After SCOTUS ruled 5-4 that birthright citizenship means citizenship for anyone born on American soil, President Trump is hoping his pen can limit the damage the ruling has done to U.S. sovereignty.
President Trump stated, “We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright. It was close, but a very, very unfortunate decision. So we’re making adjustments because it’s very unfair. This was done right after the Civil War. This was for the babies of slaves, and what’s happening now? People are building businesses around it.”

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday cracking down on birth tourism and narrowing who qualifies for automatic birthright citizenship, responding to a Supreme Court ruling many conservatives view as having opened the door to abuse of the American immigration system.
The orders follow the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in June in Trump v. Barbara, which found birthright citizenship to be a constitutional right. Trump made clear Thursday he still disagrees. “We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright. It was close, but a very, very unfortunate decision. So we’re making adjustments because it’s very unfair,” he said, arguing the 14th Amendment was never meant to be exploited this way. “This was done right after the Civil War. This was for the babies of slaves, and what’s happening now? People are building businesses around it,” Trump said.
The first order identifies categories of children born to noncitizens who do not qualify for birthright citizenship, consistent with historical exceptions the Supreme Court itself recognized in Barbara. The second delegates authority to the secretaries of state and homeland security to shut down birth tourism outright.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said the crackdown rests on presidential authority under Section 215A of the Immigration and Nationality Act. “The idea that people come here pretending to be a tourist, pretending to be a visitor, saying they want to go to Disneyland, they want to go visit a monument or go to a national park, but the real reason they’re here is to have a child, to make that child an automatic citizen, leave our country, and then have a U.S. citizen child,” Miller said, warning the loophole “gives them access under this broken system to welfare benefits, ultimately to the voting booth, and all the other rights and privileges that belong solely to Americans.” He called the practice, as of the signing, “hereby banned.”
Miller ranked the order among Trump’s most consequential immigration actions. “I would put this in the top three in terms of importance because it ends what has been one of the gravest and most egregious abuses of the American system, and it keeps American citizenship sacred,” he said. The order also widens the categories of people ineligible for birthright citizenship, including “alien enemies of the United States, members of foreign terrorist organizations, and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments,” Miller said.
A poll commissioned by Concerned Women for America (CWA) shows 70% of Americans want mail-order abortion pills to stop. They want the pill to be prescribed by a doctor, under a doctor’s supervision. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche spoke on this issue during his Senate confirmation hearing. He stated, “We [the Department of Justice] are trying to let the FDA do their work so that we can work to protect the lives of the unborn children and, frankly, the states’ laws.”

According to podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey, phrases such as “abortion is health care,” “love is love,” and “no human being is illegal” are used to emotionally manipulate voters into having misplaced empathy.
But the days of toxic empathy may be over. According to a new poll commissioned by Concerned Women for America (CWA), voters are leaning towards common sense — taking a conservative stance on cultural issues as the midterm elections loom.
“The results here clearly show voters are supportive of a socially conservative agenda. For pro-lifers, in particular, the findings that almost 70% of voters agree with reinstating the FDA’s in-person requirement for dispensing the abortion drug, mifepristone, are encouraging,” Matt Carpenter, the director of FRC Action, told The Washington Stand.
The Federal Trade Commission is bringing a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). The organization is accused of misleading families to push harmful “gender transition therapies” to their children. This is the organization that coined the phrase, “Would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?” The case is now going to trial, meaning the internal communications of the child grooming and mutilating organization will have to turn over its internal communications records to the state.

No organization has done more to fuel the dramatic rise in transgender identification and gender-transition surgeries than the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the medical organization that developed the Standards of Care (SOCs) for gender-affirming treatments. Doctors, insurance companies, activists, politicians, and even judges have all cited and deferred to those SOCs as justification for prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries to children.
WPATH even popularized the line “Would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?” to manipulate parents into acquiescing to the euphemistically named “gender affirming care.”
Journalist Michael Shellenberger first exposed the organization in his “WPATH files,” which revealed the organization’s leaders to be ideologues rather than medical experts. The files, released in early 2024, showed that WPATH officials ignored evidence contradicting their claims that the treatments were safe and effective and pushed forward in advancing mutilating surgeries, even on young adolescents.
U.S. Manufacturing has shown an expansion that hasn’t been seen since 2022, right when the world was recovering from the Covid shutdowns. The Institute for Supply Management showed only one of its 16 industrial categories, chemical production, was contracting.

The U.S. manufacturing sector is expanding at the strongest pace in four years as output surges, firms add workers, and demand continues to grow, according to a key measure of factory health released Monday.
The Institute for Supply Management’s July barometer of U.S. manufacturing rose to 55.6, the highest since May 2022. This was the seventh consecutive month in which the sector’s reading came in above the threshold of 50 that separates growth from contraction. The reading was higher than economists had forecast.
The employment gauge indicated payroll growth for the first time since September 2023. New orders expanded for the seventh straight month. The measure of production rose to its best reading since late 2021.

A Michigan physician assistant (PA) who alleged she was fired after refusing to comply with hospital transgender policies because of her religious beliefs is receiving a $410,000 settlement in her wrongful termination lawsuit.
Valerie Kloosterman sued University of Michigan Health-West (UMHW) filed suit in 2022 after she was fired in August 2021, alleging the 200-bed suburban Grand Rapids teaching hospital was requiring her to go against her conscience as a Christian.
“All I wanted to do was provide the best care possible to my patients without being forced to violate my Christian beliefs,” Kloosterman said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
She was represented in the lawsuit by First Liberty Institute, which documented that Kloosterman had “received positive performance reviews throughout her employment before raising faith-based objections to mandatory gender identity training,” the news outlet reported.
The legal advocacy nonprofit reported she was terminated after requesting a religious accommodation from finishing training that “required her to affirm statements about gender identity that were in violation of her Christian faith.”
No effort was made to accommodate her, according to the institute which takes on civil rights cases to “reclaim religious freedom in America.”
According to Fox Digital’s report:
The lawsuit says University of Michigan Health-West officials called her to a meeting, where they disparaged her religious beliefs, called her “evil” and a “liar,” told her she could not bring her Christian beliefs into the workplace, and accused her of contributing to suicides among individuals with gender dysphoria.
