and transcripts of Biden interview with ghostwriter replies
Former President Joe Biden revealed classified information to his ghostwriter in 2016 and 2017 as the pair worked on his memoir following his tenure as vice president, newly released audio recordings and interview transcripts confirmed Monday. (snip)
The Project also highlighted that the pauses the former president took in the interview and the confusion demonstrated in the transcripts showed that Biden's mental decline was already taking place in 2017, before he became president.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., released a trove of Anthony Fauci’s diary entries Saturday, the latest in a series of document dumps further exposing the corruption of many of the scientists and government officials behind the tyrannical response to Covid. Among other revelations, Fauci’s entries from December 2019 to December 2022 reveal a man fixated on legacy media appearances, the perks of fame, and the growing Fauci “cult” even as the pandemic escalated.
The size of Fauci’s ego is no surprise to anyone who lived through Covid with his eyes open. He was notorious for doing home interviews with a portrait of himself in the background. He once claimed,

unpaid tuition replies
Just a few weeks before the first day of class, Howard University retracted the admission of 502 incoming freshmen, whom it says failed to pay tuition on time. Now, New York is opening up its public university system to affected students and offering $800 credits to offset non-refundable deposit costs.
The would-be incoming Howard students were notified July 22 by the school of their dis-enrollment, and many took to social media afterward to lament the situation.
Several attributed their delayed tuition payments to waiting for private scholarships and other financial aid promises from Howard, a private school and one the country's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Trump and Congress Should Reject the US-Saudi
Nuclear Deal replies
The [US-Saudi civilian nuclear] agreement threatens to weaken decades of US non-proliferation policy, ignite a regional arms race, embolden America's adversaries, and create security risks that future generations may be powerless to reverse.
The most controversial aspect of the proposed agreement is that it reportedly allows Saudi Arabia to develop domestic uranium enrichment capabilities under safeguards that fall short of the stringent standards previously demanded by Washington. While low-enriched uranium is used to fuel civilian nuclear reactors, the same technology can eventually produce highly enriched uranium suitable for nuclear weapons.
Several prominent Senate Republicans have joined President Donald Trump in pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the Senate’s August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, the voter-integrity legislation championed by the president.
The legislation aims to prevent noncitizens from voting.
As of Monday morning, Sens. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rick Scott, R-Fla., Mike Lee, R-Utah, Jim Banks, R-Ind., John Kennedy, R-La., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., have come out in favor of passing the legislation before recess.
Banks stated that after New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced that more than 6,600 noncitizens had been accidentally registered to vote, there has been a new push among Republicans to enact the legislation.
Some sectors of Louisiana’s economy faced challenges because of the Trump administration’s tariff policy, but House Speaker Mike Johnson said he believes the overall impact has been positive because it corrected what he described as trade disparities.
The administration turned to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 for authority to impose new tariffs, according to a White House memorandum. The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled earlier this year that the president could not impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
This month, the administration announced tariffs on imports from 60 economies, the memorandum said.
Sami Winc: Let’s turn to California, and California seems to be a petri dish of all those ideas that the Democrats have going. I’ll read a few of the things that are happening this week in California, and you can provide us with commentary.
The first thing that I think is very interesting is that the federal Congress, the House, has passed a bill for the defense budget of $1.15 trillion. In it, Donald Trump has the ability to seize property in California for an oil pipeline. The property they’re looking at is down near Santa Barbara.
The American auto industry is protected and thriving—and that’s thanks to Republicans in Congress doing their job, President Donald Trump said in a rally on July 27.
Trump spoke at the General Motors facility in Milford, Michigan on Monday ahead of the Senate primary debate to come later that evening.
The president emphasized that America is doing well, attributing much of the credit to Republicans in Congress, and inviting several Republican candidates on stage.
“And thanks to our Republican majorities in Congress, we actually made interest on auto loans fully tax deductible—but only if the car is made in America,” Trump said.
President Donald Trump is asking the Senate to abolish the Senate filibuster and adopt the SAVE America Act to get illegal aliens off of the voter rolls and to require proof of citizenship to register to vote from now on, citing over 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada alone. So far, the Senate is saying there aren’t the votes to abolish the filibuster.
What can be done in the interim, then?
Anyone registering to vote in the United States fills out the form under penalty of perjury, including the section where they check off if they’re a U.S. citizen. Meaning,
It’s summertime and Ukraine is rockin’ her Ozempic body. And you’ve gotta admit, she’s lookin’ pretty dang hot. (More on that — and why MAGA provocateur Laura Loomer’s Ukrainian conversion matters — in just a sec.)
There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who harbor self-aggrandizing revenge fantasies against the people who rejected us… and those who are dirty, filthy liars.
‘Cause I’ll admit it: When I was a teenager, I used to daydream about becoming so frickin’ famous that all the (many, many) girls who DARED reject me would regret it. Oh,
Last Friday, Joe Biden gave up the fight and declined to seek further review of an appeals court ruling on the release of 70 hours of conversations with his ghostwriter in 2017.
This was years before Democrats pushed Old Joe to run for president and rigged the primary and general elections in his favor.
The Oversight Project on Monday afternoon released recordings of Joe Biden’s interviews with his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. Oversight Project published more than 70 hours of recordings from Biden’s 2016 and 2017 conversations with his “Promise Me, Dad” ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer.
In the wake of a mass shooting in Seattle Sunday, the city’s Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson is facing scrutiny for deactivating surveillance cameras in parts of the city to protect criminals and illegal aliens.
A shootout between two thugs at Seattle’s Bite of Seattle food festival Sunday evening left three people dead and four others injured, including a toddler.
Seattle Police and SWAT teams responded within seconds, performing emergency aid at the scene and launching a search for suspects. Police reportedly recovered two guns at the scene.
Police identified the deceased victims as a 19-year-old man, 44-year-old man, and 56-year-old woman.

After France Says Unthinkable About Trump Administration replies
The French have done it again. The nation that gave the world the baguette, camembert cheese, and snooty accents crossed a big red line on social media after a U.N. Security Council meeting on Friday. The U.S. envoy, Dan Negrea, a senior delegation official and alternate representative at the General Assembly, slammed France’s “disingenuous grandstanding” and walked out during a Monday meeting
What drew the ire of the seasoned diplomat? France compared the United States to… North Korea.
No, seriously. Negrea took the French to task over their dishonest smear of the United States.
It is apropos that the same week that former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci will be grilled before the Senate on his COVID deception and falsehoods, Joe Biden's former Health and Human Services Secretary and CA governor candidate Xavier Becerra would also be in the crosshairs. Becerra is already under scrutiny for the 300,000 unaccompanied minors that went missing under his watch, when he served as HHS Secretary. On Monday, a whistleblower came forward and pulled the lid off of just how the sponsors of these children were vetted. Or rather, how they were not vetted.
Do you remember how, during the 2020 campaign, Donald Trump warned voters that China knew things about the Biden family's business dealings that gave Beijing real leverage over Joe Biden? He said Biden was compromised, and the legacy media rolled its eyes, called it a conspiracy theory, and moved on. Well, it turns out Trump was right the whole time.
Emmy-winning investigative reporter Catherine Herridge has spent years digging into the Biden family's foreign entanglements, going back to her coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop. While combing through newly declassified material tied to China's 2020 election influence operation, she found something that should be front-page news everywhere:
Trump administration urges Supreme Court
to allow order targeting mail-in voting

to allow order targeting mail-in voting
before midterms replies
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to clear the way for an executive order from President Donald Trump that could dramatically change mail-in voting ahead of November’s midterm elections.
The Justice Department asked the justices to halt for now lower court decisions blocking the sweeping changes in nearly half the country.
The request comes shortly after Trump delivered a primetime address elevating his yearslong push to raise doubts about the legitimacy of elections, and could be one of several voting-related challenges before the court ahead of the high-stakes midterm contest.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has doubled down on his “Eat the rich” campaign by publishing a list of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers guilty of . . . owning an apartment.
The city Department of Finance released an “enemies list” of property owners who might be covered by the new non-resident “pied-a-terre” tax — a kind of one-stop class-warfare shopping list for antifa radicals looking for targets.
Mind you, publicizing the list serves no good purpose: The city is mailing all these owners asking them to clarify if they don’t qualify for the new tax, so this publicity isn’t about informing them, it’s about scaring them.
The charges against Comey stem from a social media post in 2025 that featured an arranged set of seashells on a North Carolina beach spelling out “86 47” — 86 possibly meaning “eliminate” and 47 potentially meaning President Trump. While the phrase “86” does not inherently mean violence — it allegedly originated as a restaurant term — people immediately criticized the post for tangentially implying violence, and Comey deleted the post as a result. In April, the a grand jury delivered a two-count indictment against Comey, charging that he “did knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon,
A veritable who’s-who of the Big Apple’s upper crust — from movie stars to billionaire philanthropists — were named and had their addresses revealed on a list of New Yorkers who might be subject to the state’s new pied-à-terre tax.
Documents posted on the city Department of Finance webpage identified hundreds of thousands of entities who could find themselves in the crosshairs of the Mayor Zohran Mamdani-backed tax on luxury second homes.
The big names spotted by The Post scattered throughout the list included luminaries spanning the worlds of business, politics and the arts — such as actress and failed New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon, a devoted Mamdani supporter.
Joe Biden appeared confused, struggled to remember facts and lost his train of thought during a series of meandering conversations with his ghostwriter roughly four years before he was elected president.
The former commander-in-chief also repeatedly made reference to retaining classified information in the discussions with his biographer Mark Zwonitzer, according to newly-released audio tapes.
The heavily-redacted recordings of Biden working on his 2017 memoir with Zwonitzer were released Monday to the House Judiciary Committee and the conservative Oversight Project nonprofit after a two-year-long court battle.
“We now know what has been long assumed: the autopen scandal extends far back beyond just when Joe Biden ‘ran’ for president from his —
James Talarico, the radical Democrat nominee for the U.S. Senate race in Texas, once credited Islamic teachings and authors as an inspiration for his Christian faith. “I’ve learned as much about my faith from Salman’s tradition, from the Islamic mystics, from poets like Rumi, as much as I have from Christian authors,” Talarico said in the unearthed video.
Talarico has repeatedly made heretical and anti-Christian statements throughout his tenure in politics. He once claimed that he “always thinks of [himself] as a Christian who hates Christianity” and has made relativistic statements about all religions being “equal pathways to truth.”
President Donald Trump has scored a major victory against the New York Times in his defamation lawsuit against the news outlet. Trump announced that U.S. District Court Judge Steven Merryday denied a request for dismissal from the New York Times for the $15 billion lawsuit against the Times for alleged defamation of Trump and his business career across a decade.
“As we requested, the Highly Respected Judge has called for an updated complaint, which will lay out, in extreme detail, all the ways in which The Times has repeatedly and consistently acted, with actual malice in defaming me, my family, our Great MAGA Movement,
China’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) announced on July 19 that Ouyang Weimin, former president and deputy party secretary of the China Development Bank (CDB), is under investigation for suspected serious violations of party discipline and the law. Typical of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) purges, no further information was given.
Ouyang joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1986 and spent much of his early career at the People’s Bank of China before serving as vice governor of Guangdong. He was appointed CDB president and deputy party secretary in 2019 and stepped down as president in 2023. CDB, founded in 1994,
Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino, who spearheaded a failed “woke” rebrand last year, will step down from her position on Aug. 10, according to a Monday press release.
Masino, who served three years with the company, sparked a storm of backlash with her attempts to modernize Cracker Barrel’s branding in 2025. The company’s stock plummeted after the change, with shares losing more than half their value, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
