Well, well, well, close Biden family associate Alexander Mackler worked in the Delaware US Attorney's office 2016-2019
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf featured prominently in the testimony of two IRS agents who spent years working on the Hunter Biden investigation. Both Gary Shapley and Ziegler, the IRS whistleblowers, said Wolf intervened to stop multiple investigative steps from moving forward, including by preventing FBI agents from asking witnesses any questions about Joe Biden’s involvement in foreign business affairs and by tipping off Hunter Biden’s attorneys about a planned search of his storage unit.
Wolf worked alongside Mackler in the U.S. attorney’s office before Mackler’s departure. She and Mackler prosecuted a major case together, for example.
More.

NASA Psyche Mission headed to iron and nickel-rich asteroid possibly worth quadrillions
The current value of ~208,874 tonnes of all the gold ever mined is only $14.47 trillion, so the discovery and mining of huge new supplies of precious metals could cause a deflationary depression . . . some day.
Launch date is October, arriving in 2029.
Meanwhile we can exchange worthless pieces of paper for all kinds of stuff made in China.
Seems fair.

DeSantis' average in the polling has dropped to 19.3% in July from 21.5% in June, 39.9% don't want Trump in July vs. 40.9% in June
The GOP seems more determined to go down with their captain than they did a month ago, however so slightly.
Meanwhile many-mucho-mega-multi-millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, age 37, born in Cincinnati in 1985, surges to third place.
LOL US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm: Our planet is on fire, but OPEC needs to produce more crude oil
No kidding.

To be fair the whole team is gay
NFL coach comes out as gay in first for American pro sports...
Oh, sorry, I was thinking of a different team.
Scott Walker, who ought to know, urges DeSantis to spend less while remembering what made Trump's campaign unique
He's from Milwaukee. For president in 2016 he spent like he was blitzed on Blatz.
Here:
From the moment he opened his mouth at the first presidential primary debate in Cleveland, he took command of the discussion. Every voter knew he was going to build the wall, drain the swamp, and prevent radical Islamic terrorists from coming to America.
Yeah, build the wall.
Too bad about that.

C'mon man, the National Weather Service can't decide RIGHT NOW what the weather is, let alone tomorrow, next week, next year, or in ten years
One man's partly sunny is not another man's mostly cloudy.
Trump has learned nothing, still admires the strong man of China
“Think of President Xi. Central casting, brilliant guy. You know, when I say he’s brilliant, everyone says, ‘Oh that’s terrible,'” said Trump during the event. “Well, he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. Smart, brilliant, everything perfect. There’s nobody in Hollywood like this guy. I got them to pay us $28 billion because they screwed our farmers for years.”
Here.
Not even Asian Americans like China, including Chinese Asian Americans.
LOL WaPo: "Global warming has brought a steady increase in average temperatures"
Except it hasn't. Average temperature in Phoenix is still running 1 deg. F below normal year-to-date.
Mean average annual temperature in Phoenix is 72.2 deg. F since 1895. Year-to-date it's 72.9. In 1974, the year of its big June heat wave, it was 73.1. The hottest year ever by average temperature was six years ago, when Phoenix averaged 77.3.
WaPo didn't check apparently, or simply omitted the inconvenient data.
Same with Reno, NV and Las Vegas, NV, both of which are mentioned in the story.
Reno is running 2.8 deg. F below normal year-to-date. Las Vegas is running 2.4 deg. F below normal.
El Paso is indeed setting records, but year-to-date its average temperature is still only 1.5 deg. F above normal. Annualized it would make the top ten warmest years ever, but the year is far from over.
Either way, WaPo is simply full of it, as usual.
It's also worth mentioning the special pleading going on.
WaPo cites the June 1974 Phoenix climatological records as proof that it's hotter now than during that heat wave:
Temperatures have averaged above 101 degrees in Phoenix over the past 17 days. That is significantly hotter than another record-setting heat wave, when the city surpassed 110 degrees on 18 consecutive days in 1974. During that stretch, temperatures averaged 96.5 degrees.
The June 1974 data is the same data The Weather Gods have now declared unreliable, but WaPo wants to have it both ways when the micro-average-comparisons are convenient, you know, like Hillary or Hunter, one law for me, another for thee:
Reliable observation times are not available prior to 1982.
