#10 What’s Really Happening with Mpox - David Bell for The Brownstone Institute, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Dr. Debra Faushay, and Weather Monitors on X
The World Health Organization (WHO) acted as expected this week and declared Mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). So, a problem in a small number of African countries that has killed about the same number of people this year as die every four hours from tuberculosis has come to dominate international headlines. This is raising a lot of angst from some circles against the WHO. While angst is warranted, it is mostly misdirected. The WHO and the IHR emergency committee they convened had little real power – they are simply following a script written by their sponsors. The African CDC, which declared an emergency a day earlier, is in a similar position. Mpox is a real disease and needs local and proportionate solutions. But the problem it is highlighting is much bigger than Mpox or the WHO, and understanding this is essential if we are to fix it...

Two victims have been recovered, and two suspects are in custody after a sex trafficking bust at a local motel. On Monday, special agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), alongside the San Antonio Police Department, responded to a social media post advertising sex for a fee at a motel on San Pedro Blvd. The two victims, ultimately identified as undocumented Venezuelans, were discovered at the location by an undercover officer...
#8 RFK Jr. Considering Dropping Out to ‘Join Forces’ With Trump, Former Prez ‘Open’ to Giving Him a Role - Victor Nava for The New York Post, Polymarket, Dr. Kenneth Warner, AJ Huber, and AK Kamara on X
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering dropping out of the 2024 race to “join forces” with former President Donald Trump, his running mate revealed Tuesday. Shortly after the revelation, Trump declared that he would be “certainly” open to giving the Kennedy scion a post in his administration. “There’s two options that we’re looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Nicole Shanahan, the independent candidate’s vice presidential pick, said during an appearance on the “Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu” podcast. The other option?
#7 Will Democrats Repeat the Fraud of 2020? - Matt Kane for American Thinker, MSGeeVeeius
A plot to steal the 2024 election from President Trump is well underway, and not just by suppressing information online or dragging Trump through the court system. Those are instances of throwing anything and everything at the wall, hoping something sticks, but not the master plan. The real plots have a much more direct impact on the election results rather than just swaying voter perception. We know this because those behind these plots are openly revealing them...
#6 Biden DOJ Goes To Bat For Trump In Case Involving Clearing BLM Protesters Outside White House - Wallace White for The Daily Caller, Badlands Media, and Slygirl on X
The Biden Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it will cover potential damages for former President Donald Trump in a lawsuit against the clearing of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters outside the White House in 2020, according to court filings released Monday. James Touhey Jr., director of the Torts Branch in the civil division of the DOJ, wrote in the filing that Trump is entitled to the DOJ’s financial support for damages in a civil lawsuit filed in 2020 that alleges he violated the rights of BLM protesters by supposedly using the National Guard and D.C. police, equipped with tear gas and riot gear, to forcibly clear Lafayette Square in order to take photos in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church. In 2020, Democrats widely criticized and blamed Trump for the events of the day, with Vice President Kamala Harris saying in June of that year on X that Trump “tear-gassed peaceful protesters,” with an investigation later revealing that Trump did not directly order law enforcement to disperse the protesters...
#5 Democrats Demand ID To Get Into Their Convention But Not To Vote For President - Brianna Lyman for The Federalist, I'm Triggered, Amuse, Patriot Politics Research, and Trump Fraud 17 on X
The Biden-Harris administration has called voter photo identification laws “burdensome” and “unnecessary.” The administration has let hundreds of thousands of unvetted illegal immigrants pour across the border with no questions asked about who they are. But the administration’s political party has implemented identification requirements for anyone who wants to attend the Democratic National Convention (DNC). Individuals seeking to get into the DNC must show proof of identity “for security screening” to pass through a security perimeter and physical barriers, NewsNation reported. In fact, Chicagoans who live in the “areas around the United Center and McCormick Place” where roads will be closed for the convention “will still be able to go in and out of their homes” but they are only “allowed guests as long as those guests have photo ID.”#4 Utah Sues Federal Government for Control of Public Lands - Rachel Frazin for The Hill, Utah Attorney General, Mike Schultz, GovCox on X
The state of Utah sued the federal government Tuesday in an attempt to gain control of millions of acres of public lands. The state is seeking a transfer of 18.5 million acres — about a third of the state’s total area — from the federal government. “Utah deserves priority when it comes to managing its land,” Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said during a press conference. “It’s been a tragedy to see what this administration and past administrations have done to our land, closing down roads that have been open for generations. Places where people went to recreate, to spend time with their families, are no longer accessible,” he added...
#3 Matt Gaetz Survives Revenge Primary Amid Kevin McCarthy Feud - Brianna Herlihy for Fox News, Matt Gaetz, George, and Nick Sortor on X
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz survived a primary challenge Tuesday backed by his nemesis, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy spent $3 million on Aaron Dimmock's campaign against Gaetz. Dimmock is a former Navy aviator and director of the Missouri Leadership Academy. Last year, Gaetz led a group of eight Republicans to oust McCarthy from the speakership with the help of Democratic members, spawning a feud between the two...
#2 U. Illinois Has 42 “Illegal” Race-, Sex-Based Scholarships: Federal Complaint - Tyler Durden ZeroHedge, and William A Jacobson on X
It identifies 19 scholarships that discriminate on the basis of sex in violation of Title IX. “Eight scholarships are offered exclusively to female students, eight state a preference for female students, two are offered exclusively to male students, and one states a preference for male students,” the complaint states. Another 19 scholarships discriminate on the basis of race, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to the federal complaint. The complaint states: These 19 scholarships are all offered exclusively or with a stated preference for various groups based on race, color, or national origin including students from underrepresented populations, students who are historically underrepresented, students from minority groups, and students from various ethnic groups or national origins including Czech, Lithuanian, Japanese, Latina/Latino, Iranian...
#1 Left-Wing Dark Money Group Faces House Investigation Over Illegal Immigrant Voting Concerns - Gabe Kaminsky for Washington Examiner, Insurrection Barbie on X
A little-known nonprofit group behind a sprawling voter registration effort ahead of the 2024 election is facing congressional scrutiny over concerns about noncitizen voting, according to a letter. On Tuesday, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) sent the letter to Vot-ER, a charity that a Washington Examiner investigation revealed is funded by left-wing dark money groups and partnered with public health centers to register patients to vote. The congressman addressed the letter to Vot-ER director Aliya Bhatia, a left-wing activist, and CEO Judith Faulkner of Epic Systems, a healthcare software company reportedly linked to Vot-ER’s activities.
