John Bolton CONFESSES in court he stole government secrets
in stunning reversal… and begs for no jail time
…He pleaded guilty on Friday to a single charge of retaining classified information - a significant update in his criminal case, and one that may help him avoid a lengthy jail sentence.
Under the terms of the deal, Bolton could serve up to 60 months, or 5 years, in prison in exchange for his guilty plea. He may also be required to pay a fine of up to $2.25 million and serve 100 hours of community service.
Prosecutors said Friday that Bolton 'abused his position of trust' as former White House national security adviser by sharing roughly 1,000 pages of classified information in the form of 'diaries' with his wife and daughter.
Bolton then retained the documents related to national defense at his home in Montgomery County, Maryland, after leaving the White House.
Asked if agreed with that version of events, Bolton asked to have a moment with his counsel before responding: 'Yes, your honor, the summary is accurate.'
Bolton pleaded guilty to Count 12 of his federal criminal indictment, which accused him of retaining national intelligence information.
The plea deal is a significant reduction from the maximum penalty he could have faced if his case went to trial. Bolton was indicted last fall on 18 counts and, if convicted, could have faced decades behind bars.
He is accused of sending more than 1,000 'diary-like' entries to his wife and daughter during a period between 2018 and 2019, including classified information and information from intelligence briefings and meetings with foreign officials. …

Pelosi’s would-be successor [Scott Wiener] faces radical reality of Bay Area voters in heated confrontation
The leading candidate to win Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat faced a grilling at the hands of a pro-Palestinian activist at a busy establishment in San Francisco’s Mission District.
A viral, three-minute clip shows an unidentified agitator berating California state Sen. Scott Wiener, who advanced to the November general election for California’s 11th congressional district with 41% of the vote over Pelosi-endorsed Connie Chan.
The man calls Wiener, who is Jewish, a “Zionist” and repeatedly demands that he say “Free Palestine.”
“There’s innocent children being killed in Palestine, and you’re gonna come here like it’s good, but you’re pushing that genocidal agenda as a Zionist bro,” the man says.
“Free Palestine,” he shouts. “Say Free Palestine right now on camera, dog. Say it!”
In the clip, Wiener sits awkwardly without responding as the man continues to pepper him with accusations and demands that he say “Free Palestine.”
Wiener previously stopped short of calling Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide,” but changed course in January after refusing to call out Israel during a debate.
“For those of you who saw the debate clip from last week, I want to clarify that I do believe Israel has committed genocide in Gaza,” Wiener said at the time. “To me the Israeli government has tried to destroy Gaza and to push Palestinians out. And that qualifies as genocide.”
Wiener will face off against Chan, a San Francisco supervisor, in the November election. Chan has also called Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide.”

U.S. Congressional candidate Scott Wiener was harassed by a Free Palestine activist. 🇺🇸
Scott, who is Jewish, had changed his stance on Israel, parroting the typical Free Palestine rhetoric, in order to get easy votes.
It turns out, to nobody's surprise, that he still isn't spared from falling under the "Zionist" label that the Free Palestine crowd uses.

President Trump Delivers Remarks at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's 2026 Policy Conference

Donald J. Trump
I will be speaking at 1:30 P.M. to The Faith and Freedom Coalition, and one of the Statements I will be making, perhaps the most important of them all, concerns the recent Election of Communists in our Country. Communism is very easy to sell. I’d be the Greatest Communist in History. I’d give free rent, free houses, free food, everything is free. Unfortunately, after two or three years, the Country where this is taking place would fail. It always does, and then you’ll start living in squalor. There will be no food, there will be no housing, there will be no Military, there will be no nothing. You’ll be Third World every way, and everyone will suffer or die. I’m sorry to say, but Assassinations of those who oppose them is a very important element of their Ideology. They’re animals! In many cases, not smart but, in some cases, they are. It’s easy for them to get followers because they make promises that they know they can’t keep, and the Dumocrats aren’t fighting back. In many ways, they’re allowing them to go their own way. They’re afraid they will lose their Election, they’re afraid of conflict. They’re not smart enough or tough enough to fight this plague. If they fought them the way they fight Republicans, or me, they’d be victorious, but they don’t have the courage to do so. These are not social Dumocrats, these are hard core, godless Communists. This is the most serious threat to our Country since its existence 250 years ago. Isn’t it ironic, we’re celebrating a very important Birthday, and instead of speaking about Christ, Freedom, and Victories of all different kinds, we’re speaking about yet another threat to the Foundations of America. These ruthless Communists will attack all Religions but, in particular, Christianity – They always do. All Communist Countries attack Religions violently. As you know, we recently struck Nigeria, and largely ended the slaughter of their Great Christian population. They know that if they go further, the attack will be far greater and, in that, they don’t want to get involved. I am saving Christians throughout the World, even though we are not in those various Countries, by hitting these Terrorists violently and hard. They will close your Churches, they will kill your people. This is what they’re about. This is the Greatest Threat to our Country since its Founding 250 years ago! President DONALD J. TRUMP
