The Very Special Counsel is, get this, using judicial process to spy on Trump's communications.

AGAIN.

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins

The special counsel investigating Trump secured a search warrant for his Twitter account in Jan. 2023, according to a new court filing. Twitter was barred from telling Trump about it & the company was fined $350k because it delayed producing the records. (But ultimately did.)

As Twitchy notes, anytime there's movement on the Biden Crime Family, the Very Special Counsel indicts Trump on fresh nonsense or else links something New and Shiny to a reliable media pimp outfit. CNN, this time. They like leaking to CNN an awful lot.

I'm not sure why. CNN languishes in third place. Kaitlin Collins was promoted to the 9pm slot, and her ratings are atrocious -- they stink like Megan Rapinoe's jockstrap. She getting less than one quarter of what brokedown Sean Hannity gets, less than one third of what Conspiracy Kween Rachel Maddow gets.

One of the Green Energy Swindle Companies favored by the Biden Administration for pouring Hunter Biden levels of graft into just went bankrupt.

From the NY Post:

President Biden frequently extolled an electric vehicle company -- in which his energy secretary heavily invested -- before it declared bankruptcy on Monday.

Bay Area-based electric bus and battery maker Proterra filed for Chapter 11, with CEO Gareth Joyce citing "various market and macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted our ability to efficiently scale."

The EV firm, which sold more than 1,300 electric buses to public transit systems in the US and Canada, was valued at $1.6 billion when Biden, 80, took office in January 2021 -- but closed with a market value of $362 million, according to Reuters.

In 2021, the president pledged more than $10 billion from his $1.9 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan toward zero-emission transit and school bus programs

You won't be surprised that Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm just happened to get all of her money out of the stocks (of a company she regulates) just before the news that it was going bust! Made a tidy profit, too, while others lost their shirts!

How is it that a class of people who are objectively on the low side of average intelligence are consistently such Batman-level geniuses when it comes to just-in-time purchases and just-in-time sales of volatile stocks?

Is it just "luck," like Hillary Clinton's amazing run with cattle futures was?

Or could it be that there are unacknowledged bribes from industry -- in the form of colossally valuable just-in-time information -- involved?

The House revealed that Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, and Kazakh oligarchs sent over $20 million to Biden's Friends and Family Graft Plan.

Politico thought the big takeaway here was that no one had proven a "direct payment to Biden" yet. Just all of his family members.

A White House spinner also thought this was big news. (Politico probably included the claim about "no direct payment yet" at her request.)

So Politico and the Biden White House are taking the position that if Kazakh oligarchs buy Hunter a Porsche just before Biden agrees to sit down to dinner with them, or if Biden's young grandchildren are getting Mystery Emoluments from Russian gangsters, that's no big deal, and has nothing to do with Biden.

First: "Joe never discussed business w/Hunter"

Then: "Joe never talked w/Hunter's business partners"

Next: "Joe never discussed business w/Hunter's business partners"

Now: "You can't prove the $20mm going through 20 different Biden shell companies was actually paid to Joe"

@redsteeze

There's no proof the guy who sleeps at the WH and rides on AF1 gave any of this money to his father.

What a huge win for Team Biden and Team Media.

Politico has now deleted that tweet. Not sure if it was from embarrassment, or if they thought the part mentioning the $20 million going to the Biden family was too negative for the Media Party's candidate for president.

DeSantis suspended another George Soros-backed woke prosecutor who was undermining the rule of law.

Florida's Voice @FLVoiceNews

DOCUMENTS: Gov. Ron DeSantis' office lists rationale for suspending Soros-backed Democratic State Attorney Monique Worrell

"The practices and policies of her office have allowed murderers, other violent offenders, and dangerous drug traffickers to receive extremely reduced sentences and escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct."

Where's his blustery tweet about it? Where's his promise to Drain the Swamp without actually draining the swamp?

It's so boring that he just does what he says and doesn't just rant and rave about all the things he's fixin' to get to doin', one day, maybe.

Here's DeSantis calmly announcing he is suspending her and replacing her with a real prosecutor. He is the first politician ever to remove a Soros prosecutor.

Obvious DeSantis is "owned" by "the corporate establishment." Unlike Donald Trump, who gets his great hiring advice from steel-spined conservatives like Chris Christie and Lindsey Graham.

A 7-Eleven is driving homeless bums away by blasting Toto's "Africa" over its external loudspeakers 24 hours per day.

That's racist.

Megan Fox says "her body aches" due to the "weight of men's sins."

Oh and she's a poet now.

Get ready for Megan Fox, the poet.

The debut poetry collection by the "Jennifer's Body" actress titled "Pretty Boys are Poisonous," is set for release in November. Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, will publish.

According to the official synopsis, Fox "shows fans her wicked humor through a heartbreaking and dark collection of poetry. Over the course of 80+ poems Fox chronicles all the ways in which we fit ourselves into the shape of the ones we love, even if it means losing ourselves in the process."

In a statement Fox said, "These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I've spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins.

Weird way to say you've had more Dick in you than a Nick-at-Night Bewitched marathon, but okay.

Is Obama secretly pulling the strings of the decrepit puppet Biden? Yes of course and it's barely a secret.

[Tablet's David] Samuels wrote that while the legacy media have generally portrayed Obama as somewhat aloof from the politics of today and uninterested in power, the former president and his most loyal lieutenants are heavily involved in directing the federal government and politics in general.

The Obamas never left the nation's capital. "Instead, they bought a large brick mansion in the center of Washington's Kalorama neighborhood--violating a norm governing the transfer of presidential power, which has been breached only once in post-Civil War American history, by Woodrow Wilson, who couldn't physically be moved after suffering a series of debilitating strokes," Samuels wrote.

The excuse the Obamas gave for staying in Washington was that their daughter Sasha was still in high school, and they wanted her to finish her education at the posh Sidwell Friends private school. But Sasha has since left for college, but the Obamas stayed in Washington.

Samuels wrote that it's clear that their decision to stay was not just a "personal matter." Instead, Obama remained to orchestrate resistance to his successor, President Donald Trump, and to continue the work he'd been doing while in office.

To an extent that has never been meaningfully reported on, the Obamas served as both the symbolic and practical heads of the Democratic Party shadow government that 'resisted' Trump--another phenomenon that defied prior norms.

The fact that these were not normal times could be adduced by even a passing glance at the front pages of the country's daily newspapers, which were filled with claims that the 2016 election had been 'stolen' by Russia and that Trump was a Russian agent.

The Tablet piece paints a picture of a former president pulling the strings to orchestrate the federal government's domestic and foreign policies, with Biden reduced to being a "Weekend at Bernie's"-like puppet.

"When Obama turned up at the White House, staffers and the press crowded around him, leaving President Biden talking to the drapes--which is not a metaphor, but a real thing that happened," Samuels wrote.

...

Obama once dismissed the idea of American exceptionalism. Thanks to him, maybe that's closer to being true.

O'Keefe Media Group @OKeefeMedia

DISCRIMINATION: A Citizen Journalist has revealed Best Buy is partnering with McKinsey & Company on a Management Training Program.

The program is not open to white applicants. “Candidates must meet the [racial] requirements below”

Any comment @BestBuy?

Whites need not apply:

McKinsey is the WEF-adjacent goonshow that elevated Mayor Butt to his current level of well-credentialed hypermediocrity.

Maybe it's time to bring these scumbags down with very pricey lawsuits and juries eager to mete out "Statement Awards" to plaintiffs.

The "Gold Star Families" of servicemen killed in Biden's unplanned, chaotic pullout in Afghanistan testified before Congress, reporting that Biden lied to their faces.

Did you not hear about it? Neither did I.

CNN and MSNBC and all the networks, including State Media NPR, didn't want you to hear about it. They didn't cover it at all.

Police aren't investigating the serial thief who brazenly robbed a 7-Eleven three times in one day -- while the police did nothing -- but they are investigating the owner who beat the thief down when he refused to lay down the stolen goods, and also flashed what looked like a knife.

The previous two armed robberies, executed on the same day:

Police said that on July 28 at 3:41 a.m., a 7-Eleven worker reported the suspect going behind the counter and threatening to shoot the clerk if he intervened. The suspect then took several packs of cigarettes in a large garbage bag before fleeing.

On July 29 at 12:27 a.m., a 7-Eleven worker reported the suspect demanding money at the store while simulating that he had a handgun. When the worker didn't comply, the suspect grabbed food items and put them in a garbage bag before leaving, police said.

For the third one, they demanded he stop looting their store. He refused, and attempted to bull his way through them.

The third time the guy grabbed a trash can and started to fill it up with merchandise in front of the workers. He flashed his knife and proceeded to fill up the trash can. The two workers then took action.

He F*cked Around, and then he Found Out.

So now the police are investigating "the assault."

Stockton police said witness video of the July 29 robbery and assault has now linked all the investigations.

They said that after their investigation concludes, they will forward the findings to the San Joaquin County district attorney for review.

In blue jurisdictions, the police are just the state-assigned bodyguards and enforcers of looters, rioters, thieves, thugs, and killers.

Next step? The police will hold women down so that homeless psychopaths can more efficiently rape them.

Flee.
