Two women convicted in a ballot fraud scheme in Arizona are scheduled to be sentenced September 1.

Prosecutors say Guillermina Fuentes, a school board member and former mayor in the border city of San Luis, Arizona, used her influential position in local Democrat politics to run a “sophisticated” election ballot crime ring in 2020. She has pleaded guilty in the case, along with an accompilce: Alma Juarez.

Fuentes convinced voters to let her illegally gather and, in some cases fill out their ballots in the 2020 primary, according to prosecutors. Under state law, it’s illegal for anybody except a family member or caregiver to deliver early ballots on behalf of another voter.

Prosecutors gathered evidence that Fuentes was part of a well organized illegal ballot ring, allegedly paying people to give her their ballots in 2016, in addition to the 2020 fraud. Prosecutors allowed Fuentes and Juarez to each plead guilty to far lesser crimes: a single charge of ballot abuse in the 2020 matter.

An ex-employee of Fuentes reportedly told investigators Fuentes paid approximately 50 people for their ballots in the 2016 election. In 2020, video shows Fuentes allegedly giving multiple ballots to Juarez.

WALTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Walton County couple has been arrested and are facing child sex crime charges for acts deputies say they committed against their adopted children.

Last month, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office raided a home in unincorporated Loganville where they believed a man was downloading child pornography. When interviewing him, the suspect admitted to collecting child porn and identified a second suspect in Oxford.

The suspect told deputies that the other suspect was making the child porn with at least one child who lived in his home. The first suspect’s identity has not been released.

Deputies were able to get arrest warrants for both adult men living in the home, William Dale Zulock, 32, and Zachary Jacoby Zulock, 35.

Walton County’s Division of Family and Child Services joined deputies in responding to the home to help protect the two children in the home.

After making sure the children were safe, investigators found evidence that the couple, who were the adoptive fathers of the pair of brothers living there, were recording themselves committing sexually abusive acts against the children.

Bridgeport councilman Michael DeFilippo gets election fraud trial delay
BRIDGEPORT — The federal trial of former city councilman Michael DeFilippo, indicted by a grand jury on multiple election fraud charges, has been continued to next year.

U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden rescheduled jury selection from Sept. 6 to Jan. 30, 2023.

“The court has determined that additional time is necessary to ensure and prepare an adequate defense for Mr. DeFilippo, including ensuring that he is not unnecessarily denied the continuity of counsel,” the judge stated Friday.

DeFilippo’s lawyer, Francis O’Reilly, declined comment.

DeFilippo, 35, a Democrat who represented Bridgeport’s 133rd District, resigned his seat in July 2021 following his indictment. He had been a city councilman since 2018.

He is accused of conspiring to “interfere with and obstruct Bridgeport citizens’ right to vote by falsifying his tenants’ voter registration applications and absentee ballots applications, then stealing tenants’ absentee ballots and forging their signatures in order to fraudulently vote for him,” according to then-Acting U.S. Attorney Leonard C. Boyle.

Democrat staffer posing as an FBI agent to control MAGA crowd in D.C. escaped from cops on bikes in a fake police car - but was tracked down by an agent via his T-shirt
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11081835/Democrat-staffer-posed-FBI-agent-leading-cops-chase-Washington-D-C.html

A congressional staffer who posed as an FBI agent using clothes and gear he bought online was fired after leading bike cops on a chase through Washington, D.C. before being caught weeks later in Georgia.

Sterling Devion Carter, 25, who worked as a staffer for Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), lost his job after impersonating law enforcement and openly carrying a firearm illegally, according to his lawyer Robert Lee Jenkins, Jr.

On Nov. 14, 2020, two police officers, who were attempting to control post-election MAGA protesters, spotted a suspicious police car with a man standing close by with a shirt that read 'Federal Agent.'

While the police car looked legitimate to the untrained eye, complete with emergency lights, a laptop mount and a divider to contain detainees, the officers noticed the font on the license plate was wrong, according to the Daily Beast.

Carter, who stood next to his faux police vehicle, 'had a full police duty belt on to include handcuffs, a pistol, two magazines and a radio with earpiece attachment,' according to court documents.

As the officers inspected the impersonator from a distance, they noticed he made a rookie mistake: Carter placed his extra gun magazines near his gun holster, which would make it hard for law enforcement to reload with their free hand during a gunfight.

…revealing their comically low IQs

https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/05/europe/scientist-space-image-chorizo-intl-scli-scn/index.html

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/insulin-price-cap-35-senate-vote-republicans-block-inflation-reduction-act/

Washington — Senate Republicans on Sunday blocked a $35 monthly cap on the cost of insulin in the private market from being included in Democrats' economic tax and spending package, voting down an amendment to the measure during a marathon session leading up to what Democrats hope will be final passage of the bill.

The Senate on Saturday night began consideration of more than 30 amendments to the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats' $700 billion legislation that aims to combat climate change, raise taxes on large corporations and address rising health care costs.

Amid the proposed changes to the plan was to set the $35 per month cap on insulin, the pricy medication needed to treat diabetes. Seven Republican senators voted with all 50 Democrats to keep the price ceiling in the legislation: Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cindy Hyde Smith of Mississippi, John Kennedy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Dan Sullivan of Alaska.

Still, with a vote of 57 to 43, the provision failed to garner the 60 votes needed to waive special budgetary rules and include it in the bill. The House passed a similar cap on the price of insulin in April.

Democrats are hoping to clear their overall legislative package on Sunday, setting the House up to briefly return to Washington this week to approve it. Its passage would notch President Biden and congressional Democrats a key win before the midterm elections, when they are working to maintain control of Congress.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/research-shows-coronavirus-pandemic-originated-in-wuhan-wet-market-and-not-from-a-chinese-lab-11658930569

Research published Tuesday by the journal Science offers more evidence that the coronavirus pandemic that has caused the deaths of more than 6 million people globally originated in a wet market in Wuhan, China, and not from a Chinese lab.

Two new studies concluded that the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, called SARS-CoV-2, passed to humans from animals.

The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was identified as a likely source of cases in early reports, but later this conclusion became controversial, the authors wrote.

“We show the earliest known COVID-19 cases from December 2019, including those without reported direct links, were geographically centered on this market,” said the report. “We report that live SARS-CoV-2 susceptible mammals were sold at the market in late 2019 and, within the market, SARS-CoV-2-positive environmental samples were spatially associated with vendors selling live mammals. “

While the exact circumstances “remain obscure, ” analyses show that the virus spread from the live-wildlife trade in China and that the market was indeed the epicenter of the pandemic, they wrote.

The news comes at a time when U.S. COVID cases are hovering close to 130,000 a day, the highest level seen since February, as the BA.5 omicron subvariant continues to spread. BA.5 is understood to be the most transmissible variant so far and to have an ability to break through vaccination and cause reinfection.

The daily average for new U.S. cases stood at 128,496 on Tuesday, according to a New York Times tracker, down 2% from two weeks ago. The true case count is likely higher, given the number of people who are testing at home and from whom data are not being collected.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/02/politics/defense-department-missing-january-6-texts/index.html

(CNN)The Defense Department wiped the phones of top departing DOD and Army officials at the end of the Trump administration, deleting any texts from key witnesses to events surrounding the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, according to court filings.
The acknowledgment that the phones from the Pentagon officials had been wiped was first revealed in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit American Oversight brought against the Defense Department and the Army. The watchdog group is seeking January 6 records from former acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, former chief of staff Kash Patel, and former Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, among other prominent Pentagon officials -- having filed initial FOIA requests just a few days after the Capitol attack.
Miller, Patel and McCarthy have all been viewed as crucial witnesses for understanding government's response to the January 6 Capitol assault and former President Donald Trump's reaction to the breach. All three were involved in the Defense Department's response to sending National Guard troops to the US Capitol as the riot was unfolding. There is no suggestion that the officials themselves erased the records.

The government's assertion in the filings that the officials' text messages from that day were not preserved is the latest blow to the efforts to bring transparency to the events of January 6. It comes as the Department of Homeland Security is also under fire for the apparent loss of messages from the Secret Service that day.

Miller declined to comment. Patel and McCarthy did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The US Army Public Affairs media relations chief, Col. Cathy Wilkinson, said in a statement that, "It is our policy not to comment on ongoing litigation."

CHINA vows to react militarily to the provocation, opening the most serious crisis in years between the world’s two largest economies amid global tension sparked by the Ukrainian War, in which Beijing supports Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

He infuriated China, which has considered the island a rebellious province since an autonomous Pro US-puppet regime was formed there by those defeated in the revolution that led the communists to establish their dictatorship in 1949.

China sees any political gestures in favor of Taipei as supporting the island’s sedition ideal. In 1997, the last time someone in Pelosi’s position was in Taiwan, in this case Republican Newt Gingrich, the Chinese had to swallow it.

Democrats continue to piss off everyone internationally. China ceases cooperation with the United States on drugs, climate change, defense, crime and illegals, because Democrats want fucking global instability and are warmongers
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna41682
TAIPEI, Taiwan — China said Friday it would halt cooperation with the United States on areas including military relations and climate change while imposing sanctions against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as Beijing stepped up its retaliation to her Taiwan visit.

The new measures were announced as military drills Beijing launched furiously in the wake of her trip earlier this week sent warplanes, naval ships and missiles menacingly close to this small island democracy despite growing criticism

Beijing said Friday it will cancel phone calls between regional military commanders, defense meetings, talks on maritime safety and on climate change. It also said it would end cooperation with the U.S. on anti-drug efforts, returning illegal immigrants and transnational crime. Earlier, China took personal action against Pelosi, announcing sanctions on the speaker and her immediate family in response to what the Chinese Foreign Ministry called her “egregious provocations.”

The unspecified sanctions, China's latest retaliation for the brief trip to the self-ruling island it claims as its own territory, came as Washington and its allies urged de-escalation.

The U.S. summoned the Chinese ambassador Thursday to lodge a formal protest over Beijing's actions against Taiwan and reiterate that Washington does not want to stoke a crisis in the region, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed. The Washington Post first reported news of the rebuke.

Pelosi, in Japan for the last stop of her Asia tour, said China would not be allowed to succeed in it's efforts and that the United States vows to "fight for democracy in Taiwan down to the very last Taiwanese."
