Michigan Dems Propose Bill Seeking to Prosecute and Jail ICE Officers Who Wear Masks to Protect Their Identity › American Greatness– amgreatness.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Michigan House Democrats have introduced legislation that would make it a crime for law enforcement officers to wear masks while on duty, a move that targets federal immigration officials who have taken to wearing the face coverings to protect their identities.

A violation of the proposed law would be “a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine up to $1,000,” according to Michigan Live.

The proposed law mandates that law enforcement officers, while interacting with a member of the public during their duties, must display their name or badge number as well as the full name or initials of their law enforcement agency.

Any wearing of a mask or attempt at identity concealment would violate this provision.

Excerpt:

The spokesman of the Royal Thai Army has denounced Cambodia for repeatedly breaking the Thai-Cambodian ceasefire agreement reached early this week.

Maj Gen Winthai Suvaree, spokesman for the army, told the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand that a Cambodian attack with rifles and hand grenades happened in Phu Makua in Thailand’s northeastern province of Si Sa Ket at about 9pm on Tuesday.

“The use of weapons was inappropriate because it is a time of ceasefire and a period that we must have mutual trust. The army must condemn this kind of action. This is the second time for the use of weapons during the ceasefire agreement,” the spokesman said.

“Cambodia has not observed the agreed rule,” Maj Gen Winthai said.

Israeli Settlers Attack Christian Town

After a second assault upon the Christian town of Taybeh in as many weeks on Monday, the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem (PHCJ) issued a statement decrying the “prevailing climate of impunity” for such crimes of aggression by Israeli settlers backed by Israeli authorities who fail to hold these terrorists accountable.

The prelates, including Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, expressed their “unwavering condemnation following yet another violent assault” against the Christians in this town. “Several vehicles were set ablaze, and hateful graffiti was sprayed — an unambiguous act of intimidation directed at a peaceful and faithful community rooted in the land of Christ.”

April Doss, a Democrat and former Russia collusion hoax investigator, was fired as NSA General Counsel on Tuesday, according to the New York Times.

As we reported earlier, April Doss worked with Senate Democrats on their Russia collusion witch hunt against Trump.

“Just months into Trump’s first term as president, she took a high-level job working for Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating supposed Russian interference in the 2016 election. Doss was the Democrats’ Senior Counsel for the committee’s Russia investigation, which conducted hundreds of interviews in its failed attempt to find evidence of conspiracy between Trump and Russia,” we reported about a week ago.

April Doss also publicly called for President Trump to be permanently banned from social media.

“Doss is a transparently partisan activist who has written publicly about her opposition to Trump. She has called for Trump to be permanently banned from social media for staging an “insurrection,” attacked Republicans for opposing a crackdown on “disinformation,” and defended the treatment of Trump aides Carter Page and Michael Flynn at the hands of the intelligence state,” we reported.

The Trump administration made an important move on court documents relating to late convicted sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Tuesday night, President Donald Trump asked two judges to release testimony given to grand juries that indicted both Epstein and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Trump’s Department of Justice made a request for transcripts of testimony on July 18, but as Reuters reported, two judges wanted a more refined legal justification before moving forward.

The court filings just before midnight mentioned the case was subject to “abundant public interest,” making the request appropriate.

That is an understatement given how much attention Trump has garnered over his — and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s — handling of Epstein so far.

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed reports Monday night that she has ordered the FBI to investigate the vicious beating in downtown Cincinnati late Friday night/early Saturday morning of a white man and woman by a mostly Black mob that received national attention after videos of the attack went viral.

The viral video was originally posted on Saturday by Cory Bowman, half-brother of Vice President J.D. Vance and Republican candidate for Cincinnati mayor.

The case against, Alejandro Theodoro Orellana has been dropped.

Federal prosecutors have moved to dismiss the case against a Los Angeles who had been seen on video distributing face masks during the LA anti-ICE riots in June.

According to court documents, the case against, Alejandro Theodoro Orellana has been dropped, with the DOJ stating, “Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, the United States Attorney for the Central District of California, hereby moves pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a), and by leave of the Court, to dismiss the Indictment without prejudice in the above-referenced case.”

According to Bloomberg Law, the motion from the DOJ came down after Bill Essayli had faced pressure from prosecutors over the case. Orellana had been charged with civil disturbance, which usually requires consultation with the National Security Division in Washington.

Orellana had been indicted by a grand jury earlier in July for distributing the face shields at the anti-ICE riots in LA that took place in June. He had been charged with conspiracy to commit civil disorder and aiding and abetting civil disorder.

<b>Anti-Israel Activist Network Finds New Cash Pipelines as Longtime Fiscal Sponsor Faces Legal and Financial Collapse</b>- <i> freebeacon.com</i>

Excerpt:

A vast network of anti-Israel groups has found “alternative fiscal sponsorships” after a main backer, the Westchester People’s Action Coalition (WESPAC), was exposed in a number of lawsuits as the financial powerhouse underwriting the nationwide campus protest movement, a new watchdog report shows.

WESPAC, a nonprofit headquartered in the affluent New York suburb White Plains, served until recently as the official “fiscal sponsor” for many of the organizations orchestrating violent and often anti-Semitic demonstrations on college campuses across the country. With WESPAC now embroiled in nationwide lawsuits, its partner organizations have been forced to find new benefactors and alternate fundraising channels.

WESPAC’s financial relationships with numerous pro-terror groups allowed it to accept tax-deductible donations on behalf of many organizations “directly responsible for targeting Jews with antisemitic rhetoric and creating a hostile environment across the United States,” according to a new report by NGO Monitor, which tracks anti-Israel funding networks. Those organizations include National Students for Justice in Palestine, Within Our Lifetime, the Palestinian Youth Movement, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, the Palestinian Feminist Collective, and Adalah-NY.

In a victory for the pro-life movement and states’ rights, a three-judge panel for the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled that West Virginia can enforce its law restricting abortion, rejecting an attempt by a drug manufacturer to override state protections for unborn children.

The ruling in GenBioPro v. Raynes centered on whether federal drug law preempts state abortion restrictions. GenBioPro, the manufacturer of the chemical abortion drug mifepristone, had argued that the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the drug should override state laws banning or restricting its use. The court disagreed.

The court’s 2-1 decision affirms the authority of states to regulate abortion and other high-risk medications within its borders, even when the drugs in question have federal approval. The panel concluded that the 2007 amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) did not strip states of their right to enact minimum safety standards or protect unborn life.

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, writing for the majority, explained that the FDCA “falls well short of expressing a clear intention to displace the states’ historic and sovereign right to protect the health and safety of their citizens and that “Preemption in this instance would upend the federal-state balance by supplanting every state law tangentially touching a federal domain.”

One grant funded faculty training in ‘antiracist orientations’ via virtual reality

President Donald Trump’s administration recently pulled over $7.6 million in National Science Foundation grants from Arizona State University due to their ties to “diversity, equity and inclusion.”

The cuts targeted projects that included terms such as “equitable,” “underrepresented,” and “racial,” according to AZ Free News.

One of the five DEI grants that were pulled allocated nearly $2.5 million to a project called “Black Girls as Creators: an intersectional learning ecosystem toward gendered racial equity in Artificial Intelligence education.”

The program, which ran from October 2023 to April 2025, ended three years early. It offered after-school and summer camps for black girls aged 9-14 to work with AI creators, “focusing on intersectionality and racial equity,” the AZ Free News reported.

Another canceled grant allotted over $700,000 to an initiative called “Positioning Engineering Faculty to Support Black Engineering Graduate Students through Awareness, Knowledge, Capacity Building, and Community.”

The program, which was also terminated in April, was supposed to run through August 2029. It trained ASU faculty “in antiracist orientations using virtual reality simulations to address systemic barriers for black graduate students, prioritizing competency over technical skills,” according to AZ Free News.

Google has harnessed motion sensors on more than 2 billion smartphones to create an earthquake early-warning system that’s as effective as standard seismometers, a new study reveals.

Between 2021 and 2024, the company’s Android Earthquake Alerts (AEA) system captured more than 11,000 quakes through smartphone accelerometers and issued more than 1,200 alerts to Android users across 98 countries.

This system has led to a tenfold increase in the number of people with access to earthquake alerts, from 250 million in 2019 to 2.5 billion today. The researchers published their findings July 17 in the journal Science.

Stanford University has suspended for one year a pair of student co-ops for Title VI violations, one antisemitic in nature and the other anti-white.

As noted by The Stanford Daily, Title VI is the federal law banning “harassment and discrimination based on race, color or national origin in educational institutions.”

The school’s co-ops, or cooperative houses, are “student-managed residences in which house members cooperate in the operation and governance of the house.”

According to the Daily, the Stanford Title VI Office received “several reports” about the Kairos co-op after some students “participating in an extracurricular activity in the house were asked to leave.”

The reason was that “Zionists” present were “making residents of the house uncomfortable” … despite none of the activity’s participants discussing politics.

Sadly, millions of Americans are living with post-vaccine symptoms and accepting them as a new reality. It doesn’t have to be this way. While government health agencies refuse to acknowledge the issue of vaccine damage to the body, freedom-fighting doctors are stepping up to restore health and save lives.

Don’t normalize sickness.

Dr. Peter McCullough, cardiologist and America’s leading COVID-19 expert, treats hundreds of patients in his clinic with a wide range post-vaccine symptoms. Like millions of others, these patients refuse to “normalize” their symptoms and will stop at nothing to get their health back.

Says Dr. McCullough:

“Far and away the most common question I get from those who took one of the COVID-19 vaccines is: ‘how do I get this out of my body?’… At three and one half years into the pandemic and two and a half years into the COVID-19 vaccine debacle, myself and my clinic partners formulated a baseline regimen upon which additional drugs or agents can be added.”

A simple solution.

Dr. McCullough continues,

“We searched the literature for all available sources of evidence for products that can aid the human body in breaking down and catabolizing the Spike protein. We found nattokinase, which additionally has fibrinolytic properties which are advantageous in the prothrombotic milieu induced by the persistent Spike protein…

 Out of all the available therapies I have used in my practice and among all the proposed detoxification agents, I believe nattokinase and related peptides hold the greatest promise for patients at this time.”

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the Wall Street Journal has offered to settle the president’s lawsuit against them over a report that Trump set notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy letter for his birthday in 2003.

The explosive report claims that in 2003, Trump sent Epstein a birthday note alongside a scribbled photo of a naked woman. The alleged photo, which the outlet claims included a signature reading “Donald” on the drawing’s waist to look like pubic hair, was not published by The Journal.

It did provide a transcript of a bizarre poem, which they claim was written by Trump. The transcript of the alleged note goes as follows:

“Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything.

Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.

Jeffrey: Nor will I…

Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey: Yes, we do…

Donald: Enigmas never age…

Jeffrey: …it was clear to me the last time I saw you.

Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

UCLA agreed to pay more than $6 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Jewish students who said the university allowed anti-Semitic discrimination during the spring 2024 anti-Israel encampments, which included a “Jew Exclusion Zone.”

Just hours after the settlement was inked, the Justice Department announced that it found UCLA violated federal civil rights law by failing to “respond to complaints of severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive harassment and abuse that Jewish and Israeli students faced on its campus from October 7, 2023, to the present.”

In June 2024, Yitzchok Frankel, then a second-year UCLA law student, filed a lawsuit alleging he was “harassed and blocked from approaching the encampment by antisemitic activists, all with the assistance of UCLA security.” He was later joined by two additional Jewish students and a medical school professor, and the Justice Department’s notice of violation on Tuesday also pointed to findings in the Frankel suit.

Under the settlement, UCLA will contribute over $2.3 million to eight Jewish organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League and Hillel at UCLA, while another $320,000 will go toward UCLA’s Initiative to Combat Antisemitism. It will also dole out $50,000 to each of the plaintiffs and pay $3.6 million of their legal fees.

In addition to the payments, UCLA will also enter a consent judgment that prohibits it from “knowingly allowing or facilitating the exclusion of Jewish students, faculty, and/or staff”—including discrimination based on one’s “religious beliefs concerning the Jewish state of Israel”from university programs or spaces. The agreement will be in effect for 15 years.

Washington Post “fact checker” Glenn Kessler announced on July 28 he’s hanging up his Pinocchios and accepting a generous buyout after 27 years.

“Much as I would have liked to keep scrutinizing politicians in Washington, especially in this era, the financial considerations were impossible to dismiss,” he announced.

Kessler used a Pinocchio scale for his fact checks, and “Four Pinocchios” was his version of a “Pants On Fire” lie. During the 2016 campaign, Kessler reported “Trump earned significantly more four-Pinocchio ratings than Clinton – 59 to 7….the numbers don’t lie.”

The numbers always demonstrated a partisan pattern. Kessler’s white whale was Donald Trump. In 2020, he and his team authored a book titled Donald Trump and His Assault on Truth: The President’s Falsehoods, Misleading Claims and Flat-Out Lies.

The Post constructed a database of Trump claims. At the end of the first term, Kessler celebrated their end-of-term count of President Trump’s “false and misleading statements” – 30,573. Liberals routinely mangled this count by suggesting it was 30,000 “lies.”

The inability to get Trump, for lack of a better term, reared its head again, as the legacy media and the panicans were left shattered and bloody over the latest economic report. They were lusting for a recession. They were hoping the tariffs would increase prices—neither of those things happened. Instead, what we got was a robust report of three percent economic growth in the second quarter. The experts were wrong again. They were off about inflation, tariffs—when will they hide away in a cave in abject shame? You don’t get it. You never will, and it’s time to admit you’ll never beat Trump, ever. Also, Powell, cut the rates, a sentiment echoed in White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s statement on today’s robust economic news:

 

Today, GDP growth came in above market expectations, and yesterday, consumer confidence rose. Americans trust in President Trump’s America First economic agenda that continues to prove the so-called ‘experts’ wrong. President Trump has reduced America’s reliance on foreign products, boosted investment in the US, and created thousands of jobs — delivering on his promise to Make America Wealthy Again. The data is clear, and there are no more excuses — now is the time for ‘too late’ Powell to cut the rates!”

In a reversal, President Donald Trump’s administration will reinstate Argentina into the U.S. visa waiver program.

It’s a symbolic upgrade in America’s relationship with Argentina under its current leader, President Javier Milei.

Libertarian Milei is a Trump ally.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced Argentina’s reinstatement while visiting Buenos Aires, the nation’s capital.

Noem cited Argentina’s shared commitment to border security.

This is reflected by Argentina having the lowest visa overstay rate in all of Latin America.

“Under President Javier Milei’s leadership, Argentina is becoming an even stronger friend to the United States—more committed than ever to border security for both of our nations,” Noem said.

“Argentina now has the lowest visa overstay rate in all of Latin America, and 25 percent more Argentines traveled to the U.S. in the first four months of this year compared to last year—the biggest jump of any of the top 20 international arrivals.

More than 460 days away, next year’s midterm elections are approaching, but Democrats are looking hopefully toward the past.

The president’s party has lost House seats in all but two midterm elections since 1938. The two exceptions were 1998, when Bill Clinton’s party gained five seats amid an unpopular Republican attempt to impeach him, and 2002, when George W. Bush’s party picked up eight seats in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and the House of Representatives. Their congressional majorities are small, especially in the House, where the GOP currently holds 219 seats.

A blue wave could easily wash these majorities away. In the 2018 midterm elections during President Donald Trump’s first term, Democrats gained 40 House seats and a majority that would go on to impeach him. But it wouldn’t take anywhere near that big a loss to cost Republicans their House majority in 2026.

In 2022, Republicans expected a red wave. They ended up with a smaller net gain in House seats than they managed in 2020, when Democrat Joe Biden was elected president. But it was still more than enough for Republicans to take control of the House, however narrowly.

An internet trade group that represents social media giants, including Meta, TikTok, and X, filed an emergency application to the U.S. Supreme Court to block a Mississippi law that requires age verification for social media users.

NetChoice urged the high court to reinstate a preliminary injunction against Mississippi’s I.D.-for-Speech law, HB 1126.

“This law violates First Amendment rights while manufacturing a cybersecurity nightmare for families that want to use social media. It will force every Mississippian—adults and minors alike—to surrender their personal information to access fully protected online speech and expose families to unprecedented risks,” NetChoice said in a release.

“Indeed, Americans are increasingly using social media to find basic information and news, but this law would burden that access and violate our rights,” it continued.

“Free speech is under attack, and NetChoice is fighting back. Social media is the modern printing press—it allows all Americans to share their thoughts and perspectives. And, until now, Mississippians could do the same free from government interference. But Mississippi’s censorship regime would upend the status quo by forcing people to provide their sensitive, personal information just to access fully protected speech online. That is a massive First Amendment violation,” said Paul Taske, Co-Director of the NetChoice Litigation Center.

Informed consent is a pillar of any ethical medical practice or treatment, but like the pseudo-science cited by proponents of “transgender” genital mutilation and chemical castration, it is notoriously absent from discussions about whether to pursue the irreversible medical interventions.

On Monday, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched an inquiry, requesting public input, as to the true scope of information provided to would-be patients — with a particular focus on children — by doctors or other health professionals before being convinced to start the experimental and permanently harmful interventions.

The FTC says it wants to “better understand how consumers may have been exposed to false or unsupported claims about ‘gender-affirming care,’ especially as it relates to minors, and to gauge the harms consumers may be experiencing.”

The inquiry follows a July 9 event where the FTC heard from a variety doctors, detransitioners, parents, and medical ethicists on the subject of deceptive trade practices when it comes to fully describing the risks involved with the unproven and often gruesome medical procedures.

Former physician assistant student is suing college, alleging discrimination and breach of contract

A former student is suing Springfield College for $500,000, alleging the school violated her civil rights and discriminated against her religious beliefs after she was required to observe an abortion procedure.

Alina Thopurathu, an Indian-American Catholic who was studying to be a physician assistant, claims the institution also breached its contract with her when she was kicked out of the program, according to a copy of the lawsuit, obtained by The College Fix.

After expressing concerns about the abortion, she alleges the private Massachusetts college began “sabotaging her stellar academic record,” which ultimately led to her being dismissed.

Her situation was met with support from a national pro-life organization, Students for Life of America.

“The Hippocratic Oath ensures that doctors or those studying to be physicians are guided by the principle- ‘First, do no harm.’ Putting a baby to death violates that oath and violates Life,” spokesperson Michael Allers told The College Fix in a recent email.

In the weeks surrounding Trump’s inauguration, the left-wing media insisted the administration’s effort to remove trans troops from the military would weaken the force — some outlets fearmongered that up to 15,000 service members would be booted. But numbers recently obtained by journalist Chris Bray from the Department of Defense indicate that only four “transgender servicemembers” have been “removed from the military so far under the new Trump administration policy.”

In May, the Department of Defense released a memo laying out how “Service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria may elect to separate voluntarily.” At the time, the agency estimated 1,000 troops who self-identified as having gender dysphoria would “begin the voluntary separation process.” According to Bray’s reporting, citing a DoD official, of 1,404 troops who self-identified as of May, only four have completed the process of separation. The rest are “pending.”

Nonetheless, as Bray also notes, the media will surely continue pushing the claim that Trump’s efforts to “prioritize military excellence” will boot “thousands” from the force.

The bottom line is that the Providence Public School District (PPSD) is under investigation not only by the EEOC, but also by the U.S. Department of Justice for the “Educator of Color Loan Forgiveness Program” in which the Rhode Island Foundation (RIF) played an instrumental role in crafting and funding. But while PPSD is under formal investigation, RIF is not (to our knowledge).

Will RIF, run by former Congressman and House Floor Impeachment Manager against Trump, ever be held accountable? If not for RIF, the school district never could have or would have implemented this discriminator program.

So consider this another call from the Equal Protection Project for a civil rights investigation of the Rhode Island Foundation.

I had a chance to talk about that with popular radio host Matt Allen Show on WPRO in Providence. Matt has been a stand up guy, willing to have me on repeated to cover against a Rhode Island media cone of silence on the story. What amounts to the biggest racism scandal in Rhode Island in decades perpetrated by the largest charity through the largest public school district (which is run by the State Dept. of Education) gets a lot of national coverage, but almost no local coverage.
