Gov. Pritzker Calls U.S. Troops ‘Invaders’ — and Invading Illegal Aliens ‘Our Neighbors and Friends’ – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Welcome to the upside-down, inside-out world of Gov. JB Pritzker (D-Ill.). It’s Orwellian Newspeak on steroids: white is black, wet is dry, and fat is… well, fat is still fat. (Even Newspeak has its limits.)

Yesterday morning, President Trump posted on Truth Social a tongue-in-cheek, “Apocalypse Now”-themed promise to deport the illegal aliens who’ve invaded Chicago, Ill. — a state with over half-a-million illegal aliens. That’s fifth most in the entire country.

Here was his post:

It’s not coincidence or happenstance that Illinois became the go-to destination for half a million illegal aliens. This was Gov. Pritzker’s deliberate policy: Illinois is a sanctuary state — a safe haven for illegal invaders — and Pritzker signed a slew of laws to further protect them from the federal government:

Mom Pretends She’s on Vacation, Her Family Learns Later She Traveled for Assisted Suicide– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

An Irish woman told her family that she was going on vacation, but instead she went to Switzerland to die by assisted suicide.

The family of Maureen Slough, 58, of Cavan, Ireland, is now saying that the procedures of the clinic that facilitated her death were not sufficient to allow family members the chance to stop Slough.

Megan Royal explained that her mother said she was off to vacation in Lithuania, according to People. Then the truth emerged.

“A close friend of hers messaged me on the Wednesday night, possibly at like 10 p.m. I was in bed with the baby,” the mother of two said. “He just replied like, ‘Your mom’s in Switzerland.’ He’s like, ‘You have a right to know. I was sworn to secrecy. She’s there and she wants assisted suicide.’ I was so scared in that moment.”

Royal eventually contacted her father, who contacted Slough. Although Slough said she would come home, Royal learned the next day her mother was dead.

“What was worse was not only did I get the text on WhatsApp, they had advised me that her ashes would be posted to me in 6-8 weeks,” she said. “In that very moment, because I was alone, I just sat there with the baby and cried… I just felt like my world ended.”

Pegasos, an assisted dying nonprofit in Liestal, Switzerland, was paid £15,000. The Irish Independent reported that Slough paid out €15,000, which is about £13,000, according to Wise.

Professor ‘kidnapped’ by ICE indicted for assaulting federal officers

The California State University professor whom the California Faculty Association claimed was “kidnapped” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has officially been indicted by a grand jury for assaulting federal officers.

In July, the CFA had alleged ICE tossed CSU Channel Islands professor Jonathan Caravello into an unmarked vehicle “without identifying themselves” or giving a reason for the arrest.

The night before the incident, Caravello had told the City of Camarillo Council that he was “patrolling the city streets following armed masked thugs trying to kidnap my [undocumented] neighbors.”

Caravello, who teaches math and philosophy and researches epistemology, rationality, and “transcendental arguments,” became involved with a protest against an ICE raid of the Glass House Farms marijuana facility.

Despite complaints by the CFA and the university that Caravello was “peacefully” demonstrating, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said the professor was arrested for throwing a tear gas canister at officers.

The corruption at the CDC just got blown wide open.

During a bombshell appearance on Fox & Friends Sunday, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that former CDC vaccine chief Demetre Daskalakis actively stonewalled life-saving funds meant for Texas during a dangerous measles outbreak, and then blocked RFK Jr. himself from accessing critical vaccine safety data for seven straight months.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Daskalakis bolted from his role as Director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases just hours after CDC Director Susan Monarez was unceremoniously ousted.

His exit came the very same day RFK Jr. announced sweeping reforms to dismantle the failed vaccine mandates that crushed our economy and stripped away Americans’ freedoms.

A new intelligence unit within the UK’s National Police Coordination Centre (NPoCC) will begin monitoring social media for early signs of anti-migrant unrest, as authorities respond to renewed demonstrations across parts of England. The move follows concerns of a repeat of last summer’s violent outbreaks that were triggered by misinformation and civil disorder, as reported by The Guardian.

The policing minister, Diana Johnson, informed Members of Parliament on Sunday that the Home Office is considering the formation of a dedicated “national internet intelligence investigations team.” This team will be embedded within the NPoCC and tasked with identifying potential threats by analysing online activity, helping local forces respond more quickly to emerging risks.

The Illinois Baptist State Association, or IBSA, is a community of nearly 1,000 Baptist churches, ministries, and missions, dedicated to advancing the Gospel across the Land of Lincoln.

Today, they face a heart-wrenching dilemma. Rooted in their belief that life is sacred from conception, IBSA has provided health insurance as an Illinois employer for its 20-plus employees and retirees for over a century—always excluding abortion coverage.

But Illinois’ 2019 Reproductive Health Act forces IBSA to choose between providing health insurance or funding abortion, directly violating its deeply held faith. (Keep reading to find out how we’re fighting back!)

The RHA mandates that all employer health insurance plans cover chemical and surgical abortions. And anytime they’ve sought an exemption, the reply has been “no.” This abortion coverage mandate has turned IBSA’s commitment to care for its employees into a moral crisis.

A federal judge denied the Trump administration’s request to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury materials on Wednesday, calling it a “diversion.”

Judge Richard Berman, a Clinton appointee, noted the testimony “is merely a hearsay snippet of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged conduct” in his 14-page ruling.

“The Government is the logical party to make comprehensive disclosure to the public of the Epstein Files,” he wrote. “By comparison, the instant grand jury motion appears to be a ‘diversion’ from the breadth and scope of the Epstein files in the Government’s possession.”

Two federal judges previously rejected efforts to unseal transcripts in Epstein’s Florida case and Ghislaine Maxwell’s case. The Department of Justice (DOJ) petitioned to unseal the transcripts in July following a directive from President Donald Trump.

Big Tech workers are top Mamdani campaign donors, far exceeding Andrew Cuomo

NY Post reports;

Big Tech workers, including from Google and Meta, were among the biggest group of donors to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign — creating a fresh headache for companies in the Big Apple that could feel the brunt of the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist’s policies, The Post has learned.

The 33-year-old upstart has spooked New York business and tech leaders — many of whom fear that his vow to raise taxes on the wealthy and past calls to defund the police will spark a mass exodus similar to what San Francisco experienced under progressive leaders in recent years.

However, their underlings have thrown their financial support behind the front-runner for City Hall.

Rank-and-file Google employees donated nearly $40,500 to Mamdani’s campaign through July 11 — more than any other company or institution, according to NYC campaign finance data reviewed by The Post.

Meta workers chipped in more than $10,500, ranking seventh on the list, followed by Amazon employees, who donated nearly $9,000.

A cherished French bakery in Jefferson County, Colorado, is facing potential closure because of the county’s harsh enforcement of exclusionary zoning regulations. This situation underscores how overly restrictive regulations create unnecessary hurdles that stifle entrepreneurship, especially when the local economy is struggling.

Lookout Mountain, Colorado, is celebrated for its breathtaking views, luxurious homes, and as the final resting place of Buffalo Bill. Just 12 miles from downtown Denver, it has become a must-visit destination for hikers, mountain bikers, and tourists from all over the globe.

This charming mountain community has long grappled with one significant drawback: the lack of a quality café. For many years, residents and visitors have had to travel to the nearby city of Golden for a decent cup of coffee or tasty pastries. So both locals and tourists were thrilled when a French bakery, Et Voilà!, opened less than half a mile from Buffalo Bill’s Museum and Grave.

Et Voilà! — meaning “Here you go” in French — is run by a passionate trio of French immigrants: husband-and-wife team Eric and Rachel Dufour, along with Rachel’s sister, Ruth. After leaving a successful career as an economist, Ruth pursued her passion for baking at renowned chef Olivier Bajard’s pastry school. The Dufours want to share their love for authentic French cuisine with the Lookout Mountain community, creating a welcoming space for locals and visitors. They also count on the bakery’s financial success to support their nonprofit, Serving Alongside Ministry (SAM), which provides counseling services for Christian organizations and leaders globally.

New details have emerged surrounding the investigation into former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who may have allowed a foreign government to gain access to classified intelligence when publishing a memoir in 2020, according to a bombshell report from the New York Times.

Despite constant allegations from Democrats and mainstream media pundits of political targeting on the part of the Trump Administration, The Times reported that the current investigation into Bolton “began to pick up steam” during the Biden presidency. Intelligence officials began to investigate after obtaining evidence that he may have mishandled classified information, according to unnamed sources familiar with the inquiry.

Credible accusations against Bolton first surfaced in 2020, when the Trump Administration filed a lawsuit attempting to block the release of his book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.” The government argued that Bolton did not go through the proper vetting process with the National Security Council when drafting the book, a mandatory process for government officials seeking to publish works that may contain classified information.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth refused to block the publication, but only because it was too late. He did conclude, however, that Bolton “likely published classified materials” and had “exposed his country to harm.” He later allowed the wider lawsuit to go forward, which was ultimately dismissed by the Biden Administration in 2021.

Fox News Host Says MN Shooter’s Trans Identity Is Irrelevant – trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

Fox News host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, who primarily goes by just “Kennedy” on the network, argued during Wednesday’s installment of “The Five” that Robin Westman’s transgender identity is irrelevant when discussing Wednesday’s mass shooting targeting a Catholic school in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Westman — a biological male who started “identifying” as a female when he was 17 — indiscriminately opened fire on students as they were attending a school-wide mass on Wednesday morning. Two children, aged 8 and 10 were killed, while 14 other students and three additional adults were wounded. Thankfully, all of those injured are expected to survive.

The gunman uploaded a number of disturbing videos prior to carrying out the attack, many of which contained anti-Christian imagery and nods to far-left extremism. Westman scribbled a number of messages on his weapons, including “Where is your god,” “I’m the woker, why so queerious” and “Kill Donald Trump.”

MSNBC Host Trashes Christians, Refers To Prayer As A ‘Lie’ –  trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele — who now works as a partisan left-wing host for MSNBC — trashed Christians and conservatives for offering prayers in the aftermath of Wednesday’s shooting targeting the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

While speaking on a panel that included U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and longtime Democratic Party operative Symone Sanders, Steele said that he agrees with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s stance on the “trans community.” After a transgender-identifying gunman killed two children and wounded several others, the far-left mayor has repeatedly stated that the city must stand by its “trans community” and protect them from “abuse” and “harassment.”

“As an elected official, you are on the ground with your folks and you appreciate this journey. I agree with the mayor,” Steele said.

“The thoughts and prayers, I’m so beyond, so beyond that nonsense, the lie of that,” he added with a look of pure disgust on his face. “Because what we have are people who continue to stand in the way of actually doing something to stop the violence against their own kids. It is amazing to me. We watch young kids die in classrooms and now in church, and all we get are thoughts and prayers.”

If you needed evidence that biased misinformation is more harmful than no information, you needed to look no further than CNN on Wednesday morning.

Just a little while earlier, the news had emerged that a shooter had opened fire on Catholic students in Mass at a school in Minneapolis. School had just started on Monday, and the Wednesday morning service had been meant to mark the beginning of the school year.

At 11 a.m. ET, it was known that the shooter was dead, and it was known that many were injured, although the exact number or if any were dead had been unreported. What wasn’t known was that the shooter was an anti-God, anti-Jewish, anti-Trump transgender former student with serious mental health issues who left a number of messages to that effect on the guns he used. This would become an optics problem for the liberal media as the day unfolded.

On Wednesday, Robert “Robin” Westman committed a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Westman killed two students, ages 8 and 10. Seventeen others were also wounded, some critically, though all are expected to survive. It led to the discovery of two videos, one showing the manifesto being revealed, some of which was written in Cyrillic, and another showing the arsenal of weapons that were assembled for the assault.

“Kill Donald Trump” and other rantings were inscribed on the magazines. There were also a slew of antisemitic and anti-religious scribblings, too. Westman was unhinged. Still, the FBI says it’s now investigating this as an act of anti-Catholic domestic terrorism:

Saving Kids From Trans Contagion Will Take More Than Laws – thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

While the Trump administration and many state legislatures are showing it is possible to ban transgender child mutilation procedures, the top contributing factors to children adopting a transgender identity haven’t gone away. Those include family breakdown, psychological abuse, and leftist-controlled mass media. Government can affect these factors, but not quickly.

This means the transgender social contagion will last some time, especially in culturally leftist locales. How can compassionate friends help these sufferers among us?

Embracing God’s Design, a magazine-like, easy-to-read new book by Dr. Jennifer Bauwens and Walt Heyer, gives some evidence-based ideas. The book details where transgenderism comes from historically, psychologically, and politically, and how to respond in a way that expresses genuine love for those who suffer from it. It is a how-to manual for parents, teachers, pastors, churchgoers, and anyone else who interacts with a sexually confused person — which at this point is most Americans.

One sticker on the journal reads “Defend Equality,” featuring an image of a machine gun imposed on top of a pride flag. Others display the Nintendo character Luigi, a reference to Luigi Mangione — the man who assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.

As reported earlier, Westman uploaded disturbing videos to YouTube prior to the attack, lacing them with pop culture allusions and tributes to notorious mass killers. In the recordings, Westman is shown handling several firearms and ammunition magazines, alongside a target board affixed with an image of Jesus Christ.

Westman declares, “This message brought to you by BlackRock and Exxon Mobil, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon” near the beginning of the video. The footage has since circulated widely online. According to police, the rampage left at least two children dead and 17 people injured — 14 of them minors — when gunfire erupted at a Catholic school during morning mass.

The proposal comes as the president is amid trade talks with China, and backers of the plan could be necessary to keep certain universities afloat, whereas others say it could hinder the opportunities of American students.

“I hear so many stories that we’re not going to allow their students,” Trump told reporters as trade talks with China are ongoing.

“We’re going to allow their students to come in. It’s very important, 600,000 students. It’s very important. But we’re going to get along with China,” he continued.

Trump expanded on his comments during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday.

I think it’s very insulting to say students can’t come here because they’ll go out and start building schools and they’ll be able to survive it. But I like that their students come here. I like that other countries’ students come here. And you know what would happen if they didn’t? Our college system would go to hell very quickly. And it wouldn’t be the top colleges, so it’d be colleges that struggle on the bottom. And you take out 300,000 or 600,000 students out of the system,” Trump said.

I like having, and I told this to President Xi that we’re honored to have their students here. Now, with that, we check in with careful and we see who’s there,” he added.

What happened today at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis was a horrific tragedy.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the identity of the shooter by now, but in case you haven’t, the gunman was a mentally-ill, transgender man named Robin Westman.

Before gunning down several children at the school, Westman posted a series of disturbing social media videos.

Some of them showed his guns and magazines, on which he scrawled messages — including “Kill Donald Trump.”

However, ABC News’ coverage of that message is highly questionable, to say the least.

In fact, in an apparent attempt to paint Westman as a Trump supporter, ABC News refused to say the exact message.

Instead, correspondent Aaron Katersky vaguely referenced that “President Trump’s name” was written on the gun…
