Supreme Court Path for President Trump on Birthright Citizenship
Original Article Posted By: Imright, 2/18/2025 2:51:05 AM President Donald Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, tied to the invasion on the border, tees up a major Supreme Court case that could become a historic Trump win that fixes a growing, decades-long problem. Several of the executive orders (EOs) and presidential actions on Inauguration Day - January 20 - dealt with immigration and the southern border.
Supreme Court Path for President Trump on Birthright Citizenship
Several of the executive orders (EOs) and presidential actions on Inauguration Day — January 20 — dealt with immigration and the southern border. Trump declared that what is happening on the border is an invasion of the United States and issued a proclamation banning the entry of those illegal aliens into the country.
House GOP Budget Billions for Trump Border and Immigration Policies
The action from the Budget Committee is the latest in a flurry of major developments on one of the president’s signature issues, signaling a sea change from the previous administration and indeed taking steps on that front not seen in modern American politics.
Exclusive – Mike Lee: Constitution Empowers Congress to Tap American ‘Pirates’ to Fight Cartels
The Constitution authorizes Congress in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal,” as Lee set forth his plan on The Alex Marlow Show, sandwiched between Congress’s power to declare war and its power to make rules for capturing America’s enemies.
Three Ways Donald Trump’s USAID Overhaul Dismantles the Deep State
Those three issues are reining in out-of-control spending, restoring democratic accountability in government, and restructuring bloated and ineffective government. Each of those is sparking lawsuits and could lead to congressional action, and could ultimately transform the federal government. First, spending. When a president does not spend money that Congress has appropriated it is called an impoundment.
Biden Says States Ratified Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to Constitution
The Constitution requires that any amendment must be proposed by both two-thirds of the House (290) and two-thirds of the Senate (67). After that, a majority (over 50 percent) in the legislatures of three-fourths of the states (38) must vote to ratify the proposed amendment to make it part of the Constitution. All this has happened only 27 times in American history, starting with the Bill of Rights in 1791. Congress proposed the ERA in 1972 as a top priority of the Far Left.
Christians Celebrate Christmas in 2024
Original Article Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/25/2024 5:05:28 AM Christians around the globe celebrate Christmas this week, what they believe to be the miracle of the Incarnation-that God came into this world by being born as a baby, and living a human life on this earth, believing this to be the fulfillment of centuries of prophecy. Jesus of Nazareth was born around 4 B.C. in Bethlehem, a small town in Israel about five miles south of Jerusalem.
Christians Celebrate Christmas in 2024 - ‘For to Us a Child Is Born’ Original
Jesus of Nazareth was born around 4 B.C. in Bethlehem, a small town in Israel about five miles south of Jerusalem. Christians believe that he was born to a virgin named Mary. She would likely have been around 13 to 14 years old, and was formally engaged to Joseph, who would have been around age 15 or 17. Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus had decreed a census of the Roman Empire, and Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem to register as descendants of King David, who hailed from that town.
Trump Announces Mark Paoletta as Top OMB Lawyer in White House
“Mark is a brilliant and tenacious lawyer, who worked tirelessly to advance my Agenda in the First Term,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “As OMB GC in my First Administration, Mark led the charge to identify funding to build the Southern Border Wall, and worked with then-OMB Director Russ Vought to rein in woke and weaponized Government spending.

The Truth About the Growing Hunter Biden Pardon Scandal
by Ken Klukowski, Breitbart: Disillusioned Americans across the nation are still expressing their distaste at President Joe Biden’s granting a universal pardon to his convicted criminal son, Hunter, but after separating fact from fiction, there are potential downsides for the president and his family from the Hunter Biden pardon and an uncertain answer to how this power will be used in the future.
Truth About the Hunter Biden Pardon
Understanding this growing scandal of Biden Family corruption requires understanding Hunter’s crimes as well as how presidential pardons work and how they don’t. Media stories have been hit-or-miss in explaining this scandal and have not yet discussed how this pardon could actually blow the doors open on every questionable event that involves anyone with the last name “Biden.” Hunter’s sordid story reeks of corruption, political favoritism, and the worst practices of the Deep State.
Understanding Recess Appointments as President Trump Returns to White House
Normally, under the Constitution’s Appointments Clause, senior positions in the federal government are filled by officers who are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Congress creates federal offices by passing laws, and specifies for each officer whether or not they require Senate confirmation. These senior officials are called “principal officers” in constitutional law, and of the 4,100 or so political appointees in the executive branch, there are 1,200 such senior positions.
Merchan Delays Trump Prosecution, Either Backing Down or Setting Trap
Bragg’s prosecution of former President and current President-elect Trump has been plagued by a host of constitutional violations, beginning with his indictment. The Constitution’s Sixth Amendment gives every defendant the right to be adequately “informed of the nature of and cause of the accusation” against him.
Supreme Court Rejects Meadows Case, but Might Take President Trump
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has degenerated to something of a cartoon character of incompetence and conflicts of interest as she wages lawfare against President Trump and others associated with him, shamelessly insisting that giving her unqualified boyfriend a lucrative contract to prosecute President Trump under absurd legal theories – a boyfriend who then spent some of that contract money on her for vacations – is not a conflict of interest, while bragging in courtroom...
Youngkin Can Remove Noncitizens from Virginia Voter Rolls
Youngkin removed 6,303 noncitizens from the voter rolls in Virginia between January 2022 when he took office and July 2024, pursuant to a state law in place since 2006. Then in August, Youngkin issued an executive order (EO) directing election officials to continue this program in advance of November’s election.
MI, NC Appeals Courts Order Removal of RFK Jr. from Presidential Ballots
RFK suspended his longshot third-party bid for the White House, and threw his support behind Trump, shaking up the political establishment because of the Kennedy family’s dynastic status in the Democratic Party.
States Should Pass Proof of Citizenship Laws to Register to Vote
Congress passed the Help America Vote Act in 2002 (HAVA), which created the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). That law also empowered the EAC to design a federal voter registration form that could be used in every state as an alternative to each state’s standard form. Arizona has required proof of citizenship to register since 2004. In 2013, the Supreme Court noted in Arizona v.
Randy Weber, Ken Klukowski, Kevin Sorbo, David Closson
On today’s program: Randy Weber, U.S. Representative for the 14th District of Texas,responds to the speeches from the final evening of the Democratic National Convention and highlights former President Donald Trump’s recent trip to the U.S. southern border. Ken Klukowski, a former lawyer in the White House and Department of Justice, unpacks the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding proof of citizenship to vote in Arizona.
Supreme Court Reinstates Part of Arizona Proof of Citizenship Election Law
Election law in Arizona has required proof of citizenship since 2004. A divided Supreme Court held in 2013 that a federal law allowing people to register to vote with a federal form that does not require citizenship proof overrides state law, including Arizona’s. Since then, registrants using a standard registration form must present proof, but applicants who know about the federal option can still go that route and avoid proving that they are American citizens.
Biden, Harris Propose Abolishing Supreme Court as Independent Branch
The Washington Post published an op-ed from Biden, pushing three structural changes to America’s basic safeguards for liberty found in the Constitution’s separation of powers. And Democrats’ new torchbearer — Kamala Harris — publicly embraced Biden’s agenda, thereby making it an issue for the presidential campaign. First, Biden argues that Supreme Court justices should serve 18-year terms, so every two years, there will be a vacancy that the current president would fill.
Border Security, 2nd Amendment, Judges Examples of Winning GOP Platform
Federal prosecutors charged Heriberto Carbajal-Flores under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), the federal law which makes it a crime for illegal aliens to have guns. But Judge Sharon Coleman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois said otherwise. She struck down that law, ruling in favor of Carbajal-Flores, and holding that Section 922(g)(5) violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Supreme Court Deals Massive Blow to Federal Agencies, Dumps Chevron
As Chief Justice John Roberts began in his majority opinion, if a court determines that a federal law “is silent or ambiguous with respect to the specific issue at hand, the court must, at Chevron’s second step, defer to the agency’s interpretation if it is based on a permissible construction of the statute.” “Cognizant of the limits of human language and foresight, [those who wrote the Constitution] anticipated that all new laws,” Roberts explained, “though penned with the greatest technical...
Supreme Court Blocks EPA Ozone Plan, Sides with States
“The Clean Air Act envisions States and the federal government working together to improve air quality. Under that law’s terms, States bear primary responsibility for developing plans to achieve air-quality goals,” Justice Neil Gorsuch began for the majority.
No Standing on Social Media Censorship, Alito Dissents
“During the 2020 election season and the COVID–19 pandemic, social-media platforms frequently removed, demoted, or fact checked posts containing allegedly false or misleading information,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett began for the majority.
Media Screws Up Supreme Court Flubbed Punt of Abortion Case
EMTALA is the acronym for a federal law requiring hospitals who receive federal dollars to provide emergency room (ER) care for urgent medical matters without regard to whether the patient can pay. Joe Biden’s U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a regulation treating abortion as emergency medical care under EMTALA.
Supreme Court Declares ATF Ban on Bump Stocks Illegal
“Congress has long restricted access to ‘machineguns,’ a category of firearms defined by the ability to “shoot, automatically more than one shot . . . by a single function of the trigger.” Semiautomatic firearms, which require shooters to reengage the trigger for every shot, are not machineguns,” Justice Clarence Thomas began in the majority opinion.
SCOTUS Dismisses Abortion Pill Mandate Case, Upholds Religious Liberty
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2016 and 2021 — under Democrat Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden — relaxed regulatory access to mifepristone, an abortion drug that can be taken to cause an early abortion. In a 9-0 opinion, the Supreme Court held that the pro-life doctors lacked standing to sue and thus did not decide whether or not the regulation is illegal. “Several pro-life doctors and associations sued FDA, arguing that FDA’s actions violated the Administrative Procedure Act.
Supreme Court Rules 9-0 New York Violated NRA’s 1st Amendment Rights
As the Supreme Court noted, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo hatched a scheme to push the NRA “into financial jeopardy” and ultimately “shut it down,” and the actions of his Department of Financial Services (DFS) chief Maria Vullo appeared to be an attempt to achieve precisely that. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that the lawsuit should be dismissed outright.
Supreme Court Rejects Democrat Attempt to Flip Congressional Seat in South Carolina
Rep. Nancy Mace (R) currently holds a competitive seat in South Carolina, District 1. The NAACP sued alleging that the current map is racial gerrymandering that violates the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment. The court rejected the Democrats’ arguments by a six-to-three vote. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority: The Constitution entrusts state legislatures with the primary responsibility for drawing congressional districts, and redistricting is an inescapably political enterprise.
Supreme Court to Tackle Biden DOJ’s ‘Ghost Gun’ Rule
Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a regulation in 2022 claiming that certain components that could be assembled to create an operational firearm trigger federal law’s requirement for a serial number. This crosses a line that previous administrations that oppose Second Amendment rights have been unwilling to cross, teeing up a legal challenge in the nation’s highest court during the 2024 election.
Democrats Tee Up Abortion Until Birth After Arizona Supreme Court Follows Law as Written
Original Article Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/11/2024 10:30:43 AM Democrats are teeing up a ballot measure in Arizona that would practically ensure abortion until the moment of birth, after the Arizona Supreme Court held that a new state law regulating abortion after 15 weeks did not repeal an 1864 law that allowed abortion only to save the life of the mother. In March 2022, lawmakers in Arizona adopted S.B. 1164, now referred to in the state's law books as § 36-2322.
Democrats Tee Up Abortion Until Birth After Arizona Court Decision
In March 2022, lawmakers in Arizona adopted S.B. 1164, now referred to in the state’s law books as § 36-2322. A child in the womb can feel pain by 15 weeks, and unborn children can also be seen via ultrasound sucking their thumbs and waving their hands. The new statute as a statute would allow abortions after 15 weeks only under special circumstances.
Christians Celebrate Easter – If Christ Not Raised 'Your Faith Is in Vain'
Distinctive among the religions of the world, Christians believe the founder of their faith is more than just a great moral teacher or an example to be emulated. They believe that he was God in flesh, and that after his execution on a cross outside Jerusalem in Israel, his body literally came back to life, and he rose from this earth and will one day come again.
Christians Observe Good Friday - Jesus Said, ‘It is Finished’
In America’s increasingly secular culture, fewer people than in previous generations are fully aware of what Christians believe regarding Good Friday and Easter Sunday. While these beliefs have not changed for 2,000 years, tens of millions of Americans do not understand that for many millions of their fellow citizens, these beliefs are actually central to views of the meaning of life and death. The events unfolded on a hill called Golgotha outside the walls of Jerusalem in Israel.
Unconstitutional Trump Civil Fine Should Go to SCOTUS
Judge Arthur Engoron — a county judge in New York’s court system — imposed the staggering so-called fraud fine on President Trump in response to a politically driven pursuit by New York Attorney General (AG) Letitia James, apparently the first of its kind both in terms of the AG’s action and the judge’s decision.
$1.7T Biden Spending Bill Unconstitutional
Congress passed its 2023 omnibus appropriations bill (translation – kitchen sink fiscal trainwreck) on December 29, 2022. But in doing so, House Democrats continued their Covid-era policy of allowing members to vote from whatever remote location they were in – even vacation spots – instead of being present in the House chamber to cast their votes in person.
Supreme Court Likely to Rule for Trump in Colorado Ballot Case
The liberal Colorado Supreme Court sided with Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold by a 4-3 vote, holding that Trump engaged in insurrection and that Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment thus disqualified him from running for president in 2024.

Supreme Court Rules 5-4 to Allow Biden Admin to Cut Texas Border Barrier
A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit had issued an injunction favoring Texas on December 19. As Judge Kyle Duncan wrote for the court, explaining the problem: The number of Border Patrol encounters with migrants illegally entering the country has swelled from a comparatively paltry 458,000 in 2020 to 1.7 million in 2021 and 2.4 million in 2022.
NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre Steps Down After 47 Years
With a membership that fluctuates around five million members, the NRA has been one of the most powerful political organizations in the nation, often making the difference in states and legislative districts where many Americans tend to vote Democrat on many issues but also value the right to keep and bear arms. The NRA also played a central role in the Supreme Court’s recognition of the Second Amendment as an individual right in the cases D.C. v. Heller (2008), McDonald v.
Mary to the Angel, 'How Will This Be, Since I Am a Virgin?'
Original Article Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/25/2023 2:59:07 AM Christians across the world celebrate Christmas 2023 this week - the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, a town in Israel about a 45-minute modern drive east of Jerusalem.
Christmas 2023 -- Mary to the Angel, ‘How Will This Be, Since I Am a Virgin?’
In Christianity, this is called the Incarnation – that God himself took on a human body and lived a human life. It is one of the essential beliefs of the Christian faith: that the divine Son of God, born of a virgin, would live a perfect life, decades later would die on a cross outside of Jerusalem, would be physically resurrected, and will one day come again in glory to remake the world.

GOP to Unleash 150 Subpoenas if Democrats Target Supreme Court
This subpoena fight is the latest battle in an ongoing war by the left, who in recent months have been targeting the two most conservative justices on the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, investigating and even going after private citizens who are longtime friends of the justices, most especially conservative leader Leonard Leo and GOP donor Harlan Crow. And this skirmish, driven by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), could happen as soon as Thursday.
Loudoun County Voters Oust Soros Prosecutor Buta Biberaj
George Soros has wreaked havoc nationwide by funneling enormous sums of his vast wealth into lower-profile public offices with an outsized impact on the direction of the nation. Almost 20 years ago he started his SOS Project, focusing on electing leftwing secretaries of state because they are chief elections officers of their respective states, resulting in major reinterpretations of elections laws.
