Look, we all know that Francesca Hong is nuttier than a fruitcake that is filled with nausea-inducing berries, but as she enters the home stretch before the August 11th primary, not to mention the soon-to-be-kicked-off general election, you would think she would want to consolidate the vote in her own party and start making herself look acceptable to Independent voters.
Nope, she intends to finish strong, if by strong you mean leaning into everything the most radical voters in the state love about her and emphasizing everything that scares the
COVID-19: Fauci's Holocaust

I am usually a forgive-and-forget kind of guy.
When I was 18, a guy painting our house accidentally lost his grip on a can of paint, which then rolled off the roof and exploded on the hood of my already bedraggled, orange 1974 Gremlin X. No problem, it was an accident.
In 1990, a neighbor living above me in New York City left his water running in his tub to thaw a Thanksgiving turkey and took a nap. His tub overflowed, flooding his floor and eventually sending a chunk of wet tenement ceiling onto my 12-inch TV (I know, I'm bragging). No big deal, feces happens.
But nothing about COVID
People tend to assume history moves in a straight line. Atrocities like genocide and slavery are confined to the distant past as progress marches permanently forward.
But that simply cannot be the case. “The line separating good and evil passes … through all human hearts,” as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn reminds us.
The battle for justice is ever ongoing: replete with setbacks, contradictions, and disappointments. Human beings are never beyond acts of evil, and so regimes are never unfailingly noble.
Americans are often guilty of progressive assumptions when it comes to our own story.
The first fortnight of Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government appears to indicate that his administration, like those before his, will once again be overshadowed by the migrant crisis in the English Channel, with over 2,000 illegals arriving on British shores since he took power just two weeks ago.
A further 326 illegal migrants successfully crossed the Channel from the French coastline on Saturday in people-smuggler-coordinated small boats, taking the total number since Burnham was installed in Downing Street by the left-wing Labour Party last month to 2,057.
Former White House COVID Task Force Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx threw Fauci under the bus after the former NIAID director refused to answer questions during last week’s senate hearing.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former NIAID director and face of America’s disastrous COVID response, finally appeared under subpoena last Wednesday morning before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
After enjoying his celebrity status and appearing on all of the networks during the Covid pandemic, all of a sudden Fauci shut his mouth and refused to explain his actions.
Fauci (unlawfully) pleaded the Fifth Amendment 111 times.
Even former high-ranking officials from the institutions of the European Union are beginning to speak out against the undemocratic regime of the unelected, untransparent, unaccountable European Commission -- especially under its senior bureaucrat, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The European Commission was never meant to have any power beyond what its EU member states granted it.
"My concept of the mission was to establish a law enforcement authority to help nation state authorities protect their borders, not to be an NGO or a humanitarian agency." — Fabrice Leggeri, former Executive Director of Frontex, the EU's Border and Coast Guard Agency, The European Conservative, May 27, 2024.
Rupert Lowe has set out five conditions under which he could work with Nigel Farage, including restoring Britain’s borders, reversing the “Islamification” of Britain and holding a referendum on the death penalty. The Express has the story:
The first thing that must be agreed upon in order for the two parties to work together, he said, is “restoring our borders”.
Mr Lowe said: “Ending mass immigration is not enough. The hour is just too late for that. It must be reversed.” …
Secondly, the parties must agree to restore Britain’s “demographic security”, suggesting that white Britons will become a minority later this century.
Mr Lowe said:
Old and busted: Demanding ID for voting hurts the poor, women, and minorities! New hotness: Bring your ID if you expect to eat at Commie Basket!
For decades, the Left has insisted that asking for identification to access the ballot box was far too burdensome for its grievance collectives. Of late, the argument has been that black voters and women face particular burdens in getting accurate identification, the former because of the lingering effects of Jim Crow and the latter because of name changes due to marriage and divorce. Requiring ID to vote would disenfranchise these voters, Democrats insist, even though every poll shows majority support for voter-
Renowned wildlife biologist Forrest Galante erupted during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, accusing Bill Gates and his foundation of helping destroy one of Africa’s most important freshwater fisheries through a disastrous mosquito-net program.
Galante said the foundation distributed millions of tightly woven nets across communities near the Cahora Bassa Delta to combat malaria.
However, starving residents used the nets to catch fish instead.
Because mosquito nets contain extremely small holes, Galante said they indiscriminately captured juvenile fish before they could mature and reproduce, devastating a fishery relied upon by millions of people.

Microsoft co-founder and private citizen Bill Gates received top security clearance from the Department of Energy (DOE), giving him access to deep government secrets for seven years, according to a letter obtained by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
The billionaire was given “Q security clearance” from 2014 to 2021, beginning during Barack Obama’s presidency and overlapping Dr. Anthony Fauci’s controversial and powerful tenure heading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), according to the Daily Caller’s reporting of the letter.
Sen. Paul requested the letter be entered into the Congressional record during Wednesday’s committee hearing where the now retired disease doctor evoked Fifth Amendment protection more than 100 times when
Old habits die hard. At least that is the case for our Supreme Court’s Justice Neil Gorsuch, who persists in repeating the erroneous narrative that America was founded as religiously neutral. In a July 24th interview with PBS’ Margaret Hoover, Gorsuch gave his interpretation of the American founding, denying America was founded as a Christian nation:
“We were never supposed to be a nation that was about one race or one religion … It was about those ideas [in the Declaration of Independence] … We have a First Amendment, for crying out loud. No established religion.”
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman vowed to undo Gov. Kathy Hochul’s “oppressive” and “reckless” pied-à-terre tax if elected – as it was revealed the Big Apple plans to hire dozens of employees just to process the new fee.
Blakeman, who’s currently serving as the elected Nassau County executive, issued a dire warning Thursday saying state Democratic Party policies will drive more New Yorkers out of the city, which already carries a 12.5% local tax burden, the third highest in the country.
“This reckless tax will drive even more families, jobs, and investment out of our state, and middle-class New Yorkers will pay the price,” Blakeman said.

Several people sent me this video with comments about DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin appearing to be hesitant on deporting illegal aliens. I watched ready to chew (in typeset) his head off. However, I don’t see that amnesty aspect as part of his commentary.
On the illegal alien workers, I structurally disagree with every single person who have used that argument for the past 20 years. We do not need illegal alien workers, not even in the agricultural sector. The illegal farm worker argument is a ruse, created by Big Ag, and promoted by smaller Ag to protect their bottom line and themselves from criticism.
Is Trump’s Flat Voter Favorability In

August Bad News For GOP’s Midterm Hopes?
I&I/TIPP Poll replies
Early this summer, President Donald Trump eked out marginal gains in voters’ perceptions of his presidential performance. But in August, those gains weren’t repeated. Trump’s favorability among voters remained flat, even as the Iran war flared once again, pushing global energy prices higher.
Each month, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asks American voters to assess presidential performance, starting with: “Overall, is your opinion of Donald Trump generally favorable, generally unfavorable, or are you not familiar enough to say one way or the other?”
In August’s poll, 39% held a “favorable” opinion of Trump’s time in office, versus a slim majority
There is a frustrating contradiction when it comes to the way public information is assessed for factual truth. For decades, prominent news organizations have steadily lost credibility. Fewer Americans than ever believe what The New York Times, CNN, NPR, or even the AP publishes as the “objective” record of current events. At the same time, however, alternative, competing descriptions of current events are almost entirely ignored. No matter how compelling or factually sourced a story might be, it is largely disregarded until mainstream corporate news institutions are willing to recognize its validity.
This annoying state of affairs was highlighted last week after
Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., announced that she has restored voting rights to 66,085 Virginians who had prior felony convictions.
Virginia’s constitution doesn't allow convicted felons to vote after serving their sentences unless a governor restores their voting rights.
“I’m proud that — after contending with my predecessor’s efforts to deny Virginians their fundamental rights — we have restored the rights of more than 66,000 Virginians who have served their time,” Spanberger said in a statement. “These Virginians deserve the right to use their vote, make their voices heard, and be recognized as contributing citizens to our Commonwealth and country.”
As the midterms loom, the commentariat is confidently predicting that the Republican House majority is all but doomed. It is of course true that history does not portend a victorious outcome for the GOP. The president’s party almost always loses House seats in midterm elections. Yet history has been confounded more than once during the Trump era. There are factors at play this year that may save the GOP majority. The Republicans enjoy a 2-to-1 cash advantage over the Democrats (snip) and the same people who orchestrated President Trump’s historic 2024 victory are managing the party’s midterm strategy.

Did you hear that scraping noise? That's the sound of goalposts being moved. This time, it involves that thing that happens rarely if ever, according to the legacy media, although it sure seems to keep happening. Namely, people voting who shouldn't be.
As yet another case of an illegal alien registering to vote and then casting a ballot has emerged, Politico, that bastion of the left-tilted legacy media, has been forced to admit that, yes, there's a problem.
You don't say.
That’s because Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill disclosed last week that a “software error”
The rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and other radicals has thrown the Democrat Party into turmoil.
We've seen the DSA admitting quite openly how they want to upend critical principles that uphold our system of government. Yet, we hear many Democrats, in response, say that the party is a "big tent." Translation? We'll let anyone in if we think it helps our power. But one who is standing up against it is the frequently ranting Democrat operative, James Carville. But in this case, all of his ranting is well deserved. He knows his party is committing political suicide, and he just put them on notice about it.
As RedState reported, there was a mass shooting at a newly opened Twin Falls, Idaho, In-N-Out restaurant on Saturday afternoon, where the shooter was seen on video opening fire, including at/near a parked Tesla vehicle. Also seen on video was what appeared to be an armed citizen trying to engage the shooter. In an update to this story, law enforcement officials held a press conference on Sunday afternoon and shared that three people were killed and seven were injured.
In all, three people died and seven others were injured at the recently opened restaurant in the southern Idaho city of about 56,000 people. Authorities said Sunday that two of the injured
A recent poll out of Texas showed Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico with a two-point advantage over his opponent, Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton.The independent Wedgewood Polls surveyed 800 likely voters on Thursday and Friday, and the results showed Talarico at 48 percent while Paxton was at 46 percent:
President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton in May, according to Breitbart News.

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., revealed he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against a judge on Monday.
“SCOTUS made it very clear that lower courts cannot suspend TPS. Yet, an Obama-appointed judge is defying the Court and the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the will of the President," Ogles said in a statement provided to Just the News.
"This judicial activist’s obstruction of the people’s will must be stopped. Judge Burroughs must be impeached," he added.
Ogles wrote on X that U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs' decision to block Trump from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis was unconstitutional.
