by Pam Martens and Russ Martens, Wall St On Parade: The first thing you need to know about crypto is that some of the smartest minds in investment and technology have studied crypto carefully and determined it’s a total sham. In July 2019, NYU Professor and economist Nouriel Roubini summed up his findings like this: […]

from ZeroHedge: The Biden administration’s statisticians at the Bureau of Labor Statistics have painted a rosy economic picture for the job market. Yet, voters know damn well the economy is in a persistent inflation storm sparked by Bidenomics. That’s why President Biden’s reelection odds are sinking by the month. The most recent BLS jobs report shows […]

House Speaker Mike Johnson is probably breathing just a little easier this morning, as Republican Michael Rulli's victory in Ohio's 6th Congressional District Tuesday night gave him just a tad more breathing room in his narrow Republican House majority. Rulli was widely expected to win, as former President Donald Trump...

Republicans grew their small majority in the House of Representatives after state Sen. Michael Rulli won a special election for a vacant seat in eastern Ohio. According to Roll Call, Rulli defeated Democrat Michael Kripchak 52 percent to 48 percent. “Rulli will serve the remainder of former Republican Rep. Bill Johnson’s term, which runs through January. When he is sworn in, Republicans will hold 219 seats to Democrats’ 213,” Roll Call stated. Johnson resigned from Congress to become president of Youngstown State University. Rulli and Kripchak will face each other again in November’s election. Some individuals suggest the GOP should worry after Tuesday’s results. The Ohio 6th CD special election results should be a major alarm bell for the entire GOP. Bill Johnson won this seat by 35 points in 2022. It’s a Trump +30 district. The Republican will win, but it is a 4.4 point race with 65% of the vote in. That’s insanely bad. pic.twitter.com/y7A6dTCqDE — Peter Henlein (@SwissWatchGuy) June 12, 2024 Donald Trump won this #OH06 Congressional district by +29 in 2020. Tonight, the Republican who won the special election by only +8 is an Ohio State Senator who spent over $700k, … while the Democrat is a first time candidate who only spent $25K. h/t @sjclermont pic.twitter.com/0rKFCL7b0r — Fernand R. Amandi (@AmandiOnAir) June 12, 2024 Per Roll Call: Rulli comes to Congress from the Ohio Senate, where he was elected to two terms starting in 2018. His state Senate seat encompasses many of the same eastern Ohio communities as the 6th Congressional District, and he beat state Rep. Reggie Stoltzfus by less than 9 percentage points in a March special primary. Rulli grew up in Poland, Ohio. His grandfather and great-uncle established the Rulli Bros. grocery store in 1917, which the family still operates at two locations in the Youngstown area. Rulli left his home town to attend Emerson College in Boston and played bass in a Boston-area grunge band called Red Bliss. Afterward, Rulli returned to Ohio and worked in the family business. He’s been in politics since winning a seat to the Leetonia School Board in 2009. In Congress, Rulli says his focus will be on growing the local economy, including manufacturing and energy industries in eastern Ohio. He plans to take up his predecessor Johnson’s legacy as a champion of oil and natural gas. As expected, Republicans will win this special election for Congress in Ohio – but the margin will raise eyebrows. In 2022, the GOP won this seat by 67-33 https://t.co/4s1a1uADV6 pic.twitter.com/AoGwiL1Ygv — Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) June 12, 2024 From the Associated Press: Rulli’s victory by roughly 10 percentage points was much closer than earlier GOP performances in Ohio’s 6th District. Johnson won his last four elections by more than 30 percentage points. Trump also carried the district by around 30 percentage points in 2020. While this was a special election held in the summer, when turnout traditionally dips, the results could offer hope for Democrats looking to be competitive this fall in Ohio and neighboring Pennsylvania. “We knew the polls were gong to be close, and the guy I ran against really worked. He’s a really hard worker,” Rulli said. “But this is a blue-collar district, this is Bruce Springstein, the forgotten man, ‘Joe Bag of Donuts.’ They don’t trust the Democrats and Republicans, and they look at the individual. And I’m really good at retail politics.” The second-term state senator is from Salem in Ohio’s Mahoning Valley, where he directs operations for his family’s 100-year-old chain of grocery stores.

Former Donald Trump adviser and War Room host Steve Bannon filed an emergency motion Tuesday evening asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to overrule a lower court’s order that he report to prison by July 1st. Bannon is seeking sufficient time to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary, over his contempt of Congress conviction. He was sentenced to four months in prison for defying subpoenas from the J6 Committee. JUST IN: Steve Bannon files an emergency request at the D.C. Circuit, asking them to prevent him from having to report to prison on July 1 for his contempt of Congress conviction. https://t.co/3nUbFwzNdX pic.twitter.com/OHzmF2PTx2 — Chris “Law Dork” Geidner (@chrisgeidner) June 11, 2024 NBC News reports: Bannon’s attorney argued in Tuesday’s filing that his imprisonment would block him from acting as a “meaningful adviser” in the campaign leading up to the November election. “The government seeks to imprison Mr. Bannon for the four-month period leading up to the November election, when millions of Americans look to him for information on important campaign issues,” wrote Trent McCotter, a new addition to Bannon’s legal team. “This would also effectively bar Mr. Bannon from serving as a meaningful advisor in the ongoing national campaign.” A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit last month upheld Bannon’s contempt of Congress conviction, prompting the trial judge who presided over Bannon’s case to rule that he must report to prison at the end of the month. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, said last week that the “original basis” for his stay of the imposition of Bannon’s sentence no longer applied after an appeals court upheld the conviction. “There is also no denying the political realities here. Mr. Bannon is a high-profile political commentator and campaign strategist. He was prosecuted by an administration whose policies are a frequent target of Mr. Bannon’s public statements,” the motion says, according to Fox News. Per Fox News: The motion Tuesday comes after Trump was convicted on 34 felony charges in his New York City hush money trial and faces a sentencing hearing next month just four days before the Republican National Convention, where the GOP will likely declare him their official 2024 presidential nominee. Bannon “intends to vigorously pursue his remaining appeals in this case and has retained experienced Supreme Court counsel,” his lawyers wrote Tuesday, asking the court to allow him to remain on release given there is “no dispute that Mr. Bannon ‘is not likely to flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community if released’ —indeed, he has been out on release for years now without incident, and his ‘crime’ was non-violent.” “Mr. Bannon faced what the Court has described as a novel scenario: Congress was pursuing documents and testimony from a former executive branch official, yet counsel for the former President himself required Mr. Bannon to protect executive privilege in responding to the subpoena,” the motion says. “Mr. Bannon followed the advice of his counsel and requested that the Committee resolve the privilege issues with the holder of that privilege, or have the matter resolved in a civil suit.” Bannon’s lawyer at trial argued that the former adviser did not ignore the subpoena, but was still engaged in good-faith negotiations with the congressional committee when he was charged.
