Per Just the News:

David Saylor filed the Nashville petition and Kyle Fulkerson filed the Minneapolis petition with free legal aid from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.

The Minnesota workers voted 26-7 on May 1 to remove the union while the Tennessee workers voted 15-8 on May 8 for the removal.

Polls show that 40% of voters in battleground states are either “not too satisfied” or “not at all satisfied” with the choice of Joe Biden or Donald Trump for president. But for Senate Democrats in competitive states, running with an incumbent president whose approval numbers are underwater is a crapshoot.

“If you go out there and do a focus group, the focus groups all say, ‘He’s 200 years old. You got to be kidding me.’ And the worst part about it is for unaffiliated voters or people that haven’t made up their mind, they look at this and say: ‘You have to be kidding us. These are our choices?’ And they indict us for not taking it seriously,” said a Democratic senator who requested anonymity.

The United States Supreme Court has refused to hear arguments in a challenge against Maryland’s anti-Second Amendment ban on so-called “assault weapons.”

The Supreme Court decided not to jump the line and rule on the case while a lower court is still considering it.

It was an expected ruling and the court did not elaborate on it.

The court is also considering whether to weigh in on a similar ban in Illinois, which is already being appealed.

Word began to spread Monday evening around dinnertime: A House bill would be going to the floor Tuesday morning, designed to stop a returning Trump administration from reinstating his 11th-hour attempt to set architectural standards for federal buildings.

The bill was defeated at the last minute by a network of activists and sympathetic politicians but represented a broader shift in D.C. political strategy: As concerns mount that President Joe Biden might lose re-election, Democrats in the White House and Congress have worked to sabotage and hamstring a returning Donald Trump on issues from immigration and foreign policy to spending and classical architecture.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) will soon decide whether they will issue arrest warrants for the leaders of Israel who have led the campaign to return the hostages taken on October 7th and bring the murderous leaders of Hamas to justice.

If it seems ironic that a court of justice would condemn these leaders, don’t worry. Our heads are still spinning too. There is at least one person, however, who presumably isn’t surprised by this outrage: Donald Trump.

Trump is now 2-for-2 on warning the world about corrupt entities that have played a huge role in stoking the fire during the Israel-Gaza conflict that erupted after Oct. 7.

In a rare moment of candor, the FBI admitted it is “standard protocol” to entrap their opponents and try to kill them in unannounced raids.

“The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants,” the brown shirts said, regarding news that they were prepared to use deadly force in their illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago.

You’d be forgiven for not knowing they always have a combat medic at the scene when they send the Gestapo out to seize papers, except, of course, if they’re kept in an unlocked garage behind a corvette. Then they don’t send anybody at all.

Veteran Democrat political strategist James Carville has blasted President Joe Biden for complaining about his media coverage.

Appearing on Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show, the former Bill Clinton advisor warned that Biden’s “age issue is  suffocating him.”

“I do think the president has to deal, the age issue is suffocating him,” Carville told Psaki in response to a question about how Biden and President Donald Trump could possibly be tied in the polls.

“He needs to bring up that he is only four years older than Trump.”

Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) announced on Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with a skull tumor and will undergo surgery to have it removed.

Murphy, a doctor himself, said he has the “utmost faith in my physicians and surgeons” to remove the tumor, which is called a pituitary macroadenoma. Though it is thought to be benign, the size and “subsequent ability to affect vital structures” of the brain requires surgical removal, the North Carolina congressman said.

“As a physician I have, for the last 30 years, taken care of thousands and thousands of patients. It is now my turn to be one,” Murphy said in an email.

“The prognosis is excellent, and I hope to be back to work full-time soon,” Murphy continued. “I am, as are all things, in the hands of God and am at absolute peace. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers and hope everyone understands our desire for privacy at this time.”

Pennsylvania’s State Department issued a directive in 2018 that may allow noncitizens and other ineligible applicants to register to vote in violation of the 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA), according to a complaint brought by America First Legal (AFL) and obtained first by The Federalist.

HAVA requires a voter to provide a valid driver’s license number — or, if and only if he has no driver’s license, the last four digits of his Social Security number — on his voter registration form. Election officials are then required to confirm whether the numbers provided are valid by checking them against state and federal databases. The system is meant to ensure that prospective voters are eligible. (Notably, foreign nationals can still obtain a Social Security number or driver’s license.)

Illegal aliens are admitting that they are rushing to cross the border into the United States before the critical November presidential election.

Many say they are hoping to take advantage of Democrat President Joe Biden’s open border policies as they fear he will lose re-election.

Illegal border crossers told New York Post reporter Jennie Taer that they fear President Donald Trump will secure the Southern Border if elected in November.

After illegally crossing the Arizona border last week, two migrants from Colombia told Taer that they were concerned about the outcome of the upcoming general election.

Joe Biden may be the biggest embarrassment to the executive office in US history.

The installed commander-in-chief traveled to Nashua, New Hampshire on Tuesday to sell his legislative accomplishment this election year.

While discussing the impact of the PACT Act, a law that helps veterans receive benefits for toxic exposure during their service, Biden went on a tangent offering his supporters marital advice.

“And by the way,” Biden said. “I say to every young man thinking of getting married, marry into a family with five or more daughters. I did. My wife’s the oldest of five sisters.”

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is demanding the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York to recuse himself from the case over allegations his daughter is using the indictment for financial gain.

In an ethics complaint submitted to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct on Tuesday, Stefanik is urging Judge Juan Merchan to step down from the case over allegations his daughter is leveraging the trial to make money through her fundraising agency. The complaint comes as other House Republicans have also targeted Merchan over his daughter’s politics, deeming it a conflict of interest.

“Judge Merchan currently presides over the criminal case against President Donald J. Trump brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg,” Stefanik wrote in the complaint. “If convicted, President Trump faces a maximum of 136 years’ imprisonment. Moreover, he is the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party for this November’s presidential election. As such, not only are President Trump’s interests at stake, the interests of all Americans are at stake.”

Republican cowards anonymously going after him in the media on the matter need to sit down.

There are plenty of things that warrant criticism levied at Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (e.g. Ukraine aid with no border security).

But his visual display of support at former President Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan isn’t one of those things.

And yet, three feckless GOP lawmakers ran to The Hill over the weekend to chastise him for the show of force. Why? Because they’re concerned the party might have to cede the higher ground on family values.

Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro, currently serving a four-month sentence for refusing to cooperate with a congressional probe, has made startling predictions about what a second term under Donald Trump would entail. Speaking exclusively to Semafor, Navarro outlined a scenario that includes the removal of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell within the first 100 days of the 2024 Trump administration, alongside plans for mass deportations of illegal aliens and increased tariffs on Chinese goods.

Navarro played a pivotal role in implementing key economic strategies in the first Trump administration, including his work on tariff policies and trade renegotiations.

Navarro, who previously directed Trump’s Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, remains steadfast in his loyalty to President Trump. His insights, shared from his current confinement at a minimum-security facility in Miami, suggest that Trump’s inner circle still values the America First agenda. According to Semafor author Gina Chon, a recent visit to Navarro from Donald Trump Jr., which we covered, indicates a potential future role in another Trump administration.
