The Supreme Court on Thursday heard oral arguments on Trump’s presidential immunity claim in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC.
The case made its way to the Supreme Court after the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Trump was not immune from prosecution.
Trump’s lawyers previously argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.
John Sauer, a Missouri-based attorney for Trump, gave an opening statement on Thursday and argued that Jack Smith’s indictment uses vague statutes to criminalize “core authority” of the presidency.
Sauer argued that immunity protects past presidents such as George W. Bush and Barack Obama from being prosecuted for crimes they committed while in federal office.
AUDIO:
As expected, the liberal justices, similar to the appellate court judges, floated absurd hypotheticals.
The justices then had the opportunity to grill Jack Smith’s prosecutor Michael Dreeben. Recall that Dreeben was one of Mueller’s goons in the special counsel’s ‘Trump-Russia’ inquisition.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito destroyed DOJ prosecutor Michael Dreeben with one question.
“If the president gets advice from the attorney general, that something is lawful, is that an absolute defense?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“Yes, I think that it is,” Dreeben said.
“But won’t that give presidents incentive to be sure to pick an Attorney General who will reliably tell the president that it is lawful to do whatever the president wants to do if there’s any possible argument in favor of it?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“I think the Constitutional structure protects against that risk. The president nominates the attorney general and the Senate provides advice and consent,” Dreeben said.
This line of questioning also dovetails other questions asked by Gorsuch related to subordinate liability.
AUDIO:
Justice Alito also asked about FDR’s decision to put Japanese-Americans in camps during WWII.
“What about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s decision to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II, couldn’t that have been charged?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“Today, yes,” Michael Dreeben said.

Atlanta police officers showed no mercy Thursday as they laid down the law against unruly anti-Israel and anti-cop protesters at Emory University.
As Fox 5 Atlanta reported, several dozen agitators illegally set up a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawn of the school and held signs.
FOX 5 Atlanta’s Billy Heath III noted that the protesters were approached by police, who gave them a minute to disperse, or they would be arrested for trespassing.

The students refused to comply with the cops’ demands and ended up paying a heavy price as a result.
Video footage from the protest shows police officers getting physical with the spoiled brats after allegedly being attacked. the police reportedly had to resort to firing rubber bullets and spraying tear gas to restore order.
You can hear what sounds like rubber bullets in the clip below while some protesters scream, “Let them go!” Many protesters are also seen being zip-tied and marched away.

According to Mondowweiss.net, The protesters were demanding Emory school officials immediately divest from Israel and Cop City, a police and fire department training campus under construction near Atlanta. The latter has been a prime target for Antifa militants for months.
The article claims without evidence the protesters are students from “multiple Atlanta universities” and community members. Emory University was chosen because the Marxists protesting view it as “complicit in genocide and police militarization.”
Laura Diamond, assistant vice president of University Communications at Emory University, released a statement saying the agitators were “not members of our community” and had no right to disrupt school functions:
Several dozen protesters trespassed into Emory University’s campus early Thursday morning and set up tents on the Quad. These individuals are not members of our community.
They are activists attempting to disrupt our university as our students finish classes and prepare for finals. Emory does not tolerate vandalism or other criminal activity on campus. The Emory Police Department ordered the group to leave and contacted Atlanta Police for assistance.
But CNN reports at least two professors were among those arrested. One of these “educators” was Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.

Students spend another night maintaining a protest encampment in support of Palestinians on the Columbia University campus in New York City, April 24, 2024.
Dazhon Darien, 31, was charged with disrupting school activities in January by impersonating Principal Eric Eiswert’s voice and spreading the audio on social media.
“The audio clip … had profound repercussions,” police wrote in charging documents obtained by the Baltimore Banner. “It not only led to Eiswert’s temporary removal from the school but also triggered a wave of hate-filled messages on social media and numerous calls to the school. The recording also caused significant disruptions for the PHS staff and students.”
Darien has also been charged with “theft and retaliating against a witness, related to alleged illicit payments he made to a school athletics coach, as well as stalking,” according to the report.
In the ai generated recording, a voice that sounds like Eiswert can be heard making disparaging comments about black and Jewish people. For example, the recording blasts “ungrateful Black kids who can’t test their way out of a paper bag” and says, “if I have to get one more complaint from one more Jew in this community, I’m going to join the other side.”
The Banner reports:
Questions about the audio’s authenticity quickly followed. Police wrote in charging documents that Darien had accessed the school’s network on multiple occasions in December and January searching for OpenAI tools, and used “Large Language Models” that practice “deep learning, which involves pulling in vast amounts of data from various sources on the internet, can recognize text inputted by the user, and produce conversational results.” They also connected Darien to an email account that had distributed the recording.
Many current and former students believed Eiswert was responsible for the offensive remarks, while former colleagues denounced the audio and defended Eiswert’s character. Eiswert himself has denied making those comments and said the comments do not align with his views.
The audio, posted to the popular Instagram account murder_ink_bmore, prompted a Baltimore County Public Schools and Baltimore County Police investigation. Eiswert has not been working in the school since the investigation began.
The night before the audio went viral, it was sent to three teachers at the school, including Shaena Ravenell who sent it to a student she knew would spread it far and wide.
Ravenell also contacted the media and NAACP. She has since resigned.

WHAT IF 'KING' ORDERS COUP?
By Wayne Allyn Root
Trump was right- again. Only 3 years ago our country was MAGA. America was great again. The economy, prosperity, inflation, interest rates, jobs, incomes, the border, crime, peace around the world.
Three short years later we’ve gone from MAGA to Gaza.
Trump was right about a lot of things. Here are just a few.
Trump predicted if the border was open and millions came into our country illegally, we’d be turned into a third world craphole. It happened exactly as he predicted. Look around.
Illegal aliens are murdering Americans from coast to coast. Illegals are fighting with pipes and belts in the middle of a major street in Midtown Manhattan. Cops are being beaten by illegal aliens in broad daylight in the middle of Times Square. Illegal alien squatters are stealing homes. Fentanyl is killing hundreds of thousands of our children.
One of my best friend’s children just died of a fentanyl overdose only days ago. Where do you think fentanyl comes from? The open border.
And then there’s the protests at Columbia University with angry mobs chanting “Death to Jews” “Death to America” and “We are Hamas.” Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of America.
U.S. Senators are now demanding President Biden send National Guard to protect Jewish students at Columbia U. This is happening in America?
Don’t look now but my alma mater Columbia U. has become “Hamas with a really bad football team.”
Now these Jew-hating protests are spreading to elite colleges across the country. And to the home of Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer who just happens to be Jewish. Who saw this coming?
President Trump saw it coming.
Remember President Trump’s so-called “Muslim Travel Ban.” He told us: Don’t let bad people, with evil intent, from terrorist nations, into America.
Trump’s point was, they will bring their hate with them. They will not blend in, as prior immigrants did. They will destroy our cities- which will be turned into dangerous “no go” zones. They will stir hate and division. Crime will explode. They will kill Americans- specifically Jews.
Don’t look now, but this is exactly what is happening.
The real name of Trump’s Executive Action was “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States.” It was simply an Executive Action aimed at keeping bad people with evil intent (and hatred for Jews, Christians, America and Western Civilization) out of the USA.
It wasn’t “racist.” It wasn’t aimed at Muslims. It was aimed at terrorists, criminals and people with hate in their hearts, coming from the worst terrorist nations in the world. It was aimed at keeping our citizens safe and keeping us from becoming a third world craphole. Like Gaza.
Trump was right.
Why do you think all of this hate and anarchy is happening right now? Because we opened the borders and welcomed everyone in. No one was vetted. We have no idea who is a criminal…who is a murderer…who is a terrorist…who hates Jews….and who wants “Death to America.”
Biden (and his boss Obama) opened the borders and let the whole Middle East in- with no questions asked. How many are Hamas? Hezbollah? ISIS? How many have criminal records? How many have an unnatural hatred for Jews, Christians and America?
Did anyone think to ask, before we let them into our country?
And let’s not single out radical Islam. Letting in MS-13, gangbangers from prisons around the world, and Chinese military-age males is just as stupid, reckless and dangerous.
Trump understood. Not everyone is alike. Not everyone should be allowed into our country. It’s a privilege to become an American. We have to investigate people who want to come in- to make sure their values are compatible with America, American exceptionalism, freedom, and democracy.
Now you’re seeing the results of unvetted open borders on the streets and college campuses of America. It didn’t start with Biden. It started with Obama. Obama opened the floodgates for eight long years. He let millions of illegals in.
Now Biden (and his boss Obama) have excellerated the foreign invasion on STEROIDS.
Now for the first time in the history of America, there are protestors openly screaming about murdering Jews. Coincidence?
Now for the first time in the history of America, we need National Guard troops to protect Jewish students. Coincidence?
Now for the first time in the history of America, there are Jewish professors demanding police escorts to walk onto their own campus. Coincidence?
Now for the first time in the history of America, mobs of thugs are attacking the homes of Jewish US Senators. Coincidence?
Biden (and his boss Obama), Kamala (the border czar who has never been to the border), DHS chief Mayorkas, and the entire Democrat Party have sold out to China and the Mexican Drug Cartels. They’ve taken billions in bribes.
And as a bonus, Democrats are betting millions of foreign voters means there will never be another Republican president.
They’ve turned us into a third world craphole. They’ve invited and welcomed in people who want to murder us. All of us. Not just Jews. Jews are just first on their list. They don’t just hate Jews. They hate Christians. They hate Americans. They hate freedom.
Open borders are why things have suddenly changed so dramatically.
That’s why a country that has always treated the Jewish people the best of any country in the world…a country that has never shown hatred for Jews…never seen protests against Jews…a country that has shown overwhelming support for Israel from the first day…
Is suddenly seeing anarchy and revolution in the streets…hatred for Jews…chants of “Death to America”…and crime exploding in big cities, run by Democrats, and filled with newly arrived illegal aliens.
Biden (and his boss Obama), and the entire Democrat Party have imported Gaza into America. And now the chickens have come home to roost.
Trump was right. America may never be the same.
We’re all Gaza now.

Yesterday, the news of the Gateway Pundit’s bankruptcy filing was released to the public.
As outlined in yesterday’s statement, this decision was made for business reasons. However, for our dedicated readers and trusted staff, there are no planned changes. We remain committed to delivering the same high-quality daily news and journalism to America today.
The mainstream media began reporting this news in a feverish way with glee and half-truths. They all had their erroneous spin on the filing. They were misunderstanding what was going on, and simply speculating as to what our motives were, what the facts were, and why it was happening.
One of the lies they started repeating in their coverage was that the traffic for the Gateway Pundit has gone down or plummeted.
In many reports they tried to claim that our traffic has gone down 62% since 2020, an outright lie. The Gateway Pundit is completely transparent about our site traffic. We link to it on every page, it’s a blue button at the bottom right of every page labelled “TGP Stats”, and it’s through a service called StatCounter.com.
The art and science of measuring website traffic is not precise, but across every reliable system it shows the same thing: our Gateway Pundit traffic is substantially higher than in 2020.
Here’s what the year-to-year 2020-2024 data shows, and as you can see it does NOT show a decline in either site traffic or in unique visits to the site:
The mainstream media has based this lie on the way that online websites’ traffic is measured. One such service is called Comscore. Comscore is similar to StatCounter, and it requires website administrators to place a code or script on each page so that traffic can be counted. In early 2023, TGP removed that code because we no longer needed their reports. So today Comscore shows that our traffic is substantially down, even though that is not true – we had simply removed their tracking code.
Comscore’s statistics are then used by a hard-left blog to track and harass right-wing publications and journalists; one is known as “The Righting.” They published a story that was based entirely off of the Comscore data, showing the wrong statistics and facts. This source was then used by left-leaning media outlets to report these things as verified third-party facts.
All they did was copy and paste the wrong data, from the wrong service, to support a wrong conclusion: that TGP’s traffic was down when, in fact, it is actually substantially up.
TGP also uses Google Analytics to track our site traffic, and Google reports the same trends as StatCounter, even though they don’t provide a public link to the data: TGP traffic is nearly double that of 2020. Google Analytics proves that page-views to the GP site have gone from between 24-32 million views to between 55-87 million page-views.
Here’s our January 2020 Google Analytics report:
And here’s our January 2024 Google Analytics report. Google changed the way they display their reports, so it’s a little harder to compare the two, but if you look at the total pageviews, and the total unique users, you can find the key data.
Can you guess whether the left-wing mainstream media is reporting the truth that traffic is substantially up, or whether they spread the disinformation that it is substantially down? I’m sure you know that they chose the lie, instead of the truth, because in their minds the emotional agenda is more important than the facts.
We reached out to several reporters involved in promoting this disinformation and asked them to correct their data and amend their stories.
To their credit, Mediaite’s Alexander Griffing fixed his story to at least show that the traffic numbers were in dispute. He did this quickly and was a complete professional about the matter.
And then there was the Atlantic’s Paul Fahri. He wrote in the “Atlantic” that the Gateway Pundit traffic was down by over half. This, as I’ve explained, is simply not true.
We reached out to Paul and asked him to correct his story. We showed him the evidence, we explained the situation, we said surely at least he would want to explain that the numbers were reasonably in dispute.
Surely a journalist with years working at the Washington Post would want his readers to have the right information, have the right facts, and draw the right conclusions from those facts.
Fahri told us he didn’t care if it was true or not, he wasn’t going to update the article. He told us to go take it up with the source he received the information from, and maybe just take it up with ComScore themselves.
Here’s Paul’s response, you can see how readers get left with disinformation and outright lies in mainstream reporting when you have reporters as clearly arrogant as Paul:
NPR of course repeated the same lying line about our traffic being down. It’s not even worth trying to engage with those hard-left zealots committed to disinformation.
Instead of correcting their errors, mainstream journalists revel in their errors. Instead of doing their jobs to get the story right all the time, they simply push the agenda and ignore the facts. This is why America no longer reads these partisan disinformation outlets. This is why America fell out of love with mainstream journalism.
This is the truth why the Gateway Pundit is getting more site traffic than ever before. Even though we are constantly harassed with lawfare, even though the government is trying to push us off all social media platforms in a case now being decided before the Supreme Court, even though our ad platforms are attacked and even our advertisers are harassed by insane left-wing anti-free-speech zealots, despite everything they throw at the Gateway Pundit, we’re doing better than ever.
When I founded the Gateway Pundit, I had no idea we would get to this point. I had no idea our growth would be this phenomenal. But I had one overriding belief: that if we told the truth, and reported what other people were afraid to report… that it would all work out and that people would read us and support us.
I am enormously proud that the Gateway Pundit and our amazing team of journalists have taken the national lead on reporting about the unconstitutional COVID lockdowns and massive state misinformation about the virus, the 2020 election fraud and cover-up, the January 6th show trials and political prisoners, endless Biden scandals, and so much more.
Thank you for making the Gateway Pundit the number one source of news and opinion journalism in America.

Cacao trees in West Africa, where 50% of the world’s chocolate originates, are currently under threat by a virus that may jeopardize the global supply of chocolate.
In a new scientific study, researchers from the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana and the University of Kansas, Prairie View A&M, reported that the cacao swollen shoot virus disease (CSSVD), caused by tiny insects called mealybugs, has endangered cacao trees in the Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Harvests in the Ivory Coast and Ghana have been cut by 15% to 50% since the virus has wreaked havoc on cocoa trees.
To combat the pesky virus, researcher Chen-Charpentier from the University of Kansas, Prairie View A&M, has advocated for vaccinating cocoa trees and spreading them out from one another.
Chen-Carpentier stated, “What we needed to do was create a model for cacao growers so they could know how far away they could safely plant vaccinated trees from unvaccinated trees in order to prevent the spread of the virus while keeping costs manageable for these small farmers.”
Vaccinated the cocoa from mealy bugs?
“Farmers can combat the mealybugs by giving vaccines to the trees to inoculate them from the virus. But the vaccines are expensive….. and vaccinated trees produce a smaller harvest of cacao…devastation of the virus”https://t.co/JMd6Wwcmcf— Alita Gail (@RealAlitaGail) April 23, 2024
Per Science Daily:
A rapidly spreading virus threatens the health of the cacao tree and the dried seeds from which chocolate is made, jeopardizing the global supply of the world’s most popular treat.
About 50% of the world’s chocolate originates from cacao trees in the West Africa countries of Ivory Coast and Ghana. The damaging virus is attacking cacao trees in Ghana, resulting in harvest losses of between 15 and 50%. Spread by small insects called mealybugs that eat the leaves, buds and flowers of trees, the cacao swollen shoot virus disease (CSSVD) is among the most damaging threats to the root ingredient of chocolate.
Chen-Charpentier and colleagues from the University of Kansas, Prairie View A&M, the University of South Florida and the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana have developed a new strategy: using mathematical data to determine how far apart farmers can plant vaccinated trees to prevent mealybugs from jumping from one tree to another and spreading the virus.
“Mealybugs have several ways of movement, including moving from canopy to canopy, being carried by ants or blown by the wind,” Chen-Charpentier said. “What we needed to do was create a model for cacao growers so they could know how far away they could safely plant vaccinated trees from unvaccinated trees in order to prevent the spread of the virus while keeping costs manageable for these small farmers.”

President Trump visited construction workers at the site of the 1,388 foot tall JP Morgan office building going up at 270 Park Avenue in New York City Thursday morning before heading to court. Trump was well received by a large crowd of workers and others who heard about the early morning (6:30 a.m.) campaign stop.
Among those was a construction worker who had a blunt two-word message for Joe Biden.
Newsmax reporter Addison Smith posted video clips (now deleted) of his interviews with workers, asking about seeing so many Trump supporters in Manhattan and what their message is to Biden. One worker said, “Give it up,” while another worker was more explicit.

The Supreme Court on Thursday heard oral arguments on Trump’s presidential immunity claim in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC.
The case made its way to the Supreme Court after the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Trump was not immune from prosecution.
Trump’s lawyers previously argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.
“In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in last month’s filing, according to CBS News. “To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”
John Sauer, a Missouri-based attorney for Trump, gave an opening statement on Thursday and argued that Jack Smith’s indictment uses vague statutes to criminalize “core authority” of the presidency.
AUDIO:
As expected, the liberal justices, similar to the appellate court judges, floated absurd hypotheticals.
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan asked John Sauer, “How about if a president orders the military to stage a coup? Is that immune? Is it an official act?”
AUDIO:
Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked John Sauer if Trump would be immune from prosecution if he ordered the military to assassinate his political rival.
“…If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts that for which he can get immunity?” Sotomayor asked John Sauer.
Sauer replied, “It would depend on the hypothetical. What we can see that could well be an official act.”
Sotomayor defended Obama’s drone strikes on civilians while attacking Trump.
“He could. And why? Because he’s doing it for personal reasons. He’s not doing it like President Obama is alleged to have done it to protect the country from a terrorist. He’s doing it for personal gain. And isn’t that the nature of the allegations here, that he’s not doing them, doing these acts in furtherance of an official responsibility? He’s doing it for personal gain,” Sotomayor said.
“I agree with that characterization of the indictment. And that confirms immunity, because the characterization is that there’s a series of official acts that were done for an honorable,” Sauer said.
Sotomayor continue to argue with and interrupt John Sauer.
AUDIO:
A three-judge panel for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals previously asked John Sauer if Trump would be immune if he ordered assassinations.
On January 9 a three-judge panel heard oral arguments and appeared skeptical of Trump’s immunity claims – one judge, a Biden appointee, asked attorney John Sauer if Trump would be subject to criminal prosecution if he ordered SEAL Team 6 to assassinate his political rivals.

The longer the university allows it to stand, the more difficult it will be to dismantle — and the more hate it will foment.” Jason has experienced first-hand the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone that has contributed to a Seattle now in decline.
“Palestinian Protestors” are the latest fad of the angry outrage movement. The tone and tenor is ugly and hostile to Jewish students and faculty. Any attempt to counter-protest is met with violence or ejection from Campus. Professor Shai Davidai has been barred from campus by officials since they cannot assure his safety. Prohibiting Jewish faculty, staff, and students for their own safety is twisted and perverted logic. The violence at Columbia is rapidly spreading to other campuses. Texas Governor Greg Abbot oversaw a firm response at University of Texas Austin when radicals tried to shut the campus down. Arrests were actually made at UT Austin, a departure from years of officials in many cities failing to provide civil order.
The sudden rise in violence on college campuses is occurring while key national security officials have been giving stark warnings to the American public. FBI Director Wray has been quite histrionic about an impending ‘coordinated terror attack’ with the threat at a ‘whole other level’. Wray’s warnings seem dire and he has been disingenuous on several topics, but this call to red alert seems authentic. It is not well known, there is Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 191, Duty to Warn. Under ICD 191 there is a legal obligation of officials (i.e. Wray) to provide a warning regarding threats to specific individuals or groups of intentional killing, serious bodily injury, and kidnapping. Wray and other senior officials are likely triggered by their legal obligations under ICD 191.
Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS CISA) Director Jennifer Easterly has been equally dramatic with her comments of “aggressive cyber operations” by China that can not only take down infrastructure but also “induce societal panic,” which seems to acknowledge what Dr. Malone and others were correct about the mass psychosis of the Wuhan bio-lab, COVID, and the vaccine scam. General Haugh, Director of National Security Agency and Cyber Command has pointed out that China was securing access to the United States’ critical networks before a direct confrontation between the two countries would occur. Translated, China is preparing for war. Is the sudden initiation of the Summer of Love 2024 related to Chinese Communist malign activities or the warnings from U.S. Government officials? If nothing else it provides additional chaos and distraction which provides a smokescreen.
The violent “Pro-Palestinian” outrage mobs have a lineage to the Summer of 2020. Black Lives Matter and Antifa were replete with those who were easily triggered by social justice messaging. There was also a disturbing intersection between these groups and public-school faculty and staff. Since 2020 these same personalities have shape shifted into drag show activists, violent transgender militants, the squatter movement, and now “Palestinian” activists. Getting paid to protest, why not become part of the Social Justice rent a mob? It’s a great gig if you can get it, and it’s quite easy to get.
China has the Digital Twin Strategy that helps TikTok fine tune their feed to address the positive and negative affirmation of the individual easily influenced by outrage postings. Using Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Big Data analytics, TikTok can deliver tailored messages to their 1 billion plus users. For Taiwan Election Interference, it was estimated that 10% of the TikTok messages were tailored to the individual. At 1 billion users, TikTok can deliver 100 million tailored message streams and weight them toward the American audience – that is a lot of influence. Who is paying the money to this street violence cadre in America for their violence? Chinese Communist Groups, Hamas (which is Iran, which is China), American non-profits receiving U.S. Government grants, and Soros/Arabella dark money. Big Media has surged their army of Soros Funded Fact Checkers to help hide the evidence trail on this connection.
The seminal difference between 2020 and 2024 is the flood of Chinese military age males coming across the unsecure southern border. Chinese operators were out on the street in 2020 enabling societal panic over the COVID narrative, but stayed discrete. Another lesson learned by Taiwan was that advanced social media use by China still heavily utilizes on the ground collaborators to fine tune, correct, and spread the social messaging. After 2020, Chinese nationals became bolder and started to create the secret Chinese Police Station Infrastructure in America which has been somewhat degraded, but not totally shut down by the FBI. Chinese illegals also set up the bio-lab discovered in California and are routinely challenging the security at sensitive U.S. Government facilities.
Chinese illegals have been pivoting toward “legal cannabis”, drawn by the high cash nature of the un-bankable cannabis proceeds and are killing each other. This situation is becoming pervasive across America. With the surging rise of malign activities performed by Chinese operatives inside of America and the clarion call of multiple national security leaders on imminent, coordinated mass casualty events, not drawing a line, at least in pencil, between the sudden rash of “Palestinian” protestors and the flood of Chinese military age males across the southern border is foolish.

Nearly half of Democrats would support Donald Trump’s plan for mass deportations during his second presidential term, according to new polling data.
The poll, conducted by Axios in partnership with Harris Poll, found that 51 per cent of the American public would support the plan, including 42 per cent of Democrats, 68 per cent of Republicans and 46 per cent of independents.
Axios explains:
Half of Americans — including 42% of Democrats — say they’d support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a new Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll. And 30% of Democrats — as well as 46% of Republicans — now say they’d end birthright citizenship, something guaranteed under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
Americans are open to former President Trump’s harshest immigration plans, spurred on by a record surge of illegal border crossings and a relentless messaging war waged by Republicans. President Biden is keenly aware the crisis threatens his re-election. He’s sought to flip the script by accusing Trump of sabotaging Congress’ most conservative bipartisan immigration bill in decades.
But when it comes to blame, Biden so far has failed to shift the narrative: 32% of respondents say his administration is “most responsible” for the crisis, outranking any other political or structural factor.
Mark Penn, chairman of The Harris Poll and a former Clinton pollster, said the findings were a warning to Joe Biden that “efforts to shift responsibility for the issue to Trump are not going to work.”
“I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations,” he remarked. “I think they’re just sending a message to politicians: ‘Get this under control.”
In January, Trump pledged to implement the “largest deportation effort” in American history as the Biden regime continues to allow millions of illegal aliens to enter the country every year.
“Many of those people come from jails and prisons, many of those people come from mental institutions and insane asylums, and many of those people are terrorists,” he said at the time.
“We are going to have the largest deportation effort in the history of our country, bringing everybody back where they came from. We have no choice.”

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on Tuesday vetoed legislation that would define residency in Arizona and require proof of residency, such as a home rental agreement or ownership, to vote in the state’s elections.
Hobbs stole the 2022 election for Governor from Kari Lake, and she is getting ready to rig the 2024 election for Joe Biden.
SB 2581 stipulates that “a resident is an individual who has actual physical presence in the state for at least one hundred eighty-one days with the intent to remain” but provides exceptions for individuals to vote if they provide evidence of employment, residential property, child school enrollment, and active duty military service.
Hobbs’ veto comes as flyers instructing illegal immigrants to vote for Joe Biden in the forthcoming U.S. election have been reportedly distributed at a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Mexico, according to an investigation by The Oversight Project, a watchdog initiative linked to the Heritage Foundation.
Additionally, voters are not required to show proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections on a “federal only” ballot.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hobbs also vetoed a bill Tuesday that would have allowed Arizona homeowners to remove an unlawful occupant or a “squatter” from their property.
Hobbs has vetoed over 185 bills since taking office last January. This shatters Democrat Janet Napolitano’s record of 181 vetoes during an entire four-year term.
Hobbs vetoed SB 2581, claiming that it "creates additional, unnecessary barriers for individuals registering to vote."
Critics of the bill claim that it would bar out-of-state college students from voting in Arizona's elections as the bill defines "resident" as an individual physical presence in the state for 181 days with the intent to remain.
However, the bill outlines six exceptions, which would allow students and temporary residents to vote.
From the bill text:
THE COUNTY ASSESSOR, THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE COUNTY RECORDER MAY ESTABLISH A PHYSICAL PRESENCE REQUIREMENT OF LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-ONE DAYS IF THE INDIVIDUAL DEMONSTRATES AN INTENT TO REMAIN BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. EMPLOYMENT.
2. PURCHASE OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
3. RENTAL OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
4. PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.
5. THE ENROLLMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR THE INDIVIDUAL'S CHILDREN IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT OR CHARTER SCHOOL.
6. ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SERVICE MEMBER IDENTIFICATION FOR SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR DEPENDENTS.

“Dr. Eric Topol, founder of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, said the finding of viral particles in milk on grocery store shelves means the outbreak is probably more widespread than we’ve known.
“The dissemination to cows is far greater than we have been led to believe,” Topol said in an email Tuesday.”
“The FDA assurance that the dairy supply is safe is nice, but it’s not based on extensive assessment yet, which they acknowledge, and won’t engender trust and confidence because it comes in the wake of USDA mishandling,” he added.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we are adding Tamiflu to the Contagion Kit. Tamiflu is a safe medication approved treat Influenza type A, viruses like avian flu. We will continue to closely monitor this situation and make further recommendations as warranted.”
This is the perfect emergency kit at the perfect price. Every home should have this for peace of mind. – Rebecca B.
This is absolutely great! I encourage everyone to buy one of these for emergencies!! – Melody H.
Peace of mind. It is an amazing peace of mind to have this kit in case of emergencies and shortages. The Wellness Company did an excellent job of getting this to me in a timely manner and I and thankful to have it. – Phyllis T.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Woke ‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson coming under fire after an interview with The Hollywood Reporter (THR) slamming President Trump, MAGA voters, and police officers.
He told THR, “I’m a Christian quite simply because of what Jesus calls us to do. Love other people until death. It doesn’t mean we’re all to be hung on a cross, but how can I suffer for you? That is a beautiful thing.”
He added, “Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe. It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do,” before then attacking President Trump.
Ritchson continues, without merit, “Trump is a rapist and a con man, and yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child and it’s unreal,” Ritchson adding, “I don’t understand it.”
Ritchson also addressed the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old who was shot and killed during a drug warrant search in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2020.
Addressing the image the actor shared in August of 2020, the actor told THR, “That was a tragic case,” adding, “Cops get away with murder all the time, and the fact that we can’t really hold them accountable for their improprieties is disturbing to me.”
“We should completely reform the way that we do it. I mean, you shouldn’t have to spend more time getting an education as a hairstylist than as a cop who’s armed with a deadly weapon,” he went on to propose. “We should make it very hard for people to make mistakes or abuse power in our institutions.”
Now, The Fraternal Order of Police has responded to Ritchson’s comments on X.
“While Mr. Ritchson gets his face and forehead powdered on set, our officers are out doing a job he doesn’t have the courage to do.”
“While he gets to hear loud pops and have blanks fired at him, our officers feel the heat of the bullets as they pierce their skin. There are no take two’s or take three’s in real life Mr. Ritchson.”
“We have people who want to kill us and we play for keeps. Just another useless Hollywood actor, virtue signaling for attention at the expense of brave police officers around this country.”
“Go back to your pampered life and let the heroes handle this.”
