Texas Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar, Wife Indicted for Bribery:

The Department of Justice announced the indictment of U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and his wife, Imelda, on charges of accepting bribes. Cuellar, the representative for Texas 28th Congressional District, has been in office since 2005. The indictments come more than two years after agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation served a search warrant on Cuellar’s Laredo home.

DOJ officials stated that the congressman and his wife are charged with accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from an energy company in Azerbaijan. Cuellar and his wife appeared before Magistrate Judge Dena Palermo in Houston.

Prosecutors claim the couple accepted the bribes from the energy company controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan and a bank located in Mexico City. The payments were laundered through sham consulting contracts. The congressman then provided influence for the energy company to affect U.S. foreign policy and to pressure U.S. Executive Branch officials to benefit the bank’s interest, prosecutors stated.

In the statement, Cuellar said “I want to be clear that both my wife and I are innocent of these allegations. Everything I have done in Congress has been to serve the people of South Texas.” The congressman continues to seek re-election this November.

Elon Musk sounds alarm about America's national debt, warning that without action, 'the dollar will be worth nothing':

Wealthy business magnate Elon Musk is sounding the alarm about America's massive national debt, warning that unless action is taken to tackle the problem, the U.S. dollar will become worthless.

The country's national debt is more than $34 trillion, according to fiscaldata.treasury.gov.

Responding to Musk, Ed Krassenstein wrote, "The problem is that no administration wants to take on the National Debt issue because the long-term fix is likely a short-term detriment to the economy."

"Well, something's gotta give. We should at least slow down the debt growth," Musk replied.

GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky has suggested that the national debt is the "greatest threat" to America's national security and warned that "we are threatening the very existence of our currency, and perhaps our country, by this crazy profligate spending."

"The national debt is the greatest threat our country faces — and we are rapidly approaching the crisis point," Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga of Michigan, and Democratic Rep. Scott Peters of California declared in a joint opinion piece posted on The Hill. "It is time for Congress to put the interests of the country ahead of political expediency and get us on sound fiscal footing before it is too late."

Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming has also expressed the view that "our debt is the greatest threat our country faces today."

Nancy Pelosi: If Democrats Win, We Will Kill the Filibuster and Legalize Abortions Up to Birth Nationwide:

In an interview on Monday, radically pro-abortion former Speaker Nancy Pelosi made the Democrats' extreme abortion agenda crystal clear. She said that if Democrats win Congress, they will kill the filibuster in the Senate so they can legalize abortions up to birth nationwide.

This is a stark reminder to every pro-life voter in America that pro-life Republicans must win Congress and Joe Biden can’t be re-elected.

In an interview Monday on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” Pelosi falsely claimed “People have to view abortion as a democracy issue. This is about freedom to make your own decisions for a woman."

Tur asked, “If President Biden gets reelected and there’s a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate, what can President Biden do to protect abortion nationwide?”

“We can enshrine into the law Roe v. Wade,” she responded.

Tur said, “That would take two-thirds in the Senate.”

She then laid out the radical abortion agenda: “No it doesn’t. It’s 60 votes in the Senate now but if we win 50-plus-1 in the Senate, 50 plus the vice president, we can overturn the 60-vote rule.”

Tur said, “The filibuster.”

Pelosi confirmed: “The filibuster and pass it with a 51-vote margin. That’s what we need to do.”

She said Democrats would go even further and overturn every pro-life law in America.

Report: White House Considers Inviting Gaza Palestinians as Refugees:

The White House has reportedly been considering whether or not to accept Palestinians from Gaza as refugees amid Israel’s war with Hamas.

According to internal federal documents obtained by CBS News, senior officials in the Biden administration and U.S. agencies have “discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents.”

The documents show that welcoming Palestinians under the United States Refugee Admissions Program has been proposed as a means to bring people into the country from war-torn Gaza.

CBS News added:

Top U.S. officials have also discussed getting additional Palestinians out of Gaza and processing them as refugees if they have American relatives, the documents show. The plans would require coordination with Egypt, which has so far refused to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza.

Potential refugees would need to pass various security and medical screenings before they could be granted access to the United States and the numerous benefits associated with refugee resettlement in the country, including permanent residency, housing assistance, and a pathway to American citizenship.

While exact numbers are difficult to estimate, local public health officials say as many as 34,000 Palestinians have died in the Gaza conflict, while several hundred thousand have been displaced from their homes. Egypt and other neighboring countries in the region have refused to take in refugees.

President Trump: Joe Biden Seems to Be Determined for an October 7 Style Event Here in America:

President Trump spoke to supporters in Waukesha, Wisconsin on Wednesday where he concentrated on Joe Biden’s failed policies that are crippling America.

During his speech, President Trump noted that Joe Biden is going to start bringing Jew-hating Palestinians into the country from Gaza. Polling found that 68% to 89% of Palestinians support terror attacks on Israel. Joe Biden wants to bring these people into the US.

Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from Gaza, lots of people from Gaza, and various other places, Yemen, lots of other places. You Now, just let the world simmer down a little bit, please. He’s now delivering thousands. He just announced last night he’s going to deliver thousands of people to a town near you. Joe Biden seems to be determined to… He’s just determined to create the conditions for an October seventh-style attack right here in America. It’s going to happen with all of these people coming in from the Southern border… Did you see where, and nobody knew this, that for a year and a half, they’ve been actually flying planes in and landing in towns all over the country, and they’re flying them in by the thousands for an October 7th attack here in America!

Trump’s right.
Even Trump-hating FBI Chief Chris Wray says there are concerns of a coordinated terror attack on US soil.

Another Biden Disaster: US Troops Now Being Forced Out of Chad – As a Majority of Troops are Being Forced Out of Neighboring Niger – Abandoning a $100 Million Airbase:

Another Joe Biden foreign policy disaster is in the works.

Joe Biden already turned over the Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan to Taliban terrorists in September 2021.

Biden abandoned Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years in July by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ secret departure more than two hours after they left.

The Taliban quickly took control of Bagram Air Base, which is only 30 miles north of Kabul, on August 15th and released thousands of terrorists held at its prison. The Americans and Afghans left the Taliban military equipment, uniforms, rations and even sports drinks.  The ISIS suicide bomber who murdered 13 US servicemen and women and 169 Afghans was released by the Taliban from the Bagram Base prison in July.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) exposed the latest Biden foreign policy failure – this time in Niger, Africa.  US troops are trapped in the country allegedly without water and medicine. The Army was likely hiding this to protect itself from embarrassment. Deployed Americans are in limbo and unable to do their jobs and the Biden State Department is completely outmaneuvered once again.
It now appears the US has a trade offer from the military junta in Niger.  The Russian-backed military junta in Niger will release the 1,000 US soldiers trapped at the base in exchange for the keys to the $100 million American airbase in the country.

This report is unbelievable. The US is no longer respected under Joe Biden.  The AP reported:

The United States will pull the majority of its troops from Chad and Niger as it works to restore key agreements governing what role there might be there for the American military and its counterterrorism operations, the Pentagon said Thursday.
