1. TRUMP’S 2020 ELECTORS FULLY FREE FROM PROSECUTION AFTER MICHIGAN DA SURRENDERS – Michigan DA Dana Nessel has decided she will not pursue charges against 16 Trump electors from the 2020 election who attempted to claim they should be recognized as the real delegates because the election was stolen. The Trump electors were charged with election fraud, a charge that doesn’t stick, as a district court judge ruled, saying they were being charged for freedom of speech, not for committing fraud.

Now, after looking for ways to defy the district judge’s ruling, the DA has given up the fight. She claimed, “My office did not reach this decision lightly, though after a thorough assessment of the resources and time required to pursue justice in these cases, the pace and difficulty with which various courts have dealt with criminal violations of election law, and our likelihood of success given stringent appellate review standards, I have decided not to pursue an appeal.”

2. OIL REFINERY AND NUCLEAR POWER PLANT APPROVED IN SAME WEEK – President Trump is overseeing the return of American energy sovereignty through the construction of new oil refineries and nuclear power plants. The Biden administration had begun the process of reactivating nuclear energy by completing the construction of a nuclear power plant in George in 2024. It was the first nuclear reactor to be built in America in over 30 years.

Now, President Trump has overseen the approval of an oil refinery in Brownsville, Texas, and the construction of a first-of-its-kind nuclear reactor in Wyoming. The oil refinery is the first approved building of a new refinery in America in over 50 years. This same week, the nuclear power plant received its approval to build the nuclear reactor. With the need for energy for AI machines, nuclear power is sure to move to the fore of future energy planning, especially micro-reactors for individual AI machines.

3. NEPALESE ELECT FORMER RAPPER TO BE THEIR NEXT PM – The Gen Z revolution of Nepal has now culminated with a sweeping victory for a new party led by former rapper Balendra Shah. His party is set to replace the ruling party of the past few decades, the Communist Party of Nepal. Shah’s party has won super majorities in both the direct-vote seats of the parliament as well as the proportional representation seats. The Communist Party has fallen from majority party status to fringe 3^rd party status in this one election.
4. INDIANA LAW PREVENTS CHRISTIANS FROM BEING BANNED FROM ADOPTION AND FOSTER CARE – Republican Indiana Governor Mike Braun has officially signed into law a bill that will protect people of Faith from being excluded from adoption and foster care. The bill is primarily aimed at democrat-controlled local governments that are attempting to freeze Christians out of the adoption/foster care process because of their opposition to indulging children’s sexuality or gender fantasies.
5. PROGMERICAN JUDGE GETS APPEALS COURT REBUKE AFTER ATTEMPT TO BECOME CHICAGO’S SELF-APPOINTED IMMIGRATION CZAR – An Obama-appointed Judge, Sara Ellis, got a verbal beatdown from the 7^th Circuit Court of Appeals, accusing her of “effectively establish[ing]” herself “as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago.” The court shut down her effective effort to control the Federal Immigration policies for the city of Chicago and its surrounding communities.

Parts of her initial order included a requirement the DHS give her a daily brief of all their activities in the city, to assure compliance, They also include preventing federal agents from “using hands-on physical force such as pulling or shoving to the ground, tackling, or body slamming’ anyone who is not causing an immediate threat of physical harm to other…” It also ordered that anyone calling themselves a journalist should be allowed to stay in an area, even if a dispersal order is lawfully given.

6. TRUMP FORMS 17-NATION COALITION TO JOIN WAR AGAINST CARTELS – President Donald Trump announced the formation of a 17-nation pact committed to defeating the drug cartels in the Americas. The pact was announced at an event at Trump National Doral called “the Shield of the Americas summit.” These are the members of the coalition: Argentina, El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Belize. Notably missing from this list is Mexico, which is close to civil war thanks to the activity of the cartels in that country.
7. D.C. COURT STRIKES DOWN D.C. GUN LAW – The D.C. Federal Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 that Washington, D.C.’s ban on gun magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds was unconstitutional. Trump appointed Judge Joshua Deahl wrote in the judgment, “Magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition are ubiquitous in our country, numbering in the hundreds of millions, accounting for about half of the magazines in the hands of our citizenry, and they come standard with the most popular firearms sold in America today.”
8. FULTON COUNTY JUDGE RULES FANI WILLIS “WHOLLY DISQUALIFIED,” WILL HAVE NO SAY IN TRUMP LAWSUIT – President Trump’s efforts, along with his co-defendants, to win a civil lawsuit against Fani Willis’ Prosecutor’s Office, won’t be affected by Fani Willis herself. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled Fani Willis was “wholly disqualified” from being involved in this case at all, and therefore, she will not be allowed to participate in any capacity in the proceedings of the civil trial.
9. DEMS HATE ICE, THE COUNTRY HATES DEMS MORE – The Democrat Party hates ICE so much they regularly compare them to Nazis. With aid from the DNC’s agit prop machines (the corporate media), this Nazi narrative has MOST significantly eroded support for ICE. Though criminally exaggerated by the DNC media, in many instances, legitimate mistakes have been made by ICE which have also helped erode that support. The pressure on local communities due to the creation of deportation centers alone can take credit for much of that eroded support.

Despite all the DNC’s marketing advantages, however, the DNC is LESS popular with Americans than ICE is, with the Democrats hitting a 30% approval rating while ICE soars in comparison at 38%. There were 14 categories on the list; The Democrats finished ahead of only two, AI and Iran. President Trump and Pope Leo were tops with Trump at 41% and Leo at 42%. The poll was from NBC news.

10. IRANIAN WOMEN’S SOCCER PLAYERS SAVED FROM FACING DYING REGIME – Five of the Iranian national women’s soccer team players have been granted asylum in Australia. This comes after Australia originally signaled it would not grant the women asylum. President Trump put social media pressure on Australia, and even invited the women to the U.S. should Australia let them down.

The women were at risk of being killed when they got home after protesting the regime during a soccer match in Australia. The women refused to sing along with the country’s national anthem. Afterwards, eyewitnesses said they were hand signaling to people they needed to help. Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke declared on X, “Last night I was able to tell five women from the Iranian Women’s Soccer team that they are welcome to stay in Australia, to be safe and have a home here.”

11. APPEALS COURT STRIKES DOWN ORDER ENDING DEPORTATIONS TO “THIRD COUNTRIES” – After another Progmerican judge, District Judge Brian Murphy, attempted lawfare sabotage of Trump’s deportation program, a 3-panel appeals court paused that stay for full court review. Murphy ruled that the Trump administration could not deport illegals to “third countries.” The 3-judge panel ruled “after careful review” a temporary pause of the order “is appropriate.” They promised to follow up with a prompt ruling, which indicates the high probability the ruling will officially strike down the unconstitutional effort at lawfare sabotage by a Progmerican judge.
12. EEOC ENDS TRANS WOMEN IN FEDERAL SINGLE-SEX BATHROOMS – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity commission (EEOC) voted to reverse the Biden administration’s policy of allowing transgender women into women’s federal single-sex bathrooms. The commission voted 2-1 to affirm an appellate ruling nullifying the Biden administration’s use of Title VII to justify the policy change.

EEOC Chair Andrea Luca said of the decision, “Today’s opinion is consistent with the plain meaning of ‘sex’ as understood by Congress at the time Title VII was enacted, as well as longstanding civil rights principles: that similarly situated employees must be treated equally. When it comes to bathrooms, male and female employees are not similarly situated,” she added. “Biology is not bigotry.”
