In another example of the left trying to destroy our system, a left-wing judge in Florida has ruled that illegal aliens and other noncitizens have voting “rights.”
The judge ruled against a state law that bars noncitizens from participating in voter registration drives.
Illegals and even legal noncitizens have NO right whatsoever to engage in our political system. It really is just that simple.
But leftists don’t care about laws and morality. They care only about increasing their power to coerce you to their will.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will reportedly lose a high-powered trio of top policy staffers barely six months into his speakership.
The influential advisers — Brittan Specht, Jason Yaworske, and Preston Hill — are leaving Johnson’s office at the end of May, Punchbowl News reported. Each of the three previously worked for then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
Johnson ascended to the top of House leadership without the existing policy, communication, and fundraising strategy as others who have spent years in leadership. The departure of such an experienced group is likely to sting, particularly as appropriations season kicks into high gear before the end-of-September deadline.
Once again, the White House has quietly “corrected” a slew of false statements by Biden in an official transcript of a Biden speech… and also once again the media is ignoring these “corrections.”
What other president would the media stand silent as a White House continually makes alterations to hide a president’s false statements on official transcripts?
100 years from now, someone will read these transcripts and have no idea how often Biden has lied in official speeches because the transcripts have been sanitized for the Democrat’s protection.
Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade with the 2022 Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Democrats have seized on reproductive rights as a topic that motivates voters, with an Alabama Supreme Court decision that declared embryos as children thrusting IVF into the spotlight earlier this year. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is looking to focus on these topics specifically, with votes on legislation that would force Senate Republicans to make a difficult decision regarding popular treatments, according to Axios.
Donald Trump’s legal troubles have made their way into a variety of courtrooms, including Aileen Cannon’s chambers in Florida. She is the Trump-appointed federal judge handling his case on charges related to possessing classified documents, and recently postponed his trial indefinitely. Today, she is hearing arguments over whether to dismiss his case, the Associated Press reports:
Prosecutors and defense lawyers in the classified documents case against the former president Donald Trump are due in court on Wednesday for the first time since the judge indefinitely postponed the trial earlier this month.
Polls show that 40% of voters in battleground states are either “not too satisfied” or “not at all satisfied” with the choice of Joe Biden or Donald Trump for president. But for Senate Democrats in competitive states, running with an incumbent president whose approval numbers are underwater is a crapshoot.
“If you go out there and do a focus group, the focus groups all say, ‘He’s 200 years old. You got to be kidding me.’ And the worst part about it is for unaffiliated voters or people that haven’t made up their mind, they look at this and say: ‘You have to be kidding us. These are our choices?’ And they indict us for not taking it seriously,” said a Democratic senator who requested anonymity.

The United States Supreme Court has refused to hear arguments in a challenge against Maryland’s anti-Second Amendment ban on so-called “assault weapons.”
The Supreme Court decided not to jump the line and rule on the case while a lower court is still considering it.
It was an expected ruling and the court did not elaborate on it.
The court is also considering whether to weigh in on a similar ban in Illinois, which is already being appealed.

The Daily Report is honoring those attorneys and judges who have made a remarkable difference in the legal profession.
Democratic state Sen. Brian Fernandez filed an ethics complaint against Republican Sens. Jake Hoffman and Anthony Kern, two of the so-called fake electors indicted by an Arizona grand jury.
“I think it’s really important for us to just take a step back and let the process happen,” Fernandez said after making that request. “They’ll still be senators and if they’re proven innocent, I think that they should be reinstated.”
Word began to spread Monday evening around dinnertime: A House bill would be going to the floor Tuesday morning, designed to stop a returning Trump administration from reinstating his 11th-hour attempt to set architectural standards for federal buildings.
The bill was defeated at the last minute by a network of activists and sympathetic politicians but represented a broader shift in D.C. political strategy: As concerns mount that President Joe Biden might lose re-election, Democrats in the White House and Congress have worked to sabotage and hamstring a returning Donald Trump on issues from immigration and foreign policy to spending and classical architecture.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) will soon decide whether they will issue arrest warrants for the leaders of Israel who have led the campaign to return the hostages taken on October 7th and bring the murderous leaders of Hamas to justice.
If it seems ironic that a court of justice would condemn these leaders, don’t worry. Our heads are still spinning too. There is at least one person, however, who presumably isn’t surprised by this outrage: Donald Trump.
Trump is now 2-for-2 on warning the world about corrupt entities that have played a huge role in stoking the fire during the Israel-Gaza conflict that erupted after Oct. 7.
In a rare moment of candor, the FBI admitted it is “standard protocol” to entrap their opponents and try to kill them in unannounced raids.
“The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants,” the brown shirts said, regarding news that they were prepared to use deadly force in their illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago.
You’d be forgiven for not knowing they always have a combat medic at the scene when they send the Gestapo out to seize papers, except, of course, if they’re kept in an unlocked garage behind a corvette. Then they don’t send anybody at all.
Veteran Democrat political strategist James Carville has blasted President Joe Biden for complaining about his media coverage.
Appearing on Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show, the former Bill Clinton advisor warned that Biden’s “age issue is suffocating him.”
“I do think the president has to deal, the age issue is suffocating him,” Carville told Psaki in response to a question about how Biden and President Donald Trump could possibly be tied in the polls.
“He needs to bring up that he is only four years older than Trump.”
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) announced on Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with a skull tumor and will undergo surgery to have it removed.
Murphy, a doctor himself, said he has the “utmost faith in my physicians and surgeons” to remove the tumor, which is called a pituitary macroadenoma. Though it is thought to be benign, the size and “subsequent ability to affect vital structures” of the brain requires surgical removal, the North Carolina congressman said.
“As a physician I have, for the last 30 years, taken care of thousands and thousands of patients. It is now my turn to be one,” Murphy said in an email.
“The prognosis is excellent, and I hope to be back to work full-time soon,” Murphy continued. “I am, as are all things, in the hands of God and am at absolute peace. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers and hope everyone understands our desire for privacy at this time.”
Pennsylvania’s State Department issued a directive in 2018 that may allow noncitizens and other ineligible applicants to register to vote in violation of the 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA), according to a complaint brought by America First Legal (AFL) and obtained first by The Federalist.
HAVA requires a voter to provide a valid driver’s license number — or, if and only if he has no driver’s license, the last four digits of his Social Security number — on his voter registration form. Election officials are then required to confirm whether the numbers provided are valid by checking them against state and federal databases. The system is meant to ensure that prospective voters are eligible. (Notably, foreign nationals can still obtain a Social Security number or driver’s license.)
Surveillance cameras and barbed wire obscure the American flag.
In the famous Greek myth, Pandora, the first woman on Earth, is given a box by the gods and told to keep it closed no matter what. However, overcome by curiosity, she eventually succumbs and opens the box, releasing all the evils and miseries of the world into the human realm.
Such has been the path of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a Pandora’s box of nearly limitless surveillance capabilities opened in 1978, which has only grown in its abuse and was reauthorized by Congress last month.
Illegal aliens are admitting that they are rushing to cross the border into the United States before the critical November presidential election.
Many say they are hoping to take advantage of Democrat President Joe Biden’s open border policies as they fear he will lose re-election.
Illegal border crossers told New York Post reporter Jennie Taer that they fear President Donald Trump will secure the Southern Border if elected in November.
After illegally crossing the Arizona border last week, two migrants from Colombia told Taer that they were concerned about the outcome of the upcoming general election.
President Joe Biden, aiming to highlight his legislative accomplishments this election year, traveled to New Hampshire on Tuesday to discuss how he’s helped military veterans get benefits as a result of burn pit or other toxic exposure during their service.
“We can never fully thank you for all the sacrifices you’ve made,” Biden said to the veterans and their families gathered at a YMCA. “In America, we leave no veteran behind. That’s our motto.”
In raw numbers, more than 1 million claims have been granted to veterans since Biden signed the so-called PACT Act into law in August 2022, the administration said Tuesday. That amounts to about 888,000 veterans and survivors in all 50 states who have been able to receive disability benefits under the law.
House GOP leaders will begin whipping their Republican members on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt this week, according to two Republicans familiar with the matter, amid some skepticism they can get the near-unanimity required to pass it on the floor.
With Republicans expecting no help from Democrats, Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) is expected to begin gauging if they can keep intra-party opposition to near zero, according to the two Republicans, who spoke on condition of anonymity. One of those Republicans said the whip effort could begin as early as Wednesday.
Two contempt resolutions against Garland passed out of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees on a partisan basis last week, leading to a highly contentious hearing in the latter panel last Thursday that involved name-calling and alleged drinking.
Joe Biden may be the biggest embarrassment to the executive office in US history.
The installed commander-in-chief traveled to Nashua, New Hampshire on Tuesday to sell his legislative accomplishment this election year.
While discussing the impact of the PACT Act, a law that helps veterans receive benefits for toxic exposure during their service, Biden went on a tangent offering his supporters marital advice.
“And by the way,” Biden said. “I say to every young man thinking of getting married, marry into a family with five or more daughters. I did. My wife’s the oldest of five sisters.”
Nearly 50 House Democrats called on Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. to recuse himself from Jan. 6-related cases Tuesday, questioning whether the jurist could be impartial after an upside-down flag flew at his home in the weeks after the U.S. Capitol attack in 2021.
Rep. Hank Johnson (Ga.), the ranking Democrat on the HouseJudiciary Committee, and 44 other lawmakers signed a letter to Alito noting that the upside-down flag — long used as a sign of distress, especially by the U.S. military — has become a symbol of the “Stop the Steal” movement that falsely claims the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
ATLANTA — Georgia’s elections on Tuesday included a state Supreme Court race that saw the incumbent win in a race unusually heated by the standards of the state’s nonpartisan judicial elections, as well as a five-way GOP primary for an open seat in the strongly Republican 3rd Congressional District south and west of Atlanta.
Two Democratic congressional incumbents — U.S. Reps. David Scott and Lucy McBath — defeated primary challengers in metro Atlanta districts that were redrawn by Republicans after redistricting lawsuits.
Parties were also choosing their nominees for other congressional and state legislative seats and local offices including sheriffs, district attorneys and county commissioners.
ON WGAL NEWS EIGHT AT NOON STARTS NOW. BOTH SIDES HAVE NOW RESTED IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL OF DONALD TRUMP IN NEW YORK. WHEN THE JURY MAY GET THE CASE, THE CITY OF YORK WANTS TO REGULATE GHOST GUNS. WHAT’S BEING PROPOSED? A CRASH IN HARRISBURG CAUSES TRAFFIC PROBLEMS IN THE MORNING. GOOD AFTERNOON. I’M SUSAN SHAPIRO. THAT BREAKING NEWS? THE DEFENSE HAS NOW RESTED IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. TRUMP DID NOT TAKE THE STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE OF ACCUSATIONS THAT HE PAID A — STAR. HUSH MONEY TO KEEP AN ALLEGED SEXUAL ENCOUNTER SECRET. PROSECUTORS RESTED THEIR CASE YESTERDAY.
YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM)– York City council voted on a “ghost gun” bill at Tuesday’s meeting.
It was unanimous yes vote, meaning the bill passed and it now heads to to the mayor’s desk.
“Ghost guns” are unregistered and untraceable homemade weapons. It can be made with a 3D printer or 80% ghost gun build kits can be purchased online.
If the mayor signs it, the ordinance will go into effect in 20 days later, prohibiting the possession, use, transfer or manufacturing of ghost guns and establishing penalties. Anyone who violates the ordinance could be fined anywhere from $300 to $1,000, plus, costs of prosecution for each offense.
House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is demanding the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York to recuse himself from the case over allegations his daughter is using the indictment for financial gain.
In an ethics complaint submitted to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct on Tuesday, Stefanik is urging Judge Juan Merchan to step down from the case over allegations his daughter is leveraging the trial to make money through her fundraising agency. The complaint comes as other House Republicans have also targeted Merchan over his daughter’s politics, deeming it a conflict of interest.
“Judge Merchan currently presides over the criminal case against President Donald J. Trump brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg,” Stefanik wrote in the complaint. “If convicted, President Trump faces a maximum of 136 years’ imprisonment. Moreover, he is the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party for this November’s presidential election. As such, not only are President Trump’s interests at stake, the interests of all Americans are at stake.”
Republican cowards anonymously going after him in the media on the matter need to sit down.
There are plenty of things that warrant criticism levied at Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (e.g. Ukraine aid with no border security).
But his visual display of support at former President Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan isn’t one of those things.
And yet, three feckless GOP lawmakers ran to The Hill over the weekend to chastise him for the show of force. Why? Because they’re concerned the party might have to cede the higher ground on family values.
The Biden administration is threatening to sue yet another Republican-led state over its efforts to crack down on illegal immigration — after suing two other states over their respective anti-illegal immigration bills.
The Department of Justice has written to Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and Attorney General Gentner Drummond about HB 4156 — legislation that makes it a state crime to be in the state illegally and gives local law enforcement the ability to arrest illegal immigrants, and require them to leave the state within 72 hours following conviction or release from custody.
The law was signed by Stitt this month and is due to go into force on July 1. It is similar to laws passed and signed into law in Iowa and Texas — and those laws have subsequently both been hit by lawsuits from the DOJ, which argues that it infringes on federal authority over immigration law and enforcement. The Texas law is currently on hold amid the ongoing lawsuit there.
