Election Fraud Found In South Dakota! Guess Which Party

Alert Todd Blanche! Sober up, Kash Patel! They need to send every available agent to South Dakota, where they found real-life election fraud!

Of course, I'm being facetious. They won't do anything because it's a Republican who has been charged with forging nomination papers.

The alleged fraudster is State Senator Tom Pischke, and he has been charged with forging 16 nomination papers for precinct committeemen and precinct committeewomen, who would be acting as delegates at the state convention.

The first really strange thing is that he didn't even have to cheat. He ran unopposed in the June 2 primary. Some opined that he allegedly committed the fraud because he felt the county party was not fascist enough.

Another remarkable thing is how they traced the crime back to Pischke:

Shortly thereafter, detectives obtained video footage of a vehicle dropping something off at the Dell Rapids Post Office. The video only showed the driver’s hand and wasn’t clear enough to show what was placed in the box, the court documents say, but it was clear enough to show three of the numbers on the vehicle’s license plate and the vehicle’s make, model, and approximate year: a 2000-2005 Chevy Impala.

There’s only one Chevy Impala in South Dakota of that vintage with a license plate number bearing the three characters seen in the video, and it’s registered to Pischke.

Ivanka And Jared’s Albania Resort So Hated, It May Bring Down The Govt

In early June, Susie Madrak posted about the outrage sparked by the Kushners’ $4.7 billion plans to develop one of Albania’s most pristine sites into a luxury resort. "Thousands of Albanians have taken to the streets — and the internet” to protest the development, “with protesters demanding the government cancel the project and chanting ‘Ivanka, go home,’" she wrote.

The Albanians are still furious. Now, the “Flamingo Revolution,” named in honor of the beautiful creatures that inhabit the nature reserves Ivanka and Jared think should be theirs to do whatever they want with, has turned into something much bigger: a movement to take down the entire government.

"In February 2024, led by Prime Minister Edi Rama of the center-left Socialist Party, Albania’s parliament passed Law 21/2024, which allows the National Territory Council to grant permits for luxury tourist resorts anywhere in the country, even in protected landscapes. Three days later, Kushner went public with plans to create two luxury developments in the region, including a resort on Sazan, a protected nature zone and one of Albania’s only major islands," Mother Jones explained.

Iran Makes It Clear Who Controls The Strait Of Hormuz

For the umpteenth time, Trump has claimed that the United States won his war against Iran and that we were in control of the Strait of Hormuz. And for the umpteenth time, Iran demonstrated that this was simply not true.

CNN's Erin Burnett reported that Iran has taken credit for an attack on a cargo ship that was going through the Strait. But the way in which she did report the news was remarkable. It was almost like she was as sick of Trump's crap as the rest of us are:

It's a cargo ship that had just passed through the Strait of Hormuz. It was attacked by Iran. A strike that leaves any sort of an agreement between Trump and Iran as shaky and amorphous and undefined, and how many synonyms can I come up with on that, as it already was, is in question tonight.

And what we know about this attack is that a cargo ship was hit by a one-way attack drone, according to the Wall Street Journal, which also. Reports that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps was responsible. Tehran is just showing the obvious here, though, but this action, speaking louder than any word, showing that yes, they are still in control of the Strait of Hormuz. They can shut it down whenever they want, despite what Trump just claimed.

'Do Not Interrupt!': Rep. DeLauro Puts Sec. Mullin In His Place

During Thursday's House Appropriations Committee on the Department of Homeland Security's 2027 budget, Rep. DeLauro refused to be bullied by DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to the point where the ranking member warned Mullin to b.

DELAURO: Let me just say this to you, sir, again, it is my time, 3,900 children were separated from their families.

MULLIN: 450,000 kids were lost during the Biden administration, you didn't say a word about it.

DELAURO: Mr. Secretary, Mr. Secretary, do not interrupt.

MULLIN: Don't you point your finger at me.

DELAURO: I will point my finger at you.

Sec. Mullin pulled a Pam Bondi and continued to attack the Biden administration while refusing to answer DeLauro's questions and thought being an asshole was good form. Finally, she turned to Rep. Amodei, the chair of the committee to intervene.

DELAURO: Mr. Chairman, could you put him in his place?

MULLIN: Don't yell at me.

DELAURO: You should be put in your place.

AMODEI: Mr. Secretary, if you would like four minutes for a closing statement when everybody's done, I'll give you that.

But while members are on their eight minutes, I need them to have their eight minutes.

DELAURO: I started my comments. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that.

AMODEI: We are going to something resembling order here.

The time is the ranking members.

Democrat To Trump: Veto The Housing Bill And Congress Will Publicly Humiliate You

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Andy Kim gave Donald J. Trump, the golf-course president, a reminder while appearing on CNN with Wolf Blitzer. Kim tore into Trump after the president canceled the signing of the sweeping bipartisan bill that could boost the U.S. housing supply and lower costs for millions of renters and buyers nationwide.

"I mean, I have an eight-year-old and a ten-year-old, two little boys, I know what temper tantrums are like, but what my boys would never do is do something that would harm other people," Kim said. "And that's what Trump's doing."

"He's throwing a temper tantrum, but it's going to be at the expense of the American people, who can get so much out of this bill in terms of support for their housing," he continued. "Look, I'm from New Jersey. We are used to Trump screwing us over. He screwed over Atlantic City. He screwed over so many people in our state."

"And I will just say to him, if he really wants to see what people need right now, the next time he comes to New Jersey, he shouldn't go to his golf course in Bedminster," he said. "He should go to Newark, New Jersey, talk to the people there who need affordable housing."
