**On Staten Island, thousands of British troops continue amassing in the largest amphibious military operation in British history.

**In Manhattan, Washington warns his troops against forfeiting Heaven's favor.

**In Charleston, the Declaration is read.

Fauci is still getting his government pension, even after raking in $1 million in illegal cash prizes.

He’s a scam artist and needs to be put behind bars

Today was another step forward

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

It’s official: letters to prosecute Fauci have been hand delivered to @DOJ.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

REPORTER: Do you think the DOJ should prosecute Fauci?

@POTUS: "They prosecuted Peter Navarro, and they prosecuted Steve Bannon, two very decent people, over something that essentially was never prosecuted before... they went to jail for a number of months... when you see that happen, you sort of say maybe he should. What he did is far more serious..."

[Senator Ron Johnson @SenRonJohnson]

What Dr. Fauci displayed last Wednesday was contempt for Congress, contempt for this committee, and contempt for our investigation.

I voted to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress, and our investigation has only just begun.

[Josh Hawley @HawleyMO]

Last week, Fauci pled the Fifth & refused to answer basic questions, including what color his tie was.

It was a predetermined, premeditated design to evade this committee's questions on any subject, including emphatically, those for which he has a pardon

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

PASSED BY REPUBLICANS ON BEHALF OF THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS AND THEIR FAMILIES STILL AFFECTED YEARS AFTER THE COVID PANDEMIC, THE RESOLUTION TO HOLD ANTHONY FAUCI IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS HAS PASSED OUT OF THE SENATE HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE BY A VOTE OF 8-5.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

BREAKING: Senate Homeland Security Committee votes to hold Dr Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after hearing where former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director pleaded Fifth more than 100 times

[Michael Johns 🇺🇸 @michaeljohns]

@VAvoterX @HawleyMO On TJ, consult his final sentence of the Declaration and his First and Second Inaugural addresses. In each of these and more, he specifically referenced the role of divine providence.

On TP, read The American Crisis and The Age of Reason. In these and more, he too referenced it.

[Michael Johns 🇺🇸 @michaeljohns]

Our founders strongly believed that the American Revolution's improbable victories were attributable to divine providence without which the nation would not exist.

Excellent @HawleyMO remarks on 1 Samuel 21--and why providential favor is now essential to preserving it:

[Josh Hawley @HawleyMO]

As the USA turns 250, I believe we are in a time when the Lord is pouring out his Spirit to see revival in every sphere of our society: a time when believers will again take the lordship of Christ into every sector, from industry to government, to see powerful renewal for America

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Fauci has a sweeping pardon protecting him from prosecution, yet he still refuses to answer Congress’s subpoena. That is not caution, it is contempt for the American people’s right to the truth. This week, HSGAC will vote to hold him in contempt.

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

U.S. forces continue to strictly enforce the U.S. blockade against Iran. As of Aug. 3, CENTCOM has redirected 44 commercial vessels, disabled 2, and boarded 2.

.@SecKennedy NUKES @DanaBashCNN:

"I'm not debating this with you."

"Of course you won't. All you know how to do is repeat things that people told you and say, 'Trust the experts!' That's what you did during Covid. Now we know that Anthony Fauci, who was the 'expert,' was lying about everything... now, you're rolling out the 'experts' again to talk about something that you have no personal knowledge of."

[Michael Johns 🇺🇸 @michaeljohns]

You might be wondering:

Do presidential pardons protect against state indictments?

Answer: No, they do not.

Article II, Section 2

[Fox News @FoxNews]

“The history books, they need to portray Dr. Fauci as a villain.”
@JamesUthmeierFL announces a state investigation into Dr. Fauci, saying subpoenas will be issued next week to examine whether Fauci lied to the public or personally profited during the pandemic.

Uthmeier tells the @WillCainShowthat the pardon Fauci holds does not shield him from potential state-level prosecution in Florida.

"Where there's lies and deception and injury, there needs to be accountability."

@GriffJenkins

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

Over the past few hours, Iranian state media have continued to report false claims by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) – three in particular.

🚫 FIRST CLAIM: The IRGC (again) claims free and open routes through the Strait of Hormuz are dangerous for commercial vessels.
✅ FACT: The immediate dangers posed to commercial vessels and their civilian crews are the IRGC’s verbal threats and attempted attacks.

🚫 SECOND CLAIM: The IRGC claims Three U.S. F-35 stealth fighters and three other aircraft were destroyed during a recent Iranian attack on an American air base.
✅ FACT: No U.S. aircraft were destroyed or damaged in recent attempted Iranian attacks. All missiles and drones were intercepted or failed to reach targeted areas.

🚫 THIRD CLAIM: Iranian state media is reporting that a commercial oil tanker, M/T Nora, has broken through the U.S. blockade.
✅ FACT: The commercial vessel has not broken through America’s steel wall blockade. More than 20 U.S. warships, hundreds of aircraft, and thousands of service members remain vigilant and continue to fully enforce the blockade.

[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

The Harder They Fall….

The saga of Anthony Fauci is a now all too familiar example of narcissistic and bureaucratic insiders who start with a classic rise only to fall into utter destruction.

Think also John Bolton, James Comey, Jack Smith, and now Anthony Fauci.

Fueled by media flattery, and their over the top rhetoric, they posture as consummate “professionals.”

These egomaniacs convince themselves they are our untouchable defenders of the established Washingtonian order, as supposedly sober and judicious custodians of the government. And when warned where they are ultimately headed, and to tread lightly, they instead interpret such sound advice as the jealousy of the envious.

In the current decade that arrogance is best manifested as crusading against public enemy number one, Donald J. Trump.

So insidiously they up their Trump derangement rhetoric. They cite their titles and degrees as they vaingloriously skirt the law.

Finally drunk on leftwing media adulation, they delude themselves into believing that their megalomaniac behavior is exempt from any consequences.

And then what?

At the apex of their hubris, Nemesis strikes.

And they fall hard by their own overweening arrogance.

John Bolton could not just be content and thankful that he finally got a cabinet-level appointment without the need for Senate confirmation, and thus show some deference to his savior Donald Trump.

Instead, almost immediately like some rookie intern he began sending classified information over unsecure email—writing an on-the-job, tell-all book, timed to appear during the 2020 election and to sandbag his own president.

After all, who would dare to question much less cross the expert John Bolton as he rushed heading into felony convictions and self-implosion?

In 2016 FBI James Comey acted as if he was the godhead of American law enforcement.

As investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury he alone would adjudicate whether the classified document destroyer Hillary Clinton committed a felony.

Comey alone would launch a Steele-dossier witch hunt against Donald Trump, and crown himself the veritable arbiter of presidential elections.

And now?

His rendezvous with Nemesis rendered him a disgraced leaker and fired FBI director, claiming amnesia or ignorance 245 times under oath before a House committee.

Comey was finally reduced to the role of a social media pop philosopher. His final curtain call?

Comey was posting seashell “8647” infantile threats—and then denying as a former FBI Director that “86” had anything to with violent acts of expulsion.

Jack Smith was an obscure liberal fixture in DOJ circles for years—until he was coronated as special counsel—coincidentally three days after Trump, on November 15, 2022, announced he was running for president in 2024.

How strange that the same day, Letitia James was for some reason in the White House.

Nathan Wade, Fannie Willis’s paramour, was too, meeting with Biden’s White House counsel.

And on that day too Merrick Garland’s number three prosecutor Michael Colangelo (freshly hired from James’s prosecution team) announced he was leaving his billet, soon on spec to join Alvin Bragg’s lawfare.

The left began thinking Smith was godlike, a veritable new and improved Robert Mueller, similarly tasked with delivering the federal knock-out blow to Donald Trump.

Within months of his appointment, Smith became a holy crusader to the leftwing media.

That adulation and his hubris drove Smith to rush his absurd 44 indictments to get Trump as recklessly and quickly as possible—worried that Trump first might be elected and thus by Supreme Court case law immune as a sitting president from prosecution.

So the more the media deified him, the more maddened Smith became.

Smith finally was reduced to tapping the phone records of U.S. Senators and grabbing National Archive records of Trump’s text messaging, where he was surveying the private correspondence of more U.S. senators.

And now?

Nemesis reduced him from the heights of would-be Trump slayer to a failed, and unscrupulous prosecutor, omitting to report free and untaxed legal services from his own firm, abandoned by his media toadies, and soon to be facing criminal referrals.

You can add John Brennan, James Clapper, Mark Milley, and Robert Mueller to the same cast.

They too became intoxicated with government power, and believed they were divinely appointed to end Trump. And so they played out a Greek tragedy, consumed by hubris (overweening arrogance) that drove them to atê (mindless recklessness), only to end in Nemesis (cosmic retribution and destruction).

These egos never learned that the amoral leftwing media is a fickle flatterer (remember they even once deified the Stormy Daniels con artist and soon to be felon Michale Avenatti as presidential timber.)

These unelected legends in their own minds confuse their enormous government granted powers at their disposal as bureaucrats with some sort of regal right that will exempt them from any consequences of their lawless arrogance.

And so soon they lie under oath to Congress, or call up Chinese generals to warn them about their own president, or sign patently false affidavits attesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was the work of the Ruskies, or tap senatorial phones—or almost anything that would ensure their inevitable fall from grace and utter humiliation.

So too with the once celestial and now laughingstock Anthony Fauci (who once compared himself to Albert Einstein).

The common denominator?

The greater their arrogance, the harder they certainly fall.

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

Fauci’s 'performance' today made me sick. Smug arrogance. Zero remorse. Zero accountability. He refused to answer a single question.
Sharing this again as a reminder: He used your tax dollars to fund the coronavirus lab research in Wuhan—and worked with the IC to cover it up. We deserve the truth and accountability.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Fauci pleaded the 5th Amendment 111 times.

Here's more on what's next, and what I took from this:
