Excerpt:

MEXICO CITY — Judicial candidates closely linked to Mexico’s ruling party have swept every position on the nation’s newly transformed Supreme Court, according to final results released Wednesday from the controversial judicial vote.

The nine incoming justices on the high court have strong ties to the dominant Morena bloc headed by President Claudia Sheinbaum, and their election signals a radical shift in Mexico’s balance of power.

Among them is a new chief justice, Hugo Aguilar, who would become the country’s first top jurist of Indigenous origin since the legendary Benito Juárez, who also served as president, more than a century and a half ago.

Electoral regulators still must validate the vote, though that is viewed as a formality. The Supreme Court justices, along with almost 900 other newly elected federal jurists, are scheduled to take office Sept. 1.

Rally is held as British PM Keir Starmer calls Israel’s actions ‘intolerable’, addressing lawmakers in Parliament.

Pro-Palestine campaigners have rallied against Israel’s punishing war on Gaza, gathering outside the British Parliament in London and demanding a full arms embargo and that hard-hitting sanctions be imposed on the Israeli government.

Wednesday’s march, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), came as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer took weekly questions from parliamentarians.

Thousands of protesters created a “Red Line for Palestine”, wearing red while encircling the building.

Starmer told Parliament that Israel’s actions in the besieged and bombarded enclave are “appalling” and “intolerable”.

“It is right to describe these days as dark,” Starmer said. “We have strongly opposed the expansion of Israeli military operations, and settler violence, and the blocking of humanitarian aid.”

Israel said that it will “act accordingly” to stop the Freedom Flotilla Coalition carrying climate activist Greta Thunberg, who is en route to the Gaza Strip.

Thunberg, 22, a Swedish eco-warrior, set sail this week aboard the Madleen hoisting a Palestinian flag with 11 other activists. It will try to reach the shores of the Gaza Strip to bring in some aid and raise awareness over the humanitarian crisis there.

“We are doing this because, no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying,” Thunberg said.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed Wednesday that it was monitoring the flotilla.

“For this case as well, we are prepared,” IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin told the Times of London. “We have gained experience in recent years, and we will act accordingly.”

 

Vigil held for victims of Boulder firebombing attack as suspect’s family fights deportation– abcnews.go.com

BOULDER, Colo. — Hundreds of people squeezed into the Jewish Community Center in Boulder, Colorado, for a vigil that featured prayer, singing and emotional testimony from a victim and witnesses of the firebombing attack in the city’s downtown, while a federal judge has blocked the deportation of the suspect’s family.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, has been charged with a federal hate crime and state counts of attempted murder in Sunday’s attack on a group demonstrating for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. He is being held in a county jail on a $10 million cash bond and is scheduled to make an appearance in state court on Thursday.

Witnesses say Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at the group and authorities say he confessed to the attack that injured 15 people.

Rachelle Halpern, who has been walking with the group since 2023, said during Wednesday evening’s vigil that she remembers thinking it was strange to see a man with a canister looking like he was going to spray pesticide on the grass. Then she heard a crash and screams and saw flames around her feet.

“A woman stood one foot behind me, engulfed in flames from head to toe, lying on the ground with her husband,” she said. “People immediately, three or four men immediately rushed to her to smother the flames.”

‘The View’ Host: Elon Musk Killed 300,000 People with DOGE Cuts – ‘Mostly Children’– slaynews.com

ABC News propaganda show “The View” has pushed wild claims about Elon Musk’s service to the U.S. federal government.

On Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin launched an eyebrow-raising attack on Musk.

Hostin blamed Musk, without citing any specific evidence, for the loss of “300,000 lives, mostly children.”

She attributed this alleged death toll to Musk’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The initiative is focused on streamlining the federal government.

As part of the endeavor, DOGE proposed cuts in personnel, contracts, and foreign aid.

“But the damage that he did was just really incredible,” Hostin said.

Excerpt:

Former ESPN and MSNBC host Keith Olbermann opened his Countdown podcast Tuesday with a segment which could only be described as the ravings of a lunatic. The topic of his ten-minute tirade:  “the blood of Boulder, Colorado, is on the hands of Donald Trump.” If that relatively unsupported claim didn’t seem extreme enough, Olbermann doubled down, describing Trump’s “ethnic cleansing” policy, which supposedly exclusively targeted the innocent illegal immigrants while ignoring actual criminals.

In Olbermann’s own words:

They are looking for innocent people and those guilty of misdemeanors or things less than misdemeanors to purge, to remove, to cleanse! We got little notice last week, but Rubio, rapidly rising to the top of the hypocrisy charts to replace even Lindsey Graham for largest percentage of soul sold, announced a reorganization of the State Department that would in essence eliminate all efforts inside that department to provide a haven here for foreign nationals who have helped this country, like the thousands of people in Afghanistan who fought the Taliban with us before Trump surrendered to the Taliban. It would eliminate that department and replace it with, quote, “the Office of Remigration.”

The relationship between President Trump and Elon Musk rapidly disintegrated on Thursday, fulfilling predictions of a messy breakup that the world’s most powerful man and its richest man had defied for months.

Trump told reporters in an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that he was “very surprised” and “very disappointed” in Musk, who spent millions of dollars to help Trump get elected, served in his administration for four months but has since mounted a campaign against the president’s signature policy bill.

Musk responded on social media, claiming credit for Trump’s electoral victory last November.

It was a dramatic turnaround for the two men, who just days ago were together in the Oval Office as Trump presented Musk a ceremonial key to the White House.

Republicans Are At Each Other’s Throats As Elon Musk And Mike Johnson Go To War Over Big Beautiful Bill– www.politicususa.com

Excerpt:

There is only one question that needs to be answered when assessing Elon Musk’s criticism of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Does Musk have the political juice with Republicans to derail the legislation?

This all started when Musk posted to X:

I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

Musk went on to criticize the bill for adding to the deficit.

The post rocked Republicans in Congress just as the Senate is starting work on changes to the legislation.

Speaker Mike Johnson responded to Musk by starting out with political niceties, but his remarks to reporters transitioned into:

 I know that the, the EV mandate is very important to him. That is going away because the government should not be subsidizing these things as part of the Green New Deal. And I, I know that has an effect on his business.

And I lament that we, we talked about the ramp down period on that and, and how that should be duly considered by Congress, but for him to come out and hand the whole bill, is to me just very disappointing, very surprising in light of the conversation I had with him yesterday.

Johnson was asked if Musk’s concern for Tesla is driving this and he answered:

I’m gonna let others draw their own conclusions about that, but this is not personal between any of us. I just, I, I just deeply regret that he is made this, this mistake. I would tell you, listen, I’m gonna remind everybody again. Every hardworking American ought to be in favor of this bill…

And that is a dangerous thing for Elon or anyone who has, um, who cares about the US economy to, to be meddling with. And I think the risk is very great. We have to pass this legislation. The Senate is doing some good, thoughtful, deliberate work right now. We’re looking forward to moving it through the process and this, and the president is very much looking forward to signing that into law by Independence Day.

And yes, that’s under oath.

Joe Biden Claims He Made All the Decisions in the White House; Says Any Suggestion He Didn’t is ‘Ridiculous and False’ › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Excerpt:

Joe Biden on Thursday insisted that he made all the decisions during his tenure in the White House and called any suggestions to the contrary “ridiculous and false.”

Biden’s comments came one day after President Donald Trump issued a Presidential Memorandum directing his White House counsel, in consultation with the Attorney General Pam Bondi, to investigate Biden’s executive actions, including his pardons and the use of an autopen for signatures. The president also ordered an investigation into efforts by Biden’s top aides to hide his cognitive decline.

The Memorandum directs an investigation into whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.

The Memorandum also mandates an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Biden’s purported execution of the numerous executive actions during his final years in office, examining policy documents signed with an autopen, who authorized its use, and the validity of the resulting Presidential policy decisions.

Elon Musk is still going after the Big Beautiful Bill, using whatever he can to get his point across. Today’s show breaks it down.

“You can argue that these cuts aren’t enough to offset the tax cut extension, but there’s no debating the fact that the left loves what Elon Musk is doing—and how he’s doing it,” Crowder said. “Even if you disagree, you’d better be absolutely sure, and make sure the left can’t use it to hurt your brothers and sisters in office.”

According to Musk, the bill would destroy any gains made by Doge.

“I understand that we cannot spend our way into prosperity, but the entire deficit increase comes from the extended tax cuts,” Crowder said.

According to the White House:

So-called “forecasts” (including by the CBO) predicting higher deficits are based on a false assumption that President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts will expire. In reality, extending the CURRENT tax rates — which this legislation does — has zero impact on the deficit.

Of course, the $1.7 trillion savings is partly offset by one-time spending on border security and additional tax cuts (NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME) — which brings the net deficit reduction to exactly $1.407 trillion.

One of the key instruments of the big steal is heading to the Supremes. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a Republican lawmaker’s challenge to an Illinois state law requiring election authorities to count mail-in ballots received up to two weeks after Election Day.

Making it more difficult to “win in overtime.”

Politico: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a Republican lawmaker’s challenge to an Illinois state law requiring election authorities to count mail-in ballots received up to two weeks after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked or certified by the voter as being cast by that date. The lawsuit brought by six-term Rep. Mike Bost is one of a series of cases President Donald Trump’s allies have filed seeking to exclude votes received after Election Day from official results (Politico).

Story continues below advertisement

Capitol News Illinois: The Supreme Court said its ruling will focus on whether Bost, of Murphysboro, in his role as a political candidate has legal grounds to sue over a state’s election law, rather than if Illinois’ mail-in voting law is legal, because the appeal challenges lower court rulings that Bost did not legal grounds to sue. A favorable ruling for Bost by the Supreme Court could force lower courts to issue a ruling about Illinois’ law…. Under Illinois law, ballots postmarked by Election Day can be counted as late as 14 days after the election as they arrive at local election offices. Bost’s case argues this violates the federal law establishing Election Day by allowing votes to arrive and be counted for two weeks after the polls close. (Capitol News).

Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) is now at the center of a massive controversy of her own making after she made a highly offensive comment to her constituents about immigrants. The statement was made during a town hall event in Newport, Vermont, in response to a question about current U.S. immigration policy.

In her response to the question, Balint said that a crackdown on illegal immigration will leave residents of the state without “anyone around to wipe our a–es.”

“Our economy is completely bound up in immigration and migrant labor,” Balint said to her constituents during the event. “We have to come to a place in Congress where it is no longer a political issue, but we see it as an existential issue for the country.”

“If we don’t have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here, I’m going to be really crude right now — we’re not going to have anybody around to wipe our a–es because we don’t have enough people in our country now to fill the jobs that we have,” she continued.

“The quality of the institution would be so much better and that’s what I want, because we need high-quality universities. Right now, the problem is we don’t have them.”

Vice President JD Vance slammed Harvard University on Tuesday and said that the Ivy League institution was lacking “ideological diversity” and likened its political environment to that of North Korea, according to Fox News.

Speaking at the New World Gala hosted by American Compass in Washington, DC, Vance said he believes around 95 percent of Harvard’s faculty voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the last presidential election. He added that universities across the country have become “almost quasi-theocratic, or quasi-totalitarian societies.”

“If you ask yourself, a foreign election, a foreign country’s election, you say 80% of the people voted for one candidate, you would say, ‘Oh, that’s kind of weird, right? That’s like, not a super healthy democracy,’” Vance explained. “If you said, ‘Oh, 95% of people voted for one party’s candidate,’ you would say, ‘That’s North Korea, right… That is impossible in a true place of free exchange for that to happen.'”

He openly advocated for the death of then-President-elect Donald Trump, hailing himself as an “assassin” and threatening to shoot the would-be 47th commander-in-chief shortly after the election, prosecutors say.

Those words, left on Facebook posts, are at the center of a federal grand jury indictment. On Tuesday, Yucca Valley resident Thomas Eugene Streavel, 73, pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of making threats.

The San Bernardino County man was arrested Monday just before 11 a.m. by United States Marshals and arraigned the next day inside Central District Court in Riverside.

He’s out on a $10,000 bond and is expected back in court July 28. Streavel could serve up to 15 years in prison if found guilty on all counts.
