Good evening. It’s Friday, August 1.

The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first official legal probe into his conduct, The Post has reported.

Smith is the justice department lawyer who oversaw two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, one into Trump’s handling of classified documents, the other as to whether his actions on Jan. 6th, 2021, were an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases were dismissed.

An email reviewed by The Post states The Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities, has begun reviewing the former Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice. The email was written by Senior Counsel Charles Baldis at OSC.

 
 

President Trump said he will fire the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after the independent government agency reported weak jobs numbers for July and the preceding month.

Trump is turning his ire about poor jobs numbers on the number-crunchers.

In a statement, the BLS confirmed that commissioner Erika McEntarfer was “terminated” on Friday. It named longtime BLS official William Wiatrowski as the acting head of the agency.

House Republicans agreed Friday to postpone an Aug. 11 deposition by convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, hours after she was transferred to a low-security federal prison in Texas.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) denied requests from Maxwell’s lawyer David Oscar Markus to provide immunity in exchange for her testimony — but agreed to push the interview back until after the US Supreme Court considers an appeal of the disgraced socialite’s 2021 federal conviction.

Maxwell, 63, was moved from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee on Friday to a Bryan, Texas, facility dubbed “Club Fed” for its cushy accoutrements, as her lawyer still seeks avenues to overturn a 20-year sentence for the trafficking and abuse of dozens of minors — some as young as 14 years old.

A Miami jury decided that Elon Musk’s car company Tesla was partly responsible for a deadly crash in Florida involving its Autopilot driver assist technology and must pay the victims more than $200 million in damages.

The federal jury held that Tesla bore significant responsibility because its technology failed and that not all the blame can be put on a reckless driver, even one who admitted he was distracted by his cell phone before hitting a young couple out gazing at the stars. The decision comes as Musk seeks to convince Americans his cars are safe enough to drive on their own as he plans to roll out a driverless taxi service in several cities in the coming months.

The decision ends a four-year long case remarkable not just in its outcome but that it even made it to trial. Many similar cases against Tesla have been dismissed and, when that didn’t happen, settled by the company to avoid the spotlight of a trial.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is among those expected at a fundraiser President Trump is attending Friday at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, sources told CBS News.

The fundraiser for the pro-Trump super political action committee MAGA Inc. aims to raise about $25 million, one of the sources said.

One day prior to the event, Mr. Trump sent letters to pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, demanding they lower U.S. drug prices to more evenly match what other countries pay.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) confirmed Friday it will cease operations after Republicans in Congress eliminated $1.1 billion in federal funding for the organization, which has been a primary financial source for NPR and PBS.

“Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison said in a statement.

The organization notified employees that most staff positions would be eliminated by the end of the fiscal year on September 30.

The incidents are not isolated; woke is dying everywhere and mainstream advertising is one of the surest litmus tests. Though the culture war continues and requires eternal vigilance it’s safe to say that most Americans and even Europeans (save a tiny, shrill minority) are fed up with far-left deconstructionist insanity.

One blaring example of woke suicide is Jaguar. The car company, once marketed to affluent and successful men between 35-65 years of age, started to move away from older male buyers over a decade ago. In 2011 they launched a direct mail campaign targeting women, saying:

“We’ve woken up to the fact that there is a huge audience of powerful, wealthy women that want to be treated respectfully. We don’t want to forget our predominantly male audience, but design and luxury are our selling points and there are a lot of wealthy, powerful, empowered women that appeals to.”
