Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 In advance of Monday’s hearing on Jack Smith’s latest proposed partial gag order on Trump, the special counsel last night filed another hyperbolic brief filled with unsubstantiated claims of bodily threats to law enforcement in docs case. Note how Smith says “this Court.” He thinks Cannon won’t know about the similar gag order he sought (and received) from Judge Chutkan in DC. In that proposal, he asked Chutkan to ban Trump from publicly criticizing HIM and others in special counsel’s office.

Airport whistleblowers have alleged that Hezbollah is storing large quantities of Iranian weapons, missiles, and explosives at Beirut's main civilian airport, according to the Telegraph. Among the weapons allegedly stored at Rafic Hariri International Airport are Iranian-made Falaq artillery rockets, Fateh-110 and M-600 short-range missiles, and road-mobile ballistic missiles with ranges exceeding 150 miles. The whistleblowers also claim the presence of AT-14 Kornet anti-tank guided missiles, Burkan short-range ballistic missiles, and RDX explosives. An airport worker expressed fears about the potential consequences of an attack or explosion at the airport, drawing comparisons to the devastating 2020 Beirut port blast. "Beirut...

A fire at a battery storage facility in Otay Mesa is out — but the stubborn nature of the blaze has sparked opposition from some residents about the relative safety of at least three other battery projects that developers want to build in other parts of San Diego County. Renewable energy supporters say battery facilities are essential to meet California’s goals to develop a carbon-free electric grid. State policymakers and battery companies say the risk of future fires will decrease over time, counting on technological improvements in battery chemistries and better designs at the facilities housing the batteries. “My hope...

The only synagogue in the city of Derbent in Russia is on fire following a deadly and coordinated terrorist attack that also included several other targets in the restive state of Dagestan. “The synagogue is on fire,” the official news service of the State of Dagestan said in an update about Sunday’s attack, which authorities say is the work of jihadist extremists. Two people, both security officers, are dead as a result of the attack in Derbent, Interfax reports. Footage of the burning synagogue published on Carmel News, a Telegram channel, shows tall flames completely engulfing the redbrick building of...

When a candidate runs on character, you know his record can’t be good. Hence President Biden’s reported $50 million spend on an ad titled “Character Matters,” which features unflattering photos of Donald Trump while focusing on the Republican nominee’s legal troubles. Hey, we paid good taxpayer money engineering those court cases and we’re not going to waste it. “Going negative,” as they say in politics, worked for Biden before. He was on the ticket in 2012 when Barack Obama became the first modern president to win reelection with fewer votes than he received the first time. And Trump gives the...

A New York Post article in June reported that welfare offices and other government agencies in 49 states were providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship. Of course, this is complete lawlessness, and it is being facilitated by government officials. Illegal aliens have no rights at all to vote in US elections. Elon Musk weighed in on this corrupt practice earlier today. Elon Musk: Another “conspiracy theory” turns out to be true.

When Code Pink protesters demonstrated outside of Jake Tapper's house, calling his coverage of the Israel-Hamas war "negligent" and "pathetic," Tapper's teenage children responded by waving and playing "The Star-Spangled Banner." Video of the incident shows protesters with the activist group Code Pink using megaphones outside of Tapper's D.C. home last week. At least one demonstrator wore a keffiyeh, an Arab headscarf that has become associated with Palestinians. The protesters accused Tapper, who is Jewish, of spreading "Israeli propaganda," and expressed anger that he refused to call Israel's military actions in Gaza a "genocide." Tapper's children, Jack, 14, and Alice,...

Charlamagne tha God predicted Friday that the presidential debate is going to be bad for President Biden and suggested that muted microphones might not work to the president's advantage. The rules for the Thursday debate between Biden and former President Trump include muted microphones outside their speaking time, no live audience, no pre-written notes and no consulting with campaign aides during breaks. "Do you not want Trump to be interrupted?" Charlamagne asked, referencing the rules of the debate. "You're thinking about it one way, you’re just going to let Trump go, and you can’t jump in, and you 80-plus years...

They're fabulous.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg suffered a meltdown on ABC’s “The View” while discussing the new Ten Commandments law in Louisiana. Louisiana’s new law mandates that all public school classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities, display the Ten Commandments. On Thursday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” Goldberg raged about the law after it was passed this week. Goldberg argued that if people wanted their children to see the Ten Commandments on the wall, they should “send them to a religious school.” Get out of my school!” Goldberg yelled. “You’re telling me you’re concerned about children learning things — one of the things...

Floodwaters forced people out of their homes in parts of Iowa, the result of weeks of rain, while much of the United States longed for relief Saturday from yet another round of extraordinary heat. Sirens blared at 2 a.m. in Rock Valley, Iowa, population 4,200, where people in hundreds of homes were told to get out as the Rock River could no longer take rain that has slammed the region. The city lacked running water because wells were unusable. Mayor Kevin Van Otterloo said a state helicopter was on its way to help but was called off when boats were...

A 750ft cargo ship has sunk in the Red Sea days after Yemen's Houthi rebels said they launched a blistering drone attack on the vessel, reportedly killing one mariner on board. Dramatic footage released by the group shows the moment a barrage of rockets slammed into the MV Tutor, with a direct hit triggering a huge explosion after striking the centre of the defenceless coal carrier. It would be the second ship sunk as part of the rebels' campaign targeting Red Sea shipping after the Rubymar, which was carrying more than 41,000 tonnes of fertiliser, went down in March around...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Fox News Sunday” that President Joe Biden could be criminally prosecuted for the murder of nursing student Laken Riley if the Supreme Court does not rule there is presidential immunity. Graham said, “The border is beyond broken. You have wars in Ukraine. You have the Mideast on fire. When it comes to enforcing the law, Joe Biden has been beyond reckless. He’s taken a parole statute that’s limited in nature and has given a million people parole when, on average, the Trump and [Obama] administrations gave 5,600 people parole....

In the world of modern dating, where endless swiping on apps often leads to frustration, people are turning to unconventional methods to find true love. One such person is Vera Dijkmans, who took a unique approach by having potential suitors complete a 15-question quiz to see if they met her high standards. The influencer, from the Netherlands, received an overwhelming 5,000 applications from hopeful men eager to win her heart.

.... Those responsible for orchestrating the massive amounts of election fraud we witnessed in the 2020 election to ensure Donald Trump doesn't get a second term have all been given a get-out-of-jail-free card by every institution established to prevent and remedy election crimes, which by-the-way, are SERIOUS FELONIES. Despite the IN-YOUR-FACE THEFT when states abruptly stopped counting late at night so they could stuff fraudulent Biden ballots into the count. So far, nothing of consequence has been done about it. Every state legislature, even those with Republican majorities, certified the fraudulent election results. Not one court would hear any case...

When California native David Klein moved to the quiet city of Gallatin, Tennessee, 25 years ago, he did so to escape the chaos of West Coast urbanization. Now, he says, it feels like it is 'chasing' him. Since the pandemic, an influx of outsiders from the Golden State and elsewhere have turned a once tranquil community into an overcrowded 'hell'.

Taylor Swift fans have complained about not being able to see the stage during her Wembley show despite paying up to £700 for tickets. The megastar is in the midst of her first London leg of the Eras Tour - but fans who attended Saturday's show have expressed their frustrations. Some people raged as they revealed they had paid up to £700 for 'unobstructed' tickets yet ended up barely able to see the stage.
