I just came across this story about PEPFAR funding that Cornyn is demanding as ransom to let Kari Lake and Doug Mastriano’s ambassador nominations go forward, which informs me that PEPFAR is another Swamp sacred cow like USAID, doing anything but its stated cause. And probably very bad, not in the interests of Americans, outside the corrupt ones.

I searched CTH for prior stories, a few going back a decade, but see no flags about it as Swamp slush fund propping up dictatorships or funding more fake pandemics like Ebola. The story says it’s related to AIDS funding, and that’s another scam. So it’s probably Big pHARMa death industry related. Any readers of this thread at this late hour have any info on it?

There’s absolutely no way it is good if Cornyn is demanding ransom for it.

We received a whistleblower tip at http://VoiceAgainstCorruption.com from a now-retired Postmaster in California, who provided evidence that USPS back-postdated ballots during the 2020 election up to December 31st. These ballots looked pristine, with no prior postmarks or any evidence they had been through a mail processing facility. They were forced to retire and were threatened by postal inspectors.

They had reported the issue to the USPS Office of Inspector General, which itself identified problems.

Their investigation found that tens of thousands of ballots across multiple states were processed in ways that made it impossible to verify whether they actually met state deadlines.

🚨 BREAKING: The Michigan Court of Appeals just VACATED the convictions of two more guys in the Whitmer kidnapping case.

Paul Bellar and Pete Musico are now FREE (same as Joseph Morrison last month).

The ruling stated the Jury was WRONGLY told kidnapping automatically counts as a “violent felony” and act of terrorism. Court disagreed and said that charge doesn’t hold up under the law.

Dana Nessel is furious, calling it “linguistic gymnastics” and vowing to appeal.

Convictions against 2 more men overturned in Wolverine Watchmen plot to kidnap Whitmer

Communists are clucking that the terrible movie version of Homer’s Odyssey from British director Christopher Nolan is making money, despite the “outraged Right” trashing its casting and other ridiculous things in the movie.

However…

Given Nolan’s reputation alone, people were buying reserved tickets months in advance, before anything was known about the movie, so fanatical are his fans from his Batman/Dark Knight movies and other things, which are usually overwritten, overwrought, and over-rated.

We shall see whether the movie continues to make money long-term, or whether all those early ticket sales were a bubble which will not be sustained.

To be sure, true believers may watch it more than once, bringing in more money, but not more viewers. This seems to be the case with those Blue-Alien Avatar movies from director James Cameron, which make much money somehow (perhaps from his fans seeing them multiple times), but which few people seem to recall, and which even fewer consider to be classics of any kind.

I saw the first one with Mrs. Ausonius, who was so underwhelmed that she fell asleep within 20 minutes. I stayed awake but found the environmental preaching tedious and pretentious.

C&C News 7/21/26
(Second article)

Excerpt:

We have a rare, massive win out of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. On Friday, a three-judge panel temporarily revived the Trump Administration’s executive order requiring strict new security and transparency standards for mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. The ruling allows the U.S. Postal Service to proceed with implementing the new rules, pausing a lower court’s injunction that had blocked them. Left-wing Democracy Docket, predictably, melted down into a goo of rage. They ran a breathless article titled, “Appeals court allows USPS to move forward with Trump’s anti-mail voting order, for now.”…..

…..Why does this terrify Democrats? Because it closes two of the biggest, most obvious vectors for mail-in ballot fraud.

First, it eliminates the “last-minute manufactured ballot” problem. By requiring states to submit a list of expected mail-in voters before the ballots go out, and tying each ballot to a unique, trackable barcode, it becomes mathematically impossible for a sudden, unexplained pallet of ballots to mysteriously appear at a counting center at 3:00 a.m. If the barcode wasn’t on the pre-approved outbound list, the USPS system flags it.

And if a ballot is not in the USPS database at all— then it must have come from somewhere else.

Second, it stops any backdating of postmarks. One of the persistent concerns with mail-in voting has been the potential for corrupt postal workers to illegally backdate postmarks on ballots received after Election Day, allowing late ballots to be counted anyway.

The Intelligent Mail Barcode tracks the ballot’s physical progress all the way through the postal system in real-time. A manual, backdated ink stamp means nothing if the digital barcode scan shows the ballot didn’t enter the postal stream until two days after the election.

Trump anger at Ed Miliband’s appointment as foreign secretary.

Andy Burnham has been warned that the US president ‘will not forget’ Ed Miliband’s fierce criticism of him in the past and that he has some ‘serious diplomatic repair to undertake’ in his new role.

Even if he was considered, think Starmer didn’t want it. To go from PM to Foreign Sec and work under the guy who replaced you is probably too much for Starmer to stomach.

Not just “the guy who replaced you” but “the guy who actively took steps to sabotage and undermine your political career to force you out and replace you.”

Whether or not Keir Starmer needed to resign eventually, Burnham has been working against Starmer for months (most notably, embarrassing him over the Gorton and Denton by-election).

The guy who actively took steps to sabotage and undermine’ Keir’s political career was Starmer himself. Man’s entire premiership was a series of unforced errors and u-turns.

Foreign secretary is also very much a position where you want someone who appears strong in front of other world leaders. Dealing with someone as the guy who literally just got demoted isn’t good for your positioning
