Blurb:

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith defended his conduct before House lawmakers on Wednesday, insisting behind closed doors that politics had “no role” in the “investigations” and criminal charges he brought against President Donald Trump.

Smith appeared for a deposition with the House Judiciary Committee.

During the hearing, Republicans pressed Smith over his handling of the two federal cases targeting Trump.

One of the cases related to the 2020 election, and another was concerning the alleged retention of classified documents.

Portions of Smith’s opening remarks show the Biden administration prosecutor attempting to portray the cases as strictly legal decisions.

In response to GOP Reps. Fitzpatrick, Lawler, Bresnahan and Mackenzie partnering with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ push to force a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies without Hyde protections, SBA Pro-Life America issued the following statement:

“The GOP cannot afford to take its pro-life base for granted heading into 2026,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Base turnout determines midterm elections. Without it – especially without President Trump on the ballot – Republicans cannot win.

“The House vote on the Jeffries plan to extend COVID-era Obamacare subsidies without Hyde protections will be a decisive factor in SBA Pro-Life America’s political engagement in both primaries and the general election in 2026.

“SBA Pro-Life America thanks Speaker Mike Johnson, Leader Scalise, and the entire House GOP leadership team for their unwavering leadership in advancing a GOP health care package led by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks that includes vital Hyde protections to prevent taxpayer funding of abortion. Speaker Johnson’s resolve stands in stark contrast to the flip-flopping of Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, who has voted previously to apply the Hyde Amendment to Obamacare and urged President Trump to veto any bill that weakens Hyde.

Poor Scott Jennings must struggle to refrain from pulling his hair out nightly on CNN.

On Tuesday, for instance, the network’s resident conservative had to deal with a communications “expert” who apparently cannot communicate.

In a clip posted to the social media platform X, Jennings used a single question to expose the silliness of leftist podcaster Tezlyn Figaro, founder of the Tezlyn Figaro Communications Group, who offered an outlandish explanation for why White House chief of staff Susie Wiles gave an ill-advised interview to Vanity Fair, which the outlet published on Tuesday morning.

“Somebody asked her to take the fall,” Figaro speculated during a panel discussion on “CNN NewsNight.” “I mean, just being honest, somebody needed to come at — I know I’m being a conspiracy theorist.”

Jennings, with a furrowed brow, posed the obvious question.

“Take the fall for what?” he asked.

Pope Leo XIV has appointed a San Diego auxiliary bishop who celebrated an “All are Welcome” LGBT “Pride” Mass – during which a drag queen activist was permitted to speak – as the new bishop of Monterey, California. 

Bishop Ramón Bejarano was the celebrant of the July 13 Sunday Mass, which was organized by St. John’s “LGBTQ Ministry” and had the full backing of the Diocese of San Diego under Bishop Michael Pham, one of Pope Leo XIV’s first episcopal appointments.

“I apologize for the pain and distress that I and the Church have caused to many of you,” Bishop Bejarano reportedly said in a 2024 “All are Welcome Mass” sermon at the same parish. “I apologize for the stigmatization and trauma we have caused to others because we have told them that they are not valued and that they are not worthy of the love of God. There are many others out there who feel rejected and unvalued.” 

Bejarano was also among the 68 American bishops who in 2021 signed a letter asking the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to end discussions on prohibiting then-President Joe Biden and other pro-abortion Catholic politicians from receiving Holy Communion.

Four Republicans Jump Ship, Side With Jeffries on Extending Obamacare Subsidies – RedState– redstate.com

Blurb:

It looks like the U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on whether or not to extend the expiring Obamacare subsidies, after all. On Wednesday, four Republicans – Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07), Rob Bresnahan, (PA-08), and Mike Lawler (NY-17) – signed on to a discharge petition backed by House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) to force a floor vote on the extension.

A discharge petition is the mechanism lawmakers use to override House leaders in order to get legislation in front of the entire chamber for a vote, but it needs the approval of a majority of House members. By backing the Democrat plan, the four GOPers thumbed their noses at Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-04) and gave Jeffries the 218 votes needed to force the vote.

There’s long been a stalemate between Republicans and Democrats over whether or not to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits that were given new life during the COVID era. Back in 2021, Democrats increased the size of the tax credits, expanded eligibility, and capped premiums as part of a COVID relief package; those modifications were meant to be temporary and were set to expire at the end of 2025.

Canada’s government-run euthanasia program increased its death toll again last year, taking more than 16,000 lives, and placing medically assisted suicide as the fourth leading cause of death in the country.

According to an annual report published by the Canadian government, 16,499 people were killed through the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program in 2024, increasing 6.9 percent from the previous year. Close to 75 percent of the 22,535 people who applied for the program were approved.

The report authors stated that the number of deaths is possibly stabilizing, while admitting that “long-term trends” have not yet been identified. Based on 2023 numbers, an estimated 1 in 20 deaths are government-directed.

Blurb:

Most observers of the abortion debate would likely agree that it is primarily a matter of ethics, a contest between the Hippocratic standard of respect for human life and various forms of humanistic pragmatism that allow abortion as a way to address personal and social problems. Resolving that debate has engaged philosophers of medicine, religious leaders, and the few political figures who seriously address it, for decades, with shifts in public policy and law back and forth. The debate also necessarily involves the matter of real-world consequences, making data collection and analysis a crucial part of the discussion, even if they are not ultimately the primary drivers of convictions on so profound a set of questions.

This fact has led to a range of skirmishes and debates all their own. One example is the decision of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the Obama administration to drop the requirement that abortion pill (mifepristone) manufacturers report non-fatal events to the FDA involving the drug. Only deaths were, and still are under the Trump administration, subject to mandatory reporting.

As fresh controversy swirls around the FDA’s promise to review the safety of mifepristone, the status of future injury reporting remains in doubt, although it would be a welcome restoration of a policy with virtually no downside, especially as other FDA policy changes have increased risks to women who are taking the abortion drug regimen later in pregnancy, without a doctor’s visit, and no tests to rule out ectopic pregnancy and other serious health concerns.

PA Lets Mail Pile Up For A Month, But Says Mail Voting Secure– thefederalist.com

Pennsylvania’s mail scandal — that mail vendor Capitol Presort Services reportedly failed to deliver the state’s mail for a month — is another reason we should not trust the mail with our elections.

Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Gillian McGoldrick reported Saturday that 3.4 million official letters from Pennsylvania state agencies were stuck in limbo from Nov. 3 through Dec. 3. The communications did not get sent until last week, after the state fired the mail vendor and hired another one to send the letters.

It is not clear why state workers can’t handle mailing letters without the complication of a contracted vendor.

Some of the delayed letters contained time-sensitive communications about services with important deadlines, including notices for recipients to interact with agencies or lose benefits, according to McGoldrick’s report. Health coverage, SNAP food benefits, child abuse clearances, decisions about elder abuse and foster homes for kids, along with timely notices of hearings — all from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services — reportedly piled up at the vendor instead of being given to the U.S. Postal Service for delivery.

Important communications from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation were also delayed. Halted mail included driver’s license and vehicle registration renewal reminders, vehicle registration cards, driver’s license camera cards, and address card updates.

The Committee added that these falsified crime stats put “Americans at risk by creating an illusion of a safe city.”

According to Omar, her son was pulled over by ICE officers at Target and asked to prove he was a citizen of this great nation. She claims that he was released once he showed them his passport.

However, Acting Director Todd Lyons said there is “absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son” and claimed she is “unfairly demonizing our law enforcement officers.”

That’s a move pro-life and disability rights advocates warn endangers the state’s most vulnerable citizens, discriminates against the disabled and opens the door to future expansions of state-sanctioned death.

Democrats in the United States repeatedly praise Australia’s 1996 gun confiscation law as a successful model to emulate, while many Australians — especially after the Bondi Beach terror attack earlier this week — argue that the confiscation helped but failed to go far enough. Yet the supposed benefits of this policy rest on deeply flawed statistical analysis.

We’re an outlier amongst nations in terms of what happens to our children.” Prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden, have echoed this praise for Australia’s 1996 gun confiscation law.

The FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in 2022, but did it anyway after pressure from then-President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, according to newly uncovered emails.

Emails released by Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office show that officials at the FBI and DOJ communicated about FBI concerns about the warrant in the months leading up to the August raid.

In one June 1 email an unidentified FBI assistant special agent in charge wrote to FBI official Anthony Riedlinger, “Very little has been developed related to who might be culpable for mishandling the documents.”

“[FBI Washington Field Office] has been drafting a Search Warrant affidavit related to these potential boxes, but has some concerns that the information is single source, has not been corroborated, and may be dated.

A few days ago, Attorney General Pam Bondi dropped a bombshell press release about U.S. anti-discrimination law. 

“Disparate impact” is effectively dead. 

“The prior ‘disparate impact’ regulations encouraged people to file lawsuits challenging racially neutral policies, without evidence of intentional discrimination,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in the release. “Our rejection of this theory will restore true equality under the law by requiring proof of actual discrimination, rather than enforcing race- or sex-based quotas or assumptions.”

The Justice Department will essentially deprioritize discrimination cases that rely on “disparate impact” under this new standard.  

Most of the media ignored the announcement. But Politico regurgitated left-wing talking points, asserting in a supposedly straight news story that the move “end[s] long-standing civil rights policies that prohibit local governments and organizations that receive federal funding from maintaining policies that disproportionately harm people of color.” They added it “will make it harder to challenge potential bias in housing, criminal law, employment, environmental regulations and other policy areas.”
