Anthony Fauci on Wednesday appeared before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee, but pleaded the Fifth to avoid answering questions by Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) and others about his obfuscation of facts surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fauci told the committee in an opening statement that he believes in and respects “the value of legitimate congressional oversight,” and noted he had testified before or briefed Senate and House committees more than 200 times over his 38-year career. He mentioned appearing for hearings in the Senate and House for transcribed, sworn interviews about the Covid-19 pandemic.

What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution.
In the history of Congress, only a couple of mob bosses have invoked the privilege more.
“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution,” the Machiavellian career bureaucrat said over and over in the nearly three-hour hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
But Fauci’s silence rendered him a villain more powerfully than his usual sly deceptions.
Shameful, too,

Is there a serious crisis of confidence in the Social Security system? It certainly looks that way, based on the latest national online I&I/TIPP Poll, which was taken June 29 through July 2 by 1,473 Americans.
The poll’s first question asked voters: “How confident are you that Social Security will pay full scheduled benefits throughout your retirement?”
Among those responding, 43% said they were either “very confident” (16%) or “somewhat confident” (23%). But 47% answered either “not very confident” (23%) or “not at all confident” (24%). Another 10% said they were not sure.

A stunning paperwork failure has handed Democrats a guaranteed pickup in Florida House District 47 without forcing them to win a November general election.
Democrats have effectively flipped a Republican-held seat in the Florida House after GOP incumbent Paula Stark failed to qualify for the ballot and her legal effort to reverse the disastrous mistake collapsed in court.
Leon County Circuit Judge Joshua Hawkes formally dismissed Stark’s lawsuit on July 23 and ordered the clerk to close the case, ending the Republican lawmaker’s last-ditch attempt to regain her place on the 2026 ballot, according to Florida Politics.
The result is an astonishing and completely avoidable loss for Florida Republicans

Spain's socialist government is presiding over a manmade disaster.
Stunning images and videos have surfaced of Algerian and Moroccan migrants overrunning the coastal city of Ceuta. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin remarked on the disturbing videos. "This takes me back to Del Rio, TX in 2021 w/ the Haitian surge. Similar images," he remarked.
"This is what the DSA/socialist platform looks like in practice - in another country," he added. "No borders. No immigration enforcement. Complete freedom of movement without any resistance from the government." The videos coming out of Ceuta, Spain are insane," he added. "Thousands of Moroccans and Algerians breaching and overrunning the Spanish border."

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, stunned Republican senators on Wednesday when he refused to answer their questions about the COVID-19 pandemic by invoking his Fifth Amendment right at the start of a congressional hearing.
Unlike other instances of witnesses taking the Fifth, however, that wasn’t the end of the proceeding, as GOP and Democratic members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee continued quizzing Fauci for under four hours.
Republicans, led by Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.), demanded answers on the origins of the pandemic,

Last week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s short stint as a faux president ended with an embarrassing acknowledgment that he could not, as promised during his campaign, arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
So, this week, Mamdani the Grocer made a reappearance, with details on the five city-run grocery stores that he will open.
But rather than deliver discount groceries, Mamdani is selling New Yorkers a bill of goods that will cost them millions.

Anthony Fauci stumbled into the Senate chamber today, shaking and looking like he hasn’t slept in weeks, carrying one enormous shield: the Fifth Amendment.(snip)Fauci has backed himself into a corner where every available option right now is dangerous. Tell the truth, and he could destroy what little shred of “reputation” he has left. Lie, and he gets an all-new legal problem that Biden’s autopen pardon can’t touch.
So Fauci chose door number three: say nothing and hope the Fifth gets him out of the room alive.
But thanks to that sweeping Biden pardon, that 5th escape hatch may eventually slam shut.

At least three times in 1858, during speeches or in Lincoln-Douglas Debates, Abraham Lincoln brought up slavery as being on a path to ultimate extinction. Whether it was in Chicago on July 10th or Jonesboro on September 15th, crediting the nation's founding fathers as crafting the Constitution as the vehicle creating the dead-end path for that evil institution, or from the phrase's most famous citation, the House Divided Speech on June 15th in Springfield, Lincoln's meaning was quite clear.
Either the opponents of slavery

A Wisconsin brewery known for anti-Trump social media posts, including one promising a free beer promotion upon the death of President Donald Trump, has had its permit to operate in the state revoked by state officials.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday that liberal activist and brewery owner Kirk Bangstad is "vowing to fight ‘tooth and nail’ after receiving a letter from the state's Department of Revenue revoking Minocqua Brewing Co.'s permit to operate in Wisconsin, according to a July 26 newsletter sent to his supporters."

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) dropped another bombshell during Wednesday’s explosive Senate hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci, confronting the former COVID czar with adverse event data that he argued should have triggered urgent scrutiny years ago—but instead was ignored while federal health agencies relentlessly promoted COVID vaccines and Remdesivir. Johnson’s latest exchange came after he previously confronted Fauci with stacks of studies on ivermectin and questioned why federal officials dismissed evidence supporting alternative treatments before Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during the hearing.

Jimmy Carter the peanut farmer was great, OK?
His 4 years of ineptitude gave us 12 years of Republican rule in the form of Ronald Reagan and his successor, George H. W. Bush. (It would have been at least 16 years, if not for Ross Perot taking many of Bush’s votes to be re-elected in 1992.) And arguably, that 12 years of GOP rule produced another 8 years of GOP rule through the prodigal son, George W. Bush.
I love Jimmy Carter. (I hate Ross Perot.)
