New York is rife with crime and instability. In July, a bodega worker had to defend himself against a knife-wielding attacker. Things are so bad in NYC the worker is returning to his native Dominican Republic.
At a campaign rally, a man armed with a knife jumped on stage and attacked New York Republican nominee for governor Rep. Lee Zeldin. Author Salman Rushdie was stabbed in the neck at a recent appearance in the City.

Steven D’Antuono just keeps falling upward.
D’Antuono was the head of the FBI’s Detroit field office as the bureau was investigating a supposed kidnapping attempt against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
As Just the News notes, trial testimony alleges the “plot” wasn’t just investigated but instigated by the FBI, with the jury hearing that the bureau’s informants gave drugs to those who were eventually charged in the plot before recording their conversations and sometimes outnumbered “plotters” during meetings.

Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky. told far left Meet the Press on Sunday that voters in his state don’t care about the 2020 election.
Barr added that voters in his state are also not interested in the House investigation into January 6th. They are too busy dealing with inflation fallout and the opioid crisis.
Rep. Barr: “Not once have any of my constituents… talked about the 2020 election… Politicians who obsess about the past are not in touch.”
So is this the new strategy by the GOP? To lump the horrific Jan. 6 trials to the stolen 2020 election? And then insist voters don’t care about election fraud.

The Paycheck Protection Program created to help small businesses survive the pandemic by doling out loans to help them retain employees has been a bonanza for companies linked to the rich and famous, according to new reports.
The website ProPublica has amassed a searchable database of the loans, which media outlets have been exploring to find out how many rich recipients will never have to pay back a dime.
The trick is to know the corporate names of businesses in which the rich and famous either operate or have a share in.

NPR’s “Morning Edition” ran the results of a poll the outlet conducted with research outfit Ipsos on respondents’ perceptions of immigration. More than half (53 percent) believe it is either wholly or partially true that there is an “invasion” occurring at the Southwest border, while support for immigration is falling and a border “wall” is becoming more popular. That poll also reveals the toll “Biden’s Border Fiasco” is inflicting on Americans’ support for immigration.
“Invasion”. That poll was conducted between July 28 and 29, surveying 1,116 U.S. adults. As Ipsos described its findings, “most” Americans are “buying into the idea of ‘invasion’ at the southern border”, itself a form of “spin”. When was the last time that you heard a polling outfit talk about how many citizens are “buying into the idea” of a second Biden presidency, for example?
That said, 28 percent of respondents believe that it’s “completely true” that an invasion is occurring at the border, including 51 percent of Republicans, 24 percent of independents, and 12 percent of Democrats.
An additional 25 percent of respondents opined that it was “somewhat true” that there is an invasion at the U.S.-Mexico line. Most troubling for the administration, that includes 29 percent of Democrats, as well as 25 percent of Republicans and 23 percent of independents.
Nineteen percent of respondents dismissed the idea of an invasion as “completely false”, with Democrats leading the way at 34 percent, independents next at 18 percent, and Republicans at 8 percent. Twenty-seven percent “don’t know”: 36 percent of independents, 25 percent of Democrats, and 16 percent of Republicans.
The midterm congressional elections are less than 90 days away, so this spells trouble for the president and his fellow partisans, and an opportunity for the GOP (if they were willing to seize it).

Sunday Talks, David Laufman Says Congress Has No Right to Oversight Over DOJ National Security Division, All Political Weaponization by Main Justice NSD is Above the Law
August 21, 2022 | sundance | 326 Comments
The all too familiar David Laufman says it out loud, but few will pay attention. “That’s what this is. It- just because [the DOJ-NSD justification for the raid on Trump] implicates classified information to me, doesn’t seem to give a platform for the House Intelligence Committee to intrude at this time,” Laufman says.
In theaftermath of 9-11 the U.S. government created the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct surveillance of “domestic threats,” the American people. When Barack Obama and Eric Holder stepped in a few years later, they created the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). This division specializes in weaponizing surveillance against their political enemies. The DOJ-NSD had no inspector general oversight and operates within Main Justice, but above the law. Essentially, they use the justification of ‘national security‘ to defend the Fourth Branch of Government, the permanent surveillance state. {Go Deep}

Liz Cheney’s Latest Grift Targets Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley
By Bonchie | Aug 22, 2022 11:00 AM ET
Sometimes you witness a grift that is so brazen that all you can do is respect the hustle. That’s where I’m at with Liz Cheney. Yeah, she’s a ridiculous person playing out a petty feud to the detriment of the nation, ignoring a multitude of issues that actually affect everyday Americans in her pursuit to get the orange man. But man was her transition from electoral defeat to scamming donors seamless.
It’s almost like she’s had lots of practice at being a Washington swamp creature, so engrained in the beltway cocktail circuit that it just comes naturally. This is a woman who had her campaign website rerouted to a donation page for her new scam PAC before her defeat was even finalized.
Cheney isn’t going to just go after Donald Trump, though. She’s going to help get Democrats elected, and she’s also being specific in her targets. Namely, she’s really upset at Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley.

Provide Ukraine Excess US Air Force F-15s and F-16s…Now
Nuclear armed aggressor nations, such as China and Russia, cannot be allowed to invade neighboring sovereign democracies using conventional forces unchecked. The best way to deter these aggressor nations, both Russia and China, is to arm the democracies with conventional forces capable of defending themselves or making the cost of invasion too costly for the aggressor nations in total terms.
We are now arming Ukraine with more and more defensive weapons for its army to defeat Russia: Javelin anti- tank, Stinger anti-aircraft, Switchblade suicide drones, M777 155mm Howitzers with Excalibur precision guided weapons, as well as offensive weapons such as Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) that can strike deep into the occupied territories. We are arming Ukrainian naval forces with Harpoon anti-ship missiles, as well as 18 Mark VI patrol boats to protect their coastline from the Russian navy. As we look to the future

Pfizer and BioNTech Submit Application to U.S. FDA for Emergency Use Authorization of Omicron BA.4/BA.5-Adapted Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine
Data support request for Emergency Use Authorization of a 30-µg booster dose of an Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 12 years of age and older
Companies have rapidly scaled production and stand ready to deliver doses of Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccines for September, and will begin shipping immediately pending authorization
Rolling submission for Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccine to be completed with the European Medicines Agency in the coming days
Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX) today announced they have completed a submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of a booster dose of an Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 12 years of age and older. The application follows guidance from the FDA to include clinical data from the companies’ bivalent Omicron BA.1-adapted vaccine and pre-clinical and manufacturing data from the companies’ bivalent Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted vaccine to address the continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2. Pending authorization, the Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccine will be available to ship immediately.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220822005376/en/
A conditional marketing authorization application has also been initiated with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccine and is expected to be completed in the coming days.
“The agility of the mRNA platform, together with extensive clinical experience with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, has allowed us to develop, test and manufacture updated, high-quality vaccines that align to circulating strains with unprecedented speed,” said Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Pfizer. “Having rapidly scaled up production, we are positioned to immediately begin distribution of the bivalent Omicron BA.4/BA.5 boosters, if authorized, to help protect individuals and families as we prepare for potential fall and winter surges.”
“Given the ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, it’s of great importance that vaccines can be rapidly adapted to the major circulating Omicron lineages,” said Prof. Ugur Sahin, M.D., CEO and Co-founder of BioNTech. “In less than three months after the FDA provided its guidance for adapted vaccines in the U.S., we are ready to ship the first doses of our Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccine, pending regulatory authorization, to provide people in the U.S. with the possibility to get a booster adapted to the currently most dominant strain of the virus.”
The bivalent vaccine contains mRNA encoding the original SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is present in the original Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, together with mRNA encoding the spike protein of the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 variant. Pre-clinical data showed a booster dose of Pfizer and BioNTech’s Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccine generated a strong neutralizing antibody response against Omicron BA.1, BA.2 and BA.4/BA.5 variants, as well as the original wild-type strain. A clinical study investigating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the Omicron BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccine in individuals 12 years of age and older is expected to start this month.
The companies previously announced safety, tolerability and immunogenicity data from a Phase 2/3 trial of a 30-µg booster dose of their Omicron BA.1-adapted bivalent vaccine candidate, which combines the existing vaccine and a vaccine targeting the Omicron BA.1 variant spike protein. The Omicron BA.1-adapted bivalent vaccine elicited a superior immune response against the Omicron BA.1 variant compared to the companies’ current COVID-19 vaccine. The Omicron BA.1-adapted bivalent vaccine was well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile.
Following guidance from the EMA and International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA), Pfizer and BioNTech submitted an application for the Omicron BA.1-adapted bivalent COVID-19 vaccine in July.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, which is based on BioNTech’s proprietary mRNA technology, was developed by both BioNTech and Pfizer. BioNTech is the Marketing Authorization Holder for BNT162b2 (Comirnaty®) in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, and the holder of emergency use authorizations or equivalents in the United States (jointly with Pfizer) and other countries. Submissions to pursue regulatory approvals in those countries where emergency use authorizations or equivalent were initially granted are planned.

INTERCHANGEABILITY
FDA-approved COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine FDA authorized for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for individuals 12 years of age and older can be used interchangeably by a vaccination provider when prepared according to their respective instructions for use.
The formulation of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine authorized for use in individuals 6 months through 4 years of age, 5 through 11 years of age, and 12 years of age and older are different and should therefore not be used interchangeably.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Tell your vaccination provider about all of the vaccine recipient’s medical conditions, including if the vaccine recipient:
has any allergies
has had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart)
has a fever
has a bleeding disorder or is on a blood thinner
is immunocompromised or are on a medicine that affects the immune system
is pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding
has received another COVID-19 vaccine
has ever fainted in association with an injection
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) may not protect all vaccine recipients
The vaccine recipient should not receive Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) if the vaccine recipient has had a severe allergic reaction to any of its ingredients or had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or COMIRNATY®
There is a remote chance that Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to 1 hour after getting a dose of the vaccine. For this reason, your vaccination provider may ask you to stay at the place where the vaccine was administered for monitoring after vaccination. If the vaccine recipient experiences a severe allergic reaction, call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest hospital
Seek medical attention right away if the vaccine recipient has any of the following symptoms: difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, a fast heartbeat, a bad rash all over the body, dizziness, and weakness
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received the vaccine, more commonly in males under 40 years of age than among females and older males. In most of these people, symptoms began within a few days following receipt of the second dose of the vaccine. The chance of having this occur is very low
Seek medical attention right away if the vaccine recipient has any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine, particularly during the 2 weeks after receiving a vaccine dose:
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart
Fainting
Unusual and persistent irritability
Unusual and persistent poor feeding
Unusual and persistent fatigue or lack of energy
Persistent vomiting
Persistent pain in the abdomen
Unusual and persistent cool, pale skin
Fainting can happen after getting injectable vaccines, including Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA). Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your vaccination provider may ask the vaccine recipient to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine
Some people with weakened immune systems may have reduced immune responses to Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA)
Additional side effects include rash, itching, hives, swelling of the face, injection site pain, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, fever, injection site swelling, injection site redness, nausea, feeling unwell, swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), decreased appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, arm pain, and fainting in association with injection of the vaccine and irritability
These may not be all the possible side effects of the vaccine. Call the vaccination provider or healthcare provider about bothersome side effects or side effects that do not go away.
You should always ask your healthcare providers for medical advice about adverse events. Report vaccine side effects to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The VAERS toll-free number is 1?800?822?7967 or report online to http://www.vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html . You can also report side effects to Pfizer Inc. at http://www.pfizersafetyreporting.com or by calling 1-800-438-1985

CBC – Moderna to supply 12M doses of Omicron-targeted COVID shot to Canada
Social Sharing
Federal government has received bivalent vaccine applications from both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech
Moderna will supply 12 million doses of its COVID-19 shot adapted to target the Omicron variant of the coronavirus to Canada, the company said on Monday.
The federal government had entered into a deal with the company last year for supply of its COVID-19 vaccine for 2022 and 2023, with the contract allowing access to new vaccine adaptations, company officials said.
Moderna and the Canadian government have agreed to convert six million doses of the company’s COVID-19 vaccine, which targets the original virus, to an Omicron-containing bivalent vaccine.
Canada will also purchase an additional 4.5 million doses of the Omicron-containing candidate, and is moving forward the scheduled delivery of 1.5 million doses of the bivalent vaccine candidate from 2023 to 2022.
Health Canada reviewing vaccine submissions
Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said on Friday that Health Canada staff is working “very fast” to review bivalent vaccine submissions from both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech.
“We also have secure, sufficient supply of the bivalent formulation should the regulatory authorities go on to authorize the vaccines,” she said.
While existing COVID-19 vaccines continue to provide protection against hospitalization and death, vaccine effectiveness has taken a hit as the virus has evolved.
Moderna in June said trial data showed that when given as a fourth dose, the variant-adapted shot raised virus-neutralizing antibodies by eight-fold against Omicron.
Tam said based on the information submitted by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, the bivalent vaccines would protect against the original strain and the BA.1 strain.
Last week, British drug regulators were the first in the world to authorize an updated version of Moderna’s bivalent vaccine.

Iran Builds Its Own Online ISIS in America
by Daniel Greenfield
August 22, 2022 at 4:00 am
The stabbing of author Salman Rushdie by a Lebanese Shiite Muslim from New Jersey may be the culmination of efforts by Iran to imitate Al Qaeda and ISIS by building its own online terror network to carry out attacks inside the United States of America. The latest reports indicate that Hadi Matar, Rushdie’s attacker, had been in touch with members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The recent indictment of a member of the Iranian regime’s IRGC terror network for soliciting the assassination of former US National Security Advisor John Bolton provided a window into how Iran has targeted former Trump administration members.
The IRGC operative struck up a relationship with an Iranian-American on social media by initially offering $10,000 for photos of Bolton. This is a familiar form of espionage tradecraft in which a foreign spy solicits an American to perform a seemingly harmless and legal act, often involving

DEUTSCHE PRAVDA – Could Canada help replace Russian energy deliveries to Germany?
Could Canada help ‘replace’ Russian raw-materials and even some of its energy deliveries to Germany?
That’s what Berlin is hoping as chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived in Ottawa on Sunday with a delegation of German business leaders in tow. Canada is a fellow member of the G7 economies and boasts large deposits of lithium, cobalt and nickel.
It’s also a growing producer of hydrogen: Scholz is expected to sign a memorandum during his visit on establishing hydrogen supply chains with Canada.

The Worst and the Stupidest?
Our elites are now viewed with the disdain they have earned on their own merits. And they are none too happy about it.
By Victor Davis Hanson
August 21, 2022
Elites have always been ambiguous about the muscular classes who replace their tires, paint their homes, and cook their food. And the masses who tend to them likewise have been ambivalent about those who hire them: appreciative of the work and pay, but also either a bit envious of those with seemingly unlimited resources or turned off by perceived superciliousness arising from their status and affluence.
Yet the divide has grown far wider in the 21st century. Globalization fueled the separation in a number of ways.

Starting in Korea the US Military has won the wars on the battlefields and seen the politicians (leftwing) throw away the hard earned victory.

Dems Weaponize the IRS to Silence Critics
The Left’s hit squad magnifies.
Mon Aug 22, 2022Betsy McCaughey20 comments
The public should be frightened that Democrats are passing new legislation to weaponize the already abusive Internal Revenue Service.
For nearly a century, the IRS has been used by presidents and members of Congress to harass and incriminate political foes. In addition to collecting revenue to fund the government, the IRS is a hit squad that destroys reputations and criminalizes dissenters.
A lot of pain can be inflicted under the guise of tax “auditing.” The bill passed by Congress last week, erroneously labeled the Inflation Reduction Act, will mean more audits and investigations. The bill roughly doubles funding for the IRS enforcement division, adding an estimated 49,600 agents and auditors.

China in Charge at U.S. Lab
Fauci-funded officials allowed China to destroy files, materials and equipment, without backups.
Mon Aug 22, 2022Lloyd Billingsley11 comments
The Galveston National Laboratory (GNL), part of the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), focuses on “dangerous pathogens” with the “potential to be used as weapons around the world.”
This same GNL signed agreements with three Chinese labs, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), that gave China the power to destroy “secret files, materials and equipment, without any backups. “The agreements applied to “all cooperation and exchange documents, data, details and materials,” were renewable every five years, and the confidentiality terms remaining in force even after termination.
As The Epoch Times reports, the UTMB now concedes that officials signed “poorly drafted” agreements, and that the signing could violate Texas law. Also in play are violations of a more serious order.

In New Jersey, Parents Who Protest Leftist Agenda at School Board Meetings are ‘Extremist’
The authoritarians are just getting started.
Mon Aug 22, 2022Robert Spencer16 comments
Public schools even for the youngest children are becoming playgrounds for the woke, featuring drag queens, transgender closets, Critical Race Theory and more, but if you say a word about it, the National Education Association (NEA) will destroy you. That is the message of a new YouTube ad from the NEA’s New Jersey chapter. According to Fox News Thursday, “the ad flips back and forth between colorful photos of teachers with students and black-and-white photos of parents, arguing that the latter are trying to fuse politics with education.” Which, of course, the hard-Left, thoroughly politicized NEA itself would never ever do.
The NEA ad declares: “When extremists start attacking our schools, that’s not who we are. People who only want to fight to score political points should take that somewhere else.” Attacking our schools? Are parental mobs storming schools, taking teachers

** Russia releases video of suspected Moscow car bomber **
Footage shows the Ukrainian citizen entering the country and leaving it after assassinating Darya Dugina
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has made public a video of Ukrainian national Natalya Vovk, identified as the prime suspect in Saturday’s car bombing that killed journalist Darya Dugina in Moscow. The footage published Monday shows Vovk and her teenage daughter entering Russia, inside the building where Dugina lived, and leaving the country in haste.
Vovk, 43, was named by the FSB on Monday as the prime suspect in the assassination of Dugina. The Ukrainian national arrived in Russia on July 23, using Donetsk People’s Republic license plates to avoid scrutiny. While in Moscow, she swapped the plates on her Mini Cooper to those of Kazakhstan, a friendly former Soviet republic. On Sunday, after the bombing, Vovk drove to Estonia with Ukrainian plates, the FSB said.
Photos of the different license plates were included as part of the video presentation.

What do Canadians do when the Prime Minister “misspeaks”? Will he be charged for “misspeaking” and the amount of stress he and his government caused the Canadian taxpayers ( his bosses)?
Justine Trudeau “ it was only after we got information from law enforcement that we did invoke the Emergency Act”.

Steve Bannon: I spent 5 hours talking to people, meeting and greeting people and talking to them… and to a person they were asking when is President Trump going on offense on this outrageous, illegal raid, that they understand it’s illegal, they understand the FBI is the Gestapo? They’re shocked about what happened… Everyone here is saying when is Trump going on offense? They’re furious about what happened.
Liz Harrington: As they should be. I’m furious. It’s imminent. We got an amazing 4th Amendment complaint. And make no mistake. This is an attack on constitutional rights, 4th Amendment rights. Don’t buy into any of this nonsense… They had no reason to go in. It was a total violation of his constitutional rights.

An explosive device was detonated on Monday after a bomb scare forced an evacuation of a federal courthouse in West Virginia.
According to WVNS, more explosives were found at a nearby Presbyterian church.
One suspect is in custody, however their identity has not been publicly released.
The New York Post reported:
At around 11:40 a.m. — two hours after the area was evacuated — police yelled “Fire in the hole” ahead of a loud blast as at least one device was detonated from inside the courthouse, the Bluefield Daily Telegraph said.
The local paper saw a bomb-squad robot in the street, which was otherwise deserted save a heavy police presence.
Bluefield Police Chief Dennis Dillow confirmed to the paper that at least three suspicious devices had been found at the federal courthouse, without elaborating.

BREAKING: President Trump Files a Motion in Florida “Regarding the Unnecessary, Unwarranted, and unAmerican Break-In By Dozens of FBI Agents, and Others”
By Joe Hoft
Published August 22, 2022 at 5:00pm

We have just filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida strongly asserting my rights, including under the Fourth Amendment of our Constitution, regarding the unnecessary, unwarranted, and unAmerican Break-In by dozens of FBI agents, and others, of my home, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida.
They demanded that the security cameras be turned off, a request we rightfully denied. They prevented my attorneys from observing what was being taken in the raid, saying “absolutely not.” They took documents covered by attorney-client and executive privilege, which is not allowed. They took my passports. They even brought a “safe cracker” and successfully broke into my personal safe, which revealed…nothing!
We are now demanding that the Department of “Justice” be instructed to immediately STOP the review of documents illegally seized from my home. ALL documents have been previously declassified.
We are demanding the appointment of a SPECIAL MASTER to oversee the handling of the materials taken in the raid.
We are further demanding that the DOJ be forced to turn over a REAL, without “plants,” inventory of my property that was taken and disclose where that property is now located. We are demanding that all items wrongfully taken from my home be IMMEDIATELY returned.
The wrongful, overbroad warrant was signed by a Magistrate Judge who recused himself just two months ago, from a MAJOR civil suit that I filed, because of his bias and animus toward me.
This Mar-a-Lago Break-In, Search, and Seizure was illegal and unconstitutional, and we are taking all actions necessary to get the documents back, which we would have given to them without the necessity of the despicable raid of my home, so that I can give them to the National Archives until they are required for the future Donald J. Trump Presidential Library and Museum.
I will never stop fighting for the American people, our Country, and the Rule of Law.
Make America Great Again!

World Economic Forum Recommends Humans Become Cyborgs, Implant Brain Chips: There Are ‘Solid, Rational’ Reasons For Children To Be Microchipped
By Alicia Powe

The World Economic Forum is promoting “augmentation technology” to morph humans into cyborgs and recommends children be implanted with brain chips.
The brain chips will not improve health by eradicating impairments like learning disabilities and depression pave the way for humans to attain superhuman capacities, contends an August 16 article published on the WEF website.
Superheroes have been dominating big and small screens for a while, but there’s a subtle change happening. Many children expect to develop superpowers themselves. These expectations may sound unattainable, but we’re already making the first strides towards an “augmented society,” writes WEF “agenda contributor” Kathleen Phillips in the blog post titled, “Augmented tech can change the way we live, but only with the right support and vision.”

TIRS to Set Up ‘Centralized Office’ for 87,000 New Agents
Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / August 22, 2022
The Internal Revenue Service will establish a centralized office to implement elements of the tax and spending bill that President Joe Biden signed last week, including almost 87,000 new IRS agents, the agency’s chief says.
Democrats’ bill, which passed the Senate and House without a single Republican vote, provides $80 billion to the Internal Revenue Service, largely to pay for the 87,000 new agents through 2031.
In an email message Friday to all IRS employees, a copy of which was obtained by The Daily Signal, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig wrote: “This is a historic time for the IRS, and we are working to move quickly to begin work on the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law earlier this week.”

YRussia blames Darya Dugina’s killing on female Ukrainian assassin
By Snejana Farberov
Russia’s counterintelligence agency on Monday claimed that the car bomb that killed the daughter of Vladimir Putin’s ally Alexander Dugin was planted by a female Ukrainian spy who then fled to Estonia.
Officials with FSB have identified Darya Dugina’s alleged assassin as 43-year-old Natalia Vovk, who they said was acting as part of a criminal plot “orchestrated and perpetrated by Ukrainian special services,” according to Russian state news agency TASS.
FSB published a video compilation allegedly that opens with Vovk entering Russia in her grey Mini Cooper, which sports plates issued by the Kremlin-backed separatist Donetsk People’s Republic. A second portion of the video appears to show Vovk entering the apartment building where Dugina lived in Moscow.
A doorbell camera offers a clear view of the woman’s face as she stands in front of the front door, then answers a call on her phone.
