The Federal government has filed a second attempt at indicting former President Trump on four counts related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. It was filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Special Counsel Smith’s appointment was recently ruled unlawful in the documents case but it would seem that he still has the power to keep going on the election case. Not sure how that works.
The indictment was revised after the Supreme Court ruled that he had immunity for much of the actions he took under his official role as the President. An excellent breakdown of that distinction can be found here.
The new indictment makes the case that there were things that President Trump did outside of his official capacity as president that can be found criminal. It alleges that he spoke about election irregularities while “on notice that his claims were untrue” in order to retain the presidency.
A conference between the parties is set for September 5 and most likely the prosecution will extend beyond the election, after which time… it’s anyone’s guess at this point.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that he’s got a new plan for success in his war with Russia. Suuuuuuure he does.
Zelensky says that he is planning to meet President Biden at the United Nations General Assembly in September and he will show him this plan in order to get him to sign off on it.
“The success of this plan depends on him. Will they give what we have in this plan or not. Will we be free to use what we have in this plan or not,” Zelensky said on Tuesday.
This comes as the Pentagon has rebuffed Zelensky’s requests for authorization to launch deep strikes into Russian territory. According to RT, The Pentagon responded thusly:
“‘Our policy has not changed,’ Pentagon spokesman Major-General Patrick Ryder said on Tuesday, explaining that Ukraine is allowed to use US-supplied weapons to defend from cross-border attacks but not for ‘deep strikes’ into Russian territory.”
Zelensky’s only plan for success would involve peace negotiations with Russia but he continues to burn that path in a scorched earth while people die. This idea of a new plan is clearly a new play for attention by the war criminal.

Iran says that it is open to a new nuclear deal with the U.S. but the State Department is not.
“We will judge Iran’s leadership by their actions, not their words,” a State Department spokesperson said Tuesday. “If Iran wants to demonstrate seriousness or a new approach, they should stop nuclear escalations and start meaningfully cooperating with the IAEA.”
That’s nonsense. The IAEA, or International Atomic Energy Agency, has MANY TIMES said that it is satisfied with the cooperation and nuclear inspections that the Iranian government has allowed.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that there was “no harm” in engaging with the “enemy,” by which they mean the U.S.
The newly sworn-in president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said that he wants the West to lift sanctions in exchange for direct engagement with the U.S.
Dave McMenamin is trending because Vogue did a feature on his lavish San Francisco wedding to fellow ESPN reporter Malika Andrews.
Wade Williams is trending because the man known as the Deadpool Killer who murdered two women in 2019 just for the sake of killing was sentenced to death on Tuesday.
Armie Hammer is trending because the actor is selling his truck because he says that he can no longer afford the gas. People speculate that scandals have hit the actor hard but he says that he’d rather drive a hybrid and start fresh for his birthday, which is today.

2,492-carat. That is the size of a diamond that was found in Botswana, which experts say is the largest diamond to be mined since 1905.
Four. That is how many people will go up in a SpaceX mission to try to “soar to altitudes higher than any human has traveled since NASA’s Apollo program ended in the 1970s.” They will also “plunge the vehicle and crew into a radiation belt, adding another element of peril to the already treacherous experience of spaceflight.” And then they will “open the hatch of their spacecraft and expose themselves to the vacuum of space, marking the first time such a feat has been attempted by non-government astronauts.”
365,000. That is how many people have been without power in Michigan after severe storms on Tuesday.
Vice President Kamala Harris says that she will build a wall to Mexico if elected President. What an original idea!
Harris says that she would approve the budget to finish the border security wall because since taking responsibility for the Southern border, she has utterly failed and allowed millions to cross illegally. The border wall was once something she opposed as “un-American.” And she said it wouldn’t stop anyone from coming across the border.
It is also so perplexing that she says that she would secure the border if she were in office and yet…she IS in office!
Axios points out that this is one of many issues that the Vice President has flipped on “such as supporting Medicare for All and banning fracking — proposals that aides say she now is against.”
Aides have had to say it because she hasn’t said it. She hasn’t said much outside of her campaign ads and DNC speech. She scheduled an interview on CNN but is bringing her running mate Tim Walz along with her, which some say is a crutch.
