Trrump v. Clinton

President Trump is pushing his lawsuit against Hillary Clinton all the way to the Supreme Court

He is seeking to overturn an appellate ruling that rejected his claims and hit him with nearly $1 million in sanctions.

Justice Clarence Thomas granted Trump’s request for more time to file a formal petition with the high court, extending the deadline to September 9. Thomas handles routine administrative motions from the relevant circuit, and the extension itself does not signal how any justice might vote on the merits. But the move keeps alive a legal fight that Trump’s own attorneys say raises “exceptionally important” issues with consequences for the presidency itself.

The case, Trump v. Clinton, centers on Trump’s allegation that Clinton and others conspired to “weave a false narrative” that his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia. A lower court tossed the suit. A conservative appeals court upheld that dismissal and went further, imposing sanctions of nearly $1 million against Trump, his attorney Alina Habba, and Habba’s law firm. The appellate panel wrote that “many of Trump’s and Habba’s legal arguments were indeed frivolous.”

Trump’s legal team disagrees. In their extension motion, filed July 23, his lawyers argued that the ruling and sanctions carry “profound impact on the Presidency, and the nation as a whole.” They signaled that the forthcoming petition will challenge both the substance of the dismissal and the sanctions themselves.

Four justices must agree to hear a case before the Supreme Court grants review, a high bar that most petitions never clear. Whether Trump can persuade that many remains an open question.

Senate Resolution: Ghislane Maxwell will not get a pardon

Senate votes unanimously to oppose any pardon for convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell

Every senator on the floor backed a resolution opposing clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, a rare bipartisan rebuke aimed squarely at the possibility that the convicted sex trafficker could walk free.

Sen. Jacky Rosen, a Nevada Democrat, brought the non-binding resolution to the Senate floor on Wednesday, and not a single senator objected. The measure passed by unanimous consent, putting the full chamber on record against any presidential pardon, commutation, or other form of executive clemency for Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for facilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.

The timing was deliberate. Rosen introduced the resolution one day before the Senate Judiciary Committee was scheduled to advance the nomination of Todd Blanche, the acting Attorney General whom President Trump has tapped to remain in the role permanently.

Blanche interviewed Maxwell for two days last summer and produced written testimony in which Maxwell stated she had never seen Trump engage in improper conduct.

Bipartisan agreement in the Senate is rare enough to be newsworthy on its own. Cross-party votes on resolutions tend to happen only when the alternative, being seen as the lone holdout, carries more risk than the vote itself.

On the question of pardoning a woman who helped traffic children, that calculation was apparently simple enough for every senator in the chamber.

The Senate filibuster is a lot like a fire extinguisher behind glass — Democrats spent years trying to smash through it, and now they’re the ones screaming if anyone else reaches for the hammer.

The current standoff is straightforward. The SAVE America Act, a Republican-backed election integrity bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, passed the House. It has majority support in the Senate. But it doesn’t have 60 votes, which means the filibuster stands between the bill and the president’s desk.

President Trump isn’t having it. He took to Truth Social demanding Majority Leader John Thune keep the Senate in session through August recess until the bill passes — or better yet, terminate the filibuster entirely.

Sens. Mike Lee and Rick Scott backed him up, publicly opposing any recess until the job gets done. Meanwhile, Sen. Mitch McConnell, a longtime filibuster defender, remains sidelined in rehab after a June fall, giving the push an unlikely opening. [The PatriotJournal]

Good Night, Patriots!

Mamdani's tax on 2nd home luxury real estate market

Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax is one month old — and Manhattan's luxury market is already paying the price

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's new tax on high-end second homes took effect July 1, and real estate brokers say it is already freezing buyers, inflating the luxury rental market, and pushing wealthy purchasers out of New York City altogether.

A month into the policy, the picture emerging from Manhattan's brokerage offices is blunt: international buyers are walking away from signed deals, sellers are listing properties they once planned to keep, and six-figure-a-month rental units are filling up with people who would have bought if the city had not added a new annual bill on top of already steep property taxes.

The tax applies to second homes valued above $5 million, starting at a 4-percent annual rate and climbing to 6.5 percent under the first phase of the plan. A second phase, set for the 2028, 29 tax year, will change how the levy is calculated, details the city has not yet made public.

The policy's supporters frame it as a way to make billionaire absentee owners pay their share. But the brokers who move these properties every day describe something different: a market recoiling from a tax that adds hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual carrying costs to units that already generate enormous revenue for the city treasury.

A Madrid buyer walked away from an $8.9 million condo in eleven days.

Dr. Deborah Birx

Birx Says Blue States ‘Overclosed’ After Fauci Pleads the Fifth 111 Times

Former White House COVID Task Force Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx criticized pandemic-era restrictions after Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly declined to answer questions at a Senate hearing.

Fauci became one of the most recognizable public officials during the pandemic. He appeared regularly on television and helped shape the public messaging surrounding masks, vaccines, closures, and other restrictions. His refusal to answer questions at the hearing drew renewed criticism from opponents of those policies.

Birx, who worked alongside Fauci on the White House task force, addressed the hearing during an appearance on Newsmax. She argued that politics played a major role in how some states responded to the pandemic.

“There were solutions, but it became very political, and we all have to be aware, because it was a presidential election year,” Birx said.
She continued, “It was really important for blue states to show that they were taking this very seriously, and they overclosed. And we just have to be honest that that happened!”

Birx’s comments drew attention because she was also a prominent advocate for strict precautions during the pandemic.

Critics have pointed to her support for measures such as goggles and multiple masks. She also faced backlash after traveling to visit family during Thanksgiving  🦃 while encouraging Americans to avoid visiting their own relatives.

Democrat Socialist candidate: "Cancel Thankgiving" 🦃

Wisconsin Democratic frontrunner Francesca Hong faces backlash over deleted 'Cancel Thanksgiving' post

Francesca Hong, the Democratic Socialists of America-backed frontrunner in Wisconsin's gubernatorial primary, is drawing fire after deleted social media posts resurfaced, including a 2020 call to "Cancel Thanksgiving" and a 2019 complaint about "old white people" at a Culver's restaurant.

With fewer than two weeks before the August 11 primary, Hong's old posts on X handed conservative critics fresh ammunition and raised questions about whether the likely Democratic nominee can compete statewide in a battleground that often turns on the votes of the very people she once described as a source of anxiety.

The New York Post reported that both posts drew widespread mockery online Friday, with commentators from across the right seizing on the deleted Thanksgiving message and the still-visible Culver's post.

Hong's November 2020 post, since deleted from X, read plainly enough: "Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621." A follow-up elaborated on the reasoning:

"If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed indigenous folx [sic] and women, so be it."

The spelling of "folks" as "folx", a progressive neologism meant to signal inclusivity, drew its own round of attention. Conservative podcaster Stephen Miller posted a one-word reply on X: "'Folx.'"

More talks begin today on Iran

Trump says Iran talks begin Monday (today) after canceling ‘biggest attack since World War II’

The President says Gulf allies and Iran asked him to give diplomacy more time as negotiators seek to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and revive a June peace framework, though Tehran has not accepted his account or the proposed terms.

President Donald Trump said Aug. 2 that negotiations with Iran would begin the next afternoon after he canceled a massive planned U.S. strike, creating a new but uncertain opening toward an end to the five-month war.

Trump said the original planned operation “would have been by far the biggest attack since World War II” and “disastrous” for Iran.

Reuters reported July 31, citing CBS News sources, that U.S. and Israeli officials had been preparing strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, but Trump did not confirm whether those targets were part of the canceled plan.

Trump said Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Iran had urged him not to launch the attack. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told him regional governments “would much prefer a deal as opposed to an attack, because you don’t know where these attacks lead,” according to the President.

In a Saturday Truth Social announcement, Trump claimed regional governments had reached the “perimeters of a deal” providing for the immediate and complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a guarantee of no nuclear weapons development on the part of Iran. He said Israel had joined his commitment to pursue the agreement and that the attack would remain canceled only if a deal could be completed rapidly.

California Wealth Tax

California Democrats buck Newsom and Becerra with vote to endorse billionaire wealth tax

California's Democratic Party resolutions committee voted to recommend endorsing a one-time 5% tax on the state's roughly 200 billionaires, defying both outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom and gubernatorial nominee Xavier Becerra, who oppose the measure.

The committee's Saturday vote puts Proposition 40, formally titled the California 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, one step closer to an official party endorsement ahead of the November 3 ballot.

But the recommendation is not final. Full endorsement requires at least 60% of delegates to approve it during Sunday's general session, where delegates could also vote to take no position, a move that needs only a simple majority, or pull the recommendation for a separate floor debate.

Either way, the committee's action exposes a sharp rift inside California's ruling party over how far Sacramento should go in taxing its wealthiest residents, and whether doing so would protect state programs or simply chase money across state lines.

Possible criminal wrongdoing by the COVID doctor

'Maybe he's not immune'

Brand-new push for special counsel probe into Anthony Fauci who 'led this cover-up'

The saga of the COVID doctor who was 'drunk with power, drunk with pride, drunk with his own celebrity' may not be over just yet ...

A U.S. senator and trained physician who sat behind Anthony Fauci during his appearance before Congress last week is pushing for a special counsel to probe possible criminal wrongdoing by the COVID doctor despite a pardon from former President Joe Biden.

Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, said, "I think there is evidence that should be investigated, but this would take a special counsel."

"Twenty million Americans still have long COVID, including one of my loved ones, so those people deserve answers as well. This is why I'm calling for a special counsel," Marshall explained.

"We need to get this out of Washington, get the politics out of it and then go back and build this case: that Anthony Fauci for over 20 years funded gain-of-function research, then he led this cover-up as well. Then we got to get into the autopen pardon."

"Maybe he's not immune from what he said in the past. Look, this guy's slick. He's lawyered up. I don't know that we can throw him in jail over this, but I think that certainly a special counsel needs to get a hold of this. There's no way we can address this in one morning hearing in Congress."

President Donald Trump has canceled a planned massive attack against Iran "for the future benefit of the WORLD … subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL."

The commander in chief posted on Truth Social late Saturday night: "The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II.

Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.

"Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. [WND]

TPS on Somali nationals blocked by Leftest Judge

Rep. Andy Ogles moves to impeach federal judge who blocked Trump's TPS decision on Somali nationals

A Tennessee Republican congressman says he will file articles of impeachment against the federal judge who blocked President Trump from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis, accusing her of defying the Supreme Court.

Rep. Andy Ogles announced on Friday that he plans to introduce the impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, who issued a ruling preventing the Trump administration from terminating TPS protections for Somali nationals.

Ogles, in a statement provided to Just the News, framed the move as a direct response to what he called Burroughs' refusal to follow Supreme Court precedent on the issue.

The congressman did not hold back. He accused the Obama-appointed judge of substituting her own preferences for settled law and acting to undermine the president's authority over immigration policy.

Federal judges serve lifetime appointments precisely so they can rule without fear of political retaliation. But that independence was never meant to be a license to override the elected branches on questions the Constitution assigns to them.

DNC, the Party that wants your Trust, got scammed

Ken Martin Had Been DNC Chairman Four Days When a Scammer Robbed Him Blind

The DNC just mortgaged its own headquarters to stay afloat.

Then a stranger sent one email and walked off with $29,000 of donor money.

Find out what the party that wants to run your country couldn't figure out before they wired the cash. The Con Was So Simple It's Embarrassing. That email pretended to be Ken Martin – who had taken over as DNC chairman just days before the fraud hit.

A staffer read it and wired $28,860.92 to a stranger. The DNC caught the mistake within minutes, called Wells Fargo, and scrambled to claw back what they could. They recovered $7,000. The other $21,860 vanished.

That staffer no longer works for the DNC.
