“Freshman Rep. Pat Fallon, a Republican from Texas, failed to properly disclose dozens of stock trades together worth at least $7.8 million – and as much as $17.53 million, according to an Insider analysis of newly filed congressional records. Fallon was tardy disclosing 93 stock trades he made between mid-January and mid-April. Some disclosures arrived about a month late. Others were up to four months late. By federal law, members of Congress have 30 days from when they become aware of a stock trade to formally disclose it in a certified report to the clerk of the House of Representatives. His untimely reporting could prompt an ethics investigation or fine.”

“In a statement to Insider, a Fallon spokesman, Luke Ball, acknowledged that the congressman didn’t publicly disclose his stock trades on time. ‘As a freshman member, Congressman Fallon was unfamiliar with how frequently members of Congress are required to file financial disclosures, having served in other public offices where the requirements are different,’ Ball wrote. ‘Upon learning of the requirement, he immediately filed a disclosure with the appropriate entities. That disclosure is available for the public to review. Congressman Fallon looks forward to remaining in compliance with future filings.’ Ball confirmed that Fallon and his staff had taken required congressional ethics trainings, during which congressional financial-disclosure rules are routinely covered. Fallon bought and sold the shares of 14 companies in the first four months of 2021, according to a disclosure he filed with the clerk of the House of Representatives on June 17. Of particular note is Boeing, the aviation and defense contracting giant. Fallon is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, which conducts oversight of the government’s relationship with defense contractors” – Business Insider.

They spied on President Trump’s campaign, so it’s not surprising they’re spying on Tucker Carlson too.

The Left wants a state where all opposition is monitored & ideally eradicated.

— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) June 29, 2021

There is not, of course, any similar tweet from Boebert that we can find regarding the widely reported secret subpoenas made by the Trump Justice Department seeking emails and text messages from CNN, New York Times, and Washington Post journalists (and Dem members of Congress, their staffs, and even their family members), but once Tucker Carlson says he’s been targeted by the NSA, then it’s “all opposition is monitored and ideally eradicated” to her, of course.

Politico: “In the days after the deadly Capitol attack on Jan. 6, tension among House Republicans was so high that one of them privately suggested some GOP colleagues be punished for their roles in encouraging the riot. This GOP lawmaker drafted a list of about half a dozen fellow Republicans who had cheered on the pro-Donald Trump rally that turned violent that day, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the maneuver. The sources said Reps. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) were on the list but declined to identify its author – a sign that the scars from the insurrection remain deeply painful for members of both parties.”

“But the fact that the list even made the rounds, in hindsight, shows how sharply the political winds have turned for Republicans reckoning with Trump’s legacy and future. Only 10 House Republicans voted to impeach the former president for his role in the Jan. 6 riot, and most have said little since on the matter. There is close to zero appetite within their party now to break with Trump. And Trump is once again the GOP’s undisputed kingmaker, holding rallies and flexing his grassroots fundraising might as he seeks to influence Republican primary campaigns. House Democrats are likely to take full advantage of that political reality as they move ahead with a select committee to examine the siege on Congress. Which leaves Republicans with a big challenge: how to discredit and distance themselves from that investigation – which moderates and conservatives alike are criticizing as a partisan setup – and retake the House in 2022, a tantalizingly close possibility that would doom President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda.”

Model and actress Cara Delevingne gave Architectural Digest a tour of her Los Angeles home, including a peak at her vagina tunnel.  Yes, this story a couple days old, and no, NatZero doesn’t typically post such soft stories, but I think it’s time we delve into Cara Delevingne’s vagina tunnel.

Delevingne slipped easily into the pink-lipped hidden entry, which didn’t seem like too tight a fit.  The entry even has its own little representation of a clitoris at the top of the opening; there isn’t a need to rub the orb to gain entrance.  And because she did not allow the camera crew to join her in her vagina tunnel, we cannot verify if the carpet matches the drapes.

Nathan Allen wasn’t a person who would typically fit the profile of a murdering white supremacists.  He had an undergrad degree from an Ivy League college.  He had just received a Ph.D. in physical therapy.  He had no criminal record and he had passed the application to have a carry permit.

But on Sunday, the 28-year-old stole a truck in Winthrop, Massachusetts and shot two Black people, a retired police officer and a non-commissioned officer in the Air Force.  He then crashed the pickup into a house and started firing on police officers who were in pursuit.  Police returned fire and killed him, according to WBZ CBS-4 Boston.

Investigators searching his home found a notebook filled with racist and anti-Semitic notes, mostly written in the last week.  Prosecutors are investigating the incident as a hate crime.

EDITOR’S NOTE:  Courts, based on arguments from Fox News lawyers, have determined that Tucker Carlson is not unreliable:  “Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, any reasonable viewer ‘arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism’ about the statement he makes.”

Fox News host (and man who won’t mess up his coif by wearing a tinfoil hat) Tucker Carlson says the gubment is spying on him.  (You can see the video here from an earlier post.)

“Yesterday we heard from a whistleblower within the US government who reached out to warn us that the NSA, the National Security Agency, is monitoring out electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air.  Now that’s a shocking claim, and normally we’d be skeptical of it.  It’s illegal for the NSA to spy on American citizens.  It is a crime, it is not a Third World country.  Things like that should not happen in America.  But unfortunately they do happen, and in this case, they did happen.

It’s not often that I’ve had video’s deleted from YouTube.  In fact, it’s happened twice:  One was related to what an idiot L. Lin Wood is.

But the second one is more interesting.  Or I should say, the reason YouTube gave for deleting it, giving me a “strike” and putting my account on a one-week suspension was more interesting.

Apparently, YouTube has decided that One America News is a “violent criminal organization.”

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday ordered federal troops to be deployed to the Amazon rainforest to fight deforestation of the region as the dry season approaches, a time when farmers burn acres of trees to gain agricultural land.

According to the Associated Press, Bolsonaro announced the troops will be dispatched to the Para, Amazonas, Mato Grosso and Rondonia regions.  The federal decree signed by Bolsonaro did not mention the length of the deployment or how many troops would be sent.

While Bolsonaro has called for the development of the rainforest, he’s been under pressure from world leaders including US President Joe Biden to protect the Amazon, which is known as the “lungs of the planet” because of the amount of oxygen it produces.

Something seems seriously wrong with Donald Trump, Jr. as he tried to rant about the list of off-limits hacking targets President Joe Biden provided to Vladimir Putin.

“… he be like, I don’t think Joe’s smart enough to be like, ‘Hey, let’s send him off the trail, uh… Don’t hack the McDonald’s on DC… I mean, why doen’t [sic] he just give Putin, I don’t know, like the keys to the nuclear football.  Wha– what’s the list?  Don’t hack, one, Joe’s basement, two, Hunter’s businesses, three, Hunter’s laptop.  Ten percent for the big guy, four.  Don’t hack that.  Ah… what’s going on.”

Less than two days before the massive collapse of the Champlain Towers South condo complex, a pool contractor preparing an estimate became so concerned about cracks in the concrete and standing water he found in the underground garage, he took photos.

Eleven people have been declared dead in the building collapse, with more than 150 missing, which fell last week.

According to the Miami Herald, the pool contractor, who asked to remain anonymous, saw large sections of cracked concrete, corroded rebar and water throughout the basement-level garage.  He took photos that he provided to the Herald.

The contractor was asked for an estimate to undertake a cosmetic restoration of the pool and install new pool filtering and water circulation for the pool.  Some of that water filtration equipment was located under the pool on the same level as the garage.

Washington Post: “A fourth person who worked on former Virginia congressman Scott Taylor’s failed 2018 reelection bid has been charged with election fraud and turned himself in to authorities on Monday. Rob Catron, who worked as a consultant on Taylor’s campaign, was indicted June 21 on 10 counts of making a false statement and election fraud, a felony, according to court records. WAVY News 10 first reported the indictment. The allegations appear tied to a 2018 petition fraud scandal in which Taylor’s campaign sought to get a third-party spoiler candidate on the ballot, purportedly to siphon votes away from Taylor’s Democratic challenger, now-Rep. Elaine Luria.”

“But a judge ordered the candidate, Shaun Brown, off the ballot after finding many of the signatures gathered by Taylor’s campaign were forged. An investigation by the Virginian-Pilot found that some of the people whose signatures appeared on the petition were dead, while others did not recall signing anything or did not give permission for their name to be used. The scandal dogged both Taylor’s 2018 campaign and his 2020 rematch against Luria, who repeatedly bashed Taylor over the scandal as he insisted he did not know about the forged signatures. Three former staffers pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor election fraud charge as part of a plea deal, admitting to signing off as witnesses on the election petition that included the forged signatures. Their attorneys have said their clients did not know signatures were forged. It’s unclear what role prosecutors plan to allege that Catron played or what new evidence, if any, has emerged in the three-year-old case. Catron – who has worked on campaigns for Taylor dating back to Taylor’s days in the Virginia House of Delegates – declined to comment when reached Monday, as he was driving to turn himself in to authorities in Virginia Beach.

A NASA photographer captured a series of photographs on Friday of the International Space Station crossing the face of the Sun at the very moment two astronauts were on a space walk to install a new solar panel array, according to Space.com.

Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency and Shane Kimbrough of NASA were installing a Roll Out Solar Array, known as an iROSA, which will increase the power to the station by 20%, as the station transited between the Earth and the Sun.

A NASA photographer in Nellysford, Virginia captured seven images of the transit as the station was traveling 5 miles per second, or 18,000 miles per hour.

A heat dome is engulfing the West Coast of the United States, spiking temperatures in some areas surrounding Seattle to over 110 degrees, breaking the all-time high temperature ever recorded in the area, according to the Seattle Times.  Simultaneously, the Southeast states are threatened with a tropical storm.

The normal average high temperature in Seattle in June is 71.1 degrees, but temperatures have been elevated throughout the Pacific Northwest and in regions of California.  The heat dome forms when an area of hot air gets trapped by the jet stream.  The dome stretches from British Columbia, Canada to Oregon, and then down on a straight line along the Sierra Nevadas.

Georgia and South Carolina are prepping for landfall of Tropical Storm Danny, which is scheduled to make landfall Monday night.  Danny is the fourth named storm in the Atlantic, the first time four named storms have been identified before July 1st.

“Maricopa County Plans for New Vote Tabulation Equipment Phoenix – Today, Maricopa County responded to Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs’ May 20, 2021 letter in which she informed the County it should never again use the subpoenaed tabulation equipment that was compromised by the Arizona Senate. The voters of Maricopa County can rest assured, the County will never use equipment that could pose a risk to free and fair elections. The County recognizes Secretary Hobbs’ authority under ARS 5 16-442 to certify equipment for use in Arizona’s elections. As a result, the County will not use the subpoenaed equipment in any future elections. Maricopa County noted this potential risk in February when it asked the court for guidance on the Senate subpoenas.”

“Since then, the County has implemented back up plans that include acquiring new tabulation equipment for the March and May jurisdictional elections in 2021. With the backup equipment and the other certified tabulation equipment not subpoenaed, the Board of Supervisors, Elections Department and Recorder’s Office are working with our current vendor to replace the subpoenaed equipment so we will be able to serve voters for the November 2021 election” – Statement from Maricopa County government, via Arizona Republic reported Jen Fifield.

“Radical Left New York City and State Prosecutors, who have let murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and all other forms of crime to levels, and who have just announced that they will be releasing of people involved in violent crime back onto the without retribution of any kind, are rude, nasty, and totally biased in the way they are treating lawyers, representatives, and some of the wonderful long-term employees and people within the Trump Organization. After hundreds of subpoenas, over 3 million pages of documents, 4 years of searching, dozens and dozens of interviews, and millions of dollars of taxpayer funds wasted, they to ‘in search of a crime’ and will do anything to frighten people into making up the stories or lies that they want, but have been totally unable to get. In an unprecedented move, they retained an outside ‘Never Trumper’ lawyer from a Trump-hating law firm to work on the case. It is a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt of all time. Now they are issuing ultimatums, working in close conjunction with the Washington, D.C. hacks who have been investigating me from the day I came down the escalator in Trump Tower, but who have failed.”

“In fact, the guilty parties were these prosecutors’ partners in crime, the Radical Left Democrats and friends. They will do anything to stop the MAGA movement (and me), even if it involves prosecutorial misconduct and harassment of a political opponent, which they are using at levels rarely seen before. They leak, they lie, and they campaign based on information that has already been gone through in other of the many investigations I have put up with. Now they just leaked that we were given one day, today, to make our case about things that are standard practice throughout the U.S. business community, and in no way a crime” says Trump in a statement that keeps going, but we thought it’d be best to end the clip there, where he says the shit his company is about to be charged with did in fact happen.

Portland, Oregon hit an all-time high of 112° F on Monday, the highest temperature recorded there, ever, KATU reports. This is fully 41 degrees hotter in the city than on June 28, 2020, so yeah it’s pretty fucked. These temperatures are not merely uncomfortable, they’re downright lethal.

The MAGAverse constantly says Portland is burning to the ground, like every day because Antifa. They don’t really specify if the city was burned to the ground and then rebuilt the next morning and burned down again but it sounded like a good argument against Democrat policies so they just ran with it. Whatever the case, they’re probably going to leave that alone for a while because – you know – it’s not a good idea for them to bring it up when an extremely abnormal heat wave hits a city less than a week into summer. That might force them to acknowledge some troubling evidence in support of the “climate hoax”, which is a big no-no. Better to just avoid it altogether.

Here’s a clip from the complaint filed Monday against the Wisconsin Elections Commission by plaintiffs Richard Teigen and Richard Thom, represented by the “Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty”, described by Madison.com as a “A non-profit conservative law firm”:

“Under § 6.87(4)(b)1, there are only two methods allowed for casting an absentee ballot: (1) the U.S. Mail, and (2) handing the envelope containing the ballot in person to the municipal clerk. 5. This requirement with respect to how to cast an absentee ballot must be read in conjunction with Wis. Stat. § 12.13(3)(n) which provides that no person may ‘receive a ballot from or give a ballot to a person other than the election official in charge.’ Together these statutes require that the voter shall mail the envelope containing the ballot, or the voter shall deliver it ‘in person’ to the municipal clerk. There is no statutory basis to permit a third person to take possession of the ballot to mail it or to deliver it in person… Despite this requirement in the statutes, WEC Commissioners sent a memo to municipal clerks dated August 19, 2020, (the ‘August 2020 WEC Memo’) stating that absentee ballots do not need to be mailed by the voter or delivered by the voter, in person, to the municipal clerk but instead could be dropped into a drop box and that the ballot drop boxes could be unstaffed, temporary, or permanent. But a drop box is not the ‘municipal clerk.’ It is an unsupervised, inanimate object. Allowing ballots to be cast by placing them into an unsupervised, inanimate object invites the fraud and abuse that the Legislature was attempting to prevent by requiring strict compliance with the requirement that absentee ballots could only be cast by the two methods allowed under § 6.87(4)(b)1: (1) the U.S. Mail, and (2) handing the envelope containing the ballot in person to the municipal clerk.”

The US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from the Gloucester County (Virginia) school district to overturn a lower court decision that allows transgender students to decide which bathroom they would use, a victory in the fight for LGBTQ rights.

The Washington Post reports that the decision to refuse to hear the case effectively upholds the decision of the lower court to overturn the school district requirement that students use bathrooms associated with their assigned gender at birth.

While no final count on the decision to not hear the case was announced, Justices Thomas and Alito both said they would have accepted the case. 

New York Republican gubernatorial hopeful (and alleged son of a suspended attorney) Andrew Giuliani received no votes in a straw poll of state GOP county commissioners taken during a Party meeting in Albany Monday, Syracuse.com reports.

Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin received the overwhelming amount of support, with 85% of the vote.  Former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino 5%.  Ten percent of the commissioners abstained.

Giuliani released an internal poll Monday that showed that he had plurality support amount with Republican voters in the state, with 35.2% of support versus 27.2% for Zeldin.  Nearly one-third of voters were undecided.
