When a bag of cash changes hands, it's a solid case. But under Trump's DOJ, friends like Tom Homan get protection, opponents get prosecution.”
According to Crosswell, he resigned from the DOJ in March after he was “pressured to drop a case against a politician charged with corruption because he was a political ally of Donald Trump.”

(That politician was New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was indicted in September 2024 on charges of bribery, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations. In February 2025, the charges were dismissed by the U.S. Justice Department. Note: Adams dropped out of the 2025 mayoral race in September.)
Crosswell told Erin Burnett on CNN: “The most galling part about it is Pam Bondi has the audacity to say nobody is above the law. But we know that’s not true. Eric Adams is above the law. Tom Homan is above the law. And apparently anyone contained in the Epstein Files is above the law.”



Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are escalating their investigation into the Trump administration's handling of bribery allegations against White House border czar Tom Homan, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Democrats have seized on the allegations, which Homan and the White House have denied, as part of their anti-corruption message against President Trump and his team.
Senate Democrats grilled Attorney General Pam Bondi on the topic at a hearing Tuesday.
She said the Justice Department found no evidence of wrongdoing but did not say if Homan returned the purported $50,000 bribe, Axios' April Rubin reported.
Homan said in a Fox News interview last month he "did nothing illegal" and told NewsNation the reports were "bullsh*t," with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying Homan "never took the $50,000."
Driving the news: In a letter to Associate Attorney General Edmund Woodward, a group of House Democrats led by Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) wrote that Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel "failed to answer" their initial letter on Homan last month.

"We write now to follow up and demand that you answer fundamental questions," they continued.
"Who knew about the Homan cash bribery scandal, when did they know it, and why was Mr. Homan appointed 'Border Czar' even in the face of such damning evidence of his taking bribes for government contracts?"
Zoom in: The lawmakers noted that Woodward led the vetting of potential candidates for administration jobs as part of Trump's 2024 transition team.


 

She didn't want to talk Epstein either.  Unless it was a Republican senator asking the question. Isaac Schorr (MEDIAITE) notes this exchange:


KENNEDY:  I’ve got to ask you about this, general. Secretary Howard Lutnick on October 1 gave an interview to The New York Post about Mr. Epstein. And he described Mr. Eppstein as, quote, “the greatest blackmailer ever,” close quote. Have you reviewed that transcript of that interview?

BONDI: I have not reviewed the transcript, but I saw the clip of it.

KENNEDY: Okay. It appears that Secretary Lutnick was Mr. Epstein’s next door neighbor. In fact, their townhomes shared a wall. And the reporter that was talking to Mr. Lutnick, she asked how other prominent men could have been associated with Epstein when Mr. Lutnick could immediately sense that he was a quote “pervert.” And then Secretary Lutnick said, or rather the reporter said, “Did they see it and ignore it?” Do you remember that from the interview?

BONDI: I do.

KENNEDY: And Commerce Secretary Lutnick said, “No, they participated.” And then Commerce Secretary Lutnick goes on to say, quote, “That’s what his MO was. You know, get a massage, get amassage. And what happened in that massage room, I assume was a video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever, blackmail people, that’s how he had money,” end quote. Is that true?

BONDI: Senator, as our July memo said, we did not uncover

evidence. This case has gone through three administrations, as well as former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta-

KENNEDY: I know, I know, I know that, Pam! But have you interview Secretary Lutnick?

BONDI: No, Senator.

KENNEDY: Do you plan to?

BONDI: If he wants to talk to the FBI or the FBI wants to talk to him, that is more than on-

KENNEDY: Don’t you think you ought to talk to him after this interview?

BONDI: Senator, if Howard Lutnick wants to speak to the FBI, and if Director Patel wants to speak to Howard Lutnick, absolutely.

KENNEDY: Okay. Maybe we ought to get Mr. Lutnick in here too, Mr. Chairman.

 


Chump causes the shutdown and continues it in part to cover up for his involvement with pedophiles Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
