MADRID – A Madrid Court on Monday indicted Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, on four charges, including embezzlement, influence peddling, corruption in business dealings and misappropriation of funds.
Following a two-year investigation, Judge Juan Carlos Peinado ruled that Gómez should stand trial for alleged misconduct during her tenure as co-director of two master’s programmes and a special chair at Madrid’s Complutense University, and potentially appear before a jury.”

I don’t necessarily think that Swalwell’s opting out of the governor’s race will help the Dems win. Katie Porter, the next highest dem, has a lot of baggage on her own, including some recent horrendous news footage showing some unbecoming public behavior.

More “Deep State” interference, indicating a conspiracy within the various Intel departments, is being declassified by Tulsi. The push to get rid of Trump, by those in high government positions, is unsettling but needed.
”In total there are about 450 pages of documents and transcripts to read and review. The story they tell is remarkable as it outlines how internal people within the various intelligence agencies of the United States government, collaborated and used their positions of responsibility to target a sitting president for impeachment and removal.
In short, in addition to all the “Spygate” surveillance and “Russiagate” wrongdoing, these documents highlight the real and actionable activity by the U.S. Intelligence Community to work collaborative with congress during their targeting of President Trump.”

Those declassified docs were given to John Solomon who broke the story this morning. Included, in the government characters involved with Trump’s undeserved impeachment, is Adam Schiff dealing with his multiple lies, along with the now publicly disgraced Swalwell. Ironically, the same cast of democrat degenerates were major players in almost every contrived hoax and impeachments to kick Trump permanently to the curb. Because these acts formed a tangible web of deliberate actions it could be called a “conspiracy” which carries more weight in legally prosecuting people conspiring to get rid of a sitting president.
Excerpted from Solomon’s Just The News blog:
”The admitted, potential biases that a Ukraine impeachment whistleblower relayed to investigators for the intelligence community watchdog during the first Trump Administration were redacted and concealed from House investigators in 2019, newly declassified and released transcripts show.
The long-secret transcripts were from a September 2019 unclassified session and an October 2019 classified session that were held to examine then-Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson’s role in the handling of an alleged whistleblower complaint.
The missive was written by an anonymous intelligence officer, identified as Eric Ciaramella, in a saga that ultimately led to the first successful impeachment efforts by House Democrats against President Donald Trump in December 2019. “

”Mr. Swalwell walks away from his blanket party bruised and stumbling. He suspended his campaign. It’s hard to see a political future for him, but stranger things have happened in politics. The partisan split in Congress is tighter than a tick. Every warm body counts. Will the Democratic Party Machine toss Mr. Swalwell overboard even if doing so makes life a little easier for congressional Republicans for the next few months?
That would be a real surprise.”

Just weeks ago, Cloobeck called Swalwell his “little brother” in an interview with Politico, and he scoffed in a previous interview with The Post when asked about rumors that Swalwell may have acted inappropriately with female staff and interns.
Cloobeck, who said he has been a Democrat for “almost 40-year plus,” is now unsure where the allegations will ultimately lead, but he said the controversy was enough to make him walk away.
“I don’t know where these facts are going to end up — you hear or read all this stuff,” he said
On top of letting the deeply-in-debt congressman frequently stay at his 9,700-square-foot mansion, Cloobeck gave the maximum $39,200 to Swalwell’s campaign and gifted the congressman a $31,000 trip to France in 2024.
And Cloobeck wasn’t done. He unloaded on fellow billionaire Tom Steyer — who has burned through nearly $100 million on the California governor’s race — calling it “spending all this money on bulls***.” He then torched the entire Democratic Party on his way out the door.
“I am no longer supporting Eric. F***ing tell everyone I’m a libertarian. F*** you, Democrat Party. I’m a libertarian now.”
He added, “I’m going to change my G*****n party affiliation, because I cannot stand this Democratic Party at all. I am done. Finito.”
Billionaire seems pissed off….

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and then something happened that nobody in the Democrat run media is reporting, for obvious reasons. The world just… switched suppliers.
Hundreds of supertankers, the kind that carry two million barrels each, are currently racing toward the US Gulf Coast from every direction. Atlantic, Indian Ocean, around Africa, the scenic route, the “we were heading to Saudi Arabia but NVM” route.
American oil exports are approaching record levels. Gulf Coast refineries are running at 95% capacity. Supertankers that were mid-ocean on their way to the Persian Gulf literally turned around and headed to Texas. That’s not a metaphor. Ship tracking data shows them doing U-turns in the Indian Ocean.
Meanwhile China, which was getting 45% of its oil imports through Hormuz and paying basement prices for sanctioned Iranian crude, is now competing with Japan and Europe for the same American barrels.
So to summarize: the United States became the world’s gas station and China’s cheap energy subsidy evaporated.
This is either the most elaborate coincidence in the history of geopolitics… or someone planned the sequence Venezuela -> Iran -> profits!

I disagree, and what Vance said is a good start. Catholics need to rebel against having communist doctrine replace traditional church doctrine.
They need to rebel against a Pope who defends an Iranian regime that persecutes Catholics on a daily basis. The Pope mourns “victims” of US and Israeli bombings but says nothing the atrocities perpetrated by Iran against its own people. Nothing about Hezbollah and Hamas rockets into populated areas of Israel.
