Rule 5 Saturday - Charlette Bree

This week we're off to Australia again for Charlette Bree:
International model who has been featured in publications such as Maxim, Covergirl, and People. She has built an online following of more than 150,000 fans on her personal Instagram account.

She intended on becoming a singer prior to finding work as a model.
Model Mayhem
My name's Charlette, and I'm a 32 year old model from Sydney Australia.
...
I am extremely hard working and very motivated. I like to try and learn new things, and love entertaining. As well as modelling I sing, act, am advanced in yoga, and love to travel.

I've been involved in the entertainment industry for over 18 years, beginning my career as a professional singer. I then evolved into modelling in 2009 when I became apart of Australia's next top model top 30. Since then I've modelled for many catalogues, workshops and magazines.
And she smiles.

Flotsam and Jetsam - More Fun with Fauci

In The Mailbox: 07.29.26
Yep, Tony Fauci and his travelling medicine show are still the main topic. At Fox, Jonathan Turley opines Fauci took the Fifth, but his diary may have already answered for him. "Dr. Anthony Fauci had every reason to fear Wednesday's Senate hearing after his diary revealed startling contradictions." PJM's Stephen Kruiser says Sure, Roasting Fauci Is Fun, but There's No Do-Over for the Biden Years. At How To Subvert Subversion with Yuri Bezmenov, Fauci Should Be in Jail, Not Georgetown. From Campus Reform, "Fauci's testimony is a slap in the face to students like me". PJM's Cathy Salgado hears RFK is Appalled That Fauci Hid His Own Vaccine Injury From the Public. To be fair, we don't really know his pulmonary infarction was a result of the vaccine, but it happened shortly thereafter, and it's a reasonable inference. Hans Mahncke at Da Fed has 10 Questions For Congress To Ask Fauci About His Covid Corruption And Coverup. I doubt they'll get a second bite of that apple. 

Nick Arama at RedState hears Fauci Fumes Post-Hearing - Rand Paul Has Some Helpful Advice. "Walk it off." Althouse, "I can explain and validate everything that I've done." Video at link. From Breitbart, Fauci Diaries: Delusional Anthony Fauci Believed Attacks on Him Were a Rightwing Plot to ‘Destroy Democracy.’ At State of the Day, State of Wednesday: DR. FAUCI AND MR. DRUMPF. "Nobody is as important as Dr. Fauci, said Dr. Fauci." Tim O'Brien at PJM says Don’t Forget the Role the ‘Scarf Queen’ Played in the Fauci Cabal. Hat Hair's Dave Strom, Deborah Birx Was Never Pardoned; UPDATE: Birx Admits Election Influenced COVID Response. "Birx is Dr. Fauci's accomplice, and while far less evil than Fauci, because there is little indication that she actually conspired to create the COVID virus that wiped out tens of millions of people, she participated in the subsequent destruction that destroyed lives and split this country apart. She lied repeatedly, causing enormous damage, and decided that she and Fauci could run a shadow government and do an end run around the political leadership elected by the American people." I'm also not sure she committed a crime; although she clearly lied to Trump about a number of things. As President, Trump was the real head of the DOJ, does that make it lying to a law enforcement officer? Just a stab in back dark. Jordan Schachtel @JordanSchachtel, "They should also haul Deborah Birx before committees. She does not have pardon immunity, and she was arguably equally as destructive as Fauci." She did sort of slide out of view before the scale of the deception became obvious. More at Ace's Quick Hits.

KC @KCPayTreeIt, "Anyone else remember the two Bakersfield REAL doctors, Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi, who got silenced and whose YouTube video was removed due to “misinformation” during COVID, all because they provided science-based info to the public that went against the “experts”?" Google censored two of my blog posts, apparently for citing the Great B@rrington Declaration. Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "It’s insane that any of these people were ever taken seriously again after this." Althouse cites "[Senator Bernie Moreno] requested those in the audience to stand up if they had paid a professional, legal, or personal price for dissenting from Covid orthodoxies ..." Siraj Hashmi @SirajAHashmi, "“What radicalized you?” Me:" "NPR: Dozens of public health officials have signed open letter in support of the nationwide anti-racism protests. White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19, they wrote. Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke, "The central lesson of everything surrounding Covid is that the institutions are broken, all of them. Continuing to cite those same institutions as proof that their own claims were true is therefore either breathtakingly stupid or deliberately dishonest. I cannot tell whether this guy genuinely believes the lies or is merely pretending to be dumb enough to believe them." Quote Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan, "The members of the Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens (SAGO) for the World Health Organization (WHO) "determined that most of the peer-reviewed scientific evidence supports the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 has a zoonotic origin, meaning that it came from an animal. - Nature magazine, February 2026 "

Matt Vespa at TownHall has his irony meter busted, Wait, Ketanji Brown Jackson Really Said That…on This Podcast? "Justice Jackson said she’s very careful about which public engagements she participates in to avoid appearing partisan. It’s a classic lack of self-awareness that’s frankly remarkable. She wants to seem impartial, which is fine, but she made these remarks on Michelle Obama’s podcast. You cannot make this up." From WUWT, Elena Kagan Gave Bogus Science a Blind Endorsement. "Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan’s admission at a July Senate hearing raises troubling questions about accountability in judicial education. Kagan confirmed she had written the foreword for the Federal Judicial Center’s Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence without reading a chapter on climate change that was eventually removed because of objectionable biases – and has yet to read it." Sundance is outraged the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Says Illegal Alien Detention Unlawful Because No Other President Did It.

Hat Hair's Beege Welborn sees The Cornyn-Tillis Losers' Revenge Tour Continues. Sundance at CTH, Senators Cornyn and Tillis Block Todd Blanche from AG Confirmation. Adam Turner at Am Great thinks The GOP Is Fighting to Hold the House. It Just Might Do It. "The GOP faces a tough midterm environment—but redistricting wins, financial strength, and Democrat divisions could help Republicans preserve their fragile House majority." Atop Da Hill, White House eyes reopening oil refineries amid high gasoline prices. Joel Berry @JoelWBerry, "These guys have a game they play where they propose the worst solutions imaginable, and if you reject their solutions, they act like you have no plan to defeat the Left at all. I've read your idiot manifesto, Charles. Your plan calls for us to lose on purpose, to accelerate the destruction of the United States, kick off a civil war, and somehow build something better from the ashes. Other solutions from your tribe include burning the Constitution and installing a new Franco. It's all infantile nonsense..."



At RedState, Nick Arama sees a Concerning Poll About Socialists in Democrat Party - Adam Schiff's Response Explains the Problem RNC Research @RNCResearch, "Adam Schiff is fine with the Socialist takeover of his party if it means Democrats will win. CNN: “Are you on board with this?” SCHIFF: “I would rather be in that big tent in the majority than be a smaller party that is stuck forever in the minority.” Ace, One Third of All Democrats Now Identify As Socialists, While Only 39% of Country Would Consider Voting for a Socialist. "John Nolte..." Dan McCarthy at RCP compares Democratic Socialists of America vs. John Adams. Jared Gould, Degrees of Discontent: How Higher Education Created a Downwardly Mobile Elite. "America has produced more credentialed elites than the economy has room for—and the DSA is where the surplus is landing." At The View From North Central Idaho, Socialist Do Not Understand Numbers, or physics or biology. From AMAC, Mamdani & Champagne Socialist Allies Masquerade as Working-Class Heroes, "According to internal data, 85 percent of DSA members are white, and 58 percent hold professional or managerial jobs—while just four percent are blue-collar workers." From RCW, Arresting Netanyahu in America Would Be Illegal. At the Free Bacon, Abdul El-Sayed, Who Said Trump Tax Bill Benefited 'Folks Who Don't Really Need More Money,' Claimed $26,000 Trump Tax Deduction. TBF, it's stupid not to use a tax deduction you're eligible for. CJ says Hasan Piker and Code Pink Went to Cuba. Now They Might Be Under Investigation. From Da Wire, Jewish Democrat AG Won’t Attend Party’s Convention Due To Safety Concerns. "In Michigan, both Israel and antisemitism have played an large role in the Democratic primary, leading to worries over harassment of jewish attendees."

Yoseliani Ann Marte Ocasio
Capt. Ed says It's Official: Shame Has Died in Politics, and the Media Killed It. Twitchy sees Maine Dems Swap Nazi Senate Candidate for Guy Who Fathered Kids With His Second Cousin. Matt Vespa, Well, No One Expected to Find Out That Bit of Family History About Troy Jackson. The Maine Wire @TheMaineWire, "RELATIVE ATTRACTION: We can confirm that Troy Jackson and his longtime partner are second cousins. They have two children together." Ilhan Omar says hold my beer... Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "MAJOR BREAKING: MA Medical Examiner officially rules death of woman found dead in home owned by Rep Pressley’s ex-con husband, a HOMICIDE The victim was identified as Yoseliani Ann Marte Ocasio, 18 Let me repeat A MURDER VICTIM WAS FOUND IN A SITTING REP’S HUSBAND’S HOME." and This is 18-year-old Yoseliani Ann Marte Ocasio She was found murdered in a home owned by Rep Ayanna Pressley’s ex-con husband You probably won’t see this is the leftist media. Edwin Edwards bows to the master. Amy Curtis at TownHall reports the Company of 'Squad' Member's Husband Just Landed $2B Contract in a Blue State and It's Shady, "Conan Harris, the husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), is a partner in a company that was just selected for an almost $2 billion deal to build a new courthouse in Springfield, Massachusetts."

Don Surber is not upset that DNC is broke, "Its financial situation is as bankrupt as its communist ideas." (((Aaron Walker))) @AaronWorthing, "So just to be clear, Kamala Harris‘s team is now promoting Alex Jones." Quote Headquarters @HQNewsNow, "Alex Jones calls for Trump to be impeached and for Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment." Amy Curtis shows Ro Khanna and Bob Brooks 'New Economic Patriotism' Tour Doesn't Hold Up to Scrutiny.

At RedState, the Heartland Institute says Here Are the Hard Facts That Doom Every Proposed Social Security Fix. It's the math, stupid. "John Hart, president of Open the Books, told Fox Business News the only way to save the system is to means-test recipients and eliminate everyone but the indigent. Host Stuart Varney rightly pointed out that no politician could survive the firestorm that would result from that." PJM's VodkaPundit takes a look at California's Impending Energy Disaster That Nobody Talks About, and they have no one but themselves to blame. Beege Welborn notices the Seattle Police Chief Who Was Out of Town a Lot Now Likely Out of a Job, Too.

At the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 07.30.26
Sundance reports More than 50,000 Migrants from Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa Swarm Spain’s Enclave of Ceuta. A Driscolly post at Insty is a good start, SPAIN IS BEING INVADED RIGHT NOW; UPDATE: Georgia Meloni Responds, Threatens to Cut Off Spain. Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_, "This takes me back to Del Rio, TX in 2021 w/ the Haitian surge. Similar images. This is what the DSA/socialist platform looks like in practice - in another country. No borders. No immigration enforcement. Complete freedom of movement without any resistance from the government." Quote Inevitable West @Inevitablewest, "BREAKING: An emergency has now been declared in the Spanish city of Ceuta after tens of thousands of illegal migrants break in from Morocco Pedro Sánchez is REFUSING to deploy the military to defend the borders." And AARON HANSCOM: Elon Musk Was Right: Pedro Sánchez Is a Traitor. At Ace's Thousands of Africans Flood Past Weak Fencing to Enter Spanish City of Ceuta, Saying "Goodbye Morocco, Hello Spain;" The Socialist, Open Borders Government Refuses to Halt the Mass Illegal Migration "The Democrats have a plan for America. This is that plan." 𝓐𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓷 𝓡𝓪𝔂 @2CynicAl65, "All fighting age men. Curious." Quote RadioGenoa @RadioGenoa, "North African Muslim criminals have just broken into Spain from Morocco via Ceuta. Europe is under attack." Dr Helen Ingram @drhingram, "I’m sat in a pub watching Sky News and there’s no mention of the invasion in Spain today, just repeated adverts for a documentary about a girl who lied about grooming gangs. Is this the state of the MSM? No wonder they want to stamp out citizen journalism on social media." Cathy Salgado hears John Cleese Drops Truth Bombs About Islamic Culture “I'm not a racist. I'm a culturalist[.] I believe some cultures are superior to others.” He went on, “For example, I prefer cultures that do not encourage wife beating, paedophilia, clitorectomies, stoning and constant inflation of the male ego[.] I am also aware of the difference between Islamoscepticism and Islamophobia.” Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf, "Portugal is banning burqas and niqabs in public places, with fines up to 4,000 euros. Muslim men who force their wives or female relatives to wear one will also face 3 years in prison. Burqas were described as a ‘symbol of women’s oppression and a threat to public safety.’"

It's a little late, but Ace notes Trump Activates Never-Before-Used Court To Deport Terrorists "The court had been created in 1996 to quickly deport terrorist-sympathizing aliens. I imagine it was created in response to the first bombing of the World Trade Center by Muslim savages. But it was just some empty posturing. It was never actually used. But Trump discovered this unused authority hanging around gathering dust it and now he's using it." We'll see if the judges let him. From Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog, ICE Dismantles Criminal SIM Farms. "Remember last year’s story about a “SIM farm” that was later linked to China? ICE just shut down a whole lot more." Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx, "SHOCKING new whistleblower testimony: 200 migrant kids sent to the same container park. Xavier Becerra KNEW and covered it up. Employees who objected were FIRED. “She got terminated. Becerra was aware.”" At The Independent, More than 200,000 migrants have taken Trump up on his offer to get paid for self-deporting.

At NewsBusters, Couric Admits She, Democrat Producer Worked In an 'Artful Way' To Undermine Palin. Pradheep J. Shanker, M.D. @neoavatara, "Trump really made a difference on this. He deserves a lot of credit." Quote FIRE @TheFIREorg, "Restrictive campus speech policies are at a historic low. FIRE’s latest Spotlight on Speech Codes found major improvements, with a record number of schools earning our highest rating and, for the first time, fewer than 10% of public colleges having restrictive policies."

WSJ opines ‘Restorative Justice’ Brings Violent Schools. "Why would anyone think you could discipline bullies by inviting them to talk about their feelings?" From the College Fix, 40% won’t hire Trump voters: New report details higher education’s ideological divide. And that's only how many admit it openly.

Ace wakes up to the realization The Gay Communists of the WNBA Micro-Fandom Harass, Threaten Two Teenage Girls for Supporting Sophie Cunningham and All-Female Sports "Just disgraceful. They're animals." Beege Welborn thinks The WNBA Is Run by Numbskulls.
