[Jonathon Turley] In Washington, Democratic politicians are calling for a congressional investigation, while in New York; the Writers’ Guild is asking New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) for a state probe. No, the issue is not the use of the autopen by Biden staff to carry out presidential functions or the crisis in public education. No, it is the cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" by CBS.
The outrage over the show’s cancellation is the latest example of presumed entitlement from the left, which suggests that the government, universities, and corporations should subsidize their preferred news and entertainment. Call it the NPR syndrome.
I wrote this weekend about the withdrawal of the government subsidy for NPR and the outrage of its overwhelmingly white, affluent, and liberal audience. Democrats in Congress and NPR’s shrinking listeners were appalled that the American taxpayers would not be required to fund the overwhelmingly liberal outlet. It appears that they are entitled to such federal money even though NPR is dropping in both its audience and revenues.
The outrage of Democratic politicians is hardly surprising. Like NPR, The Late Night Show was used to amplify Democratic talking points. Some of those objecting the loudest were favored guests. Indeed, the show had long ago traded the comedic stylings of prior guests like George Carlin and Don Rickles for the knee-slapping standups of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D., Cal.).
As Joe Concha recently noted, Warren, 76, appeared 16 times during the show’s ten-year run.
He offered a funereal opening after Trump’s election:

I don’t think Letisha is interested in that type of political stunt at the moment.

[ZERO] Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says she'll release more information next week to follow up on her bombshell declassification of documents that show "overwhelming evidence" of the Obama administration laid the groundwork for the years-long Trump-Russia collusion investigation after President Trump won the 2016 election.
"We will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place, and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people, hidden from officials who would be in a position to do something about it," Gabbard told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "Accountability is essential for the future of our country, for the American people to have any sense of trust in the integrity of our democratic republic."
"Accountability, action, prosecution, indictments for those who are responsible for trying to steal our democracy is essential for us to make sure that this never happens to our country again," Gabbard continued.

[FoxNews] Former Obama officials accused of manufacturing Russia collusion narrative to undermine Trump presidency
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard detailed "striking" findings from declassified documents released Friday, claiming to showcase "overwhelming evidence" that an Obama-era cabal laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe after the 2016 election.
"The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic," Gabbard said on this week's "Sunday Morning Futures."
"Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic," she continued.
Documents shared by Gabbard's office claimed that before the 2016 election, there was no evidence showing Russia tried to directly alter vote counts. However, members of the intelligence community later suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help Trump win. Gabbard argues the narrative shift was politically motivated rather than based on new findings.
"Creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to ‘hack the United States election,’" Gabbard told host Maria Bartiromo.
"So the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people."
Evidence released by Gabbard's office implicated then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others, in addition to the former president.
Gabbard confirmed her intent to send all the uncovered documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI for a criminal referral.
When asked if she expects to see prosecutions, she vowed to do "all that [she] can" to ensure accountability.
"We have whistleblowers, actually, coming forward now after we released these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community at this time who were so disgusted by what happened," she shared.
"We're starting to see some of them come out of the woodwork here because they… want to see justice delivered… there must be indictments. Those responsible, no matter how powerful they are and were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the American people, they all must be held accountable."
Some Democrats, including Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, who is the top member of his party on the House Intelligence Committee, have criticized Gabbard's claims as "baseless."
Fox News Digital previously reached out to Obama, representatives for the former president, Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Rice, Lynch and McCabe for comment and did not receive a response.

[X] Simple reminder that while Adam Schiff has been criminally referred to the DOJ for mortgage fraud, he has much bigger problems coming his way.
Here is Kash Patel, the Director of the FBI calling Shifty Schiff ''the worst criminal in Congress in the last 250 years,'' and calling for an investigation into Schiff BEFORE he was Director of the FBI.
Combine this with John Solomon's recent story that the FBI has opened a grand conspiracy probe into the Russiagate hoaxers, and I think it's a safe bet that Schiff's time as a free man is running out. Listen to what he says about Schiff in this clip:
''Talk about someone who was conflicted out of the game, because he was part of the hoax that brought Ciaramella in, manufactured that false accusation, and then peddled it out to the world— Now he lied just to set up a presidential impeachment—
So their job was to get the man. If Adam Schiff isn't investigated for this—
He should be investigated because he lied to the world about his interactions with Ciaramella, who is a whistleblower that started a presidential impeachment.''
Now - considering all that - do you really think Adam Schiff is not gonna get rolled up in this grand conspiracy probe?

[FoxNews] Sen. Ernst slams 'blowout summer pool party' spending as Trump administration vows to end wasteful expenditures
The Biden administration's State Department authorized more than $1 million in taxpayer funds for renovating swimming pools at U.S. embassies and mission residences in war-torn countries such as Haiti, Sudan and Iraq, a report from Sen. Joni Ernst's office found. Can you imagine how much chlorine you'd have to use to treat the water in Haiti, Sudan and Iraq
"The Biden State Department threw a blowout summer pool party on your dime," Ernst, R-Iowa, said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
"Bureaucrats might think wasting millions is a drop in the bucket, but I am sick and tired of taxpayers getting tossed in the deep end by Washington," Ernst added. "I will continue working with the Trump administration to put a stop to the splashy spending of the Biden years."
Ernst's office found that the State Department under the Biden administration authorized that two pools in Haiti, five in Iraq, three in Sudan, one in Russia, one in Zimbabwe and one in Ghana be renovated, totaling more than $1.2 million, according to the New York Post, which first reported on the pool renovations on Thursday.
Details at the link.
The federal government has previously been criticized for the amount of taxpayer funds spent on U.S. embassies overseas, including spending hefty sums on artwork under the Obama administration, Fox Digital reported at the time.
U.S. embassies are primarily funded through congressional appropriations to the U.S. Department of State.
Ernst's report follows months of the Department of Government Efficiency reporting it has saved the federal government billions of dollars amid its ongoing investigations into various federal agencies in search of corruption, overspending and mismanagement.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been at the forefront of gutting departments and programs under State's purview, including shuttering USAID earlier in July for failing to ensure its programs actually supported America's interests.

This swimming pool initiative confuses me in that I can’t see how it forwards the all-encompassing DEI agenda which was the sole priority of the Biden Admin. Maybe somebody knew somebody and this was just a low level grift.

They cut 80% of the programs, which made it small enough that State could handle it with their diminishing staff count — not just downsized but putting effort where it mostly ought to be, just as intended.
And taking the power to disburse funds out of the hands of the hopelessly corrupt. That part is really important.
won the Minneapolis DFL endorsement for city mayor over incumbent Jacob Frey at a convention at Target Center on Saturday
Fateh, a democratic socialist [4 or 5 Socialists will be on the Nov 4 ballot for Mayor of Minneapolis], is running on a platform including rent stabilization, boosting affordable housing, introducing a local income tax for the wealthy, and adopting a "compassionate approach" to homeless encampments.
Even further left than Mr. Frey? Let us wish Minneapolis full joy from the natural consequences of their principled idiocy, so long as we don’t have to pay to clean up the mess until they outgrow it.

Socialism does not seem to be working out the way that Pol pot thought it would. Seems very city based and privileged.

I'm reminded of Lincoln's quote that "Every man over 40 is responsible for what he looks like."
This one looks like "cross the street, don't make eye contact with the crazy person".
[Breitbart] Executives are using a 1990 law to import another 85,000 mixed skill, lottery picked, contract worker, foreign graduates for U.S. white collar jobs — despite high unemployment among the nation’s young college grads.
The 2025 inflow was announced Friday by an agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS): “U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS] has received enough petitions to reach the congressionally mandated 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap and the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, known as the master’s cap, for fiscal year 2026.”
But the same agency also announced on Thursday it is drafting a regulation to change how companies import the H-1B workers.
Fair enough. To slam the thing to a full stop without allowing for planning and transition would be too disruptive, given this crop must have been planned by the employers last year. So long as next year is different.
The cryptic announcement merely said: “Weighted Selection Process for Registrants and Petitioners Seeking To File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions.” The announcement did not provide a schedule or a description of the draft regulation, but the rules may match the short-lived reforms set by President Donald Trump’s deputies in 2021.
The new regulation “is a good idea,” said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers, which advocates for U.S. professionals. For example, a Trump-style regulation that allocates visas to companies offering higher pay would “make it less predatory towards more ordinary tech workers and [to new] graduates entering STEM fields,” he said.
USCIS officials recently narrowed the white-collar TN visa worker program, ending its use by foreign doctors, computer experts, welders, and electricians.

It's been a scam for 50 years to keep wages down. Grow your own? Why bother to put in the effort if you are simply going to be replaced in this manner.
Tell me again why you support re-industrializing America by bring back home production when you allow this happen to your workers?

Bringing in VISA workers may be the only solution for the upcoming generation ____'s survival.
Given the Smartphone, has raised 2 generations, with so many now too lazy to even go into a store to shop.
Heck, many fast food places around here have gone to Computer Ordering and E-pay now, because this generation is too lazy or won't work weekends, or walks off with the $$$$ mid-shift.
IF they even basic math skills to make change for a dollar.

^ Keep in mind today's generation is working for a lot of woke f-cks and hippies from our days. I owned my own business for 40 years. In that time I had some younger staff out work me and some who didn't. Kids today are no different from the 70's, 80's or 90's, the elders always complained about the lazy. They haven't had to endure the atomic bomb drills in school but they have seen the bad side of the internet. I am very positive about the kids coming out of midwest colleges. Today's medical and engineering students are getting world class educations. It's their woke employers who cause the problems.
