Tucker Carlson on Trump Prosecutions: ‘You’re Going to Get Violence if You Keep This Sh-t Up’
Tucker Carlson, founder of the Tucker Carlson Network, said Monday on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” that violence was likely if Donald Trump is in prison ahead of the November election.
Discussing what could happen if Trump is convicted in the federal election case, Megyn Kelly said, “If she puts him in jail pending appeal before the election the country’s going to burn. Then all this blowback, ‘Oh my God she is calling for violence.’ I’m not calling for violence. But there is no way the Trump base is not going to be beside itself with anger at that level of deprivation of being able to simply vote for the candidate of choice. That’s what’s being taken away here.”

Zelenskyy denies corruption remains a significant problem in Ukraine
As we’ve been reporting, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been in Washington as part of last-ditch efforts to secure American funding for Ukraine.
In a briefing with senators, he tried to persuade them that corruption is no longer a significant problem in his country and that it would not be a reason to stop giving aid.
North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis said after the meeting: “I think the notion of corruption came up because some have said we can’t do it, because people will buy yachts with the money.
“He disabused people of those notions with the reforms that he’s made out the [International Monetary Fund] and [European Union]. There have been substantial reforms.”

China, Accused of Political Prisoner Live Organ Harvesting, Hosts Organ ‘Donation’ Summit
The Chinese state-run Global Times boasted on Sunday that the Communist Party had tallied “more than 40,200 deceased organ donations from 2015 to the end of 2022, with 120,100 major organs donated,” and had convinced over 6.5 million Chinese people to register for organ donations.
China uses a draconian “social credit system” to control the actions of its population, granting higher “scores” to people who are more fervent communists or engage in activity the regime chooses to prize while restricting the civil rights of those who practice a religion, publicly disagree with the government, or otherwise run afoul of the “Party.”
The Global Times also announced agreements with the neighboring country of Kazakhstan in which Beijing offered to train Kazakh doctors at Xinjiang Medical University hospital, a facility in occupied East Turkistan, and share expertise on organ donation.

Zelensky arrived on Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning to try to persuade Congress to continue to provide aid to help Urkaine prevail in Russia’s war on the country.
Johnson reportedly had a good meeting with Zelensky, but said afterward House GOP’s stance remains the same: funding for Ukraine must come coupled with border security.
Spokane lawmaker calls for more accountability of homeless services funding
According to Washington’s Office of Financial Management, the state has allocated more than $2.4 billion toward a wide range of efforts to reduce homelessness and address a growing housing shortage through partnerships with local communities and organizations.
The Washington Department of Commerce oversees multiple programs using state and federal funds for services that include street outreach, emergency shelter, services for homeless students, rental assistance, housing search and placement, and funding for landlords.
Graham said drug use, crime, and the closing of stores, shops, and restaurants “all go hand-in-hand” with the homeless epidemic in Spokane and across the state.
Republican impeachment inquiry to be voted on this week
This vote is not to impeach the president, but to formalize the inquiry itself, which was initially kicked off earlier this year by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who has since announced his retirement from Congress.
“This week, House Republicans are going to bring a resolution to the floor to formalize our impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told reporters Tuesday, saying the vote will allow the investigation to continue.
“The evidence mounting against the president cannot be ignored,” Emmer added. “We know that Joe Biden has lied to or misled the American people about his knowledge of his son’s business dealings over and over again, and it is very likely that he was involved in and benefited from his family’s corrupt business dealings as well.”
Trump: N.Y. Judge’s Gag Order Prevented Testimony
Trump added that Engoron “put a GAG ORDER on me, even when I testify, totally taking away my constitutional right to defend myself,” and said his side is appealing. “How would you like to be a witness and not be allowed free and honest speech. THE TRIAL IS RIGGED. I DID NOTHING WRONG!!!”
Meanwhile, Engoron said Tuesday that he will allow James to call two witnesses during the state’s rebuttal after the Trump team rests its case, and Kise argued that the “government has held these witnesses back. “
Engoron, though, said he saw “no reason not to allow these two purported experts to testify.”
Trump attorneys said they may present an additional witness after the state’s rebuttal.
SHOCKING 7-year-old video sheds new light on Ukraine/Russia war
A clip from 2016 has resurfaced and it’s shocking. In it, Sen. Lindsey Graham tells Ukrainian soldiers that “2017 will be the year of offense” against Russia.
So, was this a lie, or was the plan to start a war thwarted? Glenn questions how odd it is that before Trump took office, American war mongers were talking about a Ukrainian/Russian war and then right after Trump left, the war began.
Have American politicians been planning for this war for 7 years? Did Trump’s presidency delay it?

HOW TAX-EXEMPT NONPROFITS SKIRT U.S. LAW TO TURN OUT THE DEMOCRAT BASE IN ELECTIONS
More than 150 progressive nonprofits spent $1.35 billion on political activities in 2021 and 2022, according to data compiled by Restoration of America, a conservative political action committee.
Although there are no readily available estimates of comparable conservative efforts, observers say they are overmatched.
The progressive nonprofits include faith-based groups, ethnic activist operatives, and colleges and universities, which have taken on an outsized part of the Democratic party’s election strategy.
