House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will meet with Democrats in Texas on Wednesday, his office told POLITICO on Tuesday. The move comes as President Donald Trump urges lawmakers to redraw the state’s congressional map in Republicans’ favor.

President Trump paved the way for military action with his designation of Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. The designation led to the authorization of surveillance flights by the CIA over Mexico and the deployment of U.S. Navy guided missile destroyers off the Mexican coast. The idea that the U.S. could take direct military action against the Mexican drug cartels in Mexico has long been contemplated by many. Drone strikes could target cartel leaders, their security forces, and their manufacturing facilities, like the U.S. Reaper drones in Afghanistan were used to destroy the Taliban drug facilities.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted co-conspirator of the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is asking to postpone her scheduled congressional deposition — and making a series of other demands as conditions of her cooperation with Hill investigators. It comes following a recent vote by a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee to subpoena Maxwell amid mounting pressure from House Republicans to release materials related to the larger Epstein investigation. Full committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.) subsequently sent a letter to Maxwell, who is in prison, compelling her to speak with the committee on Aug. 11. Maxwell’s attorneys indicated last week she…

Ghislaine Maxwell wants immunity to be deposed in Congress. Unless given immunity by the Oversight Committee, Maxwell will likely plead the Fifth Amendment during her deposition.

The result of these talks will be released ‘at the appropriate moment’ – it’s anybody’s guess when that will happen. Meanwhile, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoenaed her for a…

That includes creating special effects shots more quickly and cheaply than it previously had been able to with traditional visual effects tools and processes.” The AI future has arrived, and the same elites who said…
