Progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives, led by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are threatening to blow up a bipartisan infrastructure agreement if the Senate does not pass a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package.
Ocasio-Cortez claimed on Sunday that she had “more than enough” votes to tank the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which Democratic Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Ohio Sen. Rob Portman introduced last Monday. Sinema pledged on July 28 not to “support a bill that costs $3.5 trillion,” leading Ocasio-Cortez to imply that she deliberately created an all-white group of senators to negotiate the package.
An executive order signed quietly by Tennessee’s Republican governor is troubling some Americans as it greenlights the National Guard and State Guard to implement quarantines and involuntary commitment of citizens “in connection with certain health care and emergency services operations,” with the governor specifically concerned about “an increase in COVID-19 cases.” Gov. Bill Lee signed Executive Order 83 on Friday “with little fanfare” according to Tennessee Stands, an influential conservative coalition. The group says it found some of the provisions in the executive order “exceptionally concerning,” including:
“Discretion to utilize National Guard and State Guard members in connection with certain health care and emergency services operations.” Telephone
Hunter Biden was seen Sunday enjoying the Malibu night life in a rare family outing to the celebrity hotspot Greek restaurant Taverna Tony. Biden, 51, was joined by his wife, South African model Melissa Cohen, and their one-year-old son Beau, as he took a stroll through central downtown Malibu, where the three live nearby out of their $20,000-a-month rental mansion overlooking the ocean.The family appeared happy, with Hunter donning yellow-tinted aviator shades and carrying Beau on his shoulders.
Popular Trump supporter and MyPillow owner and founder Mike Lindell joined Steve Bannon Monday on The War Room the day before his much anticipated Cyber Symposium this week.Mike’s symposium in Sioux Falls, South Dakota will take place August 10-12 starting at 9 AM Central time.
The Gateway Pundit is sending two reporters to cover this historic event.On Monday Mike Lindell told Steve the symposium will cover 25 states on Tuesday, 25 states on Wednesday and a recap on Thursday.
Does Donald Trump have more time on his hands than we thought?In a fundraising email to supporters over the weekend, the former president announced a new version of the trademark red “Make America Great Again” hats and claimed he had “just designed” the new offering. “I just designed our BRAND NEW MAGA Hat and I want YOU to have it,” the email teased would-be donors to Trump’s Save America PAC. “You’ve always been one of my most LOYAL supporters, so I don’t want you to have just ANY hat… I want YOU to have the MAGA Hat that I personally HAND-SIGNED for YOU.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki wowed in a jaw-dropping green suit in the September issue of Vogue magazine. President Joe Biden’s press secretary looked striking wearing a long-sleeve emerald jacket and matching skirt sitting in the White House in the photo shared by the magazine on Instagram on Monday. She completed the stunning look with loose hair and jewelry. The article is titled, “Press Secretary Jen Psaki is Good At Mending Fences. Just Don’t Call Her Nice.”The photo was taken by famed fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz.
Two brothers have been charged with murder over the shooting death of Chicago police officer Ella French. Emonte Morgan, 21, is charged with first-degree murder of a peace officer, attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. His brother, Eric Morgan, 22, is charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and obstruction of justice. The charges were announced by the Chicago Police Department on Monday evening with the brother due in court for a bail hearing on
Barack Obama, former president, just spent his 60th birthday with friends, family and fawning celebrity types at a bash on Martha’s Vineyard. Not unexpected. And according to reports, he grooved to the song “Birthday [Expletive]” performed live by guest Trap Beckham. A bit unexpected. This is, after all, a former president, a former leader of the free world. A former dignified member of the elitist of all elitist circles.(Snip)Among the lyrics: “One time for the birthday [expletive]. Two times for the birthday [expletive]. Three times for the birthday [expletive]. [Expletive] it up if it’s your birthday [expletive].” The next four lines repeat the f-bomb line.

We should be allowed to shoot anyone who makes practical arguments regarding COVID-19, according to one 2022 California congressional candidate.
The candidate is Steve Cox, an independent running to represent California’s 39th Congressional District.
On Monday, Cox responded to conservative commentator Matt Walsh on Twitter, writing, “Whenever anyone says ‘we all die from something’ (or a variation thereof) to justify not taking precautions to help protect others in this pandemic, we should be allowed to shoot them.”
President Joe Biden is at his home in Wilmington, Delaware today. After receiving his daily presidential briefing at 10 a.m., the White House called a lid shortly afterward.
"The White House has called a travel pool lid at 11:27," the White House pool report states.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki isn't scheduled to give a briefing Monday afternoon.
Before calling a lid, President Biden released a statement about ongoing unrest and government crackdowns in Belarus.
One of the many traps into which conservatives routinely fall is thinking that their ideological opponents don’t fully understand the nature and the consequences of the ruinous policies they advocate. Cries of, “don’t they realize that…” and “surely they can see the hypocrisy” fill the air as the well-meaning but utterly naïve Right tries to make sense of the rabid, foaming Left and its dynamic plan for “direct action,” that is, force and violence. How else to explain the events of the past nine months, the astonishingly fast descent of the United States of America from a muscular Republic confident of its history, purpose, and mission
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been trying to cut a deal with top state officials, promising not to seek a fourth term if impeachment talks are scuttled — but no one is buying it, sources told THE CITY.
The governor and what’s left of his inner circle have been working the phones, fighting for his political life in the wake the damning Aug. 3 report detailing the sexual harassment allegations of 11 women and what investigators found was retaliation against one who went public.
Cuomo, whose term ends Dec. 31, 2022, has ignored calls for his resignation as the state Assembly pushes ahead with the impeachment process, which lawmakers said could take weeks.
CNN host Brianna Keilar on Monday blamed conservatives for “demonizing immigrants as diseased spreaders” of the coronavirus, saying that there are “no facts” to back up the claim that illegal immigrants at the southern border spread the pathogen.“There is a crisis on the border,” Keilar acknowledged Monday on CNN’s New Day.She noted that the last time this many migrants attempted to cross the border in one month was two decades ago. In July, according to unofficial counts, Customs and Border Protection faced more than 200,000 people
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in a new clip released Monday that she feared rioters would rape as well as kill her when they stormed the Capitol on January 6th. 'You didn't only think you were going to die, you thought you were going to be raped?' CNN host Dana Bash asked.'Yeah, I thought I was,' Ocasio-Cortez answered nodding. 'White supremacy and patriarchy are very linked in a lot of ways,' the progressive Democrat said when recalling that day. 'There's a lot of sexualizing of that violence and I didn't think that I was just going to be killed, I thought other things were
President Joe Biden approved of a move by the Justice Department Monday to conduct a 'fresh review' of documents pertaining to Saudi Arabia's role in 9/11.Biden was told Friday by nearly 1,800 Americans impacted by the terror attacks - including victims' family members, first responders and survivors - not to come to any of the 20th anniversary events unless he declassified documents that potentially show Saudi government links to the September 11, 2001 hijackers.
Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for the 2020 campaign of then-President Donald Trump, has become the latest leading conservative to call on Republicans to push for impeaching President Joe Biden for “multiple” constitutional cases of abuse.In comments to Newsmax TV on Saturday, Ellis pointed to Biden’s border policies, which including allowing tens of thousands of migrants into the country illegally, including many testing positive for COVID, while ignoring a Supreme Court order barring eviction moratoriums as reasons why Republicans should begin talking about impeachment even though they are currently in the minority in Congress.
Native American and white parents of multi-racial students at Lakeville Area Schools, alongside other Lakeville parents and students, have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the posting of Black Lives Matter posters on school property, claiming the schools refuse to post divergent views such as "All Lives Matter" and Blue Lives Matter posters.
The lawsuit is filed against Independent School District 194 and Superintendent Michael Baumann. The plaintiffs named in the suit include Bob and Cynthia Cajune, Kaylynn Kay Aker, Lion 194, and others who are not identified.
President Joe Biden’s border disaster is “politically toxic” for Democrats, according to the Washington Post‘s editorial board.“For the most part, the administration’s impulses are humane,” the pro-migration board wrote August 8, adding: However, they have driven a policy whose incoherence has yielded pressure at the border that may cost the Democrats control of one or both houses of Congress in next year’s midterm elections. So far, there is nothing in the administration’s short- or long-term strategizing that is likely to shift that dynamic.The editorial is titled, “President Biden needs a coherent strategy for the border.”The board is eager to pin the “toxic” policy on poor P.R.:
Columbia, S.C.–South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster on Monday continued to urge people to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but also repeated that whether students wear masks in class should be solely up to parents in a state where less than half the residents are fully vaccinated.(Snip)The General Assembly passed another budget provision in June banning school districts from requiring students and teachers to wear masks. McMaster on Monday repeated the line he has used since the spring that parents should be the ones who decide whether their children wear masks at least six times in the 15-minute news conference carried live on local television.
President Obama planned a 60th birthday party at his Martha's Vineyard mansion for 500 of his closest friends. So much for COVID. So much for global warming.
And after the ridicule and word of hypocrisy got out, Obama scaled it down, claiming it was just close friends and family now. But it didn't quite look that way once photos got out showing Obama dancing the night away — with the celebrity cavalcade of Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Steven Spielberg, Bradley Cooper, Don Cheadle, Erykah Badu, Steven Colbert, all his "closest" friends. Oh, and "close friend" John Kerry, too, who happens to be from Massachusetts. Imagine Kerry discoing
Gov. Greg Abbott has officially called another special session, forcing the Texas Democrats who fled to block a voter integrity bill to continue their foolhardy charade. But now, an activist judge has stepped in to throw them a lifeline.
The Democrat has signed an order to block enforcement of the arrest warrants put out for the Texas Democrats. Those arrests are allowed under the Texas Constitution as a way to force the appearance of lawmakers who refuse to show up to do their jobs. This appears to allow the fugitive Democrats to return home from Washington, DC now with no way to compel them

Border mayors, doctor sound the
alarm on COVID and migrants replies
Mayors of Texas border communities, as well as a prominent family medicine doctor, are sounding the alarm about the spread of COVID-19. They are calling on the Biden administration for help. Illegal migrants are testing positive for COVID-19 as they flood the southern border.
One well-respected doctor in Rio Grande City, Texas says it is not a coincidence that his medical practice has seen a significant “uptick in cases in the last couple of weeks.” The Rio Grande City area reports a 900% increase in the number of illegal migrants who tested positive for COVID-19 last month. Dr. Antonio Falcon points his finger at the Biden administration’s policies.
The Pentagon will require members of the U.S. military to receive a COVID-19 vaccine by September 15, according to the Associated Press.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin wrote in a memo to troops, obtained by the AP, that he will “seek the president’s approval to make the vaccines mandatory no later than mid-September” or when the vaccine receives final FDA approval — “whichever comes first.”
The FDA is expected to give final approval to the Pfizer vaccine early next month. However, without formal approval, the military would need a waiver from Biden to make the vaccine mandatory.
The United Nations issued yet one more climate report Monday. It’s best ignored. Of course the Democratic Party and its media department, always looking for a Reichstag fire, have weaponized it.
The hysterical responses to the Summary for Policymakers from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report were exactly what we expected.
“A Hotter Future Is Certain, Climate Panel Warns. But How Hot Is Up to Us,” says the New York Times’ screamer headline.
The BBC dutifully quotes U.N. Secretary General António Guterres, a member of Portugal’s Socialist Party, who said the report “is a code red for
Census Bureau statisticians and outside experts are trying to unravel a mystery: Why were so many questions about households in the 2020 census left unanswered? Residents did not respond to a multitude of questions about sex, race, Hispanic background, family relationships and age, even when providing a count of the number of people living in the home, according to documents released by the agency.

Lockdowns: ‘Time For Us To Resist’ replies
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) urged Americans to resist potential forthcoming lockdown measures, saying that the country could not go back to the state that it was in last year.
In a video that he posted to his Twitter account on Sunday that closely resembled an op-ed he wrote for Fox News last week, Paul said, “It’s time for us to resist.”“They can’t arrest all of us. They can’t keep all of your kids home from school. They can’t keep every government building closed – although I’ve got a long list of ones they might keep closed or might ought to keep closed,” Paul said.
The Colorado Rockies say that a fan did not yell racial slurs during Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins and that the man instead was shouting at the team's mascot.
The Rockies said Sunday that they were "disgusted" at what was widely believed to be a racial slur directed at Miami's Lewis Brinson, who is Black. But the organization told ESPN on Monday that the fan was shouting at Dinger, the team's dinosaur-themed mascot.
It’s Not Just About The Masks

It was never just a mask, it has always been a way of thinking. “Mask” is just shorthand.
I got dumped from my volunteer work at the Hawaiian Humane Society for choosing not to wear a mask outside while walking their dogs. Neither science, the CDC, nor the state requires a mask outdoors, and I’m fully vaccinated. Some staff bot saw my naked face and informed me of their “policy.” I asked why they had such a nonsensical policy, and her only answer was “it is our policy.” The conversation ended like an ever-growing percentage of conversations in America now end, with her saying, “Do I need to call security?”
Good grief these UniParty Senators are infuriating. During this interview with Maria Bartiromo, North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer (U-DC) actually has the nerve to brag about $450 billion in infrastructure spending amid a phase-one bill that has $1.2 trillion in total. What’s the other $800 billion dollars being spent on doofus?
Another of Cramer’s advocacy points is how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports the bill; as if that’s a good thing. (Snip)The insufferable republicans that support the phase-one bill (The DeceptiCon crew) are, by direct consequence, advancing the $3.5 trillion phase-two bill that is entirely a Democrat spending spree on the Green New Deal and other insane initiatives.
Family medical physician Dr. Dan Stock delivers a six minute lecture to the Mount Vernon School Board about corona-viruses in general and COVID-19 specifically. This is one of the best compacted encapsulations of medical science and common sense that I have seen.
Dr Stock is informing and educating the school board about how coronaviruses impact health, and specifically why the current COVID-19 virus mitigation efforts are futile. This video is not likely to remain on-line for long. Hopefully many will see it before it is removed. WATCH:
The Washington Post criticized the Biden administration's handling of the southern border crisis Sunday and pushed for a coherent strategy to deal with the record number of migrants trying to enter the U.S. illegally. In an editorial, the Post predicted the "incoherence" of the Biden administration's policies could lead to Democrats losing control of the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections, and there was likely nothing in its current strategy that would change that outcome.
"In its apparent desperation to fashion an immigration strategy that will impose order on increasingly out-of-control migration, the Biden administration has unleashed a torrent of words and goals untethered to specific policies
You can feel the cold terror of the Dems as Ron DoomSantis strides across the American political stage laying waste to the puny mortals nipping at his ankles, President Asterisk among them. The doddering old pervert might have thought he was cunning when asked by a reporter about the Lord Humungous of Florida by asking back “Governor Who?” Of course, the question became whether or not that mush-junkie Matlock superfan was trying to high-hat the competition or whether he really had no idea who the reporter was talking about when DeSantis riposted, “I’m not surprised that Biden doesn’t remember me .
The cofounder of Time’s Up, an advocacy group created amid the #MeToo movement to combat sexual harassment, resigned on Monday following reports that she was involved in an effort to discredit a woman who accused New York governor Andrew Cuomo of harassment.
Roberta Kaplan, who cofounded the group and heads its legal defense fund, said in her resignation letter that her work as a lawyer prevents her from publicly responding to questions about her involvement in that effort. Kaplan represents former top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa, and both reviewed a draft letter aimed at discrediting Cuomo accuser Lindsey Boylan
A top aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has resigned amid an AG report that accused Cuomo of sexually harassing several women, according to the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and other national media outlets.
Melissa DeRosa tendered her resignation on Sunday night.
A statement from DeRossa was tweeted by WSJ reporter Jimmy Vielkand.
“Personally, the past 2 years have been personally and mentally trying. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such talented and committed colleagues on behalf of our state,” DeRosa’s statement read, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Earth is getting so hot that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past a level of warming that world leaders have sought to prevent, according to a report released Monday that the United Nations called a “code red for humanity.” “It’s just guaranteed that it’s going to get worse,” said report co-author Linda Mearns, a senior climate scientist at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research. “Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.”(Snip)The authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which calls climate change clearly human-caused and “unequivocal,” makes more precise and warmer forecasts for the 21st century than it did last time
A 22-year-old freelance photographer was brutally attacked and beaten by a stranger while on vacation in Seattle. The victim, who goes by Caliber Visuals on social media, is still spitting up blood and getting severe headaches days later, he said. The attack was caught on graphic surveillance video, and shows Caliber approached by a man in an orange shirt and black pants. The two seem to shake hands, but the suspect doesn’t let go and throws Caliber to the ground. The suspect repeatedly kicks and stomps on Caliber’s head before knocking him unconscious. The suspect goes through Caliber’s pockets, taking his money and personal belongings
Senate Democrats fired the starting gun on their vast social spending plans on Monday morning, unveiling a $3.5 trillion budget of funding hikes for economic and environmental programs, setting up an autumn showdown over President Joe Biden's domestic policy ambitions. The 92-page measure lays the groundwork for legislation that over a decade would pour mountains of cash into their key priorities.
That includes money for education, health care and environmental programs plus tax breaks for families, funded in large part by tax increases on the wealthy and on corporations.
The Sturgis (SD) Motorcycle Rally is underway in ends next Sunday, and the Wuhan fearmongers are hard at work demonizing the event. (Video) If you aren’t familiar with the event, every year at this time, some 450,000 motorcyclists, plus or minus, descend upon the town of Sturgis, SD (population 6,700) for a week of consciousness-raising, scholarly conferences, and the presentation of academic papers. Of course, there are also adult beverages, substances legal and illegal, and celebrations of the biker culture…I’m looking forward to Sturgis joining “Juneteenth” on the Pantheon of holidays.
WALL, South Dakota — Everything about Wall Drug, arguably the most iconic and long-lasting drug store in America, exemplifies a doggedness. It took persistence not only to survive but also thrive against insurmountable odds in a place few thought a small business had any business starting an enterprise in the first place.
In 1931, when Ted Hustead and his wife Dorothy were looking for a place to open a drug store, he told the local paper years later he picked the thinly populated town of Wall because the local doctor told them he’d give them all his prescriptions.
Despite all their hard work, though, most of their potential customers passed

If you don’t think vaccines are one of the great achievements of Western Civilization, just take a walk through a 19th-century cemetery and witness the reality of the human condition before them. However, the COVID vaccine is not a traditional vaccine. It is, instead, a huge experiment that can have major negative consequences and that our institutions are nevertheless trying to make mandatory. (snip) they are an extraordinary achievement in molecular biology. However, if not for mass censorship, it would be stunningly clear that the COVID vaccines have been causing an unacceptable level of adverse reactions, especially for a virus with a death rate of only .5%.
It might surprise you to know I support critical race theory. Or, to be more exact, I believe it’s critical to understand – maybe more so than at any other point in our shared history in the U.S. – that there is only one race, the human race. There is no White race, no Black race, no red race, no brown race, no yellow race, no mixed race. There is one critical human race. That’s not a theory, that’s a fact.
A lion that reportedly killed and ate three children from the same family at a conservation area in Tanzania is now expected to be relocated away from human settlements.

We all know that the Democrats fight dirty; always have, always will. The Republicans on the other hand just sit back and let them lie, cheat and steal as if it would be rude to call them out for their crimes. They seem to delight in being known as the polite party. As a result, the left is plowing them under with glee. They impeached President Trump twice over nothing, less than nothing.
Former congressional candidate Matt Mowers on Friday attacked New Hampshire Democrats for attempting to cancel the state’s motto, “Live Free or Die.”
“Following @ChrisPappasNH‘s lead, the Liberals are once again trying to cancel Live Free or Die. Live Free or Die isn’t just a slogan on a license plate — it’s our way of life in the Granite State. We won’t let them cancel New Hampshire,” Mowers wrote about Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) and the Democrat Party. [Tweet]

As word got out that 700+ COVID super shedders were adjusting party hats in preparation for the "44-at-60" ass-kissing-fest on Martha's Vineyard, to quiet critics, Obama announced he was "scaling back" the Obamapalooza to include just "close family and friends."
For regular folks like you and me, the words "close family and friends," usually means Grandma, the kids, and a boxed Duncan Hines birthday cake.
But not for Shelley and Barry. As seaplanes full of victims of institutional and structural racism descended on Martha's Vineyard, "scaled back," became the most disingenuous parsing of words since "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."
In just 10 hours, from Saturday night through early Sunday morning, 41 people were shot and five were killed in Chicago.That includes the Chicago police officer fatally shot in West Englewood and two mass shootings in Gresham.It started shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday, when four men were wounded in a shooting on the Near West Side; the 41st person shot was a teenage boy wounded just before 5 a.m. in Roseland. Since then, through 9 p.m. Sunday, another seven people were shot, one fatally. So far this month, 150 people have been shot, 23 fatally,
Hours after Chicago police officer Ella French was killed during a traffic stop, Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) blamed “guns,” describing them as “a common enemy.” Breitbart News reports that French was working a traffic stop Saturday night just after 9 p.m. when at least one suspect opened fire on her and the male officer who was her partner. The gunfire proved fatal for French and left the male officer in critical condition.There were three suspects in the car from which the gunfire came: two males and a female. CNN notes that all three suspects are in custody. Mayor Lightfoot reacted to the attack on the officer by tweeting:

We the People wine has produced a viral ad that is so powerfully American it blows almost every single thing the Republican Party has done right out of the water.
That is according to political heavy-hitters and viewers who not only sent the video viral, but expressed shock that such an impactful visual display of patriotism didn’t come from people seeking a vote, but from a wine company using their voice to stand for their principles.
The advertisement uses a poignant speech from former President Ronald Reagan juxtaposed perfectly with modern clips of the left-wing assault on our cities in the form of riots and demand to defund the police.
One-in-five Americans say they have lost friendships over disagreements on the Chinese coronavirus, a daily YouGov survey updated Friday found.
The daily question surveyed 5,219 U.S. adults on August 5 and asked, “Have you lost any friendships because of differences in opinion related to the COVID-19 pandemic?”
Twenty percent of respondents said they have, 68 percent said they have not, and 11 percent indicated they remain unsure.
When broken down by party lines, nearly one-quarter of Democrats, 24 percent, said they have lost friendships, compared to 15 percent of Republicans.
A New York Times reporter received backlash on social media after making a comment on another network that critics believe dismissed concerns about former President Obama’s star-studded maskless birthday party over the weekend.New York Times White House Correspondent Annie Karni discussed the controversy surrounding Obama’s much-criticized Martha’s Vineyard celebration where he was seen not wearing a mask and used the term "sophisticated" crowd, saying that the guests were "following all the safety precautions."

His own Congressional biography and a puff piece by Fox News also confirm the Wiki timeline. Kinzinger followed the “upper crust” trajectory of preparation for political life.
