Dr. Fauci’s bizarre fame fixation as COVID deaths mounted revealed in newly released diaries

In late June 2020, as US daily COVID cases reached a record 40,000 in a single day, Dr. Fauci felt fit to mention that he had received an invitation to appear on "Dancing with the Stars."

Sanders dismisses Rahm Emanuel’s warning that ‘Bernie bros’ could ‘spoil’ Democrats in the midterms

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday dismissed a warning from Rahn Emanuel, former U.S. ambassador to Japan, who wrote in The Wall Street Journal that “Bernie bros” could “spoil” the Democratic Party’s chances in the midterm elections. “There is a strong division within the Democratic Party,” Sanders told CBS News’s Margaret Brennan during an appearance…

Judge's 'unexpected' Epstein files demand reveals dark truth about Todd Blanche: expert

A federal judge's “unexpected” demand to Attorney General Todd Blanche regarding the Epstein files proves a bedrock judicial principle is “on life support," a legal expert argued Sunday.Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan gave Blanche five days to provide the court with unredacted versions of certain Epstein-related files for private review as it litigates a lawsuit filed by lawyer and media figure Katie Phang. Phang sued Blanche for allegedly violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act by unlawfully redacting certain files.Blanche provided the court with an explanation as to why certain files were redacted, but Sullivan, doubting Blanche’s explanation, demanded he provide proof supporting his claims. Such a demand, as noted by Joyce Vance, former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, demonstrated how the Trump administration had all but gutted the key judicial principle known as the “presumption of regularity.”“It was commonly used to advance the idea that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, courts should presume government employees, including DOJ lawyers, acted properly in the execution of their duties. Now it’s on life support and Judge Sullivan’s order is another nail in its coffin,” Vance wrote in an analysis published Saturday on her Substack.“This most recent order suggests that Judge Sullivan doesn’t believe the government when it says something is the case, even when that ‘something’ is as simple as the identity of the person in a ‘to’ line in an email. But the government has acted like it has something to hide, even after Congress passed the Transparency Act and Trump signed it into law.”Specifically, Phang has raised doubts that redacted names on a handful of Epstein-related files were lawfully withheld. The Justice Department (DOJ) has claimed the redactions in question were permitted under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but Sullivan is refusing to take the DOJ at their word.“So the Judge isn’t accepting what the government has represented to it as truthful, and is requiring documentation to support its claims,” Vance wrote.“Under any other president, the Attorney General would have been disturbed by the suggestion prosecutors couldn’t be trusted. There would be disciplinary review. But here, the acting Attorney General is the defendant in the case. It’s paradigmatic of how far DOJ has fallen.”

Pentagon ignores widow after dropping husband’s name from soldier casualty list

A bereaved new widow could not gather the will to respond to news that the Pentagon had still not replaced the names of her husband and three other soldiers to the public casualty count of soldiers killed during President Donald Trump’s Iran war last weekend.The Pentagon’s official online list of service member casualties did not include the four soldiers despite the fact that their names were included in a Pentagon press release on the formal transfer of their remains back to the United States on Wednesday. CNN anchor Erin Burnett reported on Friday that a day after the Pentagon suddenly changed its casualty count in the Iraq war, the websites that tracks war casualties still had the wrong number posted with just 14 fatalities listed, despite 18 service members being killed in the Iraq war since Operation Epic. Fury began.Jamiah Gonzalez-Swinton, wife of Sgt. Michael Swinton, could barely offer reactions to the news, however, on CNN’s “Erin Burnett Out Front.”“Now, the Pentagon does say it's a glitch,” Burnett told Swinton. “Has anyone spoken to you about this or told you anything about it?”After a long pause while gathering her nerve, Swinton replied: Um, nobody. Nobody has reached out yet.”“Um. Wow. Um. I kind of don't have words for that,” Swinton added after another visible effort.Earlier in the interview, before collapsing into emotion, Swinton described Sgt. Michael Swinton as “a big mush ball” for his new daughter. “It was beautiful to see their bond. Their bond was so strong,” she said, adding that her last video with her husband was three days before his death, but that the conference “felt different.”“He just sounded different,” she told Burnett. “Like, I don't want to say he sounded scared, but the way he spoke, he, you know, he said that he loved me. He wanted to talk to our daughter, and he was asking me if I was okay. And the conversation didn't even last a minute. And I just I was like, man, even the time of day that he called was really early in the morning for him. And it wasn't like him to call at that time. So, it just, the whole thing just felt off.”“I know that you said in those final days he sounded exhausted. Do you think that that he knew that things really had just become so much more dangerous in these past days,” Burnett pressed.“Um, I didn't share this yet, but he had sent me a message and he said, ‘you know, if I die, just make sure that my kids know that I love them.’ And that was maybe a month before this happened. So, I think we all knew that things were getting pretty serious. I just didn't think this would be the outcome. I don't think any of us did,” Swinton said.Trump, who unilaterally started the war with Iran, has himself ducked the draft and military combat during the Vietnam War through numerous educational and then medical deferments. After graduation in 1968, he avoided military service with a 1-Y medical deferment, which he said was due to a problem with his foot, earning him the name “Captain Bone Spurs” among critics. - YouTube youtu.be

Psychologist reveals the signs Trump is 'raging, confused, & unraveling'

President Donald Trump came across as "raging, confused, and unraveling" during his recent speech on live television, according to one forensic psychologist, who spotlighted all the signs of his decline and "strange behavior" he showed during the "somewhat unusual" address.Dr. John Paul Garrison is a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist with a specialty in body language, who has also released numerous videos extensively documenting "President Trump's mental decline, his strange brain glitches [and] his odd behaviors," which he argued have been getting "progressively worse." All of this, he added, was on display during his speech at the recent White House Correspondents' Dinner.To start, Garrison showed a segment of the speech where Trump repeatedly attacked the intelligence of former CNN host Don Lemon, saying that he has "the lowest IQ on television." At one point during this bit, Trump said, "But I know what I'm saying," to which Garrison said he could not "figure out what on earth that's in reference to or what it's supposed to mean.""I think that we are hearing internal thoughts out loud. I think there's a lot of confusion," Garrison said. "So this is concerning on a couple of levels. One is that he's saying things that make no sense. And two, he seems unaware that he said it."Garrison then noted several instances of Trump struggling to speak clearly, including a rare instance where he appeared to correct himself after noticing that he slurred a certain word, which the psychologist said he "frequently does not" manage to do. He also noted instances where Trump showed obvious signs of struggling with his speech, despite having a teleprompter to work off of."He cannot get full sentences out. He gets distracted mid-sentence," he explained, later adding, "Now, Trump is someone who does tend to go off script a little bit, but he's rambling more. He's mumbling more to himself."The slurring of words only became more pronounced the longer Trump spoke, with Garrison noting that his stumbles were becoming more frequent at just the halfway point of the speech as he struggled "to keep his energy up."Later, during remarks about Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, Garrison noted that Trump showed further signs of "agitation" and "anger, adding that "he's very mean-spirited throughout a lot of this." He also showed signs of struggling to "make sense" of what he needed to say, something he used to excel at during public addresses. "See, there was supposed to be a joke in there, but he couldn't get to the punchline. He's struggling to make sense of what he is supposed to say," Garrison explained. "And historically, he's somebody that could talk off the cuff a little bit. He might make a joke out of what they're talking about. And he does that a little bit here, but in general, he's getting lost and then just meandering. He understands it to a degree, but there is an underlying thread of confusion about the different lines he's delivering."He concluded later: "We saw someone who was raging, impulsive. His judgment was bad. There were so many problems throughout the speech. He was confused so many times. I do not think he knew half the time what he was reading. And unfortunately, I think that this is only going to get worse. I think in the next 6 to 8 months, we're going to see a dramatic change in the way that he presents based on everything that we saw today and everything we've been seeing for the past few months."

Karoline Leavitt's snippy putdown makes startling Epstein reveal: analyst

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's one-word answer was flagged Saturday as a clear sign of the damage Jeffrey Epstein has wreaked on MAGA.Asked whether President Donald Trump or his administration planned to intervene in the UK extradition case against Andrew and Tristan Tate, Leavitt replied flatly: "No." The i Paper columnist Sarah Baxter argued Saturday that the single syllable reveals how thoroughly Trump's ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein have depleted his political capital. The president, she wrote, can no longer afford to spend it defending a pair of accused sex abusers — despite them being major allies.Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed the posture a day earlier from the Philippines. "There's no role for us to play at this moment or maybe ever in that regard," Rubio told reporters, according to Axios.The cold shoulder marks a striking reversal. In February 2025, the Financial Times reported that Trump officials pressured Romania to ease travel restrictions on the Tates, and days later the brothers boarded a private jet to Fort Lauderdale.The Tates, dual British-American citizens, were arrested by U.S. Marshals in Miami on July 18 after British prosecutors filed 38 new sex-crime charges, bringing their combined total to 59 counts. Andrew Tate faces 42 charges including rape, sex trafficking and offenses relating to indecent images of a child; Tristan Tate faces 17.Their lawyer, Joseph McBride, who previously represented January 6 defendants, has tried to press familiar buttons. He wrote on X that the brothers were being held as "political prisoners on American soil" in solitary confinement. Andrew Tate himself claimed he was locked in a unit next to "a cannibal who screams throughout the night."None of it has moved the administration.On Capitol Hill, Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ), a House Oversight Committee member, sent a letter to Chair James Comer this week requesting an investigation into "potential political interference" surrounding the Tates' case. Ansari also asked that Barron Trump be called to testify about any knowledge of the brothers' alleged crimes. A spokesperson for the Tates has previously called reports linking Barron to Andrew Tate fake news.
