Polls Show Majority Of Americans Support Voter ID– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

As the SAVE America Act stalls in the Senate, new polls show that an overwhelming majority of voters across both parties are largely in favor of supporting required voter ID laws.

Seemingly every day there are more reports about noncitizens participating in U.S. elections and undermining the integrity of America’s voting system. Senate Majority Leader John Thune also continues to clash with President Donald Trump, refusing to overturn the now four-month-long blockade of the SAVE Act in the upper chamber.

A recently published poll by Tea Party Patriots Action indicated over 80 percent of likely voters say that only U.S. citizens should vote in federal elections, while another poll conducted by Fox News found that over 80 percent of voters think that a photo ID should be required to register to vote.

The data released from TPPA surveyed 1,000 general election voters and was conducted by McLaughlin & Associates on July 22, 2026. John McLaughlin, strategic consultant and pollster, surveyed people nationwide who are “likely to vote,” and divided respondents evenly between “people who support Trump and people who don’t,” according to TPPA Chairman Jenny Beth Martin.

Fauci Diary Entry Reveals He Suffered Common COVID Vax Injury Five Months After Getting Jab › American Greatness– amgreatness.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci suffered a pulmonary infarction in June 2021—five months after he received his first COVID shot, his newly released diary reveals.

A pulmonary infarction occurs when part of the lung tissue dies because blood flow through the pulmonary arteries is blocked, usually by a blood clot originating from a deep vein thrombosis, that travels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

This information was made public for the first time through the release of Fauci’s private diary entries.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released Fauci’s private diary entries over the weekend, allowing the public to scrutinize his day-to-day activities during the early days of the COVID-19 crisis. The bombshell diary entries reveal his arrogance, duplicity and preoccupation with fame and adoration as infections rose.

During an appearance on Fox New’s “Ingraham Angle” Monday night, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. commented on the new revelation about Fauci’s June 2021 medical emergency.

“[Fauci] got vaccinated at a very, very public press conference in January of 2020 and then five months later…he had a pulmonary infarction—which is one of the adverse events NIH, CDC and FDA said are expected from the vaccine. He never told anybody,” Kennedy told host Laura Ingraham. “He got treated for it privately by the best doctors in America at the same time he was telling everybody that that was not an adverse event,” the HHS Secretary added.

Breaking: US Launches Airstrikes in Iran, Saudi Arabia Joins in as Iran Is Pushed to ‘Tipping Point’– www.westernjournal.com

EXCERPT:

A new round of fighting emerging in Iran this week brought a new player that could change the game entirely.

U.S. forces launched new airstrikes against Iran on Wednesday, U.S. Central Command announced, while earlier, and for the first time, the Saudi Arabian military joined with the U.S. in striking Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, The Associated Press reported.

And, according to Fox News, a former deputy CENTCOM commander said those developments and others could signify Iran being pushed to a “tipping point.”

U.S. Central Command issued a statement Tuesday on the social media platform X announcing the attacks with the Saudis targeted “Iran-aligned terrorists that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed to attack U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.”

The action also came hours after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had launched missile attacks against a U.S. military base in the region. The missiles were all shot down.

According to Fox, retired Navy Vice Adm. Robert Harward, a retired SEAL and former deputy CENTCOM commander, said the development means “you’re seeing the pressure build on Iran on all fronts.”

EXCERPT:

Before Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment at a Senate hearing after the release of his diaries from the pandemic, Wednesday’s Morning Joe gave a preview of the hearing where 8 AM host Jonathan Lemire defended Fauci and called much of it “taken out of context.”

Lemire also minimized the possible Chinese lab origins of COVID-19 and possible U.S. funding of gain-of-function labs, which he called “unproven.”

Just as the Senate hearing was set to begin, Lemire introduced the hearing as “Fauci is expected to face some tough questions about the origins of COVID-19 and the federal government’s response to the virus.”

The MS NOW host then detailed released pages of Fauci’s diary and focused on his talk of a “newfound celebrity status”:

This comes just days after Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)released more than 1000 pages of Fauci’s diary entries from the early months of the pandemic. In some of the entries, Fauci does reveal how much he enjoyed his newfound celebrity status, calling it “flattering.” (…)

Federal Agents Arrest Over 900 Suspected Human Traffickers During World Cup Operations, 180 Victims Rescued– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:

Federal agents arrested 905 suspected human traffickers and rescued 180 victims, including 30 children, during a sweeping law enforcement operation tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday.

The arrests were carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

They worked in coordination with the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking and federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.

The operations targeted trafficking networks operating in World Cup host cities across the United States.

In a statement, DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said:

“While Americans and international visitors were enjoying the FIFA World Cup, the men and women of ICE law enforcement were hard at work cracking down on human trafficking operations in FIFA host cities across the country.

“Federal law enforcement arrested more than 900 suspects and rescued nearly 200 victims.

“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, we are dismantling human trafficking networks.”

Zohran Mamdani calls for reparations because of what he claims was NYC’s alleged role in slavery– www.louderwithcrowder.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

New York City is supposedly studying reparations. It is unclear what needs to be studied, considering no one alive today was a slave, nor was anyone alive today a slave owner. Nonetheless, that won’t stop Mayor Zohran Mamdani from not ruling out handing over cash to people who were never victims, all paid for by people who never committed these crimes.

When Mamdani was asked if he supports reparations if a commission recommended it, he failed to rule it out and clarified he believes, “in New York City, we were very complicit” when it comes to slavery, and that paying people who were never slaves may need to be done to “acknowledge what history truly was.”

I do not have to tell you why this is an asinine idea, but for a city that continues to face massive budget deficits and needs assistance from the Gov. to bail itself out, the last thing these people should be doing is paying people based on skin color.

Question: What about White people who are descendants of slaves? Will they also be getting a paycheck for never being a victim?

While I am no legal expert, this does not seem to be what you would call “legal.” Not only do they want to punish and reward people based on ancestral crimes, but they are engaging in a whole other level of evil to make the premise be about skin color.

Anti-ICE Mayor of St Paul Under Investigation For Sexually Harassing Police Chief With ‘Weiner Wednesday’ Text › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:

The anti-ICE Democrat mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, is reportedly under investigation for alleged sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct toward St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry and city employees, following a formal complaint filed by Henry.

Mayor Kaohly Her (DFL) is accused of sexually harassing Henry in one instance with an obscene text message.

In a letter to the city attorney on April 1, Henry’s attorney Chris Madel stated that “litigation is reasonably foreseeable.”

Madel alleged in the letter that Her’s conduct “extended beyond isolated incidents” and included harassment of subordinate city employees and members of the St. Paul Police Department.

Specific allegations cited in the complaint include a text message referencing “Weiner Wednesday,” a police department tradition, which contained a sexually suggestive meme and caption involving a photoshopped image of a security officer.

In the letter, Madel called on the city attorney to “take all steps necessary to perform a full filesystem extraction” of Her’s phones.

Meanwhile, Henry has participated in at least two extensive interviews with investigators, 5 Eyewitness News reported.

Madel told 5 Eyewitness News in a statement, “Chief Henry just closed a triple-homicide case in under four hours. He’s got a city to keep safe and has no comment on this.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused state Rep. James Talarico (D-TX), his Democratic Senate rival, of election fraud after a report alleged that Talarico registered to vote at his mother’s Austin address shortly before filing to run for a Texas House seat.

The Federalist reported that Talarico registered at the address in December 2021, days before the candidate filing deadline, as he prepared to campaign in a newly drawn district where he had not previously lived.

EXCERPT:

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci bears direct responsibility for approving taxpayer funding of experiments at the University of Pittsburgh that grafted scalps from aborted babies onto the backs of laboratory rats, pro-life investigators charged Tuesday.

The research, published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2020, used full-thickness skin from the scalps of babies aborted at 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy—roughly five months gestation—to create “humanized” mice and rats for studying the human immune system. Photographs accompanying the study show the grafted tissue growing tufts of fine baby hair on the animals.

Federal records confirm that Fauci’s NIAID provided approximately $430,000 in grants to the University of Pittsburgh researchers in 2018 and 2019 for the project. Additional NIH support was also listed.

RINOs Are Banking On Iran War To Drive MAGA Into Extinction– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

It is inarguable that the war in Iran is a massive drag on Donald Trump’s numbers, as well as those of the Republican Party heading into November. This is largely driven by consistently high gas prices, which also drive up the price of everything else.

Trump obviously knows this, which is why he’s been searching for an off-ramp for months. He knows he was elected to get gas prices down and the economy in shape (which he did until the war jammed up the gears).

But a major problem for Trump’s presidency right now is that nearly everyone outside his inner circle pushing for this war — and this includes the entirety of so-called conservative pundits who never found a war they weren’t willing to make others fight and pay for — also hates Trump (and especially J.D. Vance) and sees the war’s negative effect on his popularity as a secondary benefit of the war they’ve been salivating over for decades. To them, his declining numbers are a feature, not a bug.

With the Iran war, the NeverTrump neocons have gotten everything they ever dreamed of — war (which they love), and a massive political quagmire for Trump that threatens to consume the rest of his presidency and destroy any future political chances of J.D. Vance and the entire MAGA/America First movement.

A DNC official was only able to recover $7,000 of the $29,000 payment.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) lost nearly $29,000 to an email scammer who was posing as Ken Martin, the DNC’s chairman. The thief was able to scam the cash-strapped DNC out of the funds last year, according to reporting first done by NOTUS.

An unknown party was able to send the fraudulent email to a staffer at the DNC in February 2025, an official told the outlet. The email claimed to be Martin, and the staffer, who no longer works for the DNC, sent the $29,000.

The DNC official was able to catch the error minutes later, but was only able to recover $7,000 of the $29,000 payment. The fraudster was able to pull off the heist as the DNC is facing a crunch for cash and has now put its own building in Washington, DC up as collateral to get a $15 million line of credit.

The DNC admitted to what it referred to as a “misdisbursement of Committee funds” in a letter from August 2025 to the FEC, saying that the incident was caused by “the result of fraudulent activity by an external third party.”

The DNC told the agency that it would take “further steps to avoid similar events in the future.”

EXCERPT:

The top U.S. commander in the Middle East is warning American troops that their own cellphone videos could help Iran kill U.S. service members.

Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command, issued the stark warning in a July 28 letter as the military moves to crack down on troops posting footage from bases targeted by Iranian missiles and drones.

Cooper said Iran is watching videos, photos and news reports in near real time to figure out whether its strikes are hitting American positions.

Personnel deployed across the Middle East could soon be ordered to surrender their phones, according to Reuters, even as thousands of troops rely on mobile devices to communicate with spouses, children and other family members back home.

‘The direct, unavoidable cost of this open-source intelligence could be measured in the lives of ​American service members and civilian residents in targeted Gulf countries,’ Cooper wrote to the troops in letter dated July 28.

The warning comes as U.S. forces remain under pressure across the region following the collapse of President Donald Trump’s ceasefire with Iran.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch believes America is merely a set of ideas. But when it comes to explaining where those ideas came from, he apparently has no idea.

In an interview with PBS’ Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, Gorsuch rejected the fact that the United States was founded as a Christian nation.

“We have a First Amendment, for crying out loud. No established religion,” Gorsuch said to defend the position that the country’s founding did not rest on a single religion.

“We were never supposed to be a nation that was about one race or one religion,” Gorsuch said, seemingly unaware of Federalist Paper No. 2 by John Jay. “It was about those ideas.”

The “ideas” referenced by Gorsuch are equality, individual rights, and self-government, ideas he points out were enshrined in our founding documents.

Dems must win 57 out of 77 competitive House seats to take majority– www.washingtonexaminer.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Democrats’ path to retaking the House in November has significantly slimmed as a result of the mid-decade redistricting war this cycle, a new analysis found.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report found that under the newly drawn maps across 10 states, the number of “competitive” swing seats has dropped from 87 to 77. For Democrats to win control of the House, the party would need to win at least 57 of the 77 seats.

The Cook Political Report’s elections analysis defines competitive seats as districts that either party won in the past two presidential election cycles by 5 points or less. Under the old lines, Democrats would have needed to win 59 of the 87 competitive seats.

Republicans are expected to gain eight seats due to mid-decade redistricting, while Democrats could have a net gain of two. The redistricting fight began this cycle in Texas after President Donald Trump urged the state legislature to redraw its state lines to be more favorable to Republicans.

US, Gulf Allies Launch Strikes On Iranian Proxies Following ‘Surprise’ Attack On US Base– trendingpoliticsnews.com

EXCERPT:

The United States and Saudi Arabia on Tuesday evening conducted joint precision airstrikes targeting Iran-backed militias in Eastern Iraq. The strikes follow a “surprise” missile attack on a U.S. base in Jordan earlier in the day.

According to a statement from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), U.S. and Saudi fighter aircraft struck multiple logistics and weapons sites. CENTCOM described the targets as belonging to Iran-aligned groups that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had directed to carry out attacks on U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.

Tuesday’s operation was launched in response to more than 30 IRGC-directed aerial drone attacks over the preceding 72 hours. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense stated that its air defenses had intercepted and destroyed several drones launched from Iraqi territory that targeted petroleum facilities in the Eastern Province and Riyadh regions.

Saudi Arabia’s statement framed the strikes as precise and targeted actions against objectives linked to those attacks, conducted in coordination with CENTCOM, and emphasized the kingdom’s right to self-defense while stating it does not seek escalation.

Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), an umbrella organization that includes Iran-backed groups integrated into Iraq’s security structure, reported that the strikes hit headquarters and facilities in multiple locations, including Baghdad and sites in other provinces. The PMF said at least 20 of its members were killed and 32 wounded, with damage to buildings and facilities.

Since Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released on Saturday nearly 2,000 pages of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diaries that delivered one bombshell after another about how he handled the coronavirus pandemic, ABC and NBC had yet to say a word on the leading morning or evening shows. However, that changed Wednesday morning with stories explaining away his behavior ahead of what became an explosive Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing.

ABC’s Good Morning America only mustered a partial segment tallying 89 seconds, starting with co-host Robin Roberts announcing Fauci was “set to testify on Capitol Hill” for “a grilling by longtime critic Senator Rand Paul over his role in handling the COVID pandemic.”

D.C.-based correspondent Jay O’Brien also said it’d “be a fiery hearing” with Paul going after “Fauci, 85-years-old, once the nation’s top infectious disease expert who retired in 2022.”

He added Paul has “accused Fauci of everything from misleading the COVID — mishandling the COVID response, to misleading the public about COVID’s origins, to even lying to Congress, all of which Fauci strenuously denies” with his attorney calling Paul’s behavior a “years-long public crusade.”

Incredibly, O’Brien seemed to cast doubt on the veracity of the diaries: “Ahead of this hearing, Paul releasing more than one thousand pages worth of what he says are diary excerpts that Fauci wrote in the early days of the pandemic.”

Catholic Nuns Take On New York’s ‘Coercive’ Assisted Suicide Law– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Not a week seems to pass in which religious Americans are all but forced to go to court to defend their First Amendment rights from government overreach. It now appears the latest incident of this dynamic is coming full circle in Democrat-run New York.

On July 20, several orders of Catholic nuns and Catholic health care ministries sued the Empire State for enacting a new medically assisted suicide law they allege requires them to violate their religious faith. With the new statute set to take effect on Aug. 5, the Catholic plaintiffs in Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm v. James are seeking immediate relief in federal court to halt the state’s efforts to “coerce” them and other religious providers into forgoing their beliefs.

“Our clients have been dedicated for over 100 years each to serving some of New York’s most vulnerable citizens, and there are patients who actively seek them out. They actively seek them out because they share the same beliefs, they want to die in accordance with those beliefs, and New York is taking away their ability to do that,” Becket — Religious Liberty for All counsel Laura Slavis, whose group is representing the nuns and ministries, told The Federalist.

Signed into law earlier this year, New York’s Medical Aid in Dying Act (MAID) grants terminally ill adults the ability to request that their physician administer life-ending drugs. The statute lays out the process by which patients may do so, as well as the form language they must use when filing such a request.

In their lawsuit, the Catholic nuns and health care ministries argue that MAID — “which builds upon requirements in the [New York’s] Palliative Care Information Act” — “conscript[s] even religious healthcare providers and institutions to participate in the provision of physician-assisted suicide.” They claim that, under these statutes, “medical providers caring for terminally ill New Yorkers will have to proactively inform and counsel their patients about their ‘option’ to kill themselves.”

Anthony Fauci’s diary musing about dinners with famed journalists during the COVID-19 lockdowns evoked memories of neighbors who couldn’t have guests at their child’s funeral, or attend the birth of their grandchildren, or buy seeds at a local garden center.

Those narcissistic entries about his towering fame reminded me of local children who were barred from attending high school with their friends, couldn’t have proper graduations, or start college on time, many of whose lives were needlessly thrown off course forever.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s document dump of the diary entries and emails of former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases accentuates what we already knew about Fauci. Though his fans portrayed him as a saintly public health official merely sharing advice and evolving science with decision-makers, Fauci was a self-serving authoritarian operator who relied on fearmongering, coaxing, and lying to manipulate the behavior of hundreds of millions of Americans.

On Feb. 8, 2020, for example, Fauci acknowledged privately that after speaking with former CDC Director Tom Frieden, he believed COVID’s fatality rate was likely at 0.2-0.3% not 2%, and “acting like a bad influenza.”

The Marxist-Islamist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has just released what appears to be a de facto proscription list for his foreign-paid street fighters to target. He released a list of property owners, including their names and addresses, who own another home outside the city.

Mamdani Doxxes NYC Property Owners, Quietly Expands Reach of New Tax– legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:

 

New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani is facing widespread criticism after his administration on Monday published a searchable database identifying wealthy property owners who may be subject to the city’s pied-à-terre tax. The administration says the database is intended to promote transparency. Critics, however, argue it effectively “doxxes” property owners by making them easier to identify and locate, unnecessarily exposing them to harassment, vandalism, and even potential acts of violence.

Mamdani is also drawing criticism for including properties valued between $1 million and $5 million in the database, despite repeatedly promoting the pied-à-terre tax as applying only to properties worth $5 million or more. As it turns out, that was part of the plan — which I’ll return to shortly.

The Department of Finance’s online database allows anyone to search properties and access the names and addresses of owners whose non-primary residences could be affected by the proposed tax.

A Department of Finance spokesperson told Fox News that state law required the publication of the property assessment roll: “As per State law, a property roll was released for public inspection. From this list, DOF will identify properties that may be subject to the new non-primary residence property surcharge.”

It’s true that property records have long been public. Even so, aggregating the city’s most expensive properties into a single, searchable database that anyone can access strikes me as dangerous. There’s no shortage of bad actors who could exploit such a list for nefarious purposes, from political targeting to criminal activity.

The New York Post editorial board called the database Mamdani’s “enemies of the people” list and asked why no one at City Hall stopped this “amateur-hour idiocy?”

Because the Democratic Socialist crew is obsessed with naming and shaming their “class enemies”: As national DSA co-chair Megan Romer explained on Fox News Sunday, “We will win by making conditions so intolerable to the ruling class that they would rather give in to our demands than live with the disturbance we cause.”

A new bill has been introduced in Britian that will legalize euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide. The bill is the same as the one that failed in 2024. This is just the latest effort to legalize the creation of a suicide industry that eventually enables the state to nudge economic liabilities towards death.

The following message was sent out by Not Dead Yet UK:

By now you’ll know that the assisted dying bill is back.

On 17 June, Labour MP Lauren Edwards introduced a new version of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. MPs will vote on whether it should proceed at its second reading on 11 September 2026. That’s less than two months away.

So what’s new?Honestly? Not much.

This is the same bill Kim Leadbeater brought forward in 2024 — the one that spent months being picked apart in the House of Lords, generating more than 1,300 amendments before running out of time in April. The bill fell not because it was defeated, but because Parliament was prorogued. Now it’s back, with two minor Lords amendments incorporated.

The first is a technical Wales amendment. Because delivering health services is devolved to the Welsh Government, the bill now requires the Senedd to give its approval before Welsh Ministers can set up the regulations for assisted dying in Wales. It’s a constitutional housekeeping change. It doesn’t alter what the bill actually does.

The second concerns people with eating disorders. This one is more serious. During the Lords debates earlier this year, peers raised concerns that someone with anorexia could potentially stop eating — deliberately — in order to reach the six-month terminal threshold and qualify for an assisted death. A minor amendment was added in the Lords to address this. But experts who work with people with eating disorders say it doesn’t go far enough. The loophole, they argue, remains. We agree.

The CEO of Cracker Barrel that decided to redesign the franchise for modern audiences has been fired. As the CEO, Missy Masino implemented a “modern audiences” change to Cracker Barrel that was soon cancelled after major pushback from the public. Now, she has been officially fired as CEO, replaced by David Deno.

Hooray! After trying to remediate Julie Masino, including lessening her responsibilities, Cracker Barrel has announced a new CEO. Interestingly, the outgoing Julie will retain an advisory role until only October 9, which is not long at all (often, CEOs who step down to “spend more time with family” consult for longer periods, perhaps even transitioning to the board).

As I type, the stock is marginally down, but that’s because the incoming CEO, David Deno, will clean house. The cracked company needs to be resealed. A deep, purifying purge could be disruptive for short-term traders, but mandatory to roll out the splendidly refurbished old Barrel.

Missy Masino missed the mark. Her Woke focus on logos and store decors undermined the traditional appeal and charm of Southern comfort foods. Ruining such an established, highly-valued brand is unforgivable in and of itself, even if the menu retained its gastronomical delights.

It did not!  More like gastronomical frights, with service that slights.

In fact, the quality of food and service deteriorated while Julie obsessed about asserting her own unneeded and unwelcoming embellishments. Just look at this wannabee chicken and dumplings meal that degenerated into slop before hitting the table. Given a choice in side-by-side bowls, my old dog would probably have gone for his dry kibbles rather than that gunk — and he wasn’t a food snob.
