Suspended Georgia Rep Pleads Guilty to
COVID-19 Unemployment Fraud
Posted By: 4250Luis, 8/1/2026 8:45:13 AM
A suspended state representative in Georgia has pleaded guilty in federal court to unemployment fraud dealings made during the COVID-19 pandemic era. Sharon Henderson, the third official in a string of Georgia Democrats to plead guilty, admitted to fraudulent unemployment dealings resulting from the 2020 pandemic, collecting a total of $17,811. “While running for and holding political office, Representative Henderson was fleecing taxpayers, lying to steal money from federal programs intended to help people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic,” U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg said in a press release. “Her prosecution and conviction demonstrate that elected officials who enrich themselves through fraud will be held accountable for violating the public’s trust.”

The movement to ban Mayor Zohran Mamdani from this year’s 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero — marking the 25th anniversary of New York City’s darkest day — is mounting.
In less than three weeks, more than 62,000 people have signed the Change.org petition demanding Hizzoner skip the solemn event.
The mayor’s past remarks and associations with people openly hostile to the U.S. or scornful of the worst terror attack in American history has made his planned attendance a lightning rod for criticism, but he’s so far brushed off the growing chorus and pledges to be there.The petition lists many reasons for wanting to exclude Mamdani,

California Gov. Gavin Newsom allowed a select group of journalists to view his tax returns from 2021 through 2024 at his office on Thursday afternoon, and what's been reported about their contents so far isn't good for the 2028 presidential hopeful. According to reports from multiple outlets invited to view the returns, the Newsoms' income hasn't increased since the last time his returns were released, but Jennifer Siebel Newsom's for-profit company, Girls Club Entertainment, lost money all four years and didn't pay her a salary in 2023 or 2024.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson isn’t exactly known for her neutrality — quite the opposite, actually.
She’s infamous for using emotional arguments in her decisions and for her long-winded, loaded questions. As our Sister Toldjah reported in 2025, she often gets under the skin of even the other justices. “We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself,” Barrett wrote about Jackson’s musings regarding a birthright citizen case.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) pushed back Thursday on claims made by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) following the latest pounding by U.S. air power against Iranian targets on Wednesday.
CENTCOM used social media to respond to the latest three unsupportable claims by the IRGC.
“FIRST CLAIM: The IRGC (again) claims free and open routes through the Strait of Hormuz are dangerous for commercial vessels.
“FACT: The immediate dangers posed to commercial vessels and their civilian crews are the IRGC’s verbal threats and attempted attacks.
“SECOND CLAIM:
Ed Miliband has spent his career as one of the world’s most committed climate zealots, and he now finds himself installed as Foreign Secretary in Andy Burnham’s new government, personally taking up the United Kingdom’s seat as Governor of the World Bank. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office announced this week that the former Energy Secretary would personally occupy the United Kingdom’s seat as Governor of the World Bank, a job normally left to a junior minister, so that the “climate crisis” and overseas development sit at the very heart of British foreign policy.
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,
Advocates for voter ID in California have sued the state over altered ballot language for the November initiative.
The ballot initiative Proposition 39, which would amend the state constitution to require that voters provide government-issued identification to vote, originally included the description, “Establishes additional voter identification and citizenship verification requirements.”
However, last week, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, changed the language to say: “Prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification.”
Plaintiffs supporting the passage of Proposition 39 say it would not “prohibit” any votes. Under federal law—the Help America Vote Act—voters can cast provisional ballots if there is a question about their eligibility.
Both Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Bernie Moreno (R-OH) dismantled Anthony Fauci’s refusal to answer questions, pointing out that he has no leg to stand on during a contentious hearing that continually had Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid responsibility for his role in the pandemic and the many lies he told the American people throughout the years. Fauci informed lawmakers in his opening statement before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs that he would not be answering any questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights. Hawley, however, explained that his use of the Fifth Amendment is bunk.

After reading a statement alleging that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who was chairing the hearing, had an "obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution," Fauci clammed up. Undaunted, Paul proceeded to question him anyway.
We may have been denied the satisfaction of hearing Fauci having to answer for his tyrannical reign as the COVID king – where was the "No Kings" crowd back then? – but we were treated to the delightful sight of his obnoxious attorney, David Schertler, being hauled out of the room by security after ignoring Sen. Paul's warning to keep his mouth shut.

Jordan’s air defenses intercepted five missiles launched from Iran early Wednesday, the country’s military said, hours after the U.S. military said it had knocked down an Iranian missile barrage launched against American forces in the Middle East, shattering a brief pause in fighting.
The Jordanian military said the missiles had been “intercepted and destroyed.” Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency carried a statement from the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard saying the Guard’s Aerospace Force fired ballistic missiles at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base and the headquarters of the U.S. military’s Central Command in Jordan.
The renewed hostilities sent oil prices spiking. Brent crude, the international standard, jumped 3.1% to $84.58 a barrel.
Israel’s Next Churchill

Not surprisingly, Israelis and Americans are facing crucial Fall elections. In the United States citizens will vote for Congress and the Senate. Conservatives fear that the Democrats may take both houses. If they do, then they will try to impeach President Trump and they will do everything possible to weaken the alliance with that other Biblically inspired exceptional democracy, Israel.
In Israel, citizens will vote for those parties and leaders that they hope will successfully lead Israel during a time of geo-strategic turbulence. As Donald Trump has just under two years before his time as President expires, one must look to Israel and ask—

(snip) And now, Harris and her husband have moved to a swanky neighborhood in which she is one of but a handful of black residents — Point Dume, in Malibu, Calif.

An unprecedented wave of nearly 50,000 illegal migrants from Africa has flooded the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, prompting Spain to deploy its military – as locals liken the invasion to an “apocalypse.”
Harrowing local media reports reveal residents and business owners in Ceuta – a Spanish territory located on the north African coast – are terrified to open their doors amid the rush of migrants, many of whom arrived wearing nothing but swimwear without a penny or possession to their name.
“Businesses closed. Shops shut because if you open a business, it gets overrun … We’re scared. The streets are packed. There are no measures in place. It’s every man for himself.
As many as 60,000 illegal migrants from Africa have swarmed the Spanish territory of Ceuta after Spain’s Supreme Court ruled migrants intercepted at sea while trying to reach the area cannot be kicked out.
The ruling issued earlier this month — which applies to the Spanish autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla — said the migrants cannot be expelled under the territories’ special border-rejection regime.
Migrants climbed over border fences or swam to the territory’s shores. At least 34 people died trying to enter Ceuta.
Following Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) missile attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Jordan, President Donald Trump is now signaling readiness for full-scale military action that could shatter the cycle of tit-for-tat exchanges and accelerate an end to the conflict, opening the door for a full-on revolution for the Persian nation.
"We're going to beat the f****** s*** out of them [...] We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating," Trump said on Wednesday.
If the Iranian regime collapsed under external pressure and internal strain, the power vacuum could empower ordinary Iranians, who have long protested theocratic rule, to seize control of their country’s future.

Hunter Biden claimed under oath earlier this year that he's so broke he doesn't even own a car or a cellphone, and said his family is too strapped for cash to help him pay off millions in unpaid legal bills.
The former first son painted a bleak picture of his own and of Biden family finances during a Feb. 9 deposition in his legal battle with powerhouse law firm Winston Taylor, which sued Biden in June 2025 for allegedly stiffing the firm out of $17 million accrued from representing Biden in federal criminal cases, congressional investigations, and defamation lawsuits Biden brought against his enemies.
One of the things that is perplexing and often a topic of conversation is this new American-Western European alliance or absorption of Islam and Marxism-socialism-communism. In other words, people who identify as radical Muslims, often in their alliance, include people who are traditional Western Marxists, and it doesn’t seem possible for a variety of ways.
There’s a lot of antitheses. Do we really believe that these upscale people in blue enclaves in the United States who declare themselves socialist and are voting for people like Zohran Mamdani, or Ilhan Omar, or Rashida Tlaib, who are proud, and active, and often fervent Muslims, tolerate gays?

With the rise of the Mamdani-style communists has come a widespread narrative that the sudden rise of more openly radical politicians means the Democrats of the last few years or decades are somehow moderate. Depending on who’s telling the story, it’s a harrowing tale about Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries trying to stave off the DSA Marxists; or the “far left” floundering because it doesn’t have its own Fox News; or the party needing a storybook journey home to the moderation of Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
These are all tall tales, of course. Schumer and Jeffries are engaged in a power struggle, but it’s an intramural contest among fellow radicals.
Elon Musk Rides to the GOP's Midterm Rescue

Elon Musk, the mercurial trillionaire, is planning another massive cash binge on behalf of the GOP's midterm campaign that might just be enough to keep the Republicans in power in the House and Senate.
In 2024, Musk dropped a cool $260 million to help elect Donald Trump. No word on exactly how much Musk is willing to shell out this election cycle, but it will only add to the Republicans' massive cash advantage over the Democrats for the November contests.
"GOP super PACs and committees have a $300 million-plus advantage over their Democratic counterparts — and that doesn't include the $400 million sitting in Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC," reports Axios.

Groups of young men were seen wandering the territory’s streets, looking for food and water. The beaches were covered in floats, rubber rings and discarded clothing.

CEUTA, Spain — Tens of thousands of migrants who crossed into Spain’s tiny Ceuta territory returned voluntarily to Morocco on Friday, a day after the influx triggered chaos in the North African city and reignited the immigration debate in Europe and beyond. At least 57 migrants died on the journey.
Ceuta’s president put the number of migrants at 60,000, which was equivalent to 70% of the territory’s population. But most of them soon went back, the Spanish government said, after the sudden arrival of so many people sparked a humanitarian crisis.
Some migrants swam several miles through the sea and faced down authorities
new Gallup poll finds that more than a third of Democrats and nearly half of independents are worried about “people who are ineligible to vote casting ballots in U.S. elections.” Yet Senate Democrats (and a few RINOS) continue to block legislation to address those very concerns.
The poll, conducted with the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, found that 53 percent of all adults are worried about “people who are ineligible to vote casting ballots in U.S. elections.” When broken down among party lines, 78 percent of Republicans share that concern along with 36 percent of Democrats and 48 percent of independents. The poll also found 57 percent of all adults are worried
