By: Ava-joye Burnett | Denver7 The high court determined the Trump administration is able to cancel a program that formally provided refuge for people who are fleeing violence or natural disasters in their home countries.

The countries include Ethiopia, Burma, South Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria and Haiti. The high court determined that the Trump administration is able to cancel the program, which formally provided refuge for people who are fleeing violence or natural disasters in their home countries.

U.S. Keeps World Cup Dream Alive With Hard-Fought Victory Over Bosnia

By: Staff | CBS News The United States is through to the round of 16 after taking down Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0, in just the second-ever win in the World Cup knockout round for the men's team — but a controversial red card will leave the national team without one of its key players for the next match. Folarin Balogun got the scoring going with a goal in the 45th minute, sending the U.S. into the half with a 1-0 lead. It looked like Balogun had given the U.S. the lead in the 31st minute, but he was called offside, and another opportunity in stoppage time at the end of the first half bounced off the crossbar.  But Balogun was sent off with a red card in the 64th minute after challenging Bosnia's Tarik Muharemović and coming down on his foot, c...

Supreme Court Upholds Counting of Mail Ballots Received After Election Day

By: The Washington Stand | The Western Journal A closely-divided U.S. Supreme Court has handed down a critical decision on election integrity, jeopardizing the security of American elections and the sovereignty of the nation. In an opinion released Monday morning in Watson v. Republican National Committee (RNC), the court’s narrow majority ruled that mail-in ballots postmarked by election day may still be counted even if received after election day. “Three federal statutes set the day for the election of Representatives, Senators, and the President,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority. At issue is a Mississippi state law allowing ballots received by mail and postmarked by election day to be counted for up to five days after election day. The RNC argued...

High Court Blocks Trump Plan To Restrict Birthright Citizenship

By: Jacob Wheeler | The Daily Wire "The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land,'" Roberts wrote. The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday permanently blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship, dealing a significant blow to his immigration agenda and preventing a sweeping overhaul of who qualifies for U.S. citizenship. In a landmark ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court held that children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause. “Citizenship, then and now, was the right ...

DEA Whistleblower Says Biden Era Operation Let Million Fentanyl Pills Hit Streets

By Katherine Pugh | Just the News The scandal, mirroring that of the 2009-2011 Operation Fast and Furious, was used to gain intel for cases against major drug traffickers in an effort to eventually save more lives. A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent has evidence that his agency and federal prosecutors let more than 1 million fentanyl pills flow onto the streets of New Mexico during the Biden era and then tried to silence him from testifying after he blew the whistle, the agent's lawyer tells Just the News. "DEA has a campaign that says one pill can kill, and so the DEA allowing this to happen was really significant. It was driven also by the US Attorney's Office in New Mexico," Attorney Tristan Leavitt, president of the Empower Oversight, whistleblower cent...

Supreme Court Unanimously Rejects Federal Gun Ban For Marijuana Users

By: Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held on Thursday that the federal government’s use of a federal law restricting gun possession for certain unlawful drug users to be “inconsistent with the Second Amendment.” “The Second Amendment protects the right of ‘all Americans’ to keep and bear firearms for self defense,” the court’s “narrow” ruling reads. “Affording the government ‘broad power to designate any group as dangerous and thereby disqualify its members from having a gun’ would risk allowing it to ‘quickly swallow’ the Second Amendment.” Known as U.S. v. Hemani, the case centers around the government’s prosecution of Ali Hemani, a Texas resident who was charged under a provision (18 U.S. Code § 922(g)(3)) ...

ActBlue CEO Refuses To Answer Questions In Congressional Fraud Probe

By Mariane Perez | Breitbart ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment rights Wednesday during a congressional hearing on allegations the Democrat fundraising platform accepted foreign-linked donations. Wallace-Jones declined to answer a series of questions from Rep.

Media Ignores Questions Surrounding California Vote Counting as Familiar Patterns Reappear

By: Chris Bray | Commentary, The Federalist Legacy media are insisting that there’s no evidence of fraud or cheating in California’s recent primary elections. It’s obviously not true. Legacy media don’t describe. They exist to prevent description, corralling and deflecting. In the famous description from Iowahawk, “Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.” Four states held primary elections on June 9, and on the morning of June 10, they were either ahead in their count or about as far along in their count of ballots as California, which held its primaries on June 2.
