Trump: Schumer Is A ‘Loser’ Using The Shutdown In A Bid To ‘Get Relevance Back’

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Wednesday addressed the ongoing government shutdown, calling Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a “loser.” “This is a Democrat Schumer shutdown and he’s trying to do it to get relevance back into the party because he’s a loser,” Trump said during an Oval Office press conference. The president added that he has known Schumer “all his life.” “He’s always been sort of a loser — but an intelligent one. I think he’s losing IQ points with time,” he continued. Trump said that he hopes not to follow Schumer down this path, but added that, if it did, he’s confident the media would be quick to report it. As of Wednesday, the government shutdown had entered its 15th day, with no indication of ending any time soon. In the afternoon, the Senate voted again to block the House-passed continuing resolution to reopen the government. The vote was 51-44. The resolution needs 60 votes to pass. Before the vote on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said if necessary, they would vote again on Thursday. There is growing speculation that the shutdown may not end until after the nationwide “No Kings” protests scheduled for this Saturday. The protest is reportedly described as a “peaceful national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.” House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News that Democrats are holding off until then, and he “can’t believe they’re actually doing this.” “They have a Hate America rally scheduled for Oct. 18 on the National Mall. It’s all the Pro-Hamas wing, the Antifa people, they’re all coming out,” Johnson said. “It’s being told to us that they won’t be able to reopen the government until after that rally because they can’t face their rabid base.”

‘We Need To Act Now’: JPMorgan Launches $1.5 Trillion Initiative To Reduce U.S. Reliance On China

‘We Need To Act Now’: JPMorgan Launches $1.5 Trillion Initiative To Reduce U.S. Reliance On China

JPMorgan Chase this week announced it will invest $1.5 trillion to reduce America’s reliance on China, with CEO Jamie Dimon cautioning that the United States has become “too reliant” on adversarial nations for critical supplies. Dimon, one of the most influential voices on Wall Street, unveiled the firm’s Security and Resiliency Initiative to combat this issue on Monday. Through the initiative, JPMorgan will invest up to $10 billion in four key areas: supply chain and advanced manufacturing, defense and aerospace, energy independence and resilience, and frontier and strategic technologies. “The U.S. has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products, and manufacturing — all of which are essential for our national security,” Dimon wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed announcing the initiative. “America needs more speed and investment,” Dimon wrote. “Our adversaries and potential adversaries aren’t waiting — we no longer have the luxury of time.” “We need to act now,” Dimon stressed. Currently, China produces 60% of the world’s rare earth minerals and performs up to 90% of the refining process to make them fit for everyday products. Smartphones, defense systems, batteries, and medical devices all contain critical minerals. Speaking on a press call, Dimon emphasized that this decision is a “JPMorgan initiative,” underscoring that it was developed independently of political or public-sector influence. While not structured as a public-private partnership, the effort aligns with the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce American reliance on foreign governments for certain essential resources. In an effort to counter China’s dominance in critical minerals, the Trump administration took equity stakes in three mining companies: MP Materials Corp, Lithium Americas Corp, and Trilogy Metals Inc. Public filings published by the Pentagon’s Defense Logistics Agency show plans to stockpile up to $1 billion of critical minerals, underscoring their strategic importance. Mining has not always been so politically favorable.

President Trump reversed that decision last Monday, citing that the project contains “extensive deposits of copper, silver, gold, lead, cobalt, and other strategic metals.” Biden’s original pause followed a Bureau of Land Management report warning that the project “would require over 3,000 stream crossings and could impact at risk wildlife populations, including sheefish, the already-declining Western Arctic caribou herd, and other subsistence resources.” During his first term, Trump faced backlash after finalizing plans for mining and drilling on national lands in Utah. At the time, Kamala Harris said, “We cannot allow national treasures like these get opened to logging, mining & oil drilling because of Pres. Trump.” Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) vowed during her 2020 presidential run to reverse Trump’s mining policies on her first day in office. “Climate change threatens every living thing,” Warren said. “On day one, I’ll do everything a president can do all by herself to fight this crisis: Roll back the changes that Trump is putting in place, stop all new drilling and mining on federal lands, and end offshore drilling.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said, “These public lands belong to all Americans. Opening them up to mining and drilling against the will of the people is unacceptable.” China’s metals and mining sector exceeded $10 billion in 2023, a 131% growth rate when compared with the same period last year. This year, China’s metal and mining sector reached new investment records, surpassing the previous record in 2024 in the first six months.

POLITICO Releases An Egregious Hit Piece And Many Republicans Are Falling For It

POLITICO Releases An Egregious Hit Piece And Many Republicans Are Falling For It

In just the past few months, conservatives have seen tens of thousands of Democrats openly celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk — just as they celebrated the murder of the United Healthcare CEO, and just as they celebrated the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. We’ve seen Antifa mobs surrounding ICE vehicles and assaulting officers, only for Democrats to order the local police to stand down. We’ve seen Democrats vandalize dozens of cars because of Elon Musk, only to suffer no criminal consequences whatsoever in states like Minnesota. We’ve seen Democrat politicians react to transgender mass shootings at Christian churches by defending the so-called “trans community,” rather than the Christians. We’ve also seen the entire Democrat Party rally around their nominee for attorney general of Virginia, Jay Jones, after he fantasized about the murder of children — specifically, the children of his political opponents. To this day, not a single prominent Democrat has called on Jay Jones to drop out of the race. In fact, the Democrats’ candidate for governor in Virginia, Abigail Spanberger, grinned like a sociopath when she was asked about Jay Jones during a recent debate. There are two conclusions we can draw here. First, Democrats are the party of political violence. They commit political violence all the time, and they celebrate it. Secondly, Democrats stick together. When Democrats are caught on camera attacking federal officers, or talking about killing children in text messages, the leadership of the Democrat Party doesn’t issue any kind of condemnation. They don’t call for anyone to lose their job. Instead, if they decide to say anything at all, Democrats will blame their victims. After all, their victims are “Fascists” and “Nazis.” They deserve what they get, in the eyes of the Left. In a political environment like this — if you can even call it a “political” environment — the only way for an opposing party to survive is to play by the Left’s rules. That’s not to say we should endorse political violence, or celebrate violence. But at the same time, we need to adopt a kind of wartime footing. We have to avoid unnecessary infighting. We can’t place a premium on “decorum” or “civility.” We have to start acting like a movement that’s going to be slaughtered — in the literal sense — if we don’t recognize the nature of our enemy, and unite in an effort to defeat them. Because that’s exactly the position we’re in. What we saw yesterday reveals that a lot of powerful conservatives, even after everything we’ve seen this year, are still somehow blind to this reality. In response to a hit piece published in the Virginia-based newsletter known as POLITICO, several conservatives lost their jobs and were condemned by various GOP organizations — including “The Young Republicans,” which bills itself as the oldest youth-focused political organization in the United States. They’re supposedly key to the Republican Party’s outreach to young people, which is obviously a critically important objective. And they just completely caved. I’m not going to quote extensively from the POLITICO hit piece, or use any of the conservatives’ names that are mentioned in it. Instead, I will point out the precise moment that everyone on the Right — from the party’s leaders on down — should’ve stopped reading this article. Here it is. It’s the headline. Screenshot: POLITICO “‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat.” This is the point where you close the browser window. End of discussion. When these people say there’s a “racist chat,” they have nothing. They define all conservative speech — every bit of it — as racist. That means that the accusation, coming from the Left, has no meaning. So if they’re not talking about a named political figure, and if they’re just going after nameless “young Republicans,” then you can close the window and save yourself the time. And indeed, if you continue reading for some reason, you’ll discover that this article is worse than useless. It’s about a bunch of college students and recent college graduates, in a private group chat, making edgy comments and dumb jokes. There’s a grand total of one guy who’s mentioned in this article who works in the Trump administration. And he didn’t make a single comment that POLITICO quoted. So they’re faulting him for, I don’t know, reading some random kid say “I love Hitler.” Actually, they’re not even doing that, because they don’t even know he read any of these messages. Here’s the claim that POLITICO makes in its article. At least one person in the Telegram chat works in the Trump administration … [He] serves as a senior adviser in the office of general counsel within the U.S. Small Business Administration. [He] did not have much to say in the chat, but he didn’t offer any pushback against the offensive rhetoric in it either. He declined to comment. This is the purest possible form of guilt-by-association. If you’re a member of a massive group chat, then according to POLITICO, you’re responsible for everything they say — across tens of thousands of pages of messages, over a period of seven months. And of course, within seconds, this became a Democrat Party talking point. Here’s Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.: This is some vile stuff. And these aren’t teenagers. Many are Republican staffers. At least one works for Trump. Yes, the guy who “works for Trump,” who didn’t say anything quoted in this article, is now being smeared as a racist who loves Hitler. That’s how this works. And by the way, buried around 50 paragraphs down in POLITICO’s article, you’ll find this line: Many of the slurs, epithets and violent language used in the chat often appear to be intended as jokes. Here’s one example of those jokes, as reported by POLITICO: Screenshot: POLITICO Someone in the Michigan Young Republicans says that he “had some back and forth” with a vice chair in Michigan, who told him that the current chair of the organization isn’t working out. But on the bright side, he says, “My delegates will vote for the most right-wing person.” So they’re excited about replacing the chair with someone who’s very right-wing. And then someone replies, “Great. I love Hitler.” And in response, someone replies with a laughing emoji. This is what POLITICO put in the headline of this article. They made it seem like there were serious discussions among young Republicans about how great Hitler is. But then when you read the context, they’re obviously joking with one another, using an extreme example for effect. It’s a bit like someone going to use a Porta-Potty or something, and coming back and announcing to his friends, “Wow, I really dropped an atom bomb in there.” No one who hears that is going to think, “My god. This guy endorses the use of atom bombs within the borders of the United States.” But if you take the remark out of context, and blast it in a headline in POLITICO, then you’re probably going to convince a lot of people that this person is a domestic terrorist who’s planting dirty bombs in public toilets. That’s why, in general, it’s a bad idea to take private jokes between a small number of people, and then publish them in a “news article.” As you read on in the POLITICO hit piece — which again, you shouldn’t — you get paragraphs like this. The private rhetoric isn’t happening in a vacuum. It comes amid a widespread coarsening of the broader political discourse and as incendiary and racially offensive tropes from the right become increasingly common in public debate. Last month, Trump posted an artificial intelligence-generated video that showed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero beside Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, whose fabricated remarks were about trading free health care for immigrant votes — a false, long-running GOP trope. The sombrero meme has been widely used to mock Democrats as the government shutdown wears on. So that’s the official position of POLITICO. They’re upset about the sombrero meme, which was objectively hilarious. They say it’s “false” that Democrats offer handouts to attract votes from foreigners, even though it’s clearly true. In fact, it’s their entire platform. This is the “news outlet” that we’re supposed to take seriously. And incredibly, some Republicans are taking it seriously. According to the article: Since POLITICO began making inquiries, one member of the group chat is no longer employed at their job and another’s job offer was rescinded. Prominent New York Republicans, including Rep. Elise Stefanik and state Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt, have denounced the chat. So has Ed Cox, the chair of the New York state GOP,  along with the North Carolina Federation of Young Republicans, the Republican Party of Arizona, the Missouri GOP, the Kansas GOP, and so on. All of these Republican organizations have condemned the young Republicans mentioned in the POLITICO hit piece. Additionally, the board of directors of the national Young Republicans group put out this statement. Credit: yrnational/Instagram.com Credit: yrnational/Instagram.com We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the POLITICO article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement represents. Those involved must immediately resign from all positions within their state and local Young Republican organizations. We must hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, respect, and professionalism.  – Board of Directors. This response is indistinguishable from the statements released by various Democrats in response to this story — none of whom have condemned Jay Jones for wishing death on the children of conservative parents. Chuck Schumer posted this statement for example, in response to the POLITICO hit piece: Sickening. Revolting. Vile. This makes you want to throw up. This is the kind of garbage that the worst kind of people say when they think nobody is watching. And where are Republican leaders from Trump on down condemning these comments swiftly and unequivocally!? I’m waiting to hear it. You almost have to stand in awe, and admire the sheer gall of a statement like this. He’s stating, in no uncertain terms, that Democrats can wish death on their political opponents, but conservative college students can’t make offensive jokes in a private group chat. That is his position. It’s the position of the entire Democrat Party. And until that changes, I don’t want to hear a single word from any Republican about how horrible these Telegram messages supposedly were. It’s not even worth saying, “Well, it’s inappropriate, but boys will be boys.” That’s giving these people far too much credit. Democrats have so degraded our civic discourse, and our civic life, to the point that Republican events now have to be held indoors with metal detectors, at every campus, because there’s a legitimate risk of a Democrat sniper on the roof. They want to kill us. They aren’t actually concerned about any of these jokes in the group chat. No one actually cares. They simply want to use every available method to destroy us. And they’re especially interested in destroying youth outreach organizations. That’s why they killed Charlie Kirk, and celebrated his assassination. They understood the threat posed by Turning Point. And they understand the threat posed by this Young Republicans group, as well. Democrats have realized they have a real problem with support among young people. They’ve managed to destroy one of their most reliable demographics, through their sheer insanity. And rather than address that problem by changing their policies, they’ve decided to start dismantling youth-focused conservative groups, with acts of terrorism if necessary. That’s how the Left intends on taking back the youth vote: By force. And in response, we need to defend young people from malicious attacks like this. JD Vance, to his credit, saw this hit piece for what it was. He immediately put out this response, pointing out that Democrats have embraced Jay Jones. This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence. pic.twitter.com/kV57Wq7BLG — JD Vance (@JDVance) October 14, 2025 Credit: @JDVance/X.com The Young Republicans of Texas put out a similar statement, hitting Jay Jones. That’s the only appropriate response when Democrats attempt to use our morality against us. Don’t apologize. Don’t fire anyone. Don’t give them what they want. You don’t have to be happy with this group chat. But realistically, if you want to defend against the Leftist onslaught against our lives and our freedoms, it’s your only choice. I’m not saying “two wrongs make a right.” I’m saying that we can either stick together, or lose everything. That’s the choice that Leftists have created for us. They’re waging a highly asymmetric war at the moment. In every case, they’re defending the most vile and overt corruption imaginable. They’re defending violence. When you’re up against an opponent like that, you simply cannot abide by any normal rules of political discourse, because political discourse has already broken down. We’re at the point where, every day or so, we learn of a new effort by Democrats to cover for one another. In fact, before this ridiculous POLITICO story broke yesterday, my first thought was to do an opening monologue on Letitia James, the Democrats’ flagrantly corrupt attorney general in New York. Here’s how the New York Times is covering the fact that she’s just been indicted, for falsely claiming that she was using a house in Virginia as her second home. This is the Times’ headline: In the Eye of a Political Storm, a Tiny Yellow House in Norfolk, Va. Attorney General Letitia James of New York purchased the $137,000 home for a grandniece who needed tranquillity. Prosecutors say it is an impermissible investment property. So they’re portraying Letitia James as a saintly figure, who purchased a home for a relative who “needed tranquility.”  Meanwhile, here’s how the New York Post is covering this same story. New York’s top law enforcer is housing a cop-hating fugitive relative with a lengthy felony rap sheet — who was twice arrested for assaulting police officers — at one of her Virginia homes, according to court documents.  State attorney general Letitia James’ grand-niece, Nakia Thompson, 36, is currently wanted for “absconding” from North Carolina after failing to complete the terms of her parole following a 2011 arrest in Winston-Salem, authorities said. … Thompson has also been repeatedly arrested and cited in Virginia, since moving there — with charges including possession of burglary tools, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and grand larceny. Oh. Well, that changes things a little bit. If you read the New York Times, you’ll come away with the impression that Letitia James is being prosecuted because she’s too thoughtful. She’s just too nice to her grand-niece, so the Trump administration wants to throw her in jail. And then you learn that, in reality, she’s harboring a wanted criminal. This is how the Left operates. Even when they commit crimes, even when they house criminals, even when they call for the murder of their political opponents — the Left circles the wagons. They put out stories that flagrantly lie about what’s happening. And they don’t even contemplate the possibility, even for a second, of admitting fault. They understand that Letitia James tried to bankrupt their primary political opponent, Donald Trump. And that’s all that matters to them. It’s all that matters to New Yorkers as well. Take a look at the reception for Letitia James at a Zohran Mamdani rally: JUST IN: New York Attorney General Letitia James raises her fist in the air after being criminally indicted for bank fraud. “We are here tonight because we are ready to turn the page on the cynical, broken, politics of the past,” she said at Zohran Mamdani’s rally. lol. pic.twitter.com/FFSLJupvtl — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 14, 2025 Credit: @CollinRugg/X.com Think about this scene for a second. This woman ran on a platform of taking down Donald Trump, by any means necessary. It was an obviously corrupt promise for a candidate for attorney general to make. But it resonated with New Yorkers, who wanted to see Donald Trump bankrupted and imprisoned. And then, ultimately, as we all know, Letitia James failed. Trump won the presidency, and he won the civil case. She failed to deliver on her one campaign promise, which was to abuse the power of her office for partisan reasons. And yet, despite her failure, the communists at this rally still worship her. That is what party loyalty looks like, on the Left. Even when you fail, if you’re a member of the party in good standing, they “have your back.” And as Letitia James said, she “has their back,” too. There aren’t many tenets of Leftism that the Right should adopt. But this is one of them. We shouldn’t be blindly loyal to political figures. We shouldn’t outright defend immoral conduct. We shouldn’t cover for criminal behavior like the Left does. But a basic level of unity, of having each others backs, is necessary. A unified movement will always defeat a fractured one. And if we’re going to become fractured over some jokes in a group chat, while our enemies openly commit crimes and celebrate murder, then we simply won’t last very long. The messages in that group chat were not a story. Even the Left doesn’t really think those messages were a story. If you’re on the Right, and you came to any other conclusion, then you’re a liability and you need to step aside so that someone — even someone who might make the occasional off-color joke — is able to actually lead and help us defeat our common enemy. One month after Charlie Kirk’s death, there’s no shortage of conservatives who want to meet this challenge. And regardless of what they think about us over at POLITICO’s headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, we should let them do it.

DEI-Focused Teams Hit Hardest In Mass NBC News Layoffs

DEI-Focused Teams Hit Hardest In Mass NBC News Layoffs

NBC News cut 7% of its workforce ahead of the split that will separate NBC from sister network MSNBC, soon to be known only as “MSNOW.” According to a report from The Wrap, the terminations hit the dedicated teams “covering issues affecting black, Asian American, Latino and LGBTQ+ groups” hardest. Some 150 employees were reportedly laid off. As The Wrap reported, the verticals that feature coverage about those issues (NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino, and NBC OUT) will still exist — and new stories will still be pursued and reported on — but the coverage will be spread out across the newsroom rather than provided by teams dedicated to those specific beats. The cuts represent about 7% of the 2,000 staffers at the NBC News newsroom, and about 2% of the broader company that also includes several local stations owned by NBC outright in addition to Telemundo. A report from Variety noted that the cuts could simply result in changing roles, as those who are being terminated will still have the option to apply for more than 100 different open positions across the news division. The coming NBC split will also see its parent company, Comcast, spinning off other networks from the main news division — networks such as CNBC and USA Network will all fall under the same brand, Versant. Other reports have also suggested that a similar fate — and a hefty round of layoffs — could be looming in the not-too-distant future for CBS News as well. The Washington Free Beacon noted over the summer that whether or not CNN faces more layoffs in the near future, it’s likely that some of the highest-paid personalities on the network could face pay cuts in the future. Among those mentioned most frequently were Anderson Cooper ($18 million annually), Jake Tapper ($7.5 million annually), and several others. Gayle King, who earns $13-15 million annually at CBS, was also mentioned as one who could potentially see her pay reduced.

Letitia James Is a Victim of Her Own Actions—Not a Trump ‘Revenge Tour’

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos. Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. The attorney general of the state of New York, Letitia James, has recently been indicted by a grand jury. She’s a chief law enforcement officer, remember, of the entire state of New York. And the charges are varied, but they can be boiled down to, she bought a property in Maryland, and that property she declared on a federal form to obtain a mortgage and various other considerations that would also state on taxes. She said that, in one case, would be her principal residence, and another case, she said that it would be, perhaps, a second home and not rented. And as early as 1983, she had applied for an income property where she, maybe mistakenly, but she wrongly described the property’s square footage and rooms as a rental. And more importantly, she allegedly put her father down as her husband in this 1983 application. So, all of this is coming to the fore, and she’s been indicted by the federal Trump Justice Department. And there’s been an outcry. And the issue is not, it doesn’t seem to me—she has never said that “I never, never, never made a mistake on these forms. I was always totally honest.” I think her lawyer said she made some errors, but they were insignificant. And by the way, if you’re the chief law enforcement officer and attorney general of New York, you should never be saying anything otherwise that you live in New York. That’s by statute. The attorney general must have her principal residence. There’s some indication that she waffled on that as well. So, what’s going on? The Left says this is President Donald Trump’s revenge tour. That if it was not Letitia James, but it was just some other person, the federal government probably would not have looked at it. That’s probably true. But on the other hand, Letitia James, who ran for the attorney generalship in 2018, ran expressively on a promise to get then-President Donald Trump. She even said, “I have my eye on Trump Tower.” And by 2022, when she ran for reelection, she ran on a promise to “get Donald Trump.” It was a racialized campaign. She mentioned his gender, the fact that he was white. She whipped up crowds. And she bragged to Al Sharpton that she was going to “get Donald Trump.” This was the chief law enforcement officer of New York. So, when she filed suit in the courtroom of Judge Arthur Engoron—a well-known liberal justice—she got a New York jury to convict Donald Trump. And it was an outrageous settlement. And at one point, the fine was $500 million, half a billion dollars. That was a crippling fine, and it was never heard of. And remember, when she did file the suit against Donald Trump, which was eventually challenged and at a higher court and all but thrown out, the gist of the case was that he had overvalued a real estate property and unlawfully filled out forms that inflated the value, even though the Deutsche Bank, who had issued the loan, had no disagreement about the value of the collateral property, had no problem that the loan was paid on time, if not early, and in full to the profit of the Deutsche Bank. So, there were no victims in this. No one was complaining. And yet, she pursued it. What can we conclude? On the one hand, let’s take the Left view, very quickly, that this is retribution, it’s tit for tat, and if we continue this cycle, we’re going to descend into a Third-World country status, where every time a particular party takes over the control of the White House, they’re going to punish their predecessors of the other party. That’s something that we should worry about. But on the other hand, we saw, with Alvin Bragg and Letitia James and Fani Willis and Jack Smith, a miscarriage of justice. We all knew that those charges that these four prosecutors filed, A, would’ve never been filed had Donald Trump said he was not going to run again. B, they will never be filed against any other politician, no doubt. And C, if Donald Trump just said that he was going to run, but he decided he was a RINO or he was left-wing and he agreed with Letitia James’ political views, he probably would’ve got off. He would never have been indicted. And you can diddle the same attitude from Judge Engoron. So, do you just let that all slide or do you look at what Letitia James has allegedly done? It’s just simply a question. Did she say something, in writing, on a form that was a lie? And did she do that as the attorney general of New York? So yes, they probably gave her inordinate attention, given what she had done in the past. But on the other hand, you give inordinate intention, not just to your political enemies that have hurt you, but more importantly, to high officials. If she was a campaign flack, if she was the head of the Democratic National Committee, it would be one thing. But the attorney general of New York is the chief law enforcement officer of a huge and important state. And she’s gotta be above suspicion. And the irony, isn’t it, in many of the commentaries about this indictment, people are using the very words that she used to remind people that Donald Trump should not be above the law. There’s a final question, and that is: How do you end it all? How do you end tit for tat or lawfare against Democrats or Republicans? Do you just allow all of these things that went on, or do you remind the Left that everybody is human, and if you really do want to fabricate charges, you better be above suspicion? Because, unlike Donald Trump’s Letitia James indictment, this is not involving anywhere the amount of financial loss in her case. But it’s a clear-cut case. She either lied on forms or she didn’t. If she did, she’s culpable. And she should be prosecuted and convicted—if she’s culpable. In the case of Donald Trump, I don’t think anybody, Left or Right, thought that he had done anything wrong. In fact, some of the properties that he listed were more valuable than even he listed. So, is it when somebody does a wrong, do you forget it and just say, “Let’s move on,” because if we don’t move on, we’ll enter a cycle of ruinous tit-for-tat lawfare? Or do you say, “We’re going to hold people responsible who broke the law”? And yes, we’re gonna give inordinate attention for those who wage lawfare. But we’re going to stop it and remind people: Don’t do it. Not because we believe that they’re moral or that they’re virtuous, but because there will be deterrents. And if they know—they being people who use lawfare—that if they were to do it again, it will boomerang, just maybe, just maybe, it would stop. We publish a variety of perspectives.
