CAUGHT: Comey’s Wife Texted Him Meaning of “86” Minutes Before His “86 47” Beach Stunt

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry posted a damning update to the Jim Comey “86 47” beach story on Friday.

According to Paul, there is evidence that Jim Comey’s wife Patricia sent him a Google screenshot of a non-violent definition of the term “86” two minutes before Comey posted his infamous rock picture of “86-47” on Instagram.

Paul Sperry: BREAKING: An FBI affidavit for a search warrant in the James Comey presidential threat case reveals his wife Patrice Comey sent him a Google screenshot of a nonviolent definition of the term “86” two (2) minutes before Comey posted the alleged threat against President Trump, indicating some forethought his posting could be construed as a threat.”

86 is a common street term for murder. Comey and his wife thought they were being cute.

Comey was also one of the leaders along with Barack Obama and John Brennan who decided to run a coup against the US President during Trump’s first term in office.

James Comey posted his threatening ‘8647’ Instagram post last May.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said.

THAT WAS FAST: Seattle’s New Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson Already Facing Recall Effort

Seattle’s new socialist Mayor Katie Wilson took office a little more than six months ago and is already facing a recall effort.

In July, she faced real scrutiny from the press when she fired the city’s police chief following a shooting. She was also in the news for urging trans ‘refugees’ to come to the city for taxpayer funded care.

There’s no telling whether or not the recall effort will work. It’s not easy to remove an elected official from office unless they’re facing real criminal charges.

FOX 13 in Seattle reports:

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson recall charges: What to know

Two people in Seattle have filed a recall charge against Mayor Katie Wilson, alleging she has “neglected her legal duty to maintain public safety and peace.”

The recall comes amid a slew of city controversies, the latest being the continued fallout from the deadly Bite of Seattle shooting, and the forced resignation of Police Chief Shon Barnes.

Melinda Jacobson and Dale Osterud filed the paperwork with the King County Elections Office on Tuesday, Aug. 11, alleging that Wilson is “derelict in her duties for public safety” of the City of Seattle.

The recall charge points to five specific events: the forced resignation of then-Police Chief Shon Barnes, shootings and sex trafficking in the North Aurora neighborhood, crime and drug use in the Chinatown International District, crime in Belltown and the deactivation of CCTV cameras for police use around the city.

The filing outlines safety issues across several Seattle areas, including North Aurora, Chinatown International District, Belltown and Third Avenue.

In North Aurora, residents reported sex trafficking, prostitution and gun battles putting bullets through homes and businesses between January and June. Neighbors installed temporary gunfire barriers that the mayor had removed on June 6, though SDOT later placed trial barriers after a June 30 meeting.

Socialism Simplified: A System Where Government Uses Your Money To Solve Everyone Else’s Problems

They are coming for your money, and they have a ton of momentum right now. Democratic Socialists are winning election after election by promising free stuff, but of course free stuff is never actually free. Somewhere along the way, someone has to pay for it. If you find yourself protectively reaching for your wallet as you read this, I don’t blame you one bit. Socialism is a system where the government uses your money to solve everyone else’s problems. Unfortunately, it is also a system that is becoming increasingly popular among our young adults.

In a previous article, I noted that a poll that was taken in 2025 found that a whopping 62 percent of U.S. adults under the age of 30 now have a positive view of socialism.

That should chill you to the core.

Meanwhile, Americans view capitalism less favorably than they once did…

  • Fewer than half of Americans say capitalism is working even “somewhat” well — down from 60% about a decade ago, according to a June Wall Street Journal-NORC poll.
  • 61% of Americans said they were bothered “a lot” by the feeling that the wealthy don’t pay their fair share in taxes, per a Pew Research Center poll in January. That included 41% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents.
  • The same poll showed another 60% overall — and 42% of Republican-inclined voters — said the same about some corporations paying their fair share.
  • And views of big business went from 19 points positive in 2012 (58%-39%) to 25 points negative last year (37%-62%), according to the Gallup data.

This is crazy.

So why is this happening?

Well, the truth is that a large portion of the population is very frustrated with the economy.

The rising cost of living has been absolutely eviscerating the middle class, and many young adults consider homeownership to be completely out of reach because home prices are so absurdly high.

When someone comes along and starts promising all sorts of free stuff in this very harsh economic environment, it can be very seductive.

But if the Democratic Socialists of America were actually able to implement their entire agenda on the federal level, it would more than triple federal spending…

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) propose new spending that could more than triple federal outlays. They propose the government pay for health care, housing, higher education, and electricity. Jobs are government-guaranteed, retirement benefits are expanded, paid family leave is universal, fossil fuels are eliminated, and reparations are paid.

The DSA platform claims that the bill for all this will be sent to “the richest individuals and corporations.” Tally up that bill, and it ballparks between $71 trillion and $212 trillion in new spending over the next decade. Confiscating every dollar of high-end wealth and corporate profits would cover only a fraction of those costs. The DSA agenda necessitates high taxes on middle-class Americans.

If you took every penny from every billionaire in America, that would only account for 8.4 trillion dollars.

So where is the rest of the money going to come from?

Federal Prosecutors Investigate Political Firm Owned by Daughter of Crooked Judge in Trump’s Hush Money Trial

Federal prosecutors are investigating the firm once owned by the daughter of the crooked judge who oversaw President Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan.

Juan Merchan was the far-left, conflicted judge who oversaw Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial against President Trump.

The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign.

Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.

According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.

The New York Times reported that the US Attorney’s Office in Chicago subpoenaed Authentic Campaigns Inc for internal communications with Democrat clients.

The subpoena initially asked for communications from the Biden and Harris campaigns, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and the DNC, according to The Times.

Former Democrat Activist Explains How the Party Got Captured by the Radical Left

Evan Barker is a former Democrat activist who broke with her party following the 2024 election. She recently wrote a book about it and has been making the media rounds for the last few weeks.

During a recent appearance on FOX News, she offered an explanation for how the Democrats became captured by the radical left.

According to Barker, when the Democrats repeatedly blocked Bernie Sanders from being the party nominee, the activist base of the party doubled down and began organizing with their own networks and donors. In other words, the Democrat Party did this to themselves.

From FOX News:

A former Bernie Sanders operative is sounding the alarm over what the Democratic Party has become, warning the far left has “overtaken” the party from within.

“Part of the reason it’s been overtaken is because the establishment tried really hard in 2020 to block us, and in 2019, after AOC won, they did a blacklist, and that actually backfired on them. And it made the far left grow stronger,” Evan Barker told “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

Barker, who raised money for Democratic candidates throughout her career before deciding to vote for Trump in 2024, argued that the Democratic establishment’s efforts to contain its insurgent flank ultimately backfired, pushing activists to build their own political infrastructure, from training one another to recruiting donors, including billionaires.

The result, Barker argued, is a party increasingly influenced from the inside by its activist base, donors and staffers, some of whom she says are considerably further left than the politicians they work for.

“I think they’ve kind of been captured from all sides. They have these hyper-left-leaning donors coupled with the staff that’s been radicalized and the base,” she said.

Barker said she has watched that shift play out even within the movement she once joined, pointing to Sanders’ positions on issues, including guns and immigration.

“I’ve seen him kind of be dragged further and further to the left by what he views as his message bearers, people like AOC and Ilhan Omar and now Abdul El-Sayed,” she added.

This Might Be the Most Brutal Diagnosis of AOC You’ll Ever Hear

Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox News’s The Five this week and gave a blunt yet extremely fair assessment of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.): she’s not actually doing her job.

“AOC stands for Always On Camera,” Conway said. “She is a performer, not a reformer. She went to Washington to legislate; that’s her job. She’s a pontificator, not a legislator.”

Conway piled on by pointing out that, in four years under President Joe Biden, AOC passed one bill. One. Conway’s point was simple: if you’re not good at legislating, you find something else to be good at, like living online, playing with your hair, and giggling every time someone asks whether you’d be fit to serve as commander-in-chief. Conway didn’t think that was funny. With the whole world watching, she said, that kind of response would be “embarrassing and a disaster.”

Just watch The Brink of War and imagine AOC in a similar situation. You can’t, because she’s an absolute joke. But I digress.

AOC has tried to distance herself from her old positions by claiming her rhetoric from years ago doesn’t reflect where she is today. Conway found that laughable. Five years isn’t ancient history, and she made the point with a sharp comparison: does AOC‘s position change with the seasons, too? If it’s raining, does she flip? If it’s October instead of April? Conway called the whole excuse disgraceful, and said both failed Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong and AOC had proven themselves untrustworthy to voters.

Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer Team Up for Cringeworthy Video Congratulating Each Other for How They Handled the Pandemic

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer are apparently big fans of each other, not to mention themselves.

The two recently joined forces to make a video where they talk about how well each of them handled the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gretchen Whitmer has already said that she is not running for president in 2028, but that doesn’t preclude her from being selected to be someone’s running mate. Is that what we’re seeing here? Is this a preview?

Check out this clip, via RNC Research:

NEWSOM: What did you make of Fauci and all that?

WHITMER: “I feel bad for him, ya know?…people were trying to do the right thing with the information we had…”

Here’s another, also from RNC Research:

Gretchen Whitmer says she and Gavin Newsom did the “right thing” by locking down their states during COVID.

WHITMER: “Everyone was so pissed off that I pulled kids out of school.”

NEWSOM: “Yes.”

WHITMER: “We were doing what we thought was the right thing to do at the time.”

El-Sayed’s ‘Queer Muslim’ and Pro-Palestinian Half-Sister Causing Headaches for the Campaign

Eman Abdelhadi, half-sister of Michigan’s Democratic candidate for Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, is a hater.

She hates America. She hates white people. She hates the University of Chicago, where she’s an associate professor in the school’s Department of Comparative Human Development. She hates Democratic moderates. 

She also hates ICE with the virulence of a true believer and the ignorance of a left-wing radical. During protests against ICE performing its lawful function of enforcing immigration law in a suburb of Chicago, she helped instigate a riot and, during the melee, spit on a state trooper and then resisted arrest.

Before her arrest at the ICE riot in July 2025, Abdelhadi made headlines for cursing out her employer at the Socialism 2025 conference. The conference describes itself as bringing thousands of “radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about social movements, abolition, Marxism, decolonization, working-class history, and the debates and strategies for organizing today.” 

Abdelhadi had some very nasty things to say about the University of Chicago.

“F**k the University of Chicago, it’s evil, you know it’s a colonial landlord. Like, why would I put any of my political energy into this space? I kind of had a little bit of disdain for people who spent their time doing that,” she said.

So why in the wide, wide world of sports is she working there?

“Turns out, I work at one of the biggest employers in the city of Chicago. I work at a place that is a landlord, a healthcare provider, a police force, f**k that s**t, but they are, and a place where I have access to thousands of people that I could potentially organize… actually, this is where I need to build power. That’s possible structural leverage,” she said.

Mkay. So why are you working there?

It gets much weirder. Washington Free Beacon reports Abdelhadi is the author of the “funky, commie, queer novel” Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune alongside her “bestie,” coauthor M.E. O’Brien, a “trans communist” who wrote the 2023 book Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care.

Eeek.

“The novel is a fictionalized ‘oral history’ of ‘sex workers, antifascist militants, and survivors of all stripes’ who band together to create a ‘radically new social order forged in the ashes of capitalist collapse.'”

Mamdani Wanted to Defund Police Until His Wife Wanted NYPD Protection

The dispute began when City Hall spokesperson Dora Pekec said Duwaji’s security detail would join her on a family trip to Syria and Lebanon, “upon the strong recommendation of the NYPD.” That statement gave the impression that an internal protective decision had already been made and that the trip was moving forward with police coverage attached. Hours later, the NYPD publicly undercut that account, saying it does not send officers to countries with Level 4 travel advisories for discretionary reasons and that this was not an investigative trip, so NYPD personnel would not be traveling there for it.

That is the heart of the matter. The two statements do not merely differ in tone; they conflict on the basic operational question of whether officers were actually expected to accompany the mayor’s wife. In coverage of the dispute, reporters described it as a clash between City Hall and the department over whether taxpayer-funded protection would be provided for a private overseas trip. The travel itself was described as beginning in mid-September, and the destinations were Syria and Lebanon, both of which are under U.S. State Department Level 4 “Do Not Travel” advisories.

In practical terms, this kind of episode usually emerges from the gap between a preliminary protective conversation and a formal deployment order. A mayoral office may speak as if an arrangement is settled once a recommendation is received; a police department may still regard the matter as unresolved until assignment and authorization are complete. The public, meanwhile, sees only the announcement and the denial. That is why these episodes so often become fights over credibility rather than administrative sequence.

Mamdani’s later explanation was that the clash stemmed from a miscommunication. He said the trip would proceed without any NYPD detail. That clarification narrows the issue but does not fully reconstruct the chain of events. The public record, as reported, does not show a signed approval, a formal assignment, or a memo indicating exactly who recommended what and when. What it does show is enough to establish that City Hall initially spoke as though protection was in place, and the NYPD then rejected that implication in public.

Somali Daycare Owner with Long List of State Violations Wins DFL Primary for Minnesota House

Abdi Daisane, a Somali-born daycare operator, has won the DFL primary for Minnesota House District 14A, setting up a November showdown in a seat Republicans have held for years.

Abdi Daisane, a St. Cloud childcare-business owner, won Tuesday’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor primary for Minnesota House District 14A with 2,262 votes—62.52% of the total—defeating Paul R. F. Schumacher, who received 1,356 votes. The figures come directly from the Minnesota Secretary of State’s election results.

Daisane will face Republican Mike Conway in the November 3 general election. Conway won the Republican primary with 62.25% of the vote. The open district covers St. Augusta and portions of St. Cloud, Waite Park, and St. Joseph, according to KNSI’s election-night report.

Daisane, 38, was born in Somalia, spent 18 years in Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camp, and resettled in the United States in 2009.

He later moved to St. Cloud, earned degrees from St. Cloud State University, and opened Blooming Kids Child Care Center (licensed capacity 113). He has made expanding childcare funding and assistance a centerpiece of his campaigns.

The problem? His own daycare has a documented history of state violations.

Daisane is listed by Minnesota’s Secretary of State as the chief executive officer and registered agent of Blooming Kids Child Care Center Inc. The company was formed in 2017 and remains active and in good standing, according to the state’s business filing.
