US Senators Launch Investigation into Jared Kushner for Receiving Billions from Middle East Governments While Shaping US Foreign Policy

Specific amounts include $2 billion from Saudi PIF, $1.5 billion from Qatar and UAE, and over $110 million in fees.

If this was Biden, MAGA cult members would be enraged.
But because its their cult leader, not a word.
These are not the kind of people you want in your foxhole.

Trump 5G chess strategy... endgame is to pick up 100 seats... oops... 
Virginia voters approve Democrats' redistricting plan, giving the party a midterm election boost
NBC News projects Democrats will be able to enact a new proposed map designed to net them up to four seats, as they push for control of the narrowly divided House.
Democrats have now won statewide votes in California and Virginia to redraw congressional maps as part of a mid-decade redistricting arms race that began last year when President Donald Trump urged GOP-led states to alter their district lines.
Republicans had hoped they could insulate their three-seat House majority, but the result of the redistricting back-and-forth may end up being close to a wash.
Still, both parties will still need to actually win the redrawn districts they’ve created at the ballot box, and election results are not always consistent from year to year. Democrats have outperformed past results in special elections in 2025 and 2026, and if that trend extends into the midterm elections, it could erode some of the districts drawn to be more Republican-friendly in states like Texas.

Yea, Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire has fingers crossed for this... yikes!!!
Republicans could gain nearly 200 state legislative seats in voting rights case, report finds
"If the Supreme Court weakens the Voting Rights Act, it’s unclear whether state legislatures would pursue mid-decade redraws of state legislative districts. Redistricting typically occurs every 10 years following the census."
Republicans give up Virginia
“Yes” has won the Virginia redistricting referendum — Virginia voters have approved eliminating 4 Republican districts, flipping them to the Democrats

JUST IN: A federal judge has tossed a defamation lawsuit Kash Patel brought against former FBI official / pundit Frank Figliuzzi.
Figliuzzi’s claim that Patel spent more time in nightclubs than at FBI HQ was “rhetorical hyperbole,” the judge rules.

Lots of rumors on Keystone Kash and his drinking problems...

Apparently I have quite a few Fox News loyalists following me, because my last post clearly hit a nerve.
My point is simple: if Fox News is your primary source of information 24/7, you’re probably not getting a clear picture of what’s actually happening in the world. That’s just reality.
It wasn’t always like this. Fox used to balance straight reporting with opinion programming. Now it has leaned much harder into entertainment, elevating un-serious voices like Jesse Watters to primetime. They need more actual journalists like Bret Baier and Dana Perino, and less of the Sean Hannity/Watters model — where opinion, outrage, and performance matter more than actually informing the public.
I thought this was obvious, but I guess not lol
