The circumstances surrounding Jeanine John Taele, 38, canvassing Trump National Golf Club ahead of President Trump’s visit certainly indicate Taele was planning a 4th assassination attempt on the life of President Trump.

Taele was arrested at Trump National Golf Club in CA with fake credentials, a fake badge and claims of being a State Dept security agent, while taking pictures and filming the venue. Taele carried armor piercing and hollow point bullets with a loaded handgun in his vehicle. [LA Sheriff’s Office]

When agents searched his home, they found an illegally modified AR style rifle with barrel shortened, body armor, high-capacity magazines, unlawful ammunition and “multiple notebooks containing concerning statements.” “He’s now facing 4 state charges and a federal charge.”

Taele was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm (25400(a)(1) PC) and Possession of Armor-Piercing/Prohibited Ammunition (31310 PC).

Recognizing the potential security implications surrounding the incident, detectives from the Sheriff’s Department Major Crimes Bureau assigned to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) obtained and executed a search warrant yesterday, August 3rd, for Taele’s residence in the city of Downey.

During the search, investigators recovered:

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

An interesting story, that’s not too easy to find out about, indicates New Jersey has quietly taken down their state voter system for unknown reasons.

According to NJ 101.5 the various county election offices were caught off guard with a notice that simply said, “Please be advised that the NJ SVRS Production environment will be inaccessible through Tuesday,” KNOWiNK said.

“Please keep this in mind for scheduling purposes. You will be notified when the system becomes available. If there are changes to the timeline, a new update will be distributed.”

Last month the governor admitted 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote in a single year from 2023 to 2024 {citation}.  No one is quite sure how many illegal aliens are registered in total, but the number is likely much higher. Perhaps the reason for taking down the system is related to this issue.

In a completely separate datapoint, the New Jersey Globe reported that 75,000 illegal aliens were summoned for jury duty.

About 75,000 noncitizens are summoned for jury duty in New Jersey each year, based on data from three state government agencies, including the Motor Vehicle Commission — a stunning figure that widens the scope of a growing controversy over government databases that may incorrectly identify noncitizens as eligible voters and jurors. {citation}

The 75,000 illegal aliens summoned were from a total of around 1 million sent jury duty notifications.  There are currently 6.6 million registered voters in New Jersey.  If the calculation is applied that means up to 495,000 registered voters are noncitizens or illegal aliens.

The DOJ Fraud Division, U.S. Attorney’s Office, and Pennsylvania Attorney General today announced criminal charges against 19 defendants, including owners and employees of home care companies, for their alleged participation in various fraud schemes involving over four million dollars in claims to Medicare and Medicaid.

The Pennsylvania Attorney General also announced a plea agreement involving the final defendant in a previously-charged 21 defendant case involving over $1.7 million in claims.

Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald of the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, U.S. Attorney David Metcalf for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and senior federal and state officials hold a press conference announcing a significant health care fraud takedown and a new Anti-Fraud Initiative in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

To emphasize the scope of the fraud in California and New York Dr Oz notes, “the number one job in the entire state is personal care services.” (WATCH – prompted):

DOJ Press Release – […] The defendants’ conduct was characterized by extraordinary greed. In one case, the Pennsylvania Attorney General charged a purported home health aide who claimed to have provided services to up to seven Medicaid recipients at once. On over 1,100 occasions, the defendant allegedly claimed to have provided care for more than 24 hours in a single day, totaling over 64,000 hours that could not have been worked.

Senator John Curtis says, “Utah employers tell me time and again how difficult it’s become to find enough workers to meet growing demands.”  Where, “Utah employers” is more accurately described as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

As a consequence, Senator Curtis (Utah) and Senator Mark Kelly (AZ) are proposing that individual states should have the right to issue H1B visas and import foreign workers without the federal immigration program in control.  As the narrative is sold, there are no Utah Americans to fill the jobs available.  That’s their story and they’re sticking to it.

[X Source – Story Link]

On the bad news side, there is no issue that shows the disconnect between the American public and federal politicians at a greater disparity than the issue(s) surrounding immigration and the various work visa programs.  On the good news side, if you look at the comments toward ideas represented by Curtis you see about a 9/1 ratio against them.

Unfortunately, the DC politicians will not listen to the 90% against them, because they have unlimited power and affluence as delivered by multinational corporations and lobbyists like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (US CoC); the modern inverted Fascism.

Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn finally dropped their opposition to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche advancing the nomination with a judiciary committee vote 12-10 along party lines.

Senator Chuck Grassley navigated a pathway out of the committee with an agreement by AAG Blanche that an IRS lawsuit settlement agreement between the DOJ and Trump attorneys would not create a J6 victim’s compensation fund.

The $1.8 billion settlement between the IRS and lawyers representing President Trump for leaking the candidates’ personal tax returns still remains at the heart of the matter. What Donald Trump and the Trump Organization plan to do with the settlement is unknown, hence the political consternation about the settlement remains in place.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said ahead of the vote that Cornyn and Tillis’ concerns about the fund “and the IRS settlement were shared by many, including this senator.” He added that the changes Blanche made “put this issue to bed once and for all.”
