The GOP’s majority in the House is only 5 votes, 217 to 212. Thanks to a significant handful of GOP representatives taking days off, the House has had a Democratic majority on numerous occasions. So far, the Democrats haven’t exploited this, but it is now on their radar, as politicsususa, a progressive content marketer, has noticed as well.

The Federal Judicial Center (FJC) has had its fair share of controversies throughout the past year.

The taxpayer-funded agency was caught stuffing citations to left-wing climate activists into its most recent Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, which offers guidance to federal judges on science-related cases. Subsequent Federalist investigations also revealed the radical left-wing partisanship of the authors tasked with writing manual’s climate and forensics sections.

The FJC is intended to serve as the unbiased educational and research arm of the judiciary. Although it doesn’t have any “policy-making or enforcement authority,” these findings have raised concerns about its objectivity and central role in providing “accurate, objective information and education” to judges across America’s federal court system.

CBS News failed to correct a false claim that Karmelo Anthony, the black teenager who was convicted of murdering white teen Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, was convicted by an “all-white jury” during an interview with Anthony’s family.

While speaking with the outlet after the verdict, Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, stated that what stood out to him was “the all-white jury.”

Court records and reporting indicate that the final 12-person jury included no black members. The final panel of 18 (including six alternates) had greater diversity, however, with courtroom reporters noting minorities such as Asian and Indian individuals among the jurors and alternates.

Ever since 19-year-old Karmello Anthony was convicted on Tuesday in the murder of a teenager last year, his supporters have been forced to go to extremes to find ways not to blame the killer for the crime.

They’ve blamed “white supremacy” for the prosecution — Anthony is black, his victim was white. They’ve blamed racism among prosecutors for keeping blacks off the jury.

And on Wednesday, his father put the blame, at least in part, on his son’s “white attorney” for the fact that Karmelo is going to prison.

Media personality Mimi Brown — a fixture on the black-oriented radio program “The Breakfast Club” — spoke to Anthony’s parents, Kayla Hayes and Andrew Anthony, during an interview Wednesday.

At one point, she asked the two, “So, do you believe your son received a fair trial?”

Both replied, “absolutely not” and Hayes promised to “keep fighting.” Brown also asked if the two would have done anything differently.

If you were hoping these parents would say something about raising their son not to stab other kids, or teaching him to be mature and walk away in a conflict that could escalate, you’ll be disappointed.

The U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights division announced Thursday, June 11, that the University of California, Davis School of Medicine (Davis Med) violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by discriminating on the basis of race in its admissions process. The determination follows a six-month investigation prompted by concerns over post-2023 affirmative action practices.

The findings center on Davis Med’s efforts to maintain racial diversity after the Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (SFFA) decision, which banned race-based admissions in higher education. The DOJ concluded that the school intentionally circumvented this ruling by using socioeconomic proxies for race.

Progressive city council member Nithya Raman has advanced to a November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, setting up an unexpected matchup between two Democrats and former political allies to run the struggling city of nearly four million people.

The outcome means Spencer Pratt, a Republican and former reality television personality from The Hills, is out of the running. His candidacy had drawn national attention because of his celebrity and willingness to challenge liberal governance in a city dominated by Democrats, but the buzz did not translate into enough votes to make the runoff.

Violence is wrong. This is what happens when a government ignores its citizens, sacrifices their security, and leaves them feeling like strangers in their own country. No one is surprised by the rage its failures ultimately provoke.

CBS:  Violent anti-immigration protests erupted in parts of Belfast on Tuesday evening with some masked demonstrators setting fire to a bus, cars, trash cans and homes. Far-right figures had called on social media for mass protests after a brutal stabbing attack the previous night in Northern Ireland’s capital.

A graphic video of the incident, showing a man slashing another man in the head and neck with a knife, spread quickly online earlier in the day. The Police Service of Northern Ireland detained and charged a Sudanese man in his 30s with attempted murder, possession of a knife in a public place and making threats to kill.

Most people with at least half a brain understand that what Karmelo Anthony did is legally defined as murder. This has nothing to do with the color of his skin. It should also not be controversial to throw convicted murderers in prison. But because this man had a certain skin color, many people with low IQs have a problem with this. And one of those low-IQ losers appears to be allegedly on the hunt for people who were on the jury that convicted the murderer.

After a Sudanese national apparently attempted to brutally behead a man in Belfast, Ireland, The New York Times on June 10 claimed the real concern was “anti-immigrant sentiment,” not how the U.K.’s open border policies enabled the attack.

Video from the attack, which went viral on social media, shows the migrant attacking a native U.K. citizen named Steven Ogilvy in an apparent attempted beheading. The New York Times (NYT) article does not describe the attack until four paragraphs in, and does not use the word “beheading” once. The article also buries information about the suspect, including the fact that he was a Sudanese who may have fraudulently claimed refugee status, in the eleventh paragraph.

He entered a guilty plea on Thursday after reaching a deal with federal prosecutors that avoids the possibility of a death penalty trial.

Vance Boelter, the man accused of killing a former Minnesota House speaker and her husband last year in what investigators called a targeted act of political violence entered a guilty plea on Thursday after reaching a deal with federal prosecutors that avoids the possibility of a death penalty trial, reports NBC News.

A handwritten letter reportedly found in Boelter’s abandoned car contained a series of claims about Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, alleging he “wanted me to kill” U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith so Walz could run for a Senate seat.

He appeared in an orange jail jumpsuit and confirmed in court that he carried out the crimes. When asked by the judge if he conducted surveillance on the victims beforehand, Boelter said, “yes.”

Thelma Anderson, a black legal activist, appeared on Roland Martin Unfiltered and went to work rolling out all the buzzards to inflame a race war. Anderson defended Anthony, then went further by casting the supporters of Austin Metcalf’s family as the villains in her story.

“First and foremost, the one thing that I would axe for people to do at this moment is pray for the Anthony family because they have been legally lynched for the last year and more so by this slaughterhouse of a courthouse as well as the family of the Metcalfs,” she said. “The energy right now is very white supremacy.

But a look at the donation tracker, even hours after the verdict and sentence were announced, reveals that donations are continuing to pour in. This, despite the fact that the fund’s purpose is listed as “legal defense,” and Anthony has already been tried and convicted.

However, Anthony’s mother, Kala Hayes, also lists family-related costs.

A Sudanese asylum seeker accused of blinding a Belfast man in one eye during a stabbing attack appeared in court Wednesday as anti-immigrant unrest spread across Northern Ireland.

Hadi Alodid, 30, was ordered to be held in jail after appearing by video in Belfast Magistrates’ Court, where prosecutors accused him of blinding Stephen Ogilvie in his left eye during Monday’s attack.

Alodid was charged with attempted murder, threatening to kill a radiographer and possessing a knife. He declined legal representation through an Arabic interpreter and did not enter a plea.

The attack, which occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. Monday in north Belfast and was captured in graphic video footage that quickly spread online, sparked outrage and fueled demonstrations that turned violent overnight. Police said Ogilvie, a man in his 40s, suffered serious injuries to his face, neck, back and eyes, and officers recovered what they believe was a kitchen knife from the scene.

Trump was right. Jasmine Crockett is truly one of the most low-IQ members of society — and it might not even be close.

Crockett said her heart breaks for the Karmelo Anthony verdict. This is because she believes a young man will be sent to prison for 35 years when he has his whole life ahead of him. And no, she did not mention that another young man’s life was forever taken far too early. She was not concerned about the victim or the family.

Per TMZ:

Rep. Crockett doesn’t hold back as she explains why the case hits close to home … and why race and venue played a huge role.

One thing she makes abundantly clear … she doesn’t think Anthony got a fair shake … especially in front of a jury that did not have a single Black juror.

Rep. Crockett feels Anthony’s claim that he was afraid during the fatal confrontation at a high school track meet was largely dismissed … and she questions whether jurors would’ve viewed the situation differently if the races were reversed.

President Donald Trump’s ongoing war with Iran is draining America’s emergency supply of crude oil — which is just days away from hitting its lowest level in more than 40 years, according to a report Wednesday.

Since March, Trump has tapped 66 million gallons of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep exports flowing and prevent Americans from seeing their price at the pumps reach new heights, Fortune said.

The reserve dipped to a 3-year low of 349.2 million barrels on June 5 and is being depleted at a rate of nearly 9 million barrels a week.
