Fauci subpoenaed for "self-dealing" by three Atorneys General

Three state attorneys general subpoena Fauci over alleged personal profit from COVID guidance

The attorneys general of Florida, West Virginia, and Louisiana have subpoenaed Dr. Anthony Fauci, demanding records tied to whether he used his pandemic authority to line his own pockets.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey, and Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill issued the joint subpoena requesting documents and communications generated between January 2020 and August of this year.

The probe centers on whether Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the White House's COVID-19 czar, shaped public health guidance not to protect Americans, but to advance his own financial interests.

The subpoena lands days after the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted along party lines to hold Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer questions about prize money he collected, COVID lockdowns, 

Uthmeier says Fauci chased 'book deals, awards, and fortune and fame' while Floridians were harmed Uthmeier laid out the case bluntly during a Wednesday appearance on Fox News' "America's Newsroom."

He told viewers his office is zeroing in on what he called Fauci's "self-dealing", a trail that runs through awards, book contracts, board positions, private foundation partnerships, and professorships the former COVID czar pursued while still directing national health policy.

Disabled Americans Act

House Passes Bill To Restore Dignity of Work for Disabled Americans

The House of Representatives took a decisive step this week to empower Americans with disabilities who want to work.

House lawmakers passed legislation that renews the Social Security Administration’s ability to test practical reforms and remove the bureaucratic traps that keep too many people on the sidelines.

H.R. 8884, the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act, sponsored by Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., cleared the House by a vote of 232-188.

The measure now moves to the Senate, where it has been referred to the Committee on Finance.

President never in Danger

WH: Trump 'Never in Danger' During Marine One Incident

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an air traffic safety incident involving Marine One after commercial flights at a D.C. airport were reportedly not halted before President Donald Trump's helicopter departed the White House on Tuesday.

The White House emphasized the president was never at risk. "Marine One flights are piloted by some of the best aviators in the world, and at no point was the president in harm's way," White House spokesman Kush Desai told The Hill.

The incident occurred shortly after 2:30 p.m. EDT as Trump traveled aboard Marine One to Joint Base Andrews to board Air Force One for a trip to California. According to reports, the presidential helicopter came within about a mile of an Envoy Air regional jet departing Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport for Pensacola, Florida.

The FAA said there was a "momentary loss of separation" between the aircraft but stressed the situation did not appear to be a dangerous close call. "The air traffic controller was in contact with both the commercial pilot and Marine One pilot during the loss of separation.

As the White House has said, the president was never in danger," an FAA spokesman said.

Small embassies to be shut down

Trump Administration to Close 5 US Embassies and Consulates

President Trump’s administration is preparing to close several smaller U.S. embassies and diplomatic offices around the world in a major State Department shake-up.

The move could save taxpayers millions while significantly reshaping America’s overseas presence. Five Locations Targeted.

The State Department informed Congress that it intends to close five diplomatic locations. The list includes the U.S. Embassy in St. George’s, Grenada. American consulates in Nagoya, Japan, and Medan, Indonesia, are also expected to close. The administration also plans to shut down the American Presence Post in Winnipeg, Canada. An embassy branch office in Douala, Cameroon, is included in the plan as well.

The department announced earlier this year that it would permanently close the U.S. consulate in Peshawar, Pakistan.

Spokane Arson--The Narrative Ran Ahead of the Facts

Spokane Wildfire Arson Suspect Arrested After Previously Shooting His Father

An arson suspect has been identified and arrested in connection with the Spokane wildfires that torched hundreds of homes, according to the source report.

That is a major turn in a story that many on the left were quick to frame through the usual climate-change lens before the facts had finished putting on their shoes. Wildfires are serious, and families losing homes is not a political game.

But when an arrest enters the picture, especially in an arson case, the public deserves a clear look at what investigators are dealing with instead of another lecture from the same crowd that seems to blame every flame, flood, drought, and bad hair day on climate change.

The report says the climate-change narrative pushed by the left after the latest wildfires affecting the United States has taken a major hit following news of the arrest.

That does not erase the suffering of the people affected, and it does not answer every question about every fire. But it does show why it is wise to wait for evidence before turning a disaster into a political sermon.

If authorities are looking at arson, then the story is not just about weather patterns or broad environmental claims. It is also about human action, accountability, and whether someone deliberately helped turn a community into ash.

Peter Navarro is bringing the manufacturing revival straight from the White House because the legacy media will not do it for him.

The ISM Manufacturing Index is not some abstract Wall Street mood ring. Above 50 means expansion, and under Trump it has now stayed above 50 for seven straight months. July came in around 56, the strongest reading since the pandemic rebound period.

Production, orders, inventories, supplier deliveries, and employment all moved into expansion. That is factory-floor evidence that Trump’s tariffs and tax cuts are forcing capital back home. [Luthman/Navarro]

FBI opened investigation against Trump one week after Comey's firing

Declassified FBI memos reveal bureau opened probe into whether Trump was a Russian agent after Comey firing

The White House released declassified FBI documents showing the bureau launched a counterintelligence investigation into whether President Trump was acting as a Russian agent, a probe that produced no charges and that a later special counsel called deeply flawed.

Seven days after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017, senior bureau officials signed off on an investigation codenamed "Oxferd Comma." Its stated purpose: to determine whether the sitting president of the United States was "directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation." The investigation ran for nearly two years. It ended on April 9, 2019, with no charges filed against Trump.

The memos, released by the White House on Wednesday, lay bare the FBI's internal reasoning for opening the probe, and expose how quickly the bureau escalated its suspicions about a president who had exercised his lawful authority to remove a subordinate. FBI opened the probe one week after Comey's firing.

The May 16, 2017 memo that launched Oxferd Comma was approved by then-FBI General Counsel James A. Baker and Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the bureau's counterintelligence division. The memo framed the investigation as a national security matter, not merely a criminal one.

The document stated that the FBI sought to:

"determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes"

Read about it...

The bureau sits under the U.S. Department of Justice and answers directly to the Attorney General who was Jeff Sessions at that time. Jeff Sessions remained the U.S. Attorney General after FBI Director James Comey was fired on May 9, 2017.

Sessions did not lose his job at that time; (he was fired by Trump in 2018) rather, he had already recused himself from the Russia investigation, meaning Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein took over specific supervisory oversight regarding Comey's replacement and the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

CDC Director confirmed by Senate

Senate Confirms Trump Pick for CDC Director

Dr. Erica Schwartz will become the top official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Senate on Aug. 5 confirmed President Donald Trump’s latest nominee for director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC, a public health agency that aims to protect Americans from diseases, has about 12,000 employees.

Fifty-one senators voted to confirm Dr. Erica Schwartz to the position, compared to 43 who voted no.

All the yes votes came from Republicans apart from Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.). All the no votes came from Democrats or Independents who caucus with Democrats. Six senators, including Sens. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), missed the vote.

Schwartz will become the second person Trump has nominated to serve as director of the CDC.

West Palm Beach Corporation wins $90 million Air Force Contract

Powerus subsidiary wins Air Force contract worth up to $90M

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Autonomous Power Corporation, operating as Powerus (NASDAQ:PUSA), announced Monday that its subsidiary Tandem Defense LLC received a contract from the U.S. Air Force for Group 1 aerial-denial unmanned aircraft systems.

The competitively awarded indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has a ceiling value of $90 million and extends through mid-2028, according to a press release statement. The contract includes ancillary support equipment, operator training, and field service representative support.

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio manages the contract. Under the IDIQ structure, the Air Force may place individual orders against the ceiling as requirements arise, with work locations to be determined by follow-on task orders.

Powerus stated that actual revenue will depend on individual task orders placed by the Air Force and may be materially less than the $90 million ceiling. The contract remains subject to government funding availability, task-order issuance, and the government’s right to terminate for convenience. The Air Force has obligated initial funding as of the announcement date.

Tandem Defense manufactures unmanned aircraft systems for military, government, and law enforcement customers in the United States.

Powerus (Nasdaq: PUSA), is a defense technology company headquartered at 515 North Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach, Florida. The company builds unified autonomous drone and counter-UAS systems for military and commercial operations.

Fetterman, Thorn in the side of some Democrats

Fetterman will not change his Party affiliation

But do the Democrats want him?

The New York Post reported that top Pennsylvania Democratic insiders have already begun maneuvering to mount a primary campaign against Fetterman in 2028, with former Rep. Conor Lamb seen as the likely challenger.

A Quinnipiac University poll showed a majority of Democratic voters disapprove of Fetterman's job performance, even though he remains broadly popular when Republican voters are included in the sample.

Fetterman himself has acknowledged the friction with his base. "Parts of my base are really angry with me, which is really strange," he said in an earlier interview. "I mean, run the numbers. I mean, I vote, I think 90%-plus Democrat... but my base, [they're] very angry about me being fully, fully, unapologetically supportive of Israel."

He has previously questioned whether Democrats have room for pro-Israel voices like his own, a question the party's activist wing has answered with growing hostility.

So the picture is this: a senator who votes with his party on the vast majority of legislation, but who has become a pariah within his own base over a handful of issues, chiefly Israel, and who responds to that rejection not by moderating but by escalating.

Calling elements of your own coalition supporters of "full-on communism" is not the language of a man trying to mend fences.

Marco's Couch Meme

Rubio breaks silence on viral Oval Office couch meme, says he 'hated' the photo at first

Secretary of State Marco Rubio finally addressed the internet's favorite meme of him sinking into an Oval Office couch, admitting he initially disliked the image but has since come around to the joke.

Rubio sat down with Fox News host Lara Trump over the weekend and confronted the photo that has dogged him since February 2025: a shot from a meeting with President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in which Rubio appears to be swallowed whole by White House furniture.

The image, taken during what BuzzFeed described as a tense Oval Office session, launched a meme empire that shows no sign of slowing down.

Rubio's explanation was simple: blame the couch.

The persecution of Catherine Herridge is not a private discovery fight. It is an assault on the First Amendment dressed up as civil contempt.

Herridge is one of the finest investigative journalists of her generation because she did the job the old-fashioned way: cultivated sources, verified facts, exposed uncomfortable truths, and protected the people who trusted her.

Now the courts are fining her $800 a day, with efforts to raise it to $5,000 a day, because she refuses to burn confidential sources.The victim is not merely Catherine Herridge. The victim is every future whistleblower who may now decide that speaking the truth simply carries too great a personal risk.

That is not accountability. That is a financial firing squad. [Roger Stone]

DSA Members are not Democrats

Gottheimer draws a line: Democratic Socialists aren't Democrats and aren't welcome

Rep. Josh Gottheimer is telling his own party that the Democratic Socialists of America are trying to hijack the Democratic brand, and he wants them shown the door.

The New Jersey Democrat, a leader of the moderate Blue Dog Coalition and a member of the House Intelligence Committee, went on Fox News Sunday to deliver a blunt message: DSA members are not Democrats, their values clash with the party's, and they should start their own organization instead of borrowing the Democratic label to push what he called a communist, anti-American, open-borders agenda.

His remarks landed the same weekend the DSA held its Socialists Summit in Chicago, where convention footage captured members voicing support for the Communist Manifesto, Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, and campus organizing aimed at driving Immigration and Customs Enforcement off university grounds. Newsmax reported on Gottheimer's interview and the DSA summit activity that prompted it.

Anti-War Movement

Greene, Massie, Kent and Carlson float third-party challenge amid GOP divide over Iran war

Former Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie joined Tucker Carlson and ex-Trump counterterrorism official Joe Kent for a public show of unity around a new political "movement", one built on opposition to the president's Iran war.

Greene shared a photo of the four seated around a wooden table on X on Aug. 1, declaring that Trump "betrayed us all" by breaking his promise to avoid foreign wars. The post drew nearly 10 million views and was shared 15,000 times, a measure of how far frustration with the war has spread inside the president's own base.

The gathering amounts to the most visible step yet by dissident figures on the populist right to channel that frustration into something organized. Greene, Massie, Carlson, and Kent have each paid a political or professional price for breaking with the White House. Now they say they want to build an alternative.
