The Supreme Court has ruled that the Justice Department went too far in its prosecution of hundreds of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — and Donald Trump.

In a 6-3 decision on Friday, June 28, the court said that a federal obstruction statute cited in cases against more than 350 Capitol rioters was not applied properly, which could complicate their sentences.

You can watch the left wing news channel in NYC trying to hide and cover up the massive gang activity in the illegal alien shelters.

The Supreme Court ruled that any president has immunity for official acts but not unofficial ones. This means the issue will now go back to the district court to determine which of Trump's acts in special counsel Jack Smith's case was an official act, likely meaning it will not go to trial before the November election.

The National Rally is poised to secure the most seats in the French National Assembly but may prove unable to net the 289 seats necessary for an absolute majority, meaning the country may end up with a hung parliament. Le Pen's party and its allies are currently expected to pick between 230 and 280 seats.

However, should the right-leaning party prevail in the second round of voting on Sunday, National Rally President Jordan Bardella, Le Pen's protégé, will likely become the next prime minister. With Bardella running parliament, Macron would effectively be a lame duck until the end of his term, which runs out in 2027.

Marine Le Pen is not a fascist. The National Rally is not an extremist party. They address issues the mainstream parties will not.

The Democrat spinning of Jim Crow Joe's debate performance is all very reminiscent of the George Orwell quote from the book Nineteen Eighty-Four--"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan on July 2 delayed the sentencing of former President Donald Trump "to September 18, 2024, at 10:00 AM for the imposition of sentence, if such is still necessary, or other proceedings."

The parties had requested permission to argue over the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's July 1 ruling on presidential immunity, and the judge granted the requests. The defense has a July 10 deadline to file a motion and prosecutors have a July 24 deadline to file a response. The judge also granted a separate request by prosecutors to submit a recommendation for sentencing.

Attorneys for former President Trump are moving to throw out the New York criminal trial, while prosecutors say they believe that the argument has no merit.

For the first time since 1980, conservative activists have been shut out of the platform-writing process.

Christian and pro-life Republicans are bracing for a betrayal in Milwaukee when Republican National Committee members gather the week ahead of the convention to hammer out and vote on a party platform. Word is spreading around town that the Trump campaign wants a smaller, simplified party platform — one that excludes (or at least waters down) the pro-life plank.

ay for donors or a betrayal of America First?
"You graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically as part of your diploma, a green card, to be able to stay in this country."

That's a quote from a globalist neoliberal, right?

Wrong. It's one of former President Donald Trump's recent comments on immigration. A far cry from conservatives' desire for a merit-based immigration system focused on high-skilled workers, Trump's proposal has stirred much controversy, particularly on the right. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) tweeted "No" before deleting the post. And even Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a libertarian, rebuked the idea, saying, "This ain't it!"

For context, green cards grant immigrants permanent residence in the country, unlike the temporary H work visas and F student visas. Noncitizens often use these temporary visas as stepping stones toward green cards and permanent residence in the United States. Many H-1B visa holders attempt to move onto the green card, which requires employer sponsorship.

Appearing on "All-In," a business and tech podcast hosted by four Silicon Valley venture capitalists, Trump vowed to hand out green cards to foreign nationals in his second term when urged by one of the hosts to allow tech-industry leaders to have "more ability to import the best and brightest around the world to America."

Not only would such a policy incentivize universities to charge exorbitant tuition fees for international students, but it would also fulfill Big Tech's dream of cheap labor.

"The stapling a green card to a diploma narrative is flawed because it's attempting to solve a problem that doesn't exist as there is no shortage of native born STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) workers," said Kevin Lynn, executive director at the Institute for Sound Public Policy. "Almost three quarters of American STEM graduates do not work in STEM largely because wages have been eroded over the past two decades due to employers tampering with the labor markets by bringing in large numbers of immigrants."

More labor = lower wages; it's not rocket science
Every intro to econ textbook teaches that prices increase when supply increases, all other things being equal. So, increasing the supply of tech workers drives the prices of workers (wages) down, lowering input prices for corporations. And even though immigrants eventually increase the demand for tech labor by starting businesses, for example, businesses take time to build. Also, there's no saying demand outpaces supply if many cheap workers are permanently injected into the economy.

The British traded the awful prog Conservative party for the awful progressive Labour Party.

That would be a grave mistake. I'm pro life and I support Trump. Hopefully, this doesnt hurt Trump much.
