Snarky New York Times Article on Jeanine Pirro Actually Shows She Is Hard at Work as US Attorney for DC and Has Proven Herself to Skeptical Staff

A hit piece by New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush on newly confirmed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Judge Jeanine Pirro actually shows Pirro is working long hours in her new post and has won over skeptical staff.

United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro

Pirro, 74, started her career fighting crime in 1975 as an assistant district attorney and then as a judge and district attorney in Westchester County, New York, serving elected terms in office from 1991 to 1993 and 1994 to 2005, respectively. Afterward, Pirro starred in the Judge Jeanine Pirro courtroom TV show on the CW from 2008 though 2011 and became a best selling author and Fox News host and commentator from 2011 through 2025. Pirro is also a longtime friend and supporter of President Donald Trump, who appointed her to the U.S. Attorney position.

One has to wade through nearly twenty paragraphs of snark to get to the most important news in the snarky Times article on Pirro by Thrush: That Pirro works long hours, lives in D.C. during the work-week and has proven herself to a skeptical staff:

If Ms. Pirro hopes to ascend in the department, she has not shared it with people in her orbit. She has defied expectations, common among staff before she arrived, that she would not take the job seriously, or spend her days kibbitzing at the White House.

Ms. Pirro has been working long hours, fortified by candy and early-morning workouts; she lives in a rented apartment in Washington during the week and commutes back to her house in Rye, N.Y., on the weekends…

She holds daily briefings with division chiefs in the office, circulates among staff and drops in on court proceedings of particular interest to her, including the trial of Shon Hopwood, a Georgetown Law professor convicted last month of assaulting his wife.

…She earned the wary respect of subordinates early in her tenure after a lone gunman fatally shot two Israeli Embassy employees in May outside the Jewish museum in downtown Washington. Ms. Pirro, donning tortoise shell glasses and discarding the flippancy of her persona on “The Five,” was well briefed, professional and measured.

The snark never ends, though. The conclusion of the Times article is straight out of 1950s sexist reporting:

Asked about recent cuts to criminal justice programs, Ms. Pirro, wearing a tailored navy-blue jacket and an expression of incredulity, took another high-heeled step toward the cameras.

“Oh, stop it!” she said.

Pirro appeared on Fox News Saturday night for an interview with President Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

Pirro spoke about working, for the first time, for her decades long friend, President Trump (all caps via YouTube closed caption):

“I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU, I SPOKE TO HIM I THINK YESTERDAY AT 7:00 A.M. AND HE’S LIKE, HE’S NONSTOP. AND HE MOTIVATES ALL OF US, “WE NEED TO DO THIS AND THIS AND THIS.” I LOVE WORKING FOR HIM, I’M PROUD OF HIM, I BELIEVE IN HIM. HE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, HE BELIEVES IN THE AMERICAN DREAM, HE BELIEVES IN SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR AMERICANS. HE BELIEVES IN US AND WE BELIEVE IN HIM.”

Watch to the end to hear Pirro’s voice crack as she tries to keep her emotions in check while speaking about her motivation for leaving a cushy TV gig at age 74 for the hard, gritty work of U.S. Attorney for D.C.

Video clips posted by the White House:

“.@USAttyPirro says every single one of the 45 teens killed by gunfire in D.C. since 2024 are minorities — and 70% of these homicides have not been solved: “We haven’t arrested them; we haven’t taken the guns from them. That’s what @POTUS understands — and that’s my mission.”

“”This is my calling; this is who I am. I have fought for the underdog — for the silent victim of crime — my whole life,” says @USAttyPirro @JudgeJeanine “I had a great job at Fox, but I’m back to my roots… When I look back on my life, this is what’s going to matter.””

Victor Reacts: These Boys Deserve a Medal, Not A Suspension (VIDEO)

These boys did the right thing and they are being punished for it.

They deserve to get a medal for what they did, not a suspension.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

The radical madness in Loudoun County, Virginia, just hit a new low. Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) has decided to SUSPEND two boys at Stone Bridge High School, not because they misbehaved, not because they broke the law, but because they dared to ask why a girl was in the boys’ locker room.

The school’s Title IX Office determined the boys were guilty of “sexual harassment” and “sex-based discrimination.”

Their punishment? A 10-day suspension, a no-contact order with the female student, forced meetings with administrators, and a permanent smear on their academic records that could destroy their college prospects.

This happens at a time when young men are constantly lectured about how they are the problem by virtue of being a male and their inherent “toxic masculinity.”

Those who do not bend the knee to the woke gender mob are punished for doing the right thing in a world gone crazy.

WATCH: Trump Slams Newsom and Pritzker When Asked About Ensuring Future Peace in Ukraine Following his Presidency – “Get a Good President, Not One of These Wackos Like in California”

President Trump slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, warning Americans that if they want to hold Russia at bay, “all you can do is hope you don’t get that as President.”

“All you can do is make sure you get a good president not, one of these wackos, like in California that runs the worst state anybody’s seen, or that guy in Illinois, who his family threw him out of the business because he was no good,” Trump said when asked how to handle Russia in the future.

Pritzker, he said, has “zero chance,” but “Maybe Newscum has a little bit of a chance.”

As noted by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday, “Under George W. Bush, Russia invaded Georgia. Under Barack Obama, Russia took Crimea. Under Joe Biden, Russia invaded Ukraine, but under President Trump, Russia did not invade, nor take anything.” She continued, “President Trump is the only President this century, Republican or Democrat, who has held Russia in check and ensured peace in Europe.”

It was Biden, of course, who started the war to begin with. Putin even agreed that the war would have never started if Trump were President at the time Russia invaded! “In 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities,” Putin said during a press conference with Trump.

The President appeared on Fox and Friends on Tuesday morning following the historic peace summit at the White House on Monday, where he engaged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and other big leaders from Europe in peace negotiations.

This followed Trump’s meeting with Putin in Alaska, where the two came to an agreement to end the war, pending Ukraine and NATO negotiations.

After meeting with Zelensky and seven European allies, Trump called Putin, and he agreed to meet with Zelensky in a bilateral summit and later with Trump and Zelensky.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, President Trump discussed his phone call with the Fox and Friends panel.

Fox co-host Ainsley Earhardt also asked the President how the US will ensure that Putin "doesn't inch in closer" or invade Ukraine, and his answer was very simple: Don't get a weak President.

Trump then highlighted some of the "superstars" in his administration, signaling that any one of them could be the next presidential nominee. "We have a great bench, as you know that, we have great talent," he said.

WATCH:

Earhardt: There was a lot of talk yesterday when we were watching this about what happens after your presidency. How can we ensure that this conflict, that Putin doesn't inch in closer or more into the Ukraine territory? Is there anything that we can do? Can our can our congressmen and women pass any laws that would involve Article Five? How would that be handled?

Trump: All you can do is make sure you get a good president not, one of these wackos, like in California that runs the worst state anybody’s seen, or that guy in Illinois, who his family threw him out of the business because he was no good. Now he's running Illinois, and he wants to run for president. He's got zero chance. Maybe Newscum has a little bit of a chance, I don't know. It's hard to believe, because his record’s bad, but all you can do is hope you don't get that as President. We have a great bench, as you know that, we have great talent. And JD, and Marco, and Scott Bessent has been great, and Howard— they're all, I mean, we have such superstars.

Remember this, take a look at the border. The border was a disaster. Millions of people were pouring through, open border. Within two months, it was perfect, and within, now, every week, every month, they say zero people. Zero people are coming in illegally. We were taking people from prisons all over the world, gang members, insane asylum, mental patients from the worst insane asylums in the world, dropped into our to our place. So, now we have a very secure border, beautiful border. I built hundreds of miles of wall. Without that, we couldn't have secured border.

A part of the Texas Capitol was evacuated on Tuesday evening amid an active shooter threat.

A protest erupted after Democrat State Rep. Nicole Collier slept in the state Capitol last night to protest the Texas DPS escort amid a redistricting fight with GOP state lawmakers.

Texas Democrats returned to the Capitol on Monday after fleeing to Illinois for two weeks in an effort to block GOP redistricting efforts.

More Texas Democrats are expected to join Rep. Collier and sleep in the state Capitol tonight.

Rep. Collier waved to her supporters from the window on Tuesday. She is locked in amid the active shooter threat.

WATCH:

Kamala Harris called Texas Rep. Collier and encouraged her to keep going with her stunt.

CBS Austin reported:

Parts of the Texas Capitol grounds were evacuated and closed to visitors on Tuesday evening after reports of an active shooter threat.

The building itself was shut down, prompting a protest in support of Representative Nicole Collier to move outside.

Despite the partial closure of the Capitol, the grounds initially remained open, allowing Representative Nicole Collier to wave to her supporters from a window.

Protest organizer Melody Tremallo said she was shown a video of the threat. “The captain came up to me and informed me that there was likely going to be… likely going to clear out the Capitol building on the grounds due to an imminent shooter threat. I was shown the video of somebody whose rhetoric basically went to the effect of…,” Tremallo said, and then CBS Austin’s reporter Andrew Freeman heard DPS announce it was closing the grounds.
