Democrats’ lawfare efforts hit a snag in Arizona after the state’s Supreme Court blocked Attorney General Kris Mayes’ prosecution efforts against President Donald Trump’s allies. But she has already indicated she will try again.
The Arizona Supreme Court declined to review lower court decisions that sent the state’s case back on due process grounds. Just minutes after the ruling, a spokesman for Mayes’ office said she “will take the case back to a grand jury to seek new indictments.”
This means the Democrats will have to start all over instead of moving to trial.
The original indictment targeted several Arizona Republicans for their efforts to challenge the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
From June 4 through June 7, we mark the anniversary of the 1942 Battle of Midway, a decisive turning point in World War II and a vital victory for the Americans over Imperial Japanese forces.
Actually, June 4 is also the anniversary of the 1944 American liberation of Rome, the first Axis powers capital to fall to the Allies, also a very important victory during WWII. But President Donald Trump focused specifically on Midway in his official statement.
He began, “In the months following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Imperial Japan advanced across the Pacific with fierce momentum, seizing territory and challenging Allied forces at every turn
At the end of the day, you won’t find a more envious, petty, bitter, and catty bunch of people than liberal women. When they’re not feeding their cats, they’re online, often wasting what little time we all have on this earth following the lives of people they detest — people who are actively living their own lives, like Karoline Leavitt.
That would explain why the White House press secretary, who is on maternity leave, has the liberal “Karens” all tied in knots over her social posts about things like recipes, healthy eating, and motherhood.
The "Great American State Fair" was supposed to be the topper to a summer's worth of events, parties, and patriotic celebrations honoring America's 250th birthday.
The Fair was supposed to be a non-partisan, non-political event. The White House had nothing to do with the planning, especially relating to the nine musical acts who agreed to perform. A non-partisan commission made up of Republicans and Democrats chose the acts and planned the schedule.
There's more than music on the agenda.

rare sacral chordoma’: ‘In a lot of
pain’ after 7-hour surgery replies
Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, in a heartfelt X post Thursday, revealed her husband Abraham Williams is recovering at home after undergoing nearly seven hours of surgery for what she described as a “very rare sacral chordoma.”
“My husband Abraham was diagnosed with a very rare sacral chordoma,” Gabbard wrote Thursday on X. “The surgery to remove bone and surrounding tissue lasted almost seven hours and was successful.
“He had a rough night and is in a lot of pain but is finally home resting. Now recovery begins.”
Gabbard announced her pending resignation as DNI to support her husband through his battle with “an extremely rare form of bone cancer,”

A Marine Corps veteran fought off a group of teens who tried to carjack him at gunpoint in broad daylight in Maryland.
Jheyco Borda was working on his truck in Oxon Hill — about 10 miles outside Washington, DC — when four hooded teens approached him around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, surveillance video posted to his Facebook page shows.
“Be careful and be aware of your surroundings,” Borda warned in the caption. [Video]
The teens surrounded Borda at the bed of his truck while one suspect — who was wearing a red, white and blue sweatshirt — pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the veteran’s head,
When the New York Times spoke with Lyndsey Fifield about her experiences with Graham Platner, the paper made promises. Representatives of the paper said they would protect her, that men couldn't keep getting away with it. They collected her diary pages, her screenshots, her contacts, and walked away with everything she had. Then they published their story.
The story they published was damning, but, according to Fifield, they omitted the most serious allegation.
Fifield had every reason to stay quiet. She described her current life as genuinely good, raising two young daughters in a safe neighborhood, working from home, active in her church, and surrounded by close friends and family.

New information about the brutal stabbing murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak continues to surface, and each revelation is seemingly worse than the last. In the latest development the Daily Mail now outlines that Nowak’s killer, Vickrum Digwa, actually recorded his victim lying on the ground in agony as the murderer mocked him.
Incredibly the judge in the trial ruled the killer’s own recording of his murder, “too disturbing to be shown” in court. Digwa did not call for an ambulance after stabbing his victim but did take pictures and record Henry Nowak. However, the killer’s own video was NOT shown in court! The footage the court ruled
President Donald Trump has been having a field day with the agonizingly slow vote count in California’s primary.
“The Dumocrats are at it again!” he posted Thursday on Truth Social. “They are trying to STEAL THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA PRIMARY, AND THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, PRIMARY, AWAY FROM TWO GREAT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.”
Which, of course, set off a frenzy of “Trump lies” responses from Democrats and the press.
But even if Trump is wrong about fraud, he’s right to complain about this laughably inept process.
So, a late-night ballot drop in Los Angeles appears to have changed the dynamics of the midterm election.
But, hey, the state might be counting for days or weeks yet, so let’s not jump to conclusions, right?
Sure, Florida can count 10 million ballots in one day and evening, as can many other states and nations, and Florida has mail balloting, too, but California Democrats say that the reason it takes the erstwhile Golden State so long to tally its votes is because they want to make sure every vote is counted.
It’s about “our democracy,” you see.
Well, they want to make sure every illegal ballot is counted, that is for sure.
NASA has ordered astronauts to prepare for evacuation from the International Space Station (ISS) over 'worsening air leaks'.
The space agency told astronauts to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for potential evacuation on Friday as a Russian crew attempts to fix a worsening leak.
The four astronauts of NASA's Crew-12 mission on the station - two U.S. astronauts, a French astronaut and Russian cosmonaut - got orders from NASA mission control at 9:04 a.m. ET Monday to enter their Crew Dragon spacecraft docked to the station.
Can California Still Be Saved?
replies
The recent California gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral elections—where, remarkably, Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt both appear to have advanced to the general election in November—offer a glimmer of hope.
Could it be that some on the Left, along with a number of Independents, have finally realized that neither wealth nor an upscale ZIP code can protect them from the Left’s vindictive socialist madness?
California gas prices, even prior to the Iran war, had reached the highest levels in the continental United States.

Who’s Obsessed With Race?
replies
Liberals like to denounce the rest of us as racists, but the truth is that they are the ones who are obsessed with race. This is a classic example: “BBC apologises for misquoting Farage on Nowak murder.”
The BBC has apologised to Nigel Farage after one of its presenters misquoted his comments about the killing of Henry Nowak.
During Tuesday’s Newsnight programme, Matt Chorley, the presenter, said that the Reform UK leader had told the public to respond to the murder with “white cold rage”, when he had said “pure cold rage”.
Reform argued that this implied a racial element to what Mr Farage had said and changed his meaning.
Of course it did.
As predictable as the Sun rising in the East, new bombshells dropped against the embattled Maine Democrat Senate candidate, Herr Oystergruppenfuhrer Graham Platner. The New York Times published an article enumerating some deeply concerning behaviors by Platner as told by his ex-girlfriends. An emergency interview with MS Now’s Chris Hayes ensued. Here are some of the most telling moments from that interview.
For the most part, the interview played like a 24-minute extended remix of The New York Times’s Lulu García-Navarro asking Platner whether there was anything else he wanted to get ahead of
I'm not sure if he said it first, but Mark Steyn probably said it most clearly: Demographics is destiny. A society that doesn’t reproduce is going to perish. Unless it replenishes its population through immigration, in which case, it’s going to be a very different society, and almost certainly not one that nations’ founders ever envisioned. That’s the reality of contemporary Europe, including England, and it’s not pretty, as Matt Goodwin reports:
According to new figures from Eurostat, the people of Europe are experiencing the most profound demographic shift in their history. Between 2010 and today, in only 16 years, the number of foreign-born residents in Europe rocketed
US employers added 172,000 jobs in May while the country’s unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, a sign of a resilient labor market despite rising inflation and economic uncertainty brought on by continued conflict in the Middle East.
Economists initially predicted there would be about 80,000 new jobs and a steady unemployment rate of 4.3%. Job figures for March and April were also revised up 29,000 and 64,000, respectively, a 93,000 boost compared to initial figures. The new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the latest in a number of reports that have pointed to strong hiring in recent months, despite
When you are passing judgments on individuals regarding their character, it is not right to judge them based on their immutable characteristics as part of a group.
We judge individuals based on who they are and what they do.
On the other hand, when you are evaluating a group, it's just as wrong to disaggregate it into individual atoms and claim that there are no group characteristics that are relevant to making a judgment.
That's why it is simultaneously true that individuals who are part of some group may be good, and the group as a whole is still harmful. When I meet a liberal, for instance,
A Cornell student activist who hounded the Ivy League school’s president Michael Kotlikoff in the parking lot following an Israel-Palestine debate has been banned from campus.
Aiden Vallecillo is prohibited from attending any events at the Ithaca institution for one year after he was a part of a larger group of students who filmed and surrounded Kotlikoff, demanding to talk with the administrator as he walked to his car on April 30, according to WBNG.
Vallecillo, who graduated from the elite upstate university in May, was issued a persona non grata by university police at his off-campus apartment, on May 28, five days after graduating from the school.
Americans should expect, at a minimum, to have elections that are free and fair, and results that are delivered promptly. But California is taking its laid-back reputation too far, failing to deliver its election results in a timely manner and creating the perception that they are neither free nor fair.
Slothful election results have plagued California for years since it made wholesale changes to its election system in 2016. It has mass mail-in ballots that can be counted post-election and allows for an extremely slow pace of counting.
Proponents of the system say this makes their elections more “secure” and accessible.
You won’t be surprised to learn that Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat,
The House Armed Services Committee (HASC) late Thursday passed the annual Defense policy bill, sending the mammoth, nearly $1.15 trillion measure to the full House after debating a chunk of some 900 offered amendments for 14 hours.
The measure, known as the fiscal 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed the panel by a 44 to 12 vote, with the final gavel falling at midnight. All Republicans and nearly half of the panel’s Democrats voted in favor of the bill, an unusually small number of Democrats given that only one or two on the historically bipartisan committee typically oppose the bill as it heads to the House floor.
Putin has previously used the International Economic Forum, in Russia’s cultural capital, to showcase his country’s economy and encourage foreign investment.
But if he had hoped to minimize the impact of the four-year-old conflict at this year’s event, Wednesday’s attack likely ended those hopes.
An oil terminal was set ablaze, flights at the city’s airport were delayed or diverted, and authorities cut cellphone internet service in a bid to prevent further drone strikes. Putin’s speech also comes at a time when Russia’s $3-trillion economy appears to be stagnating.
As the initial boost from massive military spending fizzles,
Economists polled by Dow Jones believe that the U.S. economy will have added 80,000 positions in May and that the unemployment rate will be unchanged, at a low 4.3%. Average hourly earnings, which fell below the rate of inflation in April, are expected to rise 0.3%. Wages are expected to rise 3.4% from a year ago.
In April, inflation sharply accelerated for a second month to 3.8%, its highest level in three years, because of the surging prices of oil and gas and their wider economic ripples. (The Bureau of Labor Statistics is scheduled to release May’s inflation numbers Wednesday.)

During a congressional hearing this week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was subjected to a barrage of rude interruptions and gotcha questions from Rep. John Larson (D-CT), who seemed more interested in scoring cheap political points than actually helping American families struggling with high gas prices.
The Democrat lawmaker repeatedly cut off the Secretary, demanding a yes-or-no answer on eliminating the federal gas tax while refusing to let Bessent complete a single sentence.
Here’s the full transcript of the embarrassing exchange:
