"BREAKING: Trump’s administration has declassified the Durham Annex, discovered in burn bags inside a “secret room,” confirming that Hillary Clinton conspired with Obama’s FBI to fabricate the Russia Collusion Hoax - The Steele dossier was pushed despite clear flaws. - FBI leaders ignored intelligence that discredited the Russia collusion claim. - Under Comey, the FBI dismissed evidence the Clinton campaign created the hoax but used the dossier to secure illegal FISA warrants on Carter Page. Treason." NYPo wants you to Read the documents that prove Hillary Clinton OK’d plan to ‘smear’ Trump with Russia collusion.

NewsMax cites Trump: I Hear Fed Will Slash Interest Rates in September. James Fishback @j_fishback "I’ve watched every Fed press conference since they began in 2011. I spent a decade trading interest rate derivatives. Following the Fed was literally my full-time job. Yesterday was the most confusing, bizarre, and blatantly political Fed press conference I’ve ever seen. Jerome Powell keeps moving the goalposts from meeting to meeting to justify keeping rates at 20-year highs—the lower-than-expected inflation data be damned! Why? It looks like an effort to sabotage President Trump and his economic agenda. And real people are paying the price. Americans can't get a home because they can't afford a mortgage because Powell won't get off his anti-Trump high horse and lower rates like every single central bank in the West has this year. He's hurting workers, families, retirees, and businesses small and large. What Jerome Powell is doing is economically illiterate and deeply un-American."

VodkaPundit at Insty sees HARDBALL: Texas GOP unveils new planned congressional map. "The maps are expected to create five new House seats that President Trump won by double digits in November. Trump had pressed Lone Star State Republicans to redraw the lines to protect the party’s narrow 219-212 House majority in next year’s midterms. State Rep. Todd Hunter (R) filed the proposal as Texas lawmakers met for a special session. The maps could endanger Democrats’ efforts to take back the lower chamber next year. In response to the moves in Texas, Democrats in California and other blue states have floated their own redistricting possibilities, heating up a redistricting war ahead of the midterms. . .
