The media was hyping a coup attempt in Russia that turned out to be just a “protest.” Wagner Leader Prigozhin was upset about something to do with the Russian Military Leadership, so he called his men home and marched toward Moscow. Rumors were that Putin fled as a precaution when the Wagner column was just 180 miles outside of Moscow. Then the Belarusian President got involved and negotiated terms that allowed the leader of the Wagner group and his loyal soldiers to find refuge in, AKA be exiled to, Belarus. Reports say the “protest” was called off when Wagner leadership was warned their families would face retaliation if they did not stop. Even though he was promised safe passage and exile in Belarus, anyone with a hint of how Putin operates has said that Prigozhin is a “dead man walking,” and Putin all but confirmed as much in his speech Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Biden Administration announced ANOTHER $500 million in aid to Ukraine. This comes after the Pentagon declared that a budgeting trick, whereby they calculate the cost of the munitions and weaponry sent to Ukraine based on the purchase price, NOT replacement price (which is what they were using), means they’ve come up with another $6.2 Billion in available Ukraine aid.
Representatives Gaetz and MTG are making a play to defund the ATF. They have notified Congressional leadership that they plan to use the Holman Rule to revoke the ATF’s funding. This is not the first time these two have tried to get the ATF disbanded.
The Covid Origin Report was finally declassified and released. The PDF is available here. It is underwhelming and only seems to parrot the same lies we’ve heard since March 2020. The most troubling bit is that the US Govt depended on the Chinese government and the WHO to verify that the lab workers who got sick in late 2019, right before the outbreak happened, did not have Covid.
Trump Stories
Special Counsel Jack Smith has asked for the trial date for the classified documents case in FL to be pushed back until December. Trump’s lawyers are still waiting for their security clearances to come through before they can be allowed to review the evidence. Delaying will give both sides a chance to prepare for the trial adequately.
