STUNNING: USAID + THE BIG GRIFT

Looks like USAID supported college tuition forAnwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist.

Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept.when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico.

Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ's Yemen affiliate.

Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ's cause.

Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.

This 1997 Aulaqi mugshot is for soliciting prostitutes.

HOW CURIOUS: Jill Biden’s New Book Suddenly Vanishes From NY Times Bestseller List, Raising Questions About Actual Sales Numbers

by Mike LaChance Jun. 30, 2026

Jill Biden’s new book was on the New York Times bestseller list until it suddenly vanished this week. Isn’t that strange?

Usually, when a book is a bestseller, it stays on the list for a while. In this case, it fell from 1st place to 3rd and then suddenly just wasn’t there anymore.

This raises serious questions about the actual sales numbers for the book. It reinforces the idea that books like this one get boosted by bulk sales from political groups.

The New York Post reported:

Jill Biden memoir’s disappearance from NYT bestseller list after debuting at top raises questions about sales numbers: ‘Very rare’

Former First Lady Jill Biden’s memoir had a brief run atop the New York Times bestseller list before tumbling out of the rankings just weeks later — fueling online speculation that its lofty debut owed more to bulk book orders than to sustained reader demand.

“View from the East Wing,” which was published by Simon & Schuster’s imprint Gallery Books, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction list on June 21 with a dagger (†) symbol indicating that retailers reported some bulk purchases.

By the following week, it had slipped to No. 3, and it has since fallen off the list altogether.

The sharp drop has sparked claims on social media that the 299-page book reached the top through orchestrated buying campaigns instead of real consumer demand.

Former FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver was among the most prominent critics, writing on X that the memoir “debuted at #1 on the NYT due to astroturfed bulk orders” before noting that it was “completely” off the list two weeks later and calling such a rapid decline “very rare.”

Publishing experts caution that the reality is more nuanced.

Conservative talk host Jesse Kelly offered this response to the news.

Writing books is how Democrats get rich. How does this work because nobody wants to buy said books?

They get a huge advance. 6 or 7 figures. Then various communist “non-profits” and other groups buy the books in bulk. It’s a bestseller, but nobody reads it. Rinse and repeat. https://t.co/3orGPMM3hW

— Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) June 30, 2026

Even liberal poll analyst Nate Silver is talking about this.

It debuted at #1 on the NYT due to astroturfed bulk orders (not my opinion it got the infamous † indicating this) and is now completely off the list 2 weeks later. Very rare for a "#1" to fall that fast. Virtually no one except political reporters are actually reading it. https://t.co/dUU8kswlDN

— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) June 27, 2026

We all know what happened here, don’t we?

This is how Democrats make a quick buck when they’re out of power. Read Jesse Kelly’s tweet again. He pretty much nailed it.

Trump’s financial disclosure lists $1.4 billion in crypto earnings, powered largely by meme coins

The annual report also includes $80 million in income from settlements tied to his lawsuits against companies like ABC, CBS, Meta and YouTube.

June 30, 2026, 7:27 PM EDT

President Donald Trump earned more than $635 million from a licensing agreement with a cryptocurrency group specializing in “meme” coins bearing his name last year, an amount that pushed his total crypto holdings past $1 billion, according to a lengthy financial disclosure form he released Tuesday.

The figures from 2025 — the first year of Trump’s second term — were disclosed to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics in a 927-page document. By comparison, President Barack Obama’s final disclosure form was eight pages, while President Joe Biden’s was 11. Vice President JD Vance’s form for last year is 17 pages.

Trump’s meme-coin earnings came on top of more than $236 million worth from additional crypto token sales, and an additional sale of equity worth more than $65 million associated with Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial. There’s also more than $290 million classified as income from cryptocurrency wallets associated with World Liberty.

The $635 million was earned from a group called “Celebration Coins.” No digital footprint could be found for the group, and a representative for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.

A recent letter from Senate Democrats said a company called “Celebration Cards” registered in Wyoming — which is now a major crypto hub — facilitated a crypto conference at Mar-a-Lago in April.

“Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest,” a White House representative said in a statement Tuesday. “President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act, and other commonsense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans.”

Unlike past presidents, Trump did not divest his assets or place them in a blind trust before taking office. The Trump Organization has said the assets are managed by third-party financial institutions, with trades executed through automated technology.

“What strikes me as remarkable is how many pies Trump has his fingers in,” said Douglas Brinkley, a history professor at Rice University. “There is no precedent to compare it with. No president in the 20th or 21st century has had something that’s vaguely comparable.”

Trump has faced bipartisan criticism for alleged conflicts of interest, assertions the White House has vigorously denied.

Trump’s total crypto earnings totaled some $1.4 billion during his first year back in office, when he began making liberalized cryptocurrency regulations a cornerstone of his presidency.

The disclosure also lists Trump’s investment accounts as buying and selling shares of the GEO Group, a private prison company and one of the largest contractors with ICE.

Starting just 10 days after his inauguration, the disclosure shows Trump’s investment accounts made purchases of the prison company. As the number of immigrant detainees swelled from 35,000 to almost 70,000, the purchases increased with the total ranging from $143,000 to $445,000. The last purchase was listed in late November. The stock that was sold ranges from $67,000 to $180,000.

Because many of the amounts listed on the disclosure form are reported as ranges, it is impossible to state exactly how much Trump earned last year from his tens of thousands of investments.

Before Tuesday, Forbes estimated the president’s net worth at $6 billion, while Bloomberg put it at $7.6 billion.

“This disclosure once again demonstrates that The Trump Organization continues to maintain a strong financial position, supported by world class, valuable assets, substantial liquidity and a conservative balance sheet,” a representative for Trump’s business firm said in a statement, adding that the form’s length “underscores our commitment to transparency.”

“At nearly 1,000 pages, it represents one of the most comprehensive financial disclosure reports ever submitted and demonstrates a level of financial transparency unmatched in presidential history.”

Zelensky’s top rival vows to challenge him in election – media

The Ukrainian leader would lose to former army chief Valery Zaluzhny in a run-off, according to polling cited by Ukrainskaya Pravda

Published 1 Jul, 2026 13:41

Former top Ukrainian General Valery Zaluzhny has told Vladimir Zelensky he will challenge him in the next presidential election, with current polling suggesting he would win in a run-off, Ukrainskaya Pravda reported on Wednesday, citing sources. Zelensky’s presidential term expired more than two years ago, and he has since been reluctant to hold a new election despite repeated calls from the US.

Zaluzhny, now ambassador to the UK, was summoned back to Kiev last week – officially to discuss the political turmoil in London, where Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that he would soon step down. The real reason, the outlet said, was Zelensky’s concern that Zaluzhny will run for president.

In a one-on-one meeting, Zelensky told the former commander that the current battlefield situation has created a “window of opportunity” for an election, but warned that it has to be held in a way that will not divide the country.

Zelensky reportedly asked Zaluzhny: “If elections are held in autumn, will you run?”Zaluzhny replied, “Yes, I will.”

Zelensky did not offer his rival any posts, Ukrainskaya Pravda said – though sources in government circles claimed that the Ukrainian leader was ready to discuss almost any post, including prime minister.Zaluzhny reportedly said that while he has never sought a political career, he could not betray the trust of the Ukrainian people who are counting on him.

Several top Zelensky allies later tried to sway Zaluzhny, without success. As the talks broke down, one negotiator reportedly told Zaluzhny: “Bro, think it over again.”

Zaluzhny was dismissed as army commander-in-chief in February 2024 and was sent off to London to serve as ambassador – a move widely seen as an attempt by Zelensky to sideline a potential rival.Zaluzhny has since consistently topped Zelensky in trust ratings. Though he insists that he has no political ambitions, media reports suggest that he is gearing up for a presidential run.

A closed poll cited by Ukrainskaya Pravda puts Zelensky first with 33% support, ahead of Zaluzhny with 22% and top Zelensky aide Kirill Budanov with 14%. In a run-off, however, Zaluzhny would defeat Zelensky 37% to 32%, and narrowly defeat Budanov 34% to 32%.

Zelensky’s presidential term expired in May 2024. He has refused to call a new election, citing martial law, which was imposed after the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in early 2022. Moscow has since declared him illegitimate and argues that his dubious legal status as leader is an obstacle to signing a peace agreement.

Zelensky has been pressured to hold a new election by US President Donald Trump, who once called him a “dictator without elections.” Zelensky responded by saying he is ready to hold an election, but demanded that Ukraine’s supporters ensure its security.

US security chief gloats over Iran’s World Cup exit

Iranians were indignant after the DHS head said he “danced a happy dance” while targeting their team

Published 1 Jul, 2026 12:4

(Iran banned a lot of athletes if the condemned Iran.)

US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, whose agency was responsible for enforcing controversial security measures targeting the Iranian soccer team at the World Cup, has said the job made him dance with joy and he was happy Iran was eliminated.

Iran exited the tournament, which the US is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico, after three draws against New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt during the group stage. Iranian officials complained that, unlike other teams, Iranian players were not allowed to stay in the US and instead had to travel for training and games in Los Angeles and Seattle from Tijuana, Mexico.

“I’m just glad they’re done, and they’re not coming back,” Mullin told an interagency meeting on Monday, as first reported by Sports Business Journal. He added that “there wasn’t a single team that we dealt with more than them.”

“I was so happy when we were able to pull their visas and said they could leave US soil, and I might have sung a song or two, or maybe danced a happy dance,” the senior official said.

Mullin claimed the Iranians had no reason to complain, saying the DHS had taken measures to prevent harassment, including by having Customs and Border Protection agents screen team members in Mexico instead of upon arrival in the US.

The Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI), whose president, Mehdi Taj, was denied a visa by US authorities, criticized Mullin’s remarks, saying “Iranians are used to the mistreatment and lies of US officials” and were not surprised. The dance quip “reveals more about his own character than it does about our team,” demonstrating “contempt and narrow-mindedness,” the statement added.

The US domestic security agency easedtravel restrictions ahead of Iran’s last game, against Egypt in Seattle, after Tehran complained to FIFA, arguing that its players were at a significant disadvantage.

“We have to fight against everything here,”team captain Mehdi Taremi said after last Friday’s match.

Russia seizes mammoth cocaine haul hidden in frozen fish – FSB

Security services found more than half a ton of drugs in a contraband shipment from Ecuador at a St. Petersburg port, the agency has said

Published 1 Jul, 2026 10:44 |

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has announced that it has disrupted a major drug supply route from Latin America to the country and has seized over half a ton of cocaine hidden inside a shipment of frozen fish from Ecuador.

In a statement on Wednesday, the agency said the drugs were found in a container that arrived at the Great Port of St. Petersburg by sea. The cocaine had been concealed inside legally imported frozen, ungutted tuna carcasses.

A Russian citizen suspected of helping organize the scheme has been detained. An FSB operative noted that the suspect was unemployed and had been linked to a criminal group involved in cocaine smuggling.

The agency released footage of the raid, showing officers detaining the man and cutting open dozens of frozen tuna with a chainsaw to remove hundreds of packages of cocaine.

FSB operatives also searched the suspect’s home, where they seized digital devices containing crypto wallets with the equivalent of $613,000, 13 luxury watches worth more than $1.3 million, and five high-end cars valued at no less than $1.6 million.

Investigators in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region have opened a criminal case on attempted drug trafficking on an especially large scale. The suspect is being held in custody and faces a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in prison.

The bust follows several major cocaine seizures in Russia in recent years. In September 2025, the FSB said officials in St. Petersburg had intercepted a record 1,500 kg of cocaine hidden in a shipment of bananas from Latin America, worth more than $240 million.

The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) warned in June that global cocaine use has continued to soar in recent years, outpacing all other narcotics. Its illegal production skyrocketed to a record 4,000 tons in 2024, more than four times the level recorded a decade earlier. Consumption has also increased from an estimated 17 million people worldwide in 2013 to more than 25 million in 2024.
