It is my opinion that Pam Bondi needs to be fired for insubordination.It shouldnottake an act of Congress and a Law being made to force Bondi into releasing ALL the Epstein files after her boss, President Trump, told her to do so back in February 2025. On February 27, 2025, Bondi did make binders of Epstein files (that had already been made public years previously) and gave them to "influencers" faking compliance with President Trump's directive to her. Those influencers cried foul. In the months following, "more" Epstein evidence was "uncovered" but not provided to the public. Rachel Treisman, in an NPR article of November 17, 2025Trump makes a U-turn on the Epstein files. Here's a timeline of his shifting stancegives a timeline of the movements in the "release the Epstein files" saga.
In myNovember 18, 2025 ANP Article, I noted specific questions raised by President Trump about the Epstein files and people like Bill Clinton,Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-U.S. Virgin Islands), Larry Summers, Katie Couric, Reid Hoffman, DNC, and Michael Wolff.
We shall see how Bondi attempts to wiggle out of releasing the full files this time. It makes me wonder if we will see Bondi's name in those papers that are yet to be released.

On November 18, 2025, the White House published theFact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Solidifies Economic and Defense Partnership with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabiafollows up on President Trump's May visit to Saudi Arabia (discussed in my May 14, 2025 and May 15, 2025 ANP articles) strengthening the strategic partnership between the US and Saudi Arabia. This revised partnership focuses on achieving nuclear energy, critical minerals, and technology dominance and deepens defense cooperation and regional security. This partnership is expected to drive US economic prosperity and job creation as Saudi Arabia increased their investment in the US from $600,000,000,000 to almost $1,000,000,000,000.
In the video below, President Trump and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia hold a joint press conference. Of course, at about 34:20 into the video, President Trump has to address an ABC reporter for the blatant disrespect of the dignitaries present following that up with suggesting ABC's broadcasting license needs to be revoked.
At the State Dinner held last night, November 18, 2025, in honor of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, President Trump announced that Saudi Arabia has been designated as a Major Non-NATO ally to the US.

Existence and nature of the emergency The district court has entered an extraordinary order countermanding the Presidents decision to call forth the National Guard to protect federal officers in Portland from violent attacks and to protect federal property from further damage. The accompanying motion requires resolution on an emergency timeframe because the district court impermissibly second-guessed the Commander in Chiefs military judgmentssomething district courts lack the authority and competence to do. The accompanying motion could not have been filed earlier. The district court entered its partial final judgment accompanied by a 106-page opinion on the evening of November 7, 2025. The federal government noticed an appeal on November 14, 2025, and filed this motion on November 16, 2025.
Notice to opposing parties Prior to filing this motion, Defendants contacted counsel for Plaintiffs and informed them of Defendants intent to seek a stay pending appeal. Plaintiffs Oregon and Portland state that they oppose a stay pending appeal and an administrative stay. California states that it opposes a stay pending appeal, and that it takes no position on the administrative stay based on Californias understanding that the California National Guard is not affected by the administrative stay request. Upon filing this motion, defendants will provide a service copy to plaintiffs counsel via email.
Relief sought in district court Before trial, Defendants asked the district court to stay any injunction pending appeal, but the district court only stayed the order to the extent that it enjoins the federalization of members of any States National Guard and, as to the Oregon National Guard, that stay is only in effect until November 21.

But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
