The Working Families Tax Cuts (WFTC) has done tremendous good for the American people. At the beginning of the month, Republicans hailed the one-year anniversary of those tax cuts and found that refunds were up 11 percent, with the average refund exceeding $3,400. The No Tax on Tips and No Tax on Overtime provisions, as well as No Tax on Social Security, meant more money in American pockets.
Democrats, of course, unanimously opposed the WFTC and the One Big Beautiful Bill. But once they realized how beneficial and popular the WFTC actually were, they started to try and take credit for them. They're still doing it, too.
RFK Catches Something in the Fauci Diaries

Never Told Anybody’ replies
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle" Monday, claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci received the COVID vaccine in a very public ceremony, then roughly five months later, suffered a "pulmonary infarction."
According to RFK, Fauci never told anyone about it. It's one of many alleged lies laid out by the prominent Kennedy family member.
"He lied about masks. He lied about the social distancing. He lied about the transmission, and he lied about natural immunity," he told Fox News personality Laura Ingraham. "He lied about the capacity, as you just said, of the vaccine to prevent infection."
A Fox News poll finds that a majority of Democrats say they have a favorable view of the Democratic Socialists of America. But our I&I/TIPP Poll found that Democrats reject – sometimes overwhelmingly – key DSA policy proposals.
What explains the gap?
The Fox Poll also found that 52% of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism, compared with 11% of Republicans and 17% of independents. Support for the Democratic Socialists of America is even stronger, with 59% of Democrats expressing a favorable view, compared with 6% of Republicans.

Evan Barker believed she was a lifelong Democrat. Born into a Kansas City union family, she campaigned for Barack Obama while still in high school and was a community organizer for Hillary Clinton in 2015. Working for the consultancy Left Rising, she writes, “I built my name as a ruthless fundraiser … I was a live player who helped progressive insurgents” — including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush and Jasmine Crockett — “infiltrate from within.” But her new book, “Nothing Left” (Threshold Editions), out today, gives a look at how Barker lost faith in her party — and, in 2024, voted for Donald Trump.

Graham funeral replies
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are expected to meet with President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
At Trump's invitation, Netanyahu flew to Washington on Monday for Sen. Lindsey Graham's funeral service, according to his office. Zelensky also plans to attend the service, CNBC reported.
During their visits, both leaders will meet with Trump, giving them an opportunity to discuss their agendas regarding conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
Zelensky's visit comes as the U.S. and Ukrainian officials have been contemplating a new peace proposal to end the war in Ukraine, which is now in its fourth year. For Netanyahu,

Theory ‘Highly Likely’ While Publicly
Shutting It Down replies
The latest revelations from Sen. Rand Paul’s investigation into the origin of Covid expose what may be one of the most consequential scientific deceptions in history.
The 1,123 pages of private Slack messages exchanged among the authors of the highly influential “Proximal Origin” paper reveal that the scientists who publicly declared that a laboratory origin of Covid was not plausible privately held a very different view. They repeatedly acknowledged that a laboratory origin remained possible, discussed flaws in their own arguments, and struggled to defend the natural origin theory.
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” former Trump Deputy National Security Adviser KT McFarland said that “The best solution” in Iran is “sort of a slow-rolling regime change, slow-rolling coup, where the IRGC loses control” and others like the parliament gain control due to Iran’s economy struggling. She also stated that, after the mutual number one interest of eliminating Iran’s nuclear program, the interests of the U.S. and Israel “kind of diverge. Because [Prime Minister] Netanyahu has said, well, they want regime change. President Trump has said, no, not necessarily.”
This just in: China is not a friend of the United States. They may be a trading partner, but they are not our friends. Now, as further proof of that, we can point to evidence that the Chinese Communist Party may have been paying for complimentary news coverage from quite a laundry list of American legacy media figures. Natalie Winters is a Washington correspondent for the Bannon War Room. On Monday, with now less than 100 days until the midterm elections, Natalie Winters has broken quite the story: It seems American legacy media members have been taking trips, funded by the Chinese Communist Party, to China -

and transcripts of Biden interview with ghostwriter replies
Former President Joe Biden revealed classified information to his ghostwriter in 2016 and 2017 as the pair worked on his memoir following his tenure as vice president, newly released audio recordings and interview transcripts confirmed Monday. (snip)
The Project also highlighted that the pauses the former president took in the interview and the confusion demonstrated in the transcripts showed that Biden's mental decline was already taking place in 2017, before he became president.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., released a trove of Anthony Fauci’s diary entries Saturday, the latest in a series of document dumps further exposing the corruption of many of the scientists and government officials behind the tyrannical response to Covid. Among other revelations, Fauci’s entries from December 2019 to December 2022 reveal a man fixated on legacy media appearances, the perks of fame, and the growing Fauci “cult” even as the pandemic escalated.
The size of Fauci’s ego is no surprise to anyone who lived through Covid with his eyes open. He was notorious for doing home interviews with a portrait of himself in the background. He once claimed,

Univ un-enrolls over 500 students over
unpaid tuition replies
Just a few weeks before the first day of class, Howard University retracted the admission of 502 incoming freshmen, whom it says failed to pay tuition on time. Now, New York is opening up its public university system to affected students and offering $800 credits to offset non-refundable deposit costs.
The would-be incoming Howard students were notified July 22 by the school of their dis-enrollment, and many took to social media afterward to lament the situation.
Several attributed their delayed tuition payments to waiting for private scholarships and other financial aid promises from Howard, a private school and one the country's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Trump and Congress Should Reject the US-Saudi
Nuclear Deal replies
The [US-Saudi civilian nuclear] agreement threatens to weaken decades of US non-proliferation policy, ignite a regional arms race, embolden America's adversaries, and create security risks that future generations may be powerless to reverse.
The most controversial aspect of the proposed agreement is that it reportedly allows Saudi Arabia to develop domestic uranium enrichment capabilities under safeguards that fall short of the stringent standards previously demanded by Washington. While low-enriched uranium is used to fuel civilian nuclear reactors, the same technology can eventually produce highly enriched uranium suitable for nuclear weapons.
Several prominent Senate Republicans have joined President Donald Trump in pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the Senate’s August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, the voter-integrity legislation championed by the president.
The legislation aims to prevent noncitizens from voting.
As of Monday morning, Sens. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rick Scott, R-Fla., Mike Lee, R-Utah, Jim Banks, R-Ind., John Kennedy, R-La., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., have come out in favor of passing the legislation before recess.
Banks stated that after New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced that more than 6,600 noncitizens had been accidentally registered to vote, there has been a new push among Republicans to enact the legislation.
Some sectors of Louisiana’s economy faced challenges because of the Trump administration’s tariff policy, but House Speaker Mike Johnson said he believes the overall impact has been positive because it corrected what he described as trade disparities.
The administration turned to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 for authority to impose new tariffs, according to a White House memorandum. The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled earlier this year that the president could not impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
This month, the administration announced tariffs on imports from 60 economies, the memorandum said.
Sami Winc: Let’s turn to California, and California seems to be a petri dish of all those ideas that the Democrats have going. I’ll read a few of the things that are happening this week in California, and you can provide us with commentary.
The first thing that I think is very interesting is that the federal Congress, the House, has passed a bill for the defense budget of $1.15 trillion. In it, Donald Trump has the ability to seize property in California for an oil pipeline. The property they’re looking at is down near Santa Barbara.
The American auto industry is protected and thriving—and that’s thanks to Republicans in Congress doing their job, President Donald Trump said in a rally on July 27.
Trump spoke at the General Motors facility in Milford, Michigan on Monday ahead of the Senate primary debate to come later that evening.
The president emphasized that America is doing well, attributing much of the credit to Republicans in Congress, and inviting several Republican candidates on stage.
“And thanks to our Republican majorities in Congress, we actually made interest on auto loans fully tax deductible—but only if the car is made in America,” Trump said.
President Donald Trump is asking the Senate to abolish the Senate filibuster and adopt the SAVE America Act to get illegal aliens off of the voter rolls and to require proof of citizenship to register to vote from now on, citing over 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada alone. So far, the Senate is saying there aren’t the votes to abolish the filibuster.
What can be done in the interim, then?
Anyone registering to vote in the United States fills out the form under penalty of perjury, including the section where they check off if they’re a U.S. citizen. Meaning,
It’s summertime and Ukraine is rockin’ her Ozempic body. And you’ve gotta admit, she’s lookin’ pretty dang hot. (More on that — and why MAGA provocateur Laura Loomer’s Ukrainian conversion matters — in just a sec.)
There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who harbor self-aggrandizing revenge fantasies against the people who rejected us… and those who are dirty, filthy liars.

Last Friday, Joe Biden gave up the fight and declined to seek further review of an appeals court ruling on the release of 70 hours of conversations with his ghostwriter in 2017.
This was years before Democrats pushed Old Joe to run for president and rigged the primary and general elections in his favor.
The Oversight Project on Monday afternoon released recordings of Joe Biden’s interviews with his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. Oversight Project published more than 70 hours of recordings from Biden’s 2016 and 2017 conversations with his “Promise Me, Dad” ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer.
In the wake of a mass shooting in Seattle Sunday, the city’s Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson is facing scrutiny for deactivating surveillance cameras in parts of the city to protect criminals and illegal aliens.
A shootout between two thugs at Seattle’s Bite of Seattle food festival Sunday evening left three people dead and four others injured, including a toddler.
Seattle Police and SWAT teams responded within seconds, performing emergency aid at the scene and launching a search for suspects. Police reportedly recovered two guns at the scene.
Police identified the deceased victims as a 19-year-old man, 44-year-old man, and 56-year-old woman.

After France Says Unthinkable About Trump Administration replies
The French have done it again. The nation that gave the world the baguette, camembert cheese, and snooty accents crossed a big red line on social media after a U.N. Security Council meeting on Friday. The U.S. envoy, Dan Negrea, a senior delegation official and alternate representative at the General Assembly, slammed France’s “disingenuous grandstanding” and walked out during a Monday meeting
What drew the ire of the seasoned diplomat? France compared the United States to… North Korea.
No, seriously. Negrea took the French to task over their dishonest smear of the United States.
It is apropos that the same week that former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci will be grilled before the Senate on his COVID deception and falsehoods, Joe Biden's former Health and Human Services Secretary and CA governor candidate Xavier Becerra would also be in the crosshairs. Becerra is already under scrutiny for the 300,000 unaccompanied minors that went missing under his watch, when he served as HHS Secretary. On Monday, a whistleblower came forward and pulled the lid off of just how the sponsors of these children were vetted. Or rather, how they were not vetted.
Do you remember how, during the 2020 campaign, Donald Trump warned voters that China knew things about the Biden family's business dealings that gave Beijing real leverage over Joe Biden? He said Biden was compromised, and the legacy media rolled its eyes, called it a conspiracy theory, and moved on. Well, it turns out Trump was right the whole time.
Emmy-winning investigative reporter Catherine Herridge has spent years digging into the Biden family's foreign entanglements, going back to her coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop. While combing through newly declassified material tied to China's 2020 election influence operation, she found something that should be front-page news everywhere:

to allow order targeting mail-in voting
before midterms replies
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to clear the way for an executive order from President Donald Trump that could dramatically change mail-in voting ahead of November’s midterm elections.
The Justice Department asked the justices to halt for now lower court decisions blocking the sweeping changes in nearly half the country.
The request comes shortly after Trump delivered a primetime address elevating his yearslong push to raise doubts about the legitimacy of elections, and could be one of several voting-related challenges before the court ahead of the high-stakes midterm contest.
