Karmelo Anthony has been convicted of first-degree murder for the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf. Both were young men in high school at the time of the murder. Anthony’s conviction has triggered calls from progressives and black activists that the jury was racist, the parents of the dead boy are racist, and Karmelo should be free to spend his hundreds of thousands of GoFundMe dollars.

The Justice Department defended its authority to ensure “fair” elections in California after it launched multiple election fraud investigations coupled with litigation over voter registration.
California has long been known for liberal practices such as ballot harvesting, with a universal mail-in voting system that allows ballots to arrive a week after Election Day, and no voter ID requirements.
“The Department of Justice has statutory authority to enforce our nation’s election laws, including through requesting state voter rolls and monitoring returns when candidates for federal office are on the ballot,” Justice Department spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre told the Daily Signal.
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 U.S. Postal Service has announced it will not be delivering mail-in ballots for states that refuse to share their voter rolls with the Federal government. The DOJ wants to assure the names in the voting rolls match U.S. citizenship records. So far, only the Democratic Party controlled states have refused to share their information with the DOJ.

The Trump administration is making an example out of two former Utah court clerks who attempted to help illegal immigrants sneak out of a courthouse and escape arrest by federal immigration officers and avoid deportation.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Thursday threatened to arrest and prosecute anyone caught helping illegal immigrants in court evade arrest from Immigration and Customs Enforcement following a third incident in which a member of the court has tried to help defendants get away from federal police.
“We’re going to charge those,” Mullin told Fox News Thursday morning when asked about two former Utah state court clerks who are accused of trying to slip an illegal immigrant out of court unbeknownst to ICE.

According to federal officials, Said Abdullahi Ereg, a 47-year-old Somali living in Minneapolis, surrendered to authorities after being charged in connection with an alleged scheme that fraudulently obtained more than $4.2 million from a taxpayer-funded federal child nutrition program during the pandemic.
Ereg, a former Minneapolis grocery and deli owner, faces charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering.

Death threats continue to plague Department of Homeland Security officers throughout the country, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently arrested a Washington man who threatened to kill DHS officials. The suspect, Manuel Lozano, a United States citizen, threatened to shoot the federal law enforcement officers with an AR-15-style rifle during a confrontation in May.
According to DHS, Homeland Security Investigations was in pursuit of an illegal immigrant to be arrested when the suspect fled ICE and drove away in a truck on May 19. The illegal immigrant’s vehicle was later located in a residential area in Yakima, Washington, at the house of Lozano. As agents approached the house, they noticed Lozano, who they said was armed, with a pistol visible.

As part of ongoing efforts to crack down on fraud, the Trump administration is yanking nearly a billion dollars in funding from a Democrat-run homeless program in Los Angeles, CA.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding has been officially cut off after investigations revealed that the agency misspent millions of dollars and did not properly account for its spending.
Fox News was the first to report:
A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of “obvious fraud,” “wanton mismanagement” and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), part of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding while HUD’s inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership, according to a letter sent to LAHSA’s board Chair Wendy Greuel and CEO Gita O’Neill, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital.
The letter detailed conflicts of interest, financial mismanagement, fraud, lack of oversight and more from the homelessness agency, which has faced efforts by the city and county to take it over.
LAHSA receives funding at the city, county, state and federal level, with the group getting nearly $1 billion from just the federal government since 2021, according to HUD.

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.

Rebecca Bennett, a Democrat nominee for Congress in New Jersey, was caught on audio claiming she stopped going to church specifically because she could not stand sitting in the same pews as people who voted for President Donald Trump.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that it obtained audio from a February campaign event of Bennett, a Navy veteran and healthcare executive running against Republican incumbent Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. for the state’s 7th Congressional District. In the clip, Bennett answers a question about how she deals with invocations of her patriotism being considered a “right-coded way of presenting yourself.”
“I will say I use that word intentionally, and the reason that I do it is because, so, I grew up in the Presbyterian Church, and after Trump got elected, I stopped going to church for the first time in my life because I was like, ‘I cannot sit in this room of people,’” she responded. “At the time, I was stationed somewhere that was pretty conservative. I was still in the military at the time. I was like, ‘I cannot sit in this church full of people who voted for Trump.’ And then, ultimately, I decided they do not get to decide what Christianity looks like, and to me, it’s the same thing about (how) they do not get to decide what patriotism is. You do not get to wrap yourself in the flag while you are literally murdering Americans in broad daylight.” (The audio ends before Bennett elaborates on which Americans were “murdered in broad daylight.”)

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 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.
