The Manhattan District Attorney’s office agreed with attorneys for former President Donald Trump who said that his gag order should no longer prohibit him from speaking about trial witnesses, as the trial has concluded.
The gag order, issued by New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, had prohibited former President Trump from making statements, or directing others to make statements on his behalf, about trial witnesses, jurors, court staff, and counsel and their staff, if the statements were made to interfere with the case. This order did not cover Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg or Justice Merchan, but it did extend to their family members.

In a letter to Shalanda D. Young, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, takes aim at an Executive Office memo “strongly” encouraging federal agencies to erect signs declaring costly public infrastructure projects around the country have been funded by President Joe Biden. Forget the fact that American taxpayers will fork over trillions of dollars — in present and future treasure — to fund the ill-named Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (aka the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law), the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act, and

The Biden administration recently signed a 10-year bilateral security agreement with Ukraine, plunging the United States and the West deeper into a proxy war with Russia.
(snip)In fact, NATO’s expansion east, doubling from 16 to 32 member states after the dissolution of the Soviet Union — its purported primary reason for existence — makes clear that NATO now serves less as a collective defense alliance and more as a mechanism for maintaining American hegemony and extending its influence militarily, economically, and culturally over Europe and the world at large.

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.
“You have literally, in my opinion, a crime that has occurred in another jurisdiction,”

A Russian person could not visit New York, Chicago and Los Angeles and then say they visited The United States and have an understanding of Americans. (snip)Conversely, the same is true in Russia. (anip)Within Russia the social compact is organized around the premise (key word “premise“), that government is the father figure within a family – and all of the citizens are children. The government knows best. The state engages in all facets, systems and structures as if they are the omnipotent father who cares about the children.(snip)Oddly, this social compact is understood; but only understood insofar as the Russian people do not have

One of the reasons why YOU are part of The Last Refuge, is that together we accept things as they are – not as we would prefer them to be.
(snip)So, summarizing this story today from the video below. {Direct Rumble Link} House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has Biden documents…. 3+ million of them…. that were never on the laptop…. that originated within a 2016 FBI investigation of Burisma Holdings in a semi-related fraud case, that the House Oversight Committee is now is sharing with John Solomon… who is generating a brand-new Tick Tock “BOOM” clock, that can be promoted by Bannon.

Michael Cargill owns Central Texas Gun Works in Austin, a gun shop. After a mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017, the ATF banned bump stocks on rifles — with the blessing of President Trump and the National Rifle Association because jeepers no one wants to stand up for gun rights or any rights when there’s an emergency.
How did Rahm Emanuel put it? Oh yes, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
And if there isn’t a crisis, don’t worry. The government will create one.

This semi-regular feature is usually about some deceitful narrative the propaganda news media are pushing in recent days, but there’s a high-stakes presidential debate next week and it’s better that we use this installment to anticipate what will happen then.
CNN, the debate’s host network, said Saturday that both President Biden and former President Trump had agreed to the terms for participating, but the announcement included this alarming detail: “[A]s in the past, the moderators ‘will use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion …'”

A federal judge in Louisiana has blocked enforcement of a rule in two states that required employers to provide accommodations to employees who want to undergo elective abortions, with the judge siding with plaintiffs who argued that abortions aren’t “medical conditions” that employers must facilitate.
U.S. District Judge David Joseph announced the ruling in an order filed on June 17 at the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, granting a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit against the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which he found exceeded its authority in implementing the rule.
The EEOC “exceeded its statutory authority” in issuing the rule and “unlawfully expropriated

This is a remarkable statistic on illegal immigration that Bill Melugin is drawing attention to.
“NEW: Per multiple federal sources, ICE’s non-detained docket has exploded to 7.4 million cases, more than doubling the Trump years, and it’s on pace to hit 8 million by end of year. Each ICE officer now has to manage an average of 7,000 cases each, an impossible task given the agency’s current staffing levels. ICE currently only has roughly 6,000 deportation officers nationwide, and not all of them work on the non-detained docket.” (Image)“The non-detained docket means not in ICE detention.

A federal judge on Monday issued an order temporarily blocking the Biden administration’s new Title IX transgender rule in an additional six states, a rule that sparked controversy for changing the definition of “sex” to include “gender identity” and giving female-identifying male students access to girls’ lockers and bathrooms.
“There are two sexes: male and female,” begins the memorandum and opinion written by U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves,(snip)
The judge’s order grants a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the new rule in six states: Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The rule has also been blocked in at least five other states.
