What a democracy. You vote against Israel but they still get to control your party.

Obama CIA Chief John Brennan's Son Arrested On Child Porn Charge: Report​

View attachment 222801

According to a sworn affidavit entered into court on Friday, the FBI's review of Brennan's iPhone "observed approximately 88 images that appeared to depict minor girls, including prepubescent girls, engaged in sexually explicit conduct."

The affidavit also describes an image of a female toddler, and another of a pubescent girl whose wrists and ankles were bound and whose mouth was gagged.

The criminal complaint was signed by a Virginia judge on Friday, and Brennan was scheduled to make his first appearance in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia later in the day. The FBI executed a search warrant on his personal cell phone Thursday night, according to a law enforcement source cited by the Mail.

If convicted, Brennan faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 20 years in federal prison.

Police reports say the iPhone was obtained during a traffic stop on July 24, 2024 - but the investigation wasn't referred to the FBI until Oct. 2, 2026, more than two years later.

The arrest comes one week after the US attorney overseeing the Justice Department's so-called "grand conspiracy" probe resigned without bringing a single charge. Jason Reding Quiñones, who ran the Southern District of Florida, stepped down on Nov. 6, days after the midterms, after DOJ leadership reportedly admonished him in private meetings over his lack of progress.

Democrat Jonathan Tomkins has officially flipped Alaska's governorship. Democrats now hold 30 governor's mansions to the GOP's 20 after the 2026 elections, flipping six governorships in a single cycle.

What's even crazier is that because Democrats now govern many of the country's largest states, more than 75% of Americans appear to live under Democratic governors. That's one heck of a blue wave!!!



The infamous Lauren Boebart fled Colorado's 3rd District for the supposedly safer 4th District, one of the reddest seats in the state and a district that Trump won by about 18 points in 2024. She figured the move would protect her seat. Instead, she lost the election anyway. Looks like when the blue wave gets big enough, even the lifeboats start taking on water.

An amnesty for all 20 million illegals is too much but I think for half of them should be fine. They are already living here, integrated and paying taxes. Closing all the illegal immigration loopholes used by people and businesses is key and a lame duck Trump working with a Democratic Congress can finally accomplish this. I hope Miller does not sabotage any immigration deal.

Just make work visas easy for agricultural workers and laborers. All the work visas were gobbled up by educated folks like immigrant doctors, engineers, tech workers in the last 40 years , forcing the foreign laborers to work illegally.

I get where you're coming from on wanting a practical fix, though that 20 million figure is really just a Republican talking point. Even then, there's zero political appetite for sweeping amnesty right now, at best, maybe Congress makes work status permanent, for tax-paying DACA folks with no criminal record.

On the farm labor part, agricultural workers actually have their own separate seasonal visa category (H-2A), so white-collar visas aren't blocking them. We use it all the time in my state for apple season. They fill jobs Americans aren't taking, make good money, and go back home afterward. Pretty solid setup already!
