https://nypost.com/2026/08/06/us-news/trump-signs-new-executive-order-to-ban-birth-tourism-after-birthright-citizenship-defeat-at-supreme-court/

President Trump issued an order Thursday to crack down on “birth tourism” after he was defeated at the Supreme Court earlier this summer on the birthright citizenship issue.

Trump said the executive order would stop wealthy people from “buying their way” into citizenship with pregnant women traveling to the US to birth an American baby.

“People are building businesses around it. Wealthy people are building businesses around birthright citizenship. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work. It’s a disgrace. They’re buying their way in, and we’re not going to let it happen,” Trump noted.

“They’ve taken birthright citizenship and they’ve made a joke out of it,” he said during a signing ceremony in the Oval Office.

The order bars citizenship for children born to mothers who enter the United States for the sole purpose of having a child on American soil.

https://apnews.com/article/fauci-congress-justice-department-c068561f3d2adddd0a659e099c212c49
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate committee voted along party lines Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress over his refusal to answer questions at a hearing on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, setting up a referral to the Department of Justice for potential investigation over whether the country’s longtime top infectious disease official properly exercised his constitutional rights.

The vote approving the contempt resolution came a week after Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 100 times when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, an episode that raised fresh legal questions about the ability of Congress to compel testimony from a previously pardoned witness.

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, the committee chairman who pressed for the contempt finding, said that constitutional protection did not apply because Fauci last year received a pardon from Democratic President Joe Biden and thus did not have to worry about the threat of prosecution. He has said he intends to send the referral directly to the Justice Department, rather than first to the full Senate, despite Democratic questions over the legal validity of such a maneuver.

“Dr. Fauci faced no risk of federal prosecution,” Paul said at the outset of Thursday’s hearing. “All he had to do was tell the truth.”

“Let’s just get one thing straight,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) warned Fauci when his turn came to grill the 85-year-old doctor. “You don’t have any rights under the Fifth Amendment because you’ve been pardoned, as you very well know, as the Supreme Court has been clear for a century and more. Brown vs. Walker, 1896, ‘When he has been pardoned, he may not stand upon his privilege.'”

MAGAts are called Deplorables for good reason.

https://www.the-independent.com/tv/news/trump-las-vegas-austin-abdelnabi-rally-boo-video-b3028704.html

Crowd members at a Donald Trump rally booed a Las Vegas police officer who was killed in the line of duty.

Austin Abdelnabi, also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, was shot and killed while responding to a call about an armed suspect on Tuesday (4 August).

Before the US president took the stage in Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday (5 August), Gov. Joe Lombardo began asking the audience to hold a moment of silence for Abdelnabi, whose last name he stumbled over.

Several audience members can then be heard jeering upon hearing Abdelnabi’s name, with Gov. Lombardo quickly reprimanding them.

“No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently,” he said.

President Trump’s attorney filed an emergency motion Wednesday seeking to block the BBC from obtaining financial records linked to his trust.

The British broadcaster received approval from a judge late last month to probe the president’s financial documents after Trump claimed he experienced losses due to an episode of the company’s “Panorama” series titled “Trump: A Second Chance?”

In the footage, the BBC strung together three separate portions of a speech from Trump to make it look as if he encouraged a violent attack on the Capitol.

“The BBC’s improperly broad subpoena demands the Trust’s confidential tax, ownership, and financial records for approximately 400 entities,” Trump’s attorney Alejandro Brito wrote in the legal filing.

“Once the Trust were to begin handing those records over to the BBC, that disclosure could not be undone, and the Trust’s pending objections could not restore what the BBC will already have seen,” Brito added.

If the emergency motion is not approved, the BBC would be granted insight on Trump’s crypto and stock profit, as well as business transactions from at least 400 entities and companies tied to his personal assets managed by family.

Makers of hemp THC products were thrown a lifeline when senators in a stopgap spending bill included a delay of a federal ban on their products.

The Senate’s government funding bill set to be considered this week would delay the upcoming prohibition on most hemp-derived THC products until Dec. 11.

Hemp industry groups and their allies touted the provision as a significant win that would give them more time to convince lawmakers to regulate their products, rather than ban them by closing the so-called “hemp loophole.”

The U.S. Hemp Roundtable said passing the continuing resolution would be “a landmark victory for the hemp industry” and the biggest win since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp.

The Hemp Beverage Alliance, the trade association for the hemp beverage industry, praised lawmakers for “standing up for responsible hemp beverage suppliers and their supply chain partners.”

“We urge the Senate to quickly pass this legislation and send it to the House for their swift approval as soon as they return,” Hemp Beverage Alliance founder and president Christopher Lackner said in a statement.

However, passage is not assured.

The trust holding President Donald Trump’s assets asked a federal judge Wednesday to pause an order forcing the trust to turn over Trump’s financial information to the BBC, making a last-ditch effort to keep the president’s personal finances under wraps as the BBC questions whether a 2024 documentary actually caused him $10 billion in damages.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2026/08/05/trump-tries-to-keep-financial-information-hidden-from-bbc-in-emergency-filing/

Lawyers for Trump’s trust filed an emergency motion Wednesday asking Judge Enjolique A. Lett to pause an order she issued last week, which directed the trust to turn over financial documents to the BBC by Thursday.

Trump is asking the BBC to pay him $10 billion as part of a defamation lawsuit over a 2024 documentary that misquoted Trump’s speech to supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, and the BBC has demanded Trump provide financial information to prove the documentary actually damaged his business and brand enough to justify the 11-figure reward.

Attorneys for Trump’s trust—which holds the president’s assets to distance him from his businesses while in office—argued that once the documents are turned over, no order “can un-disclose them or undo the expense of compiling them,” if a court ultimately finds they were unnecessary to turn over.

Trump is also attempting to get out of turning the documents over by amending his initial lawsuit to argue the BBC documentary only damaged his personal reputation, rather than his businesses, which the trust argued would negate the need for turning over financial documents in the first place.

The BBC’s subpoena for financial documents asks for numerous details about Trump’s personal finances and the value of some 400 businesses he has connections to, including tax returns, though the judge limited the initial subpoena and said the trust only has to hand over documents from 2023 onward.

LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA)— A Winter Haven pastor was arrested after Polk County deputies said he had sex with a 14-year-old boy without disclosing that he was HIV positive.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said an investigation began after it received a NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Endangered Children) cyber tip regarding inappropriate contact 42-year-old Timothy Chaneyfield was having with a child.

“We don’t want this evil man ever to be outside of prison again, because if he is I can assure you that pedophiles don’t change their personality or their wants or their needs,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

Detectives said that a 14-year-old boy told them he met Chaneyfield on a dating mobile app and then continued to chat via Instagram, which is where the tip was generated.

According to investigators, Chaneyfield picked up the teen on three consecutive days at the entrance to his subdivision and drove him to his house in Winter Haven, where they had sex each day.

Chaneyfield allegedly told the boy on the phone that he wanted to continue having sex with him, but he was going to fly to Baltimore for work.

Detectives said they learned that Chaneyfield was a chaplain for Compassionate Care Hospice and was going to preside over a funeral in Baltimore.

Miller's attorney blames a missed page for the leak as Sen. Bernie Moreno calls it grotesque and Miller now asks for his own House ethics probe before an Aug. 10 ballot deadline.

https://tiffinohio.net/posts/miller-nude-image-2-year-old-daughter-evidence-dump/

Moments before he posted a link to hundreds of messages, recordings and images from his divorce, U.S. Rep. Max Miller told a livestream audience why he was doing it.

“This isn’t about defending myself,” the Ohio Republican said. “I’m speaking up as a father, trying to protect our daughter.”

The folder he shared Sunday with his nearly 60,000 followers on X contained an image of that daughter, who is 2 years old, nude, CNN reported Tuesday. The image was publicly available for at least a day before it was taken down.

Miller’s personal attorney, Aaron Minc, has taken responsibility for it. “Unfortunately, I missed the last three pages of a 40+ page document with sensitive content,” Minc said in a statement to CNN. “It was completely unintentional and a mistake. The moment I discovered the issue on Monday morning, I corrected the file immediately.”

Minc said he made multiple passes through the material to strip out sensitive details, including the child’s name. CNN reported that an earlier version of the public file it reviewed included the child’s name dozens of times, along with payment records to medical providers and several images of her.

“I am truly sorry to Congressman Miller, Ms. Moreno, both of their families, and, especially, to their daughter,” Minc said. “I deeply regret the mistake.”

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-investigation-new-mexico-sues-doj-todd-blanche-blockin-rcna591015

CEDAR CREST, N.M. — New Mexico’s attorney general sued the U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday, accusing it of blocking the state from investigating sex crimes at Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling ranch near Santa Fe.

The lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., said the department and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stonewalled New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez’s criminal investigation into Epstein and others, taking steps that “actively harms victims and undermines the public interest.”

The lawsuit seeking judicial intervention to force the federal government to turn over materials to New Mexico’s investigators was filed the same day that the state released a report saying “those directly responsible for protecting New Mexicans relied on others to do their job,” including federal prosecutors in New York.

“The federal prosecutors, though, never prioritized New Mexicans, focusing instead on Epstein’s misdeeds in New York, Palm Beach, Florida, and the Virgin Islands, while leaving Epstein’s offenses in New Mexico unexamined,” the report said.

Meanwhile, according to the Washington lawsuit, Torrez and his senior prosecutors “have faced sustained resistance” to the kind of information-sharing that had occurred in the past between state and federal investigators.

Brutal karma for Dem congress candidate blasting music on packed tropical beach
https://nypost.com/2026/08/04/us-news/hawaiian-democrat-kirill-basin-arrested-for-threatening-man-with-knife/

A long-shot Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate received a dose of brutal karma last week after he harassed beachgoers at the beach.

Kirill Basin, 40, was caught on camera in his underwear, shouting and threatening people relaxing at Keawakapu Beach in South Kihei after a 61-year-old man told him to turn his music down.

At one point, he’s seen walking to a group of people to argue before retreating and saying: “I told him if he wants to go to the hospital, come here.”

But his loud confidence would be silenced soon enough.

He got into an altercation with a large tattooed man, and tried to swing a beach chair at him. But before he could finish his swing, the man threw a powerful right-hand punch and made contact with Basin’s face.

The shot knocked the Hawaii Democrat out cold. The larger fighter rubbed Basin’s sternum until he awoke and made a declaration.
