soon find their place in urban

The Deadly ‘Trans’ Assault in Minneapolis Nate Jackson As school has begun across the country, there have been numerous hoax calls about active shooters on campus. That’s a sick way to get entertainment, but sicker still is when the shooting is real, as it was yesterday morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After his assault, the murderer took his own life. And, like the murderous psychopath at The Covenant School in Nashville two years ago, this killer identified as “transgender.” For the media outlets that use feminine or “they/them” pronouns or the “trans woman” moniker for this 23-year-old man, shame on you for indulging his twisted fantasy even after he inflicted demonic horror upon young students, teachers, and families.  Bans on Gas Stoves Come Back As Democratic Cities and States Continue War on Gas Appliances Kevin Killough A new law went into effect in Colorado earlier this month requiring health warning labels on gas stoves, similar to those placed on cigarette packages. It’s one example of multiple efforts, primarily in blue states, to stop consumers from using gas-powered appliances in their homes. After a Biden administration official in 2023 alluded to the possibility of a ban on gas stoves in the name of public health, legacy media outlets produced a number of “fact checks” insisting the Biden administration wasn’t going to ban gas stoves. They claimed the whole idea was just a "right-wing conspiracy." Conveniently, most of the "fact checks" ignored the many local and state efforts in Democratic strongholds that accomplish the same goal. |

| Atlanta Fed GDPNow Lifts Q3 U.S. Growth Estimate to 3.5% The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta said its GDPNow model now projects U.S. real gross domestic product to expand at a 3.5% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the third quarter of 2025, up sharply from the 2.2% pace estimated on Aug. 26. The update, released on Aug. 29, signals a stronger near-term outlook for economic growth than suggested just three days earlier. |

| Ten Most Important Revelations About the Obama-Biden Era of Weaponization The Trump administration’s probe into weaponization of the intelligence community, beginning with the genesis of the fake Russia collusion allegations in 2016, has kicked into full gear this summer. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and FBI Director Kash Patel have declassified and released a mountain of documents shedding light on how the bureau's deeply flawed and politically-motivated Trump-Russia inquiry, known as "Crossfire Hurricane," got off the ground. |

| Dems FURIOUS with RFK Jr When He Threatens to Expose Pharmaceutical Transgender Grift Democrats lost it on Thursday after Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. (RFK) announced that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun studying certain psychiatric medications following the latest trans-related mass shooting. “We are doing those kind of studies now,” he said. “At NIH, we’re launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence.” “You know, many of them on there have black box warnings that warn of suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation. We can’t exclude those as a culprit, and those are the kind of studies that we’re doing,” he added. |
 |
| House Oversight Panel Launches Investigation Into DC Police Crime Data House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer launched an investigation on Monday into the Metropolitan Police Department's (MPD) crime data, alleging that the force manipulated the information to hide the scope of crime in the nation's capital. Comer wrote a letter to MPD Chief of Police Pamela Smith on Monday, noting that the department recently made a settlement regarding allegations that senior officials falsified the city's crime statistics, and Third District Commander Michael Pulliam was placed on administrative leave following allegations that he altered crime reports. |

| Trump Signs Executive Order Ending Cashless Bail "One of the executive orders has to do with cashless bail – that's when the big crime in this country started," Trump said before signing the order. He said that when a person kills someone, and they are released on cashless bail, they are just told to return to court, but they don't. "They thought it was discriminatory" to require bail after killing people on the street, Trump said. The executive order charges the attorney general to identify cashless bail jurisdictions in order to withhold their federal funding. | |
| Andrew Cuomo Enthusiastically Gave Us the No-Bail Law Post Editorial Board Andrew Cuomo never heard of the no-bail law; he’s proud of ending an “injustice”; it was the other guy; someone faked his name on it; it never happened in the first place. “We don’t have cashless bail” in New York, Cuomo said (with a straight face!) last week after President Donald Trump issued an executive order aiming to cut federal funding to areas that embrace the pro-crime “reform.” Sorry, Andrew: Tell that to 94-year-old Audrey Hawkins. She was trying to catch the E train in June when serial criminal Edwin Wright bashed her in the head – just a few months after his arrest for assaulting a child ... and rapid release because his charges weren’t “bailable.” | |
| Trump Beats Dems at Their Own Game Nate Jackson “When they go low, we go high,” then-First Lady Michelle Obama told the Democratic National Convention in 2016, claiming it was the Democrats’ motto. Few things are less true of Democrats, though they repeat it to themselves in the mirror every morning. Democrats have spent decades screaming about their GOP opponents being racist Nazis, as if that by definition puts Democrats on the high road. On the contrary, false name-calling is not a high-road substitute for serious policy arguments. |

| 'No Exceptions': Trump to Sign EO Requiring Voter I.D. in Elections In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!!! President DJT.” Election integrity has long been an issue on the president’s mind. In December 2022, he told Breitbart News that Republicans must fight Democrats on mail voting and ballot harvesting like the Democrats do. At the time, he recognized that Republicans were forced to live with the system until they could get back into power and make changes. |

| Commerce Secretary Lutnick Voids 'illegal' $7.4B Payment to Biden Ally-Staffed Nonprofit for Semiconductor Research “Rather than establishing these operations within the Department, however, Biden Administration officials spent significant time, effort, and resources creating an unaccountable, outside entity – Natcast – to administer taxpayer funds”. Four days before Biden left office on Jan. 20, Lutnick noted, the Commerce Department agreed to set aside $7.4 billion in “advance payments” to Natcast after spending nearly two years setting it up and tapping administration officials, advisers and allies to fill out positions. ... Lutnick’s revocation of the funding comes after EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin revealed appointees of the 46th president were “rushing to get billions of dollars out the door before Inauguration Day” to lefty NGOs. |

| UN-backed Gaza City Famine Determination May Be Flawed by Reliance on Incomplete Data The United Nations-backed organization that declared a famine in the Gaza Governorate appeared to have relied on incomplete data that is key to making its assessment of the effects of Israel’s ongoing war against the Hamas terrorist group in the enclave. ... While the world is bombarded with heart-wrenching images – many of them fake or staged – of starving children, a review of the data shows that the IPC appears to have relied on incomplete survey results for the month of July to make its claim that Global Acute Malnutrition – a key data point used to assess famine conditions – had exceeded a necessary 15% threshold to declare the conditions in the main region of Gaza to be a famine. | |
| Israeli Forces Kill Prime Minister of Yemen's Houthi Government in Air Strike Israel killed the prime minister of Yemen’s Houthi government and several cabinet ministers in a Thursday airstrike on Sanaa, delivering the first successful strike against senior officials in the Iran-aligned group’s leadership, Reuters reported. Mahdi al-Mashat, head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, confirmed Saturday that Prime Minister Ahmad Ghaleb al-Rahwi died in the attack, along with the energy, foreign and information ministers, according to sources, Reuters reported. Al-Mashat did not clarify whether Defense Minister Mohamed al-Atifi survived the strike. | |
| Islamic Republic Close to Collapse in Iran, Civil War Possible After U.S., Israeli Decimation of Nuclear Capabilities The winds of change could soon blow on Iran, according to a new report. The Islamic Republic is facing collapse, indicates the report, issued by UK-based Henry Jackson Society this week, as the UN accuses Tehran of executing nearly 900 people already this year “as a tool of intimidation.” If the Islamic Republic falls, “there is a danger that regime collapse could lead to a vacuum of governance that is accompanied by civil war,” according to the findings. | |
| U.S. Denies Visas for Abbas and Palestinian Delegation Ahead of UN Assembly The U.S. State Department said on Friday it is denying and revoking visas for members of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, including President Mahmoud Abbas, blocking them from traveling to New York for the United Nations General Assembly scheduled for September. In a written statement, the department cited U.S. sanctions laws and national-security concerns, alleging the Palestinian leadership continues to finance militants and pursue unilateral statehood moves. Visas already issued to the officials are being cancelled, while new applications will be refused, the department added. | |
| Pentagon to Build New Task Force to Counter Drone Threats Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Department of Defense wants to address the growing threat and to improve its systems to protect people and equipment at home and overseas.

"We will innovate, we will lead and we will win." | |
| Minnesota Catholic School Leader Warned Tim Walz of ‘Critical’ School Safety Threats. He Did Nothing. Two years before a shooter opened fire on students attending daily mass in Minneapolis, the leaders of independent and Catholic schools in Minnesota begged Democrat Governor Tim Walz for help securing their schools, according to a 2023 letter reviewed by The Daily Wire. The funding was never authorized. In a letter dated April 14, 2023 that specifically addressed “school safety in nonpublic schools,” Tim Benz, the president of MINNDEPENDENT and Jason Adkins, the executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, stressed an “urgent and critical need in Minnesota to make sure our schools are secure and safe” in light of “recent, and continuing attacks, on our schools in this country and in our state.” |

| Thwarted: White House Reveals Possible School Shooting in D.C. Stopped Just Hours After MN Horror The pain of the awful Minneapolis school shooting Wednesday is still fresh in our hearts, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Thursday at a press briefing that another tragedy may have been averted in Washington, D.C. She said that law enforcement in the nation’s capital arrested a juvenile Wednesday night for "allegedly threatening violence towards a school," just hours after the Annunciation Church School shooting, which left two children dead and at least 17 victims injured. |

| Here’s Why Democrats Work So Hard to Defend Criminals Howard J. Warner Democrats defend crime and defunding the police because this keeps them in power. If people are threatened, they are more willing to distrust those who fall into the “oppressor” groups. The impetus to change paradigms does not come easily when “free” stuff is offered to those with little resources. Hence socialist Mamdani is leading for NYC mayor in a city with a large immigrant population. Crime is the chaos that Critical Theory has ordered. | |
| A Billion Dollar Somali Autism Fraud in Minnesota Daniel Greenfield The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning. Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together. The pattern in both Somali meals for children and autism treatment for children is similar. | Autism claims rose from $3 million to $400 million. |
| Judge Orders Fani Willis to Provide Info on Searches for Trump-related Records Judicial Watch on Monday announced that a Georgia judge last week ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to provide additional information in her search for records related to her prosecution of President Donald Trump. The order was part of Judicial Watch's 2024 lawsuit that it filed after Willis denied having any records related to the watchdog's Georgia Open Records Act request for communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and the January 6 Committee. The Judicial Watch lawsuit as well as a House Judiciary inquiry were seeking to find out the extent of cooperation between Willis' office and the highly politicized January 6 Committee, along with Jack Smith's office. But when Willis originally claimed she had no such records, it also became a question of what she was hiding and why. |

| Google’s $1.375B Slap: Why Conservatives Must Continue the Fight Against Big Tech’s Surveillance Caleb Larson Americans rightfully have significant expectations when it comes to privacy. We have constitutional protections against government overreach but we're more exposed to Big Tech companies like Google. Texas’ $1.375 billion settlement against Google for harvesting location, biometric, and search data without consent has achieved a victory for Texans and further exposed Google’s surveillance empire, but Americans at large are still at risk. Conservatives must demand better data privacy reforms from state and federal governments to stop Google as it continues to undermine data privacy through ad tech tracking, AI data grabs, and lobbying efforts against privacy laws. | |
| 23 State Attorneys General Urge Zeldin to Defund Climate Law Group Twenty-three state attorneys general are urging Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin to defund a climate law group called the Environmental Law Institute (ELI). In the letter, the AGs noted that "ELI received approximately 13% of its revenue in 2023, and 8.4% in 2024, from EPA awards." The Climate Judiciary Project is run by ELI, and "estimates that it has hosted more than 50 events and trained more than 2,000 judges," according to the letter. |

| Colorado Funds Medicaid Costs for Planned Parenthood The Colorado legislature has passed a bill that funds Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood and others who provide reproductive healthcare services, including abortions. The Colorado House voted 43-19 Sunday in favor of Senate Bill 25B-2, following the Senate’s approval Friday. The bill now goes to Democratic Gov. Jared Polis for his signature. |

| Chinese Money Launderers Fuel Drug Crisis Epoch Times For years, the Chinese communist regime has been accused of fueling the fentanyl epidemic in the United States, a claim that gained renewed attention when President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on goods from China as well as Mexico and Canada, citing their role in the drug crisis. While many Americans know that fentanyl is smuggled into the country, few understand how the trade is financed or how illicit profits move through the U.S. financial system. A recent Treasury Department report found that Chinese money launderers moved over $300 billion through U.S. banks in the past five years, helping Mexican cartels hide their profits. Here’s a closer look at how these funds move undetected. |

| NSSF Asks FTC to Disclose Extent to Which it Colluded With the Gun Control Industry to Limit Gun Makers’ Commercial Speech Dan Zimmerman While Trump 2.0 has done a lot to undo much of the government side of the Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex since it took office in January, we still don’t have anything approaching a full accounting of what took place prior to January 20. One aspect of the prior administration’s war on guns was pressure that was brought by NGOs – read: gun control operations – via the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and pressure gun makers as to their product advertisements and claims. | |
| HUD Threatens Funding for Public Housing Authorities Shielding Illegal Immigrants President Donald Trump‘s Department of Housing and Urban Development is giving every public housing authority in the country 30 days to share citizenship status of tenants or risk losing their federal funding. By law, every PHA is required to share eligibility information, including citizenship status, with HUD. Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act specifically bars illegal immigrants from public housing programs. However, two senior HUD officials, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive information, tell the Washington Examiner that a significant number have either not shared citizenship information with the government, or were simply never collecting that information in the first place. | |
| Gavin Newsom's 10-year Plan to End San Francisco Homelessness Marks 20-Year Anniversary Houston Keene California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, commands a Golden State that has turned into a deep blue "Sapphire State." As Newsom took over following the 2003 San Francisco mayoral election, the then-mayor-elect said that December he intended to "aggressively" make ending homelessness in his city his administration's top priority. The plan involved a 10-year strategy to end chronic homelessness with "tens of millions" of federal dollars in funding to create 550 "supportive housing" units for the troubled homeless, SFGate reported at the time. |

| How About Less Time Breaking the Internet and More Time Fixing California? Matt Mahan, Mayor of San Jose Gov. Gavin Newsom’s vaunted social media team disparaged an announcement from the new CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond that it would not open or operate any stores in California due to anxieties over our state’s business climate. The governor’s team responded to the feedback not with a reasoned argument, but with an extended attack in their new “Trumpian” voice of belittling those who disagree with them. Their message to the CEO (and the 6.1 million other people who viewed the post) was “take your business elsewhere.” | |
| Kids' Gender Clinic Whistleblower Tells Dr. Phil Regretful Patients Begged to 'have body parts put back on' Jamie Reed, who worked at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, penned a lengthy tell-all exposé last year in which she called gender clinics for kids "morally and medically appalling." On "Dr. Phil Primetime," the host asked Reed, who is queer and married to a transgender person herself, what changed her mind about transgender treatments for youth. "A number of things," she said. "We started to see patients who were experiencing very significant medical harms being rushed to the emergency room with lacerations requiring stitches. We had patients contact us who were begging to have body parts put back on within months of having surgeries." | "If a child says they're trans there's no questioning it" |
| Trump Administration Threatens to Pull $81 Million in Sex Education Funding Over Gender Ideology The Department of Health and Human Services order directs 40 states and six territories, including Washington, D.C., and Maryland, to remove content related to gender ideology as defined in President Donald Trump’s Day One executive order prohibiting federal funding for anything that does not affirm the concept of binary biological sex. Together, the states could lose more than $81 million in federal sex education funding under the Personal Responsibility Education Program from the Administration for Children and Families at HHS. Acting HHS Assistant Secretary Andrew Gradison said in a press release on Tuesday that “accountability is coming” for states that are not in compliance with the Trump executive order on biological sex. | |
| Teachers' Unions Give Million$ to Progressive Causes; “It Is Clear the Unions’ Priorities Are Advancing Far-Left Politics” The two largest U.S. teachers unions have donated over $40 million to progressive organizations and initiatives, a new report found. The report outlines that AFT and NEA donated to pro-gender ideology groups, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, among others. The report states that $29,500 went to Gender Inclusivity LLC, $30,000 to the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network and $60,000 to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. The union reportedly sent $200,000 to the Black Progressive Action Coalition, $17,941 to the National Equity Project and $110,663 to Politico LLC. |

| Education Dept Finds GMU Violated Title VI with DEI Policies The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced George Mason University violated federal law by hiring and promoting staff based on race and other characteristics. In July, OCR launched an investigation into GMU due to multiple complaints filed by professors alleging that university leadership had adopted unlawful diversity, equity and inclusion policies from 2020 that give preferential treatment to prospective and current faculty, the department said in a press release. |

| Kristi Noem Halts Thousands in DEI Red Tape, Shreds Internal Marketing Spend The Department of Homeland Security is scrapping thousands of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) contracts after billions of dollars in waste and fraud were found. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found FEMA spending on inflated contracts, duplicate services and programs it called fraudulent or unnecessary. In response, DHS is moving to cancel the contracts and boost oversight. The Daily Caller obtained a sample of the contracts flagged by DOGE. “Any American who opened the books at FEMA and saw their lackluster spending controls and policies would be horrified,” a FEMA spokesperson told the Caller. |

| ‘Nonsensical’ Illegal Immigrant Tuition Policy Scrapped in Kentucky, Bondi Lawsuit Deal A lawsuit brought by Attorney General Pam Bondi against Kentucky’s public education apparatus over in-state tuition for illegal immigrants resulted in an agreement to end the practice... "Under current federal law, any illegal immigrant is barred from eligibility for postsecondary education benefits, like in-state tuition, unless the same benefits are offered to every U.S. citizen," Coleman said. Bondi noted in a statement obtained by Coleman’s office that "no state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens." |

| Stop and Smell the
Commie: The Normie's Guide to Recognizing Marxism Before it Kills Us All Kevin Downey Jr. The Trump economy continues to improve, and crime is falling. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin met to begin the process of winding down the war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump has also begun turning Washington back into a peaceful city where residents can walk to the Dairy Queen without fear of stray lead perforation. Sure, your typical flag-waving, liberty-loving Americans are having a hoot, but the more successful Trump – and America – become, the louder those meat-dodging, septum-pierced, blue-haired apparatchiks seem to screech. Why is that? Because they are filthy communist prags who want to bring down the greatest nation in the history of mankind, which happens to be the United States of America. |

| Gavin Newsom: The Chameleon Who
Destroyed California Joel Kotkin Gavin Newsom may be saddled with an awful record. But the California governor is rapidly emerging as a leading bet – even a frontrunner in some polls – in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. How is this possible? The simple answer is that Newsom might be the ultimate candidate for the attention-deficient generation. He is a political chameleon who changes positions compulsively – not according to facts, but to whatever best seems to fit the national mood. |

| Karen Bass Exists to Make Gavin
Newsom Look Competent Stephen Kruiser  We've
often discussed the fact that the Democrats are out of ideas and have
nothing to offer the disaffected voters who they've been pushing away
for over four years. They're in desperate need of some big, bold policy
pitches to give the American people, and they're not going to get any
from the party's current crop of "stars." True, there are limitations
placed on them by their own political philosophy, but they still need
someone to put lipstick on their socialist pig in order to win
elections. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been getting all of the
wrong kinds of press since fire destroyed Pacific Palisades and other
areas of her city. We've seen public officials not handle crises well
before, but Bass is going to need her own wing in the Mega FAIL Hall of
Shame. Bass is the mayor of the second-largest city in the country and
has performed as if she couldn't be trusted to keep a fake houseplant
alive. |

| Cali’s Commie Commissar Karen Mark Alexander Some of the most strident political rhetoric of late has been about one of the most strident political hacks, Zohran Mamdani, who won the Demo primary in New York City in June. Now, given that NYC is our nation’s largest city, candidates there are going to be noticed. But what makes Mamdani most noticeable is that, more than three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Socialist Democrat Party’s legions of “useful idiots” might elect an avowed communist mayor of New York. Oh, and there is another factor: as podcaster Isabel Brown observed, “Imagine going back in time to September 12, 2001, and telling New Yorkers they’d eventually go on to elect a Muslim … mayor of the city.” Evidently, we neglected to “never forget” the 9/11 Islamist attack.  |

DC Dems On Monday, Trump announced, with his customary excessive enthusiasm, that D.C. – which has higher violent crime rates than the cities of some third-world dictatorships – is already on its way to becoming a safe and secure town. The president federalized the capital’s police force and deployed National Guard troops in an effort to address the crime crisis that is ruining D.C. In a post on Truth Social, the platform where he often communicates directly with the American people, Trump insisted, “D.C. gave Fake Crime numbers in order to create a false illusion of safety. This is a very bad and dangerous thing to do, and they are under serious investigation for so doing!” |

Secretive Far-Left Anarchist Group Formed During Violent 2020 BLM
Protests An armed mob arrested for shooting up a Texas immigration detention center last month are reportedly members of a secretive network of far-left “anti-fascists” trained in self-defense and firearms. An ex-U.S. Marine Corps reservist and 10 others were nabbed after the group, who were clad in black military-style clothing, opened fire outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado back on July 4 – leaving one cop shot in the neck. In the wake of the attack, it has emerged that several of the suspects have apparent ties to left-wing extremist groups operating out of Dallas, the Washington Post reported. |

| This Might Be the Biggest
Development in the Biden Health Cover-Up Scandal Matt Margolis House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer dropped a bombshell on Thursday when he revealed that Ian Sams, the former White House spokesperson who spent years defending Joe Biden’s mental acuity, admitted under oath that he interacted with Biden only twice during his entire tenure. Comer said the revelations cast serious doubt on who was really calling the shots inside the Biden White House. “Wow. That was probably the most informative transcribed interview we’ve had thus far,” Comer told reporters after Sams’ testimony. “I’ll give Mr. Sams credit -- he answered our questions. And one of the most shocking things to me is… he communicated with Joe Biden two times. He saw Joe Biden, talked to Joe Biden two times the entire stint as White House spokesperson.” |

| CNN’s Legal Expert Dropped a Major
Truth Bomb About Trump’s Huge Civil Case Victory Matt Margolis CNN’s top legal analyst admitted he wasn’t the least bit surprised when a New York appeals court threw out more than $500 million in penalties against President Donald Trump and his business empire, gutting what many have called a politically motivated case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. On CNN, Wolf Blitzer asked senior legal analyst Elie Honig if he was shocked by the ruling. Honig replied, “Well, I’m not, Wolf. I have been skeptical of the attorney general’s case for a long time. I’m on record saying that. This is a huge win for Donald Trump any way you cut it. And this is a stinging rebuke to the attorney general, Letitia James.”  Judge Who Fined Trump $500 Million Gets the Book Thrown at Him on Appeal Jonathan Turley In New York, a court revealed that a leading citizen had cooked the books by inflating questionable figures without any support in reality. Moreover, his wild overvaluation was widely viewed as motivated by his self-aggrandizement. The final reported figures are so absurdly inflated that they were rejected in their entirety. In the end, he was off by over half a billion dollars. That man is Judge Arthur Engoron. Jonathan Turley Says Letitia James Might Not Be Done Losing to Trump Yet Harold Hutchison Democratic Attorney General Letitia James of New York may suffer further losses in appellate courts to President Donald Trump, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley predicted Thursday. A New York appeals court ruled Thursday that the $355 million civil penalty issued by New York Judge Arthur Engoron in February 2024 violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against excessive fines. Turley told “Faulkner Focus” guest host Aishah Hasnie that while the ruling was a “tremendous victory” for Trump, more wins could be coming for the president. |

Complaint Targeting Her Law License Over Role in Russiagate Scandal Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is facing an ethical complaint from a government watchdog group calling on the Arkansas state bar to probe whether Clinton’s involvement in the Russia investigation into President Trump should affect her ability to practice law in the state. The complaint, filed by Democracy Restored this week, cites the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct involving "Dishonesty" and "Prejudice to the Administration of Justice" and seeks a "formal review of the conduct of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Esq., a licensed attorney in the State of Arkansas, in connection with her actions during the 2016 presidential campaign." |

| Details in Deadly Florida Semi
Accident Get More Horrific As SEVERAL STATES MAY BE RESPONSIBLE The bloody results of the Biden administration's open borders just keep getting worse. Especially heinous crimes like the murders of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Joselyn Nungary have shocked the nation. They were completely preventable, and all three should still be alive. But the policies of blue states that encourage and normalize illegal immigrants are being felt in other ways as well. One of those polices is issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, many of whom can't speak or read English. One recent incident is now highlighting just how dangerous this is, and the Department of Transportation has launched an investigation. Rep Mast Says 'Serious Hurt About to Roll Downhill' After Illegal Migrant Trucker Crash Harjinder Singh’s deadly wreck on Florida’s Turnpike exposes not just the illegal immigration crisis but systemic negligence – or worse – in transportation-related areas, Florida Rep. Brian Mast told Fox News Digital in a Wednesday interview. Mast lives only 10 minutes from where Singh allegedly made an unlawful U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike and killed three people whose vehicle became wedged under his rig – after he illegally used a median crossover meant for emergency vehicles. ... As a member of the House Transportation Committee, Mast said he has heard complaints from municipal officials who run the local DMVs who tell him the problem of illegal immigrants getting CDLs in large numbers is "systemic." Illegal Immigrant Truck Driver Accused in Deadly Florida Crash Got Biden Work Permit After Trump Admin Denial in 2020 The illegal immigrant truck driver accused of causing a crash that killed three people in Florida was given a work permit under the Biden administration, officials said Monday. Harjinder Singh, who was arrested on Saturday in Stockton, California, on three counts of vehicle homicide, entered the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump administration on Sept. 14, 2020, said Tricia McLaughlin, the Homeland Security assistant secretary for public affairs. |

Antisemitic Social Media Post Targeting Israelis A public defender with Brooklyn Defender Services (BDS) was fired over a social media post in which he appeared to call for violence against Israelis. Despite sharing the same acronym as the anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, Brooklyn Defender Services is a New York City public defense organization with no affiliation to it. Lucas Gomez, a public defender, recently responded to a post in which someone asked, "What everyone needs to start asking is ‘who will take 7 million Israelis in?’" Gomez wrote in response. "No one needs to ask this question when firing squads exist," according to screenshots posted on X by the watchdog group StopAntisemitism. |

'obscene monument to his ego' Dramatically Backfires As $850M Vanity Project Sparks Outrage  President
Barack Obama's promise to build and revitalize blighted neighborhoods
was a centerpiece of his first term in the White House. But now, nearly
nine years after he left the Oval Office, he might be destroying one
critical area in the city he called home, the Daily Mail

in April – has come under fire from residents, community leaders and
even onetime supporters who now warn that the massive 19.3-acre

rent and forcing families out. |

Schiff Directed Leaks of Classified Info to Hurt Trump Nate Jackson A Democrat intelligence officer who worked for Democrat lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee for over a decade told the FBI in 2017 that Adam Schiff, then a Democrat representative and now a senator from California, directed the leaking of classified information to smear Donald Trump. The subject? You guessed it – the Russia collusion hoax. Given Schiff’s long history of lies and Ahab-like obsession with harpooning Trump, it’s no surprise that he took an ends-justify-the-means approach. In August 2018, Schiff claimed without evidence that “I think there’s plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight.” In April 2019, he similarly insisted, “I’ve been very clear over the past year, year and a half, that there is ample evidence of collusion in plain sight.” |

"Shut it down!" then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the detailed timeline of political impediments that agents in New York City, Little Rock, Ark., and Washington D.C. reported.

But he has certainly shined a bright light on the census count of illegal aliens for the purposes of gerrymandering congressional districts. |

| Famous Pro-Life Resister Asks
Supreme Court to Overturn Gay Marriage Ruling A famous pro-life resister has asked the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark case that legalized gay marriage. Over a decade ago, in 2015, then-Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis was jailed for six days for refusing on religious grounds to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. In addition, a gay couple consisting of David Ermold and David Moore sued her for violating their constitutional rights... This marks the first time that someone has formally requested that the high court overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. And that’s because Davis is one of a handful of Americans, if even that many, with the legal standing to challenge the ruling. Ex-Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis Asks Supreme Court to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage Ruling: ‘Legal fiction’ “If ever a case deserved review, the first individual who was thrown in jail post-Obergefell for seeking accommodation for her religious beliefs should be it,” Liberty Counsel, the nonprofit law firm representing Davis, wrote in the petition. “Davis was jailed, haled before a jury, and now faces crippling monetary damages based on nothing more than purported emotional distress,” the filing continued, arguing that Davis was protected by her First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and religion in denying the marriage licences. The petition also asks the justices to consider “whether Obergefell v. Hodges … and the legal fiction of substantive due process, should be overturned.” |

Taylor’s Eye-Opening Account and Its Contemporary Implications Michael J. Woodruff There is a longstanding myth from the Second World War that the Allies killed hundreds of thousands of civilians by the sudden and shameless aerial bombing of Dresden, a beautiful city remarkable for its history and culture. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 provided German historians access to previously restricted East German records relevant to the Allied bombing of Nazi targets in Dresden, Germany. Frederick Taylor, a bilingual scholar, read several German accounts, yet untranslated into English, that dispelled the myth. Taylor found that Dresden was “by the standards of its time a legitimate military target.” |

| Florida Sheriff Says He's
'unleashed the teeth of the dog' After Viral Lakeside Brawl A Florida sheriff tore into a group of rowdy boaters after a massive, caught-on-video lakeside brawl left families and children stunned. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, known for his tough talking and zero-tolerance messaging, ripped into the group after a chaotic video showed the punches flying at Lake Winterset, with one person left knocked out on the grass while a woman frantically performed CPR on him. Seconds later, one man sucker-punches another partygoer, sending him flying headfirst into the water, as another man then jumps on top of him and lets loose with a flurry of follow-up punches. In the video, a young girl in a boat can be seen looking on. |

| The
Deeper Rot Exposed in Cincinnati Sophie Starkova Last month’s viral Cincinnati beatdown exposed much of the rot that has not only eaten away at our once-great cities but corroded American society at large. We are witnessing attacks throughout the country, from the Austin Metcalf killing to the savage beating of a teen at a South Carolina football camp over petty perceived threats. As our own Mark Alexander correctly observed, “It’s not just a ‘Cincinnati problem.’” One of the rots we are seeing wear away the fabric of our society is the normalization and acceptance of violence, which has not only brought on the trend of cheering it on, but also the routine of recording the act instead of reporting it. The Cincinnati police chief lamented that more than 100 people were present on the street corner at the time of the fight, and yet only one person called 911. |

| Gov. Youngkin Orders Probe Into
Virginia Schools Funding Abortions for Minors Without Parental Consent Virginia's Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Wednesday instructed the Virginia State Police to conduct a criminal investigation into allegations that schools in Fairfax County funded abortions for minors without parental consent. The governor's office highlighted reports that school officials may have arranged and paid for abortions for multiple minors without notifying the students' parents, which Youngkin argued would be a violation of parental rights. Fairfax County Superintendent Michelle Reid told school administrators and the Fairfax community that the allegations would be "unacceptable" if true and has launched her own investigation into the allegations, per ABC7 News. |

| Whac-a, Meet Mole. In N. Carolina,
As Elsewhere, Anti-DEI Reformers Can’t Keep Up with the Faculty and Staff Graham Hillard Some years ago, I saw in a friend’s kitchen a sign meant to place the house’s terms of engagement beyond dispute: “My dogs live here. The rest of you are just visiting.” Little did I know then that a bit of mass-produced kitsch could explain the higher-ed reformer’s central dilemma. Consider this year’s attempt by the UNC System to bring its schools in line with Trump Administration anti-DEI guidance. As recent events make clear, that effort may fail precisely because the public’s representatives cannot possibly turn over every campus rock or smoke out every defiant faculty member. Why not? As my friend’s sign made clear, it’s a matter of standing. Recalcitrant professors and administrators “live” on campus. However well-intentioned, those charged with overseeing them are merely “visiting.” |

| Rutgers Deletes Race-Based
Scholarships After Civil Rights Complaint Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey has deleted four scholarships from its website after being hit with a civil rights complaint on Friday. The Equal Protection Project (EPP) filed the Aug. 1 complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. The complaint argues that the four scholarships violate Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by giving preference based on race. The university has since deleted all four of the scholarships from its website. However, the complaint provides archived links for each award: |

Arkansas Ban on Gender Mutilation for Minors to Be Enforced A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld an Arkansas law prohibiting doctors from providing gender transition medical treatment to minors, reversing a lower court decision that blocked the first-in-the-nation law. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 8-2 on Tuesday to overturn a lower court decision, now allowing the state to enforce the law. The appeals court cited the U.S. Supreme Court decision in June upholding a similar ban in Tennessee, in which the nation's highest court ruled that the law was constitutional and did not discriminate against transgender people. |

The board "voted to maintain its policies allowing transgender students to use facilities that match their gender identity," defying the Education Department's order to drop the policies, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. |

| The
Grand Conspiracy: Five Things You Need to Know Douglas Andrews There hasn’t been a lot of talk about the Grand Conspiracy lately – at least not since DNI Tulsi Gabbard stunned the mainstream media into silence just over two weeks ago. It was then that Gabbard released evidence that then-President Barack Obama and his henchmen “conspired to subvert President Trump’s 2016 election victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people … while publicly pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power.” While it’s sad, even pathetic, that the legacy media is suddenly dumbstruck about the years-long Russia collusion hoax – which is the most serious political scandal of our lifetimes – it’s not at all unexpected. |

But the answer to “Who’s there?” by the deep state coup d'état cabal of co-conspirators who interfered both with the first election of Donald Trump and then undermined his administration, of may be, “The FBI.” In this case, my preference would be for “no knock” entries! A month ago, we noted that a “grand conspiracy” DoJ investigation was launched... At the time, distinguished legal scholar Jonathan Turley, a former Hillary Clinton supporter, concluded: “The public is now learning about the real Russian conspiracy and its key players.

Trump, Media Looks Past Key Detail That’s Great News for Americans Chris Donaldson In the Democrat-media rush to blame President Donald J. Trump for Friday’s dismal jobs report, one very important detail was largely ignored, and it’s great news for American workers. But according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), native-born Americans have actually experienced job gains while illegal aliens have declined, an early testament to the effectiveness of Trump’s tough new immigration policies. |

Take 'decisive Action' To Counter Democratic Gerrymandering Amid the increasingly high-stakes battle over redistricting, Vice President JD Vance is calling for red states to counter what he calls "aggressive" Democratic gerrymandering in blue states like California, New York and Illinois. At the center of this push is a contentious debate over fairness, representation and the role of illegal immigration in congressional apportionment – an issue Vance argues is tipping the scales unfairly in favor of the Democratic Party. "The democratic system in this country is broken because who you vote for doesn't necessarily get reflected in who your representatives are," he told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures." |

| Chicago Is So Gerrymandered Its
Main Airport Is Parking Backlogged Planes in Two Different Congressional Districts Three days after Texas Democrats took a private jet to Chicago in an attempt to stop their Republican counterparts from passing a new congressional map, the airport they flew to, O'Hare International, experienced a flight backlog that forced planes to park in areas of the airport they would not normally use. The city's House districts are so infamously gerrymandered that those planes were parked in two different congressional districts. The ordeal illustrates the extent to which Illinois Democrats gerrymandered their state's House districts to send as many of their partymates to Washington, D.C., as possible. It also illustrates the unforced error Texas Democrats committed by traveling to Chicago to block Republicans from passing a new map in their own state. |

He named Tammy Bruce, and it's easy to see why. On Saturday, Trump shared in a post on his Truth Social account that he's nominating her for an even more prominent role – this time while helping represent the U.S. at the United Nations.

| Trump Puts Nancy Pelosi's Personal
Finances Before the Public As Only He Can Andrea Widburg Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, owns a small company called Financial Leasing Services, Inc. (estimated annual revenue $434,284) that bills itself as a real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm. Nancy Pelosi herself has spent the last 38 years as a federal employee. Her current salary is $174,000 per year. Nevertheless, Paul and Nancy Pelosi are estimated to be worth around $413 million, up from a “mere” $370 million just two years ago. This power couple’s wealth is almost magical. They are the living embodiment of the fact that, while Republicans get rich and then go into politics, Democrats go into politics and then get rich.  |

| Goodbye to DEI, Crushed by the
Weight of Its Own Hypocrisies Victor Davis Hanson President Donald Trump’s executive orders banning diversity, equity and inclusion-related racial and gender preferencing have ostensibly doomed the DEI industry. But DEI was already on its last legs. ... DEI had insidiously replaced the old notion of affirmative action – a 1960s-era government remedy for historical prejudices against black Americans, from the legacy of slavery to Jim Crow segregation. But during the Obama era, “diversity” superseded affirmative action by offering preferences to many groups well beyond black Americans. |

| Europe’s Not the Only One Failing Because of the Green New Deal; So is New Jersey Andrea Widburg Thomas Kolbe has written about the collapse of the German economy, something pretty shocking to those of us who remember when the German economy seemed unstoppable. What’s slammed the brakes on that juggernaut is central planning that revolves around the whole Green New Deal theory. Other European countries are doing the same. Spain and Portugal had a catastrophic power outage thanks to their green energy policies, and, in England, people are getting cold and dirty in a very 19th-century way because of the UK’s drive for “Net Zero.” Had Kamala been elected last year, America would almost certainly have gone down that path, too. As it is, California’s Gavin Newsom is now begging the refineries that he closed to reopen. ... "You have to be a conservative to appreciate the irony that Western leftists buy solar panels – which are difficult and expensive to recycle, because they have all sorts of nastiness in them – from China, a country that uses coal to manufacture them." |

| Elon Musk Proved Democrats Never
Cared About the Environment Matt Margolis Elon Musk used to be a darling of the left. Then he bought Twitter and turned it into a free speech platform, and the left’s love affair ended overnight. Musk didn’t just stop the censorship of conservatives on one of the biggest social media platforms; he openly endorsed President Trump and went with him to the White House to root out waste and corruption. That’s when the left completely lost it, vandalizing Teslas and attacking dealerships in protest. But their outrage goes even deeper. Musk has exposed something Democrats never wanted you to notice: Their so-called climate principles crumble the moment partisan hatred takes over. Musk’s unapologetic shift to the right triggered such a meltdown on the left that many liberals aren’t just boycotting Tesla; they’re souring on electric vehicles altogether. |

| Meta-Analysis of Over 100 Studies
Shows Gas Stoves Pose NO Increased Risks of Asthma Legal Insurrection readers may recall that in 2023, the Biden administration seriously considered a nationwide ban on gas stoves, blaming “pollutants” released by the appliances. Now, a review of the data from 116 separate studies that was recently published in The Lancet and funded by the World Health Organization shows that heating and cooking with natural gas stoves is not associated with asthma in children or adults. ... The study’s conclusion that there is no association between the use of natural gas and asthma contradicts prior claims of population incidence of asthma attributable to gas, which are only valid where a causal relationship exists. In fact the same study shows that the use of gas stoves has a very positive effect on human health, as follows: |

| Corrupt Democrat Rep. Caught Taking
Bribes In 2013, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife took a seemingly routine trip to Turkey and Azerbaijan, funded by an obscure Houston-based nonprofit. What followed, federal prosecutors now allege, was a years-long scheme involving foreign influence, money laundering, and one of the most serious indictments ever brought against a sitting member of Congress. According to a federal indictment unsealed last week, Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and Mexico’s Banco Azteca. |

Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) deputies responded around 7:10 a.m. after airport operations staff reported a suspicious individual standing outside a dark-colored vehicle in a secure parking zone. When deputies arrived, they found the man, later identified as Michael Rodrigues, 41, of no known local address, outside the vehicle, reportedly getting dressed. Deputies determined the vehicle was a rental and opened the glove compartment to retrieve the rental agreement. Inside, they found a fully loaded AR-15 magazine. |

With payrolls rising by just 73,000 and prior months revised down by a stunning 258,000 jobs, the data confirmed what critics have warned for months: the Fed’s overly tight policy has weakened the labor market.

| Judge Makes Wildly Insane Ruling on
Trump Revoking TPS – May Have Topped Planned Parenthood Absurdity Bonchie It's important to note the context of the people involved here. Specifically regarding the Central Americans granted Temporary Protective Status, that happened under the Clinton administration in response to Hurricane Mitch. Since 1998, that status has been used as a de facto amnesty despite the countries in question having fully recovered some two decades ago. As for those from Nepal, their status stems from an earthquake that struck in 2015. So, before we even get into the details, the justification to continue TPS for the populations in question seems stretched beyond absurdity. Does the word "temporary" even mean anything at this point? It sure doesn't seem like it if a judge can decree it permanent despite the justification for the status no longer even existing. |

Robert Wilson and Lieutenants Patrick Caton, Gerald Hodges and Andrew Mitchell claimed in the suit that the police chief bypassed them for positions they deserved – and instead gave minority and female lieutenants preferential treatment, Newsweek reported. |

| Election Integrity Watchdog: New York’s Voter Rolls Are a ‘Disaster’ M.D. Kittle New York is known for a lot of things: The Big Apple, Niagara Falls, and Buffalo wings. The Empire State also lays claim to some of the worst voter rolls in the country, according to a new report from an election-integrity watchdog. According to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, nearly 50,000 registrants on New York’s voter list are registered in at least one other state. About half of those – 24,873 registrants – are also registered in Florida. Another 6,247 have duplicate registrations in North Carolina, and another 5,724 are also on New Jersey’s voting rolls. |

| Mamdani's Cop-Hating Agenda Speaks
Louder Than His Hollow Words After Horrific NYC Shooting Michael Goodwin Sensible New Yorkers didn’t need yet another reason to vote against Zohran Mamdani for mayor, but Monday’s horrific Midtown slaughter provided a clear illustration of why the radical Democrat must not win the keys to City Hall. Mamdani is in Uganda celebrating his wedding, but his initial statement on X about the bloodbath on Park Avenue rings hollow given his past smears of the NYPD and repeated calls to – “defund the police.” |

| For First Time, Arab League Nations
Condemn Oct. 7, Demand Hamas Leave Gaza While Calling for 2-State Solution In a move to re-establish the two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, the European Union, Arab League and 17 countries joined an agreement Tuesday at a United Nations conference, calling for an end to the Gaza War. Notably, the declaration signed by Arab League nations – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and others – featured the first public condemnation of Hamas for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, along with a clear demand for the terror group to release Israeli hostages, disarm and leave Gaza. The seven-page document is titled “New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine” and was obtained by several news outlets. |

| Sunblock: The Global Fight to Save
Farmland from Big Solar Robert Bryce I made this 10-minute documentary, SUNBLOCK, because I love farmers and ranchers and want to tell their stories. This film is available for free here on Substack and YouTube. I made this film with my own money on a tiny budget with basic equipment so I could produce it quickly and shine a spotlight on the global battle to save prime farmland from the encroachment of giant solar projects. Of course, the widespread destruction of farmland doesn’t fit the narrative that’s relentlessly promoted by climate activists, legacy media outlets, and big NGOs like the Sierra Club, NRDC, and Environmental Defense Fund. And of course, the New York Times and NPR are parroting the same pro-solar narrative. But the facts are clear: solar energy is expanding rapidly; that expansion is gobbling up massive amounts of land; and all over the world, farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners are fighting to protect their property and livelihoods from Big Solar.  |

| Trump Doesn’t Tilt at Windmills –
He Tears Them Down Stephen Green Don Quixote tragically tilted at windmills, mistaking them for monsters. Donald Trump, on the other hand, recognizes the real monster – the subsidies, the blight, and the lies – behind the spinning blades. "They’re killing us. They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good," Trump said to an audience that must have been aghast at his politically incorrect audacity. "When they start to rust and rot in eight years, you can't really turn them off, you can't bury them, they won't let you bury the propellers – you know, the props – because they're a certain type of fiber that doesn't go well with the land, that's what they say, the environmentalists say you can't bury them." |

On that day, the Department of Energy released a lengthy Report with the title “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” ... The Report overall comes off as a fair and balanced assessment of risks and trade-offs, rather than what normally comes from climate academics and journalists, which are cheap attempts to use speculation and fake projections to scare you out of your wits. |

"About 4 in 10 Black adults and about one-third of Hispanic adults say DEI increases discrimination against Black people, compared with about one-quarter of white adults," according to the AP.

Complying with New Title IX Interpretation More than a dozen U.S. states – and the District of Columbia – are refusing to comply with former President Trump’s Feb. 5, 2025, executive order “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” which directs federal agencies to withhold funding from schools and athletic associations that allow males to compete on girls’ teams. That order mandates a biological-sex definition under Title IX and instructs the Department of Education to enforce this interpretation. Yet, Defending Education’s Title IX tracker found that out of 50 states, 18 plus D.C. have publicly rejected the rule via official statements or policies. |

| Virginia Dad Suspended from Pool After Calling Out Boy in Girls’ Races A Virginia father was suspended from a local pool after alerting officials to a boy competing against girls in several swimming races. Woodley Pool, located in Fairfax County, claims they are suspending Luis Enrique Fernandez, a father of six, for allegedly using “repeated vulgarity” toward a parent and members of an opposing team and acting in a “threatening and abusive” manner. However, speaking exclusively to The Daily Wire, Fernandez says the account is not true. The father of six, who has been a paying member of the club since 2019, suspects the Woodley Pool board is punishing him for speaking out about the male competing against females, while using a flimsy pretext – which Fernandez vehemently disputes – as cover. |

| Newly Declassified
Documents Destroy Russian Collusion Hoax Gregg Jarrett The Big Lie was that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 presidential election. It derived from a phony dossier commissioned and financed by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Obama’s national security team happily peddled to destroy his successor. It begat an even bigger whopper that "Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump" and "aspired to help" his election chances. This notorious deceit was inserted in the official Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that was ordered by Obama himself and conjured up by his CIA Director John Brennan. |

| Revenge or Justice? Victor Davis Hanson Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just released a trove of apparently once-classified documents – with promises of much more to follow. The new material describes the role of the Obama administration's intelligence and investigatory directors – purportedly along with former President Barack Obama himself – in undermining the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. In addition, their efforts extended to sabotaging the 2016-2017 presidential transition and, by extension, the first three years of the Trump presidency. The released documents add some new details to what over the last decade has become accepted knowledge. |

| DNI
Tulsi Gabbard: Obama and Clinton Were Coconspirators Mark Alexander  Last
week, amid the self-inflicted distraction over AG Pam Bondi’s “Epstein
Files Fail,” President Donald Trump dropped this teaser: “The 2020
Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in
2024 – That’s what [Bondi] is looking into as AG, and much more.” CIA
Director John Ratcliffe ordered a comprehensive review of the CIA’s
role in the “Russia collusion” investigation ahead of the 2016
election, and the political weaponization of both the CIA and FBI to
fabricate a premise on which to investigate Trump. He declassified the
2020 House Intelligence Committee report, including the Appendix
timeline which notes, “Acting on President Obama’s orders, [then CIA
Director John] Brennan directed a ‘full review’ and publication of raw
HUMINT (Human Intelligence) information that had been collected before
the election.” That is the direct link to Obama. |

| Actually, Obama Can Be Indicted.
Here’s Why. Matt Margolis  This week, investigative journalist John Solomon told Steve Bannon that despite all the evidence that has been declassified linking Barack Obama to the Russiagate hoax, Obama won’t and can't be indicted for his role in the Russian collusion hoax. But is Solomon right? [T]he ruling does not give presidents the power to break the law with impunity. If a president lies to federal investigators, commits fraud, or abuses power outside the scope of his official duties, he can still face prosecution. The Court explicitly left the door open for criminal charges – even against sitting or former presidents – if the conduct in question was personal, political, or unrelated to the legitimate functions of the presidency. |

Russiagate, But Documents Put Him At the Heart of It  President
Barack Obama has sought to distance himself from the Russiagate
scandal, but evidence – including records of key meetings he attended
and an unambiguous directive he issued – puts him at the heart of some
of the bogus Trump-Russia claims. The chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee said Wednesday that “there were a lot of people
involved, and it goes all the way up to President Obama.” Rep. Rick
Crawford, R-Ark., who leads the important intelligence oversight panel,
told Just the News, No Noise that Obama
cannot be allowed to avoid responsibility: “He can’t plead
ignorance. He can’t play the plausible deniability card. He
was intimately involved in this and authorized it.” |

| Jessica Tarlov Flips Out When Confronted with Facts on Russia Hoax Matt Margolis The liberal media is in full meltdown mode over the latest bombshells exposing the Russian collusion hoax – and this time, the fallout reaches straight into Barack Obama’s inner circle, possibly even the man himself. Watching the panic set in has been something to behold. But for pure unintentional comedy, nothing beats the reaction over at Fox News, where resident left-wing mouthpiece Jessica Tarlov completely lost it – again – during a segment on “The Five.” What triggered the outburst? Jesse Watters dared to cite the mountain of evidence blowing apart one of the Democrats’ most sacred myths: that Vladimir Putin was obsessed with electing Donald Trump in 2016. |

Parenthood on Wednesday for Allegedly Misleading Women About the
Abortion Pill’s Dangers The abortion provider makes “brazenly false” claims about the abortion pill, mifepristone, to boost revenue, putting women at risk by suggesting it is “safer than many other medicines like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra,” the lawsuit alleges. “The national Planned Parenthood organization is actively endangering the lives of women and girls across the country by spreading lies and disinformation about the powerful chemical abortion drug,” Bailey said in a statement. “The facts are clear: more than 4.5 percent of women who take this dangerous drug end up in the emergency room, yet Planned Parenthood compares it to Tylenol. This is a blatant violation of Missouri law, and I will not allow a death factory to lie to Missouri women in pursuit of its radical agenda.” Planned Parenthood Sues Nevada Over 40-Year Abortion Law A 40-year-old dormant law requiring Nevada minors to notify parents before an abortion was enacted for the first time Tuesday evening. In anticipation on Monday, Planned Parenthood launched a lawsuit to block the dormant law, Senate Bill 510, and to return the permanent injunction that had kept the 1985 law from being enforced. “For decades, unmarried and unemancipated adolescents have been allowed to and trusted to make decisions related to their pregnancies without forced parental involvement or judicial involvement,” read the Planned Parenthood complaint to Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court. |

The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), an Israeli aid group, posted on X yesterday aerial footage of the pallets of aid that are waiting to be handed out to hungry Gazans. The UN refused, claiming that the organization prioritizes IDF military objectives over neutral humanitarian aid.

"Hallie Helgeson and Brady Heiling had their whole lives ahead of them -- and they would still be alive today if it weren’t for Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila -- a criminal illegal alien from Honduras," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. "Martinez-Avila recklessly drove the wrong way on a highway while intoxicated and killed these two teens. "ICE has lodged an arrest detainer to remove this public safety threat from the U.S.," she continued. "Unfortunately, this sanctuary jurisdiction has a history of not honoring ICE arrest detainers often leading to the release of murderers and other heinous criminals. Under Secretary Noem, these precious victims will not be forgotten, and we will fight for justice." |

That plan includes using subpoenas, prosecutions or revocation of federal funding, DOJ Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in a civil rights and DEI-focused Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday. “The goal is clear – either DEI will end on its own, or we will kill it,” Dhillon told lawmakers, arguing that DEI, by pushing for equity-based outcomes rather than individual rights and opportunity, is “a form of group justice that is a Marxist concept” and equates to “invidious racial discrimination.” “The modern civil rights machine, both inside and outside the government, has been wielded like a weapon.” –Eric Schmitt |

The decision comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February called “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The USOPC updated its Athlete Safety Policy on its website, telling sports groups like those for swimming, track, and fencing to follow the new rule.

DEI Hire at SCOTUS Hits a New Low Emmy Griffin Last week, The Washington Post published an op-ed by a distressed professional clown who was deeply offended that Donald Trump was counted among his merry band. In other words, leftists love to call Trump “a clown.” Clearly, though, all of the Left’s acolytes are clowns, and no one is more clownish these days than Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Three years ago, the Joe Biden-appointed jurist infamously claimed during her confirmation hearing that she couldn’t define what a woman is because she’s “not a biologist.” More recently, in the Trump v. CASA decision last month, the justice’s dissenting opinion used the meme phrase “wait for it” and asserted that the judiciary had to act in order to restrain a monarchical executive branch. It was so bad that Justice Amy Coney Barrett addressed it in withering terms in her own opinion for the majority. |

Writing in the New York Post, the former House Oversight Committee chairman pulls back the curtain on what may be the most comprehensive assault on American democracy we've witnessed in our lifetime – and it's happening with our own tax dollars. Chaffetz revealed that the Biden administration didn't just weaponize federal agencies against political opponents; it orchestrated an elaborate data-theft operation that would make authoritarian regimes jealous. As Chaffetz explains, "Federal entities outsourced unlawful data collection to politically sympathetic partners. Rather than directly amassing data, they procured or exchanged it from or with nonprofits and technology firms." |

Claims of Obama-Era Cabal's 'Treasonous Conspiracy' Against Trump Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard detailed "striking" findings from declassified documents released Friday, claiming to showcase "overwhelming evidence" that an Obama-era cabal laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe after the 2016 election. "The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic," Gabbard said on this week's "Sunday Morning Futures." "Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic," she continued. |

That’s a bit above the Fed’s 2% target and the highest since February, but it was exactly what Wall Street expected. Actually, it was better. |

| Why Is Cutting 0.1% of the $6.75
Trillion Federal Budget So Hard? Rick Moran The U.S. Senate passed a bill that cuts around $9 billion from funds for public broadcasting and foreign aid. That represents cutting 0.1% of the $6.75 trillion in federal spending from a budget with a $2 trillion deficit. And these were the easy cuts. Republicans have been clamoring for decades to cut foreign aid and stop funding public broadcasting. Still, the vote was 51-48 with two GOP senators defecting. This shows the obstacles to cutting enough government spending to make a dent in the federal budget deficit, much less start the process of bringing down the national debt. |

| Biden: I Made All the Pardon
Decisions. NYT: Well ... Maybe? Ed Morrissey When you've lost the New York Times ... Joe Biden wants us all to know how offended he is over suggestions that he didn't make all the decisions in his presidency. The umbrage Biden had taken turned out to be great enough for him to grant a telephone interview to the Gray Lady to refute all suggestions otherwise. But even if the Old Gray Mare ain't what she used to be, even the NYT can't quite reconcile the sheer volume of autopenned clemency actions with the idea that Biden approved all of his pardons and commutations personally and knowingly. |

and the GOP Look to Gain More Seats in the Midterms Through Redistricting In Texas, they're about to vote on a plan that should, in theory, if everything works out, give the GOP five additional House seats. They're doing this by "unpacking" red voters from red districts and moving some of the red voters into blue districts, in hopes that the new red voters can flip those districts. There's always a danger to doing this: by making the red districts less red and more blue, you create the possibility that you'll lose red seats if there's a blue wave. When you spread out your voters into more districts, you have a better chance to gain more territory, but you also increase the risks that the enemy can seize your more-lightly defended bastions, too. |

Discussing Drone 'Mega Deal' with Ukraine – As U.S. Tech Lags Behind
Adversaries: 'the People of America Need This Technology' President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, are considering a “mega deal” that would see the U.S. buy battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kyiv agreeing to buy a swath of weapons from America, the Ukrainian leader said. Speaking exclusively with The Post on Wednesday, Zelensky revealed that his latest talks with Trump focused on a breakthrough deal that would see the U.S. and Ukraine prop up each other’s aerial technology – with Kyiv offering to share everything it’s learned about modern warfare in the three-year conflict with Russia. |

They sound the alarm on a so-called climate emergency – again and again.

JAMA Has Stepped Up Its Anti-Gun Fiction Campaign Lee Williams Doctors are increasing their anti-gun fight against President Donald J.

When Biden occupied the White House, JAMA only published an anti-gun story every couple of months. However, under President Trump, this has changed dramatically. |

The memo accuses the Biden-Harris administration of directly and indirectly funding “radical leftist” organizations behind the 2023 anti-government protests in Israel. “The Committee’s oversight has revealed that the Biden-Harris Administration provided grant funds to groups that contributed directly and indirectly to the judicial reform protests that sought to undermine the Israeli government,” the document disclosed. |

in Limbo. Let’s kill It. J.D. Tuccille The fate of the U.S. Department of Education is currently in limbo. President Donald Trump came into office promising – among other things – to rid us of this unnecessary federal bureaucracy. Democrats, closely aligned with teachers unions, vowed to prevent him from doing anything of the sort. The Trump administration has offloaded many of the department's responsibilities and dismissed staff, but without a congressional vote to abolish the department, those decisions have been challenged in court. As it now stands, the bureaucratic behemoth has been hobbled but not yet disposed of. |

Indoctrinating Children to Hate the West Joel Kotkin The breakdown in relations between the U.S.’s top teacher’s union, the National Education Association (NEA), and the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights group focused on tackling anti-Semitism, reflects a deeper and dangerous takeover of education by determined activists. Besides the usual financial demands, education is increasingly seen as a means to achieve progressive, even radical “social justice”, which of course means boycotting anything connected to Israel. The NEA is clearly taking political sides, claiming that it is pledging “to defend democracy against Trump’s embrace of fascism”. |

| California Illegal Immigrant Faked
ICE ‘kidnapping’ At Fast-Food Joint for Fundraiser Scam – As Family
Pleaded for Public’s Help Richard Pollina  An
illegal immigrant and mother was arrested for staging a fake
“kidnapping” – where bounty hunters took her at gunpoint and tried
forcing her to self-deport at a fast-food restaurant – to scam people
and “smear federal law enforcement.” “Dangerous rhetoric that ICE
agents are ‘kidnapping’ illegal immigrants is being recklessly peddled
by politicians and echoed in the media to inflame the public and
discredit our courageous federal agents,” U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli
said in a statement. “The conduct alleged in today’s complaint
shows this hoax kidnapping was a well-orchestrated conspiracy.”
The hoax kicked off when Calderon’s family and attorneys held a press
conference on June 30, saying armed men ambushed her in two unmarked
trucks at a Jack in the Box restaurant parking lot in downtown Los
Angeles. |

Common with Flying After being examined for swelling in the legs, President Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, according to a White House announcement. This condition, in which valves inside certain veins don’t work the way they should, allowing blood to pool or collect in the veins, is more common with age. Overall, chronic venous insufficiency affects about 1 in 20 adults, according to the Cleveland Clinic. When the valves in veins don’t work correctly, fluid can collect in the lower limbs and feet, explains Dr. Chauncey Crandall, world-renowned cardiologist and director of preventive medicine at the Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Florida. |

30 Years Stephen Moore Everyone knows that the "big, beautiful" tax bill signed into law on the Fourth of July lowers tax burdens for families and businesses. It also averts a $4 trillion tax increase starting next year. That's enough reason to heartily celebrate. But what isn't well known is that this new law doesn't just change tax policy. It includes dozens of other long-sought policy goals – what I call "hidden gems." Here is a list of some of the major policy victories: The law is the most aggressive federal advancement of school choice by allowing low-income parents to direct education dollars to private, charter or Catholic schools that are better for their kids. |

| Golden Age: Trump Tariffs Deliver
Surprise Budget Surplus The federal government posted an unexpected budget surplus in June, fueled by a sharp rise in tariff revenues and higher-than-anticipated tax receipts, marking a notable vindication for President Donald Trump’s economic strategy. The $27 billion surplus reported Friday by the Treasury Department stood in stark contrast to forecasts for a $50 billion deficit, representing one of the largest upside surprises in recent budget data. Monthly surpluses typically occur in April, when many Americans file their taxes. Surpluses are also common in January and September. A June surplus is highly unusual. |

Welcomes Those Who Want to Kill Jews Matt Margolis The Democratic Party has built its brand around “tolerance,” but in reality, that word has become a smokescreen for some of the most extreme, indefensible positions in modern politics. They call it women’s rights, but what they really mean is unrestricted abortion on demand – right up to birth. They label it transgender rights, but we’re talking about grown men exposing themselves to young girls and being celebrated for it. The party’s so-called “big tent” isn’t inclusive – it’s a sanctuary for fringe activism and moral decay. What once passed for liberalism has morphed into a disturbing embrace of chaos, all under the false banner of compassion. And now the Democrats’ special brand of tolerance includes violent antisemitism. |

According to Ratcliffe: “[President Trump] has trusted me with helping to end weaponization of U.S. intelligence. [This] report underscores that the 2016 IC Assessment was conducted through an atypical and corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan and former FBI Dir. Comey. All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals – all to get Trump.

Governor Andrew Cuomo, before he was unceremoniously forced out of office, convinced state lawmakers to shell out over $100 million to purchase decorative LED lights to enhance the beauty of some of New York's most iconic bridges. The cost seems excessive, but this is the government. You have to make room for paying double or triple to satisfy all the people with their hands out – they need to make an excessive profit, pay exorbitant salaries to preferred workers, throw some money at consulting and design firms, and leave some money left over to recycle into political donations. |

| Reinstating
School Discipline Emmy Griffin It’s hard to explain to a non-teacher exactly what an educator experiences and works through during any given school day. Teaching is simultaneously the most rewarding and the most devastating of professions. As a former teacher, I remember one year when I had a student who was regularly defiant, disruptive, impulsive, and on some days a danger to his classmates. At one point I even had to prevent violence with an accessory aimed at a classmate; after being foiled, the unruly student deliberately whacked me with his arm. In spite of the constant interruptions from this student’s constant poor behavior, my class still managed to learn. As a private school teacher, these experiences were admittedly an anomaly. But such behavioral chaos is less rare for a public school teacher. |

Grant after Backlash Baylor University will “rescind their acceptance” of a $643,000 grant to promote LGBT “inclusion and belonging” in Christian churches, university President Linda Livingstone announced Wednesday in a letter published on the university website.

The grant would facilitate LGBT-identifying young adults to discuss their experience of “institutional betrayal” in churches, which “might involve exclusion from church activities, family estrangement, and painful conflicts.” It would also aim to “nurture institutional courage and foster change.” |
