Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had such expensive tastes that he demanded gifts in the form of cigars to dip into Cointreau liqueur, a Jerusalem court heard today. Netanyahu is undergoing a blockbuster corruption trial on charges of fraud and breach of trust for allegedly accepting luxury gifts from billionaires Arnon Milchan and James Packer worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, advancing the former's various interests in return.(Snip)'If I'd give three bottles of champagne, [Sara would] complain, 'Why only three?" she added. Sara's favourite champagne was a rosé from Moet & Chandon, while she also delivered the premium Dom Perignon vintage brand, which Klein said they would pay

Even as the Army struggles to fill its ranks during the most severe military recruiting downturn in years, thousands of troops in the Army National Guard and Army Reserve who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine are being told this week they won’t receive pay or retirement credit for future federally funded drills. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin made the COVID-19 vaccination mandatory for all service members in August 2021 and told the secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to issue guidance and timelines. The mandate included both active-duty troops and part-time reservists.(Snip)Troops who continue to refuse the order could be kicked out,
New York City is now the nation’s hotspot for monkeypox after ticking up 119 cases as of Wednesday. Health officials have reported at least 605 cases of the illness across the US, which makes NYC’s tally nearly 20% of the total. Cases in the city are up by 50% since last week, leading some to point fingers at June’s Pride month celebrations, which drew some 2 million tourists into NYC. The virus spreads via skin-to-skin contact with an infected individual, prompting some experts to call it a “sexually transmitted disease.”
San Francisco has already reported outbreaks stemming from specific Bay Area Pride events, per local media outlet SFist.

Biden’s business dealings, says top
GOP lawmaker 6 replies
The Treasury Department has been accused of stonewalling lawmakers’ requests into the business dealings of President Biden’s son Hunter Biden. Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, said Treasury officials refused to hand over suspicious activity reports or SARs unless the committee’s Democratic leaders sign off on the request. “Despite Treasury’s assertion in the press that it ‘provides SARs to Congress in a manner that enables robust oversight,’ Treasury is refusing to release SARs connected with Hunter Biden or his family and associates—including the President,” Mr. Comer wrote in a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. He said Treasury outright denied the Republicans’
Americans’ confidence in the Bible’s veracity is at an all-time low, Gallup Inc. reported Wednesday, with just 20% professing a belief that the religious book is the literal word of God. For the first time, more Americans are Scripture doubters than they are believers. Gallup noted that 29% of those surveyed said the Bible is comprised of “fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man.”
Gallup said 49% of those responding took the view that the Bible is “inspired by God” but that not all of the book is “to be taken literally.”(Snip)Lack of confidence in the Bible as God’s word, the polling firm said, could
Downtown Brooklyn—Investigators released surveillance images late Wednesday of two suspects in the gunpoint robbery of an aide to Mayor Eric Adams. The 33-year-old victim, believed to be a member of the mayor’s press team, was walking near York Street and Hudson Avenue around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when two muggers shoved him to the ground, according to police. The robbers, one of whom displayed a gun, snatched the victim’s wallet and two cellphones, then fled into the nearby Farragut Houses development, authorities said. Police have previously said that one of the crooks fled on a Citi Bike. Officials said that the victim declined medical attention.
Per the far-left Reuters, the pure evil that is the Biden Administration has “been flying or driving minors from Texas shelters to other states for abortions.” “Minors.” “Flying.” “Driving.” “For abortions.” Now that the moral and legal atrocity known as Roe v. Wade has finally been overturned, the corporate media have and will continue to look for stories that show how awful the not-killing-of-innocent-babies is. So Reuters came up with this beauty about the terrible plight of illegal aliens who will now have trouble accessing a clinic that will kill their innocent baby.(Snip)The Reuters’ cry-me-a-river headline reads: “Abortion worries heightened

The sister of a U.S. Marine who has been detained in Russia since 2018 accused President Biden of ignoring her family after he called the wife of Brittney Griner, who is also jailed in Russia. Elizabeth Whelan, the sister of Paul Whelan, called on Mr. Biden to reach out to her family to talk about bringing her brother home to the U.S.
Ms. Whelan on Thursday tweeted a press release from the White House announcing the president’s call to the wife of Ms. Griner, a basketball star who has been held in a Russian jail for four months on drug charges.(Snip)Ms. Whelan’s brother is serving 16 years
Three raging customers trashed a Manhattan eatery in a caught-on-camera outburst over the weekend that left two employees injured, police said. The wild scene took place at Bel Fries, a fry restaurant on Ludlow Street in the nightlife-centric Lower East Side, on Sunday at 4:10 a.m. and ended with the arrests of three women, according to the NYPD. Shocking video of the mayhem posted to Twitter shows the trio of suspects hurling glass bottles, a metal stool and other items at employees, leaping over the counter, throwing sauce all over the restaurant and destroying a plastic barrier. A crowd of people can be heard cheering
National Public Radio (NPR) used July 4 to broadcast a segment about “queer” sex education, which promotes masturbation, redefines sex, and denounces the “terrible lie” that sexually transmitted diseases make one “dirty.” The story is part of the left-wing media’s “Life Kit” series, which it describes as “service journalism.” This report is titled, “The importance of inclusion in sex education.”(Snip)
The NPR reporter interviewed a “sexuality educator,” who also founded and performs at a venue called “Vulgar” in Mexico City.
“One of the awesome opportunities about being a queer person is that we may not be as entrenched in some of the gender narratives and roles
City officials hid just how far underwater ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio’s NYC Ferry project went, the city comptroller says. Dubious bookkeeping girded city officials’ claims the interborough boat service—which plies city waters from the Bronx to Queens, and is priced to compete with subways and buses—cost 30% less to operate than the actual numbers showed, according to the report by Comptroller Brad Lander. The ferries cost $758 million to operate from July 2015 through December 2021—$224 million more than the $534 million in costs reported by de Blasio administration officials during that period, the auditors found.(Snip)Hornblower—the company contracted to run the ferries
Hollywood star Natalie Portman has expressed her love that Disney-Marvel’s latest Thor sequel is being received as the “gayest” Marvel movie ever made. In an interview with the actress, entertainment journalist Andrew Freund laid out his hypothesis about Thor: Love and Thunder, which opens in the U.S. on Friday. “Is it safe to say that this is the gayest movie ever made in the MCU [Marvel comic universe]?” Portman replied, “I love that reading of it. Yes! I love that.” Freund went on to elaborate his theory, citing sequences where the characters are flying on rainbows. The actress said, “That is the core of the comics.
Two foreign nationals, either on nonimmigrant visas or illegal aliens, were arrested for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at Richmond, Virginia’s, Fourth of July celebration. On Wednesday, Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith announced the arrests of 52-year-old Julio Alvardo Dubon and 38-year-old Rolman A. Balacarcel—the two foreign nationals behind an alleged plot to carry out a mass shooting on July 4th. “Their intent was to conduct a mass shooting at our Fourth of July celebration,” Smith said. According to Smith, a “hero citizen” called the Richmond Police Department on July 1 to report that he had overheard a man discussing a plan to “shoot up”

"DOCTOR" Jill is perfectly content to let Joe finish his long career falling apart on television just so she can have everyone in Washington suck up to her while she’s keeping the evil teachers’ unions in bed with the president of the United States.”
It’s important to keep reminding ourselves that we are, in fact, not crazy. After all, we’re living in a time when the seemingly pervasive mainstream media keeps insisting that what we can plainly see with our eyes and hear with our ears isn’t really happening.
Brittney Griner — the WNBA All Star held in Russia on drug charges since February — pleaded guilty in a Moscow-area court Thursday.
“I’d like to plead guilty, your honor,” Griner said, addressing the court in English. “But there was no intent. I didn’t want to break the law.” Griner — who could face up to 10 years in prison under Russian law — said she would like to give further testimony at a later date.
“I need time to prepare,” she said.
She’s not kidding around.
Lorella Palmer, a 22-year-old influencer and style blogger from London, England said she doesn’t want kids for a variety of reasons and she’s tired of people trying to change her mind or call her decision “selfish.” “Kids are just annoying, they annoy me, in every sense of the word. They have no common sense, they can’t drink, they have to go to bed early, they scream, they cry, they annoy me, Palmer told The Mirror this week.
“Every time I see a child, they’ve just got crust round their nose and round their mouth, there’s drool, they’ve got food everywhere and they’ve got sticky fingers.”
Senate Democrats want to pass a $500 billion package that would include major reforms to health care, climate change, and taxes, according to a report.
NBC News reported that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who was primarily responsible for tanking the Build Back Better Act, continues to hold talks with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on a reconciliation package that would spend $500 billion and raise $1 trillion in revenue.
The package would primarily focus on health care, energy, and taxes. One source told NBC News that the “ceiling” for climate change funding would be capped at $300 billion, making it a significant fixture of the package.
Five weeks ago, shortly after the last mass shooting occurred, I published a two-part series demonstrating the link between taking certain psychiatric medicines and developing violent psychotic behavior, which includes committing mass shootings. Although this idea is commonly viewed as a “conspiracy theory” this label is inappropriate because there is a large amount of evidence showing this does happen, and both the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the link exists. (Snip) As far as I know, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham are the only news hosts on any network who have ever been willing to air content critical of the pharmaceutical industry,
The White House is pushing back against her coach's claim that WNBA player Brittney Griner would be released now from her detainment in Russia if she were a straight man. Asked whether Griner—who is Black, gay and female—is facing a double standard, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested Tuesday that such arguments go against President Joe Biden's many efforts on behalf of minority communities. "This is a president who has put all of the things that you just laid out—the LGBTQ community, women, people of color—he has fought for those communities throughout his career, and
Brace Yourself for the Biden Housing Bust
28 replies
For many readers, the above title will conjure up memories of the 2008 housing crash caused by the proliferation of subprime mortgages and the subsequent tsunami of defaults. But a better corollary for the coming Biden bust is the Carter crash that occurred three decades earlier. During the final two years of Carter’s term, sales of existing and new homes collapsed because the Fed was forced to raise interest rates sharply to get double-digit inflation under control. This, in turn, produced double-digit mortgage rates that priced millions of potential buyers out of the market.
Kellyanne Conway said former President Donald Trump should drop his son-in-law Jared Kushner if he runs for president again in 2024.
In an interview published Wednesday with The Washington Times, Conway said Kushner was trying to 'wash his hands' of responsibility for the 2020 election loss, while earning billions through his ties to the ex-president.
'There's nobody who's profited more handsomly from Donald Trump's presidency than Jared Kushner,' Conway said.
Conway, who ran Trump's successful 2016 campaign, mocked reports that Kushner was 'done' with politics adding,
Kamala Harris on Tuesday made a ‘surprise’ visit to the scene of the Highland Park, Illinois mass shooting.

The World Health Organization on Thursday reported a 77% weekly increase in the number of lab-confirmed monkeypox cases, to more than 6,000 worldwide, and two more deaths in parts of Africa where the virus has circulated for years. Most of the cases were reported in Europe and Africa. The U.N. health agency said the mysterious outbreak continues to mainly affect men who have had sex with men, and that other population groups showed no signs of sustained transmission. WHO said it counted 6,027 laboratory-confirmed cases of monkeypox from 59 countries as of Monday — an increase of 2,614 cases since its

Perhaps so, but American politicians like the Bidens make them rank amateurs by comparison, especially seeing how they'll never stand trial for their crimes.
