Report: Joe Biden’s White House Involved in Raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Residence: President Joe Biden’s administration was involved in the raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence through a “special access request,” according to documents obtained from the National Archives by America First Legal. On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided Mar-a-Lago on the grounds of retrieving alleged classified documents. According to the establishment media, Biden administration officials were “stunned” to hear of the unprecedented action. The Archives also claimed that it had “not been involved in the DOJ investigation.” . . . the evidence is that the Biden White House and the Department of Justice coordinated to obtain the Trump records, and perhaps create a pretext for a law enforcement raid, by way of a “special access request.” "The evidence further suggests that Biden officials in the Executive Office of the President and the Department of Justice unlawfully abused their power and then lied about it to the American people,” he said. “This government, it seems, acknowledges no limits on its power to harass, intimidate, and silence its political opponents.” Facing Democrat Calls to Resign, Absent Feinstein Asks Schumer to ‘Temporarily’ Replace Her on Key Committee: Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) indefinite absence in Washington has sparked calls from her own party members for her resignation and a request from the senator for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to “temporarily” fill her seat on a key panel that decides judicial nominees. Feinstein, 89, has been home recovering from shingles for more than a month, which has caused her to miss dozens of floor votes and hold up Democrats’ approval of President Joe Biden’s pending judicial nominees. The nominees must pass through the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is currently split dead evenly between Republicans and Democrats while Feinstein is away. On Wednesday, fellow Californian Rep. Ro Khanna was the first congressional Democrat to call for Feinstein to step down, saying in a statement, “It is obvious she can no longer fulfill her duties.” Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, another Democrat, soon chimed in that he agreed with Khanna. “Senator Feinstein is a remarkable American whose contributions to our country are immeasurable,” Phillips wrote. “But I believe it’s now a dereliction of duty to remain in the Senate and a dereliction of duty for those who agree to remain quiet.” Merrick Garland: Air National Guardsman Arrested as Suspected Pentagon Leaker: The suspected Pentagon leaker, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, was arrested on Thursday, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland. “Today the Justice Department arrested Jack Douglas Teixeira in connection with an investigation into an alleged unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information,” Garland said during a press briefing. The documents contained classified intelligence, at least some of which appeared to come from the Joint Chiefs’ Directorate of Intelligence’s daily brief, which is shared digitally to thousands in the intelligence community every day. A source told Breitbart News its distribution was curtailed after the leak, and the Pentagon has since confirmed that its distribution has been changed. Another Biden Diplomatic Failure: Saudis to Host Palestinian Terror Group Hamas: President Joe Biden continues to boast, without evidence, that he has strengthened relations with U.S. allies, but Saudi Arabia has different ideas, planning a meeting with the Palestinian terror group Hamas on Sunday. The Times of Israel reported: A senior delegation representing Palestinian terror group Hamas was set to visit Saudi Arabia on Sunday, according to multiple Arabic media reports, representing a major development as Israel’s hopes of forging official ties with Riyadh appear to dwindle further. For many years, Saudi Arabia’s relationship with Hamas has been cold and tense, and the kingdom even arrested many people with ties to the jihadist group, which rules the Gaza Strip and openly seeks Israel’s destruction. But following its landmark rapprochement with Iran, Riyadh appeared set to host a high-level delegation including Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh, his deputy Saleh al-Arouri, and the head of the group abroad, Khaled Mashaal, according to various Palestinian and Arabic-language media outlets, including Jordan’s Al Ghad and the London-based Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. Hamas, an Islamist organization, is committed to Israel’s destruction. It carries out terror attacks against Israel, including suicide bombings and rocket attacks. It rules fellow Palestinians in the Gaza Strip with an iron fist. The Saudis, among other Arab states, backed away from Hamas in recent years. Moreover, when President Donald Trump was in office, Saudi Arabia tacitly backed the Abraham Accords between Arab states and Israel. But President Biden began downgrading relations with Saudi Arabia as soon as he took office, and the Saudis recently restored relations with the Iranian regime — under Chinese auspices. Iran backs Hamas openly. Biden also restored funding to the Palestinians — circumventing a U.S. law that prevents taxpayer funding of the Palestinian Authority while it continues to reward terrorism. California Power Companies Propose Fixed-Rate Bill Based on Income, Not Usage: This is based on a new assembly bill that requires ‘simpler’ electricity bills. Under the proposal: Households earning less than $28,000 a year would pay a fixed charge of $15 a month on their electric bills in Edison and PG&E territories and $24 a month in SDG&E territory.
Households with annual income from $28,000 – $69,000 would pay $20 a month in Edison territory, $34 a month in SDG&E territory and $30 a month in PG&E territory.
Households earning from $69,000 – $180,000 would pay $51 a month in Edison and PG&E territories and $73 a month in SDG&E territory.
Those with incomes above $180,000 would pay $85 a month in Edison territory, $128 a month in SDG&E territory and $92 a month in PG&E territory.
