I agree … I often wish to had lived back then. I found my mom’s love letters to my dad when I was packing to move. I was cracking up at the things she would write about that was the latest drama of that day. One incident was someone lost control of his 1940’s vehicle and drove it on the sidewalk and pedestrians quickly got out of the way and it hit the department store glass window and shattered it. She said “what is this world coming to? Very scary, you can’t even walk on the sidewalk without fearing danger.” Can you imagine reading that one incident in the local newspaper caused her to think that way? It had to be a good life back then and American made products that lasted. Biden Administration Passes Blame to Trump for Deadly Afghanistan Withdrawal: The Biden White House on Thursday blamed former President Donald Trump for the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal after recently completing an internal review, despite President Joe Biden being in office for about eight months at that point, claiming that their options were restricted and their time limited. The Biden White House released a 10-page summary of that review, conducted by the Biden National Security Council, of other reviews done by various government agencies, including the Departments of Defense and State. The summary was released to White House reporters only 10 minutes before a briefing on the review, giving reporters little time to read its contents and formulate questions. At one point, Kirby bragged about how proud the Biden administration was for evacuating 124,000 people from the airport — despite many of them being unvetted or not having helped the U.S. war effort. Nikki Haley: Biden’s Afghanistan Withdrawal Made America Look ‘Completely Defeated’ on World Stage: Former U.N. Ambassador and Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley told Breitbart News that President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal made the United States look “completely defeated” and led to the chaos currently seen on the world stage. “Well, I think if you look at the Russian invasion in Ukraine, I think if you look at China sending over a spy balloon, I think if you look at Iran trying to build a bomb, or you look at North Korea testing ballistic missiles, it all goes back to the debacle that we had in Afghanistan,” Haley said. “I mean, the idea that we left Afghanistan in the middle of the night, without telling our allies, who stood shoulder to shoulder with us for decades, because we asked them to be there,” Haley said. “I mean, think about what that told our allies. More importantly, think about what that told our enemies.” ". . . you look at the fact we left all of our military equipment, and I remember my husband looking at a video, and he was looking at a video of the Taliban and he’s saying, ‘They’re driving our Jeeps,’” Haley said. “And then he goes, ‘They’re holding our guns.’ And then the worst part was, he was like, ‘They’re wearing our uniforms.’” Democrats Are Taking in Multi-Millions from Foreigners and No One Seems to Care: This past week alone, there were multiple articles of top Democrats taking multi-millions from foreigners. This is supposed to be against the law for obvious reasons but no one seems to care. This past week Breitbart reported that Leonardo DiCaprio testified in an Obama campaign money-laundering trial. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio appeared in Washington Monday to testify in the trial of Fugees rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel who is accused of illegally funneling money from fugitive Malaysian financier Jho Taek Low to the Barack Obama campaign through straw donors. It is illegal for foreigners to donate money to U.S. political campaigns. DiCaprio, 48, testified that he was surprised by the amount of money he saw being donated to the Obama campaign. “It was a significant sum — something to the tune of $20-30 million,” DiCaprio said on the stand, according to the New York Post. “I said, ‘Wow that’s a lot of money!’” The Hollywood star was called to testify because he had been a close U.S. associate of Low, having taken his donations for charities as well as financing for his award-winning 2013 film, The Wolf of Wall Street. Low was well-known among Hollywood A-Listers for throwing lavish parties. . . But he is now accused of embezzling his millions and is on the run. Obama was famous for disregarding the law and doing whatever he wanted. This attitude and practice is the current modus operandi in the US government today. Breitbart also reported this week on the Democrat’s new George Soros: Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss. This guy is donating huge sums to Democrat causes that are destroying the country. Billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, a Swiss national who lives in Wyoming, has become a “Democrat-aligned mega-donor,” according to the Associated Press (AP), thanks to his funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to left-wing groups. Pierre Omidyar, an Iranian immigrant, currently the richest man in Hawaii, is a Big Tech billionaire born to wealthy foreign students in Paris, who brought him here as a child. His mother, a Berkeley academic, heads a pro-Iran group financed by her son’s fortune. Omidyar finances both Black Lives Matter and Never Trumpers. These people are doing this because they can. There is no pushback from the right. Interesting with Leonardo DiCaprio testifying … cause he attended the WEF back in 2016 and received an award … - Fair Use - 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.
