Mortgage fraud case reignites debate over Lisa Cook’s Federal Reserve role

By Randy DeSoto | The Western Journal Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte shared a journalist’s video on Tuesday that he said offers proof that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook engaged in mortgage fraud. President Donald Trump fired Cook, a Biden appointee, last month over allegations of wrongdoing in relation to two mortgages she took out in 2021. In loan applications filled out within weeks of each other, she allegedly listed both a home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a condo in Atlanta, Georgia, as her primary residence. Loans for “primary residences,” as the Reuters news agency noted, “can carry easier terms than those for second homes or investment properties.” Cook has refused to leave her job as governor, and the Federal Res...

Trump Calls for Transparency: Pfizer Must Share Vaccine Data Immediately

By Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs." President Donald Trump issued a Labor Day appeal for Pfizer to share its COVID-19 vaccine data with the CDC and the public immediately. Trump said on Truth Social that Pfizer had shown him impressive numbers on its COVID vaccine, but that they had not made them publicly available. His call for transparency comes after the White House fired CDC Director Susan Monarez last week following her clash with Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over the approval of COVID vaccines.  “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Mi...

Fired for telling the truth: Whistleblower reveals driver’s license racket in Kentucky

New York Post A driver’s licensing office in Kentucky is in hot water after a whistleblower revealed a staggering inside scheme to issue drivers licenses and permits to illegal immigrants without them taking a test or going through a Homeland Security background check.According to a whistleblower complaint filed in April, two employees at one of the offices allegedly pocketed cash from undocumented drivers in exchange for a license by outfitting them with fake documents like birth certificates and social security cards. The scheme only started to unravel when a clerk at the center, Melissa Moorman, was approached by one of the employees to join in on the quote on quote “business venture,” which was charging undocumented drivers $200 a pop.

Agents Told To “Shut It Down” Mid-Investigation in Clinton Probe

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy | Just The News Kid gloves vs. brass knuckles: Newly-declassified timeline shows how the investigation of the Clinton Foundation was hamstrung by FBI and DOJ while baseless Russia collusion marched foward in both agencies against Donald Trump. FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered a bombshell memo written in 2017 chronicling the extensive political obstruction that career agents in three cities faced from their own bosses and the Obama Justice Department during the 2016 election as they probed whether Hillary Clinton engaged in a pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation. "Shut it down!" then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is quoted as demanding in the detailed timeline of political impediments that agents in New York Cit...

Wheat Ridge turns to AI so officers spend less time on paperwork

By Nicole Fierro | KDVR FOX 31 WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (KDVR) — Artificial intelligence is being used more and more in everyday life. Now, the Wheat Ridge Police Department is joining several metro area police departments in using AI technology to cut down time spent on writing out reports. Draft One is a new software tool for Wheat Ridge officers. It takes their body camera footage and data to transcribe what is heard and seen in a matter of seconds. Officers can then review and add to or change the paragraphs in a report. “It is just a great stepping stone for each of our individual officers to build off of,” Wheat Ridge Police Public Information Officer Alex Rose said. “In effect, we’re swapping out writing time, writing everything from scratch and from memory, to editing time ...

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...

Garbo: Why real conservatism demands judgment, not just an algorithm

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In Colorado political circles, the Liberty Scorecard has become a popular benchmark for judging whether a state legislator is a “true conservative.” It’s cited in primaries, shared in campaign materials, and weaponized in internal party battles. On its face, it’s a helpful tool - shining light on legislative votes and offering a snapshot of where elected officials land on key liberty-related issues. Used wisely, it can inform voters and hold lawmakers accountable. But here’s the problem: many conservatives are no longer using the Liberty Scorecard as a tool. They’re using it as a final verdict. This shift from tool to litmus test is not only unwise - it’s politically self-defeating. Treating the Liberty Scorecard as the defi...
