I’m just making a note on this story because it seems to align with other events in the ongoing Ukraine vs Russia narrative assembly, recently discussed.
The initial story, usually the most accurate {source}, stated that at an area within the Leipzig/Halle Airport complex in Germany, a small tour group noticed a drone flying low to the ground in/around the area where cargo planes are located. Leipzig is used by NATO as a cargo airport to deliver weapons.
The driver of the bus got out, pushed the drone to the ground and called airport authorities to notify them. The drone was located near the area where two Ukrainian Antonov aircraft

Voter files in Maricopa County, Arizona, were obtained illegally before the 2020 presidential election, according to records released on Aug. 6 by the White House.
Authorities discovered that 633,000 voter files had been exfiltrated from the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office just before the election, according to logs from the U.S. intelligence community and other documents. The voter files contained information such as people’s names, birth dates, and addresses. About 930 of them included information on people such as domestic violence victims, judges, and law enforcement officers.
The files were illegally extracted from the office, the FBI said in a document opening an investigation

John Solomon, working for the administration on behalf of President Trump, has released internal FBI information that surrounded an investigation of President Trump and When FBI Director James Comey was fired, the FBI triggered an extension to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. That new investigation was codenamed “Oxferd Comma.” The investigation was created by the FBI Counterintelligence Division and approved by FBI General Counsel James Baker and FBI Counterintelligence Deputy Bill Priestap.
Obviously, the FBI crew who were illegally weaponizing their offices to fabricate Crossfire Hurricane, the ridiculous Trump-Russia investigation – which was used as a justification to coverup their preexisting surveillance operation, were angered that President Trump had fired
A resolution the Senate is scheduled to vote on this week states that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during Congressional testimony did not apply because the conduct he was questioned about occurred during time covered by a preemptive pardon given to Fauci in 2025 by outgoing President Joe Biden.
Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022, read an opening statement during the July 29 hearing before saying, in answer to every single question, he was invoking the Fifth Amendment.
Even after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chairman of the panel before which Fauci appeared, told

Olha Stefanishyna says she resigned. Volodymyr Zelenskyy says she was removed. Regardless of which storyline is accurate, the Ukraine Ambassador to the United States is no longer in position.

When Texas Children’s Hospital’s “detransition clinic” opens in Houston, it will become the first facility of its kind, giving patients who regret life-altering procedures a chance at restorative care.
The facility, which has yet to announce an opening date, is part of an agreement with state and federal authorities to halt “gender-affirming care” at children’s hospitals while offering help to those who transitioned medically.
A 10-page settlement term sheet, recently obtained by The Epoch Times through an open records request to the Texas attorney general’s office, showed that services at the clinic will focus on multidisciplinary care.
Renowned wildlife biologist Forrest Galante erupted during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, accusing Bill Gates and his foundation of helping destroy one of Africa’s most important freshwater fisheries through a disastrous mosquito-net program.
Galante said the foundation distributed millions of tightly woven nets across communities near the Cahora Bassa Delta to combat malaria.
However, starving residents used the nets to catch fish instead.
Because mosquito nets contain extremely small holes, Galante said they indiscriminately captured juvenile fish before they could mature and reproduce, devastating a fishery relied upon by millions of people.

Microsoft co-founder and private citizen Bill Gates received top security clearance from the Department of Energy (DOE), giving him access to deep government secrets for seven years, according to a letter obtained by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
The billionaire was given “Q security clearance” from 2014 to 2021, beginning during Barack Obama’s presidency and overlapping Dr. Anthony Fauci’s controversial and powerful tenure heading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), according to the Daily Caller’s reporting of the letter.
Sen. Paul requested the letter be entered into the Congressional record during Wednesday’s committee hearing where the now retired disease doctor evoked Fifth Amendment protection more than 100 times when
Old habits die hard. At least that is the case for our Supreme Court’s Justice Neil Gorsuch, who persists in repeating the erroneous narrative that America was founded as religiously neutral. In a July 24th interview with PBS’ Margaret Hoover, Gorsuch gave his interpretation of the American founding, denying America was founded as a Christian nation:
“We were never supposed to be a nation that was about one race or one religion … It was about those ideas [in the Declaration of Independence] … We have a First Amendment, for crying out loud. No established religion.”
Several people sent me this video with comments about DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin appearing to be hesitant on deporting illegal aliens. I watched ready to chew (in typeset) his head off. However, I don’t see that amnesty aspect as part of his commentary.
On the illegal alien workers, I structurally disagree with every single person who have used that argument for the past 20 years. We do not need illegal alien workers, not even in the agricultural sector. The illegal farm worker argument is a ruse, created by Big Ag, and promoted by smaller Ag to protect their bottom line and themselves from criticism.

Islamo-Marxist Abdul El-Sayed Beats So-Called
Moderate Haley Stevens in Michigan Senate Race 27 replies
Moderate Haley Stevens in Michigan Senate Race 27 replies
UPDATE: NBC has officially called the Michigan Senate race for far-left Democratic Socialist Abdul El-Sayed.
Islamo-Marxist Abdul El-Sayed appears on track to defeat the so-called moderate Democrat in the Michigan Democratic Primary for Senator.
Stevens was backed by Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Senator Chuck Schumer.
El-Sayed will now face former Rep. Mike Rogers, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary, in the November general election. El-Sayed has denied that he is a socialist, but he’s attended and spoken at at least six DSA events over the years, according to Fox.
“I’m not technically or practically DSA,” he claimed in an interview last month. “I am not somebody who is a socialist.
Francesca Hong, the radical leftist running for governor of Wisconsin, has been in the news for the last two days over negative comments she once made about Thanksgiving being a symbol of colonialism and ‘the original superspreader.’
Well, the polling on that must have come in because now Hong is out there telling people that Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday and she totally means it, everyone.
These people have no shame. They will literally look you in the face and say whatever they think will open the doors of power for them.
They think no one remembers a thing.
NBC News projected early Wednesday that Abdul El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in the state's Democrat senatorial primary. Our partner DDHQ has also just called the race. Establishment Democrats are freaking out right now. Bernie Sanders’ organization Our Revolution also declared victory in the race. "Last night, Michigan delivered one of the clearest messages of this election cycle: people power can beat big money,” Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution, said in a statement. “Abdul El-Sayed was outspent by nearly ten to one, facing the largest single-race AIPAC investment in history and tens of millions of dollars from billionaire-backed super PACs determined to buy this election.
FDA approves 1st mRNA flu shot, from Moderna
20 replies
The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the U.S.’ first flu shot that uses mRNA technology: mFlusiva, from drugmaker Moderna.
The FDA granted approval for two age groups, adults 50 to 65 and adults 65 and up, on the condition that Moderna run an additional clinical trial in the older group, the company said in a release. In a late-stage trial, mFlusiva was found to be about 27% more effective than a standard flu shot.
Many scientists and public health experts have touted the idea of an mRNA-based flu vaccine, which uses the same messenger RNA platform as the Covid vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer.
A Westchester County police bigwig and her ex-con hubbie chaperoned their gangbanger son to a botched hit on a rival in the Bronx – then she took over as the getaway driver, officials said Tuesday.
Mount Vernon Deputy Police Commissioner Jennifer Lackard, 49, and her husband James Lackard drove their 20-year-old son Chase Lackard to Concourse on June 29 at around 11:57 a.m. and helped him plan a brazen hit right outside the Bronx Criminal Court, according to police and court records.
Once there, the proud parents sat in the front of the family’s Chrysler Pacifica while their “Slutty Gang” member son opened fire with a semiautomatic out of the window
Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) claimed Republicans would vote for Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
Jayapal said, “I’m struck by the fact that they have nothing positive to offer voters. All they can do is try to attach labels to Abdul El-Sayed after seeing a primary. That was a remarkable turnout from voters. I mean, 1.4 million votes, I believe, were cast in the Michigan primary; people are electrified and being on the ground with Abdul. I can tell you he is an electrifying candidate. He has really mobilized a whole group of voters who had given up
Donald Trump was President of the United States, and James Comey was his employee.
Comey was terrible at his job and was engaged in a massive conspiracy to slander and perhaps imprison the president, pushing conspiracy theories he knew to be false, leaking false information to the media through intermediaries, including information that was classified, and hence he broke the law.
President Trump fired him. Comey's allies in the FBI opened a criminal investigation into the president for exercising his constitutional duties as Chief Executive of the United States.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist dream of government-run grocery stores is off to a bad start. He’s already had to admit that customers will have to carry proof of residency to shop in them, that private companies — not the city — will run the stores, and that the first one won’t open for more than a year, and others not for three years.
But Mamdani’s likely to face an even bigger problem if no legitimate grocer wants to get into bed with him.
The “request for proposals” tacitly admits that his idea of government-run stores was stillborn, since he wants bids from private companies that have extensive experience
Is America going socialist?
15 replies
Socialists have won one Democratic primary after another this year. Of course, Democratic primary voters represent a thin slice, the leftward-most portion, of our electorate. Still, socialism as a viable popular movement in the United States represents a radical departure from our history. How wide is the appeal of socialism, really?
Rasmussen headlines “Voters Overwhelmingly Reject DSA Policies,” and its findings are interesting. But while the Rasmussen survey tests four policies being advocated by the Democratic Socialists of America, socialism is not one of them. And I don’t find the results to be particularly reassuring:
Just give poor people more money
14 replies
Socialists think poor people have too little money, and rich people have too much.
I happen to think the truth is somewhat the opposite. A big problem is that poor people in America have too much money despite their proven inability to manage it.
Poor people consume monster meals and quart-sized sodas at McDonalds, lease gas-guzzling trucks that are too big for the road, buy lousy food that is too much for them to eat, and get 100” TVs even though there’s nothing on.
But for purposes of the discussion, let’s accept the premise: Poor people have too little money.
Does Climate Change Cause Forest Fires?
14 replies
Liberals are quick to blame forest fires on “climate change,” without any evidence as to how the conditions under which a particular fire broke out are different from those of last year or decades ago.
In fact, acreage lost to wildfires is at an all-time low because of improved forest management techniques. Worldwide, acreage burned by wildfires is believed to be lower than ever before, including pre-human historical times. In the U.S., acreage burned is down by around 80% since the 1920s and 1930s, as the Healthy Skeptic notes: (Chart) The recent slight uptick is due, I believe, to the fact that California has turned forest management over to environmentalists,
Some blockbuster news is dropping Wednesday night as pertains to the ongoing congressional investigations into Anthony Fauci: a copy of the diminutive doctor's COVID-era phone has landed in the hands of the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).According to an exclusive report in the Wall Street Journal, the phone was handed over by the Department of Health and Human Services, and is likely to contain additional records about Fauci's conduct during the pandemic. This comes a week after Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) publicly released an archive of documents related to Fauci's handling of COVID, including his diaries.
