This is a lightly edited transcript of a July 27 segment of the Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words podcast.

We’re approaching five months of our on and off war with Iran, but it’s not really quite five months of war. It’s more like forty days of kinetic action, the first forty days, and then the subsequent hundred and ten days are often on negotiations with the Iranian regime, once in a while punctuated with exchanges of missiles and bombs, etc.

So where are we now? What is the strategy of the United States? We’ve been talking about the midterms for seven months, six months, five months, four months, three months, but as we’re looking at August, September, and October, we’re getting down now close to just three months.

US_ 'America Is Toast If the Radical Left Wins': Elon Musk Reportedly All-In on GOP Midterm Efforts ( Bob Hoge - REDSTATE )

'America Is Toast If the Radical Left Wins': Elon Musk Reportedly All-In on GOP Midterm Efforts

The world’s richest man, SpaceX/Tesla CEO Elon Musk, was once Donald Trump’s good friend and donated some $260 million in the 2024 election to help the now-president and other GOP candidates get elected. He campaigned heavily for the Republican nominee and, after the inauguration, became the public face of the now-shuttered Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).


Then they had a
falling out in June of '25 — Elon had issues with the One Big Beautiful Bill, largely because it eliminated electric vehicle subsidies and Musk thought it contained a “mountain of disgusting pork” — and things turned ugly. Musk went so far as accusing Trump of hiding the Epstein Files because his name was probably in them.

It looked like a doomed relationship.

But as with other Trump alliances that looked to be broken forever (think Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, and even, unbelievably, former fixer turned foe
Michael Cohen), Trump has once again patched things up somewhat with the tech titan, and reports indicate that Musk wants to be a major player in helping the GOP win the midterms. 

“America is toast if the radical left wins,” he wrote in January.


Driving the news: Musk is resuscitating his dormant super PAC, America PAC, which spent more than $260 million to help get President Trump elected in 2024.

* America PAC will focus on door-knocking, digital advertising and direct mail aimed at turning out the conservative base, including voters who typically are less inclined to cast ballots in a non-presidential election year, sources with knowledge of the plans tell Axios.

* Musk's representatives declined to specify exactly how much he'd spend. But given what he donated in 2024, the number is expected to be high.

INVESTIGATION_ Scientists who nominated Fauci for prize money received millions in NIAID funding ( Mia Cathell - WASHINGTON EXAMINER )

WASHINGTON EXAMINER




Scientists who nominated Fauci for prize money received millions in NIAID funding


By Mia Cathell
Published July 29, 2026 6:00am ET | Updated July 29, 2026 8:03am ET


Two immunology researchers who nominated Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for awards that carried substantial cash prizes went on to receive millions of dollars in NIAID research funding after nominating the agency’s chief.

Recently released email exchanges between Fauci and those scientists show that the former NIAID director, in some cases, solicited the award submissions, supplied all of the supporting material himself, and even performed a bulk of the work that the recommendations entailed.

“The records raise the obvious question of a quid-pro-quo given the large amount of prize money at hand,” Sen.
Rand Paul (R-KY), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a 136-page release of Fauci’s communication files.

US Challenges China’s Dominance in Africa with New Rare-Earth Bet

The initiative reflects Washington’s strategy to diversify sources of essential minerals currently dominated by China.

The United States is supporting the Ampasindava rare-earths project in Madagascar as part of a broader effort to reduce dependence on rival nations for critical mineral supplies, according to the U.S. State Department.

The initiative reflects Washington’s strategy of diversifying sources of essential minerals currently dominated by China.

The project exemplifies a changing field in Africa’s critical minerals industry, in which Chinese firms have historically led investments in resources such as copper, cobalt, and lithium. Now, several major rare-earth projects across Africa are attracting financial and strategic backing from the United States and other Western partners.

Harena Rare Earths, the London-listed company developing the roughly $150 million Ampasindava project, announced last week that the U.S. International Development Finance Corp. (DFC) has committed up to $4.84 million to fund pilot plant operations, laboratory testing, and environmental initiatives. ...

Friends of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) gathered in South Carolina’s capital to remember the longtime member of Congress as a selfless statesman who loved America and his home state of South Carolina.

A day after memorial services honored Graham at the U.S. Capitol and Washington National Cathedral, family, friends, and others came together at his funeral at First Baptist Church in Columbia.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said that although the ceremony was a sad one, it was also a celebration of a man who came from humble beginnings growing up in South Carolina and went to the halls of Congress in the nation’s capital to make an impact on the state, the country, and the world.

“His impact was enormous, and I’m confident, as are you, that there will never be another Lindsey Graham,” he said.

Market Sentiment Toward US Dollar Reaches Highest Point Since 2015

From a strong U.S. economy to a restrictive Fed policy, the dollar is enjoying various tailwinds.

Investor bets on the U.S. dollar have climbed to their highest level in more than a decade, according to new Commodity Futures Trading Commission data.

The greenback has been the top-performing traditional safe-haven asset since the start of the war in Iran, outperforming gold, Treasury securities, and the Japanese yen. Its rally comes after last year’s post-election and tariff-fueled decline of around 10 percent.

Wall Street sentiment toward the greenback has shifted from bearish to bullish in recent months.

Long speculative positioning in the U.S. dollar among hedge funds and asset managers increased by about $43 billion for the week ending July 21, the highest in 15 years.

'Who the F**k Do You Think You Were?' Moreno Goes Thermonuclear on Fauci and His 'Dirtbag' Lawyer

Once it became obvious that Anthony Fauci wasn't going to be answering any questions at his Wednesday hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Republicans on the panel decided they'd go ahead and grill him anyway. And, since he was invoking the Fifth, he had to just sit there and take it.


Seeing him in an orange jumpsuit would be far preferable, of course, but for now we can enjoy watching him squirm.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a doctor himself who has clashed with Fauci many times in recent years, chaired the hearing and was the first to pepper Fauci with questions. Paul's questions centered on the full range of controversies that have dogged Fauci since the pandemic began, including whether his agency funded risky gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, what he knew about the possibility of a lab leak, and whether he helped steer scientists and the public toward the natural-origin theory despite having private doubts.

Fauci refused to address any of it.

Paul's shining moment of the day might have been when he kicked Fauci's attorney out of the hearing after the attorney attempted to hijack proceedings by sitting next to his client and trying to speak for him. It was a big "nope" from Sen. Paul.

When it came time for Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) to
question Fauci, he showed no mercy, kicking things off by asking, “Who the f–k do you think you were for doing that?” "That," of course, being Fauci's draconian COVID lockdown mandates that saw Americans being arrested for things like not wearing masks in public.


Moreno was irate – and he had a litany of grievances against Fauci that he delivered with blistering precision.


“If, during the time of the COVID pandemic, you were called the racist for calling the virus a ‘Wuhan virus’ or the ‘China virus’; if you thought the six-foot rule was total crap; if you thought the vaccine wasn’t something that you should take; if you thought it was outrageous the way the mass policy was rolled out; if you were fired from your job for not taking that vaccine, including members of the military; if you thought closing schools was catastrophically stupid … saying these things made you somehow a lesser human being,” Moreno said.


It's a thing of beauty. Watch:

Biden-Pardoned Fauci Now Faces Florida State Investigation

It seems Dr. Anthony Fauci, his rapid-fire invocations of the Fifth Amendment, presidential pardon and all, isn't out of the woods yet. Here at RedState and pretty much everywhere else in the known universe where people are following all this, we've noted that the pardon doesn't protect Dr. Fauci from charges at the state level.

And, the first state to take action on that possibility? Florida. The Sunshine State is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci and his
economy-crushing COVID-19 debacle.


After Wednesday morning’s congressional hearing with former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci where he declined to answer any questions and instead pleaded the Fifth Amendment, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced he is launching an investigation into Fauci.

“Fauci's lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable,” Uthmeier wrote on social media. “My office is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci. It's past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID.”

On the last day of his presidential term, former President Joe Biden granted Fauci a full and unconditional pardon for any offenses he may have “committed or taken part in” related to his governmental roles from Jan. 1, 2014, through Jan. 19, 2025, the day the pardon was signed.

The pardon protects Fauci from being prosecuted for any federal crimes he may have committed during that time period, but it does not protect him from state prosecutors.

Trump administration bans Chinese robot imports, citing national security threats

The Trump administration is banning Chinese robots in an effort to stem national security risks and help the domestic AI industry continue to grow.

The Federal Communications Commission
listed imports of new humanoid and quadruped robots from China — along with connected power inverters, which let the devices connect to the US grid — as verboten. They can no longer be imported, marketed or sold in the US.

“Advanced robotic devices collect data that could be leveraged by malign actors to surveil Americans, enhance the capabilities of foreign intelligence services, or to remotely commandeer the robots,” the White House said a Tuesday statement.

HHS Unveils Policy to End Funding for ‘Dangerous Gain-of-Function Research’

The policy will establish stricter oversight of certain life sciences research the government deems could pose significant risks to public health.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on July 28 unveiled a new policy that would end federal support for “dangerous gain-of-function research,” an experiment in which scientists genetically modify an organism to enhance its characteristics.

In a statement, HHS said the policy would prohibit federal funding for dangerous gain-of-function research conducted in the United States and abroad.

It would establish stricter oversight of certain life sciences research that the government deems could pose “significant risks” to public health, biosecurity, or national security. The policy would also restrict federal funding for research conducted in countries or institutions that lack sufficient biosafety and oversight standards, according to the department.
