Durov with aiding terrorism and puts him
on wanted list 0 replies
Russia’s main domestic security agency said Wednesday that Pavel Durov, founder and owner of the messaging app Telegram, has been charged with aiding terrorism and put on an international wanted list.
The charges against Durov, who was born and began his career in Russia but later moved abroad, came as the Russian authorities restrict Telegram, one of the most popular messaging apps in the country. It is part of a long-term effort to bring the internet under the Kremlin’s full control that has intensified since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Four Texas congressional races remain competitive as Election Day approaches, drawing attention to some of the state’s most closely watched contests.
In August 2025, the Texas Legislature passed a new congressional map during a special legislative session. Although the map was challenged in court, with a lower court ruling that it raised constitutional concerns over race, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas to use the map for the 2026 midterm elections.
Since redistricting, four congressional races—most of them in South Texas—have become competitive, with both parties vying for key seats.
Iran launched a missile strike on US forces in the Middle East on Tuesday in what US Central Command described as a “attempted surprise attack.”
All of the missiles were intercepted, CENTCOM says.
This comes after President Trump called off the nearly two-week-long bombing campaign against Iran to continue negotiations on Friday.
“At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” US Central Command announced in a statement.
Joe Biden shared candid thoughts about some of his fellow Democrat politicians years before his presidency, according to recently released recordings of interviews with his ghostwriter.
Biden’s discussions from October 2016 through April 2017 with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer were published by the Oversight Project, a watchdog group, through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The discussions touched on a range of topics including fellow politicians Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders.
In a discussion on Nov. 3, 2016, Zwonitzer asked Biden, then serving as vice president, “Were you kind of a lonely voice on Ukraine at this point of the administration?”
Former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., will face dramatically different races for Senate depending on the outcome of the Democratic primary, according to a recent survey.
Rogers, who previously sought the state's other Senate seat, is the Republican Party's presumptive nominee. He is likely to face either Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., or Abdul El-Sayed.
Should he face Stevens, he would trail her with 44.7% support to the Democrat's 45.5% among Michigan voters, the latest Glengarif Group survey revealed. Stevens's lead widens to 2% among definite voters, with her commanding 46.8% to his 44.8%.
Should El-Sayed become the Democratic nominee, however, Rogers would likely cruise to victory.
“I’d rather be Senator Shrek than Pontiac Platner any day,” Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said in response to Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed telling donors he’d be happy to see Fetterman primaried, putting one “ogre on a pike.”
Fetterman’s response tied the radical El-Sayed to the Nazi-tattooed Graham Platner, who had been Maine’s Democratic nominee for Senate before departing the race after rape allegations surfaced. The Pennsylvania senator has clashed with both Platner and El-Sayed over their hostility toward the state of Israel.
But El-Sayed has now upped the ante with what even Democrats are calling “violent, vulgar” rhetoric.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., released a trove of Anthony Fauci’s diary entries Saturday, the latest in a series of document dumps further exposing the corruption of many of the scientists and government officials behind the tyrannical response to Covid. Among other revelations, Fauci’s entries from December 2019 to December 2022 reveal a man fixated on legacy media appearances, the perks of fame, and the growing Fauci “cult” even as the pandemic escalated.
The size of Fauci’s ego is no surprise to anyone who lived through Covid with his eyes open. He was notorious for doing home interviews with a portrait of himself in the background. He once claimed,

Just a few weeks before the first day of class, Howard University retracted the admission of 502 incoming freshmen, whom it says failed to pay tuition on time. Now, New York is opening up its public university system to affected students and offering $800 credits to offset non-refundable deposit costs.
The would-be incoming Howard students were notified July 22 by the school of their dis-enrollment, and many took to social media afterward to lament the situation.
Several attributed their delayed tuition payments to waiting for private scholarships and other financial aid promises from Howard, a private school and one the country's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The American auto industry is protected and thriving—and that’s thanks to Republicans in Congress doing their job, President Donald Trump said in a rally on July 27.
Trump spoke at the General Motors facility in Milford, Michigan on Monday ahead of the Senate primary debate to come later that evening.
The president emphasized that America is doing well, attributing much of the credit to Republicans in Congress, and inviting several Republican candidates on stage.
“And thanks to our Republican majorities in Congress, we actually made interest on auto loans fully tax deductible—but only if the car is made in America,” Trump said.
President Donald Trump is asking the Senate to abolish the Senate filibuster and adopt the SAVE America Act to get illegal aliens off of the voter rolls and to require proof of citizenship to register to vote from now on, citing over 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada alone. So far, the Senate is saying there aren’t the votes to abolish the filibuster.
What can be done in the interim, then?
Anyone registering to vote in the United States fills out the form under penalty of perjury, including the section where they check off if they’re a U.S. citizen. Meaning,
It’s summertime and Ukraine is rockin’ her Ozempic body. And you’ve gotta admit, she’s lookin’ pretty dang hot. (More on that — and why MAGA provocateur Laura Loomer’s Ukrainian conversion matters — in just a sec.)
There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who harbor self-aggrandizing revenge fantasies against the people who rejected us… and those who are dirty, filthy liars.
‘Cause I’ll admit it: When I was a teenager, I used to daydream about becoming so frickin’ famous that all the (many, many) girls who DARED reject me would regret it. Oh,

After France Says Unthinkable About Trump Administration 18 replies
The French have done it again. The nation that gave the world the baguette, camembert cheese, and snooty accents crossed a big red line on social media after a U.N. Security Council meeting on Friday. The U.S. envoy, Dan Negrea, a senior delegation official and alternate representative at the General Assembly, slammed France’s “disingenuous grandstanding” and walked out during a Monday meeting
What drew the ire of the seasoned diplomat? France compared the United States to… North Korea.
No, seriously. Negrea took the French to task over their dishonest smear of the United States.

After Mass Shooting For Deactivating CCTV Cameras 17 replies
In the wake of a mass shooting in Seattle Sunday, the city’s Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson is facing scrutiny for deactivating surveillance cameras in parts of the city to protect criminals and illegal aliens.
A shootout between two thugs at Seattle’s Bite of Seattle food festival Sunday evening left three people dead and four others injured, including a toddler.
Seattle Police and SWAT teams responded within seconds, performing emergency aid at the scene and launching a search for suspects. Police reportedly recovered two guns at the scene.
Police identified the deceased victims as a 19-year-old man, 44-year-old man, and 56-year-old woman.
RFK Catches Something in the Fauci Diaries

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle" Monday, claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci received the COVID vaccine in a very public ceremony, then roughly five months later, suffered a "pulmonary infarction."
According to RFK, Fauci never told anyone about it. It's one of many alleged lies laid out by the prominent Kennedy family member.
"He lied about masks. He lied about the social distancing. He lied about the transmission, and he lied about natural immunity," he told Fox News personality Laura Ingraham. "He lied about the capacity, as you just said, of the vaccine to prevent infection."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has doubled down on his “Eat the rich” campaign by publishing a list of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers guilty of . . . owning an apartment.
The city Department of Finance released an “enemies list” of property owners who might be covered by the new non-resident “pied-a-terre” tax — a kind of one-stop class-warfare shopping list for antifa radicals looking for targets.
Mind you, publicizing the list serves no good purpose: The city is mailing all these owners asking them to clarify if they don’t qualify for the new tax, so this publicity isn’t about informing them, it’s about scaring them.
Several prominent Senate Republicans have joined President Donald Trump in pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the Senate’s August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, the voter-integrity legislation championed by the president.
The legislation aims to prevent noncitizens from voting.
As of Monday morning, Sens. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rick Scott, R-Fla., Mike Lee, R-Utah, Jim Banks, R-Ind., John Kennedy, R-La., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., have come out in favor of passing the legislation before recess.
Banks stated that after New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced that more than 6,600 noncitizens had been accidentally registered to vote, there has been a new push among Republicans to enact the legislation.

Rand Paul, R-Ky., released a trove of Anthony Fauci’s diary entries Saturday, the latest in a series of document dumps further exposing the corruption of many of the scientists and government officials behind the tyrannical response to Covid.

Iran attempted a “surprise attack” against US forces in the Middle East on Tuesday, firing several ballistic missiles that were all intercepted, US Central Command said.
“At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East,” CENTCOM wrote on X. “All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” the command added.
The flareup came one day after mediators said that cease-fire talks between the US and Iran made “significant” progress. President Trump, last Friday, had halted
It is apropos that the same week that former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci will be grilled before the Senate on his COVID deception and falsehoods, Joe Biden's former Health and Human Services Secretary and CA governor candidate Xavier Becerra would also be in the crosshairs. Becerra is already under scrutiny for the 300,000 unaccompanied minors that went missing under his watch, when he served as HHS Secretary. On Monday, a whistleblower came forward and pulled the lid off of just how the sponsors of these children were vetted. Or rather, how they were not vetted.
Steve Goncalves, the father of Kaylee, one of the four University of Idaho students allegedly murdered by Bryan Kohberger, is speaking out on the shocking development in the murder case.The accused killer had initially taken a plea deal that ensured he evaded the death penalty, but required he admit to the murders of the four students. This led him to receive four life sentences, which he is now trying to undo by declaring his innocence and demanding a trial.
Reacting to the move by Bryan Kohberger, Steve Goncalves shared that he would love to have a “second shot” at the accused killer, especially if it means he gets the death penalty.
The Democratic Socialists of America are not hiding their plan to reshape America. On Sunday, their co-chair joined Fox News and openly confirmed that their long-term goals ahead of the midterm elections include abolishing parts of the U.S. government.
Megan Romer appeared on Shannon Bream’s “Fox News Sunday,” saying the organization’s goals include abolishing the presidency, U.S. Senate, and Supreme Court, as well as prisons, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the nation’s borders. The Democratic Socialists of America also envision defunding the Pentagon and granting amnesty for illegal aliens.
A Fox News poll finds that a majority of Democrats say they have a favorable view of the Democratic Socialists of America. But our I&I/TIPP Poll found that Democrats reject – sometimes overwhelmingly – key DSA policy proposals.
What explains the gap?
The Fox Poll also found that 52% of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism, compared with 11% of Republicans and 17% of independents. Support for the Democratic Socialists of America is even stronger, with 59% of Democrats expressing a favorable view, compared with 6% of Republicans.
As NBC News remarked, “step outside the Democratic Party,
