Trump Pulling US Out of UNESCO Over ‘Pro-China, Pro-Palestine’ Slant – RedState– redstate.com

Excerpt:

UNESCO, the  United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, is an international organization that runs under the auspices of the United Nations. UNESCO’s charter is to promote “… cooperation in education, science, culture and communication to foster peace worldwide.” Among other things, UNESCO administers World Heritage sites. But in recent years, UNESCO has also been accused of slanted, pro-China, pro-Palestine stances, among other woke priorities.

On Tuesday, the New York Post broke the story that President Trump is withdrawing the United States from UNESCO due to these priorities. Under President Biden, the U.S. rejoined UNESCO in 2021, after President Reagan withdrew the U.S. from the organization in 1983.

Now we’re to be out again.

President Trump is pulling the US out of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), citing its anti-America and anti-Israel leanings as well as its woke agenda, The Post has learned.

Trump ordered a 90-day review of America’s presence in UNESCO back in February, with special emphasis on probing any “anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment within the organization.”

Upon conducting the review, administration officials took issue with UNESCO’s diversity, equity, and inclusion policies as well as its pro-Palestinian and pro-China bias, a White House official told The Post.

‘Another Win For The American People’: Appeals Court Hands Trump Admin Deportation Victory– dailycaller.com

An appellate court ruled the Trump administration can move forward with ending temporary deportation protections for thousands of Afghan and Cameroonian nationals.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is allowed to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 10,000 Afghans and Cameroonians while a court challenge against the move continues to play out in court, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday. The court determined that while CASA — an immigration advocacy group suing DHS — has a plausible case, there is not enough evidence to block the TPS phaseout while the court challenge continues.

“We agree with the district court that CASA, Inc. has stated a plausible claim for relief with regard to the alleged ‘preordained’ decision to terminate temporary protected status (TPS) for Afghanistan and Cameroon, and that the balance of the equities and the public interest weigh in favor of CASA, Inc,” the court stated, according to court documents.

“At this procedural posture, however, there is insufficient evidence to warrant the extraordinary remedy of a postponement of agency action pending appeal,” the ruling continued.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a major change in sanctuary status for Louisville Tuesday morning as the administration continues its pressure campaign against Democrat mayors and governors for harboring violent criminal illegal aliens.

“In a major victory for the Department of Justice, the city of Louisville is dropping its sanctuary city policies as a result of a strong written warning from my office,” Bondi announced. “This should set an example to other cities. Instead of forcing us to sue you — which we will, without hesitation — follow the law, get rid of sanctuary policies, and work with us to fix the illegal immigration crisis.”

The news comes just one day after Border Czar Tom Homan said the Trump administration is going to “flood the zone” to find criminals in sanctuary jurisdictions across the country.

In the aftermath of the Wall Street Journal publishing what President Donald Trump has called a “fake” birthday card from him to Jeffrey Epstein, a reporter has been booted from a press pool covering Trump’s upcoming trip to Scotland.

The outlet alleged it found a 2003 letter from Trump to Epstein, which Trump denies. He has called the story “false, malicious, and defamatory.”

Tarini Parti, a White House reporter for the Wall Street Journal, was supposed to be part of the media pool covering Trump’s upcoming trip to his golf courses in Scotland.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Parti will not be allowed on the trip, according to Politico.

“As the appeals court confirmed, the Wall Street Journal or any other news outlet are not guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and in his private workspaces,” Leavitt said in a statement.

“Due to the Wall Street Journal’s fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the thirteen outlets on board. Every news organization in the entire world wishes to cover President Trump, and the White House has taken significant steps to include as many voices as possible.”

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is firing dozens of career prosecutors, sparking alarm among his critics.

Critics have accused Trump of departing from established norms with his sweeping shakeup of the DOJ.

The firings of Democrat-loyal DOJ officials have played a central role in Trump’s efforts to end the weaponization of the justice system.

Trump’s rise as a politician led Democrats to embrace the justice system as a defense of “our democracy.”

Democrats welcomed politically motivated criminal investigations into Trump in an effort to derail his return to the White House.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired several prosecutors who were involved in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s politically explosive investigations of Trump in 2024.

By Wayne Allyn Root

Hillary was desperate to stop Trump because she knew the crimes Obama, Biden and herself had carried out during the preceding eight years constituted high crimes and misdemeanors, and TREASON.

Here’s a few of the highlights…

*They opened the borders to flood America with illegal aliens desperate for welfare and free healthcare for life, who would vote Democrat forever more, to keep the checks coming, and therefore turn America into a one party state.

*The Obamacare scam that literally destroyed healthcare for every working class and middle class American, and raised healthcare prices through the roof, in order to give it away free to every poor Democrat voter and millions of illegal aliens.

*Benghazi- a PR disaster that led to the deaths of Americans to cover up a gun-running operation between the Obama administration and Islamic terrorist groups in Iraq.

*Pallets of cash handed to Iran on an unmarked cargo plane- billions of dollars that would be used to fund terrorism all over the world.

*Hillary- with Obama’s approval- extorted over $100 million from Russian businessmen to the Clinton Foundation, in return for giving away a large portion of America’s Uranium stock.

An Indiana IKEA employee was fired after refusing to call his co-worker “they/them” and filed an official complaint due to “unlawful termination,” the Indiana Family Institute said in a Wednesday press release.

Steven Ressler, a “devout Christian who believes there are only two genders” and who’s worked at IKEA since 2019, was under investigation in December for “misgendering” his co-worker. Soon after, Ressler filed for a “religious accommodation request” to “inform my employer of my religious beliefs and engage in the interactive process in good faith,” the press release said.

Three days after filing the religious exemption, Ressler was fired on the basis of “misgendering,” the press release said.

“I believe IKEA discriminated against me by failing to accommodate my sincerely held religious beliefs against using ‘they/them’ pronouns when addressing a transgender employee and terminated me for misgendering,” Ressler said.

Ressler filed a “formal complaint” with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Indiana Civil Rights Commission, the press release said.

Trade will be the top item on the agenda for Marcos’s meeting with the President of the United States.

In a letter, dated July 9, Trump put President Marcos on notice of the “significant Trade Deficit,” warning that tariffs of 20% will be charged starting on August 1, unless Philippine companies build and manufacture in the United States or the Philippines reduces trade barriers.

“If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 20% that we charge,” President Trump warned.

“If you wish to open your heretofore closed Trading Markets to the United States, and eliminate your Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter.”

ICE is paying retirees big bucks to come back and terrorize immigrants– www.dailykos.com

Now that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement budget is larger than those for most of the world’s militaries, they’ve got plenty of money sloshing around to hire 10,000 new agents, which will surely allow them to ratchet up arrests of harmless day laborers at Home Depot. But how to find those 10,000 new hires? ICE seems to be starting by begging retirees to come back.

A recruitment page on ICE’s website features the obligatory scowling Uncle Sam. Retired ICE agents who return are eligible for up to $50,000 in bonuses and can still receive their basic federal retirement annuity. In other words, for these rehires, taxpayers will be paying:

  1. Their base salary, which starts at $105,000 for ICE criminal investigators and nearly $89,000 for deportation officers.
  2. Federal health care benefits.
  3. Base federal retirement annuity.
  4. A stratospheric hiring bonus of up to $50,000.

That may seem like a steep price, but hey, how else to ensure that migrant children are left alone when their mothers are deported, or that immigrants are mistakenly deported? How else to ensure that ICE has enough agents to arrest migrants at courthouses after federal immigration judges, in collusion with government attorneys, drop immigration cases so that the migrant can be immediately arrested when they leave the courtroom?

Donald Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan cried to the media that a migrant doesn’t have to be a criminal to be arrested, detained and deported now because their immigration status decides if they are a criminal. This, despite the fact that being undocumented is not a crime; it’s a civil violation.

During the run up to the 2024 election, Donald Trump and JD Vance continually proclaimed that every migrant crossing the border were either serial killers, cannibals, murderers, or rapists.

These were the migrants he was going to deport.

Since racist Stephen Miller is in control of ICE now (basically the whole country really), Trump’s immigration policies require 80-year-old migrants, children playing on soccer fields, day workers, farm workers, and brown people in general to be scooped up by unmarked cars and balaclava-wearing masked men so they can be shipped off to alligator prisons.

This is Trump’s America.

Here is Tom “General Zod” Homan ranting during a presser earlier today.

ZOD: Then I read another story about how most people in ICE detention aren’t criminals. Now the story is, how bad of a criminal they have to be.

I saw a story the other day, only 1% of the illegal aliens removed were murderers.

Are you kidding me? Being in the country illegally is not illegal anymore, you got committed murder to be deported?

If you look at ICE detention, I’ll say it again, look at detention, who’s in detention, I looked at the numbers this morning, a majority are criminals, have criminal history.

Who are the rest? Border cases, who a judge ordered removed. The others are expedited removal, by federal statute, demands they be detained. So with the media out there, let’s try telling the truth about the men and women of ICE and the men and women of the Border Patrol.

During a press conference on Monday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took time away from failing Texans recovering from deadly floods to throw New York City Mayor Eric Adams under the bus.

“I know you guys have got a leadership election in this country, or in this city that’s going to be happening soon,” Noem told reporters. “Boy, start looking at the candidates today and see which one is going to start making the city safer. Because you’ve got a mayor today that could have done better and could have done better—and maybe he’d have more support today if he had, if he’d have put his people first.

So much for the former Democrat’s attempts to cozy up to President Donald Trump during a very public corruption case. As Noem’s comments make clear, Trump’s Cabinet members have little interest in loyalty unless it serves their personal political needs. There is no amount of genuflecting that will shield you from being sold down the river in order to deflect blame.

Adams’ increasingly desperate bid to remain both in power and out of legal jeopardy has culminated in him leaving the Democratic Party after realizing he had little chance of securing its mayoral nomination. If Adams’ plan was to court moderate Republican voters in the upcoming race against popular progressive mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, Trump’s team of terrorists aren’t going to be much help.

James Comey And John Brennan Will Be Convicted By History– thefederalist.com

The Justice Department recently acknowledged that it is conducting a criminal investigation of both former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey. The current CIA director, John Ratcliffe, made a criminal referral to the DOJ concerning Brennan. Many believe that referral involves perjury on Brennan’s part when testifying before Congress or during Special Counsel John Durham’s inquiry.

The precise criminal offenses concerning Comey are not clear at this point. But there was certainly plenty of malfeasance and misfeasance by both these agency heads starting with the inception of the Russia collusion fiasco.

Comey described, in his book, the sole origin of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign as a report “from an allied ambassador” of a conversation in London between a Trump adviser and “a Russian agent.” That was his characterization of George Papadopoulos’ meeting with Joseph Mifsud, who told the Trump aide the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. Comey has piously huffed that it would have been “dereliction” not to proceed with an investigation. But to proceed with an intrusive investigation on so little was abuse.

A secondhand rumor should never be enough to justify opening an investigation of any American, much less a presidential candidate. This off-hand conversation initiated an investigation that dogged the presidency. Like directors before him, Comey should have said, “We need more proba

President Donald J Trump has been diagnosed with “chronic venous insufficiency.” It is a disease that causes a swelling of the legs that makes it difficult for the legs to send blood back to the heart. Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the diagnose.

She told the press, “In recent weeks, President Trump noticed mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care, and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit. The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition.”

Excerpt:

Physicians for President Donald Trump have announced he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, a swelling of the legs that can cause difficulty with sending blood back to the heart.

The news, announced by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during Thursday’s press briefing, landed like a shock among supporters who took to the internet with well-wishes and fears about Trump’s ability to finish out his second term.

Leavitt dismissed those concerns, characterizing the diagnosis as less serious than it appears at first.

“Many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president’s hand,” Leavitt said, referencing what appeared to be makeup on Trump’s right hand Wednesday.

In an “effort of transparency,” Trump’s doctor stated: “In recent weeks, President Trump noticed mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care, and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit.”

“The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition,” Leavitt read from the note.

Trump emerged from Marine One on Wednesday, answering questions with his usual zest while touting trade deals and taking aim at far-left Democrats. However, physicians who spoke with the Daily Mail speculated about whether the president had been bruised by a recent blood draw, a symptom that is common among men of his age.

Trump turned 78 this month, and he is the second-oldest president behind former President Joe Biden.

WATCH:

All studies of Trump’s current health “were within normal limits,” Leavitt added.

“An echocardiogram was also performed and confirm normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified.”

President Trump effectively pressured Biden out of last year’s election after furthering the narrative that his mental acuity had significantly declined while in office. Stumbles, vexed moments on stage, and other senior moments reinforced the image of Biden as unfit for office.

With his news, President Trump is now up against the gun to show Americans that he is not suffering physical side-effects after returning to the world’s most demanding job. He continues to regularly golf, an activity his physician has credited with his healthy gait and average weight for men of his age.

Pedophile Forgiven of Attempted Child Rape to Protect Canadian Citizenship Application

A Canadian resident from India was found guilty of attempting to have sex with someone who was a minor, but since he is applying for Canadian citizenship, the Judge decided to give him a “conditional discharge” so his citizenship application isn’t ruined. The pedo-supporting judge is liberal Justice Paul Thomas O’Marra, who declared, “A conviction would lead to severe collateral consequences, such as jeopardizing his immigration status, delaying his citizenship, and preventing him from sponsoring his wife, which would likely result in separation…”

Akashkumar Khant, 30, will now be let loose on the Canadian public as a fellow voter, assuring the pedophilic death cult that is Canada’s far left “Liberal” Party will stay in power for decades to come, making itself increasingly at odds with America’s values, and thus, making itself a security risk for future American generations (should we survive our own internal crisis). The pedo enabling judge is willing to sacrifice your child for his smug sense of self-righteousness.

Indian Migrant Gets “Conditional Discharge” For Sex Crimes Because It Would “Delay His Citizenship”– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Excerpt:

In the political pursuit to make Canada India and ensure no human is illegal, our northern neighbors have truly lost their minds.

A Canadian resident has been given a “conditional discharge” after trying to have sex with someone he believed was a minor. However, given the fact that he wants to be a citizen, the judge believes that the morally permissible thing to do is to let him off the hook, as the more evil thing would be to disrupt his immigration hearing.

It’s unclear why this judge wants predators in his country so badly, but that is up for you to decide.

According to the National Review:

In December 2023, Akashkumar Khant, 30 (plus or minus some months), made the mistake of arranging to have sex with a 15-year-old at a Mississauga Holiday Inn for $140.

Only, when he got there, that 15-year-old turned out to be a cop. He was arrested at the hotel (with $140 in cash on hand) and subsequently ended up in court — but he won’t receive a criminal record for his actions, in part because of his immigration status.

On June 25, Khant was sentenced to a conditional discharge for committing an indecent act. For three months, he will be under house arrest — during which time he can go shopping for three hours every Sunday, attend religious services, medical appointments and travel to and from work. Twelve months of probation will follow afterward. Whether Ontario will appeal remains an open question, as the province won’t reveal its plan until after July 25.

RINOS and Dems Join Forces to Push Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill

Florida RINO representative Maria Elvira Salazar introduced a bill that would allow illegals to continue to work here and send money home. Salazar said the quiet part out loud when she stated in her press release, “The legislation acknowledged a key truth: most undocumented individuals are not seeking citizenship at all costs, but rather the dignity of living and working legally, contributing to society, paying taxes, being safe from deportation, and traveling to see family during the holidays.”

This is just an open admission the bill is intended to flood America with “workers” who aren’t here to join our nation, so they are here to work in the interest of a foreign country, not America, sending American dollars out of our country to the detriment of the American worker, whose jobs they have taken (at pennies to the dollar).

Amnesty Bill Will Allow Illegals To Keep Using U.S. As A Piggy Bank– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

On Tuesday, a group of Republicans joined Democrats to reintroduce the DIGNITY Act, which would provide mass amnesty to illegal aliens living in the country.

“The legislation acknowledges a key truth: most undocumented individuals are not seeking citizenship at all costs, but rather the dignity of living and working legally, contributing to society, paying taxes, being safe from deportation, and traveling to see family during the holidays,” a press release from Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a so-called Republican, states.

By the bill’s own admission, “most” illegal aliens don’t want to become Americans in any real sense. They want the benefits of living here without the responsibilities of citizenship. They want access to our job market, our economy, public services, schools, hospitals — but none of the civic ties, assimilation or actual loyalty that citizens are expected to uphold, which is precisely the problem with mass migration.

Mass migration — whether legal or illegal — treats America not as a nation with a specific culture, language, heritage and people to be protected, but merely as a global economic opportunity zone for anyone who wants to cash in. There’s no concern for the cultural, social, or economic impacts on the communities forced to absorb this endless influx of illegal aliens. Which is precisely why Salazar’s statement — that “most” illegal immigrants don’t even seek citizenship — is so troubling.

Citizenship is a covenant that requires civic responsibility and obligations, which is what tethers the American people to one another and creates a sense of belonging that is worth fighting for. If citizenship is reduced to being merely an option rather than a requirement for participation and reaping the privileges of our republic, then civic responsibility will also erode. Citizenship binds people together through shared duties, loyalties and sacrifices. To live indefinitely in legal twilight — enjoying the protections, privileges, and prosperity of America without accepting the obligations of citizenship — is to hollow out the very meaning of belonging to a nation and reduces the nation down to a global marketplace.

Bombshell DOJ Report Finally Addresses Epstein ‘Client List’– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

A bombshell report by the U.S. Department of Justice reaches stunning concludes about the death of Jeffrey Epstein and the alleged client list of high-profile individuals serviced by his ring of underage sex slaves.

Working in conjunction with the FBI, the DOJ for the first time confirmed that no such list was ever compiled by Epstein, who died by hanging in 2019. Although his connections to some of the world’s most powerful leaders were vast, there is no evidence that he blackmailed associates, kept a “client” list, or was murdered, according to the memo.

The finding amounts to significant pushback on the long-held theory that Epstein was murdered while being held on human trafficking charges. The Trump administration is preparing the release of a new video — both in “raw” and “enhanced” qualities — that it claims confirms no individual entered the area where Epstein sat in a jail cell on the night of his death.

The two-page memo concurs with a medical examiner’s finding that he died by hanging with no evidence of foul play.

Before entering public office, FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, had been among the voices most critical of the government’s investigation into Epstein’s death. They had alluded to his relationship with the Clintons, Bill Gates, and members of the Royal Family, all of whom visited his notorious Virgin Islands compound over the years.

OSCAR: In this case I just have to take another road.

LUCIANO: Coqui is one of several apps developed recently to let immigrants know when ICE agents are nearby. Deputy Director of ICE Madison Sheahan told us she thinks the apps are dangerous.

MADISON SHEAHAN: Our issue becomes- is when they become violent and are asking people to go cause violence.

LUCIANO: So the apps are used to alert immigrants where ICE is. Those people are not going to be targeted.

SHEAHAN: Well, if it is impeding a law enforcement effort, that’s where that line comes in, as well.

PETER: There is the desire to protect the people that you love, but there’s also a very practical reason. We need help here, and we need workers to get to work.

LUCIANO: People weren’t showing up to work?

PETER: Correct. The people were scared to leave their homes.

First, former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina seems close to entering the Senate race following GOP Sen. Thom Tillis’ abrupt and unexpected retirement.

Cooper, who left office after two terms with a positive approval rating, would perhaps be the best Democratic nominee in the race. His entrance into the contest would give Democrats an exceptional opportunity to pick up a critical Senate seat, bringing the party one step closer to taking control of the chamber.

That’s especially true if Republicans nominate a wackadoodle, which they could very likely do as Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump seems poised to run—something Tillis is warning Republicans not to do.

Georgetown University’s interim president, Robert Groves, told Congress he is “very proud” of the school’s financial relationship with Qatar and defended his decision to award a presidential medal to a Qatari royal who openly celebrated Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre.

“I’m very proud of our mission in Qatar,” Groves said Tuesday during a House Committee on Education and Workforce hearing. “It’s completely consistent with the Jesuit animation of working at the frontiers of serving groups that are not served easily in Washington.”

Republican lawmakers at the hearing—which also featured University of California, Berkeley, chancellor Rich Lyons and City University of New York chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez—focused much of their attention on Georgetown’s financial relationship with Qatar, through which the university has received approximately $1 billion from the Gulf state since 2005.

One project the university built with its influx of Qatari cash is the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), situated within Georgetown’s prestigious School of Foreign Service. Groves pointed to the ACMCU as one example of the school’s efforts to address “interfaith conflict.”
