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.

Two women, two sets of allegations, one congressman

Stephanie Grisham seeks restraining order against Rep. Max Miller as abuse allegations mount

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham has filed a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller, adding another legal front to a sprawling domestic abuse saga that now threatens the Ohio Republican's political future.

Grisham, who briefly dated Miller during the first Trump administration, filed the order in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, accusing the congressman of breaching a 2023 settlement agreement that included a nondisclosure provision barring disparaging public comments.

The filing follows Miller's decision to post on X on May 7, publicly claiming Grisham had fabricated her abuse allegations against him, a move her attorneys say destroyed the "contractual benefit of peace and finality" the settlement was designed to protect.

The restraining order is the latest in a widening circle of legal and personal crises surrounding Miller. His ex-wife, Emily Moreno, the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), has separately alleged in court filings and police reports that Miller shoved her, dumped scalding water on her that left burn marks, and held a gun to her head. She is now seeking full custody of their two-year-old daughter.

Grisham first raised abuse claims in her 2021 memoir, "I'll Take Your Questions Now," writing that an ex-boyfriend, later identified as Miller, had physically abused her during their relationship. Politico reported at the time that Miller pushed Grisham against a wall and slapped her.

Miller denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit against her in Cuyahoga County, claiming she acted with "actual malice" to harm him, retaliate against the Trump administration, and boost book sales. A judge denied Miller's request for an immediate restraining order in that case.

Emily Moreno, Senator Bernie Moreno's daughter, is now the second woman to accuse Miller of domestic violence, and she has sought her own restraining order against him. Miller was married to Moreno’s daughter, Emily Moreno, from 2022 until their divorce was finalized in 2025.

Trump Takes the Trophy at Bedminster

Donald Trump Shot a 70 at 80 Years Old and the Media Absolutely Lost Their Minds

The left-wing media spent six months writing that Donald Trump was too old and too frail to function as President.

He just shot a 70 on a championship golf course and trash-talked every member of his own club. And what he said to his doubters on Truth Social afterward is exactly why they will never, ever beat him.

On Saturday, President Trump entered the annual club championship at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey – one of the most demanding layouts in the country.

The Tom Fazio-designed course has hosted the U.S. Women's Open and multiple LIV Golf events, with water carries, deep bunkers, and enough rough to punish anyone who isn't striking the ball cleanly.

Trump shot a 70. That's 2-under par on a course where most recreational golfers would be thrilled to break 90. Trump called his competitors "talentless."

Democratic Socialists of America behind AOC for President

Democratic Socialists rally behind AOC for 2028 presidential bid after Mamdani's New York City victory

Members of the Democratic Socialists of America are openly pushing to endorse Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for president in 2028, emboldened by a string of far-left primary wins, even as early polling shows her trailing badly in her own ideological lane.

At the DSA's national convention in Chicago, the organization held a closed-door meeting to establish a formal process for potentially endorsing the New York congresswoman's White House bid, the Daily Mail reported.

The move comes on the heels of Zohran Mamdani's election as mayor of New York City, a result DSA members now treat as proof that their political model can scale far beyond safe progressive districts.

The organization's confidence is not baseless. Beyond Mamdani's mayoral win, Ocasio-Cortez-endorsed candidates Analilia Mejia and Adam Hamawy won Congressional races in New Jersey. In Michigan, AOC backed Abdul El-Sayed in a Senate primary. Frances Gill, a Los Angeles-based DSA member, told the Washington Post that the organization's every move is now oriented around 2028.

Islamist wins Democrat Primary in Michigan

El-Sayed wins Michigan Senate primary

CatholicVote warns of ‘radical socialist policies’

The progressive candidate defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens and will face Republican Mike Rogers after a campaign marked by El-Sayed’s alliance with socialist streamer Hasan Piker and controversial positions on immigration, abortion, and America’s founding.

Abdul El-Sayed campaigned with radical streamer Hasan Piker, who praised Chairman Mao and said America deserved 9/11. “Bishop Robert Barron has warned Catholics about this new wave of Democratic Socialist candidates who are essentially communist. 

Catholic voters in Michigan must reject Abdul El-Sayed’s radical socialist policies and elect Mike Rogers to the Senate this November.”

Rogers secured the Republican nomination without opposition. The two candidates, Mike Rogers and Islamist Abdul El-Sayed are competing to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in a battleground-state race expected to play a significant role in determining control of the Senate.

Brilliant Satire! Why don’t they just cut out the middleman and start identifying as “Election Winners and New Overlords”?

The Lenin bit works because it exposes the oldest trick in the revolutionary book: change the label, keep the program.

Communist becomes democratic socialist. Abolition becomes reform. Terror becomes justice. Borderlessness becomes compassion. Anti-Americanism becomes patriotism. Jew-hatred becomes liberation. 

Lenin does not need to return from the grave in a trench coat. His language already lives in the mouths of America’s activist class.

Lenin Says “I’m Not a Communist, I’m a Democratic Socialist.” [Daniel Jupp. A contributing editor at Country Squire magazine]

Nick Shirley chased by Illegal in Ceuta

Nick Shirley Reports Being Attacked and Chased With a Knife in Ceuta

Independent journalist and YouTuber Nick Shirley says he was attacked while reporting in Ceuta, Spain. The account describes a violent confrontation in which he was allegedly chased with a knife and struck by stones.

Shirley is known for publishing on-the-ground videos and reporting outside traditional news organizations. His work often focuses on immigration, border security, and communities affected by large population movements. He has built an audience by visiting locations where he believes major outlets have not fully shown what is happening.

The incident, as described in the supplied report, occurred in Ceuta. The Spanish city sits on the North African coast and is surrounded by Morocco. Because of its location, Ceuta has long been a major point of focus in debates about illegal immigration, border enforcement, and Europe’s migration policies.

The report does not provide a police statement, medical information, or details about whether anyone was arrested. It also does not include a full account of what led to the confrontation. Those details would be important for independently confirming the sequence of events and identifying the people involved.

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.

Sunset 8-3-26

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.

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.'"
