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.
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.
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.
Earlier today President Trump signed some executive orders relating to control of the federal workforce and measures to combat foreign import trade manipulation. During the event President Trump gave an update on the Washington Mall reflection pool that is nearing completion. At the conclusion of the signing, President Trump takes questions from the press pool. [Prompted]

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. WATCH:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared before the Senate today to discuss the Treasury budget appropriation and respond to questions.
Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner could not contain himself and used his time on camera to question Secretary Bessent about something far away from Bessent’s sphere of influence. Warner began physically shaking and grasping for words to describe his outrage, his apoplexy and fury at the audacity of President Trump to appoint Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence.
The first half of this segment is glorious.

Not since Matt Gaetz nomination to AG have we seen such fits of apoplexy coming from within congress to the interim appointment of a cabinet member in an ‘acting’ capacity. Forget the sand, the gears of government are reacting to an iron wrench in their machinery. It’s awesome.
They’ve already threatened to withhold FISA-702 reauthorization, and if we get lucky, they’ll threaten to eliminate the income tax. (more…)
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:

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.
California republican candidate Steve Hilton feels good about his position so far while the Associated Press reminds everyone that in California the results change for days and weeks depending on the ballot stuffing within the highly corrupt voting system.
The manipulation of elections is so brazen, they don’t even try to hide it anymore. AP writes the warning: “California has a history of substantial vote updates after election day that can sometimes shift the outcome of elections as late-arriving mail and drop-off votes are counted.” {source}
