Todd Blanche was questioned at the confirmation hearing by the Senate. The hearing was very contentious at times and filled with political fireworks. Also, Todd Blanche proved that he would submit to the interests of Trump unconditionally instead of following the Constitution, even if constitutional law contradicts the agenda of Trump. For Blanche to justify the pardoning of January 6th terrorists (many of them convicted of seditious conspiracy) by virtue of him saying that the President has the legal right to pardon who he wants shows his moral lacking. The January 6th terrorists tried to overthrow the government, and these criminals should be in prison not coddled. Blanche was asked questions about the handling of the Epstein files, and he said that he made "mistakes" involving the release of the files showing victims' addresses and other personal information. Blanche purged many hundreds of career Justice Department lawyers. He supported the IRS corrupt immunity deal. Pam Bondi said that Blanche was involved in the release of the Epstein files. Blanche moved Ghislane Maxwell (who worked with Epstein and has been convicted of five counts related to sex trafficking and the sexual abuse of minors along with Jeffrey Esptein on December 29, 2021) to a minimum-security prison. Blanche met with Maxwell with her lawyer before. Blanche was asked by Senator Durbin to meet with the Epstein survivors. Blanche said that new indictments involving the Epstein can occur in the future based on the evidence. Blanche was asked about the scrapped $1.7876 billion "anti-weaponization" fund too. So, Todd Blanche has proven by his words in his confirmation hearing and by his actions that he lacked the political independence to be the new Attorney General of the United States of America.
Trump's DNI pick won't say that Joe Biden explicitly won the 2020 election. The year of 2020 was one of the most important years in human history. I compare that year to 1968. In 2020, political polarization was high, people protested against police brutality, and the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak killings millions of human beings worldwide. Trump had a lax response to the pandemic, and the pandemic caused a global recession that contributed to Biden winning the 2020 election. After that election, the Trump administration sued massively in trying to steal the election. Yet, they failed. Terrorists on January 6, 2021, invaded the U.S. Capitol building, harmed police officers, spread excrement on the Capitol grounds, waved Neo-nazi and Confederate flags (for the first time in American history in the U.S. Capitol), and had people who wanted to hang former Vice President Mike Pence. Biden won that election fair and square, and that has caused hatred among Trump to this very day. We want to stand up for truth and justice not misinformation.
Vice President J.D. Vance is oblivious to what is going on in America. We have high gas prices, food prices are still high, rent prices have increased, housing supply is low, and the government has allowed ICE to execute people in the streets. Vance talking to Joe Rogan doesn't magically cause those nefarious complications go away. Even Vance's secret service detail said that Vance is having too many vacations. Also, NBC and ABC will not air Trump's Primetime Address Live. The reason is that Trump has promoted so many lies about the 2020 election, that these media companies probably feel that it is unnecessary for the American people to be subjected to anti-democratic propaganda. We have unprecedent corruption among the Trump administration from the crypto situation, lucrative foreign investments, and major stock trades made by the administration's key officials. Trump has fired many federal inspectors' generals, he has allowed the DOJ to target Trump opponents, and the federal agencies have dropped hundreds of corporate fraud investigations and antitrust enforcement actions to benefit corporate donors and special interests. If any Democratic President did one percent of these actions, that President would face impeachment by Republicans. Therefore, we know the truth.
There are many races in Texas. Talarico wants to debate Ken Paxton. Paxton hasn't been in a debate stage in a debate in a long time. Ken Paxton has tons of scandals from money scandals, adultery allegations, and other issues. Paxton wants to hide behind Trump to justify his actions, but no person is above the truth. In Texas, the Texans deserve an elected official who trusts the people of Texas. It is only recently when Ken Paxton has welcomed a debate with James Talarico, but Paxton didn't commit to a specific host. Paxton has been impeached before, made a recent plea deal offered in a child sex abuse case, and accumulated millions of dollars while in office. In foreign affairs, many far right agents love Putin and follow him. Some of them take money from the Russian government to condemn Ukrainians using their God given right of self-defense to defend their lands after being invaded by Putin's forces.
Some sad, shocking news is that Paul Riddick recently passed away at the age of 78 years old. His daughter-in-law confirmed the news today on July 15, 2026. Paul Riddick was a political icon of Hampton Roads, Virginia in the 757. I'm from the 757, and I heard of Paul Riddick for years and decades. I even saw him before on numerous occasions. He was a former Norfolk, Virginia Councilman who was first elected to Norfolk City Council in 1992. He served for over 30 years in Ward 4 in Virginia. He was outspoken, bold, and stood up for the civil rights of black Americans. Riddick was a member of the Southeastern Tidewater Opportunity Project (STOP) and served as an alternate to the Hampton Roads Regional Jail Authority. He was the former President of the Norfolk Branch of the NAACP and was the lead plaintiff in the Riddick v. School Board of the City of Norfolk. Congressman Bobby Scott was his friend and gave his condolences to. Paul Riddick was certainly a giant in the history of Virginia.
I send my condolences to his family and friends.
