A closely-divided U.S. Supreme Court has handed down a critical decision on election integrity, jeopardizing the security of American elections and the sovereignty of the nation. In an opinion released Monday morning in Watson v. Republican National Committee (RNC), the court’s narrow majority ruled that mail-in ballots postmarked by election day may still be counted even if received after election day.

“Three federal statutes set the day for the election of Representatives, Senators, and the President,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority. At issue is a Mississippi state law allowing ballots received by mail and postmarked by election day to be counted for up to five days after election day. The RNC argued that federal statutes preempt Mississippi’s law and require ballots to be received by election day in order to be counted. Barrett and the majority concluded that the federal statutes “do not” preempt Mississippi’s law.

During oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, the birthplace citizenship case handed down from the Supreme Court on Tuesday, Solicitor General John Sauer observed that “we’re in a new world now … where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who’s a U.S. citizen.”

Four justices would go on to agree with this originalist argument, that the framers of the 14th Amendment did not understand their words to confer citizenship on the offspring of illegal aliens and birth tourists. But Chief Justice John Roberts dismissed Sauer’s point, retorting that while it may be “a new world, it’s the same Constitution.” He clearly thought it was a clever turn of phrase, an impression no doubt bolstered by the fawning media coverage of his remark. Released on Tuesday, his majority opinion takes the same approach to a foundational constitutional question as his cheap potshot at Sauer: he shows little interest in compelling originalist arguments, instead issuing shallow and misapplied but noble-sounding platitudes.

Joined by Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, Roberts declared that, if a pregnant foreigner travels to the United States — legally or illegally, for 20 years or 20 minutes — to give birth, the 14th Amendment demands that act be rewarded by granting the child the full privileges of American citizenship. At the center of his argument is an aspirational concept of “allegiance” he grounds in the practices of feudal Europe. Because British subjects “born within the dominions and under the protection of a particular sovereign” owed a “tie or duty” to that sovereign, Roberts reasons, the children of foreigners born on American soil must be bound by the same allegiance and thus demanded citizenship.

SCOTUS issued a spate of major rulings at the end of its term. Some rulings favor Americans, while some preserve key aspects of progressive power. In two key rulings, the Supreme Court upheld two key progressive policies, one allows mass-mailer ballot counting after election day and the other preserves “Birthright citizenship.”

SCOTUS also ruled the President can fire executive employees without cause and police must get a warrant to conduct “geofence” searches, or wide searches of cell phone user data within a crime scene area.

He uses the term “allegiance” 51 times, emphasizing the mutual duties that British sovereigns and subjects owed each other. But such an argument is irreconcilable with the practice he defends: allowing people with no practice or intention of “allegiance” to the United States to secure citizenship for their children.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) is an easy Exhibit A in the tilt at PolitiFact. In his first Senate run in 2020, PolitiFact’s Tom Kertscher threw a “Pants On Fire” flag at his opponent Sen. David Perdue for labeling Ossoff a “socialist.” Ossoff was endorsed by Bernie Sanders (and Ossoff welcomed it.) And yet, Ossoff can smear Trump as a “totalitarian farce” with no checking.

On Monday, PolitiFact threw a “False” at Ossoff’s current Republican opponent, Rep. Mike Collins:

U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff “cast the deciding vote for the inflation disaster,” referring to the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

PolitiFact newbie Ben Brasch really had to stretch reality to come to Ossoff’s defense. The Senate vote on the “Inflation Reduction Act” was 50-50, so if he had voted against it, that vote would decide it. He was a deciding vote.

But no, everybody blamed Kamala:

Ossoff supported the Inflation Reduction Act. Every Democratic vote was needed, but he was not the “deciding vote.” Harris, as vice president, came in to break the tie. 

Despite its name, the law had little effect on inflation. Inflation had peaked by the time it passed, and many provisions required phasing in over several years.

We rate the statement False.

Griswold, the leftist tool of the far-left machine that defiled the U.S. Constitution, is now accused of ignoring the Centennial State’s charter.

An agreement signed four days ago between the Israeli and Lebanese governments, which links Israel pulling its forces out of southern Lebanon with Hezbollah being disarmed, could effectively keep Israeli troops in the neighboring nation indefinitely, analysts say, and that could make a final peace deal between the U.S. and Iran harder to achieve.

Hezbollah has thus far refused to lay down its weapons, and the Lebanese government has proven unable to make the well-armed Iranian-backed group do so.

“This is ‌not an agreement, it is an imposed settlement,” a senior Lebanese politician, who declined to be named, told the Reuters news agency. The lawmaker was quoted as saying Lebanon’s army is simply incapable of forcing Hezbollah to disarm.

President Trump praised the Supreme Court in a statement Tuesday, despite the Court’s decision striking down his executive order on Birthright Citizenship. Trump stated on Truth Social “we will work to correct” the decision in Congress, but added “the Republican Party was treated very fairly by the United States Supreme Court.”

The president was especially pleased with Monday’s Trump v. Slaughter decision, which gave him the authority to remove Federal Trade commissioners (FTC) at will.

“The biggest and most consequential Decision issued by the Court, by far, is the Slaughter Case, which overturned the very famous Humphrey’s Executor Rule,” Trump said.

This whole concept of “Power” has been fought over for nearly 100 years, going all the way back to Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, where a large slice of his Power was taken away. He fought to regain it, even wanting to “pack the Court,” but was unsuccessful in doing so. This Decision gives tremendous additional Power back to the Presidency, where it belongs. It is an Honor to be the sitting President who, after all these years, WON this very important, and hard fought, Case. We had other good Victories, too, and we also had the Birthright Citizenship loss, which we will work to correct in Congress, but the big SLAUGHTER, was SLAUGHTER. The Republican Party was treated very fairly by the United States Supreme Court. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The poll also found a boost to Trump’s approval ratings in the wake of the deal.

A new poll has revealed that the majority of voters in the United States support the peace deal to end the Iran war that was reached earlier in the month under the leadership of President Donald Trump.

Among likely voters, the Big Data Poll found that 62 percent support the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two nations. Among Trump voters, that support was 77 percent, while 50 percent of Kamala Harris voters supported the deal.

The poll also found a boost to Trump’s approval ratings in the wake of the deal. In total, 44.4 percent of likely voters said they somewhat or strongly approve of the job Trump’s doing as president. This is up from May, when 40.7 percent of likely voters said the same.

Big Data Poll Director Rich Baris said, “The war was never popular and voters have been frustrated over what they perceive to be a lack of focus on domestic issues. But this is the first month since the start of the Iran War the picture was a little rosier for the President and Republicans. That said, these results and the transcripts of interviews conducted make it very clear that the fate of the Republican majorities in November is almost certainly tied to a lasting peace with Iran.”

The poll was conducted between June 26 and 28 of 2,971 registered voters and 2,604 likely voters nationwide, and has a margin of error of 1.8 percent for registered voters and 1.7 percent for likely voters.

Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito tore into the court’s majority for imposing a “medieval” rule on “birthright citizenship” that negates the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, days before the 250th anniversary of America’s founding document.

Both justices issued dissenting opinions in Trump v Barbara (2026), in which the court’s 6-3 majority upheld the notion of “birthright citizenship,” that any baby born on U.S. soil—regardless of his parents’ immigration status—is a citizen.

Justice Thomas said the court’s majority in Trump v. Barbera (2026) presented a legal argument that was “not historically accurate.”

“American citizenship, the court says, was based on a medieval English ‘feudal’ principle, according to which each person ‘owed personal service to the lord of the soil’ as his ‘master’—a perpetual servitude that was ‘born with the child and only ended in the grave,’” he summarized. According to the court’s majority, Americans adopted the feudal principle and Congress codified it in the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment.

Alito, for his part, cautioned that “before saddling the nation with a medieval rule, we had better be certain the Constitution requires it.”

He warned that the court’s decision confers citizenship on “birth tourists,” the children of women who travel to the United States just to give birth.

Republican members of Congress tried turning up the heat on Canada on Tuesday, depicting the northern border as a dangerous security threat allowing lots of drugs and illegal migrants into the U.S.

But when the Republicans on the House border security and enforcement subcommittee tried to present evidence that such threats from Canada are on the rise, the statistics showed otherwise.

Tuesday’s hearing on Capitol Hill was entitled “Northern Exposure: Assessing the Evolving Threat Landscape at America’s Northern Border.”

It kicked off with the subcommittee’s chairman, Mississippi Republican Michael Guest, claiming that the Trump administration’s crackdown on the southern border has driven Mexican cartels to shift their criminal enterprises to the border with Canada.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin made similar claims in June.

“Illegal crossings have begun to shift north,” claimed Guest. “Drug seizures at the northern border have steadily increased, reaching record levels this year.”

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has once again proven herself to be an utter embarrassment to the judicial branch and all those who came before her on the court.

Tuesday saw the Supreme Court rule in a 6-3 decision that President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship conflicts with the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.

According to NBC News, Trump’s order, dated Jan. 20, 2025 — his first day in office after being sworn in for his second term — interprets the amendment to mean birthright citizenship extends to children of at least one parent who is a citizen or permanent resident, barring temporary visitors’ or illegal aliens’ children from obtaining citizenship.

Jackson was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Amy Coney Barrett. Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed that the order violated federal law, but not the Constitution. The amendment’s history dates back to Reconstruction, the period following the Civil War.

The intent was to grant citizenship to former slaves, but the majority now say it means anyone who comes into the country by any means whatsoever can give birth to a child who will automatically be, by default, a U.S. citizen.

In her concurring opinion, Brown Jackson decided to invoke the history of the postwar period, but did so in an incredibly cringeworthy manner unbecoming of the highest court in the land.

She wrote, “In the aftermath of the Civil War, those who championed the Fourteenth Amendment — both within and beyond Congress — understood the assignment.

“Their work product used ‘language that transcended race and region,’ and thereby ‘changed and broadened the meaning of freedom for all Americans.’”

If you’re completely confused about what it means when someone “understood the assignment,” you’re not alone. According to Yahoo! Life, “The slang term is a popular way to praise someone who is going above and beyond to do a good job. According to Urban Dictionary, ‘understood the assignment’ means, ‘a phrase used when someone is giving it 110% …Whether it’s what they’re doing, what they’re wearing, someone who is really on top of their s***.’”

On May 13, 2026, Air Force One landed in Beijing for President Donald Trump’s first state visit to China in nearly a decade. That same morning, the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations published a report titled The Evolving World and the Right Way to China-US Coexistence. The summit dominated global media coverage for two days. The report received almost none.

The Beijing summit produced familiar imagery: honor guards, a state banquet in the Great Hall of the People, and carefully choreographed warmth. Chinese leader Xi Jinping announced that both sides had agreed to “strategic stability” as a framework for the next three years, and both leaders praised the collegial atmosphere.

Beneath the pageantry, China’s premier foreign policy think tank had published its own assessment of the state of bilateral relations. Read against Mao Zedong’s original theory of protracted struggle, its report describes the current moment not as a step toward partnership but as the product of a strategy in which struggle precedes and produces cooperation on terms favorable to Beijing. Treating that stabilization as evidence of strategic convergence, rather than as a single stage within a longer competition, would be a misreading worth correcting.

“Chief Day’s office even directs people who witness ICE activity to call an organization that advocates for ICE’s abolishment,” the letter states.

The US House Judiciary Committee has accused Portland Police Chief Bob Day, Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez, and Sheriff Morrissey O’Donnell of endangering the public by refusing to cooperate with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), thus allowing illegal aliens “to freely operate, terrorize local communities, and reoffend without consequences.”

These three officials received congressional letters dated June 23 regarding their handling of arrests and cases involving foreign nationals, which the committee claimed violated federal immigration laws.

The committee asked the sheriff’s office, the district attorney’s office, and the Portland Police Bureau to provide all communications, as well as policies and procedures, related to ICE and immigration dating back to January 1, 2022. The letter demands a response by July 7.

Oregon’s Sanctuary Promise Act prohibits state and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration-related matters. This includes not disclosing a suspect’s immigration status or information to federal officials, limiting immigration arrests to specific locations, and prohibiting compliance with ICE detainers, which are official holds on criminal illegal aliens with ICE requesting notification before they are released from jail.

President Donald Trump just gave Republicans something they usually lack in a midterm year: a national stage they control. 

The Republican Party will hold a first-ever midterm convention in Dallas on Sept. 9 and Sept. 10, less than two months before voters decide control of Congress on Nov. 3.

For a party defending narrow majorities, the move is bold and risky.

And smart.

Midterms typically punish the party in the White House. Gallup’s history shows the president’s party has lost an average of 25 House seats in midterm elections since 1946. From Reuters:

An off-year convention is unusual, with such events usually held only during presidential election years. Republicans are under pressure to hold on to control of Congress for Trump’s final two years in office and worry that voter unease over the economy and Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran could hurt their efforts.

“BIG NEWS! For the first time ever, the ⁠Republican Party will hold a MIDTERM CONVENTION. It will be in Dallas, Texas — One of my favorite places in the World. It will be fantastic!” Trump said in a social media post.

Trump plans to address the gathering, according to two Republican sources familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The move would further tie him to the election’s outcome at a moment when Republicans are confronting historic headwinds. The party that holds the White House in the first midterm elections after a presidential election usually loses congressional seats.

Presidents with under 50% approval have watched their parties lose an average of 37 House seats. Republicans don’t need a lecture from consultants; they need turnout, discipline, and a message strong enough to break through the usual noise.

Tina is 70-years-old, suffered a major bout with cancer, but hopefully is now cancer free. What she went through should never happen to anyone again. Just think of it, she caught the Democrats cheating, and they put her in jail for Voter Fraud. They didn’t want her out there speaking to the Media. She knows that the Voting Machines are RIGGED, that the Mail In Ballots are a DISASTER, and that our Elections are very Dangerous and Corrupt at a time when, with the Threat of Communism, we must be very wise and careful!

The Supreme Court’s decision striking down President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order has forced Republicans to rethink how — or whether — they can still achieve one of the administration’s top immigration priorities.

The high court ruled Tuesday in Trump v. Barbara that the president could not use executive authority to deny citizenship to children born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. While his executive order was invalidated by a 6-3 decision, only a 5-4 majority reached the constitutional question, holding that the 14th Amendment protects birthright citizenship in those circumstances.

That split has sparked debate among Republicans over whether Congress still has any viable path forward to restrict birthright citizenship, or whether only a constitutional amendment could accomplish Trump’s goal.
