DeSantis Chief Offers $11M to Corporate Media To Stop Writing About Him.

Jeff Roe – the top establishment strategist advising Ron DeSantis’s ‘Never Back Down PAC’ – bemoaned the scrutiny of his operation, offering media start-up Puck $11 million to stop writing about him in what turned into a breakdown on social media on Thursday evening.

Roe, who runs the embattled “Axiom Strategies” which just tightened its grip on the DeSantis operation, responded to a tweet from reporter Tara Palmeri who announced Puck had just raised $10M for an expansion of its news operations. Roe shot back: “I’ll buy in for $11M if my name isn’t in your publication again” – a bizarre inducement to the media to stop reporting on his activities.

Roe’s angry outburst drew the attention of Chris LaCivita, senior advisor to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. LaCivita jabbed Roe over Never Back Down ineffective support for the DeSantis campaign.

LaCivita appeared to have struck a nerve with Roe, whose Axiom Strategies – and its subsidiaries – have seen nearly 50 percent of Never Back Down’s campaign spending reach its company accounts. Roe responded with what can only be described as a bizarre series of posts, escalating in anger:

Jeff Roe, considered a “heavyweight” in Missouri politics, drew harsh criticism and condemnation from the likes of former U.S. Senator Jack Danforth for producing a controversial radio ad that is alleged to have played a role in the 2015 suicide of gubernatorial candidate Tom Schweich.

Pessimism Spreads in Ukraine Army: ‘It’s Too Depressing’.

Pessimism is spreading amongst Ukrainian troops and officials as the number of casualties continues to grow and the nation’s “spring counter-offensive” grinds to a halt. Ukrainian soldiers are now openly expressing their despondency and disappointment with how the war is going.

Ruslan Proekter – a Ukrainian soldier who lost his leg and suffered several other injuries after stepping on a Russian mine – admitted in an interview with The Washington Post that he would not volunteer to fight in the war a second time. “They’re taking everyone and sending them to the front line without proper preparation,” Proekter explained before adding: “I don’t want to be in the company of unmotivated people.”

Another interviewee, Alla Blyzniuk, lamented the casualty rates and the loss of local men to the front: “The defenders of our country should be professionals,” she said. “I’m really sad,” she added. “We Ukrainians did not deserve this destiny.”

“It’s too depressing,” said Viktor, a wounded soldier, detailing how it took his unit seven hours to move one quarter of a mile.

“Our expectations were higher. If [the counter offensive is] going on, it’s going slow,” explained Yulia Paltseva, a receptionist in Kyiv.

“It is such a hard price for freedom,” said an Estonian Ukrainian soldier who goes by the call sign Suzie, “I never saw so much blood before.”

U.S. diplomats admitted earlier this week that the counteroffensive is “extremely unlikely” to make progress as Ukraine’s army has repeatedly failed to break through Russia’s heavily-fortified defense structures. Meanwhile, Joe Biden demanded yet another aid package of around $25 billion announced on Thursday.

BREAKING: Biden AG Names ‘Sweetheart Deal’ Special Counsel in Hunter Case.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has been named Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel in the Department of Justice’s ongoing investigation of President Joe Biden’s son and alleged business partner, Hunter Biden. Weiss has already been overseeing the DOJ probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings since 2019.

The DOJ order elevating Weiss to special counsel will allow him to “… conduct the ongoing investigation described above, as well as any matters that arose from that investigation or may arise… ” as well as  “…prosecute federal crimes in any federal judicial district arising from the investigation of these matters.” Attorney General Garland told members of the press that he was informed by Weiss that “…in his judgment, his investigation has reached a stage at which he should continue his work as Special Counsel and he asked to be so appointed.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), blasted Attorney General Garland’s appointment of Weiss as special counsel, stating:

This is part of the DOJ’s efforts to attempt a Biden family coverup in light of our Committee’s mounting evidence of President Joe Biden’s role in his family’s schemes selling “the brand” for millions of dollars to foreign nationals.

The Justice Department’s misconduct and politicization in the Biden criminal investigation already allowed the statute of limitations to run with respect to egregious felonies committed by Hunter Biden. Justice Department officials refused to follow evidence that could have led to Joe Biden, tipped off the Biden transition team and Hunter Biden’s lawyers about planned interviews and searches, and attempted to sneakily place Hunter Biden on the path to a sweetheart plea deal.

Let’s be clear what today’s move is really about. The Biden Justice Department is trying to stonewall congressional oversight as we have presented evidence to the American people about the Biden family’s corruption.

Recently, Weiss and the DOJ came under intense scrutiny from U.S. district judge Maryellen Noreika for what critics argued was a sweetheart plea deal for President Biden’s son, Hunter – a crack-cocaine addict suspected of abusing the public trust along with his father in order enrich themselves and other members of the Biden family. Judge Noreika rejected the proposed language and after an attempt to renegotiate the agreement failed, Hunter Biden entered a plea of “Not Guilty” in the federal district court.

In addition to the sweetheart plea deal, Weiss has also received criticism for his proximity to allies of President Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Alexander Mackler, a long time friend and associate of Hunter Biden, worked as a prosecutor under Weiss in Delaware U.S. Attorney’s office during the earliest stages of the Biden probe. In texts between the two, Mackler would often refer to Hunter Biden as “buddy” or “brother”.

Trump Now LEADS Biden While ‘More Electable’ DeSantis Would Get BEATEN.

Donald Trump leads Joe Biden by 41 percent to 34 percent (a seven point margin) in new national polling from Premise, while the supposedly “more electable” Ron DeSantis is trailing the octogenarian Democrat by 31 percent to 32 percent.

The poll surveyed 1,726 Americans in the first week of August, and found that Trump also beats DeSantis in a head-to-head by 66% to 25%.

If Biden were ruled out of the race, respondents said Kamala Harris should likely take the Democrat nomination (21%), with Hillary Clinton close behind on 15 percent. A further 14 percent chose Bernie Sanders, with 10 percent picking California Governor Gavin Newsom, meaning DeSantis is due to debate the 5th place pick.

NEW: ‘Keep Politics Out of This’ Says BLM-Backing, Obama Donor Judge Overseeing Trump’s DC Case.

Tanya Sue Chutkan, the Black Lives Matter-supporting, Obama donor judge overseeing Donald J. Trump’s January 6th trial says she wants to keep politics out of the proceedings.

The foreign-born federal judge made the remarks during the protective order hearing at a Washington D.C. court on Friday as Donald Trump’s lawyers requested the right to share trial evidence publicly:

“Mr Trump, like every American, has a first amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute… I intend to keep politics out of this.”

Chutkan also denied Trump’s request to allow independently sourced evidence to be excluded from the protective order, telling the former President’s legal team that only publicly available records will be exempt, using the Department of Justice’s suggestions.

The case involves more than 11.6 million pages of files against the former President, according to Special counsel prosecutor, Thomas Windom, with most of the “discovery production” being complete by August 28.

Trump has attempted to move the proceedings from Washington D.C. to West Virginia due to the city’s overwhelming support for the Democrats and even demanded the recusal of Chutkan, yet this failed to materialize.

Southwest Airlines Bullied a Christian Employee, Then The Media Attacked The Trump Judge Who Penalized Them.

The Washington Post is attacking the Trump-appointed justice Brantley Starr, who penalized Southwest Airlines for firing a Christian conservative, referring to it as an ‘extremist’ ruling that promoted a right-wing ‘reeducation program.’

U.S. District Judge Starr awarded former Southwest Airlines employee Charlene Carter $5 million after she was unfairly dismissed for speaking out against the company and its employees’ position on abortion and the Washington D.C. “women’s march.”

Her behavior was called “inappropriate, harassing, and offensive” and “crossed the boundaries of acceptable behavior” by the airline, and she was summarily fired.

Justice Starr found the decision violated her rights under federal law and discriminated against her as a result of her religious beliefs. He then ordered that three lawyers representing Southwest undergo “religious-liberty training” at the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) to ensure that they understand the importance of “preserving free speech and religious freedom.”

The decision has been met with fury by the media, calling it “outrageous, unconstitutional and an abuse of judicial authority.” The Post, continued:

“[T]he notion of subjecting lawyers to a reeducation campaign by the likes of the ADF is tantamount to creating a government-endorsed thought police.”

The newspaper went on the suggest that former President Donald Trump is somehow responsible for the decision, stating: “This is the alarming legacy that former president Donald Trump has left us — a skewed bench that he would augment if reelected.”

The case is now being appealed by Southwest Airlines, which routinely celebrates “gay pride” and openly supports Planned Parenthood.

Federal Grand Jury Seated in Texas, Hearing Witnesses Against TX AG Ken Paxton.

A federal grand jury has been seated by federal prosecutors in San Antonio, Texas to review evidence and witness testimony against embattled conservative Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Last week it was revealed that Paxton was the subject of an ongoing federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for his involvement with Texas real estate developer, Nate Paul – also the target of a federal investigation.

Despite the media leaks revealing that prosecutors were bringing witnesses to testify to the grand jury, Paxton’s legal team has been unable to confirm that this is in fact the case. Dan Cogdell, Paxton’s attorney said, “All I know is that no one from either the DOJ or the U.S. Attorney’s Office has been able to answer my most basic questions about any possible ongoing investigation regarding Ken.”

Paxton was impeached by the Texas House of Representatives and suspended from office this past May after an exceptionally nasty and public conflict with powerful Republican legislative leaders in the state. They accused Paxton of accepting bribes from Paul among other illegal acts while servings as Texas Attorney General. The Texas State Senate will convene on September 5th to determine whether or not to remove Paxton from office. The removal vote will require a two-thirds vote of the Texas State Senate’s 31 members.

In the aftermath of his suspension from office Paxton raised $1.7 million in just two-weeks, something his team called it a “personal post-session fundraising record”, indicating that the conservative firebrand still has strong grassroots support in the state – a fact that could play a critical role in whether the State Senate decides to move forward with removing him from office.

UK Healthcare Waiting List Breaks Record, Now Over 7.6 million.

More than 7.6 million people in the United Kingdom – around 12 percent of the total population – are waiting to receive routine hospital treatment from the country’s socialized healthcare system, the National Health Service (NHS), representing the highest figure since records began in 2007 and increasing by another 100,000 since May.

Just under 400,000 people have been on the NHS waiting list for more than a year, around 7,000 people have been waiting for treatment for over 18 months, and more than 20,000 have waited longer than two months (62 days) for urgent cancer screenings, according to data released by NHS England.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunk made cutting the NHS backlog a core priority of his government at the beginning of the year, announcing “lists will fall and people will get the care they need more quickly,” but this has so far failed to materialize. The NHS has even considered an AI rollout to help shorten the backlog.

The waiting list looks set to grow as thousands of the NHS’ junior doctors and nurses will continue to strike. Junior doctors working for the British Medical Association (BMA) will begin another set to strike on Friday, August 11, until August 15.

The “latest figures paint a grim picture… For the sake of patients, it is imperative that all parties get around the table to resolve this issue,” stated Siva Anandaciva, chief analyst at health think tank The King’s Fund.

Police Raid Blows Lid Off Extensive 2020 Michigan Voter Fraud.

Newly revealed police reports have exposed evidence of extensive voter fraud in Michigan – and perhaps other swing states as well – perpetrated by an organization tied to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Michigan law enforcement launched an investigative task force after a Muskegon city clerk observed a woman, about a month before the 2020 general election, drop off upwards of 10,000 suspected fraudulent voter registrations. The registrations appeared to all have the same handwriting, with some also having non-existent addresses listed for the supposed voter.

Over the course of their investigation, Michigan law enforcement raided the offices of GBI Strategies – an organization found to be the employer of the woman who had originally produced the completed voter registrations to the clerk. The raid revealed a stockpile of semiautomatic weapons, pre-paid cash cards, burner phones, and additional voter registration forms. Despite the raid, no arrests were made and the investigation was turned over to the FBI where it appears to have been buried without further action.

Trump warned of Michigan voter fraud ahead of 2020 election.

GBI Strategies is a Tennessee-based campaign group with deep ties to Democratic campaigns and committees, including Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. In 2020, the organization received $2,117,605 in payments from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee as a vendor; as well as $1,031,856 from the DNC Services Corporation, $493,100 from the Democratic Party of Iowa, and $450,000 from Biden for President. GBI Strategies appears to have worked on voter outreach and registration drives for Democrat candidates across the country, raising concerns that other incidents of widespread fraud may exist outside Michigan.

Trump is Taking DeSantis’s Own Florida Colleagues to Iowa With Him.

On Saturday, former President Donald Trump will head to the Iowa State Fair with nine members of the Florida Congressional delegation who have endorsed him over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Representatives Byron Donalds, Matt Gaetz, Cory Mills, Anna Paulina Luna, Greg Steube, Gus Bilirakis, Carlos Gimenez, Brian Mast, and Mike Waltz will all accompany Trump throughout the day.

The Trump campaign intends to deliver a message to Iowa voters that even in DeSantis’s home state of Florida, Republican leaders prefer Trump to DeSantis for the Republican presidential nomination. Ron DeSantis will also be in attendance at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday.

One stop President Trump will not be making is Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds’s ‘fire side chat’ event with various Republican presidential candidates. Reynolds has come under increasing criticism from Trump for her displays of public favoritism towards Ron DeSantis despite a long standing tradition of Iowa’s Republican governors remaining neutral in Republican presidential primary contests in the state. Reynolds has insisted she will not endorse a candidate during the primary, but has publicly fawned over DeSantis for months, leading to him floating her as a Vice Presidential pick in front of a crowd of tens.

An additional event to keep an-eye-on on Saturday will be the Iowa State Fair Straw Poll. The Iowa Secretary of State will be conducting an unofficial straw poll of fair-goers – the event being a semi-replacement for the defunct Iowa Straw Poll last held in Ames Iowa in 2011.
