It was a snort-lived investigation. The US Secret Service has closed its probe into finding the owner of the cocaine found in the White House last week. The agency, which is charged with protecting the President, his family, and the White House, said it simply could not locate the suspect who brought the illegal drugs into the White House that was discovered on July 2. The Secret Service conducted DNA and fingerprint testing, combed through visitor logs, and viewed videos from security cameras, but were still unable to figure out the suspect. The agency released a statement on Thursday that the investigation was closed due to lack of physical evidence. We'll comment on this ridiculous report, plus many more important news stories from around the world. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart. Airdate 7/13/23

Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau Biden, received cash from China bank wires in March 2017, less than two months after President Joe Biden left office as vice president, according to a memo released Thursday by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. The money was sent from the company Robinson Walker LLC to several members of the Biden family and companies associated with them.The panel, led by Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, said Thursday that it obtained new records after subpoenaing Bank of America. It also released a letter (pdf) revealing that the bank had identified a "Robinson Walker, LLC" account that had transferred money from State Energy HK Limited.In the release, Comer said that his investigators found evidence that the cash was sent to accounts linked to other Biden family members, including Hunter Biden, James Biden and Hallie Biden, as well as to companies associated with them. However, he did not provide details about the services provided or why the Biden family received the money.The top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, has criticized Comer for releasing the memo, which he says is a political attack against Biden. He said the panel was prying into private lives of Biden family business associates by subpoenaing banking records.Comer defended his investigation, noting that it is based on evidence gathered through the committee's subpoenaing of bank documents and an audit conducted by the Treasury Department. He added that the committee is reviewing those reports to see what they reveal.As part of the inquiry, Comer has subpoenaed bank records tied to the Bidens and others, and he expects those reports to yield more information about how much money was transferred to and from various family members and companies associated with them. He vowed that he would not rest until the facts were revealed and that he would hold Biden to account for any wrongdoing.We'll dive into these stories and more in this edition of TruNews.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

BTC - A new house bill sponsored by Rep. Bishop (R-UT) would allow a DHS policy waiver of 36 federal laws to construct US border fences to become law.  The National Security and Federal Lands Protection bill would change border definitions, expanding the reach of federal border enforcement 100 miles inland from coast to coast.   From the bill: (c) CLARIFICATION RELATING TO WAIVER AUTHORITY.—(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other  provision of law (including any termination date re-lating to the waiver referred to in this subsection),the waiver by the Secretary of Homeland Securityon April 1, 2008, under section 102(c)(1) of the Ille-gal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsi-bility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1103 note; Public Law104–208) of the laws described in paragraph (2)with respect to certain sections of the internationalborder between the United States and Mexico andbetween the United States and Canada shall be con-sidered to apply to all sections of the internationalland and maritime borders of the United Stateswithin 100 miles of the international land and mari-time borders of the United States for the activitiesof the Secretary of Homeland Security described insubsection (b), including the construction of infra-structure, to achieve the operational control de-scribed in subsection (a).      We discuss events at the bill’s Introduction hearing and the US border with Scott Nicol with No Border Wall Fence Coalition.

The ACLU's Chris Calabrese, veteran legal counsel assigned to the anti-Real ID effort in Washington updates listeners on a newly filed legislation. The new bill filed in the House of Representatives, would repeal Real ID entirely and replace it with the negotiated rulemaking process. The rule making process, part of a 9-11 Commissions reform bill, was itself repealed by the Real ID Act of 2005. We observe the modern marvel of when the ACLU can finally agree with the Secretary of DHS on something - that Real ID is dead. More is also included on the PASS Act.

On The Difficulty Of Writing, Or, The War Hits Home by: fake consultant I do not want to write this story, and I have been stuck for about ten days because I do not want to face the reality of this particular situation. But here it is. Last Friday was the day The Girlfriend and I had to travel to Fort Lewis, Washington, to attend the military departure ceremony for one of our two godsons. He enlisted in the Army National Guard, and now it’s time to go to the Middle East. There was no mystery or great surprise that he would be going, and the news is not all bad. He is not in a Stryker Brigade; thank whichever deity you support, nor a military policeman. It is theoretically possible that the support role he will be filling will actually be moderately safe, which is about the best spin I can offer considering the circumstances. He and his brother are our two godsons, and we have literally been looking out for them since the days of their birth. To illustrate the point more clearly, I was his birth photographer. The Girlfriend and I attended Lamaze-twice-to allow us access to both deliveries, but circumstances caused us to miss his older brother’s birth by eight hours. We have been the “bad” godparents ever since-the ones who introduced them to Beavis and Butt-Head, and Ren and Stimpy, and Skittles and Jolt Cola and Archie McPhee. It isn’t as though I didn’t try to nip this in the bud. I suggested the Air Force (a subject I can speak about from personal experience), but I was clearly not as persuasive as I could have been. Which is how we found ourselves at Fort Lewis. The families assembled in a hangar on base, a small band offered up patriotic music, important officers offered up inspiring words, and an award was presented to the officer who managed the required paperwork that made the deployment possible. Finally, with a clanging of warning bells, the hangar doors were opened to reveal the soldiers we were there to honor, standing in formation. Nobody reacts to the officer who says: “This is the last time I will have the chance to address all of you...” Everyone wants to look brave, soldier and family alike; but there is no way to sit in a room with small child noises filling the space, and not know the future will likely be so, so tough for some of those little children. Goodbye Cindy Sheehan by: lightseeker In what she described as a ''resignation letter,'' Sheehan wrote in her online diary on the ''Daily Kos'' blog: ''Good-bye America ... you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can't make you be that country unless you want it. ''It's up to you now.'' [snip] ''I have endured a lot of smear and hatred since Casey was killed and especially since I became the so-called ''Face'' of the American anti-war movement,'' Sheehan wrote in the diary. How Courage is involved by: Stewart True Courage In all the *fuhrer* over the House Speaker's machinations this weekend, it may seem a trifle pollyanish to bring up my own organization's recent action to bestow awards on legislators. But there really is a relationship here. In case you missed it, the True Courage Action Network recently ran a poll and asked everyone who follows the Lege which senator, rep, and advocate demonstrated the greatest courage defending Texas from the kleptocrats who are fighting right now to hold on to power. The poll winners are: Best State Senator: Rodney Ellis Best State Representative: Mike Villarreal Best State Advocate: ACLU of Texas (represented by Will Harrell, Sonia Santana, and Kat Dean) In addition, TCAN's own members chose to honor: Sen. Mario Gallegos for: Defending Voting Rights in the Senate Rep. Rafael Anchía for: Defending Voting Rights in the House Sen. Royce West for: Promoting Ethics Reform Rep. Jim Dunnam for: Delivering a Passionate Floor Speech and Craig McDonald of Texans for Public Justice for: Delivering a Daring Testimony. All these individuals and organizations have the guts (well, we prefer the term "Courage") to stand on principle regarding ethics issues -- often against their own political best interests. Contrast that with the current jockeying for power in the House by people who get away with saying anything to get elected because our electorate is so ill-informed. When accepting our awards, these winners insisted that they weren't heroes, that other people contributed more, that they were just doing what they thought they had to do. They were also eager to point out that having a network of friends in the activist community had been essential for them to pass legislation that's good for Texas and Texans. Iscariot Caucus Still Full of S**t by: boadicea Capitol Annex has the rundown: Democrats for Reform, is, of course, the group of Craddick-allied Democrats who put out a "reform" agenda earlier this year. The reality of their agenda, however, is that it didn't amount to much and that this group actually circumvented some other good reforms. Restore full funding of CHIP- HB 109 does not fully restore CHIP to pre-2003 levels Reform Medicaid eligibility- vague, unclear - cannot point to anything definitive Restore the TEXAS Grants scholarship fund- 7,000 fewer students will receive TEXAS Grants than in 2003 Repeal tuition deregulation- HB 2382 by Coleman (definitely NOT an Iscariot) was the sole piece of legislation this session repealing tuition deregulation
