Not just RFK: Big Tech bears down on news aggregator that challenges mainstream narratives <https://justthenews.com/nation/free-speech/not-just-rfk-big-tech-bears-down-news-aggregator-challenges-mainstream> --Citizens for Legitimate Government lost its web host and access to financial accounts with no warning for ideological disagreements, it says. New server, same delivery problems. By Greg Piper | 17 July 2023 | Days before anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is scheduled to testify <http://judiciary.house.gov/committee-activity/hearings/hearing-weaponization-federal-government-3> in Congress about his alleged censorship at the direction of the U.S. government, Big Tech appears to be ramping up a yearlong ad hoc campaign to squelch a news aggregator that questions mainstream political narratives. Citizens for Legitimate Government <https://legitgov.org/> is the brainchild of former professor Michael Rectenwald, whose Twitter alter ego "Deplorable NYU Prof" so riled New York University it paid him generously to quit in 2019 rather than let a jury hear his defamation lawsuit. CLG last month suddenly lost its web host of 14 years for what appeared to be explicitly ideological reasons, which also left Editor-in-Chief Lori Price unable to get into financial accounts linked to the domain. It routinely struggles to get its email newsletter in subscribers' inboxes.

Trump Received Letter Stating He Is Target of January 6 Investigation <https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-received-letter-stating-he-is-target-of-january-6-investigation_5405674.html> --Trump has four days to report to grand jury | 18 July 2023 | Former President Donald Trump said that he received a letter on July 17 informing him that he is a target of the special counsel investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach. Mr. Trump said the Sunday letter from special counsel Jack Smith gave him four days to report to a grand jury. In a message posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, on July 18, the former president suggested that the short deadline may mean he would be arrested and indicted. Mr. Trump called the letter “HORRIFYING NEWS for our country” and framed it with the backdrop of the two other indictments he is facing amid a heated presidential reelection campaign in which he is dominating the GOP field.

Trump says DOJ told him he is a target in Jan. 6 probe, must report to grand jury <https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/trump-says-doj-told-him-he-target-jan-6-probe-must-report-grand> --"I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation," he wrote. | 18 July 2023 | Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was informed by the Justice [sic] Department that he is a target of the Jan. 6 Grand Jury probe and he must report to the jury this week. "Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden's DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and indictment," Trump wrote. Special counsel Jack Smith is overseeing investigations into Trump's handling of classified materials as well as the former president's efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.Trump has already been indicted on 37 counts related to allegedly mishandling classified documents. He pleaded not guilty to all charges last month. 

Trump's Petition to Quash Fulton County Report on 2020 Election Denied by Georgia's Supreme Court <https://www.theepochtimes.com/trumps-petition-to-quash-fulton-county-report-on-2020-election-denied-by-georgias-supreme-court_5405061.html> | 18 July 2023 | In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of the state of Georgia denied former President Donald J. Trump’s attempt to scuttle a grand jury report in Fulton County on the 2020 presidential election in that state. The July 17 decision follows his repeated attempts to quash that special purpose grand jury report, which could lead to another criminal indictment for the previous commander-in-chief. Mr. Trump first sought to challenge the report in March. A petition to the Fulton County Superior Court from his attorney, prominent criminal defense lawyer Drew Findling, asserted that the statutes under which the investigation was being conducted were unconstitutional. It also drew attention to actions by the grand jury's forewoman, Emily or Emma Kohrs. Ms. Kohrs spoke to various media outlets, including in a highly publicized appearance on CNN, raising concerns of a compromised investigation process due to the public remarks by the forewoman as the trial was ongoing.

Forbidden questions, denied warrants, witness tipoffs: Agents detail interference in Biden probe <https://justthenews.com/accountability/whistleblowers/tueforbidden-questions-denied-warrants-witness-tipoffs-agents-detail> --Retired FBI supervisor latest to alert Congress as IRS whistleblowers prepare for day of public testimony | 17 July 2023 | A retired FBI supervisor’s account to Congress of how the bureau tipped off Joe Biden's team in December 2020 about plans to conduct a surprise interview of his son Hunter not only corroborates a key allegation from two IRS whistleblowers, it further paints a portrait of unusual meddling into the investigation of the first family's overseas business dealings and taxes. From search warrants denied to critical evidence kept from the investigative team, three experienced federal law enforcement agents have now offered Congress significant testimony and proof that the Hunter Biden probe did not follow FBI or IRS norms and left veteran investigators as well as the powerful House chairman seeing political favoritism and undue interference. "The Justice Department’s efforts to cover up for the Bidens reveals a two-tiered system of justice that sickens the American people," House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Monday night after releasing a summary of the FBI supervisory agent’s account.  

Former FBI Supervisory Special Agent Confirms IRS Whistleblower Testimony <https://oversight.house.gov/release/former-fbi-supervisory-special-agent-confirms-irs-whistleblower-testimony%EF%BF%BC/> | 17 July 2023 | House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer issued the following statement after committee staff today conducted a transcribed interview with a former FBI supervisory special agent assigned to the FBI's Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation: "Today, a former FBI supervisory special agent assigned to the FBI's Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation confirmed key portions of the IRS whistleblower’s testimony. The night before the interview of Hunter Biden, both Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team were tipped off about the planned interview. On the day of the Hunter Biden interview, federal agents were told to stand by and could not approach Hunter Biden--they had to wait for his call. As a result of the change in plans, IRS and FBI criminal investigators never got to interview Hunter Biden as part of the investigation. The Justice Department’s efforts to cover up for the Bidens reveals a two-tiered system of justice that sickens the American people. The Oversight Committee, along with the Judiciary Committee and Ways and Means Committee, will continue to seek the answers, transparency, and accountability that the American people demand and deserve."

Putin vows retaliation for new Crimean Bridge strike <https://www.rt.com/russia/579860-putin-statement-bridge/> --The blast was yet another "pointless and brutal" terrorist attack by the Kiev regime, the Russian president said | 17 July 2023 | Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed retaliation for a new overnight strike on the Crimean Bridge, targeted by two Ukrainian naval drones. Precise measures are currently being weighed up by the country's Defense Ministry, he said, during an extraordinary meeting with senior officials on Monday. "The incident is a yet another terrorist attack by the Kiev regime. This crime is pointless from the military point of view, since the Crimean Bridge has long not been used for military transport, and brutal, since only innocent civilians were killed and injured," the president stressed. Putin said Moscow would retaliate harshly for the attack. The Russian Defense Ministry is already preparing "necessary proposals" for such measures, he added.

The media identified the deceased as Aleksey Kulik, 40, and his wife Natalya, 36. The man worked as a truck driver, and the woman was an educator.

In the Donetsk direction, the Yug Group of the Russian armed forces has successfully repulsed 15 enemy attacks near several settlements, the ministry said. Two ammunition depots of the 54th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army and the 4th Operational Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard were destroyed in Rozdolevka and Ivano-Daryevka in the course of the fighting, the ministry added.

"The U.S. occupation forces brought to their bases in northern Iraq a convoy consisting of 120 vehicles, including 65 tankers, some of them carrying covered damaged military equipment, 20 refrigerated trucks, and 35 tanks loaded with stolen Syrian oil," the sources said, adding that the convoy was accompanied by four Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militia pickups for protection. Saturday’s account follows on reporting last week that a convoy of 39 tankers loaded with Syrian crude left fields in Hasakah and was similarly smuggled into Iraq, this time via the Mahmoudiya checkpoint -- another border crossing which the Damascus government doesn't control and hence considers illegal.

U.S. soldier facing military disciplinary actions flees to North Korea <https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2023/07/18/us-soldier-detained-by-north-korea-after-crossing-border/> | 18 July 2023 | An American soldier facing military disciplinary actions fled across the heavily armed border from South Korea into North Korea, U.S. officials said Tuesday, becoming the first American detained in the North in nearly five years. Two U.S. officials said the soldier detained was Private 2nd Class Travis King, who had just been released from a South Korean prison where he’d been held on assault charges and was facing additional military disciplinary actions in the United States. King, who’s in his early 20s, was escorted to the airport to be returned to Fort Bliss, Texas, but instead of getting on the plane he left and joined a tour of the Korean border village of Panmunjom, where he ran across the border.

Jan. 6 defendant appeals to Supreme Court in case that could upend hundreds of riot charges <https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/jan-6-defendant-appeals-supreme-court-case-could-upend-hundreds-riot-charges> | 16 July 2023 | Jan. 6 defendant Edward Jacob Lang is asking the Supreme Court to hear his challenge against one of the 11 charges he was indicted on -- obstruction of an official proceeding -- in a case that could upend legal proceedings against hundreds of other defendants indicted on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. The obstruction charge could be levied against "anyone who attends at a public demonstration gone awry," attorneys for Lang wrote in an appeal to the Supreme Court last week. The proceeding for which the charge was brought refers to the event where Congress certifies the Electoral College votes to confirm the president. The charge "is nothing less than the weaponization of the penal code to stifle dissent; it sets a terrifying precedent unworthy of this nation's history," Lang's attorneys also wrote.

January 6er Ronnie Sandlin Sentenced to Over Five Years in Prison After Refusing to Cooperate With Feds - Claims Inhumane Treatment and Raises Alarm About Prisoner Abuse by Correction Officers <https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/january-6er-ronnie-sandlin-sentenced-five-years-prison/> | 18 July 2023 | Ronnie Sandlin was sentenced to 5 years and 3 months for his involvement on January 6.

Ronnie Sandlin was one of the first people arrested after January 6. He's been incarcerated for two and one half years and was denied bond even though he had zero criminal history.

Notable names on the list of 15 people include several local restauranteurs who have sued Wu's administration alleging that she's biased against Italians and white people. Shana Cottone, an ex-Boston police officer fired over her opposing of vaccine mandates and also failing to do her job providing a security detail to Wu during a protest, was also named. Others named include local city council candidate and vehement critic of the mayor Catherine Vitale, as well as several anti-vaccine activists who have protested at Wu's home.

Kari Lake files appeal to Arizona Supreme Court, alleging over 8,000 ballots were misconfigured <https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/kari-lake-files-appeal-arizona-supreme-court-alleging-over-8000-ballots> | 15 July 2023 | Former Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake filed an appeal to the Arizona Supreme Court in her election case that alleges at least 8,000 unreadable ballots were misconfigured.

Approx.: 0281 (emphasis added)," the appeal reads.

Hazmat teams were seen at the site, although it is not clear if any substances were leaking from the cars, reported The Associated Press.

The revelations come after Sen.

Biden nibbles on frightened young girl during trip to Finland, 'creepiest moment yet' with a child <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-nibbles-frightened-young-girl-during-trip-finland-weirding-twitter-users> --Video footage shows little girl squirming to avoid kiss from Biden | 14 July 2023 | Joe Biden appeared to nibble at the shoulder of a startled little girl during his departure from Helsinki on Thursday.

The little girl -- who appeared frightened during the experience -- later turned her head when Biden, who will turn 81 in November, tried to give her a peck on the head. Footage from the incident quickly made the rounds on social media, where several users blasted the president [sic] for his peculiar conduct. "This has got to be Biden's creepiest moment yet with a child," Caleb Hull, a conservative operative, said of the footage.

The account is labeled "suspended" and all posts hidden, an action which Viganò described to LifeSiteNews's John-Henry Westen as "shameful." Deacon Nick Donnelly first announced the "bad news" on Twitter, writing that the platform "has suspended the account of the courageous Archbishop Vigano [and] silenced one of the few voices amongst the Catholic bishops speaking out against the globalist agenda."
