BREAKING NEWS: Trump Wins Again
The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to begin firing thousands of federal employees.
In May, a Clinton-appointed federal district court judge in California issued an injunction preventing the administration from implementing “reductions in force” across 21 federal agencies.
Today’s apparent 8 to 1 ruling makes it clear that a federal judge in California or anywhere else cannot tell the president which federal employees in Washington, D.C., he can and cannot fire.
Crazy Leftist Killers
In recent days, violent left-wing extremists have attempted to murder federal immigration police officers. These are not peaceful protests that got out of hand. These are deliberate, coordinated assassination attempts against federal law enforcement officers of the United States.
Running battles have been fought at an immigration detention facility in Portland, Oregon, for weeks. Late last month, a Transtifa radical attempted to stab immigration police officers. Christopher Hudson, aka Julie Winters, was tased by officers and arrested. He is now facing 20 years in jail.
On the evening of July 4th, a radical “squad” of at least 11 leftists attacked an immigration facility near Fort Worth, Texas, as part of a plot to kill immigration police.
Heavily armed and wearing body armor, one group vandalized vehicles and attacked the building with fireworks. This was a ruse to draw out the immigration police officers so a sniper hiding nearby in the woods could shoot them.
A local police officer who responded to the disturbance was shot in the neck. Thankfully, he is expected to survive. Another sniper fired at least 20 rounds at unarmed immigration officers. Fortunately, they were not hit.
This was a leftist “military” unit carrying out a violent insurrection against federal authorities. Ten of these extremists are facing charges of attempted murder of a federal official. Nancy Larson, acting US Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said:
“This was an egregious attack on federal and local law enforcement officers, and it is part of an increasing trend of violence against them. This will not be tolerated. Those who use violence against law enforcement officers will be . . . prosecuted with the toughest criminal statutes and penalties that we have available to us.”
Yesterday, a heavily armed man attacked a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, on the southern border. McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said the attacker was “loaded for bear” and fired “multiple dozens of rounds” attempting to kill immigration police.
The Border Patrol agents and local police officers returned fire and killed the attacker. Two Border Patrol agents and one police officer were injured in the attack.
The attempted killer had spray-painted a Latin phrase on his vehicle that is connected with a revolutionary communist movement dedicated to overthrowing capitalist governments.
It’s only a matter of time before immigration police officers, their spouses, or even their children are brutally murdered by crazed leftist killers.
Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullin blasted the “absolute silence” from Democrats regarding these violent attacks against federal immigration police. “Any other time, you’d have every Democrat out there saying that we need gun control,” Mullin said. “Now they’re not saying a word about it.”
The Real Insurrection
When Donald Trump gave a speech in front of the White House on January 6th, 2021, he told the crowd to march to Capitol Hill to “peacefully and patriotically” make their voices heard.
The entire Democrat establishment claimed for years that Trump “incited an insurrection” by telling the crowd to storm the Capitol. It was a total lie, but the fake news media dutifully repeated it over and over and over.
Meanwhile, Democrat Party leaders have been stoking hate and violence against federal immigration police for years. Let me remind you of a few examples.
- Former President Joe Biden accused our Border Patrol agents of racism.
- Former Vice President Kamala Harris compared our immigration police to the KKK.
- Governor Tim Walz compared our immigration police to Hitler’s Gestapo.
Biden. Harris. Walz. These are party leaders, not low-level activists from the fringes of San Francisco.
In addition to their hateful rhetoric, liberal members of Congress are physically assaulting immigration police officers and physically threatening the secretary of Homeland Security.
Left-wing judges are helping criminal illegal aliens escape through their courtrooms in order to avoid arrest.
Progressive politicians are deliberately getting arrested for interfering in immigration enforcement operations.
They are vowing to “fight back” and prevent immigration enforcement operations.
They are mobilizing violent street gangs to fight immigration police officers.
And they are praising the “resistance” against our immigration police as “inspirational,” inspiring more leftist revolutionaries to engage in violence.
Just like they did in the years leading up to the Civil War, Democrats are once again engaged in an open insurrection against federal authority.
Putting Americans Last
We all remember the devastating wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles communities at the beginning of this year. A major public event was held yesterday to mark the six-month anniversary of the fires and highlight some of the recovery efforts.
Several top California officials were there, including Governor Gavin Newsom. But one prominent politician was conspicuously absent. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass skipped the event because she had “more important” things to do.
Where was Mayor Bass? She was harassing our immigration police.
But they weren’t rounding up illegal day laborers at a local Home Depot or farm workers. They were conducting an enforcement operation in a public park that has long been overrun by violent gangs. (Here, here, and here.)
Bass wasn’t there to help. She was there to stop immigration police from making the park safe for the residents of her city, while she ignored others who are still reeling from her incompetence during the January wildfires.
That’s putting Americans last.
What Inflation?
The “experts” have been screaming for months that Trump’s tariffs will lead to surging inflation. Maybe it’s still coming, but so far there is no evidence of any inflationary impact from Donald Trump’s tariff policy.
In fact, the numbers we have now are the exact opposite. The prices of imported goods are down slightly, while overall goods are up slightly.
How can that be? Well, one reason is because foreign suppliers are eating part of the tariff costs. Companies importing goods are also eating some of the tariff costs because they don’t want to lose customers by raising prices.
A Big Win
Freedom won big today! In a victory for religious liberty and free speech, the IRS has determined that pastors can endorse candidates for public office from the pulpit.
The announcement was the result of the IRS agreeing to settle a lawsuit filed by two Texas churches challenging the Johnson Amendment, a regulation that muzzles nonprofit groups when it involves political speech. This settlement would not have happened if Kamala Harris controlled the IRS.
The Texas churches asked a federal court to create a broad exemption for all nonprofit groups, secular and religious, to make endorsements to their members. The IRS met them halfway by agreeing to exempt only religious nonprofits. In court filings, the IRS declared:
“Communications from a house of worship to its congregation in connection with religious services through its usual channels of communication on matters of faith do not run afoul of the Johnson Amendment as properly interpreted.”
In other words, pastors are free to endorse candidates from their pulpits during Sunday services. As the New York Times put it, such endorsements would be viewed as “a private matter, like ‘a family discussion concerning candidates.’”
And to that I say, “AMEN!”
The “separation of church and state” appears nowhere in the Constitution. The Left has perverted the First Amendment to mean not freedom of religion but freedom from religion. Our Founding Fathers would be mortified.
They never meant to keep faith out of our government. They meant to keep the government out of our churches!
