No Gold - All China

Notice the different, sharper edges in this rendering of the 3d model. Takes 5min to ‘design’. The angle of the engraved love and gratitude is off. Super easy to cast, super cheap in China but even for their cheap crap standards this is about as low grade as it gets. Yet she calls it “an exquisite jewel“, the far opposite of reality, as typical.

You can look pimp daddy smooth with your gold vermeil ( aka Swapmeet gold ) , Temu gold spray painted sneakers … then get you some gold capped teef.

Get that MAGA ( Make America Gold Again ) look today !!!

Trump committee's spending on lawyers soars to $76 million, draining funds to fight Biden

A new campaign finance report shows the political committee covering a large portion of Donald Trump and allies' legal expenses across multiple court casesspent another $3.7 million on lawyers last month, and has now spent $76 million total on legal fees.

The presumptive Republican 2024 White House nominee is currently on criminal trial in New York City for charges stemming from alleged hush money payments to an adult film star to hide a sexual affair during his successful 2016 presidential campaign. Trump also is facing criminal charges in three other cases related to his handling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and has contended with multiple civil lawsuits.

Those legal cases have been incredibly costly, draining money Trump otherwise could use to challenge President Joe Biden.

Trump's leadership PAC, Save America, has handled much of the former president's legal expenses. A report that Save America filed with the Federal Election Commission this weekend shows the committee spent another $3.7 million in March on payments to more than a dozens law firms, including two firms associated with Trump’s top lawyers in the hush money case.


NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 22: Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media, flanked by lawyer Todd Blanche (R), after arriving for his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments at Manhattan Criminal Court on April 22, 2024 in New York City. Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records last year, which prosecutors say was an effort to hide a potential sex scandal, both before and after the 2016 presidential election. Donald Trump's unprecedented criminal trial is set for opening statements after final jury selection ended Friday.

Todd Blanche’s firm, Blanche Law, received $730,000 and Susan Necheles’ firm, Necheles Law LLP, received $415,000.

Save America also racked up another $886,000 in debt to three law firms. Most of that money, about $816,000, is owed to Robert & Robert PLLC. It owes another $50,000 to Blanche Law, and $20,000 to Level Law LTD.


While public records can’t say what, specifically, law firms are being paid to do, records show Save America has paid more than 70 different lawyers and law firms. Many of the firms are also listed in public court paperwork representing Trump in his civil and criminal cases.

The $76 million that Save America has spent on legal fees, according to a USA TODAY analysis, is an extraordinary sum that could hamstring Trump's efforts against Biden.

Monthly fundraising reports filed with the FEC over the weekend show Trump's main campaign account raised $15.3 million in March and has $45.1 million in cash on hand, while Biden raised $43.8 million and has $85.5 million in cash. The campaigns also raise funds through a variety of other committees.

Trump campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung called the legal cases against the former president "Witch-Hunts" and an abuse of power.

Conservatives aim their fire at Texas Republican after ‘scumbags’ comment
The battle between Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and the GOP’s right flank is heating up, with hard-line House conservatives throwing their support behind his primary opponent after the moderate Republican called two of them “scumbags” on national television. Gonzales kicked the hornet’s nest over the weekend when, during an interview on CNN, he went after Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Bob Good (R-Va.) — “it’s my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags” — launching personal attacks on the conservative duo.

“Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with them at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi,” Gonzales said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they’re walking around with white hoods in the daytime.”

Gaetz, who has denied the allegation, and Good — joined by other hard-liners — shot back at Gonzales, criticizing his voting record, slamming him as a “Republican in name only” and endorsing his primary opponent, Brandon Herrera, a social media influencer and self-proclaimed Second Amendment activist who has worked to plant himself to the right of Gonzales.

“It is not surprising that one of the most liberal RINOs in Congress, who has egregiously fought real border security, and votes like a Democrat, would resort to the Dem playbook in screaming ‘racism,’” Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, said of Gonzales in a post on the social platform X. “Thankfully, the people of the Texas 23rd District can vote for change and an America first patriot, in Brandon Herrera.”

Gaetz, who campaigned for Herrera in March and re-upped his support for him this week, gave Gonzales a new nickname Tuesday: “Turncoat Tony.”

The heightened Republican infighting comes as the May 28 runoff in Texas’s 23rd Congressional District inches closer, with Gonzales and Herrera set to go head-to-head for the GOP nomination. Gonzales, who was first elected to Congress in 2020, beat Herrera by 20 percentage points in the March primary, but his 45.1 percent share fell short of the 50 percent needed to advance straight to the general election.

Gonzales, to be sure, is no stranger to acrimony within the GOP ranks. Last year, the Texas Republican Party overwhelmingly voted to censure him over his votes in favor of a measure protecting same-sex marriage on the federal level, and for the bipartisan gun safety bill that moved through Congress after the school shooting in Uvalde, which is located in his district.

But the current bickering is bubbling up amid a moment of increased tension and division among Republicans on Capitol Hill, as hard-line conservatives try to stymie the GOP agenda through procedural roadblocks and threaten to force a vote on ousting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — all to the chagrin of moderates such as Gonzales.

Those dynamics were on full display last week when Johnson — after months of delay — put a package foreign aid bills on the floor, a perilous step in his Speakership that went against the wishes of his right flank. Hard-line Republicans refused to help advance the package in the Rules Committee and on the floor, forcing Democrats to step in and help move the legislation forward — a rare show of assistance from the minority party.

The move by Johnson prompted two more GOP lawmakers to get behind Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) effort to oust the Speaker, though it remains unclear when — or if — the Georgia Republican plans to trigger a vote on her motion to vacate resolution.

Moderates, meanwhile, are not hiding their displeasure with the hard-line tactics. “Members are tired. We’re exhausted. It has been a brutal Congress. But we’re also dug in,” Gonzales told CNN on Sunday. “For some reason, these fringe people think as if they have the high ground. They do not.” Conservatives, as a result, are now lining up against Gonzales and behind Herrera, upping the pressure on his reelection prospects and putting a spotlight on next month’s runoff race.

“This is such BS and so pathetic, especially from a fellow veteran. To insinuate that other members are klansmen because they call you out for being a complete and total Rhino,” Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) wrote on X in response to Gonzales’s CNN comments. “Wasn’t one of our core values Honor @TonyGonzales4TX? Hey Brandon, add me to your list of endorsements. We will never save the country with guys like Tony.” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) told The Hill he plans to formally endorse Herrera after he speaks to him.

The conservative offensive is both personal and political. Personally, Gonzales stirred up the drama over the weekend with his comments about Gaetz and Good, galvanizing hard-liners on Capitol Hill to defend their colleagues and try to topple the individual responsible for the attacks. But politically, Gonzales has found himself at odds with the right flank’s conservative agenda for months, emerging as a top target for hard-liners as they look to install more of their own in the House GOP ranks.

Most recently, Gonzales voted for all four parts of Johnson’s foreign aid package — including the Ukraine portion, even though it was not accompanied by strict border security measures, which Johnson had demanded until the eleventh hour. A number of conservatives opposed each of the four bills in the package because border security was left on the cutting room floor.

Before that, the Texas Republican voted against an amendment to add a warrant requirement to the U.S.’s spying powers — known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) — which a bloc of hard-liners were strongly in favor of. And last year, Gonzales criticized an early version of the GOP conference’s border bill as “unchristian.” “I cannot tolerate what’s happening to the people that I think are standing up for this country. To the people listening to this out there, just know: I’m not gonna back down. I’m gonna keep fighting for this country. The numbers are growing in D.C., but we’re not there yet, and the primary season matters,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said on local Texas radio Tuesday.

The conservative onslaught against Gonzales has also emerged as a proxy battle in the broader war between Johnson and his right flank. The Speaker appeared with Gonzales for a fundraiser Tuesday, a source familiar told The Hill, as part of a previously planned swing through Texas, an appearance that conservatives are taking note of.

“To have the Speaker be in San Antonio campaigning for Tony, when Tony voted against the warrant requirement, when the Speaker voted against the warrant requirement, when we had them both voting to fund this atrocity this last weekend,” Roy said. “I am just beside myself that that’s where things are.” “Today Mike Johnson is campaigning for Tony Gonzales,” Gaetz wrote on X. “What does this make you think about Tony Gonzales?”

Lara Trump says RNC will have people ‘who can physically handle’ ballots on Election Day
Republican National Committee (RNC) co-Chair Lara Trump said the national committee will have both poll watchers and people “who can physically handle ballots” on Election Day.

“We now have the ability at the RNC not just to have poll watchers — people standing in polling locations — but people who can physically handle the ballots,” Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Trump, told Eric Bolling in a Newsmax appearance on Tuesday.

The RNC and the Trump campaign last week announced an “election integrity program” of more than 100,000 volunteers and attorneys “deployed across every battleground state.”

“Whenever a ballot is being cast or counted, Republican poll watchers will be observing the process and reporting any irregularity,” the RNC said in a release.

Poll watchers, who typically observe the ballot-counting process and report any issues to authorities or officials, can’t touch ballots or machinery.

“So, there was a moratorium for about 40 years on the RNC actually training people to work in these polling locations and the tabulation centers where the mail-in ballots come in. And last year, the judge who implemented that passed away. So, that was lifted, and that gives us a great ability as we head into what I assume everyone understands is the most important election of our lifetime,” Lara Trump said.

The Hill reached out to the RNC for more on Lara Trump’s comments.

Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for 2024, has long touted false claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and rigged against him. Lara Trump, who was endorsed for her top RNC role by the former president, has said 2020 is “in the past” — but stressed earlier this month that the RNC is “leaving nothing to chance” in the fall.

“Having the right people to count the ballots is just as important as turning out voters on Election Day. Republicans are now working together to protect the vote and ensure a big win on November 5th!” the former president said of the program, per an RNC release.
