Judge proceeds to consider new pause on Trump National Guard use despite appeals court ruling– www.washingtonexaminer.com

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer will proceed with evaluating Gov. Gavin Newsom‘s (D-CA) claims that President Donald Trump‘s use of the National Guard in Los Angeles violated a federal law preventing troops from being used for regular law enforcement activities, despite an appeals court ruling that Breyer could not pause the use of the troops.

Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit blocked Breyer’s previous pause on Trump’s federalization of the National Guard after Breyer said the president unlawfully took over it.

After the appeals court took jurisdiction over those claims, Breyer requested briefs from California officials and the Justice Department on whether they believed he could still rule on Newsom’s claims that the deployed troops violated the Posse Comitatus Act by engaging in civilian law enforcement activities. In an order filed late Wednesday evening in California, Breyer ruled that he has that authority and ordered some discovery to be permitted in the case.

“Both parties posit that the Court does retain that jurisdiction,” Breyer wrote in his order. “Upon review, the Court agrees. The Court may proceed with the case, including by hearing arguments on the propriety of a preliminary injunction on Posse Comitatus Act grounds and by allowing discovery.”

Breyer said he would consider a preliminary injunction on Newsom’s allegations that the Trump administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act following a timeline requested by California officials. Their briefing requested responses and depositions be completed by July 11 and a supplemental briefing be filed by July 15.

‘Education, not indoctrination’: Texas governor signs higher ed reform bill

A new law signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday is another effort by Republican lawmakers to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion activism from public higher education.

State Sen. Brandon Creighton, the lead sponsor, described the legislation as a “bold step to ensure our public colleges and universities return to their core mission: education, not indoctrination.”

“Just as SB 17 eliminated DEI hiring last session, SB 37 now takes on politically charged academic programs and ensures students graduate with degrees of value, not degrees rooted in activism and political indoctrination,” Creighton stated in a news release.

Senate Bill 37 includes a number of structural changes in the governance of public higher education institutions.

Among other things, it creates new committees to review curriculum at least once every five years to ensure that classes “prepare students for civic and professional life.”

However, lawmakers did remove a section from the final version of the bill that prohibited curriculum that “promote[s] the idea that any race, sex, or ethnicity or any religious belief is inherently superior to any other.”

Creighton said the law, which will go into effect Sept. 1, “demands real accountability from our institutions by creating curriculum review committees in course offerings, aligning core curriculum with workforce needs, and empowering Texans to report ideological bias or political coercion in the classroom.”

Jonathan Turley: Supreme Court Could Soon Crack Down on Activist Judges, Hand Trump ‘Enormous’ Victory– slaynews.com

Excerpt:

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hand down a pivotal decision that could finally put an end to one of the Left’s favorite judicial tricks: nationwide injunctions designed to paralyze conservative executive action.

According to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a looming Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions could have “enormous” impacts on the Trump administration.

Turley said Tuesday that the high court will likely crack down on rogue activist judges.

The SCOTUS is poised to decide on the practice by federal judges that can currently halt executive branch policies affecting the entire country.

Conservatives have argued that injunctions have been strategically sought in left-wing jurisdictions.

The moves are part of a strategy to undermine the Trump administration’s agenda on immigration enforcement and deportations.

“It’s going to be an enormous decision potentially,” Turley explained.

The legal scholar noted that a decision may come on Thursday.

“For the administration in the immigration areas, as well as other areas, the court could very well say, ‘Enough. We’re not going to have individual judges freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this.”

Turley said that many of the injunctions are brought in “favorable” jurisdictions in front of “favorable” judges.

Those activist judges issue the injunctions that are favorable to Democrats and stop the president’s policies in their tracks.

WH Shares Israel Atomic Energy Commission’s Assessment on Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Following US Strikes– townhall.com

Excerpt:

The White House distributed a statement to reporters on Wednesday from the Israel Atomic Energy Commission giving their assessment of the damage U.S. strikes inflicted on key Iranian nuclear facilities.

“The devastating US strike on Fordo destroyed the site’s critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility inoperable,” the IAEC statement reads.

Iran’s nuclear weapons program has now been set back “by many years” following U.S. and Israeli strikes, the statement added.

“We assess that the American strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran’s military nuclear program, has set back Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years,” IAEC said. “The achievement can continue indefinitely if Iran does not get access to nuclear material.”

The statement comes after CNN reported that U.S. strikes against three of Iran’s nuclear sites did not destroy the nation’s nuclear program—a claim fiercely disputed by the administration.

“This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

McMahon threatens California with investigation over Title IX violation– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump issued a rebuke of the state for allowing a 16-year-old transgender runner to compete. Trump said the inclusion of a biological male was “totally demeaning to women and girls” and threatened to pull funding from the state. McMahon confirmed on Fox & Friends that this would be a reality unless the state makes immediate changes.

“We are giving them 10 days to remedy the situation. We have a remedy for them, but if they do not comply within 10 days, we will refer this to the Department of Justice,” McMahon said. “They really need to send a letter of apology to all of the female participants in sports. They need to return the titles that were taken away from these women who competed and lost to the males in sports, and they just have to make it right to those women competitors.”

This follows Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order, which clarified that Title IX, a law banning sex-based discrimination, would be enforced on the basis of biological sex. His administration argues that requiring biological females to compete against a transgender woman instead of having biological female-exclusive sports constitutes a civil rights violation.

Federal funding comprised over one-third, or $152.8 billion, of California’s 2024-25 budget, according to the California Budget and Policy Center. While McMahon did not detail how much federal funding could be lost due to this violation, she said it would be a “substantial amount.”

“They run the risk of losing their federal funding, in their K-12 schools, that’s where these infractions were committed,” McMahon said before paraphrasing Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) take on the matter. “It’s very interesting to hear Gov. Newsom say it’s a matter of fairness. It is easy. Talk is cheap. I think he needs to put his money where his mouth is.”

‘They Want To Spin It’: Trump, Hegseth Team Up To Take On NBC News Reporter Pressing Them About Leaked Iran Report– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired back at NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell on Wednesday as she attempted to question them on reports that the Iranian nuclear sites were not “obliterated.”

An early assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which was leaked to CNN, found that the damage done to Iran’s nuclear facilities likely only set back the Iranians’ nuclear program by a few months, which contradicted Trump’s claim that the sites were “completely obliterated.” While O’Donnell repeatedly asked about the report, Trump said the DIA report is incomplete and does not properly assess the damages caused by the U.S.’ bombings on Saturday night.

“You talked about having some on-the-ground assessments at Fordow and other sites … What is your message then, sir, to the intelligence community when they present reports?” O’Donnell asked.

“[The DIA] presented a report that wasn’t finished. We’re talking about something that took place three days ago. The report was done days ago,” Trump said, with O’Donnell attempting to push back. “Wait a minute, they didn’t see it. All they can do is take a guess. Now if you take a look at the pictures, if you take a look at how it’s all blackened. You know the fire and brimstone is all underground because it’s granite and it’s all underground. You don’t show it. But even there, with all of that being said, the whole area for 75 yards around, the hole where it hit is black with fire … It’s been obliterated, totally obliterated.”

Was it all Kayfabe all along?

President Trump just came right out and told you, for anyone with ears to hear.

What’s “Kayfabe” mean anyway?

In professional wrestling, kayfabe refers to the practice of maintaining the illusion that the staged events, rivalries, and characters are real, even though they are not. It’s a suspension of disbelief that allows audiences to become invested in the storylines and characters. Essentially, it’s the wrestling industry’s version of “the show must go on” and maintaining the appearance of legitimacy.

And is that what we just got with Iran’s “retaliation” strike against the USA?

President Trump just told you:

Check this out…

💥 KABOOM — President Trump literally confirms it was all KAYFAB with Iran!

“Iran was very nice, they gave us warning. They said we’re going to shoot them. Is 1 o’clock ok?

I said it’s fine… and everybody was emptied off the base, so they couldn’t get hurt.”

🔴 MY THOUGHTS:
Come on… you gotta admit this is a pretty weird thing to say, coming from a “terror regime”. Right?

Trump put Iran in check in 2018. We are watching a clandestine military operation take place.

The overwhelming majority of political pundits — from the biggest stars on Fox News to the lowliest “influencers” on social media — simply aren’t smart enough to offer new insights and thoughtful, original analysis of fast-breaking events.

Rubio Goes Off on Iran Leakers– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

All those breathless headlines about Iran’s nuclear program from the fake news media on Tuesday are, well, fake news. Shocking, I know.

We kind of already knew that, as my colleague Chris Queen reported yesterday and others have spoken out on it, but when it comes to foreign policy, I listen to one man and one man only, and that is Secretary of State Marco Rubio. On Wednesday,  he not only set the record straight on the impact of bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities, but he also explained why most of Europe is wrong to want to sanction Russia.

Rubio, who is traveling with President Donald Trump to Europe this week, sat down for an interview with Politico on Wednesday morning, and, as you can imagine, Iran was the first topic to come up. Rubio’s biggest problem with the situation is the intelligence leak and the fact that it was likely misread and/or misused just to embarrass the president or promote an agenda:

Well, I can’t talk to you about intelligence.  I can also tell you that intelligence leaks are one of the most frustrating things anywhere, not just because you’ve got somebody who has access to this putting stuff out there, but because it’s so often mischaracterized.  An intelligence report, for anyone who’s ever seen it, sometimes is an assessment.  Some analyst will make an assessment, or analysts will make an assessment.  And in these leaks, what you typically have is someone who read it and then leaks it to the media, giving it the spin and the angle they want it to have because they’ve got some purpose:  embarrass the administration, they were against the action, whatever it may be.

After expressing his frustration with intelligence leaks, he explained that our bombs did significant damage to Iran’s nuclear program.

Let me tell you this. The Iranian program, the nuclear program today, looks nothing like it did just a week ago. The program today has been set behind significantly from where it was a week ago. It is in far worse shape today than it was a week ago because of U.S. actions and because some of the actions the Israelis took. So the bottom line is they are much further away from a nuclear weapon today than they were before the President took this bold action. That’s the most important thing to understand. Significant, very significant, substantial damage was done to a variety of different components, and we’re just learning more about it.

Understand that most of the damage that occurred here in Fordow occurred deep underground. That’s why we used penetrator weaponry to do that. So that’s why I hate commenting on these stories, because often the first story is wrong and the person putting it out there has an agenda. And I would say that story is a false story and it’s one that really shouldn’t be re-reported because it doesn’t accurately reflect what’s happening here.

President Trump shut down Iran’s nuclear program and helped get a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. CNN is so upset about it; their reporting is worse than usual. Today’s show breaks it down.

“How can anyone be upset about that?” Crowder said.

Per a Truth Social post from the POTUS:

FAKE NEWS CNN, TOGETHER WITH THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES, HAVE TEAMED UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO DEMEAN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MILITARY STRIKES IN HISTORY. THE NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED! BOTH THE TIMES AND CNN ARE GETTING SLAMMED BY THE PUBLIC!

However, CNN would like you to believe otherwise.

According to CNN:

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.”

There’s A New Huge Twist in the Biden Autopen Scandal– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

In a jaw-dropping revelation that should shake every American to their core, former Biden advisor Neera Tanden has admitted under oath that she — not Joe Biden — was in control of the president’s autopen for nearly two years.

A top White House aide, utterly unelected and unknown to most of the country, had the authority to affix the President’s signature to official documents, including sweeping executive orders and controversial pardons, all while the nation was led to believe these were the deliberate actions of the commander-in-chief himself.

“As staff secretary, I was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president,” she testified. “I was also authorized to direct that autopen signatures be affixed to certain categories of documents.”

This isn’t some minor bureaucratic quirk. Tanden’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee exposes a chilling reality: for a significant stretch of Biden’s presidency, the man who was supposed to be in charge may have been little more than a figurehead, with crucial decisions and official acts rubber-stamped by staffers operating behind the scenes.

Tanden, who served as Senior Advisor and later as Staff Secretary, openly acknowledged that from October 2021 to May 2023, she was authorized to direct the use of the autopen on Biden’s behalf.

“We had a system for authorizing the use of the autopen that I inherited from prior administrations,” Tanden claimed. “We employed that system throughout my tenure as staff secretary.”

Despite her admission, she insists there was no abuse of the autopen or a cover-up.

At issue is the inclusion of the “Tackling Predatory Litigation Funding Act,” offered in the Senate version of the reconciliation bill by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and in the House by Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK).

Tillis said the goal was to stop predatory suits by hitting third-party funding of court actions, for which the funders get a piece of any settlement. Both Hern and Tillis warned that “foreign entities” are often the funders.

The Trump White House has opted not to grant executive privilege to nine former senior aides of Joe Biden, which will allow them to testify in a congressional investigation into the former president’s mental fitness for office and allegations that his staff covered up his cognitive decline.

According to a new report from Axios, people who will be required to provide testimony include Jill Biden’s adviser Anthony Bernal, Joe’s advisers Annie Tomasini, Ashley Williams, Neera Tanden, Mike Donilon, Anita Dunn, Ron Klain, Bruce Reed, and Steve Ricchetti.

The decision means the former aides must answer questions about their private conversations with Biden during closed-door interviews with the House Oversight Committee.

The aides could challenge the decision in court, as could Biden, but no such action has been reported at this time.

On Tuesday, the White House counsel’s office sent a letter to Tanden’s lawyers, which was obtained by Axios, stating that invoking executive privilege was not “in the national interest” due to the “exceptional circumstances” of the investigation.

ARREST HER, HOMAN: L.A.-Area Vice Mayor Encourages Gangs to Fight ICE– pjmedia.com

Source Link
Excerpt:

Did you hear the one about the Los Angeles-area vice mayor who (allegedly!) encouraged local gang members to “organize” against immigration control?

It’s no joke, but I’ll get back to that in just a sec after this important reminder.





It seems like just earlier this month [it was just earlier this month, Steve —Editor] that Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, threatened to arrest literally “anybody” interfering with ICE roundups of illegal aliens.

“Every day in L.A., we’re going to enforce immigration law,” Homan said during the “resistance” to ICE raids almost three weeks ago — and not for the first time. “I don’t care if they like it or not.”

“I’ll say it about anybody,” Homan said when asked if that applied to elected officials. “You cross that line, it’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien. It’s a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job.”

Then there’s Cynthia Gonzalez, vice mayor of Cudahy in southeast Los Angeles County. She didn’t so much cross Homan’s line but launched herself across it in rocket-boosted roller skates, waving pom-poms, and singing, “Let’s kill some ICE officers, everybody!” with the combined vocal power of all Three Tenors.

“Not for nothing, but I wanna know where all the cholos [gang members] are at in Los Angeles,” Gonzalez said in a since-deleted video posted to social media. “18th Street, Florencia. Where’s the leadership at?… Now that your hood is being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain’t a peep out of you… Don’t be trying to claim no block, no nothing if you’re not showing up right now trying to help out and organize.”





It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to know what Gonzalez means when she tells street gangs to “help out and organize.” Those folks aren’t exactly known for their skills at printing protest signs and chanting.

There’s a word for armed resistance to legal authorities. Someone want to remind me what it is?

Does maybe Tom Homan want to remind Ms. Gonzalez?

Do we need to remind Homan?

The Department of Homeland Security is fully aware of the vice mayor’s video. The official DHS X account reposted it yesterday, calling her words “despicable,” and including a stern warning.

“This kind of garbage has led to a more than 500 percent increase in assaults against our ICE law enforcement officers,” DHS posted. “Secretary Noem has been clear: If you assault a federal officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

That’s nice, but enough with the stern warnings already. Regular lawbreakers are difficult enough for any government to deal with. But when government officials encourage lawbreaking — hell, not just lawbreaking, but urging violence against law enforcement officers — without ever being held to account, that’s real Fall of Rome stuff.





I can tell you with 100% certainty that MAGA world is just itching to see some perp walks. Just one would do, really, to get people’s spirits up. Seriously, fellas, we were promised some perp walks, and certain Democrats — I’m looking at you, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and now Cynthia Gonzalez — are practically begging to spend at least the night in a local lockup.

The ball’s in your court, Mr. Homan — and so are the cuffs.

Following President Donald Trump’s decisive strike on Iran’s nuclear sites, federal agencies and local officials in key U.S. cities and states are leaving nothing to chance, stepping up security efforts and heightening surveillance to guard against potential threats.

After President Trump took decisive action to launch a surprise attack on Iran’s nuclear program, taking out Iran’s three major nuclear facilities, Tehran warned the United States that it would counterattack with retaliatory strikes, saying that it would “cause deep regret.”

“Today’s act of aggression by the terrorist American regime has granted the Islamic Republic of Iran the legitimate right to act in self-defense, including through options that go beyond the delusional calculations of the aggressor coalition,” an IRGC statement published on Iran’s state-affiliated news agency Tasnim said. “The invaders should expect responses that will cause deep regret.”

In response, federal authorities and top leaders across the U.S. have ramped up security measures to monitor for potential threats.

Poll Shows Most Christian Voters Would “Never Consider Voting for a Democrat”– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

Over the course of his third presidential campaign, President Donald Trump repeatedly presented himself as a defender of American Christians and his rivals, then-President Joe Biden and then-Vice President Kamala Harris, as opponents and even persecutors of the Christian faith. A new survey is showing that American Christians largely agreed with Trump’s rhetoric, even if not with all of his policy decisions. Change Research conducted what Time Magazine called “one of the largest polls of Christian voters ever to quantify the mood of the nation’s largest voting bloc,” and found that American Christians broadly do not trust the Democratic Party.

According to the survey, 75% of Christian voters say that they have “little or no trust in the Democratic Party,” while 58% say that party elites and leaders are “hostile to Christianity,” 54% say that even Democratic voters are “hostile to Christianity,” and 62% say that they would “never consider voting for a Democrat.”

Doug Pagitt, the “progressive pastor” who commissioned the study, told Time that Democrats have crippled their electoral prowess by ignoring and denigrating American Christians and Christian values. “You can’t be the majority party if you ignore the majority faith in this country,” he said. Pointing to the success Republicans have had with Christian voters, he continued, “Republicans have made a concerted effort. Democrats have done everything they can never to name that [Christian] identity. They have a built-in bias against these identities in the Democratic Party.” Pagitt opined that Democrats “squandered” their chances with Christian voters in the 2024 election. “They just walked away,” he said.

Pro-life activist challenges San Diego’s abortion ‘buffer zone’ law as unconstitutional– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

Roger Lopez is a sidewalk counselor in San Diego who regularly offers resources and emotional support to women outside of abortion centers. Lopez could be seen standing outside San Diego’s downtown Planned Parenthood 2-3 hours a day, praying and talking with women considering abortion. Court documents show that this particular Planned Parenthood was responsible for 24,000 abortions a year.

To combat sidewalk counselors such as Lopez in the name of “public safety,” the city of San Diego enacted “bubble zones” around abortion centers to minimize their outreach. These zones established a 100-foot buffer around the facility entrance, along with an 8-foot floating zone for individuals moving within that area.

In response, Lopez and the Thomas More Society filed a lawsuit claiming the new ordinance violated Lopez’s 1st and 14th Amendment rights to speak freely in public places.

Peter Breen, executive vice president and head of litigation at the Thomas More Society, emphasized in a press release the blatant violation of the Constitution that San Diego has committed by not allowing free speech on a public sidewalk.

“The right to freedom of speech is at its highest on the public sidewalk, so attempts like San Diego’s to silence pro-life speech outside abortion businesses is an especially egregious attack on our constitutional rights,” Breen emphasized.

Special counsel Paul Jonna expressed the vital emotional support provided by sidewalk counselors, noting that many women seeking abortions may not receive such information from any other source.

“Pro-life sidewalk counselors like Roger Lopez offer these women help, compassion, support, and information. But the City of San Diego wants to deprive women of this information—leading them to mistakenly believe that abortion is their only option,” Jonna said.

Trump Attorney Will Prosecute Abortion Activists Who Attacked Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers– www.lifenews.com

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon promised to hold criminals accountable for bombing and vandalizing pro-life pregnancy centers with the same law formerly used to jail pro-lifers.

Dhillon’s Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice (DOJ) aims to bring “numerous” such cases using the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, she told The Daily Signal in a Thursday interview. The Biden administration primarily used the FACE Act to prosecute pro-life activists for peacefully protesting at abortion clinics, despite the law also protecting pregnancy resource centers and houses of worship.

“While the statute is in place, it provides protection for both people who are going to abortion clinics as well as crisis pregnancy centers,” Dhillon said, echoing statements she made in April. Dhillon expanded on her goals in the Daily Signal interview.

Working Class Wages Rise Under Trump– www.dailysignal.com

In his fight to elevate life for the Forgotten Americans, President Donald Trump has already shattered another record in his second term in support of blue-collar Americans. During Trump’s first five months of his second term, real wages for hourly workers saw their largest increase under any administration in nearly 60 years.

Blue-collar U.S. workers saw real wages grow 1.7% thus far during the second Trump administration—a stark contrast from the negative wage growth seen during the first five months of the Biden administration. “The only other time it has been this high … was during President Trump’s first term,” Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said in an interview with the New York Post.

Bessent attributed the rise in working-class wages first to Trump’s policy focus on reviving manufacturing.

“Since Richard Nixon in 1969, Trump has been the only president to record positive growth for blue-collar workers in his first five months. He also achieved 1.3% in his first term,” noted the Post’s Miranda Devine. “The recovery from a 1.7% decline recorded in Biden’s first five months, as inflation outpaced earnings, suggests a shift in economic conditions for this financially stressed segment of the workforce.”

The modern Democrat Party is many things. But an ardent defender of Americans’ First Amendment right to free speech is not one of them.

This theme was front and center during a sit-down interview former President Barack Obama participated in at The Connecticut Forum earlier this week. At one point in his conversation with historian and author Heather Cox Richardson, America’s 44th commander-in-chief broached the subject of “propaganda” and how “[t]hose in power, those with money, exploit [the information] space in which nobody knows what’s true.”

“Vladimir Putin and the KGB had a saying that was then adopted proudly by Steve Bannon, which was if you want propaganda to be effective, you don’t have to convince people that what you are saying is true,” Obama said. “You just have to flood the zone with so much poop. They use a different word. But you have to flood the zone with so much untruth, constantly, that at some point people don’t believe anything.”

The former president went on to take an indirect shot at President Donald Trump’s contesting of the 2020 election results, saying, “it doesn’t matter if a candidate running for office just is constantly, just hypothetically, saying untrue things, or if an elected president claims that he won when he lost and that the system was rigged, but then when he wins, then it isn’t rigged, because he won.” Tying it back to his remarks about “propaganda,” he noted, “It just matters if everybody starts kind of throwing up their hands and saying, well, I guess it doesn’t matter.”

“And that’s what’s happened. That’s what’s happened in one of our major political parties. You have a whole bunch of people who know that’s not true, but we will pretend like it is. And that is dangerous,” Obama said.

Trump’s National Guard Order Is Not a Danger to America, but Hyperpolitical Generals and Admirals Are – RedState– redstate.com

One of the most disturbing trends in politics since the 2000 election has been retired admirals and generals trading on their former military rank to meddle in partisan politics. The trend really hit its stride in 2008, when Barack Obama enlisted about 60 retired flag officers/general officers as campaign surrogates. Since then, Democrat presidential candidates trotting out tamed FOGOs to give them national security cred has become a standard, reaching a possible nadir when at least ten of them endorsed Kamala Harris and characterized Trump as “dangerous.”

President Trump’s well-founded decision to federalize a portion of the California Army National Guard (4,100 of a force of about 24,000) has caused another spasm of inappropriate political activity by retired generals. Several joined Gavin Newsom’s specious lawsuit attempting to limit Trump’s authority granted by Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution by filing an amicus brief. That case was demolished by a panel of the Ninth Circuit on Thursday; see Breaking: 9th Circuit Issues Stay Pending Appeal in CA National Guard Case, Handing Trump a Big Win.

One of their allies was granted editorial space on Fox News to spread what can only be called a disingenuous, bordering on overtly dishonest, description of the situation. Retired Major General Randy Manner essentially paraphrases the arguments in the amicus brief filed supporting Newsom’s push to institutionalize lawlessness in California. In his profile, he omits the small fact that he endorsed Kamala Harris, but full disclosure is for losers, anyway.

In a vapid op-ed headlined I led National Guard and regular Army units. Using the military to intimidate Americans is 100% wrong. Manner makes the extraordinary charge that the Trump administration is engaged in a “dramatic misuse of power and could lead to disastrous legal, operational and ethical outcomes.” So what are the specific instances of “misuse of power?”

Every so often, an academic wrapped in the robes of theory decides to rewrite history — not to correct it, but to commandeer it.

The latest example comes from the Conversation, in which a University of Iowa scholar, Sarah Barringer, claims that Christianity has a “transgender” heritage. You heard that right: Saints who renounced the world to live in chastity and devotion are now being posthumously enlisted in a modern identity crusade they never chose.

The modern obsession with identity — splintering the self into ever-narrower categories — is antithetical to the Christian ethos.

Let’s acknowledge the truth up front: There is no such thing as a “transgender saint.” There are saints who disguised themselves, fled arranged marriages, and shaved their heads and donned robes to live among men in monasteries because that was the only place they could escape danger, obligation, or temptation.

But calling this “transness” is like calling Joan of Arc gender-fluid because she wore armor. It’s historical trespassing and spiritual identity theft dressed up as scholarship.

President Trump, please disavow the Commission on Population Growth– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

(LifeSiteNews) — U.S. government agencies have never engaged in open coercion to force down the birth rate, at least within the borders of the United States. (USAID’s past actions overseas are another matter.)…

The blueprint for this assault on American families and American fertility was drawn up way back in 1972 by something called the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future.

The Commission was the brainchild of one of America’s original population bomb fanatics, John D. Rockefeller III, who also happened to be one of the wealthiest men on the planet.

Like many of his fellow globalist elites—think Bill Gates and Warren Buffet—Rockefeller had long been convinced that Americans were having way too many babies. And he decided that it was past time to use a whole-of-government approach to put a stop to this reckless reproduction.

Rockefeller badgered President Richard Nixon into setting up the Commission on Population Growth in 1970 and appointing him as chairman. Over the next two years he steered it with an iron hand, using it to concoct a comprehensive plan that he hoped would stop America’s population growth dead in its tracks.

The report that he issued, called Population and the American Future, was a population controller’s dream. It began—as such screeds always do—with a stark warning: Unless something was done to stop America’s high birth rates, the population of the U.S. would explode from 203 million in 1970 to 300 million by 2000.

Grim consequences would follow, the report warned: Cities would become overcrowded cesspools of poverty and racial tension. Inequality would grow. Hordes of children would strain schools and other social services to the breaking point. Pressure on natural resources like water and energy would escalate as cities sprawled across the landscape, full of people sowing pollution wherever they went.

Michigan Women Face More Botched Abortions as Complications Increase 38%– www.lifenews.com

On Tuesday, June 24, Right to Life of Michigan joins pro-lifers and people of good will across the country in celebrating the end of an era of destruction wrought by the U.S. Supreme Court’s ill-fated Roe v. Wade decision.

Roe created an environment in which, all too often, women were isolated in fear and the pressure to “not be pregnant.” The “right to choose” quickly became an abortion-only response to unplanned pregnancy. The lives of more than 60 million innocent unborn children were lost, women’s well-being and health trampled upon, and the widespread destruction of families and communities ensued. The Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision means Roe is no more, yet much of its impact remains with us today.

In Michigan, Proposal 3 passed just five months after the Dobbs decision, making abortion legal through all nine months of pregnancy. Radical abortion activists in our state pushed forward, removing health and safety regulations from abortion clinics, overturning informed consent — stripping away a woman’s right to know about common risks associated with abortion, and undermining industry transparency by ending abortion complication reporting.

CULTURE OF DEATH: After Late Term Abortions, British MPs Now Approve Assisted Suicide Bill – PM Starmer Votes for It – Campaigners Vow To Resist Legislation in the House of Lords | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com

Starmer is taking the UK down a dark path.

The culture of death is taking hold of the United Kingdom.

A mere two days after the UK House of Commons voted to decriminalize late-term abortion ‘up to birth’, the Labour party of failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer has approved a bill legalizing assisted suicide.

Starmer was glad to vote for the bill, and – as proof of just how committed the UK has become to the culture of death – a good deal of Tories (including failed Globalist, former PM Rishi Sunak) and even Reform UK MPs also backed the bill.

The ‘Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill’ was approved in the House of Commons by 314 votes with 291 against, a majority of 23 (down from a majority of 55 in the last reading of the bill).

The Bill now goes to the House of Lords for further scrutiny, and if approved in the upper house it will ‘pave the way for assisted dying services to be introduced by the end of the decade’.

But there’s ongoing pushback from the right-thinking decent folk of Britain.

The Telegraph reported:

“Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern, said: ‘This should not be treated as a conscience issue. It is assisting a person to kill themselves. We need political parties and leaders to rise up who will speak clearly on this point and refuse to implement a state suicide service’ […] Ross Hendy, CEO of the charity, CARE, described the result as ‘a blow to human dignity and people whose legitimate fears have been dismissed as irrelevant’.”
