Joondeph: The public knows RussiaGate was real—but few expect a reckoning

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, Rasmussen Reports Americans largely believe that RussiaGate was more than just smoke and mirrors or a conspiracy theory, as the media suggess. However, despite this belief, only 28 percent of likely voters expect criminal charges against intelligence or Obama-era officials involved in the scandal. In other words, only a quarter of the electorate expects a reckoning. American Spectator columnist Robert Stacy McCain agrees, recently predicting that for RussiaGate accountability, “Don’t bet on it.” That obvious disconnect between public outrage and accountability expectations needs to be examined. The reckoning many call for appears to be out of reach. According to the July 21–23 Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey, 60...

Biden and Obama Tied to Clinton Plan to Fabricate Trump Russia Narrative

By Jerry Dunleavy and John Solomon | Just the News Then-Vice President Joe Biden was the first major Democrat in summer 2016 to publicly try to link Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin after U.S. intelligence intercepted a purported plan by Hillary Clinton's campaign to vilify Trump by falsely linking him to a Russian plot. The timing of Biden's Russia attacks against Trump in July 2016 was striking to U.S. intelligence because it and other events matched predictions in the intercepted evidence from Russian spy agencies, which had claimed to have gained access to the Clinton campaign strategy, officials told Just the News. Biden would become the public face of an effort to attack Trump by linking him to Putin starting in late July 2016 — just as the Democratic National Convention forma...

‘Not a side budget anymore’: English learner costs surge in public schools

By Aaron Gifford | The Epoch Times Federal and state laws mandate accommodations for all English language learners in public schools. Despite federal effectiveness at curbing illegal immigration, most states still allocate extra money for students learning English, regardless of whether they are here legally. All states apply a per-pupil funding formula for local districts. Above that base rate, 47 states and the District of Columbia provide additional money for English language learners. The expanded rates range from $904 to $16,161 per student if that pupil is also low-income, according to the Learning Policy Institute, which estimates there are more than 5 million English learners across K–12 public education. That includes nearly half the student population in the Dallas...

Clapper allies tried to strong-arm DIA analyst into signing off on fake Trump–Russia report

By Margot Cleveland | The Federalist ‘You need to TRUST ME on this,’ Clapper’s crony told the analyst, saying he ‘would need to demonstrate [his] ability to “outgrow”’ the refusal to sign off on assessments he did not concur with.

1,500 Truckers Pulled Off the Road for Failing English Rule Revived by Trump

By Fred Lucas | The Daily Signal FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Following new guidelines from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to enforce English language proficiency for commercial truck drivers, 1,500 drivers have had their licenses placed out of service by law enforcement, The Daily Signal has learned. “‘America First’ means safety first. Americans are a lot safer on roads alongside truckers who can understand and interpret our traffic signs,” Duffy said in May at the signing of the guidelines. “This commonsense change ensures the penalty for failure to comply is more than a slap on the wrist.”  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a division of the Transportation Department, has had longstanding English-language proficiency requirements.  ...

Media Panics as Trump Era Policies Fuel Stronger Than Expected Growth

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist For all the media’s breathless warnings and dire forecasts, the numbers show the economy isn’t collapsing under Trump’s tariffs. Better than expected,” CNBC’s Rick Santelli announced Wednesday morning as fresh data revealed the economy grew at a three percent rate in the second quarter. Data from the Commerce Department shows the U.S. economy expanded at an annual rate of three percent from April through June, surpassing economists’ forecast of approximately two percent growth. Inflation also continues to cool, with the annual rate of inflation at 2.1 percent in the second quarter, compared to 3.7 percent in the first.
