Federal judge says House Democrats are
entitled to some - but not all -
of Donald Trump’s tax records
as it probes whether president's
businesses received foreign payments

A House committee investigating former President Trump's finances is entitled to some but not all of his tax records, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday, delivering a blow to his efforts to keep them private.It represents the latest twist in a complex web of court cases in a years long battle to force Trump to release his tax returns. U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta approved a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoena obliging Trump's accountants Mazars to hand over documents from 2017 to 2018. But he turned down most of the panel’s request for information dating back to 2011.

Brandtjen Spoke to One America News about the subpoenas and said the people of Wisconsin deserve to know the truth.Trump went on to say we must demand elected officials follow the law and hold them accountable. He also called on Republicans
There is an old wildland firefighter joke.Q: How does a smokejumper stop a fire in the kitchen?A: He lights a control fire in the living room.That, apparently, is the strategy California Governor Gavin Newsom is employing to stay alive during the recall. Newsom announced on Friday that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala “25A” Harris will campaign on his behalf in the upcoming weeks. The duo is slated for personal appearances and social media plugs.Seriously, these two? I can hear it now from POTUS: “We’ve got to elect the guy to, you know

The Biden administration is seeking to defy Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his recent statewide ban of mask mandates in schools by providing financial assistance to educational institutions that implement such mandates."Florida’s recent actions to block school districts from voluntarily adopting science-based strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19 that are aligned with the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) puts students and staff at risk," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona wrote in a letter addressed to DeSantis
New York’s governor-in-waiting needs a no. 2 —and is eyeing a political ally from downstate who can help her keep the job. Kathy Hochul, who takes over from Gov. Cuomo on Aug. 24, has been mulling two state senators from the Big Apple to assume her current post as lieutenant governor, sources told The Post. Jamaal Bailey from the Bronx and Harlem’s Brian A. Benjamin are under consideration for the coveted spot, they said. “She wants a downstate ally to run for re-elect,” one insider said. “She’s trying to map her political future.
How many times have you asked, or been asked, over the last year, something like, “What would Martin Luther King Jr. think about the state of today’s race relations in America?” Or, even better, what would MLK think about critical race theory and the efforts to erase everything he fought for?
Chances are, if you’ve asked or been asked the question, you know exactly what he’d think.Someone else who knows exactly what Martin Luther King Jr. would think is his niece, Dr. Alveda King, who recently wrote an op-ed for Fox News’s digital platform that would no doubt make her uncle proud; Dr. King took on the “woke white folks”
In the waning days of the Trump administration, the country was showing signs of economic improvement, people were feeling more confident about battling COVID, and the border was relatively secure as the wall was finally being constructed.What a difference seven months can make. It has been a horrific 207 days since President Joe Biden and his radical administration were unleashed on the country.In effect, a political apocalypse is approaching. In the New Testament Book of Revelation, the four horsemen of the apocalypse are revealed to be "Conquest, War, Famine, and Death."
Flags, False and True

A European visitor once remarked to me that he found the American practice of flying the flag outside of homes odd. In Europe, he said, flag flying, if done at all, tended to confine itself to proletarian sports enthusiasm and to local decorative flag flying. After all, everyone already knows in what country they are residing.Americans take or, until recently took, an extraordinary pride in flying their national flag. Roughly 150 million American flags are sold each year in the United States. In a little over two years, one flag has been sold in the United States for each person resident here.
President Joe Biden is quickly proving to be the weakest president in modern history. According to a bombshell new report, the Taliban has seized US weapons and military equipment in Afghanistan. The equipment includes guns, artillery and even tanks.The report, released by the Washington Free Beacon, came after video footage began spreading online showing terrorists with United States weaponry.Check it out: (Tweets/Videos) The Washington Free Beacon reported:The Taliban has seized scores of American weapons and military equipment from Afghan security forces as the terrorist group accelerates its takeover following the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country.
On Monday, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ordered a “code red,” releasing a “landmark” report warning that global warming was an existential threat to humanity, “unequivocally” blaming humans and demanding rapid action to cut greenhouse-gas emissions.“What the IPCC told us is what President Biden has believed all along,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki noted Tuesday. “Climate change is an urgent threat that requires bold action.”The very next day, the Biden administration released a statement imploring the OPEC cartel to increase production of oil to help lower worldwide gas prices.
Texas House Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Black is going door to door to round up Democrats in the Lone Star State in an effort to reach quorum so the legislature can vote on election security, according to KXAN. The House needs two-thirds of its members present to hold a vote, but Democrats have refused to show up, with nearly 60 fleeing to Washington, DC last month in a flashy display of defiance. Local law enforcement is also assisting in the search, and if they find any lawmakers they can take them into custody and bring them to the Texas House chamber.

The final report of the 2020 Census that will be used to redraw lines for congressional districts within 44 states was released by the Census Bureau on Thursday, setting the stage for redistricting battles in state legislatures around the country.The process of redrawing congressional district boundaries has the potential of changing the majority control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections from Democrats to Republicans. Thursday’s report added demographic detail at the census tract level within each state, a more granular analysis than the 2020 Census data released in April, which offered aggregate data at the state level.
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell said President Joe Biden’s 90-day COVID origins investigation is an insult to the career intelligence officials who have been probing the virus’s origins for well over a year and will continue to do so as new information comes in.Grenell, who led the intelligence community during the early months of the pandemic from February to May 2020, said Biden’s May 26, 2021, directive to the intelligence community to “redouble their efforts” to determine the origins of the virus shows the president never paid attention to the evidence he likely received during his daily briefings.

The adult LGBTQ population in the United States reported living in households facing much higher levels of food insecurity when compared to non-LGBTQ adults, according to data recently released by the Census Bureau.
Of the more than 64,000 people who responded to a recent survey by the bureau, 13.1% of LGBTQ adults reported living in a household “where there was sometimes or often not enough to eat in the past seven days,” compared to 7.2% non-LGBTQ adults. The latest version of the Household Pulse Survey, which measures household experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, also included questions about respondents’ sexual orientation and gender identity.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney chose to raise awareness recently about the most obvious thing in Washington: The Democrats’ control of the U.S. House of Representatives is in serious jeopardy. Politico’s story “House Dem campaign chief warns the majority at risk without message reboot” amplified Mr. Maloney’s cry for help but made it clear that Democrats are in serious denial about the dire situation they’ve created for themselves.
Not only is history working against them - a new President’s party almost always loses seats in Congress in their first midterm election - but Democrats have the smallest majority in 100 years and
President Joe Biden is weighing vaccines mandates for interstate travel, according to the Associated Press (AP) on Thursday.
“Still, while more severe [coronavirus] measures — such as mandating vaccines for interstate travel or changing how the federal government reimburses treatment for those who are unvaccinated and become ill with COVID-19 — have been discussed,” the AP writes, “the administration worried that they would be too polarizing for the moment.” For the time being, the White House seems content with shaming those who are unvaccinated, while demanding private companies mandate vaccinations for their employees.
For instance, Biden told churchgoers April 1, they were being ungodly if they did not become vaccinated.
Earlier this week video was released of President Biden’s son Hunter Biden naked with a hooker complaining about Russians stealing his laptop for blackmail purposes.

As Afghanistan continues to fall to the Taliban at a "faster-than-expected" pace, those who served in the war are reportedly "riveted in horror" watching the militant group make gains, and immensely frustrated by the withdrawal that's threatening to undo their 20 years of work, The Washington Post reports. "It makes me angry, really angry," said Tom Amenta, a retired veteran who was originally deployed in 2002. Afghanistan "has never had a clean solution," he told the Post. "But now that it's gotten hard, we're just going to bounce? It doesn't make it right." The United Kingdom's Foreign Affairs Select Committee

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has issued guidelines that suggest employing such terms as “chestfeeding,” “human milk feeding,” and “parent’s milk” to promote what it calls “gender-inclusive language.” The ABM position statement on “infant feeding and lactation-related language and gender,” co-authored by eight doctors and the academy, said that “the use of de-sexed or gender-inclusive language is appropriate in many settings.” “ABM recognizes that not all people who give birth and lactate identify as female, and that some of these individuals identify as neither female nor male,” said the four-page document posted July 29. Suggested “gender-inclusive terms” for “breastfeeding” include “chestfeeding, lactating,
The Taliban have retaken 12 provincial Afghanistan capitals following the U.S. military’s secretive overnight withdrawal from Bagram Airfield earlier this year (U.S. officials didn’t even notify the base’s new Afghan commander before silently slipping away, leaving the official to discover for himself, nearly two hours after the fact, that the Americans had Irish Goodbye’d after nearly 20 years of occupation).Since the May 1 departure, the Taliban have captured 69 of the country's 407 districts, including ones American and Afghan officials previously considered impenetrable government strongholds against the terrorist group. In total,
Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Thursday that he can't rule out people having to have COVID-19 booster shots indefinitely as the virus continues to surge. Fauci, the chief medical advisor to the president, made his comments in an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN in which he also warned that fully vaccinated people with so-called breakthrough infections can still get long-term COVID. 'We know a lot more than we did to start, but there's obviously, you know, we need to be humble in the face of this virus,' Fauci said.

MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid continued on her warpath against conservatives and Republicans while poisoning her left-wing viewership, telling them on Thursday that their right-of-center coworkers, family members, and friends possess “nonsensical, homicidal arguments” that lack “a really strong feeling about staying alive…and keeping their kids alive” amidst the coronavirus pandemic. And, of course, Reid had plenty of help in the form of dutiful guests who saw little reason to disagree with her dangerous rhetoric.
For decades, the Democrat “death tax” has been greatly frowned upon by Republicans and the American people. Most Americans hate the concept of taxing someone’s wealth after they have died however this has not stopped Democrats from gouging money from a deceased person’s family.National Review reports that the death tax has dropped from 55% to 40% this century however it now appears that the Biden administration wants more.You heard that right: The Biden administration wants to tax you or your loved one’s dead body.
He sure is. One can give him a partial pass on COVID’s resurgence since the rise of the Delta variant was out of his hands. But the other three here are squarely on him. Even COVID is only a partial pass. Many millions of senior citizens are sitting around waiting to be infected as the immunity from shots they received six or seven months ago ebbs. What are Biden’s CDC and FDA doing about it? Jack at the moment, to all appearances.
I have no sense of how the catastrophic lightning fall of Afghanistan’s government will play with voters.
