Jack Smith, Biden’s Hatchet Man, Under Investigation



Remember Jack Smith?

During the Biden administration, Smith led two criminal investigations into
Trump that went absolutely nowhere and were eventually dropped: one focused on
Trump’s handling of classified documents, and the other on whether Trump’s
actions on Jan. 6 were aimed at overturning the 2020 election.

Smith is now under investigation by the Office of Special Counsel for
allegedly violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits government employees from
engaging in political activity while serving in office. The OSC launched its
probe after Sen. Tom Cotton wrote a letter blasting Smith’s politicized lawfare.

“Jack Smith’s legal actions were nothing more than a tool for the Biden and
Harris campaigns. This isn’t just unethical, it is very likely illegal campaign
activity from a public office,” Sen. Tom Cotton wrote. “Many of Smith’s legal
actions seem to have no rationale except for an attempt to affect the 2024
election results – actions that would violate federal law.

Trump Turns Up The Heat on Russia with Nuclear Submarine Order



Donald Trump announced Friday that he ordered two nuclear submarines to be
“positioned in the appropriate regions” amid a war of words with Dmitry
Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council.

Medvedev reminded Trump on Thursday about his country’s Soviet-era, doomsday
strike capabilities that would launch nukes even if all of Russia’s leaders
were killed.

“Based on [Medvedev’s] highly provocative statements … I have ordered two
Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case
these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are
very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will
not be one of those instances,” the president said on Truth Social.

Earlier in the week, a frustrated Trump shortened the deadline for Putin to
reach a ceasefire with Ukraine to "10 or 12 days," saying he is “not so
interested in talking anymore.”

Unlike Joe Biden's administration, whose every move escalated or prolonged
America’s proxy war with Russia, Trump wants peace in the region. But he is
still playing a risky game by shrinking the ceasefire deadline and dialing up
the rhetoric in his latest move.

White House Defends Decision to Fire Labor Stats Official


White House economic adviser Ken Hasset defended the president’s decision to
fire the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer after the
July jobs report showed less than stellar results and drastic revisions for May
and June’s numbers.

The BLS reported Friday that the United States economy added 73,000 nonfarm
payroll jobs in July, a number weaker than expected by economists. In response,
Trump called the report “rigged” and said that he asked his team to fire
McEntarfer.

“The bottom line is that there were people involved in creating these
numbers. And if I were running the BLS and I had a number that was a huge,
politically important revision, the biggest since 1968 actually ... then I
would have a really long report explaining exactly what happened. And we didn’t
get that,” Hasset said Sunday on “Meet The Press.”

Friday’s report showed massive revisions to the jobs numbers originally
tallied by the BLS. The U.S. added 19,000 jobs in May, compared to the initial
report of 144,000. And in June, the country added 14,000 after the initial
147,000.

Israeli Settlers Kill Another American Citizen


So much for “special ally.”

Morning Note previously reported on the death of 20-year-old Florida man
Sayfollah Musallet, who was “brutally” beaten by a group of Israeli settlers in
the West Bank.


Yet again, another American citizen has perished at the hands of Israeli
settlers. Khamis Abdul Latif Ayyad, 41, died from smoke inhalation after
Israelis ignited a fire while targeting cars and homes in his village late at
night, according to a report.


The State Department confirmed his death in a statement.




"We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen in the town of Silwad in the West
Bank. We offer condolences to the family on their loss and are providing
consular assistance to them. We condemn criminal violence by any party in the
West Bank," a State Department spokesperson told the Miami Herald.




Ayyad's brother described him as a dedicated, hardworking family man liked by
his community in Chicago:"He was loved by everyone. He caused no problems at
all," the brother said.




Ayyad tragically leaves behind a wife and five children, ages 6-15.

Senate Republicans Drop the Ball on Trump Nominees



Dozens of executive branch nominees remain in limbo as Democrats continue to
play partisan politics, delaying the confirmations and gumming up President
Trump’s agenda. Instead of using more aggressive procedural tactics, Senate
Republicans attempted to cut a deal to grease the procedural gears, but failed.

Trump had previously pressured Senate Republicans to stay in Washington ahead
of the August recess to confirm his nominees. However, talks between Senate
Majority Leader John Thune and his counterpart, Chuck Schumer, to fast-track
the confirmations collapsed right before lawmakers departed the capital.

In exchange for the procedural agreement, Democrats reportedly wanted to
unfreeze government funding on foreign aid and the NIH.

After the talks went south, Trump teed off on Schumer.

“Senator Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is demanding over One Billion Dollars in order
to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees, who should right
now be helping to run our Country,” the president said on Truth Social. “GO TO
HELL!”

“Family Feud” Team Raises Money for Black, Transgender Hookers


Actor Laverne Cox, who has made a career out of pretending to be a woman, used
a classic, family-friendly, Disney/ABC show to fundraise for black, transgender
hookers.

“We’re at ‘Celebrity Family Feud’, and I am here with my chosen family, my
dear sisters Mila Jam, Joslyn De Freece, TS Madison, and Peppermint,” Cox said
in a video on Instagram ahead of the episode’s airing.

“We’re playing for the TS Madison Starter House, partnered with NAESM,” Cox’s
teammate Madison, also a biological male, said in the video. “The TS Madison
Starter House is a re-entry house for system-impacted trans women.”

Ah, yes. A re-entry house for system-impacted trans women.

As it turns out, so-called “system-impacted trans women” are actually “black
trans women engaged in sex work.” Those aren’t our words. That’s according to
Madison’s website.

St. Louis Couple Who Defended Home from BLM Mob Finally Get AR-15 Back


During the 2020 summer of the BLM riots, Mark and Patricia McCloskey bravely
stood outside their St. Louis home, holding guns, and defending their property
against potential looters. They became a symbol in defense of the Second
Amendment and all the fed-up Americans who were tired of mobs ransacking their
cities.

Of course, the left demonized them at the time, smearing the viral couple as
racists who wanted to incite violence against black people. It couldn’t have
been further from the truth.

Five years of legal fights later, the McCloskeys finally got their AR-15 back.

“It only took 3 lawsuits, 2 trips to the Court of Appeals and 1,847 days, but
I got my AR15 back!” Mark McCloskey posted to his X account on Friday. “We
defended our home, were persecuted by the left, smeared by the press, and
threatened with death, but we never backed down.”

Good for them.

WURST NIGHTMARE: Thousands of Hot Dogs Go to Waste, Cause Massive Traffic Jam



Thousands of hot dogs clogged a main commuting artery in Shrewsbury,
Pennsylvania, just north of Maryland, after a crash during Friday morning rush
hour.

According to state police, a truck with a mechanical problem struck another
vehicle on Interstate 83, causing its trailer to scrape alongside the concrete
divider, rip, and open a flood of hot dogs that spilled over the entire highway.

Cleanup crews had to bust out a front loader to pick up the dogs and drop them
into a dump truck – a tragedy in its own right, as no one wants to see quality
glizzes ever go to waste.

“I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery,” Shrewsbury Fire
Company Chief Brad Dauberman said. “I did not know that.”

It could’ve been wurst, though. Police said four people required medical
attention, but thankfully, for non-life-threatening injuries.

Commentary


National Goon’s Israeli Vacation


The House began its August recess early this year, giving lawmakers time to
visit their districts in the dog days of summer.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson did just that. On July 30, he made a couple
of stops in north Louisiana and met with constituents, local leaders, and
business owners to discuss what he’s doing in Washington and, more importantly,
what they want him to do on their behalf.

Johnson doesn’t deserve praise for this, a pat on the back, or a cookie. This
is a part of his job – maybe the most important part. This is what he should be
doing every opportunity he gets. The whole point of recess isn’t to give
Congress a relaxing beach vacation, but to allow representatives to reconnect
and interact with the citizens of their state. You know, American citizens?

Which is why it’s so weird that Mike Johnson would jet off to a foreign
country during recess.

Johnson and Republican Texas Reps. Michael McCaul, Michael Cloud, Nate Moran,
and New York Rep. Claudia Tenney met with Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs
Gideon Sa’ar, a ghoulish propagandist for Netanyahu. Johnson also visited the
Western Wall in Jerusalem on Sunday, with the speaker staging a photo op to
pledge his undying fealty to the state of Israel.

“Our prayer is that America will always stand with Israel and that we will —
we pray for the preservation and the peace of Jerusalem. That’s what Scripture
tells us to do. It’s a matter of faith for us and a commitment that we have,”
Johnson said.

If you watched the video of Johnson and didn’t know who he was, you would
probably assume he worked for the Israeli government or that he was some kind
of important religious figure or biblical scholar. You certainly wouldn’t
assume that he was an American politician who just days prior was sitting down
for breakfast with the Rotary Club of Ruston, Louisiana.

Not only does Johnson’s little foreign sojourn defeat the entire purpose of
Congressional recess, but it is also emblematic of Washington’s core problem:
putting foreign countries and foreign people over American citizens.

Johnson should’ve stayed in his home state instead of making a fool out of
himself in Jerusalem. Checking the box on a couple of town halls isn’t enough.
He owes his time to the hardworking Louisianan who’s struggling to afford
groceries and pay his bills, not one of Netanyahu’s henchmen.

This Day in History


August 4, 1944: After receiving a tip from an informant, the Nazi Gestapo
located and captured 15-year-old Anne Frank and her family, who were sheltering
inside an Amsterdam warehouse with the help of two Christians. Frank began
writing a diary on her 13th birthday in 1942, detailing her daily experiences
while living under Nazi tyranny. In one diary entry from 1944, she expressed
hope that the Allies’ successful invasion of Normandy would soon lead to the
liberation of Holland. Frank and her family were eventually sent to Auschwitz,
where they perished. Her diary, commonly referred to as “The Diary of Anne
Frank,” was later published in over 70 languages. Read more.
