Former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox recently dropped his bid for the Republican candidate for governor. The highly unpopular Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is the likely Democratic candidate running for governor after being term-limited as Secretary of State.
Jocelyn Benson, who the Gateway Pundit frequently refers to as “America’s most dishonest Secretary of State,” is familiar with lawsuits. Benson has been involved in 69 election-related lawsuits during her time as Secretary of State. That is more than the combined total of the previous four Secretaries of State.

Harassing Teen Fans over Opposition to

The Seattle Storm apologized after the team’s co-owner Celeste Keaton harassed two teenage fans during a home game over their opposition to trans-identifying males participating in women’s sports.
Keaton was fined by the WNBA and suspended from the Storm’s next five home games for berating two teenage girls at Tuesday’s game against the Indiana Fever. The girls were wearing “XX XY Athletics” shirts and holding signs expressing support for Sophie Cunningham, a Fever guard who has spoken out in support of fairness in women’s and girls’ sports.
The WNBA has suspended Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton from attending the team's next five home games after her exchange with two fans during Tuesday's matchup with the Indiana Fever, the league confirmed Thursday.
According to multiple reports, Keaton had admonished a pair of fans who brought signs into Climate Pledge Arena supporting Fever guard Sophie Cunningham following her recent comments about transgender athletes. The fans told unDividedPod.com that Keaton directed expletives at them for a sign that thanked Cunningham "for speaking up for girls."
Along with the suspension, Keaton was fined an undisclosed amount, the league said.
My previous essay examined the parallels between Communism/Socialism and Twelver Shia violence. But to be clear, violence is the currency of all Islam, full stop. Despite claims to the contrary, almost no one converts to Islam (or becomes Commie/Socialist) absent coercion of one form or another. The Twelvers were highlighted because of the current situation with Iran and the homicidal Blues Brothers rulers itching to get their grubby fingers on the nuclear button.1 2

Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) unveiled a proposed health insurance option Wednesday in Fort Worth that he said could cut premiums nearly 20% for Texas families and small businesses while helping more than 1 million additional Texans obtain coverage.
Speaking at Los Vaqueros Mexican Restaurant in the Fort Worth Stockyards, Abbott said the Essential Benefits Health Insurance Plan would allow insurers to offer employer group plans that meet federal requirements while omitting some state-mandated benefits. Employers could still choose fully mandated policies.

to Call 'National Emergency' As Migrants
Overrun Border replies
Spain's socialist government is presiding over a manmade disaster.
Stunning images and videos have surfaced of Algerian and Moroccan migrants overrunning the coastal city of Ceuta. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin remarked on the disturbing videos. "This takes me back to Del Rio, TX in 2021 w/ the Haitian surge. Similar images," he remarked.
"This is what the DSA/socialist platform looks like in practice - in another country," he added. "No borders. No immigration enforcement. Complete freedom of movement without any resistance from the government." The videos coming out of Ceuta, Spain are insane," he added. "Thousands of Moroccans and Algerians breaching and overrunning the Spanish border."

Feasibility studies for a high-speed rail project began in 2006. By 2018, the first section was completed and opened, seven years after construction was started. Where is this bullet train? Not in California. It’s in Morocco.
California voters approved in 2008 a ballot measure for a “safe, convenient, affordable, and reliable alternative to driving and high gas prices” by a 53%-47% margin. Golden Staters were sold a train that would require a $10 billion bond and cost $33 billion to complete. Within a dozen years it would be ripping up and down the state at 220 mph, ferrying passengers between San Diego and Sacramento.
Fauci is beneath contempt
replies
The courts will decide whether the last-minute, blanket pardon that the autopen gave Anthony Fauci (Doctor Death) allows him to legitimately invoke the Fifth Amendment. Next week, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will hold a vote on a contempt resolution against him. While the legal complexities unfold, this is self-evident: Fauci is beneath contempt.
During his testimony before the same committee today, Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), had the temerity to claim that Dr. Death saved lives. I guess by that standard we all save lives when choosing to stop at red lights
What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution.
In the history of Congress, only a couple of mob bosses have invoked the privilege more.
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution,” the Machiavellian career bureaucrat said over and over in the nearly three-hour hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
But Fauci’s silence rendered him a villain more powerfully than his usual sly deceptions.
Shameful, too,

A survey by Michigan Education — conducted by the Glengariff Group and commissioned by the Michigan Education Association and Business Leaders for Michigan — finds Rogers leading El-Sayed by 10 points in a hypothetical matchup. Stevens holds a slim lead over Rogers in a direct matchup, with the Democrat congresswoman drawing nearly 46 percent support to the Michigan Republican’s 45 percent. Another nearly 9 percent of respondents remained undecided.
Moreover, the statewide poll of likely voters notes it has a margin of error of four points, meaning Stevens and Rogers are essentially tied in the hypothetical Senate race.
“This race is a toss-up,” the Glengariff Group noted in their survey.

families may sue Fauci over COVID-19 pandemic response replies
Tiffany Justice, a co-founder of Moms for Liberty and an influential parental rights advocate, tells Just the News that families whose kids were set back by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown may pursue legal action against Dr. Anthony Fauci.
“Fauci, by suppressing dissenting scientists, hiding the origins of the virus, acting beyond statutory limits of his position, stepped outside the protections of the Federal Tort Claims Act,” Justice said Wednesday in an interview on the John Solomon Reports podcast.
She continued: “His actions were not legitimate federal duties, and it would strip away the government's protection and leave him personally liable.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, stunned Republican senators on Wednesday when he refused to answer their questions about the COVID-19 pandemic by invoking his Fifth Amendment right at the start of a congressional hearing.
Unlike other instances of witnesses taking the Fifth, however, that wasn’t the end of the proceeding, as GOP and Democratic members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee continued quizzing Fauci for under four hours.
Republicans, led by Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.), demanded answers on the origins of the pandemic,
Advocates for voter ID in California have sued the state over altered ballot language for the November initiative.
The ballot initiative Proposition 39, which would amend the state constitution to require that voters provide government-issued identification to vote, originally included the description, “Establishes additional voter identification and citizenship verification requirements.”
However, last week, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, changed the language to say: “Prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification.”
Plaintiffs supporting the passage of Proposition 39 say it would not “prohibit” any votes. Under federal law—the Help America Vote Act—voters can cast provisional ballots if there is a question about their eligibility.
Both Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Bernie Moreno (R-OH) dismantled Anthony Fauci’s refusal to answer questions, pointing out that he has no leg to stand on during a contentious hearing that continually had Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid responsibility for his role in the pandemic and the many lies he told the American people throughout the years. Fauci informed lawmakers in his opening statement before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs that he would not be answering any questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights. Hawley, however, explained that his use of the Fifth Amendment is bunk.

After reading a statement alleging that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who was chairing the hearing, had an "obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution," Fauci clammed up. Undaunted, Paul proceeded to question him anyway.
We may have been denied the satisfaction of hearing Fauci having to answer for his tyrannical reign as the COVID king – where was the "No Kings" crowd back then? – but we were treated to the delightful sight of his obnoxious attorney, David Schertler, being hauled out of the room by security after ignoring Sen. Paul's warning to keep his mouth shut.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) dropped another bombshell during Wednesday’s explosive Senate hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci, confronting the former COVID czar with adverse event data that he argued should have triggered urgent scrutiny years ago—but instead was ignored while federal health agencies relentlessly promoted COVID vaccines and Remdesivir. Johnson’s latest exchange came after he previously confronted Fauci with stacks of studies on ivermectin and questioned why federal officials dismissed evidence supporting alternative treatments before Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during the hearing.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier just dropped the hammer on Dr. Anthony Fauci.
In a post on X on Wednesday, the Free State of Florida’s top law enforcement officer announced that his office is launching a formal state-level investigation into the former NIAID director following Fauci’s stunning refusal to answer questions under oath before Congress.
“Fauci’s lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable,” Uthmeier wrote. “My office is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci. It’s past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID.”
We have been warning for several years about the “new democratic norms” being established on a very totalitarian system of control; specifically, the control of information.
The need for control is a reaction to fear.
Finland is announcing that they will sever their international internet link that is connected to Russia, seemingly wanting to build a virtual wall between Russia and the ‘west’, or at least part of a virtual Iron Curtain they can control.
Four decades ago, the voice of freedom was heard saying, “tear down this wall.” Today, the modern version of European democracy is taking action akin to saying, “we must rebuild these walls.”
President Joe “The Autopen” Biden granted Dr. Anthony Fauci full immunity that covered “any offenses against the United States which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014, through the date of this pardon[.]” What this means is that Fauci had two options today when he sat down before Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) committee for his U.S. Senate testimony: Fauci could either 1) tell the truth or 2) risk a contempt of Congress charge for invoking the Fifth Amendment. Well, Fauci made his choice, and in doing so, not only placed himself in legal jeopardy,
The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video showing smoke shops and bodegas across New York City processing EBT cards for drugs and alcohol.
OMG released part one of the latest sting, dubbed, “Fraud Is The New Dope” on Wednesday.
NYC clerks were caught swiping the EBT card for illicit substances.
Per the OMG:
We went undercover inside smoke shops and bodegas across New York City to answer a simple question: Would retailers accept taxpayer-funded EBT benefits to pay for alcohol or drugs?
It is rare for me to support anything inserting more government into our lives.
However, I'm now looking at one of these exceptions.
It's the AM Radio in Every Vehicle Act. The legislation pushes back against automobile manufacturers moving to no longer include AM radio as standard equipment in new cars.
The bill mandates a Department of Transportation rule requiring that all new vehicles manufactured in the U.S. or imported come equipped with an AM radio and the ability to receive AM radio broadcasts.
At first glance, I felt, as I most always do, that what business is it of government to tell manufacturers what they should produce?
The U.S. military began conducting airstrikes against Iran late Wednesday in retaliation for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacking a U.S. base in Jordan the day before.
The U.S. forces began firing at 8 p.m., according to the U.S. Central Command.
The IRGC fired five missiles at U.S. forces in Jordan on Tuesday evening. Hours later, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia launched strikes on Iran-backed militias in Iraq, raising the risk of returning the region to all-out war.
The fresh round of strikes comes as President Trump warned Wednesday morning in an interview with Fox News that the U.S. will
President Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission (E.C.), the administrative arm of the European Union, just fined Google an additional $1 billion on top of the $12 billion that it had already fined Google. Google’s crimes include such infamies as ranking its own (free!) flight search services above similar competitors on its search pages.
In response, on July 24, President Trump tweeted on Truth Social:
The European Union is at it again and, as usual, taking direct aim at GREAT American Companies! ... [W]e have just been informed that Google, a truly advanced and amazing group, has been fined yet another 1 Billion Dollars. ...
