The Democrats are openly thwarting the will of the American people. They do not believe in our system of government. They believe that their woke, liberal agenda should prevail no matter who is elected. It’s a miracle that even a watered down conservative bill made it through Congress since Republicans routinely cave in the face of false media and transparent scare tactics. Without Trump none of this would and once he’s out of office none of it will.

FTA - "Ro Tucci, the former director of the USAID Center for Democracy, Human Rights and Governance who co-leads DemocracyAID, teaches workshops on what she calls "Authoritarianism 101" and the ways to resist it, starting with small community organization and ideally ending in a massive strike." After doing some brief research, this chick looks to be quite young and operates with "the world owes me" schtick. Tucci is one of several fired USAID ring leaders currently stirring the pot to undermine the President. She might want to think twice about her subversion.

Instead of clutching our pearls over Epstein, we should be ruthlessly ferreting out those bad actors still in agencies as well as paying courtesy visits to those no longer in an agency, and advising them that their clearances are no longer in place and reminding them that they're still bound to their oath of secrecy (and then indict a couple of them to send a shot across their collective bows).

Treason. Insurrection. Dept of Justice, Mr Patel, Mr Bongino, (and, yes, you too, Miss Bondi) MUST prosecute this group to the utmost. The investigation is done, (see article) round them up NOW, jail them NOW. (DC gulag has openings...) Treason must never be taken lightly, our country depends on her law enforcement to enforce her laws, and to be especially vigorous in the enforcement of the laws regarding Treason. To restore any trust the public has (had) in federal law enforcement, these crimes MUST be answered for. No hearings needed, Jim. Arrests, trials, executions. Think Rosenberg, then think again, for this situation is worse than selling state secrets. This is selling our country and ridding the world of it. They have made their intentions clear, and very publicly. Please believe them. For the sake and future of the United States of America

Tennessee Rep. Mark Green announced that he has resigned from Congress to take a mysterious new job — narrowing Republicans’ already ultra-slim majority by one seat ahead of messy fights such as the looming government shutdown battle in the fall. The retired US Army officer had revealed his intention to step down last month after passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but had refrained from giving an exact date. On Friday, he tendered his resignation, which is effective July 20, per his letter to GOP leadership.

A six-year-old girl has allegedly been forced to marry a 45-year-old man in Afghanistan after she was given away for money. The haunting photo of an older man and a little girl standing together horrified even the Taliban, who intervened with the union. The youngster had allegedly been exchanged by her father for money to a man who already has two wives, it was reported by Amu.tv.[snip] In the same year as the Taliban came to power, after the US' heavily criticised exit, a nine-year-old girl who was sold by her father to a 55-year-old man as a child bride was rescued by a charity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent comments about evidence the Justice Department is reviewing from its Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation has fueled anticipation about the expected release of more files related to the wealthy financier. But weeks after Bondi’s claim about “tens of thousands” of Epstein videos in the government’s possession, it remains unclear what she was referring to.

None of us ever would have heard of Jeffrey Epstein had the government not brought him up. It was the government that brought charges against him. The government told us that he was “the most prolific child sex trafficker in history.” The government said he was “with intelligence.” The government cut him a sweetheart deal. The government was taken to court by “John Doe” over what the government called “client lists.” The government courts made a ruling about the “client lists” not being released. Senator Dick Durbin blocked the release of the “client list” in the legislative branch of the government. The government said it had “client lists” on its desk.

Republicans only need a majority vote for the legislation to pass.

Six months after the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled $101 million in funding Tuesday for “multifamily low-income housing development” that will “contribute to a more equitable and resilient Los Angeles." The priority is for “geographic proximity to the fire perimeters of the Eaton, Hughes, and Palisades fires.” Earlier this year, The Center Square broke news that California state law and a local Los Angeles ordinance require fire-destroyed rent-protected housing — which includes all apartments in the city built before October 1978 — be replaced with low-income housing. Because the affordability requirements use county-level income data

Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.The acknowledgment that the well-connected Epstein did not have a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked represents a public walk-back of a theory that the Trump administration had helped promote, with Bondi suggesting in a Fox News interview earlier this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review.

Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft and "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart bashed Paramount Global and CBS’ eight-figure settlement with President Donald Trump as giving into a "shakedown" on Monday. Kroft appeared on Paramount-owned Comedy Central to discuss the settlement with Stewart, who didn’t pull punches when discussing his own employer. Kroft, who retired from the show in 2019 after a 30-year run, said his former colleagues are devastated that CBS and its parent company settled Trump’s "election interference" lawsuit. "I think there is a lot of fear over there… fear of losing their job, fear of what’s happening to the country, fear of losing the First Amendment," Kroft said.

It’s no secret that Joe Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the United States Supreme Court because she is a black woman.* In other words, she was not chosen for her judicial acumen, but for her political identity. That goes a long way to explaining the absolutely lunatic dissent she issued to a Supreme Court order. That order stayed a California district court judge’s ruling blocking President Trump from ordering agency heads to produce plans for possible “Reductions in Force.”
