If your head isn't exploding, you aren't paying attention: Pentagon exempts Ukraine operations from potential government shutdown --Training of Ukrainian solders, weapons shipments would continue as Americans would go without services | 22 Sept 2023 | The Pentagon will exempt its Ukraine operations from a potential shutdown if lawmakers can't agree on a deal to fund the government by the end of the month, allowing key training and other activities [billions in weapons to foment WWIII] in support of Kiev's forces to move ahead uninterrupted, according to a Defense Department spokesperson. Washington is more resigned to the looming government shutdown every day. As the Sept. 30 deadline approaches, congressional leaders showed little progress this week in moving a stopgap funding bill to avert that scenario. The House was in chaos on Thursday as a group of GOP hardliners tanked a vote that could have offered a path to fund the government. The move means that the U.S. military’s activities related to the war, such as training of Ukrainian soldiers on American tactics and equipment, as well as shipments of weapons to Kyiv, will continue despite any potential shutdown.

McCarthy vows to strip Ukraine money from Pentagon bill after Greene 'no' vote | 22 Sept 2023 | Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced Friday that he will strip funding for Ukraine out of a Pentagon spending bill after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) joined conservatives in blocking the legislation from advancing earlier this week. McCarthy said he would remove the $300 million for Ukraine currently in the Pentagon appropriations bill and hold a separate vote on the funding. "It would be out and voted on by itself," McCarthy said when asked about the Ukraine aid in the Pentagon appropriations bill. The Speaker's announcement comes one day after a band of five conservatives opposed a procedural vote for the Pentagon appropriations bill, sinking the effort and preventing the legislation from moving forward. It was the second time this week that hard-liners blocked the funding bill from advancing.

House conservatives sink vote on advancing Pentagon funding bill | 19 Sept 2023 | Hard-line conservatives in the House sank a procedural vote on a Pentagon funding bill Tuesday, a significant setback for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). Five Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the rule for the appropriations bill, bringing the final vote to 212-214 -- short of the majority support needed.

Dan Bishop (N.C.), Ralph Norman (S.C.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Matt Rosendale (Mont.) and Ken Buck (Colo.) -- prevents the House from debating the legislation on the floor and, subsequently, voting on whether to pass it. The failed vote came hours after House GOP leadership pulled a procedural vote on the conference's proposal for a short-term funding bill amid opposition from conservatives -- another setback for McCarthy.

DHS Approved Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants for Secretive Foreign Flights Directly Into U.S. Airports, New Records Show | 21 Sep 2023 | A little-known part of the Biden administration's CBP One parole program permits inadmissible aliens to make an appointment to fly directly to airports in the interior of the United States, bypassing the border altogether. Partial data on the program, just obtained by the Center for immigration Studies pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request, reveals that more than 200,000 people from four countries have used this direct-flight and parole program over the past year. ...One of the least noticed, mysterious, and potentially the most controversial of the new re-channeling programs that use the CBP One app allows migrants to take commercial passenger flights from foreign countries straight to their American cities of choice, flying right over the border -- and even over Mexico. For this measure, Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Colombians -- while they are still in countries south of Mexico -- request "advance travel authorizations" through the same CBP One mobile app and take commercial flights (“at their own expense”) directly into U.S. airports, where U.S. Customs officers parole them into the nation, sight unseen, and in numbers publicly unknown. Here, migrants flying directly into America go uncounted in the monthly Border Patrol tallies, unnoticed, and without media inquiry, virtually all information about it almost hermetically sealed. But records obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies as part of ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation against U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show these migrant flights have brought significant numbers of migrants into U.S. cities over most of the past year...The records show that between late October 2022 and mid-September 2023, the administration approved a total of 221,456 Venezuelans, Haitians, Cubans, and Nicaraguans for "travel mode: air" into still-unspecified interior U.S. ports.

U.S. will again offer free at-home Covid tests starting Monday | 20 Sept 2023 | The Biden regime on Wednesday said it will resume offering free at-home Covid tests to American households Monday as the virus gains a stronger foothold nationwide. Americans will soon be able to use COVIDtests.gov to request four free tests, the administration said in a release. The government had offered free test kits through that website since January 2022, but the site stopped taking orders June 1 of this year to conserve supplies of the tests. The government is relaunching the program in time for the fall and winter when the virus typically spreads at higher levels. Covid hospitalizations have already increased for eight straight weeks -- an uptick primarily driven by newer strains of the virus. [Translation: it's election season, and the fear needs to be ramped up so mail-in ballots can be used once again, to rig another "election."]

Emmer Introduces Legislation to Block Federal Reserve from Issuing CBDCs in Any Form, Citing Surveillance Risks and Monetary Policy Concerns | 13 Sept 2023 | House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06) reintroduced his flagship legislation, the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Anti-Surveillance State Act, signaling a strong countermove against the Biden regime's overreach into Americans' financial privacy. Emmer has rallied a significant bloc of 50 original Republican co-sponsors, underscoring the concern among conservatives about the implications of a government-issued digital currency. At the core of this legislation is the principle that a Central Bank Digital Currency, unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, would give the federal government unprecedented powers to monitor and control individual financial transactions.

Pandemic unemployment fraud as high as $135B, watchdog says | 12 Sept 2023 | Fraudulent unemployment insurance payouts during the pandemic amounted to $100 billion to $135 billion, according to an estimate from the Government Accountability Office included in a report released on Tuesday. The congressional watchdog produced the estimate based on sampling of pandemic unemployment insurance payouts and the use of a statistical model that took fraud risks into account. According to the report, as of May 1, just $1.2 billion in fraudulent overpayments have been recovered by states. The Department of Labor, in reply comments dated Aug. 28, 2023 that were included in the report, said GAO's model "likely overestimates the level of fraud," and took issue with the sampling methodology.

Insane in the membrane: California bill forces companies to report all emissions, even from contractors --Companies that fail to submit verifiable inventories or have errors in their inventories could face $500,000 fines and litigation from the California Department of Justice | 12 Sept 2023 | Under a new emissions law waiting to be signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, emissions could be counted multiple times over as companies are forced to submit costly inventories of all emissions, even commuting and emissions from contractors. Critics say this bill will drive vertical integration under larger corporations that would stop doing business with smaller companies that struggle to measure their greenhouse gas emissions. SB 253, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, would require companies with over $1 billion in revenue doing business in the state to count and report all emissions from the company, its subsidiaries, and every source of indirect emissions from up and down the value chain -- from emissions created by the production of the energy used by the company all the way to employee commuting and emissions from the company's contractors.

Additionally, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. is investing $665.5 million for Ukraine's military and civilian security assistance and $206 million in humanitarian assistance, mostly for refugees who have been displaced by the war. Since February 2022, Blinken said the U.S. has committed more than $43 billion in security assistance to Kyiv. Washington has approved $135 billion worth of aid to Ukraine since the war began, according to a report last month from the Center for Strategic & International Studies. [How much did the Biden regime appropriate for those who lost everything in the Directed Energy Weapon attack in Lahaina?]

U.S. Plunder of Syria Continues as Convoys Smuggle 95 Tankers' Worth of Crude From Country | 10 Sept 2023 | The United States operates about a dozen illegal military bases in Syria, most of them concentrated in energy and food-rich areas of the country east of the Euphrates, which contain about nine-tenths of the war-torn nation's oil and gas resources. Damascus estimates total damage to its hydrocarbons industry of over $100 billion. U.S. forces in Syria reportedly smuggled a combined 95 tankers' worth of crude oil out of the country using two different convoys over the weekend. Sources in the al-Yaroubia countryside in al-Hasakah province told local media Sunday that 40 tankers of crude oil were shipped to Iraq from the al-Jazeera oil fields using the illegal Mahmoudiya border crossing. The sources also said that a separate convoy of 55 oil tankers, also from the al-Jazeera fields, was smuggled through the same crossing within the same 24-hour window.

U.S. considering assassination of Niger coup leaders - Moscow --Washington's spooks are returning to their old methods, Russia's foreign intelligence agency has claimed | 7 Sept 2023 | The U.S. government is considering whether to assassinate the leaders of the new military administration in Niger, which seized power in late July, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has warned. While the White House is “not satisfied” with events in the former French colony, it does not want to rely on military intervention by Niger's regional neighbors, the assessment released by the SVR on Thursday claimed. Washington considers that a "wetwork" solution by a proxy would be preferable to military action by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Russian agency said. ECOWAS has threatened to invade Niger to restore its ousted president Mohamed Bazoum to office, but has yet to act. French President Emmanuel Macron said last week that his nation would support military action by the bloc.

China claims ownership of the Taiwan Strait. Canada just sailed a warship through it --Canada made the journey along with the USS Ralph Johnson, a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer | 9 Sept 2023 | After months of secretive planning, and preparing the crew to defend their ship if necessary, the Royal Canadian Navy has transited the Taiwan Strait. As HMCS Ottawa entered the busy and strategically critical body of water at sunrise, it was flanked by three Chinese warships armed with missiles and torpedoes. They mirrored Ottawa's moves for the entire 17-hour crossing. Canada made the journey along with the USS Ralph Johnson, a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, in what both countries describe as a freedom of navigation exercise. CBC News was aboard the ship as it made the transit.

West using Zelensky's Jewish heritage to distract from Nazism in Ukraine - Putin | 5 Sept 2023 | Using Vladimir Zelensky's Jewish heritage to cover for the culpability of Ukrainian nationalists in the Holocaust during WWII is disgusting, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday, adding that the followers of Stepan Bandera were responsible for the killing of 1.5 million Jews. "I think it's important to repeat that Western handlers placed at the head of modern Ukraine an ethnic Jew, a man of Jewish background, with Jewish roots -- in this way, in my opinion, covering up the anti-human basis of the current Ukrainian state," Putin told journalist Pavel Zarubin. "That makes the entire situation so highly disgusting, to have an ethnic Jew mask the glorification of Nazism and those who carried out the Holocaust in Ukraine at the time, exterminating 1.5 million people," the Russian president added. "Ordinary Israeli citizens have figured this out the best. Just look at what they say online."

Dem gov facing impeachment calls for gun ban, saying constitutional rights are not absolute | 9 Sept 2023 | Two Republican members of the New Mexico State House of Representatives are calling for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to be impeached after she temporarily suspended open and concealed carry across Albuquerque and the surrounding Bernalillo County for at least 30 days. Grisham on Thursday said she needed to respond to recent gun-related deaths... The suspension of open and concealed carry was classified as an emergency public health order. Republican state Reps. Stefani Lord and John Block announced on Saturday they are calling for the governor to be impeached. "I am calling on counsel to begin the impeachment process against Governor Grisham," Lord said. "This is an abhorrent attempt at imposing a radical, progressive agenda on an unwilling populous. Rather than addressing crime at its core, Governor Grisham is restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Even Grisham believes this emergency order won't prohibit criminals from carrying or using weapons; a basic admission that this will only put New Mexicans in danger as they won't be able to defend themselves from violent crime." Speaking with Fox News Digital, Lord said that Grisham is a "rogue governor."

Soros-backed New Mexico governor riles conservatives with firearm suspension order | 9 Sept 2023 | New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, whose campaign was backed by left-wing billionaire [WEF dirt-bag] George Soros, riled up conservatives and gun owners after she issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days. The Democratic governor said she felt compelled to take action after a spate of recent shootings -- including the death of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week. Grisham's move met with a backlash on social media, especially from X owner Elon Musk, who did not mince words. "At risk of stating what should be obvious, deliberately violating the Constitution is next-level illegal," Musk posted on X. "How soon can this person be removed from office?" "Not only is this Michelle Lujan Grisham a moron, but she's also a Marxist through and through," conservative pundit Graham Ledger wrote.

Appeals court upholds decision barring Biden admin from colluding with Big Tech to censor | 10 Sept 2023 | The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday upheld a low court decision in Missouri v. Biden barring the federal government from working with social media companies to remove First Amendment-protected content. "Defendants, and their employees and agents, shall take no actions, formal or informal, directly or indirectly, to coerce or significantly encourage social-media companies to remove, delete, suppress, or reduce, including through altering their algorithms, posted social-media content containing protected free speech," the decision reads. "That includes, but is not limited to, compelling the platforms to act, such as by intimating that some form of punishment will follow a failure to comply with any request, or supervising, directing, or otherwise meaningfully controlling the social-media companies' decision-making process." "The First Amendment remains intact," posted Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey after the decision went public.

Six Republicans File Lawsuit to Remove Trump from 2024 Ballot in Colorado | 6 Sept 2023 | A coalition of six [dirt-bags] Republicans and unaffiliated Colorado voters, including former state and federal officials, filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state's 2024 presidential ballot. The plaintiffs are represented by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a nonprofit and "nonpartisan" watchdog organization, alongside law firms Tierney Lawrence Stiles LLC, KBN Law, LLC, and Olson Grimsley Kawanabe Hinchcliff & Murray LLC. The plaintiffs are Norma Anderson, Michelle Priola, Claudine Cmarada, Krista Kafer, Kathi Wright, and Christopher Castilian. The case argues that Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies any individual from holding federal office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the United States.

Enrique Tarrio Tells All After Sentencing - 'The FEDS Asked Me to LIE About President Trump in Order to Indict Him!' | 7 Sept 2023 | "They asked me to LIE about President Trump in order to indict him," Enrique Tarrio exclusively told the Gateway Pundit. "I told them to pound sand, and because I refused to lie about President Trump. It cost me twenty-two years of my life." "The truth is, I could have been home," said Tarrio. "I could have been home a long time ago. I could be in my warm ass bed right now, laughing at the world, without a problem...and all I had to do in order to do that WAS LIE ABOUT TRUMP. All I had to do was confirm a lie." Tarrio opened up to the Gateway Pundit after he was sentenced to decades in prison by the Dishonorable Judge Kelly on Tuesday. He told us that the prosecutors in the Department of Justice attempted to coerce him into signing a false statement that would implicate President Trump by swearing that "through several degrees of separation and connections, Tarrio had communicated with Trump regarding ‘plans’ for January 6th."

Jack Smith to Indict Trump Again - Special Counsel Investigates Fundraising, Breach of Voting Machines - Report | 5 Sept 2023 | Special Counsel Jack Smith is gearing up to indict President Trump out of Washington, D.C., again, according to a new report by CNN. Jack Smith has expanded his investigation into Trump's effort to challenge the 2020 election and is focusing on Trump's fundraising efforts. President Trump raised millions of dollars after the 2020 election to investigate rampant vote fraud by Democrats. Jack Smith is also investigating how the money was used to inspect the voting [sic] machines. A non-profit run by Sidney Powell hired forensic investigators to inspect voting machines in four swing states: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona. Fulton County DA Fani Willis indicted Trump and 18 of his associates on similar charges of computer trespass for daring to look at the voting machines.

Former Trump Advisor Dr. Peter Navarro Convicted of Criminal Contempt of Congress - Faces Prison Time, Heavy Fine | 7 Sept 2023 | Former Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro on Thursday was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena in Liz Cheney's January 6 investigation.

"The two counts each carry a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison, in addition to a maximum fine of $100,000," NBC News reported.

Novak Djokovic Wins U.S. Open in Ultimate Rebuke of Vaccine Mandates That Barred Him --Unvaccinated Djokovic wins the U.S. Open sponsored by Moderna | 10 Sept 2023 | Novak Djokovic on Sunday once again proved why he's the G.O.A.T. After being indefensibly banned by the Biden administration from competing in the U.S. Open in 2021 and 2022, Djokovic returned to New York City for 2023. And won the whole damn thing. Djokovic's fourth U.S. Open win and 24th Grand Slam title overall leaves one to wonder what could have been if not for how disastrously bad this administration's COVID policies were over the past few years. Biden and the CDC were relentless in their pursuit of anti-science mandates barring unvaccinated people from entering the United States. Despite overwhelming evidence by the early-middle part of 2021 that mRNA vaccines were ineffective at preventing infection or transmission. But similarly to their obsession with disproven mask mandates, authority figures refused to accept or acknowledge reality. And Djokovic was caught in the crosshairs of institutional incompetence.

Judge rules NYC teachers get jobs back after fighting COVID-19 vaccine mandate --The Children's Health Defense and Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sponsored the legal challenge and praised the ruling, calling it a win for religious freedom. | 9 Sept 2023 | judge has ruled that 10 New York City teachers who were fired for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine were wrongfully dismissed. In the ruling, New York state Supreme Court Judge Ralph J. Porzio said the city's denial of religious accommodations from getting vaccinated employees was "unlawful, arbitrary and capricious" and ordered the teachers to be reinstated with back pay. "This court sees no rational basis for not allowing unvaccinated classroom teachers in amongst an admitted population of primarily unvaccinated students," he wrote in the 22-page ruling. The lawsuit was filed by school principals, teachers and other educators after city officials rejected their claims for a religious exemption to the city's vaccine mandate for education workers, which was in effect from Oct. 1, 2021, to Feb. 10, 2023.

California city votes to ban universal COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates | 7 Sept 2023 | The City of Huntington Beach, California, voted Wednesday to ban universal mask and vaccine mandates for COVID-19. The matter was submitted by Mayor Pro Tem Gracey Van Der Mark, and included on the city's agenda for Tuesday. Van Der Mark said mask mandates imposed in the city "unnecessarily limited the freedoms of the citizens of Huntington Beach - even those who were not around anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 or at risk of any exposure." The declaration narrowly passed, with the City Council voting 4-3 before adjoining around 2:48 a.m. The ban will apply to city officials and not private businesses.

Maryland public elementary school reinstates COVID mask requirements, demands third-graders to wear N95 masks --School officials are requiring the masks 'to [pretend to] prevent further transmission' for the next 10 days | 5 Sept 2023 | An elementary school in a Washington, D.C., suburb in Maryland is reinstating school masks for third-graders, after a handful of kids recently tested positive for COVID-19. In a now-viral X post, OutKick founder Clay Travis posted a letter that was allegedly sent to all parents at Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Montgomery County, updating them on updated mask requirements for all students. "A DC area elementary school -- Montgomery County, Maryland -- is reinstating a mask mandate -- N95's -- for third-graders over a few kids testing positive for COVID," Travis wrote on X. "Here's the letter. They're coming with masks for your kids again. Get ready. Read this insanity." [Do not comply!]

Soros-backed group partners on 'Abolition School' to train activists to eradicate police, prisons [to continue the destruction of the U.S. from within] | 6 Sept 2023 | A dark money group that has received millions of dollars from George and Alex Soros's nonprofit network is partnering on a new "Abolition School" that trains activists to eliminate police and prisons. The Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability joined forces with left-wing groups to aid the Philadelphia-based W.E.B. Du Bois Movement School for Abolition & Reconstruction to prepare organizers against what they say is a capitalist society created from "overlapping forces of colonial dispossession and genocide, racialized chattel slavery, and violent patriarchal domination, whose extractive brutality toward humanity and nature alike is quickly rendering our planet uninhabitable." The school aims to familiarize activists with how to dismantle "oppressive" institutions they believe extensively contribute to their struggles.

DOJ finds state-run veteran care in New Jersey was so bad it violated Constitution --Veterans in two New Jersey homes were subject to 'inadequate infection control' | 7 Sept 2023 | New Jersey's state-run care at two veterans homes was bad enough to violate the U.S. Constitution, the Justice Department said Thursday. The DOJ found that the residents of New Jersey Veterans Memorial Homes in Menlo Park and Paramus faced "unreasonable harm and risk," violating the 14th Amendment. The investigation alleged that the occupants had "inadequate infection control practices and inadequate medical care." "We owe the veterans who served our nation our deepest thanks, and those veterans and their family members who live in these facilities have the right to appropriate care," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in a statement. "Based on our investigation, we have found that these facilities have provided inadequate protection from infections and deficient medical care, which have caused these veterans and their families great harm." [But there's billions available for the Nazis in Ukraine and the globalists' push toward WWIII.]

NYC and Boston brace for Hurricane Lee as forecast models show Category 5 storm could slam into the East Coast with 160mph winds and enormous storm surges --Hurricane Lee 'continues to strengthen at an exceptional rate,' the National Hurricane Center said on Thursday evening | 8 Sept 2023 | Models show Hurricane Lee could slam into the East Coast next week, bringing deadly storm surge and heavy rains to Boston and New York City...

U.S. to send controversial radioactive munitions containing depleted uranium to Ukraine --Exposure to radioactive uranium dust could lead to detrimental health risks, including birth defects and cancers. --The longevity of the radioactive particles could add to Ukraine's post-war clean-up challenge. | 2 Sept 2023 | The U.S. is sending controversial armor-piercing munitions containing depleted uranium to Ukraine, Reuters reports. The shells are part of a new military aid package for Ukraine set to be announced next week. The package will be worth between $240 million and $375 million, though the value and contents are still being finalized, according to an official. Although this is the first time the U.S. is supplying these munitions to Ukraine, it is not the first Western country to do so. The UK sent depleted uranium munitions earlier this year, Al Jazeera reported. At the time, Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would "respond accordingly given that the collective West is starting to use weapons with a "nuclear component." ...The International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons says inhaling or ingesting radioactive uranium dust can lead to detrimental health risks, including birth defects and cancers.

Moscow warns of direct clash with NATO | 2 Sept 2023 | The military confrontation in Ukraine has reached a point where it could easily spiral into a full-blown conflict between Russia and NATO, Moscow's deputy envoy to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, said on Friday. The diplomat blamed the US-led military bloc’s ever deeper involvement in the fighting between Moscow and Kiev. "We have repeatedly warned that the situation is quite dangerous and there is a big risk of a direct clash between Russia and NATO, "Polyansky said while answering questions on X (formerly Twitter). The US-led alliance is already supporting Ukrainian forces by every means possible, except for direct troop deployment, he said. Moscow sees "many indications that there are some instructors, mercenaries" in Ukraine, the deputy envoy stated. He also pointed to some "strange messages" about the deaths of NATO officers and generals.

Donald Trump Defiantly Declares 'WE WILL NOT COMPLY' in Response to Efforts to Reinstate COVID Lockdowns, Mask and Vaccine Mandates | 30 Aug 2023 | Former President Donald Trump released a fiery video statement, vehemently opposing attempts to reinstate COVID-19 restrictions, including lockdowns and mask and vaccine mandates. Trump's comments come amidst increased concerns over new variants of COVID-19 in an attempt to manipulate the upcoming 2024 presidential election. In the video posted on Truth Social, Trump argued that the "left-wing lunatics" are employing scare tactics again about new COVID-19 variants to set the stage for renewed restrictions. "...These are bad people. These are sick people we’re dealing with. But to every COVID tyrant who wants to take away our freedom, hear these words, WE WILL NOT COMPLY, so don't even think about it. We will not shut down our schools. We will not accept your lockdowns. We will not abide by your mask mandates, and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates. They rigged the 2020 election, and now they’re trying to do the same thing all over again. By rigging the most important election in the history of our country, the 2024 election, even if it means trying to bring back COVID. But they will fail because we will not let it happen. When I’m back in the White House, I will use every available authority to cut federal funding to any school, college, airline, or public transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a vaccine mandate."

After Booking, Mugshot, Trump Top Choice for Most Republican Voters - Poll | 2 Sept 2023 | Four criminal indictments and a viral mugshot later, former president and current GOP frontrunner for the seat in 2024 Donald Trump has only risen in the polls, garnering support as more Americans come to view the prosecutions as partisan and political. A Wall Street Journal poll conducted Aug. 24 to Aug. 30 and published Sept. 2 found that 59 percent of GOP primary voters say he is their top choice. "The new survey finds that what was once a two-man race for the nomination has collapsed into a lopsided contest," with President Trump widely taking the lead, the publication found.

'At Every Turn, The Legal System Seems to Thwart Our Good Faith Efforts' - Superior Court Judge's 'Mistakes' Lead Arizona Appeals Court to REJECT Abe Hamadeh's Stolen Election Lawsuit | 3 Sept 2023 | The incompetent Mohave County Superior Court Judge presiding over Abe Hamadeh's stolen election lawsuit, Lee F. Jantzen, continues to stall Hamadeh's fight for justice with his clumsy failures. Thousands of provisional ballots remain uncounted in the Arizona Attorney General race, a race called by just 280 votes -- the closest election in Arizona's history. "We have irrefutable proof that we have more votes than Kris Mayes, and at every turn, the legal system seems to thwart our good faith efforts to present the evidence in a court of law," said Hamadeh. Hamadeh's race was decided by 280 votes after a "significant miscount" of hundreds of votes was discovered in rural Pinal County's recount results. Additionally, voting machine failures at 60% of polling locations disenfranchised thousands of Republican election-day voters.

Federal Court Rules Against FDA Over Anti-Ivermectin Posts | 2 Sept 2023 | The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) likely overstepped its authority when it told Americans to "stop" using ivermectin against COVID-19, a federal court ruled on Sept. 1. "FDA can inform, but it has identified no authority allowing it to recommend consumers 'stop' taking medicine," U.S. Circuit Judge Don Willett wrote in the ruling. The FDA has authority under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to convey information to consumers. The FDA [at the behest of Big Pharma, so the deadly vax would be pursued instead] during the COVID-19 pandemic has issued multiple statements discouraging people from taking ivermectin against COVID-19. Three doctors sued the FDA over its statements on ivermectin, arguing the agency cannot advise doctors on which drugs to prescribe.

Smuggler with ISIS ties helping migrants illegally cross the border sends feds scrambling | 29 Aug 2023 | Federal authorities are investigating a cohort of Uzbek nationals, who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and claimed asylum in the United States, after new intelligence found they relied on assistance from a human trafficker linked to a "foreign terrorist organization," Fox News confirmed Tuesday. "Intelligence reporting alerted us to a human smuggling network working to facilitate the travel of Uzbek nationals to the United States," White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement to Fox News... CNN first reported that migrants from Uzbekistan crossed the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this year and were screened by the Department of Homeland Security, but nothing in the intelligence community's databases raised red flags. CNN reported that later on, the FBI learned about a smuggling network -- that included at least one person with ties to ISIS [I-CIA-SIS] -- that was helping migrants from Uzbekistan go to the U.S.

Marching 'Blood Tribe' Nazi Admits He's a Biden Supporter, Another ID'd as Ukrainian Soldier | 3 Sept 2023 | Groups of "Nazis" who call themselves the "Blood Tribe" and "Goyim Defense League" exposed themselves as Biden supporters and Azov Battalion members while marching in a rally in the Orlando, Florida area.

As it turns out, that tattoo-faced individual was identified as a member of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi militia known as the Azov Battalion. [So again I ask: WHY are we funding the Nazis in Ukraine?]

U.S. Attorney Weiss Colluded With DOJ to Thwart Congressional Questioning, Emails Show | 28 Aug 2023 | Emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit and shared exclusively with The Federalist establish that on multiple occasions, the Department of Justice intervened on behalf of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to respond to congressional inquiries related to the Hunter Biden investigation. This revelation raises more questions about the June 7, 2023, letter dispatched to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan under Weiss's signature line, in which the Delaware U.S. attorney claimed he had "ultimate authority" over charging decisions related to Hunter Biden. It also suggests Weiss and the DOJ may have conspired to mislead Congress.

National Archives acknowledges 5,400 Biden pseudonym emails, faces lawsuit for their release | 28 Aug 2023 | The National Archives and Records Administration acknowledged possessing potentially up to 5,400 emails connected to then-Vice President Joe Biden's pseudonym accounts that he used to forward government information and discuss business with his son, Hunter Biden, and others, and on Monday, the Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit to compel the agency to turn over the emails. The non-profit constitutional legal group that filed the lawsuit said the archives confirmed that Biden used the pseudonyms of Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware during his time in the Obama administration. The archives' admissions confirm years of reporting from Just the News about Biden's use of a personal email as vice president and the pseudonym accounts he used.
