NEW: Senate Judiciary Committee has noticed a TUESDAY vote on Todd Blanche’s AG nom Judiciary GOP spox: “Chairman Grassley wants Todd Blanche’s nomination to be successful. Noticing the markup gives more time for the White House to secure the votes for the President’s nominee. Grassley would like to see Blanche confirmed before the August recess as he has an excellent record restoring law and order and keeping Americans safe.”

Cheers to @ChuckGrassley for getting all sides back on track. Grassley works. Grassley delivers. Always. Now let's get Todd Blanche confirmed at the next Attorney General of the United States next week.

CA 4 will treat this appeal as per curiam... Nothing of merit.

New York City In 1993

🚨OP-ED from @frankriccidc on the filibuster: "End it, and Republicans will finally have the chance to advance the full Trump agenda. Keep it, and every Trump priority will sink into procedural quicksand — and Republicans will likely lose in the midterms."

This was THE toy to have in the early ‘70s. I never had one, but knew a couple friends that were lucky enough to own this sweet machine. So much fun!

Switzerland has 26 cantons, each with its own constitution, tax rates, and laws, and the result is one of the wealthiest, most stable countries on earth. That is not a coincidence. You want to understand why Swiss GDP per capita sits around $92,000 while the EU average hovers near $37,000? Start here. Cantons compete for residents and businesses the same way firms compete for customers. Zug kept its corporate tax rate at roughly 11.9%, attracted commodity traders and crypto firms, and watched its population and tax revenues grow. Cantons that taxed aggressively lost mobile capital and productive citizens to neighbors with lighter burdens. This is Tiebout competition working in real life, not a textbook diagram. The federal government in Bern handles defense, monetary policy, and some foreign affairs. Everything else defaults downward. Cantons set income taxes. Communes set property levies. Citizens in Appenzell Innerrhoden voted on local laws by a show of hands in the Landsgemeinde, an open-air assembly, until 1990 for most matters. The feedback loop between decision-makers and the people paying for those decisions stays tight. That tightness disciplines spending in ways no central auditor ever will. Free market thinkers have stressed this for generations: political units must be small enough that exit is credible. When the cost of leaving a bad jurisdiction drops, politicians face real consequences for bad policy. Switzerland kept that cost low by design. A business or family in Basel-Stadt dissatisfied with cantonal policy drives forty minutes to Baselland. No visa. No language barrier. No bureaucratic labyrinth. Just a move. The EU spent decades building the opposite architecture, consolidating regulatory power in Brussels and eliminating the jurisdictional diversity that forces governments to stay honest. Switzerland refused to join. Its per-capita wealth, its low public debt, and its functional civil society arrived because the Swiss preserved the one institutional feature every centralized state destroys first: the credible right to leave.

"Federal law provides yet another avenue for accountability. Under 18 U.S.C. § 175, the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act, it is a federal crime to knowingly develop, produce or assist a foreign state in developing any biological agent for use as a weapon, punishable by life imprisonment. Gain-of-function research conducted at or funded through the Chinese-run Wuhan Institute of Virology, research Fauci's agency helped bankroll, enhanced the transmissibility and lethality of bat coronaviruses. If that research was not conducted for bona fide peaceful purposes, as the statute requires, and if the resulting pathogen escaped the lab and killed millions, prosecutors must examine whether § 175 applies. The deaths of millions demand that no legal theory is left unexplored." foxnews.com/opinion/mike-d…

"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Nkempu entered the U.S. on a visa in June 2023 that allowed her to remain in the country legally until mid-June 2024. The department added that the professor overstayed her visa, which is a violation of the nation’s immigration laws and that she will remain in custody pending deportation proceedings. 'Being in detention is a choice,' DHS said in a statement, adding that the agency offers immigrants in the United States illegally a free flight home and a $2,600 check." thehill.com/homenews/admin…

According to CNN, a third of Democrats now identify as Democratic Socialists. In the meantime, the DSA is pledging to defend China as a socialist model. nypost.com/2026/07/30/us-… It is the very manifestation of what the Soviets called the "useful idiots" of the American elite.

BREAKING: 95 years in prison for Darius Wolfe who carjacked a 66 year-old and an 87-year-old in Pikesville, Baltimore County. There was emotional testimony from both victims. Wolfe has an appalling juvenile criminal history. The judge said he was given chances time and time again to reform his life and never did. His attorneys pleaded for mercy and said he was shot in the face at age 14 in Park Heights and both of his brothers were murdered that same year. @wjz
