Shots fired into Kamala Harris'' Arizona campaign office, cops investigating: ''Raises concerns''
[NYPOST] Shots were fired at Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign office in Arizona, police said — just over a week after a second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.
Was Jussie Smollett in the area at the time?
Damage from several bullets, fired sometime after midnight on Monday, was discovered at the Democratic National Committee campaign office near Southern Avenue and Priest Drive in Tempe, the Tempe Police Department told The Post.

''No one was inside the office during the overnight hours, but this raises concerns about the safety of those who work in that building, as well as those nearby,'' said Public Information Officer Sgt. Ryan Cook.

Ryan Wesley Routh faces new charge of attempted assassination of Trump after initial gun rap; son arrested for possessing child pr0n
[NYPOST] Ryan Wesley Routh was charged Tuesday with the attempted liquidation of Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
after the alleged gunman staked out the former president's Florida golf course earlier this month.

Routh, 58, was indicted on the new federal charge of attempted liquidation of a major presidential candidate after he was previously slapped with weapons charges, the US Attorney's Office said Tuesday.

The high-profile case was assigned to Trump-appointed US District Judge Aileen Cannon, CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
reported.

Cannon tossed a separate federal criminal case against Trump in July that was brought by special prosecutor Jack Smith over allegations the ex-commander in chief illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago mansion.

The latest charge was brought against Routh one day after prosecutors released a letter penned by the accused would-be assassin in which he allegedly admitted he was going to try to kill Trump.
I read somewhere — no link, sorry — that Mr. Routh’s cell phone showed that he’d actually been waiting for President Trump to appear at the golf course for something like a week. So it wasn’t that he happened to get lucky on that day, but that he knew the president frequently golfed at the course across from Mar-a-Lago whenever he had the chance, and kept going back until he showed up.

Planting evidence on someone's computer is not unpossible and can be as easy as sending an email with an attachment. In this case, the Feebs allegedly found an SD card with the forbidden content.

A suspicious person might wonder if this was a play to get some influence over Dad and keep him from spilling the beans.

Cyber
Is This Why You Can't Get a Tor Connection Anymore?
[GatewayPundit] U.S. Capitol Hit by Large-Scale Dark Web Cyber Attack, Passwords Leaked Through Staffers Signing Up for “Adult Websites” and “Dating Apps”
Arrogant idiots, all.
Over 3,000 congressional staffers’ personal information has been leaked across the dark web in a wide-scale cyberattack on the Capitol.

Switzerland based security firm Proton, disovered 1,800 passwords used by staffers at the Capitol are avaible on the dark web.

In an investigation, Proton along with the the United States based firm Constella Intelligence, revealed 1 in 5 congressional staffers had personal information exposed on teh dark web.

In the report, Proton shared, the leaks made their way to the dark web through several sorces such as adult websites, social media and dating apps.

In a statement to The Washington Times, Proton stated, “Many of these leaks likely occurred because staffers used their official email addresses to sign up for various services, including high-risk sites such as dating and adult websites, which were later compromised in data breaches.”

NYC Schools Chancellor David Banks to step down in latest Adams admin turmoil
[NYPOST] The embattled head of New York City schools is expected to step down as Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
' administration contends with a leadership shakeup in the face of swirling federal investigations.

David Banks will retire from his post as the schools chancellor by the end of this year, sources said.

The chancellor had met with Adams in Gracie Mansion and informed the mayor of his plans to retire, sources said and according to his retirement letter obtained by The Post.

NY Politics: Ex-NYS judge, prosecutor kills himself after shootout with FBI agents who arrived to arrest him on corruption charges: report
[NY Post] A retired upstate New York county judge and former prosecutor allegedly shot himself to death Tuesday morning as FBI agents moved in to arrest him on corruption charges, according to reports.

Stewart Rosenwasser, who has been embroiled in a sordid federal bribery scandal, allegedly opened fire on the agents as they approached his Orange County home before his death by apparent suicide shortly after 9:30 am, the Albany Times-Union reported Tuesday.

Sources told The Post that an indictment naming Rosenwasser was handed down this week.

"As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide," the statement said.

Rosenwasser was accused of pocketing $63,000 in bribes from Mout’z Soudani, who was the victim in an embezzlement case he prosecuted in 2022, the outlet said.

The feds allege Rosenwasser accepted the bribes to investigate and prosecute two relatives of Soudani who were involved in the $1.9 million embezzlement case — and later pleaded guilty to grand larceny.

The two — nephew Martin Soudani and his sister Eman Soudani — filed a $22.5 million lawsuit to have the convictions overturned, claiming the case was tainted by the bribes.

In court filings in the lawsuit reviewed by the Times-Union, the alleged bribery scheme "may present the most blatant example of prosecutorial corruption and fraud in the annals of New York case law."

In an email to The Post on Tuesday, Rosenwasser’s son, Jason, asked for privacy for the family but cast doubt on reports that his dad committed suicide.

"The only thing I feel compelled to point out is that the local news headlines are reporting that my father fatally shot himself while also reporting in the same article that the FBI field office issued a statement calling it an agent involved shooting," he wrote.

The scandal, which saw the feds raid his home in July, forced him to resign from the DA’s Office.

Biden-Harris irresponsible legacy: Debt is 100% of GDP, highest since WWII
[NYPOST] Under Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Gave an airbase and billions in military hardware to the Taliban and called it an extraordinary success...
and Kamala Harris
What can be, unburdened by what has been
, federal spending and debt are at the highest levels in US history outside of wars and recessions. Here's how public-held debt has compared to the Gross Domestic Product dating back to 1790. This year debt will hit 100% of GDP, a level seen only once before, at the end of WWII. NY Post composite

The presidential campaign season is once again turning politicians into pandering game show hosts, promising voters huge tax cuts and spending expansions with no regard to the debt crisis these policies will accelerate.

Budget deficits are set to exceed $2 trillion this year — despite relative peace and prosperity — and then surge to $4 trillion within a decade under current policies.

For the first time since the end of World War II, the federal debt will top 100% of the gross domestic product.

The impending completion of the Biden-Harris administration brings an opportunity to assess their role in these rising deficits.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris surely inherited an economic and fiscal mess. President Trump had already signed legislation and executive orders adding $4 trillion to 10-year deficits before the bipartisan pandemic response added $4 trillion more.

International-UN-NGOs
Biden set to announced donation of one million doses of mpox vaccine and $500m to halt outbreak
So generous with other peoples’ money. Because why not add another straw to the camel’s back?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] US President Joe Biden is set to announce the donation of one million mpox vaccine doses and at least $500 million to African countries to support their response to the outbreak today.

Biden will make the announcement in New York, where he is attending the United Nations General Assembly, and call on other countries to follow suit, according to a senior administration official.

In August, the World Health Organization declared mpox a global public health emergency for the second time in two years, following an outbreak of the viral infection in Democratic Republic of Congo that has spread to neighboring countries and beyond, including India, raising alarm.

'It wouldn't be a huge surprise if there were a case in the United States, either,' the official said, noting that recent cuts in pandemic support by Congress may hamper a domestic response.

'We're really squeezing right now to be able to respond effectively in this moment. And I think anticipating potentially additional cuts in the future will make it more and more difficult for us to have a robust response to these types of outbreaks.'

Mpox can spread through close contact. Usually mild, it is fatal in rare cases. It causes flu-like symptoms and pus-filled lesions on the body.

The outbreak in Congo began with the spread of an endemic strain, known as clade I. But a new variant, clade Ib, appears to spread more easily through routine close contact, including sexual contact.

The expectation is that the US-donated doses will be of the Bavarian Nordic vaccine known as Jynneos in the United States, and many will come from a stockpile in the United States.

The one million doses is in addition to the 60,000 previously donated shots.

The US official said the administration expects Gavi, a public-private alliance which co-funds vaccine purchases for low-income countries, to distribute the donated vaccines.

'We feel really strongly that Gavi is the multilateral institution that is best positioned to procure and equitably distribute vaccines,' the official said.

Last week, Gavi said it will buy 500,000 doses of Bavarian Nordic's vaccine, its first purchase to help battle the outbreak.

The Biden administration is also pushing for more vaccines to be manufactured in low and middle-income countries, and is working with Brazil to identify how the Group of 20 club of nations can support the mpox response.

There is not currently a manufacturer in Africa that is able to make the complex drug substance needed to make the vaccine, the US official said.

If i wore a cynic's hat, I'd say that there was a failure to sell the Monkeypoxalypse to land so spend a bunch of other peoples' money to buy up the shortfall, add a tagline of $500million to funnel to those local NGOs, and buy a headline for cover which looks magnanimous.

Say....sure sounds a lot like using US$ to buy foreign press to influence US elections.
