Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) confirmed Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” what his January 6 Committee colleague Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said days earlier.
According to the California Democrat lawmaker, witnesses continued “to come forward” to share information with the committee. Therefore, the committee could add more hearings.
Maddow said, “What should we understand in terms of how close to the end you are? We keep hearing from you and other members of the committee that there’s still more to find out, there’s still more to get to the bottom of, that the investigation has turned up a lot of stuff, actually, in recent days
Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine said transgender youths need to be empowered to get “gender affirmation treatment” on MSNBC Monday.
Levine, who is transgender, said transgender youths are threatened by mental health issues, bullying and political attacks, and that treatment of these youths should affirm their perceived gender identity and empower them to get sex change treatments.

Florida first lady Casey DeSantis hit back Monday at Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom after the governor claimed he launched his ad blitz in the state over the Special Olympics.
Newsom said Friday he ran the the campaign attack against Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis after DeSantis told the Special Olympics it would be fined for violating state law over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
“He did something that tipped me very directly, and that was going after the Special Olympics,” Newsom said, according to The Sacramento Bee. “I had an emotional response to that.
Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) is getting roasted on social media after management announced that it is creating a permanent disinformation reporting team that had been operating on a temporary basis.
NPR, a network consumed with identity politics, famously or infamously suppressed the Hunter Biden ‘laptop from hell’ story, because it was a waste of time and a “pure distraction.”
Although this statement does not seem to appear on the main NPR website, Nevada Public Radio posted a staff note purportedly from Terence Samuel, VP and Executive Editor, and Nancy Barnes, SVP of News and Editorial Director, in which the duo claimed that disinformation “has emerged as one of
The role of the White House Press Secretary is supposed to be to convey the position of the Biden Administration. But it’s one heck of a tough job because it also involves cleaning up after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who so frequently make a mess of things. It doesn’t help when the person who is the press secretary keeps stepping in it herself.
Here’s Karine Jean-Pierre agreeing, at least in part, that what Kamala Harris said — comparing the Supreme Court opinion returning the decision on abortion to the states to slavery — was right. So not only did Kamala say a monumentally stupid
President Joe Biden is currently on pace to bring about 2.1 million illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border by the end of the year.
Steve Kopits with the Princeton Policy Advisors projects that in fiscal year 2022, Biden will entice about 2.1 million illegal aliens to the southern border — an annual record for illegal immigration that surpasses Biden’s record-setting levels for 2021.
“Overall, the situation at the border is largely unchanged. The Open Borders policy remains in place,” Kopits wrote in an analysis. (Graph) The projection comes as Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that nearly 192,000 border crossers were apprehended in June.
Federal prosecutors said Monday they have declined to bring charges against nine people associated with CBS’ “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” who were arrested in a building in the U.S. Capitol complex last month. The decision, made by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, comes after prosecutors determined they “cannot move forward” with the misdemeanor charges against the nine people arrested June 16 in the Longworth House Office Building. The incident followed the third public hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
Donald Trump's infamous former adviser Steve Bannon laid into the House January 6 committee on Monday upon conclusion of the first day of his criminal trial for contempt of Congress.
Bannon was indicted by a grand jury late last year for failing to comply with the January 6 committee's subpoena as it investigates why and how a pro-Trump mob was able to breach the US Capitol last year as Joe Biden's 2020 victory was being certified.

When Nick Bostic saw flames inside an Indiana home in the middle of the night, he pulled over and ran inside to help. Bostic is now being hailed as a hero for saving the lives of five people.
Bostic, a local pizza delivery driver, said he drove past the house and saw flames around 12:30 a.m. He didn’t know who owned or lived in the home but sprang into action.
Bostic went around to the back of the two-story home and opened the back door.
"Before I was halfway into the door, I started hollering if there was anybody in there," he told "America’s Newsroom" Monday.
Governor Greg Abbott's office claims that Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is only seeing a 'fraction of the disaster' at the southern border after she complained that her city's homeless shelters are filling up with migrants bused from Texas and Arizona.

GoFundMe is allowing a small fortune to be collected for kin of the Minneapolis gunman fatally shot by cops after he fired at neighbors, while hard-working Manhattan bodega clerk Jose Alba’s fund got the ax, critics rage.
The fund-raiser for the family of dead Minnesota shooter Andrew “Tekle’’ Sundberg, 20, surpassed its goal of $20,000 within three days, hitting $20,500 by Monday afternoon. Yet the GoFundMe page for Alba — who killed an ex-con attacker in apparent self-defense at the store — got pulled a day after his case came to light.

During Monday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had a particularly embarrassing flub about Justice Clarence Thomas. While criticizing his concurring opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson, which is just that, a concurrence, she referred to him as Judge Thompson.
Her comments came when taking a question from the Wall Street Journal's Ken Thomas, as Jean-Pierre spoke to "as we know, from, um, the Dobbs decision, uh, one of the things that we, uh, saw from uh, from Judge Thompson is they're looking to go further, whether it's privacy, contraception, or, uh, marriage equality."
Pennsylvania banned the use of private dollars to run elections last week after Governor Tom Wolf (D-PA) signed legislation from the Republican-led legislature.

A federal judge has blocked the Biden administration’s recent rules giving gays and transgender people extended rights in schools and the workplace because Biden’s regulators bypassed a critical requirement of federal law that must be satisfied before issuing such a regulation: giving the public notice of the regulation, time to file comments, and forcing the agency to respond to those comments.
U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley Jr. agreed with 20 state attorneys general that the regulations may infringe on states’ rights
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it seemed like everyone knew a co-worker fleeing the Bay Area. Now, a new report out of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago shows just how much the exodus is gaining steam. Only Illinois ranked worse off than the Golden State when it came to moving vans heading for the border during the pandemic, according to the report, which focused on data from the moving company United Van Lines. In 2018-19, 56% of moves in California were families fleeing the state. In 2020-21, that figure jumped to nearly 60%. The state that was by far the

The Speaker has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,” Pelosi’s spokesman, Drew Hammill, told news outlets on Monday.
The nine members of The Late Show staff arrested for 'unlawfully' entering the Capitol last month will not be prosecuted, the Department of Justice has ruled. The Capitol Police released a statement Monday night in an update on the incident involving members associated with Stephen Colbert's talk show on June 16. The U.S. Attorney's office then confirmed they would not be moving forward with the case because they 'wouldn't have been able to secure convictions', according to a statement obtained by Axios.
Hillary and Chelsea Clinton are now officially documentary filmmakers.

Joe Biden has been slammed for Britain-bashing as he made unsensitive remarks about Britain’s relationship with Ireland.
As the president wrapped up a two-day visit to Israel during his tour of the Middle East, Biden announced a $100 million aid package to Palestine to help fund a new hospital.
During his speech to the Palestinian people, Biden showed his anti-British stance by comparing the conflict between Israel and Palestine to Britain’s relationship with the Irish:

The ongoing shortage of baby formula across the United States has become more acute in recent weeks, despite the Biden administration flying in millions of bottles worth of formula from across the world over the past two months. According to the market research firm IRI, 28.3% of powdered baby formula products were out of stock at US stores for the week ending July 10—a higher percentage than the 23.7% reported out of stock for the week ending May 22, when the shortage dominated headlines.(Snip)By contrast, the normal out-of-stock range prior to the COVID-19 pandemic hovered between 5% and 7%.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday compared abortion bans to slavery in that they both are “claiming ownership over human bodies.”
“It’s important to note that to support a woman’s ability, not her government, but her to make that decision does not require anyone to abandon their faith or their beliefs,” Harris said in a speech to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
“It just requires us to agree the government shouldn’t be making that decision for her,” she added. “And think about it, for the first time in generations, the United States Supreme Court, the highest court of our land, the former court of Thurgood Marshall,
Police say the "Good Samaritan" who ended a mass shooting at an Indiana mall by killing the gunman saved lives, noting that it only took two minutes from the time the suspect opened fire until when he was shot. "Many more people would have died last night if not for the responsible armed citizen," Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said during a press conference Monday.
The Good Samaritan, who was identified as Elisjsha Dicken, engaged the gunman within two minutes of the start of the shooting Sunday at Greenwood Park Mall. Police said Dicken approached the gunman from a distance and fired 10 rounds
Two officials at one of the largest hospital systems in Los Angeles and Southern California dismissed government officials’ statements about another wave of COVID-19 hitting the region and the United States as “media hype.”
Los Angeles County health director Barbara Ferrer last week said that her county is now seeing a “high” level of COVID-19 transmission, suggesting that indoor mask mandates might be reimposed.
But in a recent news conference on July 13, Brad Spellberg, the chief medical officer of Los Angeles County and University of Southern California Medical Center, and epidemiologist Paul Holtom, said that there have been no changes in the transmission levels of COVID-19.

Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.

The good Samaritan who shot and killed the gunman who opened fire in the Greenwood Park Mall in Indiana on Sunday afternoon reportedly broke the property's policy against weapons. The suspected shooter entered the mall on Sunday carrying a rifle and multiple magazines and opened fire in the food court, killing at least three and injuring three before he was shot to death. Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison said the suspected shooter was killed by a "good Samaritan with a handgun."
While the armed bystander reportedly had a legal gun permit, the mall's property policy does not permit weapons on the premises.

f I had to hazard a guess about what this was, I’d say it is most likely: (a) part of the massive Ukrainian stores of mortars and landmines in eastern Ukraine that were moved in order to keep the Russians from capturing them; or (b) the actual arms that were captured by Russian and then sold on the world arms market. Either way, somehow, they end up as part of an arms deal from Serbia to Bangladesh.
With the new and improved western weapons provided by the United States, Ukraine is likely upgrading and selling their old weapons to various nefarious arms dealers.

It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to describe just how bad President Joe Biden is at his job. Comparisons to Jimmy Carter are pervasive, but trite -- and too flattering to Carter.

Viola Davis plays General Nanisca, leader of an all-female band of warriors known as the Dahomey Amazons, as she struggles against European attempts to conquer the kingdom.
Wow! It’s got everything! Strong, black women and evil, white Europeans. It’s a leftist dream!
Except for the horrific reality of how the kingdom of Dahomey treated
An account was published Sunday in the San Marcos Record of a massive late June raid on a couple in rural Hays County, Texas that resulted in no arrest. The scale of forces deployed and the tactics used seem designed to intimidate and punish, especially considering the fact that the couple never entered the US Capitol on June 6, and were guilty only of being Trump supporters who were peacefully demonstrating.
Lora DeWolfe and Darrel Kennemer were startled when FBI agents, during the pre-dawn hours on June 22, broke through their gate leading up to their home which sits on seven acres in rural Hays County.

Sen. Bernie Sanders accused Sen. Joe Manchin of “intentionally sabotaging” President Biden’s agenda after the West Virginia Democrat pulled his support from legislation that included initiatives to battle climate change and raise taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals.
“He has sabotaged the president’s agenda,” Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week.”
“If you check the record, six months ago, I made it clear that you have people like Manchin, Sinema to a lesser degree, who are intentionally sabotaging the president’s agenda, what the American people, what a majority of us in the Democratic caucus want. Nothing new about this,” he told host Martha Raddatz, referring to Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
When he signed the “American Rescue Plan” into law in March 2021, President Joe Biden bragged about how it would put “$1,400 checks into the pockets of millions of Americans; help to keep folks in their homes; help to put food on the table.” A family of four was in line to get $5,600, he said.
What he didn’t tell the public was that the rampant inflation his “rescue” plan would unleash would cost Americans more than the $1,400 Biden was handing out. Much more.
Biden’s $2 trillion “rescue” came after the Trump administration had already rushed through two massive
Squad member and Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo), who is constantly pulling the race card every chance she gets, asserted that she hates white people and that the U.S. is under attack by them.
In a tweet, the left-wing lawmaker said there is a growing “white supremacist movement” in not only her state of Missouri, but throughout the whole nation.
“We’re facing threats from a growing far-right, white supremacist movement across Missouri and the country,” Bush tweet, adding “But I’ve seen the power we hold when we come together. We’ve proven it & we’ll never back down. There’s so much at stake. Let’s continue this work. Together.”
One of the things that most bothers me about the “Never Trumpers” is their obsession with the man. I get that they don’t like him – fine, don’t have him over for dinner – but they seemingly wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat screaming his name. Everything, in their minds, is about him and they can’t stand it or shut up about it; it’s beyond their control. The same is true, though in a different way, of the radical left. They have this uncontrollable compulsion to be as far-left as a drum circle in San Francisco, even when it damages their cause.

Why would the seated administration sue a state over a constitutionally verifiable action it takes—especially when 80% or more of its own supporters are in favor of that action? Specifically why would *President Joe Biden choose to sue the state of Arizona over a state statute, handling the state’s business?
You may say, “it’s none of the Federal Government’s business what that state decides internally within its borders.” And you would be right.
The Biden DOJ did that just a bit more than a week ago.
The state of Arizona, in conjunction with the will of its people, passed a law that requires proof of citizenship
It’s Weekend at Biden’s now that Dementia Joe is back in the USA after what will likely be one of his last visits to anywhere other than his second assisted-living facility on the Delaware Shore. (Photo) Brandon’s junket this week to the Mideast was so catastrophic that even state-run media could no longer ignore his senile babbling. After stumbling off Air Force One, he vowed to “keep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaust.” He meant to say, “horror.” Just as he was supposed to read “hallowed” when he slurred out “hollowed ground.” But there was so much more, and as usual, all dialogue guaranteed verbatim.CORRECTION*
Ivanka: Mom a role model..
Not easy to lose a mother. I know. I lost mine.
One treasure this glamorous gorgeous blond lady Ivana left us is her gorgeous blond daughter.
Ivanka: “She was my role model. No matter how busy, she was always there for us. Always there to comfort us. She knew what it meant to demonstrate ownership. My mother was a role model for all of us in the business world. No matter where you go or who you meet, you must recognize there were not too many like her in anyone’s life.”
So how would this daughter actually describe her mom?
On Friday TGP presented two videos depicting the unexplainable results of the 2020 Election. They were super hits.
Voter integrity investigator and data specialist Jeff O’Donnell prepared two videos that depicted the election reporting in two counties in Pennsylvania. The videos showed the election reporting coming from the Edison reports that were provided to the media on election night and the days afterward. The counties results that were depicted were Philidelphia County and Chester County.
Have you ever writhed in a racist dance — have you engaged in the bigotry known as ballet? If the activity isn’t fully nefarious, it’s at least a sinister sign of whiteness.
That, per a high-class conservatory.
The Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD) — a self-identified “progressive institution” — has decided to banish ballet.
From The Telegraph:
NSCD…has reviewed the “elitist” art form as part of a diversity drive that has seen the introduction of new policies relating to gender and race.
According to “Head of Undergraduate” Francesca McCarthy, ballet boasts a “contentious nature;” it’s saddled with the wickedness of “white European ideas.”
Hence, from NSCD’s entrance auditions, ballet has been booted.

During her weekly press conference last Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refused to even say former President Donald Trump's name when asked by a reporter about his potential 2024 run. (Tweet/Video) "Trump has indicated that he plans to announce a 2024 run in the next month or so. What impact would that have on the midterms, and would it benefit Democrats, in your opinion," the reporter asked.
Pelosi didn't provide much of an answer about Trump running again, which is looking increasingly likely.

Given the left’s hellbent drive to label virtually everything in — and about —America as “racist,” this nutjob story should come as no surprise to anyone. Lemme rephrase that: This nutjob story comes as zero surprise to anyone who hasn’t had their head in the (white) sand since the reign of Barack Obama.
Even “better,” today’s left-wing radicals make Obama look like a piker in the race-hustling industry.
Case in point, my fellow Americans: some of the names we give our dogs are racist. Who knew?
Appearing on Fox News to discuss the Biden and Pelosi regime with FNC’s Brian Kilmeade, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, a big Trump supporter, thrashed Nancy Pelosi and Biden for the regime they are running, even going so far as to rip into Nancy Pelosi and say that she’s “running a dictatorship.”
Watch that here:(Video) As you can hear in the video, that scathing comment about Nancy Pelosi came when Brian Kilmeade asked Gingrich about the overt partisanship and separation on the floor of the House, saying:
“You talk about being asked to go down to the House floor. And to mingle. But you went down there. First time since
Washington, D.C.'s homeless shelters are filling up because Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending busloads of migrants from his state to the nation's capital, Mayor Muriel Bowser claimed Sunday morning.
The D.C. mayor is requesting that Abbott stop preventing migrants from getting to their final destinations.
Arizona's Governor Doug Ducey followed Abbott's lead earlier this summer as they both started sending migrants from their respective states to D.C. to take some of the load off of the migration crisis hitting border states.
Due to this initiative, homeless shelters in the nation's capital are starting to cap out with these asylum-seekers.
A little dog may have saved his owner’s life after making a shocking discovery while digging in the backyard.
Vincent Webb’s little dog, Arthur, did what most dogs do and started digging in the backyard near the garden outside after relieving himself on Thursday in North Charleston, South Carolina, WCBD reported.
Webb noticed that his dog had uncovered something very dangerous – an unexploded ordnance.
“I went over and looked at it, found out it was a World War 1 artillery shell,” Webb told WCBD.
The owner called 911, and the North Charleston Police Department, Charleston County Sheriff’s Office bomb squad, and the U.S. Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) rushed to his house.

Texas and Arizona have been among the states inundated by the flood of illegal aliens entering through our southern border. Yet, the Biden Administration doesn’t seem to give a darn about how that is affecting and harming the states involved. Their resources have been overwhelmed.
So, the two states had a great idea. Let’s ship the people who entered illegally and who are awaiting their asylum claims to Washington, D.C., so that the people in Washington finally get how we are being overwhelmed. They’ve been shipping hundreds of people in dozens of separate bus trips since April. [Video]
Dr. Deborah Birx, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator for President Trump, launched her book about her one-person attack on our form of government and our economy under the guise of saving us from the Wuhan virus. Though it has been out for a couple of months, it is only now attracting the attention it deserves. The book is called Silent Invasion and, to quote Michael Senger, “reads like a how-to guide in subverting a democratic superpower from within, as could only be told through the personal account of someone who was on the front lines doing just that.”
