U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina: “We didn’t just break barriers at The Citadel, we shattered them. First woman to graduate. Still holding the line.”
Not only was she the first woman to graduate from the Citadel.
She has the courage to state that a man is not a woman; a woman is not a man; that you cannot be BOTH and NEITHER at the same time.
In a culture gone mad, it takes the courage and strength of a Citadel graduate to say the truth.

In the annals of bad judgment, Elon Musk’s picked fight with President Trump over federal spending stands out as a beaut.
While it’s true that the recently passed congressional budget, a.k.a., the “Big Beautiful Bill” involved a small rise in spending in the bid to get it through, which was Musk’s beef, a beef so strong he ended his relationship with President Trump, it also contained critical tax cuts which usually yield more in tax revenue than congressional estimates. as the economy booms. But there’s an even bigger story out there that the press isn’t reporting: Trump is already cutting the deficit — and on his watch, inflation is going down, too.
The last two days, as highlighted by Wall Street economist Brian Wesbury, shows the big picture:
Why does Wesbury suggest we look at just the last three months instead of the whole federal fiscal year (which begins in October) up until this point on inflation?
Because those are the months Trump, and only Trump, was in office.
He suggests the same for the deficit, but can go back five months. During Trump’s time in office, the federal deficit slid to $498 billion from $741 billion in the same time period a year earlier, when Joe Biden was in office. That’s about a third lower between the amount paid out and the amount paid in, meaning, the federal government is no longer spending like it used to.
Why is the press missing this story? Well, because they are counting it from the fiscal year’s beginning, not from the Trump administration’s second term beginning, which is a far more useful indicator. Trump is slashing the deficit and only the smarter guys on Wall Street, like Brian Wesbury, can see it. The rest are reading reports like these and saying the deficit is up, unable to see that they are lumping Joe Biden’s bad figures in with President Trump’s figures, creating a doo-doo in the punchbowl kind of distortion
That was the crux of Elon’s beef with Trump, the one he made such a stink about, hurling insane, ad hominem insults and vowing to found a third party that he estranged himself from Trump, despite holding a very privileged position of trust.
Was it worth it, Elon? Trump in fact is doing exactly what you wanted all along. You’re a code and numbers guy, how could you miss that?
Some things we can’t understand.

A U.S. Senate hearing to examine deaths and cognitive delays caused by vaccines revealed a shared belief between Democrats and Republicans that the pharmaceutical industry lacks adequate oversight.
Families of children and teenagers who were injured after receiving the influenza, HPV and MMR vaccines shared their stories in front of a congressional panel Tuesday. Top committee members on both sides of the aisle expressed concerns of how the witnesses’ testimonies demonstrated an “immunity from legal responsibility” within big pharma.
Chairman Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., criticized the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for allowing pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to consumers on TV. Johnson said drug companies spent an estimated $10 billion on consumer advertising in 2024, making up almost 25% of evening ad minutes.
Johnson argued that the massive amount of money garnered from this advertising allows the industry to “control the narrative and suppress stories of drug and vaccine injuries.”
The panel’s top Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., shared Johnson’s concerns of big pharma and pledged to co-sponsor a bill banning pharmaceutical advertisements on TV. Blumenthal questioned whether the U.S. government holds the pharmaceutical industry to the same standards as other industries.
“I am extremely suspicious as a lawyer of immunity that is granted in any blanket way across the board to any manufacturer,” Blumenthal said.
Committee members conveyed interest in reforming the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, a program which provides legal immunity to pharmaceutical manufacturers, according to the panel. One witness said the program provided no relief to his family over 16 years to support his son who requires around-the-clock care.
“If there are reforms in the law that could come of [this hearing] to improve the law, I would explore them,” Blumenthal told The Center Square.

Westinghouse’s HiVE and bertha AI platforms, paired with Google Cloud tools, aim to speed up nuclear construction.
In a first-of-its-kind move, Westinghouse Electric Company and Google Cloud have teamed up to leverage artificial intelligence for streamlining nuclear reactor construction.
Their AI-powered tools autonomously generate and optimize modular work packages for advanced reactors.
The collaboration pairs Westinghouse’s proprietary HiVE™ and bertha™ nuclear AI solutions with Google Cloud technologies such as Vertex AI, Gemini, and BigQuery.
Vertex AI is Google’s platform for building and deploying machine learning models, Gemini is its most advanced generative AI model, and BigQuery is a scalable, serverless data warehouse.
When AI meets atoms Used together, these tools can analyze large volumes of data, power generative AI applications, and help automate complex engineering workflows, such as those involved in modular nuclear reactor construction.
According to the companies, this combination will not only accelerate the deployment of Westinghouse’s AP1000® modular reactors but also enhance operations across existing nuclear power plants using data-driven insights.
“As the only fully licensed, construction-ready modular reactor available today, our AP1000 technology is the quickest way to add new sources of affordable and abundant nuclear energy to the U.S. grid,” said Dan Sumner, Westinghouse Interim Chief Executive Officer.
“By partnering with Google Cloud to enhance our HiVE and bertha technology, and backed by 75 years of our proprietary nuclear data, we can accelerate the deployment of new AP1000 units while implementing powerful AI technologies that will optimize the construction and operations of nuclear power plants.”
The two companies have already completed a successful proof of concept using Westinghouse’s WNEXUS digital plant design platform alongside HiVE AI and Google Cloud’s tools.
This proof of concept demonstrated the autonomous generation and optimization of construction work packages specifically for AP1000 modular reactors, an effort aimed at turning what is typically a complex, labor-intensive process into a streamlined, repeatable workflow.
“This partnership with Westinghouse combines Google Cloud’s AI technologies and expertise with Westinghouse’s century-long expertise in nuclear innovation to chart a new path towards a smarter and safer future,” said Kyle Jessen, Managing Director, Commercial Industries, Google Cloud.
“Artificial intelligence is not merely a tool; it can give companies a critical competitive advantage. Westinghouse is demonstrating what’s possible.”
From code to core
Westinghouse’s HiVE and bertha platforms underpin this AI-driven approach. First introduced in September 2024, HiVE is a nuclear-specific generative AI system built on more than seven decades of proprietary industry data.
Bertha—a large language model named after Bertha Lamme, Westinghouse’s first female engineer—is tailored for reactor lifecycle tasks such as maintenance planning, inspections, and digital workflows
Together, the AI platforms are supported by dedicated nuclear engineers and are positioned to help plant operators deliver more reliable, cost-effective electricity to homes and businesses, whether through new AP1000 units, AP300™ small modular reactors, or eVinci® microreactor technologies.
The U.S. nuclear sector has seen decades of limited growth, but rising electricity demand from data centers, electrification, and manufacturing is driving renewed interest.
While Westinghouse and Google Cloud aim to streamline new reactor construction, the companies have not disclosed deployment timelines for these AI-powered capabilities.

The Pravda Media is, despite the evidence before our eyes that they should have the credibility of a Soviet Commissar at best and Baghdad Bob in most cases, still has the power to create illusions that large numbers of people take at face value.
It seems odd that anybody still believes them, but time and again we are reminded that a good chunk of the population will take anything written in The New York Times, The Atlantic, or Scientific American as gospel.
For years the public was inundated with propaganda insisting that Donald Trump stole the 2016 election–ah, the good ol’ days when “election denial” was patriotic and not insurrection-y–colluding with Vladimir Putin to steal the election from the rightful Queen of the American people, Hillary Clinton.
The New York Times and Washington Post received the once-prestigious Pulitzer Prize for covering the Russia Collusion story, which was nothing more than a Clinton Campaign hoax about which Barack Obama had been briefed.
The hoax was exposed in 2019, when the Mueller Report debunked it all.
That doesn’t matter, though. Most Democrats still believe it, six years after the accusations were proven to be false.
A new Rasmussen poll to be published Monday morning shows a majority of Democrats still believe the Russia collusion hoax, even though it has been debunked repeatedly.
Astonishingly, 60% of Democratic voters still think “the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election”, according to the poll of 1,014 Likely Voters conducted on July 6-7.
A whopping 69 percent of liberal voters still cling to the Russia collusion hoax, compared to 27 percent of conservatives, and 45 percent of moderates. Among all voters, more believe it unlikely (49 percent) than likely (42 percent).
The fact that liberals and Democrats still believe in the hoax is likely a reflection of their preferred media outlets, such as the New York Times, which refuses to hand back its ill-gotten Pulitzers, and MSNBC, which pays discredited plotters such as former CIA director John Brennan and former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissman to act out their Trump derangement on air.
Media malfeasance is nothing new. In fact, Pravda has perfected the technique over the decades. And if it weren’t for the explosion of sources enabled by the internet, it wouldn’t just be 70% of liberal voters still believing the Russia hoax, but closer to 90% of all voters. Anybody who believed the truth would be a “conspiracy theorist.”
As much as we think that the media is self-discrediting, the fact is that it takes years for people to realize that they are being lied to all the time. And for the people who consider themselves “informed” because they read what Pravda pumps out on a daily basis, it is almost impossible to dislodge their belief that they are getting the straight scoop.
This is poisonous for our public discourse. Liberals live in a different reality than the rest of us–a Truman Show created by content producers. The January 6th Committee was, quite literally, a TV production run by an ABC producer. It wasn’t a Congressional hearing–it was a show trial. Here’s how PBS described the setup:
KELLY: All right. What kind of spectacle are we going to see tomorrow night?
FOLKENFLIK: Well, it’ll – seems as though it’ll start pretty conventionally. You’ll have the chairman, Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, and Congresswoman Liz Cheney, Republican from Wyoming, give their opening statements. And then we’re going to see unfold what is supposed to be kind of a television spectacle. You’ll have two witnesses, a guard and a documentary filmmaker, there that day. And we’re supposed to see a narrative being presented with something of a narrative storytelling arc – think of “20/20,” “Dateline” NBC – with not just moments, but a story that has dramatic tension building up with revelations along the way using real footage, using real documents, using apparently previously undisclosed White House official photographs from that day to piece together a narrative of what the chairman has said he believes was an attempt to essentially thwart democracy.
KELLY: What’s the thinking behind presenting it this way?
FOLKENFLIK: Well, there’s a desire to make sure this punches through, that it’s compelling on TV. There’s a worry that it will be politicized, as it has already been dismissed by House Republicans and allies of former President Donald Trump, or simply ignored. And they want it to burst through.
Conservatives are more likely to notice that the “news” is just highly produced propaganda because we see how misrepresented we are. We have direct experience that contradicts what they are saying about us. Liberals, because they are flattered and portrayed as good people on the news, eat it all up.
Everybody likes to be told that they are the good guys and people they disagree with are the bad guys, and it works.
Much of the division in our society can be traced to the media’s emphasis on a narrative of good versus evil.
Lying media folks are much more dangerous and destructive than lying politicians. We all expect politicians to spin things and not be above spinning a tale or two. But many people still believe that the media plays it straight down the middle.
The result? Things like this–7 out of 10 liberals still believe a hoax.
They are Blue-Anon.

I was writing about Jeffrey Epstein long before the current pack of grifters fastened on to the story and well before his arrest, when the Democrats suddenly decided to care about Epstein, largely to undermine Trump’s nomination of Alex Acosta who had overseen the federal case against him. Before that, I reported on Epstein as part of a long list of sex predators tied to the Clintons.
That arrest lifted Epstein’s magical curtain of immunity and led directly to his death in federal custody.
When Epstein died, I predicted that the truth would never be known. Throughout the years, after all the promises that were made to finally reveal the truth, I predicted it would never happen.
And I was right.
There will be no client list. No explanation for Epstein’s death beyond the one we already got from AG Barr. No final answer.
The Epstein story passed long ago out of the realm of crime reporting and into the realm of grifters pushing conspiracy theories and weaponizing it for their own agendas. Currently Tucker Carlson, who has developed close ties to Muslim terrorist states, including Qatar, has been exploiting it for anti-Israel propaganda. Democrats are cheering him on and then using the Epstein story to target Trump.
What is really revealing is that both slants decouple Epstein from the Clintons who were the only ones who could have protected him across three states, including New York and Florida, shut down a federal investigation of him, and managed to reach into a federal prison.
Politically, the Clintons are old news and the grifters have moved on to fresh angles. And the truth will never be known.
The season is in full swing and apparently y’all are getting chatty out there! This week I’ll answer a couple of interesting questions from faithful readers:
Christa writes, “My husband and I have been together for ten years. We enjoy socializing with our coupled friends, but we find that we often like one member of the pair more than the other. To make it worse, we sometimes disagree about which of the partners we like better. Is there some formula we can follow to get this right?
Dear Christa, the magic formula is this: You’re expecting too much. Many couples come together because opposites attract. Nontechnical people are often drawn to technically competent ones. Empaths are drawn to thinkers. Outgoing people are attracted to wallflowers, etc. In other words, you enjoy certain qualities in your partner that you might not possess yourself.
So here it comes (fasten your seatbelt): Your time is precious. Life should be fun. You or your spouse are not obligated to waste precious moments with people you don’t enjoy. Of course, you can’t be entirely rigid about this, but if there are opportunities to do one thing with one member of the couple, then you might consider doing that. “Oh, you like macramé? I like it too, but Joe can’t stand it. Let’s whip up a hammock sometime while the others go shopping.” Of course you have to be careful not to deliberately exclude people or hurt their feelings, but Joe will probably be more than happy to go shopping after he hears about that hammock.
You don’t have to do everything as a couple. If you and your partner love your time together, then fine. But don’t box yourself in.
Jerry from Ocean City writes, “My girlfriend and I are pretty happy, but I often feel anxious and conflicted about everyday things. She has suggested that I consider psychotherapy, but I’m not sure what it can do for me. What should I expect if I decide to give it a try?”
Thank you, Jerry for giving me a chance to promote my books! In the most recent one, “Bad Therapy, Good Therapy (And How to Tell the Difference)”, I state candidly that you pay a psychotherapist “not to care.” At first that may sound harsh, but if you think about it, it’s really true: If you want advice from someone in your personal life, you can get it for free. In fact, you can get uninvited advice from just about anyone who’s bossy or who needs to feel superior. It’s important to consider the source and what the advice-giver might get out of it.
A therapist — a good one at least — will not try to run your life. He or she will offer an objective assessment of what you’re saying. “It sounds like you really want to change jobs. But you seem conflicted because you don’t want to live with less income. You need to think about your priorities.” This sort of feedback helps you, the client, think more clearly without being told what to do. By “not caring” about all the personal things that tend to upset mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, partners and spouses (i.e., those who love you), good therapists are in a unique position to be truly objective. You’re free to remove a therapist from your life at any time, so there’s no negative consequence from how you handle the feedback.
Therapy is not a medical procedure. A psychotherapist holds either a Master’s degree or a Ph.D. A psychiatrist, on the other hand, is an M.D. and can prescribe medication. In a medical situation, you go to a doctor to treat symptoms with pills or maybe surgery. Therapists don’t fix you with surgery. They help you fix yourself by guiding and coaching you over a period of time.
It might take a few tries to find the right match. Therapists are people too, and, as I state in my book, some might not have an approach that can help you. Pills may have their place, but five minutes with a doctor and a prescription pad will never be the same as quality time spent talking with a skilled psychotherapist.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Attorney General Pam Bondi Drops Charges Against Dr. Kirk Moore, Wrongfully Prosecuted for Upholding Medical Ethics During COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates
Salt Lake City, UT, July 14 – In a long-overdue act of justice, all federal charges have been officially dismissed against Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, who was wrongfully prosecuted for upholding medical ethics and defending the foundational right to informed consent during the COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
From the start, this case was never about fraud. It was about freedom of choice, moral courage, and a refusal to betray the doctor-patient relationship under political pressure. Dr. Moore stood by his oath — and today, truth prevailed.
Statement from Dr. Kirk Moore
This victory belongs not just to me, but to every single person who refused to bow to tyranny,” said Dr. Moore. “To those who stood beside me in the courtroom, prayed outside, shared our story, and never gave up — thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Special thanks go to:
• Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose leadership through the Weaponization of Government Workgroup helped expose the politicized and retaliatory nature of this prosecution.
• Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who spoke directly with AG Bondi and insisted on justice — not just for me, but for all Americans facing weaponized government power.
• Representative Thomas Massie, whose unwavering defense of medical freedom and constitutional rights helped carry this truth into the halls of Congress.
• Senator Mike Lee, a principled constitutionalist who has consistently stood for individual liberty and against federal overreach.
• The Courtroom Patriots who filled the benches each day, and the global freedom fighters who reminded us this battle is much larger than any one case.
This victory is a step — but not the end. Across the country and especially within our military, honorable men and women are still being punished for speaking the truth.
Commander Rob Green is one of them. He is currently under active investigation and facing blatant whistleblower retaliation for publishing Defending the Constitution Behind Enemy Lines and for calling out Admirals and Generals who violated the law and trampled Constitutional rights.
The very individuals he reported in 2021 and 2022 now hold authority over him, attempting reprisal and banking on public amnesia.
Many of our nation’s most respected and celebrated doctors have had their careers ruined and their medical licenses threatened or taken away because they dared to speak out and stay true to their Hippocratic Oath.
We haven’t forgotten. And we won’t.
This moment is bigger than me. It is a message to every bureaucrat and federal agency that believes it can silence conscience with prosecution:
The American people are awake. And we are not backing down.

Good job, Pam Bondi. On the subject … Maybe good will come out of the Trump/Epstein/Bondi letdown. Maybe it will motivate President Trump to turn all of his DOJ firepower on to the Obamas, Bidens, Soros, Bushes, Faucis and all the other top tier villains for their crimes against America and humanity.
Show us what we know you’ve got, Mr. Trump. We know that you understand better than anyone: This is war.

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering eliminating the capital gains tax, which can boost investment, reward entrepreneurship, and strengthen the economy. By removing the tax on profits from stocks, property, and other assets, the president’s move aims to unleash private capital that has been held back due to taxation.
On Sunday, while speaking to reporters, President Trump said he is considering eliminating the capital gains tax on home sales.
“I think it can be a great incentive for a lot of people that really need money,” Trump said.
The reporter then suggested that eliminating the capital gains tax on home sales—combined with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stepping down—could help boost the housing market.
“Well, I think if Jerome Powell stepped down, it would be a great thing, I don’t know if he’s going to, but he should,” Trump responded.
Eliminating the capital gains tax on home sales could offer several potential benefits, including encouraging homeownership and boosting real estate market activity.
Without capital gains tax, homeowners may be more willing to sell and move, thereby freeing up housing inventory and making it easier for families to relocate for job opportunities, better school districts, or lifestyle changes. It could also increase buying and selling activity, leading to a stronger housing market, more construction, and greater demand for related services, such as home improvement, real estate agents, and movers.
In addition, taxing gains made from years of property investment or appreciation can be seen as a penalty on success. Eliminating the tax would allow homeowners to fully reap the benefits of their investment.
While President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill doesn’t cut rates overall, it added additional loopholes and incentives for investors, especially in startups and real estate. Additionally, investors can continue to defer or eliminate capital gains taxes by reinvesting in distressed areas, especially rural ones, which provides a significant tax break for long-term investments in low-income communities.

EDITOR’S Note: There is no capital gains tax on the sale of one’s primary residence. Only secondary residences like vacation properties.
“It’s dark on the Left now. They’ve reached that predictable moment where inflicting pain is all they have left.“ — Sasha Stone.
Theories on the Epstein mess fly around like a murmuration of starlings wheeling across an angry summer sky. The birds are just birds. They are not the storm clouds in the background. Mark the difference.
You can rightly say that Mr. Trump has handled this Epstein business rather awkwardly — especially last Wednesday’s little show of vexation in the cabinet meeting, barking, nothing to see. . . just move along. What? You’ve been watching the Epstein psychodrama unspool for nearly twenty years, so how can it possibly come to this?
Looks like Pam Bondi fumbled badly in those early days on the job, promising things she was less than fully informed about. The public was already convinced that the entire power structure of the nation — of all Western Civ, actually — was a convocation of perverts, and that a vast trove of evidence was sitting there waiting to be laid on them. And then Mr. Trump slammed the door shut. Mssers. Patel and Bongino at the FBI got caught flat-footed, and “Danny Boombatz” especially freaked, seeing his reputation as a truth-teller likely to shred all over cable TV. Most unfortunate, the whole appalling episode.
But then, Sunday, the president suggested on his social media that the Epstein business had become a Democratic Party op. He did not elaborate. And maybe it sounds suspiciously spurious. But, is it not worth considering? Consider also: In all of Epstein’s dark activities there was surely a there there. He did run a concerted blackmail enterprise for some combo of Israel’s Mossad, the CIA, and the UK’s MI6 intel outfit. And, since blackmail requires documentation, there was a ton of it, eventually scooped out of his various domiciles by the FBI.
The key is: had become a Democratic Party op. Didn’t start out that way, but might have turned into one. Consider: The Democratic Party was up to its eyeballs in ops against Mr. Trump since he rode down that fabled escalator in 2015. The “intel community” was the chief player in these operations. The intel community ran rings around Mr. Trump with all manner of fabricated nonsense during the election campaign of 2016 and throughout his first term. You could say — and I believe the DOJ under Ms. Bondi will say in cases waiting to be brought — that these many operations amounted to one continuous seditious conspiracy to overthrow a president. It ran from the Steele dossier, through the Mueller Investigation, through the Norm Eisen / Adam Schiff engineered impeachment No 1, through the gamed election of 2020, through the J-6 committee, and through all the nefarious lawfare gambits against Mr. Trump during the “Joe Biden” fake presidency.
Why wouldn’t the Epstein files now turn out to be an extension of these same operations? The DOJ first moved against Epstein in 2005. The case culminated in 2008 with a plea deal on some Mickey Mouse state prostitution charges and a non-prosecution agreement with the feds under US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta — who was reported later saying that Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” and that the case was therefore “beyond my pay-grade” to prosecute.
Between 2008 and 2019, Epstein returned to his international swashbuckling ways. Strangely, he was finally busted on June 6, 2019, by then-AG William Barr, whose father, Donald Barr, had been headmaster of New York City’s Dalton prep school, where Jeffrey Epstein, age twenty-one, was hired to teach math and physics in 1974, though he lacked a college degree. All that may just be coincidental, of course.
A little more than a month after his arrest on sex trafficking charges in the summer of 2019, Epstein died in the Manhattan federal lockup under mysterious circumstances. The outstanding question even afterward was: trafficking with-and-to whom? And the general assumption among the public was: trafficking teenage girls to a long list of public officials, movie stars, financial bigshots, and miscellaneous celebs such as Prince Andrew of the British royal family.
Astoundingly little was learned from the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell in 2021-22, which was led by Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey (fired in 2017). Small world. The case only covered Ms. Maxwell’s activities between 1994 and 2004. Why only that period? Never explained. Rumors of a “client list” being among the evidence have never been substantiated, and were repudiated last week by AG Pam Bondi and President Trump.
has been in the possession of the FBI and the DOJ since at least the first Epstein case in 2005-08. If there was any evidence of Donald Trump caught in some indecent act, why did it not get leaked during the campaign of 2016, or any time since then? His political adversaries tried virtually everything else to knock him out of the arena, up to even assassination — but not that?
The DOJ and FBI were arguably in their most roguish phase as weaponized agencies during the “Joe Biden” years. All the Epstein evidence resided in the New York City field office of the FBI. These were also the years when the apparatus of the Democratic Party — and its rank-and-file — fell into a fugue of vicious, psychotic animus against Mr. Trump and the populist movement he led, not just in the USA, but spreading throughout Western Civ.
Do you suppose that the FBI might have worked some hoodoo with those Epstein evidence files, especially to set the table for the 2026 mid-term elections, when knocking a few Republicans out of office might flip the House and Senate back to the Democratic Party? I would suppose it’s not just a thing; I think it’s the thing. I would imagine that this is exactly what Mr. Trump was hinting at the other day when he referred to this business as yet another Democratic Party op. He knows the mainstream media will never investigate it or report it. And the alt-media is too momentarily disconcerted to entertain the idea. So, he just slammed the door shut.
Nobody likes it, but it may be necessary. Other storms are brewing: financial gales, geopolitical thunderheads, and apparently — we are officially informed — the coming cases against John Brennan, James Comey, and other figures who initiated the coup, which is a much bigger deal than who might have been having sex with whom sixteen years ago.
