For the third time, the Trump administration has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on criminal charges.
The new charges allege Comey knowingly communicated information related to national defense to a person not entitled to receive it. He also is charged with conspiring with others to violate the law against sharing such information. Here’s more from The New York Post.
Brazil’s Socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva apparently held off a tough challenge from conservative challenger Flávio Bolsonaro in Sunday’s re-election showdown between the two powerhouse candidates. Going into Sunday’s vote, polls had given Bolsonaro a slight edge, so Lula’s tenacity comes as a surprise.
The vote sets Brazil apart from most of Latin America, including Peru Chile, Costa Rico and Colombia, all of which elected new conservative presidents over the past year. American President Donald Trump clearly favored Bolsonaro, who received about 49 percent of the vote, trailing Lula’s 51 percent.
The New York Times says a two-hour election extension, granted by a Lula-aligned judge, might lead to an “annulment” of the election. “This is an extremely serious, critical situation,” said electoral lawyer Priscilla Sodré Pereira to the New York Times. Here’s more from the New York Post.
What’s a bigger threat to America: Islamists or Marxists? With the midterms approaching, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, author of “The Big Guy: How a President and His Son Sold Out America,” argues the two are impossible to separate.
Affordability is driving people into the arms of the Islamist-aligned Democratic Socialists of America. Can Republicans win them back on the economy in the middle of the Iran war, especially with the prices of gas and food so high?
Glenn and Miranda dive into this as well as the positives that are often overlooked, including the record-low poverty rate and Trump’s plan to secure American energy independence. But is the AI revolution that this energy will power more apocalyptic than utopian? And what is being done to prevent an AI takeover?
Miranda breaks down “effective altruism,” the bizarre Silicon Valley moral system being embedded in AI models, and why it is the antithesis of Christianity. And she also explains how Trump is sweet-talking President Xi while kicking China out of the western hemisphere, undoing the access the Biden crime family spent years selling. She closes with hope that young conservatives are ready to rebuild and that America still stands.
Flavio Bolsonaro has an edge in the 2026 presidential election in Brazil, leading 48 percent to 44 percent over current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. But neither has secured the 50 percent majority to win election, so unless the remaining votes provide one of these two the needed margin, we could see a runoff between them.
Bolsonaro is the son of the former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, leading an effort to restore the center-right presidency the senior Bolsonaro established. The father was defeated by the corrupt Da Silva, who took office in 2023. Let’s hope Da Silva doesn’t cheat again, although having done so already, he is most certainly capable of further criminality.
Earlier polls gave Lula the edge over Bolsonaro, but the conservative pulled ahead in election day voting, reflecting a trend throughout Latin America. There are less than 10 percent of the votes remaining to count. If neither candidate clears a majority, the runoff takes place Oct. 25. Here’s more from the New York Post.
Chilling details about Trump shooter Thomas Crooks revealed in bombshell FBI docs. Here’s more from The New York Post.
Ruben Gallego, the Democratic Senator from Arizona, is facing charges of consensual sexual relations involving two different females who worked on the staffs of Gallego’s colleagues. Both of these women were staffers for Texas Democrats.
Gallego was a close friend and associate of Eric Swalwell, the Democratic Congressman from California forced to resign from the U.S. House after multiple staffers accused him of rape and sexual misconduct. No one is charging Gallego of rape, but the New York Post says he’s guilty here of ethical infractions.
It’s hilarious to see so many Democrats facing charges of sexual misconduct, after Leftists are forever lecturing everyone else about their moral superiority. Obviously, they aren’t as ethical or smart as they pretend to be.
Corruption and festering lies follow them like flies swarming over a watermelon. The lesson to remember: Where there’s so much smoke, there’s usually a fire! Here’s more from Braden Langley.
Never-before-seen footage offers a detailed look at Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little Saint James, where multiple survivors have alleged they were trafficked and abused.
The video was filmed by Romanian artist Ion Nicola, who said he worked for Epstein from 2010 to 2019 and captured the island while driving through the property.
The footage shows the island’s main residence, beaches, docks, statues, landscaped grounds, and the distinctive Five Palms building, which Epstein reportedly referred to as his “mosque. Here’s more from the New York Post.
Maine Democrats can select a new Senate hopeful if Graham Platner leaves the race. But there are complications.
First, Platner must withdraw no later than July 13 — this coming Monday.
Platner has implied he might be willing to withdraw, but he wants assurances that whoever replaces him shares his political values.
Talk of his resignation comes after a woman charged he raped her five years ago. The New York Times had information about that allegation a month ago, but sat on it. So we won’t give you an update from the delinquent Times, but instead the New York Post.
An 83-year-old House Democrat has mysteriously gone missing in action – and with zero explanation.
U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida has not voted in the U.S. House of Representatives since April 17th, missing close to 50 votes. This comes as Republicans hold a slender majority, while Democrats struggle to counter them.
Wilson represents a House district located around Miami in Dade County, Florida. Here’s more from The New York Post.
