As a nation we are in an abusive relationship with government. However, specifically Alaska is in an abusive relationship with Senator Lisa Murkowski, and their codependent enabling of her political existence is creating serious harm to the rest of the nation.
Senator Murkowski says she will not support the nomination of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to fill the full role of U.S. Attorney General.
President Trump signed several executive orders today on the topic of computer chip manufacturing, birthright citizenship and birth tourism. The media questions begin at 7:30 of the video below.
I don’t like doing this, but it needs to be done. People keep sending me this video; it is nonsense. Steve Bannon and John Solomon broadcast a conversation targeting John Thune, Tom Cotton and Todd Blanche for obstructing the release of transcripts held in the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).
What Solomon reports in this interview is disconnected from the process that exists. Solomon wants the transcripts of former CIA Director John Brennan released. Fine, no problem. Except Solomon apparently doesn’t understand the process to gain declassification of an equity that is not within the executive branch. The transcript is in the legislative branch.
There are separation of powers issues, equity issues and stakeholder issues that create a process that needs to be followed. This is the same process that was used to gain the Michael Atkinson transcript from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). Solomon and Joe diGenova can follow the process and succeed, just like I did. Or Solomon and diGenova can gnash their teeth, create outrage and fail. WATCH (prompted):
This nonsense is why trusting John Solomon is a fool’s errand, and the reason why I have suspected Solomon of performance theater for several years. His teaming up with Steve Bannon, well, it just tracks.
Tick-Tock… Nothing. I digress.
First, assuming they have security clearances, John Solomon and/or Joe diGenova can ask SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton to let them read the Brennan transcript in the SSCI secured compartmented intelligence facility (scif). There is nothing stopping them, or anyone else with a clearance, from reading the transcript; assuming Cotton would permit it (he would). That’s the first point.
President Trump gives remarks to an audience in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the administration continues promoting the success of the “no tax on tips” MAGAnomic policy. WATCH:
John Solomon, working for the administration on behalf of President Trump, has released internal FBI information that surrounded an investigation of President Trump and other officials following the firing of James Comey. {DOCUMENTS HERE}
When FBI Director James Comey was fired, the FBI triggered an extension to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. That new investigation was codenamed “Oxferd Comma.” The investigation was created by the FBI Counterintelligence Division and approved by FBI General Counsel James Baker and FBI Counterintelligence Deputy Bill Priestap.
Obviously, the FBI crew who were illegally weaponizing their offices to fabricate Crossfire Hurricane, the ridiculous Trump-Russia investigation – which was used as a justification to coverup their preexisting surveillance operation, were angered that President Trump had fired their leader, James Comey. So, the crew who controlled the FBI decided to open another counterintelligence operation using the firing as evidence that Trump was colluding with Russia.
This crew was an out of control, rogue, totally political and power-hungry group of activists posing as FBI and DOJ officials.
The material justification behind ‘Oxferd Comma’ is as insufferable and ridiculous as the material they tried to frame around Crossfire Hurricane. In fact, the material was identical.
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.
The interesting race tonight will be the Democrat primary race in Michigan for a Senate seat where communist Abdul El-Sayed is facing Representative Haley Stevens an ordinary leftist. The Democrat Socialists of America are in full support of El-Sayed.
On the Republican side in Michigan, Trump backed John James is competing against Perry Johnson and Mike Cox for the governor’s race. Michigan, Virginia, Kansas, Missouri and Washington State are all holding primary races today.
If you are watching the race results, feel free to use this thread as an open discussion with your thoughts and opinions on any of the states holding elections today.
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.
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.
During an oval office event to support military families and servicemembers, President Trump took questions from the assembled press pool. The questioning begins at 23:19 (prompted):
What we can take away from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) index on manufacturing [Data Here]: overall, the U.S. manufacturing sector is continuing to expand significantly. The current index of 55.6 percent in July is 2.3 percentage points above the June figure and the highest reading since May 2022 (55.9 percent), when we were trying to recover from the COVID-19 shutdowns and supply chain problems.
PMI – The overall economy continued in expansion for the 21st month in a row. (A Manufacturing PMI® above 47.5 percent, over a period of time, generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy.) The New Orders Index expanded for the seventh consecutive month after four straight readings in contraction, registering 56.7 percent, up 0.7 percentage point compared to June’s figure of 56 percent.
The July reading of the Production Index (58.5 percent) is 6.3 percentage points higher than the 52.2 percent recorded in June and the highest figure since November 2021 (60.5 percent). The Prices Index remained in expansion (or ‘increasing’ territory), registering 71.1 percent, a 1.9-percentage point decrease from June’s reading of 73 percent. The Backlog of Orders Index registered 55 percent, up 4.5 percentage points compared to the 50.5 percent recorded in June.
The Employment Index reading of 52.8 percent is up 3.1 percentage points from June’s figure of 49.7 percent, putting the index in expansion territory for the first time in 33 months.” (source)
All that data and a couple of bucks will buy you a cup of coffee, but here’s what it means in common speak.
