The House Rules Committee will consider a proposal late Monday afternoon that would prevent illegal aliens and other foreign nationals from skewing elections by shifting the apportionment of congressional seats and electoral college votes.

The “Equal Representation Act” would modify the Census Bureau’s questionnaire for each decennial census beginning in 2030 by requiring individuals to attest to their citizenship status on the form and then using that data to exclude foreign nationals from the count used to determine congressional and electoral college apportionment. Apportionment is derived from the number of residents in a particular area but does not currently differentiate legal citizens from foreigners who, in many cases, are illegal immigrants. A state can gain or lose congressional seats and electoral college votes based on the size of its population.

This means that millions of illegal aliens who have invaded the country can dilute the representation of American citizens by inflating the populations of the left-leaning areas to which they flock — even as American citizens flee those same states.

Cross-posted with Clash DailyThere seems to be no upper limit to what the NeverTrump crowd are willing to do in their attempts to block him from returning to the White House.

Congressional hearings have helped build the case in justifying Trump’s claims about this whole effort being nothing more than a witch-hunt and an exercise in political interference.

Today, as he often does, Trump stood before the press just before another tedious courtroom appearance on a day he should have been used for campaigning. He put the legal activism against him — and the complicit judges — on blast

The Trump campaign and Republican National Committee (RNC) smashed March’s fundraising record and raised over $76 million in April, according to the RNC.

The RNC made the announcement following its Spring Finance Retreat, affirming that the two entities raised more than $76 million combined in April. That is over ten million more than their $65.6 million haul in March. That same month, RNC co-chair Lara Trump noted that the first major fundraising event with their joint fundraising group, Trump 47 Committee, raised $40 million in a single event.

“It took three presidents — Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and God bless us all, the current President of the United States, as hard as it is to say, Joe Biden — to raise $26 million at the glitzy Radio City event last week,” Lara Trump told Breitbart News Daily at the time.

Further, the RNC said in a release that more than 50 percent of the donations from April stem from small dollar donors.

“The Republican Party is turning up the heat and the American people are going all in to re-elect President Donald J. Trump and Republicans down the ballot in November,” the RNC said in a press release.

As president, Joe Biden has tried every trick he can to limit or eliminate Second Amendment rights, but a coalition of state attorneys general is fighting back.

For well over a year, the Biden administration has been looking to criminalize millions of gun owners who sell their privately owned firearms to another private citizen, thereby redefining common, everyday gun owners as “gun dealers.”

Now, Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is attempting to implement Biden’s sneaky, backdoor attack on law-abiding gun owners.

According to an April 12 report from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action, the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act made a subtle change in the definition of who can be considered a “gun dealer” by eliminating the language that once defined a “gun dealer” as someone who engages in repetitive sales of guns, ammunition or accessories with the “principal objective” of making a “livelihood or profit.”

The bill, which Biden signed into law on June 25, 2022, eliminates the “livelihood” portion of that definition, so that only the “profit” remains.

Kentucky Republican Secretary of State Michael Adams, who worked to expand early voting in the Bluegrass State and has spoken out against election denialism in his own party, has been chosen to receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award this year.

In its announcement Monday, the JFK Library Foundation said Adams was recognized “for expanding voting rights and standing up for free and fair elections despite party opposition and death threats from election deniers.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the government’s decision to terminate Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel, citing the Qatari-owned network as a provocateur of “incitement.” The closure was unanimously agreed upon by the cabinet. Reacting strongly, Al Jazeera labeled the Israeli government’s action as “criminal.”

The restrictions also extend to foreign journalists, notably barring them from entering Gaza, leaving Al Jazeera’s personnel among the few reporters present on the ground. This decision has been informed by longstanding accusations from Israeli authorities of the network’s alleged anti-Israel bias. The criticism has escalated following the deadly Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.

The Israeli government has escalated its measures against Al Jazeera by raiding its offices and halting its broadcast amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza today. Describing the network as a vehicle for Hamas propaganda, Israel’s actions culminated on Sunday when police stormed Al Jazeera’s premises at the Ambassador hotel in Jerusalem. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi publicized the raid with a video on X/Twitter, showcasing officers and inspectors seizing equipment from a hotel room.

The pro-Hamas encampment at George Washington University in DC has been in full, hideous swing for days.  City officials refused to allow the police to help the school clear the encampment, despite an explicit request from GW to do so, citing bad ‘optics.’  Since then, the mob overran officers and barricades to expand their “encampment,” completely covered a Washington statue with Palestinian garb and other desecrations, booed and jeered when an American flag was unfurled overlooking their terrorism-supporting ‘protest,’ then projected a ‘Genocide Joe’ message over the flag.  What patriotic frat boys on various campuses seem to instinctively understand is that these people aren’t just anti-Israel; they overwhelmingly hate America, too.  That’s what drives so much of the dirtbag left.  These people despise Western civilization, and they’re deeply radical at heart….

What might DC officials think of these “optics”?  They generally coddle criminals, so it’s unclear if they’re offended by any of this.  Meanwhile, scenes at MIT:

NEW: PRO-TERROR MIT PROTESTORS CHANT ‘DEATH TO ZIONISTS’ IN ARABIC

Two days ago, the @AP live-streamed antisemitic protests at the MIT pro-Hamas encampment.

In this clip, the Arabic chant says (twice) “Min el-maiyeh lel mayieh, almawt lilsahayina”.

They’re literally chanting for death, in English and Arabic, on US soil. I’ll leave you with thoughts from the leader of the University of Florida, who has handled this correctly from the start:

“I think the line is between speech and action.”

DC Metropolitan Police Department said that it would not help clear the Gaza camp set up by students and activists at George Washington University (GWU).

Metropolitan Police Department Chief of Police Pamela Smith said on Thursday, “I think here in the District of Columbia, we allow people the opportunity to have freedom of speech, and that’s what we’re seeing right now. There has been no violence, no violent behavior, no confrontations,” according to The Hill.

“If the behavior changes, then our procedures and our process might change.”
