President Trump took a swipe at John Cornyn as the RINO Senator refuses to vote to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General.

Senator John Cornyn is continuing his anti-Trump crusade after losing the Texas Senate primary to Ken Paxton earlier this year.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is voting on whether to advance Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination on Thursday.

Tillis and Cornyn are still holdouts and continue to make demands from the DOJ on its language related to restricting Trump’s IRS agreement.

On Tuesday, after whining about the push to cancel August recess over the SAVE America Act, Cornyn went after President Trump’s nomination for Attorney General, Todd Blanche.

“There is no “deal” on Blanche nom. They know what they have to do,” Cornyn said in a post on X.

A reporter asked President Trump about Cornyn’s refusal to vote for Blanche.

“I don’t know what it is, but I haven’t heard that there’s a problem. I’ve heard he’s going through quite nicely,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

“All I can say is Todd Blanche is outstanding, and I thought it was pretty routine because he’s good. You just wouldn’t find a better person,” Trump said.

“Maybe John Cornyn’s upset with me because I didn’t endorse him,” Trump said.

CNN’s Manu Raju caught up with Cornyn later and asked him about the DOJ’s effort to resolve his concerns about the $1.8 billion weaponization fund.

“You would acknowledge though, not having to run for reelection anymore has freed you up! To be more independent from the president! Can you acknowledge that?” Manu Raju asked Cornyn.

“Have you noticed?” Cornyn quipped.

During the primary election against Ken Paxton, Cornyn lied to the voters about his support for President Trump.

After he lost the primary, Cornyn took the mask off and began attacking President Trump.

Later Wednesday, Fox News reported that the DOJ transmitted a new response to Cornyn and Tillis that address their concerns.

The lawsuit became a real problem for the celebrity claimants.

First, the privacy lawsuit loss was a big confidence blow for Prince Harry, especially with the judge saying such tough words against the claimants’ manufactured answers.

But that was not the end of the troubles.

Now, Prince Harry and his celebrity co-claimants may have to pay $13.3 million in interim legal costs to the Daily Mail’s publisher.

Page Six reported:

“Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) is seeking the interim payment from the Duke of Sussex, Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and other plaintiffs from the 2022 lawsuit, which alleged that the publication unlawfully obtained information about them, Reuters reported Wednesday.

ANL’s attorney Anthony White argued in court that his client’s legal costs should be covered by the high-profile figures, starting with the advance payment until the court calculates the final amount owed.”

And what’s more: this interim payment is just the tip of the iceberg, with several outlets talking about a total repayment of legal costs of $46 million (£35 million).

“ANL claimed it spent more than $45 million on legal fees, but the claimants, including Harry’s team, argued that it exceeded the approved budget.

In a written submission, the claimants offered an advance payment of around $10 million instead of the requested $13.3 million, per Reuters. Additionally, they stated that they had insurance that could cover more than $21 million in legal fees.”

President Trump blasted RINO Senate Majority Leader John Thune again on Wednesday after he suggested there is no path forward on the SAVE America Act or nuking the filibuster.

The President has increased pressure on Thune to get his job done, saying earlier this week that the Democrats “can’t believe how lucky they got” with Thune as Senate Leader. Trump previously lit Thune up during a rally in Georgia last week, demanding, “Everybody call John Thune at the Senate. He’s the leader of the Republican Party. And tell him to get this stuff approved!”

WATCH:

“If somebody can show me how we get an outcome, how we get a result, how we get an answer to this, I’m all for it,” Thune said on Monday in response to the President. “But if we are going to be sitting here in endless quorum calls, I don’t know if that’s in anybody’s best interest.”

During a press conference on Wednesday, Thune again poured cold water on the SAVE Act, telling reporters, “We have to have 50 votes, and at the moment, as I’ve said before, we’re probably not there.”

WATCH:

Trump was asked to respond during an Oval Office press conference, and he blasted Thune. “That’s too bad for him. I mean, that’s too bad for him and too bad for the Republican party,” the President said.

“He’s got the votes. He should get it done. He should be able to get it done.”

Trump was also asked whether he thinks Thune is “still the man for the job” of Senate Leader.

“Well, we’re going to find out, and I’ll let you know,” Trump responded, suggesting he may support Thune’s ousting if he can’t get the SAVE America Act passed.

WATCH:

The Gateway Pundit reported on the ongoing feud between Trump and Thune, with Thune lashing out multiple times over the last week and demanding that the White House do his job for him.

Thune recently revealed that at least 15 GOP Senators are actively working against Trump and refuse to vote to terminate the filibuster.

This comes after he lashed out at White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt last week, saying she should stop “pointing the finger at Republicans” but also get on the phone herself to get the Republican votes.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video showing smoke shops and bodegas across New York City processing EBT cards for drugs and alcohol.

OMG released part one of the latest sting, dubbed, “Fraud Is The New Dope” on Wednesday.

NYC clerks were caught swiping the EBT card for illicit substances.

Per the OMG:

We went undercover inside smoke shops and bodegas across New York City to answer a simple question: Would retailers accept taxpayer-funded EBT benefits to pay for alcohol or drugs?

Store after store attempted to process EBT cards for kratom, a psychoactive substance that is not eligible for purchase with SNAP or EBT benefits. One clerk attempted to process the purchase as “EBT Cash.” Another processed it as “EBT Food”, treating kratom as if it were groceries.

Federal law 7 CFR 278 and 7 U.S.C 2012 prohibits retailers from accepting SNAP or EBT benefits for non-food items, including drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. According to the investigation, these transactions may violate federal SNAP regulations, New York State regulations, and the USDA SNAP Retailer Agreement.

To verify the rules, I called the number on the back of the NY EBT card. An EBT representative confirmed that drugs cannot be purchased directly with an EBT card. The representative also acknowledged that recipients who withdraw “EBT Cash benefits” can spend that cash however they choose, including on drugs or alcohol.

The investigation uncovered even more. One smoke shop provided a receipt bearing the name and address of an entirely different business. When we tracked down that business, employees said they had no connection to the smoke shop, proving that a cloned payment terminal may have been used to disguise the transactions. We discovered that the legitimate business was unaware its credentials were being used. This is consistent with the use of a cloned terminal, involving transaction laundering or merchant identity fraud under 18 U.S.C. 1343.

When we confronted those involved, they denied the transactions had occurred. Moments later, members of our team were confronted outside the store, and one individual threatened to shoot us.

How much taxpayer money is being diverted through fraud in the EBT system?

The bomb threat was a hoax.

A day after a shot was fired towards the US Consulate in Toronto, Canada, another emergency incident has involved a US diplomatic building.

This time, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The American Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, had to be evacuated earlier today (29) due to a reported bomb threat.

A huge police presence was set up around the perimeter of the embassy, in the Palermo neighborhood of the Argentine capital.

Daily Express reported:

“A message from the US Embassy in Argentina later said the threat ‘was ruled out following a thorough investigation’, and added ‘all staff are safe’.

Sources from the City Police told local media that staff at the embassy received a phone call in which an anonymous person said: ‘There is a bomb outside the embassy. For this reason, the Argentine Federal Police are working at the scene’.”

The threat was reportedly made via a phone call, leading to the preventive evacuation.

The Explosives Unit of the Argentine Federal Police and the Fire Department continued to work at the scene.

“Another police spokesperson previously added that ‘the Explosives Brigade has been deployed to the scene. The street has been closed off and the brigade is carrying out the necessary procedures around the perimeter of the diplomatic headquarters’.”

This is a developing story.
