Trump lawyers want quick deposition of Murdoch in WSJ defamation suit– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

Donald Trump‘s lawyers are asking a federal court for a quick deposition of media mogul Rupert Murdoch in the president’s defamation lawsuit over a Wall Street Journal article about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump’s lawyers request in the filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida that the court compel the owner of the Wall Street Journal to be deposed within 15 days, in part because of his advanced age. The filing argues Murdoch, 94, “is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares,” which underscores the urgency of having him testify quickly.

“Taken together, these factors weigh heavily in determining that Murdoch would be unavailable for in-person testimony at trial,” the filing reads.

The Trump lawyers allege Murdoch should be compelled to testify because he spoke to Trump about the story before it was published and is “widely known for having a hands-on approach over editorial decisions related to News Corp’s periodicals.”

“Because Defendants published the Article after President Trump spoke directly with Murdoch and advised him that the letter referenced in the Article was fake, Murdoch’s direct involvement further underscores Defendants’ actual malice and intent behind the decision to publish the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements about President Trump identified in the Complaint,” the filing reads.

Trump administration to boycott UN Palestinian statehood summit in New York– www.foxnews.com

Excerpt:

The Trump administration is set to boycott a high-level summit on Palestinian statehood, co-sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia, scheduled to take place at United Nations headquarters in New York City on Monday.

The event was originally planned for June with French President Emmanuel Macron in attendance but was postponed due to the 12-day war between Israel and Iran. Representatives from more than 50 nations are expected to speak at the High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine, with dozens of additional countries listed as participants.

Reuters reported last month that a U.S. diplomatic cable had urged governments to skip the “counterproductive” U.N. event, which Washington described as an obstacle to efforts to end the war in Gaza.

“The fact that the French and the Saudis could not be dissuaded from manufacturing this latest stumbling block to peace is a finger in the eye to President Trump,” Anne Bayefsky, president of Human Rights Voices and director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust, told Fox News Digital.

Obama-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump’s Efforts To Defund Planned Parenthood– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

A Massachusetts district judge blocked the Trump administration on Monday from effectively defunding Planned Parenthood for a year.

Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the withholding of Medicaid funds possibly violated the First Amendment’s right of association, according to court documents. The case stems from a provision in Trump’s tax bill that eliminates Medicaid reimbursements to abortion providers that received more than $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023 for one year, regardless of the other services the provider offered.

“The court’s order does not require the federal government to spend money not already appropriated for Medicaid or any other funds,” Talwani wrote. “Instead, this order grants preliminary relief that prevents Defendants from targeting a specific group of entities — Planned Parenthood Federation Members — for exclusion from reimbursements under the Medicaid program where Plaintiffs have established a substantial likelihood that they will succeed in establishing that such targeted exclusion violated the United States Constitution, and where Plaintiffs satisfy the remaining requirements to obtain a preliminary injunction.”

Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and Planned Parenthood Association of Utah filed a joint lawsuit against Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), following the passage of Trump’s tax bill.

DOJ, FBI Shut Down Disgusting Websites That Attracted Tens of Thousands – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ), along with the FBI, announced that it had finally completed a five-year program called Operation Grayskull. The results were the dismantling of four absolutely horrific dark websites that contained child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and the convictions of 18 individuals who will serve over 300 years in prison collectively.

According to CBS, these websites attracted over 120,000 members and received 100,000 visits per day. They contained millions of CSAM files.

The 18 men who were prosecuted were found guilty on charges including conspiracy to advertise child pornography, advertisement of child pornography, and possession of child pornography, and their sentences range from five years and a few months up to life in federal prison. They’ve also been ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution to the victims.

One of those men is William Michael Spearman, a man in his late fifties who resides in Madison, Ala. Or he did. He has since been sentenced to life in prison. The DOJ calls him the “lead administrator” of one of the websites that specifically posted CSAM and torture media involving toddlers and infants. He “managed numerous other ‘staff’ members, directed them on how to help run the site, recommended other users for promotion, kept records of child sexual abuse material advertised and distributed over the site, presided over staff meetings, praised and scolded users, and counseled users and other managers about the functions and expectations of the website,” according to the federal agency.

Columbia University Bends the Knee, Agrees to Stunning Settlement With Trump Administration – RedState– redstate.com

Excerpt:

Money talks, and Columbia University finally admitted that on Wednesday, after a stunning settlement with the Trump administration was announced.

As Redstate reported, the Ivy League school has been a hotbed of pro-Hamas activity, including antisemitic harassment and violence. In the Spring of 2024, just as the presidential campaign was ramping up, terror supporters took over Hamilton Hall, barricading themselves inside and claiming to have liberated it. For months on end, radicals waving “Palestinian” flags occupied the main grounds, refusing to let Jews pass.

All the while, Columbia administrators sought appeasement instead of order. It took Mayor Eric Adams giving the NYPD the green light to finally clear Hamilton Hall, but because of New York’s far-left prosecutors, few people were punished. It was during this time that Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian national whom the Trump administration is currently trying to deport for his pro-terrorism ties, became a known figure.

While Joe Biden took no action, and if anything helped egg on the antisemitic, pro-terror chaos, the next president had other ideas, with the Trump White House immediately starting an investigation. Before long, the consequences arrived in the form of stripping hundreds of millions of dollars in future grant money from Columbia.

Trump Says He’s ‘Thinking About’ Sending Tariff-Funded Rebate Checks To Americans– dailycaller.com

President Donald Trump said on Friday that he was contemplating sending rebate checks to Americans using tariff revenue.

The U.S. government ran a $27 billion budget surplus in June, fueled partly by record tariff revenue, which exceeded $100 billion for the first time in a fiscal year, Reuters reported. When a reporter asked Trump at the White House if there was a chance of a rebate for Americans due to the revenue, the president said his administration was prioritizing paying off debt, but that a small rebate for some Americans was possible.

Pro-Palestinian activist: ‘Absurd’ to ask if I condemn Hamas– www.thecollegefix.com

Excerpt:

Columbia University’s famed pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil said it is “absurd” and “disingenuous” to ask him if he condemns the terrorist group Hamas.

Khalil repeatedly avoided answering the direct question during a recent interview on CNN. The Trump administration tried to deport Khalil and accused him of lying on his visa application after he omitted his work with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

The Trump administration is also seeking to deport Khalil, an Algerian national, on the grounds he is sympathetic to Hamas and is promoting antisemitism.

“Just to be clear here, do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their action on Oct. 7?” CNN’s Pamela Brown asked Khalil on Tuesday.

“I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop,” Khalil said. Brown asked again, but Khalil kept talking.

“To me, it‘s always, as I said, disingenuous and absurd to ask such questions when literally 62,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel,” he said. “And that‘s why I wouldn‘t really engage much into such questions on condemnation or not. Because selective condemnation wouldn‘t get us anywhere. It’s just like [hypocritical] to be honest.”

“Jessica is a caring mom of five who is now free to adopt after Oregon officials excluded her because of her common-sense belief that a girl cannot become a boy or vice versa.”

A federal court of appeals has sided with an Oregon woman who sued the state over an adoption rule by the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) that went against her Christian beliefs. The woman was seeking to adopt children and prevented from doing so by LGBTQ laws.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction barring the ODHS from applying Oregon Administrative Rule Section 413- 200-0308(2)(k) to Jessica Bates while the lawsuit plays out in lower courts.

The rule states that those seeking to foster or adopt children in the state must “Respect, accept and support the race, ethnicity, cultural identities, national origin, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disabilities, spiritual beliefs, and socioeconomic status, of a child or young adult in the care or custody of the Department, and provide opportunities to enhance the positive self-concept and understanding of the child or young adult’s heritage.”

In announcing last week that there has been an 830 percent increase in violence against federal immigration agents, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) placed the blame squarely on false media reports and unhinged claims by left-wing politicians.

They’re absolutely right.

All we’ve heard for months from Democrat members of Congress, governors, mayors, and other radical politicians are exaggerations, incitement, and flat-out lies about the federal effort to legally deport criminal aliens and all we’ve seen in response are daily riots, protests, and direct attacks against both Immigration Custom, and Enforcement (ICE) agents and Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) officers.

And the mainstream media has been only too happy to parrot that dangerous rhetoric while also largely ignoring their own role in bringing about harm to law enforcement officers.

While the committee updated the policy on June 18, it was not made public until this week.

The change was made with little publicity, and the policy update was so understated it would be difficult to detect without it being pointed out.

In Section 3.3 of the 27-page document, the committee added an addendum entitled “Additional Requirements” which states:

“The USOPC is committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport. The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities, e.g., IOC, IPC, NGBs, to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act.”

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A raid by U.S.-led forces in northwestern Syria on Friday killed a senior leader in the Islamic State militant group, the U.S. military said Friday.

The U.S. Central Command said in a statement that it had killed IS leader Dhiya Zawba Muslih al-Hardan and his two adult sons, who were also affiliated with the group, early Friday in a raid in the town of al-Bab, in Syria’s Aleppo province.

It said the men “posed a threat to U.S. and Coalition Forces, as well as the new Syrian Government,” adding that three women and three children at the site were not harmed.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based war monitor, said the raid was carried out through an airdrop of forces, the first of its kind to be carried out by the U.S.-led coalition against IS this year, and that ground forces from both the Syrian government’s General Security forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces participated.

The observatory said the operation was “preceded by a tight security cordon around the targeted site, a heavy deployment of forces on the ground, and the presence of coalition helicopters in the airspace of the area.”

Stage 19 of the 21-stage competition through the mountains from Albertville to La Plagne was cut from nearly 130km to 95km (81 miles to 59 miles), eliminating two of the five planned climbs.

Excerpt:

 

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is launching digital ads targeting a dozen Republican-held House districts, calling for the release of files related to financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

One ad features Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) calling the controversy a “serious issue” and saying that the highest volume of calls to her office have concerned the Epstein files, while another calls out the House GOP with the caption “House Republicans shut down Congress to bury the truth.”

A clip of President Trump standing next to Epstein plays in the background of the latter.

Both ads tell viewers to call their representatives and demand that the Epstein files are released.

Momentum had been building among Democrats and some Republicans for Congress to vote to force the Trump administration to release the documents related to the case. But House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced the body would start its summer recess a day early as Democrats sought to force votes in the Rules Committee to release the files, dividing Republicans.

Democrats have sought to use the lingering controversy as a way to go on offense against Trump and the Republican Party, accusing them of protecting pedophiles. The topic of the Epstein files has received significant national attention for a few weeks since the Justice Department memo stating the Epstein didn’t have a “client list,” as has been alleged, and that the department wouldn’t release additional documents to protect alleged victims.

Excerpt:

What did former President Barack Obama know about the Russia collusion hoax, and when did he know it?

In short, it looks as if he knew everything from the beginning, because it appears that he ordered it.

On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a 114-page PDF filled with declassified documents detailing the origins of what she said was a years-long, Obama-directed coup against President Donald Trump.

Gabbard has characterized her findings as a “treasonous conspiracy” based on “manufactured intelligence.”

A key piece of evidence appeared on page 72 of Gabbard’s Friday documents dump. That file indicates that then-DNI James Clapper would take the lead on an inter-agency effort to fashion a narrative regarding Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election that contravened the intelligence community’s (IC) previous assessments.

“The IC is prepared to produce an assessment per the President’s request, that pulls together the information we have on the tools Moscow used and the actions it took to influence the 2016 election, an explanation of why Moscow directed these activities, and how Moscow’s approach has changed over time, going back to 2008 and 2012 as reference points,” the declassified document read.
