* Both Candidates Shield Top Dollar Fund-Raisers – Political campaigns are not required to disclose the names of their fund-raising ‘bundlers,’ – Theodore Schleifer.
* The Biden Administration’s DOJ announced it will cover potential damages for Trump in a lawsuit against the clearing of BLM protesters outside the White House in 2020, according to court filings released Monday.
James Touhey Jr., director of the Torts Branch in the civil division of the DOJ, wrote in the filing that Trump is entitled to the DOJ’s financial support for damages in a civil lawsuit filed in 2020 that alleges he violated the rights of BLM protesters by supposedly using the National Guard and DC police, equipped with tear gas and riot gear, to forcibly clear Lafayette Square in order to take photos in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church.
* In 2020, Democrats widely criticized and blamed Trump for the events of the day, with Kamala Harris saying in June of that year on X that Trump “tear-gassed peaceful protesters,” with an investigation later revealing that Trump did not directly order law enforcement to disperse the protesters. “On the basis of the information now available with respect to the claims set forth therein, I find that Trump was acting within the scope of federal office or employment at the time of the incident.
* Will ‘KamalaGate’ sink Harris’ candidacy? – ‘What did she know and when did she know it?’ – Jack Cashill, WND.com
* “KamalaGate,” Los Angeles filmmaker Joel Gilbert and I ask two basic questions of Kamala Harris.
* The first is, “Why did you lie about where you were on January 6, 2021?” – “Why did you tell no one where you really were?”
* These lies had immediate consequences. For nearly a year, January 6 prosecutors told jurors that Harris “remained within the Capitol building” throughout the day.
* Utah filed a major lawsuit with the Supreme Court on Tuesday that could have major implications for federalism and the administration of public lands across the country if successful.
* Utah’s lawsuit contends that the BLM does not have the authority to effectively hold “unappropriated” state lands indefinitely under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), the state announced.
The federal government controls about 18.5 million acres of “unappropriated” Utah land under the FLPMA, and Utah’s suit argues that the state ought to control this land because nothing in the Constitution expressly permits the federal government to do so.
* When the federal government controls two-thirds of Utah, we are extremely limited in what we can do to actively manage and protect our natural resources,” Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said in a statement.
