“It is hard to see how Sinema can credibly argue that luxury hotels, meal expenses, and extensive air travel are connected to her candidacy or officeholder duties, given that she is no longer a candidate or officeholder,” I told @NOTUSreports. A few thoughts: 🧵
While in office, campaign expenditures for luxury travel can be justified when connected to a fundraising event. But Sinema isn’t fundraising for a campaign—because she doesn’t have one. And she no longer has official duties.
Some of the wildest outlays are for Sinema’s “security detail.”
The need for personal security might arise from Sinema’s old role in the Senate, so there’s a fair argument that former lawmakers should be allowed to use leftover campaign funds for certain security expenses.

Trump's announcement. Analysis.
This evening (July 14) at a press conference with Mark Rutte, NATO chief Donald Trump made a series of statements regarding Ukraine and Russia, but only a few are relevant, and even those raise doubts and await confirmation:
1. A 50-day ultimatum for Putin to conclude a ceasefire agreement, otherwise Trump will impose secondary sanctions of 100%.
What does this mean?
First of all, 50 days is an extremely long period of time. During these 50 days, thousands, if not tens of thousands, of drones and ballistic missiles could be launched on major cities in Ukraine. What is even stranger about this statement is that it comes after Putin's statement a few days ago that a major offensive in Ukraine would begin in 60 days. Thus, Trump's announcement is certainly not one that will scare the Kremlin, quite the contrary.
The secondary sanctions Trump is talking about could cause problems for the Trump administration, which has used tariffs and economic measures to gain advantages. Secondary sanctions of 100% for countries that in one way or another support or help Russia, countries such as India, the UAE or China, would only reduce his advantage. So I am skeptical about the value of this statement and Trump's real intention to turn this statement into action. 🧵👇

2. Trump is very angry with Putin.
What does that mean?
Absolutely nothing. The assumption of many of us who are following the war and its implications more closely is that Trump is angry with Putin not for humanitarian reasons, as he claims, but because—according to sources—Putin did not agree to a deal on rare minerals, similar to the one he made with Ukraine. Putin simply strung him along until Trump got angry that the talks were going nowhere. These assumptions are reinforced by the fact that Trump has said that Russia could be a viable economic partner for the US and that tonight he spoke about the "huge potential of the Russian economy" and that "Putin should think about it."

3. Patriot systems and US military aid to Ukraine.
What does this mean?
Trump's statement, which you will see highlighted in all our newspapers and international media today, concerns 17 Patriot systems, including interceptor missiles, which will arrive in Ukraine (some of them) in a few days. In reality, Trump said "there is a country that is willing to provide 17 Patriot systems because they don't need them anyway. We don't know how many will arrive, maybe a significant portion of them, maybe all 17."
So the statement on the Patriot systems is ambiguous, with no precise timeline and no concrete delivery dates. As Trump would say, "all talk, no action."
How will the transfer of weapons to Ukraine happen?
The news is that the US will no longer donate military equipment. It will be purchased by NATO from European funds and delivered to Ukraine. The sequence will be as follows: European countries will donate Patriot systems (as we are currently discussing) to Ukraine as quickly as possible (and some of them will certainly do so on an emergency basis, such as Norway), and Europe will then purchase replacements from the United States through NATO. In the end, Ukraine will have the systems and ammunition, Europe will pay, NATO will manage the process, and the US will receive the money and deliver the equipment in exchange to the countries that donated the equipment and ammunition.
This new system will be used for all US military equipment that will arrive in Ukraine. Is this good news or bad news? It is bad news from the perspective that only Europe is paying and that the US is actually withdrawing its financial support for Ukraine, but the other side of the coin is that Ukraine will still benefit from the equipment it needs to defend its territory.

🚨BREAKING: The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily HALTED the Trump Admin’s termination of #TPS for Afghanistan.
The stay is in effect until July 21 at 11:59 p.m. pending further legal review.

The case, CASA v. Noem, challenges DHS’s move to strip TPS protections from tens of thousands of Afghan nationals who fled war, persecution, and Taliban rule.
TPS is a critical lifeline—keeping Afghan families safe, housed, and employed while their homeland remains unsafe. Ending TPS would put lives at risk and destabilize communities.
John Soloman from @JustTheNews confirms that the FBI has opened a "grand conspiracy" case investigating over a decade of possible Democrat Party and Deep State crimes, and this case was opened by @FBIDirectorKash only a few weeks after he took over.

There are two key documents Trump could declassify for this case.
One involves a classified annex into Hillary Clinton's email scandal, showing the FBI willfully ignored her wrongdoing.
Another is a classified annex to John Durham's Russiagate investigation.

If Trump declassifies these, they could be given to a Grand Jury and show a distinct pattern of intel agency corruption re: letting Democrats off easy and persecuting Trump.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today
Eric Weinstein says he’d “bet money” that Epstein was an intelligence asset, with influence that went as far as CONTROLLING scientists and BURYING important discoveries.
According to Weinstein, Epstein and his girlfriend’s father were part of a “control mechanism” designed to keep revolutionary discoveries “within a framework.”
In plain English, that likely means discoveries didn’t see the light of day unless whoever was controlling Epstein approved it.
“I was in the Harvard Mathematics Department. Jeffrey Epstein was absolutely connected to the Harvard Math Department. I want to know why. How was he connected to the Math Department?”
“Jeffrey Epstein knew a tremendous amount about my work when nobody knew anything about my work.”
“It was very important to get Nobel laureates and some of the smartest people on Earth to come to the Virgin Islands and talk about gravity. Stephen Hawking was there, David Gross was there. Lawrence Krauss was there. Lisa Randall was there right before his conviction.”
“I think that his girlfriend’s father, Robert Maxwell, was all through scientific publishing. And I think Pergamon Press was in part a control mechanism for making sure that revolutionary discoveries were taking place within a framework.”
“I think Jeffrey Epstein was in part trying to fund science, trying to control it. I don’t really know.”

#8 - Stephen Miller delivers the single greatest explanation of the Democrat Party’s immigration agenda in two minutes flat.
This was a wake-up call.
Miller lays out a strategy decades in the making....a history lesson unfolding in real time.
“The left has been trying to shove marxism, socialism and communism down the throat of the American people for generations now.”
“They ultimately were not able to do this during the Cold War because the middle-class revolted against communism and marxism and social engineering.”
“The Democratic Party shifted their tactics to use migration as a weapon to break down the middle class and to gain political control in this country.”
“They use migration to destroy our public education system, to destroy the healthcare system, to destroy wages and working conditions for the middle class of this country, and in effect to destroy social and community cohesion.”
“In that rubble, in that chaos, in that conflict to then try to articulate the need for ever more government, ever more government redistribution, ever more government power.”
“And then to ultimately import voters to then support that agenda, to import voters who do not believe in limited government, who do not believe in the U.S. Constitution.”
“And that is why you are seeing now this VIOLENT, yes, VIOLENT, insurrectionist revolt by the Democrat Party against immigration and customs enforcement.”
“So we really are at a hinge point here for the West. A fulcrum point.”
