A Harvard University law student who was charged with two misdemeanors after accosting an Israeli classmate last October has now landed a job in Washington, D.C.’s public defender’s office.

The student, identified in a Washington Free Beacon report as Harvard Law Review editor Ibrahim Bharmal, has landed an immigration law clerkship with the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, according to a LinkedIn post. Bharmal and divinity school graduate student Elom Tettey-Tamaklo were each charged with two misdemeanors on May 19 stemming from their conduct at an Oct. 18 “die-in” protest held outside Harvard Business School. Bharmal and Tettey-Tamaklo were captured on camera accosting a first-year Israeli business school student, surrounding the student and making it difficult for him to walk freely, as keffiyeh-clad onlookers shouted, “SHAME!”

All over the country, the left has painted crosswalks with the colors of the pride flag because of trans rights or something. However, no one informed progressives that roads tend to get tire marks because cars drive on them. But even though trie marks were never considered a hate crime before 2024, they currently are and now we have this story for you.

Huntington, WV just unveiled its new pride crosswalk that features a rainbow diamond. Although it’s a little more original than all the other basic crosswalks, it’s still stupid, and cities need to stop painting roads promoting their wokeness, especially because they don’t like cars driving on them.

As previously mentioned, cars drive on the road. Subsequently, tire marks are a thing. And now an activist is crying because even though this isn’t “permanent damage” this is still considered “bullying.”

President Biden promised to put the full weight of the federal government behind getting the Port of Baltimore reopened after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed, and just 11 weeks later, the port is fully reopened.

The President responded to the news that the port is fully reopened in a statement:

I made clear that my Administration would move heaven and earth to reopen the Port of Baltimore – one of our nation’s largest shipping hubs. Today, thanks to the tireless work by the men and women in the Unified Command, the full navigation channel is now open to all vessel traffic, allowing a full return of commerce to the Port of Baltimore.

Within minutes of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, the U.S. Coast Guard arrived on the scene. They established a Unified Command the same day to support rescue and recovery operations, and worked with the Army Corps of Engineers around the clock to remove the wreckage from the channel. My Departments of Transportation and Labor and the Small Business Administration worked hand-in-hand with federal and state partners to limit supply chain impacts and keep costs down for Americans, and to support impacted workers and small businesses. I want to thank Governor Moore for his steadfast leadership, Mayor Scott, County Executive Olszewski, and the Maryland congressional delegation. The partnership between federal, state, and local governments, labor leaders like the longshoremen who keep this hub running, and the business community shows what we can get done when we work together.

The Tampa Police Department will be sporting rainbow-colored “Pride” badges during what some refer to as “Pride Month,” a month to either reassert homo-trans-non-binary power over heteronormative culture or “celebrate” our diverse sexual and gender preferences. The badge will also be celebrating the pride of being non-white in what is surely not a violation of basic Civil Rights law.

Would a police officer sporting a rainbow “pride” badge rather than the official Tampa Police Department badge be more or less likely to be respected by criminals?

The Florida city’s police department has introduced a new commemorative badge design for LGBT “Pride Month” and shared a video highlighting the symbolism behind the updated badge.

The new badge incorporates the colors and chevron design of the “Progress Pride” flag, which was created in 2018. The chevron added to the rainbow design represents “people of color and the transgender community,” according to Patch.

The Tampa Police Department showed off its new fashion statement in a video posted on social media on Thursday.

“Incorporating the Progress Pride Flag, this badge is 1 of 9 that members can choose to collect or wear in June,” the X post said. “Serving as a conversation starter & symbol of safety, we’re here to listen, learn, and ensure all members of our community feel included, safe, and respected.”

A coalition of medical professionals called the American College of Pediatricians issued a declaration called the “Doctors Protecting Children Declaration” demanding medical professionals stop recommending and using puberty blockers to “help” children who claim they are transgendered transition to their preferred gender.

ACP Executive Director Dr. Jill Simmons said, “It is time that these American medical institutions follow the science and the lead of our European professional colleagues and cease to promote protocols that harm children, including the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.”

At a June 6 press conference in the nation’s capital, the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) announced the Doctors Protecting Children Declaration, which implores the American Academy of Pediatrics, Endocrine Society, Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, American Psychological Association, and American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry to “adhere to evidence-based research and utilize comprehensive evaluations and therapies for youth with gender dysphoria” in light of “recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH (the World Professional Association for Transgender Health) and its followers in the United States.”

The signatories urge establishment medical associations to “follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex” and return to “identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria.”

66 percent of Americans who participated in a University of Chicago survey indicated they do not support transgender “women,” men now seeking to pass as women, playing in women’s sports. On the flip side, the survey also shows 54 percent of Americans also support schools not telling parents if their children decided they were transgendered or non-binary.

U. Chicago survey: Two-thirds of U.S. adults oppose transgender females in women’s sports

A new survey out of the University of Chicago shows that two-thirds of American adults are against transgender females competing with biological females in women’s sporting events.

Specifically, a big majority in the NORC at U. Chicago poll (formerly known as the National Opinion Research Center) said trans-females should “never” or “in rare cases” get to compete against “cisgender” women, according to the New York Post.

The figure applies almost equally to transgender girls as to transgender women…

— A majority of respondents (54 percent) said if a student comes out as transgender or non-binary, schools should “not tell the parents except in rare circumstances” or not tell parents at all.

Audrey Hale, the trans mass shooter who killed three children and three adults at a Christian school in Nashville Tennessee on March 27, 2023, left behind a journal that reveals she had fallen under the spell of anti-white woke indoctrination.

The central tenet of wokeness that creates all their power is white people invented evil and now we mist rid the world of everything remotely associated with white people, we must purge the land of “whiteness.” Audrey Hale wrote in her journal “No brown girls, no love. I am nothing. Brown love is the most beautiful kind,” and that she thought of herself as being a “white nothingness.” She wrote that even though she knew her parents worked hard to give her a place to live, she still felt bad being born to white parents.

It has been revealed that trans school shooter Audrey Hale wrote in her journal about a romantic desire for “brown girls,” and referred to herself as “white nothingness.” Hale, who murdered three children and three adults at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee on March 27, 2023, repeatedly suggested that her life was without meaning, and that nobody would remember her when she died.

These are just the latest findings in Hale’s private writings, which were uncovered by investigators following the shooting and later obtained by the Tennessee Star via a Freedom of Information Act request. They have helped expose what the killer was thinking in the months before she carried out the gruesome attack.

According to the Star, on February 7 Hale wrote “white nothingness” in capital letters in her journal, adding arrows pointing to a paragraph in which she discussed her life. “My parents aren’t rich,” she wrote. “They work hard for money so I didn’t end up homeless. Yet I still feel bad.” Further down the page, the word “brain” was connected to the ideas of white privilege and embarrassment, with Hale referring to herself as “no one.”

In one entry, she wrote, “No brown girls, no love. I am nothing. Brown love is the most beautiful kind.” She repeatedly wrote about Sydney Sims, a black former classmate who passed away in 2022, suggesting that the two could be together in the afterlife.

“White nothingness” appeared in other places, one time it was at the end of a rant about how she believed, “No one will think my life meant something after I die.” After suggesting that no one would notice if she was gone, Hale signed the entry with the name Aiden, which she had chosen to go by after identifying as transgender.

At a part of the journal, Hale said she was “nothing” and declared she was the “most unhappy boy alive” and added, “I will be of no use of love for any girl if I don’t have what they need: boy’s body / male gender.”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released a report that shows 637,000 non-Americans are working in America during a period of time when 300,000 Americans lost their jobs. Economist E.J. Antoni is also claiming native-born jobs are still millions below pre-pandemic levels while foreign-born jobs have increased by millions since Feb. 2020.

Antoni stated, “No wonder Americans view economy so terribly: they aren’t the ones [with] the jobs; native-born employment is not only millions below pre-pandemic trend, but even below pre-pandemic level, while millions more foreign workers are employed today than Feb ’20, and back to trend.”

A new report finds that Joe Biden’s “great jobs” have mostly gone to illegal aliens and more illegals have gotten jobs than American citizens.

The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report released last week told us that there are 637,000 non-American citizen workers in the country. Yet nearly 300,000 native-born Americans lost their jobs during the most recent period.

Pere Townhall:

Economist E.J. Antoni told The Federalist that the government has added a significant amount of jobs that are primarily only held by foreign-born workers, leaving Americans struggling to look for jobs.

While the Biden administration continues to deny that its “building electrification” agenda will lead to gas stoves being banned in the name of allegedly saving the planet from man-made climate change, experts continue to raise the red flag.

Dan Kish, a senior research fellow for the Institute for Energy Research, is warning the public that the administration’s claims are false. He told Daily Caller, “The whole ‘building electrification’ effort is part of the centralized control impulse of people who gravitate to government or stand to cash in on the latest fad, irrespective of its costs or impacts on regular Americans. It’s also part of the ‘electrify everything’ agenda of planners and masterminds. The U.S. established a Constitutional Republic to limit government control, and yet control freaks want to tell us how to live by expanding the government’s reach.”

The Biden administration contends that it is not targeting gas stoves and other domestic conveniences afforded by fossil fuels, but its “building electrification” agenda is poised to effectively do just that, several energy policy experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The notion that the federal government would like to ban gas stoves is a “myth” and “misinformation,” according to the Department of Energy (DOE), which uploaded the blog post in May 2023 after Consumer Product Safety Commission Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. suggested that a gas stove ban is “on the table” in a January 2023 Bloomberg interview. However, the administration is also working to advance its “building electrification” agenda that would bring about similar outcomes under a different name, energy policy experts told the DCNF.

The FBI revoked the security clearance of an employee after asking colleagues questions–under threat of discipline–about his support for former President Donald Trump and views on the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a complaint to the Justice Department’s internal watchdog.

The employee attended the rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington before it turned into a riot, and reported his presence to the FBI the next day, according to the whistleblower advocacy group Empower Oversight, which issued a complaint to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on June 8, in a letter made public Monday night with the client’s name blacked out.

The complaint comes on the heels of the FBI reinstating the security clearance of whistleblower Marcus Allen, a former FBI staff operations specialist, after allegations of politicized retaliation.

The national average of polls reveals the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee’s avatar, Joe Biden, has seen his approval rating hit an all-time low of 37.4 percent. FiveThirtyEight has been compiling the average approval rating of polls since Biden took office.

Nate Silver, FiveThirtyEight’s founder, said of the results, “But Biden just hit a new all-time low in approval (37.4%) at 538 yesterday. Dropping out would be a big risk. But there’s some threshold below which continuing to run is a bigger risk. Are we there yet? I don’t know. But it’s more than fair to ask.”

Prominent FiveThirtyEight pollster Nate Silver posed a foreboding question for Democrats on Monday.

The question came on the heels of a devastating revelation for President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.

The president just reached a new all-time low in approval. According to FiveThirtyEight’s average of national polls, Biden’s approval rating stands at a mere 37.6 percent.

This prompted Silver’s foreboding question.

“… Biden just hit a new all-time low in approval (37.4%) at 538 yesterday. Dropping out would be a big risk. But there’s some threshold below which continuing to run is a bigger risk. Are we there yet?” Silver wrote.

“I don’t know. But it’s more than fair to ask.”

Silver also pointed out that if projections hold, former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, will top the incumbent Democrat by seven points.

Will Biden be the Democratic nominee in November?

Trump’s current approval rating stands at 41.6 percent according to FiveThirtyEight.

According to a May 30 report from NPR, one of the biggest advantages Biden had in the 2020 election — young voters — appears to be slipping away.

According to 2020 exit polls cited by the outlet, Biden won voters age 18-29 by over 20 points and voters under 45 by 14 points.

Both once-wide leads have been nearly decimated as of May.

Biden’s 14-point lead with voters under 45 years old has been cut to just four points.

With Gen-Z and Millennials, Biden only leads by six points.

But that’s all before you introduce the independent and third-party candidates.

With independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West and Green Party candidate Jill Stein in the mix, Trump actually leads the Gen-Z/Millennial vote by six points and those under 45 by eight points.

Since this polling took place, the Libertarian party nominated its own candidate, Chase Oliver.

Oliver, a pro-LGBT candidate who went viral for previously defending drag queen story hour shortly after his nomination, plans to target “young voters angry about the Israel-Hamas war on college campuses, Twitch and TikTok,” according to Politico.

Should these strategies result in more young votes being pulled away from Democrats than Republicans, Trump’s lead among young voters could grow even wider come election day.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?

A YouGov Presidential Election poll reveals 84 percent of Americans believe 4 more years of a Biden presidency will make their families worse off than if he weren’t re-elected. It could indicate for some, Democrats specifically, they might very want things to get worse for all of us in their effort to overthrow the republic and replace it with a one-party state.

Raheem Kassam joined Steve Bannon on Monday morning to discuss the latest YouGov presidential election poll.

Raheem scoured the latest poll and found this shocking nugget in the cross tabs: 84% of Americans believe they will be worse off under a second Joe Biden term.

That means EVEN DEMOCRATS know life will suck under a second Biden term!

Steve Bannon: Democrats are in trouble. You’re never going to see Tester or Sherrod Brown or these guys on a stage with Joe Biden because he is the cooler, brother. Your thoughts?

Raheem Kassam: Yeah, so it absolutely is showing up in the US numbers as well now. These numbers, by the way, are getting buried by the corporate media when they report these things out. At the National Pulse, we have an analysis up this morning about some of the most critical numbers in the YouGOve and CBS poll, a 2,000-person poll, with a 3.2% margin of error. In that, 84% of Americans, likely voters, have said that they expect to be worse off under a second Biden term. That is to say that they expect it financially, things to either get worse or stay on the same downward trajectory as they are currently. 84% of Americans! These are unprecedented, depressive numbers that are going towards the… And they are totally, totally an indictment of Joe Biden and his economic campaign.

Donald J Trump raised over $400 million for his re-election campaign after he was convicted of 34 felony counts in what appears to be a kangaroo court proceeding designed to produce a conviction, by any means necessary. Following that success, Trump has added $12 million in a weekend haul following a fundraiser in the heart of leftist power, Silicon Valley.

Last week after the sham guilty verdict came down in New York City, Trump announced that he had raised a staggering $400 million.

This week, during a one night event in Silicon Valley, hosted by entrepreneur David Sacks, Trump raised another $12 million – in just one night.

The fact that people in blue Silicon Valley are stepping up to support Trump, post-NYC verdict, shows that the political narrative has shifted. No one could have imagined Trump getting this kind of support in such a blue area four years ago.

Breitbart News reported:

Former President Donald Trump raised $12 million at a Silicon Valley fundraiser in deep blue state California on Thursday, according to a member of the California Republican National Committee.

It was the first fundraiser since Trump’s conviction last week, illustrating the former president’s ability to raise funds and garner support despite Democrats’ best efforts to label him a “convicted felon” and hurt his candidacy…

So far, the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has failed to deliver any indictments or even Presidential impeachments during his impeachment inquiry. Now, Comer is telling critics more is to come and “accountability” to the Biden family will soon be here.

Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has warned that Democrat President Joe Biden will soon face “accountability.”

Comer, the House GOP’s lead impeachment investigator, told Fox News that a report on Biden’s “many crimes” is forthcoming.

“I think that it’s no secret that Joe Biden’s committed many crimes, and I think that you’re going to see a report very soon.

“That report is imminent,” Comer said.

Republicans have cited a large body of circumstantial evidence to place Biden at the center of an influence peddling, bribery, and money laundering scheme.

The alleged scheme involves the president’s son Hunter Biden and clients in countries like China and Ukraine.

Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo pressed Comer on whether Republicans will formally recommend the prosecution of Joe Biden.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon rejected Donald Trump’s plea to dismiss charges, but she did remove a part of the indictment claiming Trump showed a military map to an unauthorized person, adding that it was inappropriate for special counsel Jack Smith to even list it.

Cannon stated, “The identified deficiencies, even if generating some arguable confusion, are either permitted by law, raise evidentiary challenges not appropriate for disposition at this juncture, and/or do not require dismissal even if technically deficient, so long as the jury is instructed appropriately and presented with adequate verdict forms as to each Defendants’ alleged conduct.

Having reviewed these arguments in their totality and carefully considered the Superseding Indictment as a whole, the Court agrees that much of the language in the Superseding Indictment is legally unnecessary to serve the function of an indictment as explained in the foregoing caselaw. The Court also notes the risks that can flow from a prosecutor’s decision to include in a charging document an extensive narrative account of his or her view of the facts, especially in cases of significant public interest.”

The federal judge overseeing the trial of former President Donald Trump on charges of mishandling classified documents on Monday rejected a bid from Trump’s lawyers to have multiple charges dismissed.

U.S. District Judge Alieen Cannon did, however, strike one part of the indictment against Trump that claimed he showed a military map to a former aide who did not have sufficient clearance to view it, according to the Washington Examiner.

In her ruling in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Cannon took a sour tone concerning the indictment brought by special counsel Jack Smith but said most of the claims from Trump did not rise to the level of tossing out the charges against him.

“The identified deficiencies, even if generating some arguable confusion, are either permitted by law, raise evidentiary challenges not appropriate for disposition at this juncture, and/or do not require dismissal even if technically deficient, so long as the jury is instructed appropriately and presented with adequate verdict forms as to each Defendants’ alleged conduct,” she wrote.

House Republicans have released a video of Nancy Pelosi recorded on January 6, 2021, which reveals Pelosi was the one who decided not to active the National Guard ahead of the planned protest of the mass mailer election by American citizens.

Pelosi can be heard on video, saying “We have responsibility, Terri,” Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to her chief of staff, Terri McCullough. “We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous…You’re going to ask me – in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff – ‘should we call the Capitol Police, I mean the National Guard?’ Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?… No, that’s not a question of how they had (resources) … they don’t know.

House Republicans say newly obtained footage of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on January 6 undermines a years-old narrative about the security failures on Jan. 6.

The video, taken by Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra as she’s being led away from the Capitol, was obtained by House Republicans from HBO. Alexandra had helped the network with a documentary about the J6 riot, but the full clip was not released until Monday.

Pelosi can be heard saying “I take responsibility” for the security failures.

“We have responsibility, Terri,” Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to her chief of staff, Terri McCullough. “We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.”

McCullough, replied as the speaker’s SUV raced through an underground parking garage: “They thought that they had sufficient … resources.”

Canada’s National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) has issued a report that claims members of Parliament are engaging in acts of treason by assisting foreign governments in interfering with national elections, including past elections in 2019 and 2021. The report was heavily redacted, not revealing the names of the members.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said, “The national security committee indicates there are members of this House that have knowingly worked for foreign hostile governments. Canadians have a right to know who and what is the information — who are they?”

The Canadian Parliament is in the grip of dramatic allegations from a national security committee that some lawmakers assisted a foreign government in interfering in the 2019 and 2021 elections.

The bombshell report gives few details. No names have been named, no party singled out. But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is refusing to fill in the blanks, leading to wild speculation that it is his party that’s involved in treason.

The heavily redacted, 92-page report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) is a separate investigation from an inquiry into election interference by foreign powers in those elections.

“The national security committee indicates there are members of this House that have knowingly worked for foreign hostile governments,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday. “Canadians have a right to know who and what is the information — who are they?”

The NSICOP said it reviewed intelligence that suggests “semi-witting or witting” members of Parliament have worked with foreign countries, “to mobilize voters during a political campaign; have taken cash ‘knowingly or through willful blindness’ from foreign missions or their proxies; and have shared privileged information with foreign diplomatic officials.”

Yeah, treason.

Politico:

One of the most damaging lines in Monday’s report points out Canada’s failure to address long-standing challenges in how national security information can be used in criminal proceedings. The report says this is one reason why criminal charges for the potentially illegal activities are unlikely.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters Tuesday that she takes the issue seriously. She deflected when asked if Canadians have the right to know the identity of the parliamentarians involved.

“We should recognize this is a new time,” she said, adding that authoritarians want to undermine democracies by sowing public distrust in government.

 

Freeland will not commit to releasing any names. Evidently, “transparency” is something reserved for members of the Conservative Party.

Justice Marie-Josée Hogue is conducting the parallel investigation into foreign interference in Canadian elections. Her commission is investigating “claims that the Chinese government helped mobilize voters against a Conservative candidate in western Canada and helped elect another as a Liberal in the Toronto area,” according to Politico.

Which members of Parliament are assisting foreign governments in interfering in elections?

“We all know that no responsible government would reveal names under these types of confidential circumstances,” Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc responded on the floor of the House of Commons.

Do we all know that?

“It’s important for Canadians to understand that these names are contained in intelligence reports, in some cases, it’s uncorroborated or unverified intelligence information,” he told a parliamentary committee studying foreign interference. “The idea that there’s a perfect list of names that is entirely reliable that should be released to the public is simply irresponsible.”

David McGuinty, chair of the NSICOP, which published the buzzy redacted report, said the decision to publicize the names of lawmakers is outside of his control.

McGuinty and the nine other NSICOP members with top-secret security clearance are bound by Canada’s Security of Information Act and risk prosecution if they inadvertently reveal classified information, he said.

He wouldn’t say if he’s bothered by sitting in the same party caucus with potential abettors of foreign interference.

“I’m more concerned about the fact that now the government has to move forward on this,” McGuinty said.

 

Conservative MP Michael Chong, whom China has been targeting for his advocacy on behalf of Uyghurs, is demanding that the committee release the names. China had spied on him and his family, and he wanted to know which of his colleagues was helping them.

“Certain members of this House acted in the best interest of hostile foreign regimes interfering in Canada’s democracy. This is a disgusting betrayal of Canadians who elected us,” party legislator Jasraj Singh Hallan told the House on Monday.

Indeed it is.

Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage had originally decided not to run in the UK Elections but changed his mind after it became apparent the “conservative” party had virtually no support left in the country. Since announcing his decision to run, Farage has faced two attacks by leftists, with the latest attack happening in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, on June 11, 2024.

Farage tweeted out after the attack, “My huge thanks to South Yorkshire Police today. I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country.”

Nigel Farage has been the subject of a second attempted physical assault in a week since returning to front-line British politics, with a protester hurling objects from a building site as the campaigner went by.

Brexit pioneer and now Reform UK leader Nigel Farage campaigned in support of his local candidate in Barnsley, South Yorkshire on Tuesday and was being greeted by waving supporters, video he published showed. An object was then thrown, narrowly missing Mr Farage, by a man wearing a red shirt shouting “fascist, fascist scum”.

The backlash against leftist policies in Europe continues as the right and the center-right make significant gains at the expense of the far-left in the latest EU Parliament election The biggest successes were in France, Germany, and Belgium. In France, Macron’s party lost so badly he immediately dissolved the parliament and called for flash elections.

In Germany, the Greens have faded to near irrelevancy, while the right’s AfD party surpassed Germany’s ruling party in votes, undermining PM Scholz’ legitimacy as the leader of the country. Belgium’s PM, Alexander De Croo, resigned after his party was crushed in the election. The Austrian Freedom Party garnered the most votes in the election with 25.7 percent of the votes going to them.

The results may also help alleviate the suffering of European farmers and ordinary citizens who are being crushed by ludicrous Green New Deal-esque policies. The Greens were reportedly crushed across most of Europe, including in Germany where they have been aggressive in pushing ridiculous policies hobbling farming and food production.

In Germany, Greens are imploding. They are projected to be the biggest losers from last time out, losing 8.6% of their vote in the Euro election. It is a big blow because they put major effort & money into EU elections. Their voters are the most pro-EU party in Germany (91%) pic.twitter.com/2xxdrxcQVy

The AP reports:

… In France, the National Rally party of Marine Le Pen dominated the polls to such an extent that Macron immediately dissolved the national parliament and called for new elections, a massive political risk since his party could suffer more losses, hobbling the rest of his presidential term that ends in 2027.

. . . . In Germany, the most populous nation in the 27-member bloc, projections indicated that the AfD overcame a string of scandals involving its top candidate to rise to 16.5%, up from 11% in 2019. In comparison, the combined result for the three parties in the German governing coalition barely topped 30%.

Scholz suffered such an ignominious fate that his long-established Social Democratic party fell behind the extreme-right Alternative for Germany, which surged into second place. “After all the prophecies of doom, after the barrage of the last few weeks, we are the second strongest force,” a jubilant AfD leader Alice Weidel said.

… Overall across the EU, two mainstream and pro-European groups, the Christian Democrats and the Socialists, remained the dominant forces. The gains of the far right came at the expense of the Greens, who were expected to lose about 20 seats and fall back to sixth position in the legislature. Macron’s pro-business Renew group also lost big.

. . . . Germany, traditionally a stronghold for environmentalists, exemplified the humbling of the Greens, who were predicted to fall from 20% to 12%. With further losses expected in France and elsewhere, the defeat of the Greens could well have an impact on the EU’s overall climate change policies, still the most progressive across the globe.

 

The Austrian “far-right” Freedom Party came out on top in the EU elections, winning 25.7% of the votes and beating their rivals. The “moderates” and the Greens lost. They hope to maintain their momentum in the upcoming general elections.

Powerline has more:

Exit polls from EU elections suggest, as predicted, a huge swing to the far right. Less noticed (but still connected) is the implosion of Greens. French Greens saw their worst performance in 30 yrs. In 2019 German Greens were 2nd place. In 2024 the hard-right AfD is 2nd. . . . The French Greens (Europe-écologie-Les Verts) even faced outright extinction. France has a 5% cut-off to enter the chamber. They very nearly had no seats at all. And the Greens spend A LOT on the European elections. It’s where they win their most votes.

. . . . Belgium’s prime minister has resigned. Belgium held national election concurrent with the European Parliament election, and the ruling coalition got smashed to bits, too.

Alexander De Croo, who is vocally anti-Israel, RESIGNED after his party received just 5.8% of the votes.

Peter Sweden’s the Freedom Corner provides a breakdown of other European countries and their results:

Netherlands:

Another big winner was the party of right-wing Geert Wilders in the Netherlands that supports the farmers. They saw a massive gain in exit polls, gaining many seats to become the second largest party.

Austria:

In Austria, the right-wing FPÖ party is projected to double their number of seats to become the largest party.

Spain:

Also in Spain the right-wing Vox party is making gains, becoming the third largest party with around 10% of the votes.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Far-right parties rattled the traditional powers in the European Union and made major gains in parliamentary elections Sunday, dealing an especially humiliating defeat to French President Emmanuel Macron.

On a night where the 27-member bloc palpably shifted to the right, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni more than doubled her seats in the EU parliament. And even if the Alternative for Germany extreme right party was hounded by scandal involving candidates, it still rallied enough seats to sweep past the slumping Social Democrats of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Sensing a threat from the far right, the Christian Democrats of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had already shifted further to the right on migration and climate ahead of the elections — and were rewarded by remaining by far the biggest group in the 720-seat European Parliament and de-facto brokers of the ever expanding powers of the legislature.

Undoubtedly however, the star on a stunning electoral night was the National Rally party of Marine Le Pen, dominated the French polls to such an extent that Macron immediately dissolved the national parliament and called for new elections. It was a massive political risk since his party could suffer more losses, hobbling the rest of his presidential term that ends in 2027.

Hundreds of prominent American organizations and individuals, including Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) have been named in a Soviet-style enemies list as not supporting sending more U.S. weapons and money to Ukraine.

This is not the first enemies list compiled by Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky, who cancelled elections in Ukraine and refused to leave office when his term ended in May.

The report, titled: “Roller Coaster: From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it,” was released last week by a Ukrainian NGO whose founder was trained by the U.S. State Dept.

4 American College Instructors ‘Brutally Stabbed’ While in China

Four instructors with ties to an Iowa college were stabbed in China on Monday. Their injuries were described as not life-threatening.

The four Americans from Cornell College, which has no connection to Cornell University in New York state, were attacked about noon, while touring a park in Jilin, a city in the northeastern part of the country, according to reports.

“Horrified that multiple Cornell College faculty members were brutally stabbed in China. My team has been in communication with Cornell College & will do everything in our power to bring these Iowans home safely. Join me in praying for their health & safety,” Republican Rep. Ashley Hinton of Iowa posted on X.

The son of Mass Mailer President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, has been convicted by a Wilmington, DE jury of three felony offenses related to a purchase of a revolver in October 2018 where he claimed in the background check he had not been under the influence of illegal drugs.

Biden faces up to 25 years in jail, which is considerably less than he would face if he were charged with some of the crimes many suspect he took when he appears to have been the frontman of a family operation selling American interest to her foreign enemies for millions of dollars.  The verdict comes only after the presiding Judge, District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, cancelled the original plea deal Special Investigator David Weiss had struck with Hunter.

A Delaware jury convicted Hunter Biden on three felony gun charges Tuesday.

Special counsel David Weiss charged Hunter Biden in September on three counts relating to his purchase of a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, alleging he knowingly possessed the gun while addicted to drugs and made false statements on the purchase form. The jury found him guilty on all counts.

Hunter Biden was indicted on separate tax charges in December.

Last July, a deal that would have had Hunter Biden plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter a diversion agreement for a felony gun charge fell apart under questioning by District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, who voiced concerns about an immunity provision included in the diversion agreement. The diversion agreement stated Hunter Biden would not be criminally prosecuted for any crimes encompassed by the statement of facts in his plea deal, which listed the millions of dollars he received through foreign business dealings in China, Ukraine and Romania.

The payments, along with President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business dealings, have been the subject of investigations by the House Oversight Committee.

Prosecutor Leo Wise admitted to Noreika at the time that he was not aware of precedent for an agreement not to prosecute crimes “that have nothing to do with the case or the charges being diverted.”

President Donald Trump attended a digital pre-sentencing hearing on Monday.

The hearing was part of Trump’s bogus “hush money” case.

A probation officer collected information for the judge to consult when he decides Trump’s punishment on July 11.

Trump is facing up to four years in prison after being found guilty of “falsifying business records” in May.

It’s widely expected that the Democrat judge, Juan Merchan, will throw the book at Trump for the politically motivated conviction.

The Monday interview lasted about half an hour.

The legally required, seemingly routine hearing adds another layer of persecution for Trump.

Democrats have sought to smear the 45th president as an ordinary “convicted felon” rather than a political prisoner, as many view him.

Last week, 22 senators issued a statement calling for an end to Democrats’ weaponization of the legal system, calling out “activist attorneys” and courts for targeting pro-life Americans. One particularly egregious case was that of Mark Houck, a Catholic pro-life activist arrested in 2022 and acquitted in 2023. Last month, he filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ) for $4.3 million.

Houck’s arrest made national headlines when 20 heavily armed federal, state, and local law enforcement agents apprehended him on Sept. 23, 2022, at his home in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania, in front of his wife and seven children. Months earlier, he had agreed to turn himself in peacefully in response to federal charges.

Houck was outside the Blackwell abortion facility in Philadelphia on Oct. 13, 2021, when he shoved a Planned Parenthood escort away from his 12-year-old son after repeated attempts to deter the man’s aggressive, verbal harassment. The incident, caught on camera, portrays Planned Parenthood volunteer Bruce Love walking down the street away from the facility’s entrance to intimidate and harass Houck and his son.

A small percentage of Biden voters say marriage and having children should be a top social priority, according to a Pew Research Center (PRC) study.

Only 19% of Biden voters view marriage and having children as a key priority for American society, while 59% of Trump supporters say that the issues should be prioritized, the PRC study reveals. After steadily declining for years, the nation’s fertility rate has reached the lowest point in over a century, according to recent data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.

For both Trump and Biden supporters alike, disparities exist between genders regarding the social benefit of marriage and having children, the survey found. Approximately 63% of Trump-supporting men and 54% of Trump-supporting women agree with the statement, according to the PRC study. Among Biden supporters, 22% of men and 16% of women agree, respectively.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for trafficking minors out of the state to obtain abortions without parental consent. The move comes six months after Project Veritas released undercover video showing staffers telling a PV journalist that it takes minors across state lines for secret abortions.

In a statement about the lawsuit, Bailey’s office said the lawsuit is the culmination of a years-long effort to get the abortion giant out of Missouri over its “flagrant and intentional refusal to comply with state law.”

A 19-year-old and two minors were arrested Wednesday for first-degree malicious mischief for vandalizing the newly-painted crosswalk, which had previously been damaged when someone lit it on fire last month.

Witnesses at a nearby restaurant saw the teens on Lime Scooters riding over the mural and called police.

Wokeness is impossible to escape. Everywhere you turn, you see rainbow flags, Black Lives Matter signs, or calls for “diversity and inclusion.” Companies force DEI trainings on staff. FBI agents march in Pride parades. Teachers tell kids in school that they are oppressors or oppressed based on their skin color. Target stores sell transgender swimsuits and Bud Light teams up with a grown man who acts like a little girl. Even Buzz Lightyear and “Star Wars” have gone woke.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is falling all over itself to push transgender pronouns, to promote drag queens, and to celebrate Pride—even on Easter Sunday!

It’s enough to drive anyone with common sense up a wall. Yet when Americans dare to say, “Enough!” they find themselves branded “authoritarian” for wanting a moment’s peace.

If you don’t get on board with woke, you oppose “democracy.” You’re a bigot, a racist, or a Christian nationalist.

Excerpt from www.jurist.org

The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on Sunday upheld a Massachusetts public middle school’s prohibition against one of its students from wearing a shirt with a message critical of transgender ideology. The appeals court found the prohibition to be consistent with the free speech protections of the US Constitution’s First Amendment under Tinker v. Des Moines.

John T. Nichols Middle School (NMS) has a dress code with a preface stating, “clothing … that causes distractions and inhibits learning is not allowed.” The dress code forbids “hate speech” and “imagery that target[s] groups based on … gender identity.” It also forbids “apparel that the administration determines to be unacceptable to our community standards.”

On March 21, 2023, Seventh grader Liam Morrison wore a shirt with the message “[t]here are only two genders” to NMS. The school contacted Morrison’s father and requested him to make Morrison wear more appropriate attire. Morrison’s father refused to comply and Morrison was told he could not attend class unless he stopped wearing the shirt. Morrison attempted to wear the shirt again with the message “censored” taped over the “only two” from the original message, but the school demanded him to remove it and he complied. Morrison through his father sued NMS for the shirt bans and alleged that the dress code is too vague and overbroad, violating the right to free speech protected under the First Amendment.
