[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Parents in a Boston exurb have reacted angrily to revelations that schools are axing buses for local children — but keeping them running for the kids of migrants and asylum seekers.
Some 150 students at Stoughton Public Schools are scrambling to find ways to get to school from September 4, after the district cut services due to a lack of funding.
Controversially, the hundreds of migrant and asylum seeker families living in the town of Stoughton will still get school-buses, thanks to funding from the state.
The scrapping of buses for local kids comes amid fears that Massachusetts is going broke and will lose $1.8 billion over the next two years due to migrant costs.
Boston radio host Jeff Kuhner said the Democrat-run state was 'prioritizing illegals over citizens' and that the busing change amounted to 'treason.'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The White House on Monday revealed who is running the country with President Joe Biden on his second week of vacation.
'You know better than that,' National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby scolded the reporter who asked who was running the country.
'The president is on vacation, but you can never unplug and from a job like that. Nor does he try to,' Kirby said in a zoom briefing with reporters.
'He's very much in command,' he noted of Biden.
He pointed out Biden spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday and talked to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday as proof the president is working.
Did he say anything sensible and substantive, or was he doing the dementia mumble thing again?
Biden, 81, is at his beach home in Rehoboth, Delaware, after spending a week at a private 8,000 acre ranch in Santa Ynez, Calif. He is scheduled to return to the White House after Labor Day weekend.
Vice President Kamala Harris is in Washington D.C. with nothing on her public schedule until Wednesday, when she heads to Georgia for a two-day bus trip to campaign in the state.

The great pretending is becoming pure farce, as Jojo doesn't seem to even try to act Presidential during his juiced-semi lucid moments.
The White House has become a hospice with great security, travel and medical benefits. That no one really cares that we have no actual functioning President is a testament to how deep the cancer of power and partisanship has gone in the national body politic.
[FoxNews] 16 Republican attorneys general sued over the policy on Friday.
The Biden administration’s efforts to grant a pathway to citizenship to some illegal immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens have been put on hold temporarily by a federal judge after a lawsuit from 16 Republican-led states.
U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker on Monday put a stay on the "parole in place" program, which was announced in June and allows for humanitarian parole and a path to permanent residency for certain illegal immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens without them having to leave the country.
The 16 states, led by Texas and America First Legal, argued in a filing first reported by Fox News Digital that the rule violates federal law, which prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining immigration benefits, including permanent status, without first having left the country and being readmitted.
They argued it does that by an unlawful use of parole, which is limited to use on a "case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit."
"Biden's unconstitutional scheme would have rewarded over 1 million illegal aliens with the opportunity for citizenship after breaking our country's laws—and incentivized countless more," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
The administration had estimated that about 500,000 immigrants would benefit, and about 50,000 children.
The new process would have applied to noncitizen spouses who have lived in the U.S. for 10 years as of June and are judged not to pose a threat to public safety or national security, allowing them to apply for permanent residency. It argued that families live in fear and "face deep uncertainty about their future" due to the requirement that they depart and be processed abroad.
"In addition, individuals must have no disqualifying criminal history or otherwise constitute a threat to national security or public safety and should otherwise merit a favorable exercise of discretion," a fact sheet said.
The stay will last for two weeks but can be extended. Barker is a judge appointed by former President Donald Trump.

I must admit I have trouble following all these stories about Facebook and, now, Telegram. On the one hand, they are the ones who built their platforms so they should be able to run them as the please. OTOH, they enable pedophiles and narco terrorists. I dunno, somehow I think the authorities should be able to go after the pedophiles and narco terrorists without impinging on the rights of the platform owners, if the FBI and/or Interpol were really interested in doing their jobs instead of harassing and persecuting the regime's political opponents.
So what is the difference between Zuckerberg and Zurov? Is it that Zuckerberg plays nice with the regime and Zurov doesn't?

[PJMedia] Here we go again. On Tuesday afternoon, special counsel Jack Smith filed a new indictment against Trump related to alleged interference in the 2020 election.
Filing indictments against President Trump is what he was hired to do: with great fanfare, keep throwing spaghetti against the wall in the hope that some of it will stick long enough to prevent Trump from winning the election in November.
"Today, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned a superseding indictment, ECF No. 226, charging the defendant with the same criminal offenses that were charged in the original indictment," Smith wrote in a filing notice. "The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions in Trump v. United States."
According to the Justice Department website, "If an indictment is dismissed because of legal defect or grand jury irregularity, the government may return a new indictment within six months of the date of dismissal or within the original limitation period (whichever is later). After the original limitation period has expired, a superseding indictment may narrow, but not broaden, the charges made in the original indictment."
The narrowed indictment reflects last month's Supreme Court ruling that granted presidents wide immunity from prosecution for actions taken while in office. That ruling sent the case back to the lower court for adjudication.
Among other things, the new indictment removes the charge that Trump sought to use the Department of Justice to overturn the election—something the Supreme Court explicitly singled out in Trump v. United States.
"Because the President cannot be prosecuted for conduct within his exclusive constitutional authority, Trump is absolutely immune from prosecution for the alleged conduct involving his discussions with Justice Department officials," the justices wrote.
According to Smith, "The Government does not oppose waiver of the defendant’s appearance for arraignment on the superseding indictment. As this Court directed, ECF No. 197, the Government will confer with the defense and make a joint proposal, to the extent possible, regarding pretrial litigation in the status report due Friday." How is this fucker still drawing breath, let alone a paycheck?
He is a creature of the Deep State, which protects its own.

Mr. Smith has already ruined his career as a DA.
His only hope of earning a living is to claim to write a book and get paid a few $$Million for something no one reads, as is the typical reward for being the Elite Lefts Puppet.

Jack Smith is a hero/sex symbol to many leftards.
He should enjoy that for a few years.

No, dear 49 Pan. War on Terror is specifically jihadis, narco gangs, and Antifa/Black Bloc.
What Mr.Smith is engaged in belongs under Seedy Politics: Government Corruption. Before Fred had set up that page and category it would have been filed under Non-WoT and Lurid Crimes.
I don’t believe so. But his employers have been ignoring laws which forbid the things they want to do, and will continue to do so until a Republican president takes over.
[Breitbart] Election officials in Clark County, Nevada, which encompasses Las Vegas, have been forced to investigate residents registered to vote at strip clubs, casinos, gas stations, and other commercial business addresses.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) discovered that many residents in Clark County had listed commercial businesses as their addresses on their voter registrations. The issue is significant in Nevada because the election officials mail out ballots to all registered voters in the state.
[10News] "But I really Wanna!!"
Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed an appeal to Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of the federal classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.
In a filing submitted Monday to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, Smith argued that Cannon's decision "deviated from binding Supreme Court precedent, misconstrued the statutes that authorized the Special Counsel’s appointment, and took inadequate account of the longstanding history of Attorney General appointments of special counsels."
In July, Cannon dismissed all charges in the federal court case in Florida against Trump for his alleged involvement in taking classified documents with him to his Mar-a-Lago residence after leaving office.
Cannon agreed with Trump's lawyers that the Department of Justice's appointing Smith was "unlawful" for violating the "appointments clause."
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas appeared to give strength to the argument when he wrote a concurring opinion in a case involving presidential immunity.
"A private citizen cannot criminally prosecute anyone, let alone a former President," Thomas wrote. "No former President has faced criminal prosecution for his acts while in office in the more than 200 years since the founding of our country. And, that is so despite numerous past Presidents taking actions that many would argue constitute crimes. If this unprecedented prosecution is to proceed, it must be conducted by someone duly authorized to do so by the American people. The lower courts should thus answer these essential questions concerning the Special Counsel’s appointment before proceeding."
The Department of Justice has a longstanding policy of resisting political influence on investigations involving major political figures. It has been customary for the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel in such cases. A special counsel was also picked in the Department of Justice's investigation into President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden. Jack Smith was not a DOJ Atty nor was he approved by the Senate
Prior to Cannon dismissing the charges, Trump faced 40 criminal counts. Personal aide Walt Nauta faced eight counts while Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira had four counts against him. Their charges were also dismissed.
[Fox News via Red State] Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on "Fox News Sunday" to talk about his plans to partner with Donald Trump to "Make America Healthy Again." Host Shannon Bream asked RFK Jr. if he wants to dismantle the federal government agencies (allegedly) related to public health - FDA, NIH, and CDC. In his response, he pointed out some harsh truths about how those agencies function that more Americans need to be aware of:
"I wouldn't dismantle them. I would change the focus, and I would end the corruption. Right now, 75 percent of FDA’s budget is coming from pharmaceutical companies. That is a perverse incentive."
"In NIH, the - scientists and officials at NIH who work on drug development, incubate drugs for the pharmaceutical company, get to collect lifetime royalties from those products. These are regulators. They’re supposed to be looking for problems in those products.
"We have these agencies that have become sock puppets for the industries they’re supposed to regulate, so they're not really interested in public health.
"The most profitable thing today in America is a sick child. Everybody’s making money - the hospitals are making money, the pharmaceutical companies are making money; even the insurance companies make money.
"We need to end those perverse incentives, we need to get the corruption out of the FDA, out of NIH, out of the CDC, and make them function as they're supposed to function, which is to protect public health and to protect childrens' health."
Prior to COVID lockdowns and forced vaccinations, there was already a movement looking for political leaders who would do the things that RFK Jr. spoke about in this segment, and after what we saw the "public health" officials do during the COVID time frame that movement has only grown. By having RFK Jr. campaign for Trump on these issues, the Trump/Vance ticket can gain a significant segment of these voters, many of whom might not have already been on the Trump train. As Bobby is saying, winning this election (and saving America) is about growing a coalition, and he's really hit the ground running.

[LI] Democrats protest. Now prosecute and deport the Illegals!
The number includes over 500,000 dead people and 6,500 illegal aliens.
As we read here yesterday, the other side has dedicated teams labouring to reregister all those deleted. So repeated passes up through election day may be necessary.
[BREITBART] The Republican National Committee (RNC) is accusing bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... , Michigan’s election commission of hiring more Democrat than Republican poll workers as the presidential election approaches.
The RNC has slapped the Election Commission of the City of Detroit with a lawsuit that alleges officials broke state law by hiring over seven times more Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... than Republicans for those roles, Fox News reported on Friday.
The outlet continued:
Michigan requires that the board of election commissioners "shall appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors in each election precinct from each major political party," according to Section 168.74 of the state’s election law.
However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... the city of Detroit hired about 2,300 Democratic poll workers and only about 300 Republican election inspectors for the state’s 2024 primary election, according to the Detroit Election Commission Report cited in the lawsuit.
In a statement to Fox News, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump stated, "Detroit’s failure to hire Republican poll workers is the kind of bad-faith Democrat interference that drives down faith in elections."
It is important to note that the RNC and Trump campaign recently surpassed 150,000 poll watchers and workers after setting a goal of 100,000 for their election integrity program, according to Breitbart News:
The RNC and Trump campaign announced the launch of the massive election integrity program earlier in 2024, describing it as the "most extensive and monumental election integrity program in the nation’s history."
