"While in the desert, the co-conspirators took steps to begin construction of the devices, including unloading the bomb-making materials (e.g., precursors, PVC pipes, and fuses) from their cars and beginning to assemble the materials on a table; constructing a tent to keep the bomb materials shaded from the sun; wiping down the interior of one of the PVC pipes," the complaint stated, adding that FBI agents intervened before they could complete the assembly of a functional explosive device.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli identified the individuals at a Monday press conference in Los Angeles as Audrey Carroll, 30, Zachary Aaron Page, 32, Dante Gaffield, 24, and Tina Lai, 41.



If that is anything like Northern Virginia, there would have been several illegals sharing that home.
They're pretty dense around here too, for example in East Palo Alto. Incredible numbers of cars parked everywhere, because so many people are crammed into the houses and apts.

Democrats trying to figure out a way to complain about President Trump cutting the price of pharmaceuticals for Americans.

Addendum as this continues:

Trump is planning to restore America's MERCHANT MARINE. Long overdue!


Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story headlined, “Trump Administration Orders Nearly 30 U.S. Ambassadors to Leave Their Posts.” The Times had no idea why Trump did it, but even without any inkling, still found the reassignments intolerably cruel. Oh, it had some idea: “They are all foreign service officers who had been appointed to their positions by the Biden administration.” ...
Take a deep breath. They aren’t fired. The ambassadors were just recalled to the states, albeit quickly (within the next few weeks). Still, that’s enough to produce progressive hysteria these days. Whatever Trump does is terrible.
Out here in the real world, we plebeians work “at will,” which means we can be fired or reassigned for any reason or no reason at all (apart from race, sex, age, or disability). Our bosses can order us to report to any office they need or want, and if we don’t like it, we can quit and find a new job. But Democrats seem to have built themselves a neat little utopia —tenured federal jobs without bosses— and they don’t like it when anybody messes with the formula.
Well, I like it. I think elite federal workers should work under the same rules as the rest of us. And I love what this ‘mass recall’ suggests about Trump’s 2026 plans, which once again, he’s keeping under his Santa hat and not previewing to the corrupt media.
What a difference an Administration without leaks makes.
Nothing has annoyed the DC elite more than Trump’s project to rebrand the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Yesterday, local Washington affiliate NBC-4 ran a decidedly non-jolly story headlined, “Protest held against renaming Kennedy Center after Trump in DC.”
Lawsuits are already underway to stop President Trump from adding his name to the iconic arts venue. But the signage was already installed before they even knew it was coming:
What they hate even more than Trump’s name being affixed to the historic building is the change in the Center’s programming. The Center’s new president, Rick Grenell, announced at the beginning of the month that Jesus would be front and center for the December programming. A live nativity has been installed there ever since, which is literally the worst thing the libs can imagine, apart from the gas station clerk rudely wishing them “Merry Christmas.”
For decades, Democrats have enjoyed the Kennedy Center’s relentlessly woke, secular holiday programming, which is focused more on sexual diversity than the reason for the season. That has now ended, with progressives gritting their teeth and aiming to wait out the Trump term till they can get back to the type of entertainment they love most: transgender midgets in cross-dressing elf costumes. But with Trump applying his name right to the building, he’s telling them the changes are here to stay, an very unmerry insult added to their terrible injuries.
By the way, the “protest” mentioned in the article’s headline was only around 100 people, and it was organized by a disgruntled ex-employee, Mallory Miller, who was fired in August. One suspects the small group was all former Kennedy Center staff and their close relatives. They need to move on.
The bottom line: Christmas is back. It is even back in the Nation’s capital, which is looking less and less godless all the time. It’s a true holiday miracle.

It was a Christmas miracle! This morning, the Wall Street Journal’s lead story was headlined, “The U.S. Economy Keeps Powering Ahead, Defying Dire Predictions.” Here is the Trump 2.0-era media narrative template: First, the media criticizes President Trump for his economic policies, his unprofessional communications style, and exhaling. The media diligently avoids even the appearance of bias by just quoting Scrooge-like ‘financial experts’ who predict that, as a direct result of President Trump’s policies, especially tariffs, ten thousand babies will die horrifically from measles, instead of being aborted first.
But then, disappointment. Babies stubbornly cling to life and Recessions fail to rear their ugly heads. Instead, the economy surges, unexpectedly, and the experts suddenly discover new and even more complicated economic theories proving that the surprisingly strong financial performance is mostly a mirage. “Bah, humbug,” the experts say.
Then, just go back to square one —criticize everything Trump does— and repeat. As Ross Perot used to say, It’s simple! Nothing to it.
The truth is, despite experts’ anti-heroic efforts, we’re outperforming the entire European continent, including Germany, Britain, France, Lithuania, the Maldives, various Christmas markets, and the Rock of Gibraltar. “The U.S. economy continues to power through,” the Journal began, “defying widespread expectations of a slowdown or even a recession, and blowing past other developed countries.”
Whoosh! “What was zat, herr ubergrupenfloffer?” “Zat was America! It blew right past like a rocket-powered zeppelin!” Or something like that.
While ze Germans are burning their yard furniture for heat, Americans are shopping for Christmas gift deals and generally acting like the economy is robust. True, Americans might not like the hangover of Biden’s high prices, but we are powering through and paying them.
“Americans continue to spend,” the story explained simply. And not just a little. And it’s not just consumers. Businesses and investors spent, too. “The mood among the business community and investors is definitely bullish,” said Rebecca Patterson, an economist quoted in a story from yesterday’s New York Times , which was headlined:
U.S. Economic Growth Surged in Third Quarter of 2025
Gross domestic product grew at a 4.3 percent annual rate, faster than the previous three months.
