Gag orders, constitutionally dubious, are meant to protect the integrity of a judicial proceeding.
However, even with the trial over, the gag orders imposed on former President Trump are not going away.
DA Bragg’s office (which had just freed the antisemitic Columbia Hamas rioters) demanded a continuation of the gag order which prohibits him from commenting on the individuals involved in the trial.
Since Trump is also running for president and Biden is spending $50 million to attack him over the various Democrat trials imposed on him, this effectively bans a presidential candidate from debating a campaign issue.
A mob in north-western Pakistan has broken into a police station, snatched a man who was held there and then lynched him over allegations that he had desecrated Islam's holy book, the Koran.
The dead man, Mohammad Ismail, was a tourist who had been staying at a hotel in the town when a gang of locals turned on him and accused him of blasphemy.
The attackers also torched the station in Madyan, a town in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and burned police vehicles parked there, according to local police officials.
Former President Trump called to offer condolences to Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, the mother of five who was allegedly raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, prompting a very different reaction than her response to the Biden administration’s seeming indifference to her pain.
Patty Morin revealed on Wednesday that no one in the Biden administration had reached out to her after the arrest of Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23, who was arrested last Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma and charged with first-degree murder and first-degree rape in Rachel Morin’s death. Morin was murdered while she was reportedly jogging
Former President Donald Trump is expected to hold a huge rally in Virginia Friday, the day after he faces President Joe Biden on the debate stage for the first time in the 2024 cycle.
The move is meant to exude confidence, as Biden beat Trump in Virginia in 2020 by 10.2 points, whereas now Trump seems to be within striking distance.
It's stirring up VP rumors too, as Trump will reportedly be joined by Virginia's popular Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin - who was once being pushed by some Republican donors to run against Trump in the 2024 GOP primaries - an opportunity the first-term governor declined.
New data has revealed the most expensive state for a family of four to get by - and it is not California or New York.
In Massachusetts, a family of four needs to earn a salary of at least $150,578 to cover their basic needs, according to a new study from SmartAsset, which is largely due to soaring housing and childcare costs in the state.
Hawaii is the second most expensive state for families, followed by Connecticut in third place.
New York comes in fourth, while California is the fifth most expensive state for a family to make ends meet, it found.
A new report found that President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is labeling Trump supporters, and military and religious people as potential “terror threats” to the United States. According to documents obtained by American First Legal (AFL), the DHS board called “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” revealed that the Biden Administration views “a person likely to commit “domestic violent extremist” attacks with those who support former President Donald Trump, are “in the military,” or are “religious.”
This week we've seen a flurry of activity related to the first 2024 presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former POTUS Donald Trump, scheduled for Thursday, June 27th, and hosted/moderated by CNN. For instance, we've learned that Biden, as per the norm, will go into hiding to do preparations while Trump plans to stay out in the field campaigning. It has also been reported that independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won't be on the debate stage after all due to an alleged failure to meet certain qualifying benchmarks.
Media outlets like CBS News and the AP have also noted that the Biden campaign is promising some "surprises"
During the Constitution ratification debates between the Federalists (who supported ratification) and the Anti-Federalists (who opposed it), one of the most strident areas of disagreement was the extent to which the proposed position of president of the United States was actually an ersatz king. Leading Anti-Federalists thought the new president would be a thinly veiled monarch. In response, leading Federalists -- including those who would eventually hold radically different views of presidential powers -- joined forces to assuage Anti-Federalist concerns.
Multiple essays of The Federalist Papers, the Federalists' eponymous effort to publicly promote the ratification of the Constitution, were dedicated to explaining the nature of the office of the presidency.
The 2024 federal budget deficit will climb to $1.9 trillion, which is $400 billion more than projected, thanks, in large part, to student loan “forgiveness.”
The largest portion of that $400 billion surprise comes from “a $145 billion increase that’s partly due to changes the Biden administration made to student loan repayment plans and a new, proposed forgiveness program that would waive some accrued interest for millions of borrowers.”
Well, that’s how CNNLOL spins it, but, in Normal People language, it goes something like this… In a craven bid to purchase votes from a young demographic that he’s losing to Orange Man Bad, Biden is transferring student loan obligations from the privileged
True peace, one that sees people of good will living in harmony with each other despite differing attitudes on some issues, is a wonderful thing. I’d certainly like to see a world like that, although faith tells us it won’t happen without divine intervention. In the real world, there are bad actors, but some once-naïve peace activists—including one former Israeli hostage—are giving up on their Utopian dreams and finally facing reality.
To understand the lunatic nature of leftist peace activists, let’s take a walk through the animal kingdom. Porcupines speak softly and carry big stickers (pun intended). Skunks speak softly and carry bit stinks.
Consider the following four news developments, which have all broken since last weekend: News emerged today that an illegal immigrant has been charged in the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in Iowa. The Washington Examiner reports that the Honduran suspect in the case entered the United States illegally in the spring of 2022 -- he's one of President Biden's "newcomers" -- near Hidalgo, Texas. This story comes on the heels of the horrifying rape of a 13-year-old by an illegal immigrant in New York City, who confessed to police this week that he'd filmed his crime, which was committed in broad daylight.
A Nevada judge on Friday dismissed the alternate electors’ case against six Republicans who were alleged to have submitted fraudulent certificates to Congress in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
Clark County Judge Mary Kay Holthus issued a bench ruling on Friday during a hearing at the Clark County District Court that dismissed the case, according to courtroom reporters. The judge said she was not convinced by state prosecutors’ arguments that Clark County was the proper venue to hear the case, appearing to side with defense attorneys who said the signing of the certificates occurred in Douglas County.

Netanyahu's ICC Arrest Warrant: 'I'm Available!' replies
Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced it was seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Such a move, from a body with serious legitimacy and enforcement concerns, looks to equate the victim and the perpetrator of the October 7 attack that Hamas committed against our ally in the Middle East. Earlier this month the House passed a bill to sanction the ICC, with even some Democrats joining. Other Democrats however, would rather do the ICC's bidding, especially Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, who reminded "I am available" to do so.
It’s a sweltering start to the summer as a heat advisory is in effect for New York City on Friday, sending temperatures soaring into the 90s — with no relief in sight for days. The Post’s thermometer read a stifling 100 degrees in Times Square by mid-afternoon. By Sunday, we’ll be close to record heat when the mercury is expected to climb to a high of 94 with real-feel temps reaching 101, according to FOX Weather.
An old Russian proverb admonishes readers to “Pray to God, but row away from the rocks.”
Good advice. But based on the dreadful macroeconomic strategies and visible results of the Biden administration’s policies, their misreading of this adage has had them commanding the ship of state at flank speeds towards the financial rocks.
The broad areas where Biden took us off course toward the shallows deal with strangling oil and gas availability, and unsustainable government overspending, both resulting in higher interest rates. His administration’s radical moves have greatly contributed to the inflationary conditions with which we are now grappling.

While speaking out against Biden-era immigration protocol Thursday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” former Immigrations and Customs Enforcement acting director Tom Homan also criticized Republicans who opposed impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Homan said those Republican lawmakers could “go to hell,” and he talked about the threat that he argued was being concealed by sanctuary cities and other governments that do not compile specific data about violent crimes.
Bill Belichick’s 23-year-old girlfriend, former cheerleader Jordon Hudson, returned to the mat amid the media circus surrounding the newfound relationship.,Hudson, a former cheerleader at Bridgewater State University, was performing stunts as a flyer at a practice for East Celebrity Elite Hingham in the Boston area Thursday night. The brunette sported a teal top and Nike shorts with white sneakers during the practice, which reportedly lasted two hours.
United States Border Patrol (USBP) agents have arrested more than 13,700 illegal aliens with criminal convictions so far in 2024, the Republican National Committee (RNC) said on Friday.
In addition, officials arrested hundreds of gang members, the RNC noted, citing a social media post from USBP Chief Jason Owens. This FY [Fiscal Year], USBP has apprehended over 13.7K illegal migrants w/ criminal convictions. Over 360 of these have had gang affiliations. Individuals like these can pose a significant threat to public safety. We must be able to apprehend & identify them, so we can prosecute & remove them.

Well, it shouldn't shock anyone to learn that Instagram, the popular social media platform owned by Meta, is grooming children.
Studies from The Wall Street Journal and Northeastern University computer science professor Laura Edelson found that the platform recommends sexualized content to young teens soon after they start using a new account.
Test accounts were created for the study, with the age set at 13, and it was discovered that adult content was being shown within three minutes of scrolling through Instagram Reels.
The tests, run over seven months ending in June, show that the social-media service has continued pushing adult-oriented content to minors after parent Meta Platforms said in January
The world's largest airline pilot union suggested airmen and women stop using terms purportedly offensive to women and LGBTQ individuals, calling out terms like "cockpit" as non-inclusive.
Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, represents over 70,000 pilots worldwide and states that it collaborates with a United Nations agency on its policies. According to a diversity, equity and inclusion language guide released in 2021, the ALPA lists numerous terms and phrases to avoid — especially "masculine generalizations" — that it deemed to be non-inclusive. (snip) Similarly, ALPA's guide called for the words "man" and "men" to be avoided. (snip) ALPA advised against using "mother/father."
Joe Biden’s three-and-a-half-year long porous border has without a doubt allowed some vicious terrorists to enter our country. The odds demand it. It cannot be otherwise, given that almost zero care is being given to Americans and keeping these demons out. For Biden’s reign of error so far, Americans were lied to by Mayorkas and Karine Jean-Pierre, to name only two, that “the border is secure,” “the border is closed,” and “we are watching the border.” Yes, that last was true, they were watching the border; they watched it vacuum up migrants from other countries into our sovereign land and did nothing to stop it.
As some Catholics know, Archbishop Viganò is a hero in the eyes of many who do not enjoy the spectacle of Pope Francis’ continual and seemingly ongoing reversal of Catholic teaching and law. The hyperpolitical, leftist Pope has been, by his own words, engaged in irreversibly (he hopes) and increasingly modifying (according to his own predilections) the Catholic Church since he took papal office. Sound like anybody you know? Viganò has been consistently faithful to Canon Law and to the established teachings of the Church, [Snip] Actually, if there has been, or might be, any schism, it could sooner be laid at the door of Pope Francis himself.
NEW YORK — Prosecutors who handled Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial asked a judge to keep in place most of the restrictions imposed by a gag order, but conceded it was no longer necessary to limit the former president’s comments about witnesses who testified against him.
In a filing made public Friday, prosecutors cited “intensified” threats against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, his family and the office’s staff, disclosing that two people involved in the case received bomb threats at their homes on the first day of the trial. Prosecutors described those threats as “directly connected to defendant’s dangerous rhetoric about this prosecution.”
Former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance in a Friday podcast episode accused former President Donald Trump of “abusing the system” by using his rights as a defendant to legally delay his cases.
Trump has successfully delayed the cases he faces as a defendant, making it so some are unlikely to occur before the upcoming presidential election. Vance on “Defending Democracy” criticized Trump while praising Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and special counsel Jack Smith for their efforts to accelerate the cases against the former president and hold his “feet to the fire.” “I mean, it’s tough, right? It is a balancing act,” Vance said.
The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a federal statute that bans gun possession by individuals who are subject to a domestic violence-related restraining order.
The 8-1 decision in United States v. Rahimi, in which only Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, reverses a previous Fifth Circuit ruling on the matter.
“Since the founding, our Nation’s firearm laws have included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms,” writes Chief Justice John Roberts, adding that the federal statute at hand “fits comfortably within this tradition.”

President Biden went to Camp David on Thursday to prepare for next week’s first presidential debate where he will face off against former President Donald Trump after independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to qualify. The CNN debate on June 27, which will be moderated by anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, will be the first of two scheduled, with the second coming Sept. 10.
According to a campaign official, Ron Klain, Biden's former chief of staff, is leading the debate preparations. Other senior campaign aides and longtime advisers, including Cedric Richmond, a former White House aide and current campaign co-chair,
Former President Donald Trump has made it a point to do something that most, if not all, previous Republican presidential candidates have failed to do in recent years: actively engage the black American community and try to earn their vote.
On Saturday, in Philadelphia, Trump is doing exactly that by holding a rally in a predominantly “black and brown” (as the Left likes to say) neighborhood. And it seems to be a historic rally given that no other Republican candidate has seemingly held such a campaign event in such a neighborhood in Philadelphia in recent memory. The rally will be held at the Liacouras Center at Temple University.
“I just wanted people to hear the voice of the voiceless,” Nashville songwriter Chris Wallin said of the new country single “I Was Gonna Be,” a powerful pro-life anthem written from the point of view of a baby that never had a chance to be born. “I truly believe this is a God thing that happened.”
Wallin, who has penned hits for some of country music’s biggest stars, including Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Garth Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, and Kenny Chesney, said the writing process for “I Was Gonna Be” was deeply personal. In an interview with Breitbart News Daily’s Mike Slater on Sirius XM Patriot 125,
Donald Trump defended the media after the White House claimed videos of President Joe Biden freezing are 'deceptively edited.'
The former president decried Biden, 81, for 'humiliating' the U.S. on the world stage after a series of awkward interactions during international trips and domestic events.
The 78-year-old told a rally in Racine, Wisconsin, that Biden 'looked like he didn't know where the hell he was' and mocked White House aides for blaming AI and the media.'Joe Biden is humiliating our country on the world stage,' Trump said. He's actually humiliating us – you saw what happened this weekend?!
Former President Donald Trump pledged to release all the assassination files on President John F. Kennedy should he be reelected in November.
'This time I'm just going to do it,' Trump promised during a taping of an episode of the All-In podcast, which was released Thursday.
The former president and presumptive Republican nominee was asked by co-host Chamath Palihapitiya what was in the JFK files that Trump didn't release publicly during his first term. The former president said he was encouraged to keep some of the information on the Kennedy assassination secret - and then made a bold claim regarding who was responsible for any cover-up.
As the death toll rises, debate is raging over whether bad organization, weather or gate-crashing pilgrims are to blame for more than 1,000 reported deaths in Saudi Arabia during the annual Hajj religious gathering. Arabic-language social media has been flooded this week with shocking images from Saudi Arabia. The pictures and videos show people who were undertaking their once-in-a-lifetime Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca collapsed on the side of the road or slumped in wheelchairs, apparently close to death or dead. They are dressed in traditional pilgrim's white, their faces covered with cloths.
Former President Donald Trump’s new proposal to exclude tips from federal taxes is getting strong reviews from some Republican lawmakers, though major questions remain about the impact of the policy and how it would work.
What’s certain is that a change in the taxation of tips would affect millions. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there are 2.24 million waiters and waitresses across the country, with tips making up a large percentage of their income.
A look at what Trump’s proposing and the possible political and economic ramifications:

Most of the time Fox News builds in plausible deniability; however, this time the notorious Fox News pollster Daron Shaw has gone full bananas on behalf of those who pay him to create polling narratives.
Daron Shaw should be well known to CTH readers {Go Deep}. Shaw has been the Fox News poll manipulator and narrative engineer for over a decade. Knowing the Trump v Biden debate was coming, we knew Fox News would arrange some anti-Trumpism media narrative to capitalize on the predictable corporate theme. However, to see the Fox team make “Threats To Democracy” the #1 concern of voters, is just a talking point too far.
I was wrong.
Well, maybe not "wrong." More like "not entirely accurate." Oh, let's just go ahead and admit I was blatantly, stupidly, idiotically wrong about Trump not being able to catch up with Joe Biden's fundraising before Election Day. rump's conviction has unleashed a cash tsunami that has closed the fundraising gap with Joe Biden in one fell swoop.
The numbers are unbelievable. Trump outraised Biden by $60 million in May. The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee said it raised a staggering $141 million in May. Most importantly,

The Washington Post said Friday that newly named editor Robert Winnett has decided not to take the job and remain in Britain instead, another upheaval at a news outlet where a reorganization plan has gone disastrously wrong.
The Post’s CEO and publisher, Will Lewis, announced Winnett’s decision to withdraw in a note to staff on Friday morning, and said a recruitment firm would be hired to launch a search for a replacement immediately.

Six years after California legalized marijuana, the bodies keep piling up. Earlier this year, six men were murdered in the Mojave Desert. Four of the men had been burned after being shot with rifles. In 2020, seven people were killed at an illegal pot operation in Riverside County.
Violence like this was supposed to disappear after legalization. Legalization advocates argued that making the drug trade legal would end the grip of the cartels. Instead, the legal market has failed, and the cartels are taking over sizable parts of California and the rest of the country.
California's legal drug revenues have fallen consistently, as have those in other legal drug states including Colorado,
In the race for Albany County District Attorney, The Post endorses incumbent DA David Soares as a voice of reason.
Twenty years ago, Soares, then a Soros-backed progressive, ran for district attorney as a reformer denouncing the tough Rockefeller drug laws that established mandatory-minimum sentences for narcotics crimes.
In office, he’s developed innovative alternatives to incarceration that have helped defendants while protecting public safety.
Today, Soares has come under fire from progressives because he keeps telling the truth about how recent, ill-conceived “criminal justice reforms” (like no-bail and Raise the Age) are disasters for the larger community, especially poor and minority communities.
President Trump has focused his 2024 campaign on a number of issues that one would expect, but he shook up the game this summer by issuing a new policy proposal: “No Tax On Tips.”
While his campaign hasn’t released the usual detailed policy papers on it yet, the president made it clear what he means: “restaurant workers, hospitality workers, and anybody else who gets tips.”
The Left responded immediately with what they see as the downside: by reducing federal taxes on tips, federal revenues would drop by a huge amount of money, or at least, by an amount of money that sounds huge.

Joe Biden is currently tucked away in Delaware, preparing for the first debate of the 2024 presidential race. After heading there mid-week, he has canceled all public events as he tries to produce a turnaround moment for his pledging campaign. Why is that needed? Because the president currently enjoys the lowest approval rating of any president in the polling era. His policies have been disastrous, and Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with the direction of the country. There's another major issue, though: Joe Biden himself.

Gay Trump voters are shattering the Democratic Party’s "lie" that the LGBT community only votes blue, the president of the Log Cabin Republicans told Fox News Digital.
"Donald Trump is providing an opportunity for everybody to have an equal shot on a fair playing field. And that's what it comes down to at the end of the day. LGBT voters don't need to be pandered to. We don't need to be marginalized. We just need to be given the same opportunity for success, and for freedom, and for liberty as everybody else," Log Cabin Republicans President Charles Moran told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview earlier this week.
For as long as I can remember, the Left has been sneering at anyone who points out that the United States is a republic, not a democracy. They find the notion almost as unsophisticated and fascistic as flying a revolutionary-era flag. Others dismiss the democracy/republic debate as pedantic or a semantic distraction. They shouldn't.The other day, CNN's Donie O'Sullivan tried to make Trump fans who repeat this factual contention look like a bunch of dumb, lock stepping authoritarians. To explain the problem, CNN even recruited "democracy" expert Anne Applebaum, who noted that,
An appeals court in Washington, D.C., denied Steve Bannon’s attempt to avoid prison Thursday.
Bannon asked the federal appeals court earlier this month to delay his imminent prison sentence on contempt of Congress charges. The court denied his request, noting that his argument “does not a warrant a departure from the general rule.” In a 2-1 decision, the judges decided that a stay would not be warranted because Bannon’s argument does not bring up “a close question or one that very well could be decided the other way.”
Maher says so many annoying things in this clip, but his basic thesis is correct. After every war, millions of people end up moving because of the impact of the wars they are in. More than any other group, the Jewish people have been moved, ethnically cleansed, and killed over the centuries. But the only people in the world who never stop complaining and insist on kicking out all of the Jews “from the river to the sea” are the Arabs in the Land of Israel. His point on Mexico is classic. And yes, Maher is right – the Jewish people are here to stay.
Considering how much attention the American media get, it’s amazing that one piece of actual, unbelievable subversion keeps going on.
That is the Al Jazeera network — founded, funded and directed by the terrorist-supporting state of Qatar.
Last month, The Washington Post reported darkly that the Israeli government had shut down the Al Jazeera network’s operations in Israel because of its coverage from Gaza.
WaPo portrayed this as a “dark day” for press freedom.
In fact, there were a lot of good reasons for the Israelis to stop the network from operating inside Israel.
Recently, the entire media and public sphere exploded after some results surfaced regarding the ongoing EU Parliament elections, which saw the election of many nationalists and conservatives.
If we separate the wheat from the chaff, in the end the results are quite clear: there are much more seats taken by conservative or right-leaning groups and a lot of seats lost by left-leaning representatives. Let’s look just at the preliminary numbers in regards to the EU as a whole: as of the writing of this article, the Renew Europe political group, which aligns itself, according to their website, with liberal democratic values and against “autocrats,” has lost 22 seats in the Parliament.

It’s been a couple of weeks since Israeli forces launched a successful raid in Gaza that rescued four hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7 attacks last year. Normal people celebrated this operation, whereas the anti-Israel, antisemitic clowns were mourning the loss of the terrorists killed in the raid. That’s how you know the Left is messed up in the head on this matter: they were more upset over the dead captors and the rescue of those they held captive. The media coverage does play a part in that since newsrooms are staffed with woke left-wingers who hate Jewish people. That hateful pipeline can be traced back
Before we get into this abysmal segment, let’s not forget that this network is doing its job: keeping liberal blood pressures low by feeding the sheep grade-A liberal propaganda. It’s not a shock that MSNBC host Joy Reid and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) would label the rape of a minor by an illegal alien as “fearmongering.” I’m not sure it is, given that it’s true. An illegal alien was busted for raping a 13-year-old in Queens, New York, this week (via ABC 7 NY): "A 25-year-old Ecuadorian has been arrested in connection with the "horrific" rape of a 13-year-old girl after people in the Queens community recognized him from images
Nothing should shock us anymore, but the latest Congressional Budget Office report did. Released this week, the report shows that the nation is in vastly worse financial shape than anyone thought just a few months ago. And the report makes clear who is to blame.
The CBO’s latest “Budget and Economic Outlook” projects that the federal deficit this year will top $1.9 trillion. That’s $408 billion higher – a 27% increase – than what the CBO thought it would be just four months ago.
This will make the 2024 deficit the biggest ever recorded in American history – not counting the two years
The Montana Senate race between Trump-backed Republican Tim Sheehy and Sen. John Tester (D-MT) is a dead heat, according to what is reportedly a Republican internal poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies.

A Democrat political strategist is confirming what many believe is the biggest problem with Joe Biden's re-election campaign: Joe Biden.
The president - a week ahead of the surprise first debate against Donald Trump - continues to struggle in the polls, often trailing nationally and in key swing states.
What's worse for Biden is that the Democrat Senators defending their seats this November are running ahead of Biden and even handily leading their Republican opponent.However, in the same polls, the consistently gaffe-prone Biden is either barely leading or outright trailing his long-time rival.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has announced his intention to launch a legal battle against the State of New York, accusing it of an unconstitutional attack on the democratic process through its legal actions against President Donald Trump.
In a bold declaration on X, Bailey wrote, “I will be filing suit against the State of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump. It’s time to restore the rule of law.”
“We have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail. It sabotages Missourians’ right to a free and fair election,” he added.
Support for Biden among women is now starting to slip. He has the lowest support among women of any Democrat since 2004.
Women are one of the last reliable parts of the Democrat coalition that has stood by Biden despite his disastrous presidency. Black voters are abandoning him, as well as Latino voters and young voters. If he loses women, he is toast.
And even worse, this is coming from the liberal New York Times.

Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee raised $85 million toward the president’s 2024 re-election effort last month, according to a report — a figure well short of former President Donald Trump’s massive May fundraising haul.
The 81-year-old incumbent’s May totals mark the second-best month of fundraising for his campaign and allied groups, the Biden campaign told CNBC on Thursday, noting that the president didn’t hold any major fundraisers or events last month.
The Biden re-election effort now has $212 million in cash on hand, up from the $192 million it had at the end of April, according to the outlet, which received the campaign’s latest fundraising figures.

The grisly murder of Jocelyn Nungaray at the hands of two illegals from Venezuela should have garnered coverage on the main network newscasts. But neither ABC, CBS, nor NBC could be bothered to cover the story.
Only Telemundo did a full report on the grisly murder. Here’s how anchor Julio Vaqueiro introduced the item filed by weekend anchor Johanna Suárez:
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is on Twitter/X claiming that House Democrats are fighting to make life more affordable for Americans.
Does anyone believe this? When was the last time you heard Democrats in Congress talking about inflation, gas and food prices, or the cost of housing, unless they were defending Biden by lying about all of it?
They seem far more interested in promoting climate change and LGBT issues than anything having to do with making life more affordable.
Look at his tweet: (X) No one is buying it.
Senior judges in Florida approached Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon last year to ask her to step back from his Mar-a-Lago classified documents case – but she steadfastly refused, according to a shocking new report.
Cannon has been the source of fury and puzzlement among Trump critics after she issued rulings in the case that got overturned and failed to get it on track for trial before the November elections.
Trump was indicted in June 2023 and charged with illegally retaining national security documents at his Florida club.Not long after the fact, two senior federal judges asked Cannon, who had been assigned the case, to step back, the New York Times reported Thursday,
President Joe Biden’s parole pipeline has brought more than a million foreign nationals to the United States since its inception in January 2023. Through this pipeline, alone, the administration is importing about one migrant for every three American births.
On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released figures for May, showing Biden’s parole pipeline is continuing to release tens of thousands of foreign nationals into the U.S. interior via the southern border and commercial flights every month.
Latinos trust former President Donald Trump more than President Joe Biden on immigration, according to an Equis poll, released Thursday.
The poll showed that of 1,592 Latino registered voters in seven battleground states surveyed, 41 percent said they trust Trump on immigration, compared to only 38 percent who trust Biden.
The poll was conducted April 20-May 5, 2024, in English and Spanish, with a margin of error of ± 2.5 percentage points.
Carlos Odio, co-founder and senior vice president for research at Equis Labs, said Democrats no longer hold the advantage they once did with Latinos on immigration, according to Axios.
New York governor Kathy Hochul’s job-approval and favorability ratings dropped to a new low in a Thursday poll, as pluralities of voters say she either doesn’t care for their interests or fails to provide decisive leadership.
Hochul’s approval rating stands at a record low of 44 percent, according to a statewide Siena College poll conducted last week, with 50 percent disapproving of her job performance since she assumed office in 2021 following the resignation of then-governor Andrew Cuomo. She is also seen unfavorably by 49 percent of respondents, compared with 38 percent who view her in a positive light.
Despite Hochul’s poor polling numbers, New York voters support her

carbon footprint' that soldiers are furious about replies
Military personnel could find laboratory grown meat in their ration packs as Pentagon bosses scratch around for ways to reduce their impact on climate change.
Bioengineering company BioMADE came up with the idea after receiving $500 million in Defense department funding to reduce its carbon footprint.
But their plan to roll out 'cell based meat' has left a nasty taste in the mouth of veterans who have accused Pentagon bosses of treating front line soldiers like 'lab rats'.

It seems hard to believe, but we're just around the corner from the first presidential debate of the 2024 cycle, a week from today (June 27th). As my colleague Bob Hoge wrote earlier on Thursday, both the Biden and the Trump campaigns are preparing their candidates for showtime on the big stage in Atlanta. In recent days, CNN, which is hosting the debate, released the official rules both sides agreed to abide by. Whether President Joe Biden will manage to do that is still an open question, of course. In a new snapshot of the state of the race, polling from Emerson College and The Hill suggests
Well, it sure looks like California is beyond saving now.
In a stunning anti-democratic move, the California Supreme Court ruled on Thursday to block an anti-tax initiative from appearing on the ballot.
This initiative, known as the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act, was backed by the business community and sought to make it more difficult to increase taxes in California. Among other things, it would have required the legislature to obtain voter approval for any new or increased state taxes. There's nothing groundbreaking about it, as voters in other states have used the ballot box to approve or deny tax initiatives before. But Gavin Newsom
