US Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) is being criminally investigated for possible mortgage fraud. The Federal Housing Finance Agency made a criminal referral to the DOJ, accusing Schiff of altering bank documents and property records in several cases to secure more favorable loan terms. Schiff allegedly has claimed both his Burbank and Maryland homes as his primary residences in order to get more favorable mortgage rates. FHFA Director William Pulte said, "Based on media reports, Mr. Adam B. Schiff has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, impacting payments from 2003-2019 for a Potomac, MD-based property. As regulator of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, we take very seriously allegations of mortgage fraud or other criminal activity. Such misconduct jeopardizes the safety and soundness of FHFA's regulated entities and the security and stability of the US mortgage market," Pulte added. Read more

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) launched a joint investigation with military intelligence after Mexico's National Intelligence Center warned in early summer that Mexican volunteers had joined Ukraine's foreign fighter units specifically to acquire first-person view (FPV) drone capabilities. The probe has since expanded to include Colombian nationals, raising concerns about Ukraine's inadvertent role as a training ground for transnational criminal organizations. Mexican drug cartels have been using FPVs to drop hand grenades on their enemies, including killing some luckless Mexican soldiers. Read more

President Donald Trump detoured from touting his tariff-based economic policies to make a plainly racist claim about migrant laborers during his Tuesday morning appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box."
Echoing the bigotry of centuries past, the president claimed that migrants are uniquely suited to physically strenuous farm work, asserting that it comes "naturally" to them.
"We're taking care of our farmers. We can't let our farmers not have anybody. ... These people, you can't replace them very easily," Trump said on CNBC. "These people do it naturally " naturally," he said of the migrant laborers. Trump then recalled asking a farmer what happens to such workers if "they get a bad back." "He said, They don't get a bad back, sir, because if they get a bad back, they die.'"

The Republican president of Utah's Senate managed to change consent laws after a relative was accused of raping a 13-year-old. Newsweek reported a Salt Lake City Tribune piece that Senate President J. Stuart Adams suggested that the Utah Legislature change the law that would change the child rape laws. "Previously, as adults, 18-year-old high school students who had sex with a 13-year-old could face a charge of child rape, a first-degree felony," said the Tribune. "A conviction on that charge generally requires registration as a sex offender, while a conviction on the newly created lesser charge does not."

Aug 4, 2025 It's important to understand that the Bible does give us numerous descriptions of the character traits of the Antichrist, and it does this so that we do not follow him down the road to perdition.

Democrat Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey refused to endorse New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani when questioned by a CNN reporter on Sunday.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., sidestepped a question Sunday about whether he supports New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist who recently defeated Andrew Cuomo in the primary. During an interview on CNN, host Manu Raju pressed Booker on whether the Democratic Party is failing to embrace its left flank. He specifically brought up Mamdani, asking, "Democratic leaders are not supporting him. Is that a problem? Do you support him?" Booker dodged the endorsement, shifting the conversation away from ideological labels. "This is not a left-right issue," he said. "It is an authoritarian versus pragmatic government issue. I'm one of those people who believes the ties that bind us are stronger than the lines that divide us."
