The Shitshow Macro Weekly Prep Pod Mon 6.24.24 is out:

Domestic:
-Reports have started filtering out that AG Merrick Garland is calling members of Congress and telling them not to vote for his contempt of Congress charge.
--I’m pretty sure there’s a legal phrase for people doing that…nobody is above the law, right?

-NY Post reported last week that welfare offices in 49 states are handing out voter registration to illegal immigrants. Article link in the show notes.

-Online voting researchers posted a video and X post this weekend alleging to have tracked $1bn in Chinese NGO money going to the Chinese Progressive Association to be used in every swing state against Trump.
--If you’ve read Chaos Under Heaven by Josh Rogin or are one who tracks shadiness and foreign influence agents meddling in US elections, you’ve likely heard of that group. 
--Let’s remember that the Bill Clinton re-election campaign was caught receiving illegally bundled money from a Chinese intelligence Colonel - and nothing was done about it.
--Link to video in the show notes.

-If you’ve not heard of Alex Rosen and his Fight for Kids organization before (x.com/iFightForKids ), you should. I’ve been a fan of what he’s been doing for as long as I’ve known about it.
--He’s a former college football player who know tracks pedos, puts them on blast, and hands them over to law enforcement - although sometimes the LEOs, as recently happened in St. Louis, refuse to do anything about it.
--They posted a video this weekend catching the head of Maryland LGTBQ Dems, who has been very tied in with Democrats and was hosted by Kamela Harris this weekend, and was lured into thinking he was hooking up with a 14 year old.

-Similarly but different, Capitol Police officer Jared Michael Lemon, also of Maryland, was arrested this weekend by MD state police on 5 counts of possession of child porn. 

- SCOTUS released a handful of decisions at the end of the week, one of which was a finding that jury trials must be unanimous to convict. 
--As Trump’s “hush money” verdict was not unanimous - amidst many other issues which even former NY Gov Cuomo vocalized on Bill Maher last week - many are calling that his verdict must be overturned according to SCOTUS.

-Kash Patel dropped a bombshell last last week that former Speaker Paul Ryan had the Steele Dossier in his possession from the jump yet never told Devin Nunes, Kash, or the investigative team and allowed to Mueller shit show - after which every one of the investigators wiped their subpoenaed phones - to continue. 

-Rabobank - not exactly a political institution - is forecasting a Trump win in its latest economic analysis publishing. Link in the show notes.

War/Military:
-The Taliban has announced plans to send thousands of troops to aid Hezbollah against Israel’s planned offensive into Lebanon. IDF officials stated over the weekend they are planning on beginning in July.
--Note: Unlike the US foreign policy establishment, Israel often utilizes Sun Tzu-esque deception strategies, especially in its pronouncements. Expect something different to happen.

Also note: this Lebanon invasion news started after I’d written & posted the Reader Homework: Afghanistan 360 post. I’d suggest you read if you don’t understand why The Taliban & Hezzies are hooking up. Link will be in the show notes, and is of course on my Substack. 

-RUMINT: The Duran is reporting that Ukraine’s top general was essentially given one more shot at a successful offensive or else he will be replaced. Note: The Duran has been proven far more accurate far more often than any MSM since the early days of the RUS invasion. 

-On that note, news broke Sunday morning that UKR fired 4 ATACMS missiles at Crimea, including one at a crowded beach, killing 2 and injuring over 100 (based on RUS reports, so…grain of salt).
--3 were reported as downed, but “the one that got away” was the beach incident.
