Education Overdue

The Trump administration has been pursuing, on two fronts, the critical objective of fixing America's broken education system. One, an executive order by President Donald Trump, issued shortly after he assumed office, is to dismantle the Department of Education. Outright closing of the department is only possible by an act of Congress. However, the president is moving to accomplish the same objective administratively by closing down offices and major staff elimination. The Supreme Court recently upheld the president's authority to do this.

The Standard Chartered Bank sanctions evasion case, now in court in the US Second Circuit, found at least $9.6 billion of illegal payments by the bank to Iranian and Hezbollah entities.
The case implicates NYAG Letitia James and the Federal Reserve for ignoring billions of these illicit payments and ignoring Treasury sanctions designations. Maximum Pressure is not being enforced because of the failures of the Fed and the NYAG.
At least $9.6 billion of specifically identified illicit payments were made by SCB from its NYC branch to OFAC and known terrorist names.
A review of the facts and procedures in the Trump-Russia investigation reveals the CIA and FBI were being led by reckless partisans. The Justice Department recently acknowledged that it is conducting a criminal investigation of both former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey. The current CIA director, John Ratcliffe, made a criminal referral to the DOJ concerning Brennan. Many believe that referral involves perjury on Brennan’s part when testifying before Congress or during Special Counsel John Durham’s inquiry.
Israel is facing intensifying international condemnation for its killing of starving Palestinian civilians in Gaza, and its attacks on humanitarian efforts, as the UN secretary general, António Guterres, said the “last lifelines keeping people alive [in the strip] are collapsing”.
An angry chorus of senior figures, among them the UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, and a senior Catholic cleric, expressed on Tuesday a growing sense of global horror over Israel’s actions. I spoke again with [the Israeli foreign minister] Gideon Saar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF [Israel Defense Forces] must stop killing people at distribution points,”
Go away, Tulsi

The response to Tulsi Gabbard’s weekend airstrike against the deep state’s attempt to walk away from RussiaGate has started to take shape. Leading in this effort is Andrew C. McCarthy, the last figure of any substance at the once august but now decrepit (and diehard NeverTrump) National Review. In “RussiaGate Re-revisited: Gabbard Urges DOJ to Prosecute Obama Official,” McCarthy argues that:
All the material that Gabbard released was already well-known (thanks in large part to one Andrew C. McCarthy).
That there was too Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Therefore, RussiaGate was for real and Obama and goons get a free pass.
On Monday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said that many of the agency’s worksite enforcement actions have been going to locations with potential human trafficking, child exploitation or other crimes and “We want to go ahead and exploit those American businesses that are illegally taking credit off the men and women that they have working for them. We are going after the businesses as well.” Lyons said, “We hear all the time, from the left and the right, hey, we’ll support you if you have a criminal warrant, search warrant signed by a judge.
"What I can assure the American people is that this investigation [into Hillary Clinton's homebrew server] was done competently, honestly, and independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear." — FBI Director James Comey, July 2016. We now have proof that what Comey told the American people in the lead-up to the 2016 election was categorically false. The Senate Judiciary Committee released a bombshell report today, revealing that Comey's FBI "failed to fully investigate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and mishandling of highly classified information during her time as Secretary of State."
If anyone's shocked at that revelation,
As we reported, Hunter Biden did a curse-filled interview with YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan. The interview was released on Monday and had some wild moments. He did that typical Democrat thing where he tried to argue how important it was to have "immigrants" to do our work for us. He also had an anger-filled rant about deportations.
But he wasn't done yet. That was just a warm-up to how he ripped into the Democrats and how he thought they had mistreated his father. First, he went after George Clooney, whose remarks about Joe Biden after the debate helped to undo him. "F**k him and everyone around him,"
Here is what a treasury secretary is supposed to do: work to demystify what is being done with Americans' money, answer why Wall Street and the Fed do what they do, and why it should matter to us. If anything remains a financial mystery, it's what happens at the Federal Reserve. Does Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and his over 2,300 staffers use spreadsheets, market trends, an abacus, or tea leaves to set rates? Because from the financial novice or illiterate (raising my hand), their decisions come off as arbitrary, political, or both. As opposed to the former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen,
Attorney General Pam Bondi is stepping up his purge of corrupt officials working at the Department of Justice (DOJ).
According to a report from The Hill, Bondi and President Trump are “culling the ranks of career officials” who have links or loyalties to the Democratic establishment that led the persecution of conservatives during the Biden administration.
The report states:
Maurene Comey, a New York-based federal prosecutor and the daughter of the former FBI director, was fired Wednesday without explanation.

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.
Monday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Hunter Biden revealing his father, President Joe Biden, was on Ambien was “really striking.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “Hunter made headlines of his own in a more than three-hour-long interview on a podcast, touching on a number of issues, including the 2024 campaign. He vehemently defended his father while revealing a new detail about the debate.”
Hunter Biden said, “I know exactly what happened at that debate. He flew around the world basically and the mileage, he could have flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as *. They give him Ambien
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
A Department of Justice employee claims she was fired after feds discovered her husband had developed an anti-ICE phone app. Carolyn Feinstein, who is married to ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron, said she was unfairly removed from her post in 'retribution' against her partner's work. The ICEBlock app sets out warning signals to users when ICE agents are within a five-mile radius of their location, allowing targets to flee. After Aaron was exposed online for creating the app, Feinstein said she was terminated from her post as a forensic accountant after almost a decade working for the DoJ. 'This was retribution.

On July 13, 2024, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, before witnesses and unimpeded by law enforcement, climbed onto the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building at the Butler Farm Show. He was 441 feet away from the stage on which candidate Donald Trump was addressing 15,000 enthusiastic supporters. . . .These parallel reports set forth a detailed narrative of official mismanagement, disorder, incompetence, and inexplicable failures that converged to afford Crooks the clear and readily preventable opportunity to murder Trump.

'We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount,' Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell Obama administration claims 16 replies
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard suggested last week that intelligence was "manufactured and politicized" by the most powerful people in the Obama administration in 2016 and Americans will finally learn the truth, but legacy media outlets didn’t take the announcement particularly seriously. (Snip) MSNBC, meanwhile, spent more time downplaying Gabbard's report and similarly suggested Republicans are using it to distract from unflattering news. "The latest distraction comes from the national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, who put out a baseless report Friday accusing the Obama administration of manufacturing intelligence that laid the groundwork for the FBI’s Russia probe into Trump," MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin said.
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Prince of Darkness and one of heavy metal’s most iconic stars, has died. He was 76.
He died “surrounded by love,” his family said in a statement to The Sun on Tuesday. “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”
News of Osbourne’s death comes more than five years after he announced his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in January 2020.
The Democratic Party’s attempt to “resist” President Donald Trump is backfiring, the latest I&I/TIPP poll shows. A plurality of American adults now believe the one-time party of the center has gone too far to the left.
Voters who responded to the online national poll of 1,421 adults, taken from June 25 to June 27, were asked the following question: “Do you think the Democratic Party has become too radical in its views and policies?”
A strong plurality of 45% of all poll respondents said yes, while 36% said no and another 18% said they weren’t sure. The poll’s margin of error is +/-2.7 percentage points.
