Backpedaling On Taxpayer-Funded IVF Would
Be A Trump White House Win, Not An ‘L’
Posted By: earlybird, 8/4/2025 1:36:20 PM
President Donald Trump spent the last few months of his 2024 campaign promising to force taxpayers to foot the bill for a procedure that routinely destroys human life. His plans to pave the way for Americans to make “more babies” by subsidizing in vitro fertilization, however, are allegedly on hold. The Washington Post reported that as of Sunday, Trump’s White House is allegedly “backing away from proposals discussed internally to mandate IVF coverage for the roughly 50 million people on the Obamacare exchanges.”

The Israeli foreign ministry challenged the New York Times and other major mainstream media outlets to publish a photo of a starving Israeli hostage — after publishing fake images of starving Palestinian childrenAs Breitbart News reported, Hamas filmed Evyatar David, 24, being forced to dig his own grave. The video was approved for release by his family — though Hamas’s clear purpose was to create alarm and to pressure the Israeli government to accept a ceasefire on unfavorable terms.
Last weekend, many major media outlets published images falsely purporting to be of starving Palestinian children. In reality, many suffered from other maladies.
Senior Hamas political bureau member Ghazi Hamad openly credited the October 7 terrorist massacre with forcing Western nations to recognize a Palestinian state, declaring in a weekend Al Jazeera interview that “the initiative by several countries to recognize a Palestinian state is one of the fruits of October 7” while vowing that Palestinians will never surrender their weapons.
The interview, broadcast by the Qatar-based network over the weekend, featured Hamad brazenly celebrating what he characterized as the diplomatic benefits of Hamas’s brutal attack that killed over 1,200 Israelis and took hundreds hostage.

On Sunday President Trump remarked that emissary Steve Witkoff was likely to travel to Russia this week, presumably at the request of Kremlin officials. Earlier President Trump shortened the deadline for Russia to come to the negotiating table from 50 days to 10-12 days. The preferred timeline by President Trump ends this Friday.(AP) – Vladimir Putin is open to meeting Volodymyr Zelensky for talks following “preparatory work at the expert level,” the Kremlin has announced, according to the state-owned RT television station.
“I would like to remind you that the president himself does not rule out the possibility of holding such a meeting,” Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman said. “But
President Donald Trump is actually doing something almost all presidents have failed to do, reduce the size and scale of the federal government.The Washington Post is very concerned about the economic datapoints coming from the DC area. Including: “the Trump administration’s overhaul of the federal workforce, including the elimination of thousands of federal jobs, is being acutely felt in a national capital region.”
WaPo – In May, D.C.’s unemployment rate was 5.9 percent — the highest in more than three years. The number of federal workers turning to unemployment insurance is climbing steadily, with claims rising 64 percent between February and June — from 1,064 to 1,747.
The U.S. State Department is set to roll out a 12‑month “visa bond” pilot program requiring some foreign tourists and business travelers to post bond amounts of $5,000, $10,000, or up to $15,000 before even stepping foot in America, according to AP News.
The regulation is expected to take effect August 20, 2025, with final details published in the Federal Register 15 days beforehand, consistent with federal notice rules.
The policy promises a full refund, with interest, only if travelers exit the country on time and via designated ports. Otherwise, the bond is forfeited to the Treasury, ostensibly to offset illegal-immigration enforcement costs.
EXCLUSIVE: Attorney General Pam Bondi directed her staff Monday to act on the criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard related to the alleged conspiracy to tie President Donald Trump to Russia, and the Department of Justice is now opening a grand jury investigation into the matter, Fox News Digital has learned.Bondi ordered an unnamed federal prosecutor to initiate legal proceedings, and the prosecutor is expected to present department evidence to a grand jury to secure a potential indictment, according to a letter from Bondi reviewed by Fox News Digital and a source familiar with the investigation.

When confronted with July’s unexpectedly small job gain, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett questioned the job report’s accuracy and called for “a fresh set of eyes” at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Friday’s report also included a sizable downgrade in the number of jobs created in May and June from original estimates.
“The fact is that when the data are unreliable, when they keep being revised all over the place, then there are going to be people who wonder if there’s a partisan pattern in the data,” Hassett said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Hours of negotiations in the U.S. Senate over the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nominees collapsed late Saturday night, following a decision by the President to end talks after what he called an “egregious” demand from Senate Minority Leader Chuck SchumerIn a post on Truth Social, President Trump accused Schumer, D-N.Y., of attempting to extort over $1 billion in exchange for allowing a vote on a small number of nominees who had already received bipartisan committee support.
Tesla shares responsibility for an accident involving its vehicle’s Autopilot system, and must pay $243 million as compensation, a jury from the District Court, Southern District of Florida, said in an Aug. 1 verdict.

Below is my column in Fox.com on the release of the last declassified material on the origins of the Russian collusion investigation. After the release, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper wrote in the New York Times insisted that they never relied on the Steele dossier. The column only reaffirmed the level of dishonesty and duplicity that marked their tenures in office. (The Times still printed this claim despite being demonstrably untrue).
The documents quote Brennan in overruling career analysts and intervening to include the dossier in the intelligence assessment
The Contemptible Jeb Boasberg

Jeb Boasberg is not giving up.Undeterred by recent smackdowns by the Supreme Court and the D.C. appellate court, Boasberg, the Obama-appointed chief judge of the D.C. district court, is preparing to mete out some sort of punishment against the Trump administration for allegedly defying one of his court orders back in March.
During a hearing last week in the ACLU’s lawsuit related to the Alien Enemies Act, President Trump’s signature deportation policy that ordered the immediate removal of illegal Venezuelans tied to Tren de Aragua, Boasberg expressed frustration that his colleagues on the D.C. appellate court are dragging out a hold on Boasberg’s contempt findings; in April, Boasberg determined “probable cause

When former Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she would not be running for California governor, she appeared to leave the door open to another shot at the White House in 2028. However, the real Democratic contender to watch is not Harris.
Rather – implausible as it may seem to some – New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears to be the front-runner for Democrats’ 2028 presidential nomination, should she forgo a Senate campaign, which she would almost certainly win.
It’s a steel. Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren heaped praise Monday on socialist mayoral contender Zohran Mamdani’s “steely” focus on affordability — casting it as a winning path out of the political wilderness for Democrats. Warren, who appeared alongside Mamdani at the DC37 union building to support his universal childcare proposal, said he kick-started that conversation in the right place – and has Wall Street fat cats and billionaires running scared. “For me, New York City is the place to start the conversation for Democrats on how affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat, and that
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is declaring “war” on Republicans over plans in Texas proposing a new congressional map, likely resulting in five pickups for the GOP.
Hochul ranted about President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), deeming the governor a “co-conspirator” and asserting that they both are eroding democracy and “drag[ging] us toward authoritarianism.”
“Now what Texas and Republican states are doing at the direction of Donald Trump, I say, is nothing short of a legal insurrection against our capital,” she said. “Legal meaning, they’re using the legal process — [it] does not mean it’s legal, and it must be stopped.”
The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday issued subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to compel their testimony about deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) also sent a subpoena to the Department of Justice for records related to Epstein’s case, and issued subpoenas to compel testimony from several other figures, including former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales.

Former President Barack Obama will not face charges for treason, sedition or any other crime in the wake of newly disclosed intel. Whether Obama’s actions, if true, meet the elements of a crime is, of course, one thing. But this is not the primary reason Obama has little to worry about. [Snip] Why does Obama need not fear charges? The race card.
Consider the protests after the death of George Floyd. [Snip] ...Floyd’s death triggered the largest “racial injustice” protests in American history. ...estimated 10,000 protests,...5% to 7% involving violence.

Texas Dems Run to Illinois to Deny a Quorum

for Redistricting, and Now the Real Fun Begins 24 replies
As expected, Texas Democratic legislators have fled the state to deny a quorum for Gov. Greg Abbott's redistricting push. The members flew to Illinois on Sunday, which qualifies as peak irony given that the blue state is arguably the most gerrymandered in the country. This plan was reportedly hatched with Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), and the 30 odd Democrats will spend at least a week there. Given what we saw when they did this in 2021, denying a quorum for an election reform vote, there is no doubt a lot of grandstanding, dramatics, and cringe singing on the way.
After blacks in Cincinnati beat white

adults, why was there no nationwide, racial outrage? 23 replies
Recently, a large group of black youths began pummeling white adults in downtown Cincinnati.
The original altercation apparently broke out between a black and white male in he-said/he-said fashion. But that dispute soon turned into a virtual free-for-all.
Numerous male and female black youths sucker-punched a middle-aged woman. Others continued to kick or body slam the victims. There were many disturbing aspects to the beat-downs. One, the violence broke out along racial and age fault lines. After the initial dispute, groups of black youths swarmed solitary older white bystanders to pound them.
Two, the surrounding assembled group of black youths not only failed to intervene to restrain the bullies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports.
The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.
You think Kamala Harris picking her 2024 running mate was merely a strategic political move? Think again. As recently surfaced internal memos from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI reveal, the choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sent more than a few alarm bells ringing inside U.S. counterintelligence circles.
Newly released Homeland Security group chat messages, obtained after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from Judicial Watch, show outright glee from agency insiders at Washington’s potential nightmare.
Democrats are planning to spend tens of millions of dollars to spin narratives on social media as part of a $110.5 million fundraising effort, according to images of slides from a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) donor event obtained by Breitbart News.
Under a heading “Urgent Off-Year Funding Needs” on one slide, it states the DCCC looks to raise $10 million for social media and content creation, $20 million for “Accountability work,” $15 million for “Voter Registration,” $5 million for “Recruitment” and “Primary Engagement,” and $2 million for “Research” and a “Rapid Response Infrastructure.”
Watergate was a zit…while RussiaGate is CANCER.
This is a coup, insurrection and treason by Obama, Hillary and their Deep State/communist cabal- all wrapped into the biggest scandal in U.S. history.
Yet the mainstream media is once again gaslighting us at the highest levels, while whistling past the graveyard. Why? Because this is their scandal. They were in on it from the first day, as the PR wing of the Democrat Party and various communist traitors hellbent on the intentional destruction of America. We all know Obama ordered the spying on candidate Trump to help his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton win the presidency.
As soon as President Donald Trump announced that he was firing Erika McEntarfer from her job as commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the wailing and gnashing of teeth began. This was part of an “authoritarian playbook,” it was “Orwellian,” it was “preposterous.”
The correct response is, “long overdue.”
Even for government work, the BLS has been breathtakingly bad at its job, something we’ve been reporting on this space for years.
