Congressional Republicans Look Into Kamala's National Security Adviser Who Has
Close Ties To Iran



Congressional Republicans are investigating Kamala Harris's national security
adviser, Philip Gordon, for potential connections to an Iranian influence
operation.

Rep. Elise Stefanik and Sen. Tom Cotton have written a letter to the vice
president demanding answers about Gordon's ties to the campaign, which also
involved suspended Iranian special envoy Robert Malley and his aide Ariane
Tabatabai.

Tabatabai, who co-authored op-eds with Gordon, helped found the Iran Experts
Initiative and was involved in a covert campaign to smear an Iranian opposition
group.

The lawmakers allege that Gordon has promoted pro-Iranian perspectives and
has been associated with the National Iranian American Council, another alleged
Iranian influence organization.

The investigation comes amid broader concerns about Iranian influence in the
U.S. government, including an ongoing FBI and State Department investigation
into Malley for allegedly passing classified material to Tehran.

Stefanik and Cotton have requested details about Gordon's security clearance
and any investigations into his connections by August 9. Read More.

Sen. Mark Kelly's Chinese Vitamin Pitch Resurfaces as VP Rumors Swirl


Sen. Mark Kelly's past involvement in promoting Shaklee vitamins in China has
resurfaced amid speculation about his potential vice presidential candidacy.

In 2015, Kelly made a dramatic entrance at a Chinese event to promote Shaklee
vitamins, claiming he used them while in space.

Kelly earned significant money speaking on behalf of Shaklee between 2011 and
2016. In 2011, he made $50,000 from the company.

Kelly’s involvement with the company raises questions about the
appropriateness of an astronaut and potential vice presidential candidate
promoting multi-level marketing products.

Kelly's previous Senate campaign defended his involvement, citing NASA's use
of Shaklee products on space flights. Read More.

Ohio Cleans Up Voter Rolls By Axing Hundreds Of Noncitizens In Pre-Election
Audit



Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is removing 499 noncitizens from state
voter rolls following an election-year audit.

The individuals were identified through a combination of Ohio Bureau of Motor
Vehicles data and the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements
(SAVE) database.

LaRose emphasizes that only U.S. citizens can participate in Ohio elections,
and his office is duty-bound to remove ineligible registrations.

The audit process is ongoing, and more voter roll purges may be announced as
Election Day approaches.

Ohio has also removed nearly 155,000 registrations confirmed to be abandoned
and inactive for at least four consecutive years. Read More.

Chuck Schumer Leads Charge On “No Kings Act” To Counter SCOTUS’ Presidential
Immunity Ruling


Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced the "No Kings Act" to try and
strip former President Trump and future presidents of broad immunity from
prosecution for official acts.

The bill, supported by 34 Senate Democrats, comes in response to a recent
Supreme Court decision granting Trump extensive immunity.

The legislation argues that presidents and vice presidents are not immune from
federal criminal law violations and redirects constitutional challenges to the
D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals instead of the Supreme Court.

While the bill has no realistic chance of passing due to Republican
opposition, Schumer introduced it to protest the Supreme Court's ruling.

The proposed law would allow federal prosecutors to bring charges against a
president or vice president in any U.S. district court or the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia. Read More.

Olympic Controversy Erupts as Italian Boxer Faces Opponent Previously
Disqualified For Gender Test Failure



Italian boxer Angela Carini lasted only 46 seconds in an Olympic match against
Algerian fighter Imane Khelif, who was previously disqualified from a world
championship for failing gender-eligibility tests.

The International Olympic Committee cleared Khelif to compete despite the
previous disqualification, stating that all competitors in the women's category
meet eligibility rules.

Carini abandoned the bout due to the intensity of her competitor’s punches,
stating she had “never been punched so hard” in her life.

The match highlights issues over male athletes who identify as women competing
in women's sports categories.

The Algerian Olympic Committee defended Khelif against criticism, calling it
"unethical targeting" and "baseless propaganda."

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni voiced concern about the fairness and
potential danger of the contest, suggesting that attempts to avoid
discrimination against transgender individuals lead to discrimination against
women. Read More.

U.S.-Russia Prisoner Swap Frees WSJ’s Evan Gershkovich And Others



The Wall Street Journal has praised the release of three Americans, including
reporter Evan Gershkovich, as part of a historic prisoner swap between Russia
and the United States.

A total of 24 prisoners from seven different countries were freed in what is
being called the largest East-West inmate exchange since the Cold War era.

The exchange occurred in Ankara, Turkey, and included the release of former
marine Paul Whelan and Russian-American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva.

The Wall Street Journal's Editor-in-Chief, Emma Tucker, and CEO Almar Latour
expressed relief and gratitude for Gershkovich's release while condemning
Russia's actions.

The swap involved complex negotiations with multiple countries, including
involvement from the White House, diplomats, and the CIA.

The release also included seven Russian opposition figures who were
incarcerated in their homeland. Read More.

Argentina's AI Crime Prediction Unit Sparks Human Rights Concerns



Argentina's President Javier Milei has created an Artificial Intelligence
Applied to Security Unit to predict future crimes using machine-learning
algorithms.

The unit will also use facial recognition software, patrol social media, and
analyze security camera footage to detect suspicious activities.

The move is part of Milei's hardline approach to tackling crime.

Human rights organizations and activists are concerned that this technology
could infringe on citizens' rights and overly scrutinize certain groups.

Amnesty International warned that large-scale surveillance could affect
freedom of expression by encouraging self-censorship.

The Argentine Ministry of Security claims the new unit will operate within
the current legislative framework, including the Personal Information
Protection Act. Read More.

Maduro Defiant As Venezuela Plunges Into Post-Election Crisis Amid
International Condemnation



Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is blaming post-election unrest on a
far-right conspiracy led by his political opponents, Edmundo González Urrutia
and María Corina Machado.

The election results are disputed, with González and Machado claiming victory
while Maduro insisting he won, leading to street protests and international
criticism.

The Carter Center and other international observers have condemned the
election process, stating it did not meet democratic standards.

The U.S. and other countries are urging recognition of González as the winner,
while Maduro is becoming increasingly isolated diplomatically.

Venezuela is experiencing a crackdown on protesters, with over 1,000 people
detained and 11 reported killed, as the country faces growing economic and
political uncertainty.Read More.

South Florida On Alert As Venezuelan Election Dispute Could Trigger New Wave
of Migration



South Florida advocacy groups are preparing for a potential influx of
Venezuelan migrants following Venezuela's disputed election.

President Nicolás Maduro has been certified as the winner by the Venezuelan
electoral commission, but the opposition claims fraud and says its candidate
actually won.

While many Venezuelans are currently staying to protest and hope for change,
over 40% said they would consider emigrating if Maduro remained in power.

Advocacy groups are ready to coordinate efforts with border organizations and
launch social media campaigns to educate potential migrants about how to enter
the United States. Read More.

What’s Next


A recently published article in Vox argues that opposition to transgender
athletes competing in the Olympics makes you a Nazi.

The 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany marked a turning point, introducing “gender
surveillance” and resistance to trans-identifying individuals unfairly
competing in athletic contests. So naturally, opposition to men competing
against women in athletic contests makes you a goose-stepping Nazi.

This article’s publication followed Algerian boxer Imane Khelif’s victory
over Italian Angela Carini. Khelif, who reportedly isn’t transgender, was
unable to participate in the 2023 world boxing championships due to failing a
gender eligibility test, which revealed high levels of testosterone and the
presence of XY chromosomes.

Khelif beat Carini after the latter opted to forfeit, saying she had “never
been punched so hard.”

The simple fact of the matter is that Khelif shouldn’t have been allowed to
compete against Carini, regardless of gender identity. You should be able to
make this point without being labeled a Nazi.

But this is the same tool leftists always use, and they will continue to use
it because it makes everyone else bend the knee.

There is no greater threat to someone’s reputation nowadays than branding them
a Nazi, white supremacist, racist, etc.

These attacks are frequent and will not relent. The very crime of noticing
and speaking out against the biological disparity between the two boxers is
enough to get you branded a Nazi.

Obviously, you are not a Nazi if you think that women’s athletic contests
should be restricted to women. If anything, supporting the brutalization of
women for sport should be what gets someone thrown out of polite society.

If truth is to prevail, people need to become comfortable with ignoring these
accusations and rejecting leftist framing of current and historic events.
