WASHINGTON — A federal judiciary panel — mainly made up of judges picked by Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden — voted not to extend Alina Habba as President Trump’sNew Jersey US attorney, effectively ending her three-month fight for confirmation. Habba, who had served as the Garden State’s top prosecutor since March 24, had just 120 days to serve before her interim term expired at midnight July 22. In the absence of Senate confirmation, the Garden State’s 17 federal judges could have voted to extend her tenure.

Comments:

Sounds like it's time for Pam Bondi to make her a Special Assistant US Attorney like she did with John Sarcone.

The blue slip is merely a rule of the Senate. A majority of the Senators can change the rules any time they wish. Our problem is finding enough Republican Senators to change the rule.

FTA: New Jersey’s Democratic senators — Cory Booker and Andy Kim — both already opposed Habba’s confirmation, withholding their so-called “blue slips” to block the Judiciary Committee from considering Trump’s onetime personal attorney. Sounds like Booker and Kim are afraid of a strong, independent minded woman.

WASHINGTON — Russian intelligence obtained damaging information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s health amid her 2016 presidential campaign — including evidence that she had “psycho-emotional problems” that were being treated with severe sedatives — but Vladimir Putin chose not to release it before that year’s election because he thought the Democrat would win. The astounding revelations were contained in a Sept. 18, 2020, House Intelligence Committee report that reviewed Russia’s influence on the 2016 contest and was declassified and made public Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Russia’s foreign intelligence service, the SVR, “possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from ‘intensified psycho-emotional problems,

During an interview on CBS News on Tuesday, Rep.

Netflix has announced it will not renew its $100 million deal with the insufferable Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, aka, The HarryMeg. A quick rundown of the planet healing itself… No more federally-funded corporate welfare to the tune of about a billion dollars in taxpayer money for PBS and NPR. No more left-wing affirmative action to the tune of $40 million in annual losses at CBS to keep smarmy Stephen Colbert’s Late Show on the air.

When Hamid Moghadam, CEO of San Francisco-based Prologis — the largest industrial real estate firm in the world — sounded the alarm in a recent Bloomberg interview that “construction costs are going to go up radically... all of this immigration stuff is putting more pressure on construction,” he wasn’t just talking dollars and cents. He was exposing the dirty secret about California’s construction labor market that Democrats have spent decades covering up. For too long, California Democrats have gaslit the public, claiming illegal immigration fills jobs “Americans won’t do.” The truth? Illegal immigration props up a rigged system that actively shuts out legal American workers.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released further evidence Wednesday morning, which she claims shows the Obama administration's direct involvement in the 2016 post-presidential election Russia hoax. Gabbard, describing the plot as the "most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history," posted a series of lies which have, in her view, been debunked by declassifying a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report. The report was an assessment of how the Obama administration manufactured a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which portrayed Russia as having influenced the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump. That assessment was "false," Gabbard writes,

As we now know, thousands of documents and pardons weren’t signed by then-President Joe Biden during his disastrous tenure—they were “signed” by a robotic autopen. Both the House Oversight Committee and the White House Counsel’s Office are currently investigating whether they are all legal, considering Ole Joe may not have even known that certain measures were being autographed in his name. At least one senator doesn’t believe the pardons will stand up to legal scrutiny, and he wants to kill two birds with one stone: challenge them in court, and charge former Chief Medical Advisor to the President and serial fabulist Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Matt covered this Monday. In a shocking incident, a Delta pilot had to inform passengers and apologize for an aggressive maneuver he made to avoid a potential mid-air collision with a B-52 bomber. “Sorry about the aggressive maneuver. It caught me by surprise,” the Delta pilot said, which was captured on video. “This is not normal at all. I don’t know why they didn’t give us a heads up.” [Tweet, video] Predictably, this near-miss made headlines all over the country. To recap, just months ago, a mid-air collision between a military helicopter and a commercial airliner occurred over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C, killing everyone on board.

A sweeping new bill to create a Cabinet-level Secretary of the Coast Guard has cleared committee and is ready to head for a vote on the House floor. Congress and the Department of Homeland Security want to elevate the Coast Guard to better match the stature of other military branches, especially as it takes on growing roles in stopping illegal migration and drug trafficking under the Trump administration. Representative Mike Ezell (R-MS), Representative Sam Graves (R-MO), Rick Larsen (D-WA), and Salud Carbajal (D-CA) introduced the Coast Guard Authorization Act on July 2nd, and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed the measure on July 15th.

Folks on the left are still mourning the death of alleged comedian Stephen Colbert, who was recently fired from hosting “The Late Show.” When the news about Colbert’s impending departure surfaced, leftists on the airwaves and interwebs pounced on the opportunity to slam CBS for canning him, saying it was somehow a violation of free speech. Others suggested that it was the fault of President Donald Trump. In a recent airing of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin joined the fray of frantic phonies pretending Colbert’s firing was a free speech issue. She intimated that the motivation behind the development “could be financial” or “purely political.”

Barack Obama has broken his silence on calls from Donald Trump for him to be prosecuted by unequivocally rejecting his successor’s accusations that he tried to engineer a “coup” following Trump’s 2016 election victory by “manufacturing” evidence of Russian interference. Obama’s office took the unusual step of issuing an emphatic refutation after Trump told reporters that his predecessor had “[tried] to lead a coup” against him and was guilty of “treason” over intelligence assessments suggesting that Russia had intervened to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in the campaign. “Out of respect for the office of the presidency,

Stephen Colbert wants you to believe he's some kind of martyred truth-teller, canceled by the evil corporate overlords for daring to speak truth to power about Donald Trump. He’s not. It's a compelling narrative, if you're the type who still thinks late-night comedy hosts are brave crusaders rather than overpaid establishment mouthpieces. But, rather than accept reality, he’s leaning into the preferred narrative that he’s being silenced and that it’s President Trump’s fault.

California’s new $20-per-hour minimum wage for fast food workers has resulted in a significant decline in employment in that sector, leading to 18,000 fewer jobs than would have been the case otherwise. That’s according to a new paper released by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) this month, which said: We analyze the effect of California’s $20 fast food minimum wage, which was enacted in September 2023 and went into effect in April 2024, on employment in the fast food sector. In unadjusted data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, we find that employment in California’s fast food sector declined by 2.7 percent
