The Conservative Cave

As we've reported, they've already started with the "JD Vance is worse than Trump" rhetoric, and the vice president was in hot water with the pro-illegal alien crowd when he reposted on X a post from Stephen Miller describing Pretti, who was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents, as an assassin. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tried to turn the tables by saying that Vance believed that "American people should be assassinated in the street." Video from a previous incident shows that Pretti was far from a peaceful protester, and he was found with a (legally owned) gun.

A dweeb reporter from The Daily Mail interviewed Vance and seemed insistent on securing a promise from Vance that he would apologize to Pretti's family for suggesting he was an assassin. Vance's response was classic.

Note that this video was posted by FactPost, which previously operated under the handle Kamala HQ and is the official rapid-response account of the Democratic Party.

We don't see "For what?" becoming as famous as "I really don't care, Margaret," but it's worthy. The way this administration deals with the press is fantastic. MSNBC shamed President Joe Biden into apologizing for calling Laken Riley's murderer an "illegal." You won't see that happening with this administration.

Four people, including two Venezuelan citizens, used 115 stolen identities in a $1 million food stamps and pandemic unemployment fraud scheme, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

Federal prosecutors said the suspects stole the identities from people all across the country, including six children, to obtain supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) benefits in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and pandemic unemployment benefits from Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington and Nevada.

The defendants were identified as Joel Vicioso Fernandez, 42, and Raul Fernandez Vicioso, 37, both of Fitchburg, Massachusetts; and Roman Vequiz Fernandez, 32, and Coralba Albarracin Siniva, 24, both Venezuelan nationals living in Leominster, Massachusetts.

The suspects also provided images of counterfeit passports and passport cards, with metadata that indicated the images were taken inside or within the immediate vicinity of El Primo Restaurant — a restaurant operated by Raul Fernandez Vicioso in Leominster, Massachusetts, federal prosecutors said.

The SNAP benefits were used to make bulk purchases of food items, including multiple-pound packages of chicken, beef and pork, at various local wholesalers and food markets to stock El Primo Restaurant, authorities said.

Multiple Los Angeles officials have called on 2028 LA Olympics committee chair Casey Wasserman to resign after his flirtatious emails with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell became public.

Wasserman, 51, is the founder of a global sports marketing and talent agency that rapidly expanded thanks to a flurry of key competitor acquisitions. He’s also been a key figure in LA’s plans for the 2028 Olympics, both from the initial attempts to bring the sporting event to the city and as chairman of the committee once the games were officially coming to Southern California.

But Wasserman was back in the news this week for an entirely different reason. The U.S. Department of Justice released a new batch of Jeffrey Epstein files that not only included personal communications from the convicted sex offender but also included communication between Wasserman and Maxwell. The two went back and forth with racy emails, in which Epstein’s former girlfriend wrote about giving Wasserman a massage and he asked her, “So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?”
