The funeral for Hershel W. 'Woody' Williams, the last remaining Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, was held in Charleston, West Virginia, on Sunday. Williams, who died on Wednesday at 98, was a legend in his native West Virginia for his heroics under fire over several crucial hours at the battle for Iwo Jima on the Japanese Island between February and March 1945. As a young Marine corporal, Williams went ahead of his unit in February 1945 and eliminated a series of Japanese machine gun positions. Facing small-arms fire, Williams fought for four hours, repeatedly returning to prepare demolition charges and obtain flamethrowers.

A slew of workers rights groups celebrated Wednesday afternoon in Pilsen after the U.S. Department of Labor announced new guidelines that would protect undocumented workers who file labor complaints against their employers from deportation.
In an announcement last week, the labor department provided guidelines for how undocumented workers can receive immigration-related protection if they file complaints.

Who Runs the USA?

The issue of who runs this country is one of the central issues, if not the central issue, of the 21st century.
Begin with the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.”

A Texas politician has revealed that the Uvalde cop seen checking his phone in the early stages of the Robb Elementary School massacre is the husband of slain teacher Eva Mireles.
She was one of the 21 people who were killed by crazed gunman Salvador Ramos at Robb Elementary School on May 24.
In the footage of the shooting that was leaked on July 12, Officer Ruben Ruiz was shown entering the school and checking his phone. He was one of the first group of officers to respond to the initial 911 call.
The day after the leak, Texas state Rep. Joe Moody tweeted the picture
Joe Biden is visiting Israel. As we reported, it didn’t start off well, with him being confused and insulting Holocaust victims.But it didn’t stop there. Someone on the Biden team thought it would be good for him to give an interview to an Israeli outlet, N12 News. Maybe Biden’s team thought that the American audience wouldn’t see it. No such luck; we got it.Biden spoke about the three reasons he ran for president. (Tweet/Video) “I said I was running for three reasons and no one in my campaign agreed…,” Biden said. Alrighty, now. Does he mean
The desperate Unselect Committee is using unethical if not possibly illegal measures to secure favorable witness testimonies from persecuted January 6th Defendants that have pled guilty, such as their witness Stephen Ayres that testified yesterday.
Liz Cheney alleged that Trump personally reached out to a witness who has not yet testified. The truth is the JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE IS REACHING OUT TO DEFENDANTS TO TESTIFY BEFORE THEIR SENTENCING! How is this legal?
This email below was released to The Gateway Pundit by a January 6th Defendant
President Joe Biden fist-bumped the Israeli delegation as he arrived Wednesday in Tel Aviv after the White House was forced to confirm Israeli media reports that said the U.S. president would limit shaking hands during his first trip to the Middle East.
The White House said it was an uptick in COVID cases - and not forthcoming interactions with the controversial Saudi crown prince - that triggered the decision to limit Biden shaking hands.
And so upon his arrival at the Ben Gurion Airport, Biden went down the line of Israel's leaders -
A defiant Steve Bannon was loaded for bear, delivering fiery remarks after he reversed course on providing testimony to the Liz Cheney-Nancy Pelosi January 6 kangaroo court, daring the committee to allow him to testify in public and vowing to go “medieval” on the panel if given the opportunity.
During the latest edition of his “War Room” podcast, the former White House chief strategist whose trial for contempt of Congress is set to begin next week, dared the committee to take up his challenge, potentially setting up the first must-see television performance of the ongoing Soviet-style show trial of former President Trump and his associates by Pelosi’s stacked board of vicious
Barack Obama sent a scathing email to an ex-White House doctor to stop his 'unprofessional behavior' after he posted a 'cheap shot' Tweet about President Joe Biden's cognitive health.
Republican Representative Ronny Jackson made statements about 'the concerning mental gaffes' of 79-year-old Biden. But as the former White House physician to Bush, Obama and Trump, he was qualified to make the criticisms, leading Obama to send a furious message to defend his Democratic colleague.
In his new book, Holding the Line: A Lifetime of Defending Democracy and American Values', the Texas representative wrote of the 2020 campaign season: 'Biden was on TV again, making crazy statements and concerning mental gaffes;

A survey discovered that charging logistics is the primary reason why Americans aren’t buying electric vehicles.
Consumer Reports, which said it surveyed around 8,000 Americans, found that 61 percent said they wouldn’t seek to own an electric vehicle because of charging logistics while 55 percent cited the number of miles a vehicle can go per charge.

Police arrested a man, who is believed to be an illegal immigrant, on Tuesday after he allegedly raped and impregnated a ten-year-old girl who reportedly traveled from Ohio to Indiana for an abortion, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
The outlet reported that 27-year-old Gershon Fuentes confessed to raping the ten-year-old child on at least two occasions.
The child became the subject of national media attention after the Indianapolis Star reported earlier this month that an Indianapolis-based obstetrician-gynecologist named Caitlin Bernard was asked by a child-abuse doctor in Ohio to help the young girl get an abortion
Pro-abortion fanatic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has called to shut down crisis pregnancy centers “all around the country” for their work in helping women seek alternatives to abortion.
Speaking with reporters, a visibly upset Warren falsely accused crisis pregnancy centers of fooling women out of getting an abortion: In Massachusetts, right now, those ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ that are there to fool people who are looking for pregnancy termination help outnumber true abortion clinics by 3-t0-1. We need to shut them down here in Massachusetts and we need to shut them down all around the country.

A majority of Democrat voters say the Supreme Court should be abolished for its racist and misogynistic practices, according to a recent poll commissioned by the Heartland Institute.
In addition, 54 percent of young people aged 19 to 39 concur, regardless of their political association.
The survey of 1,025 U.S. voters was divided among party lines, with 53 percent of Democrats in favor of abolishing the current Supreme Court and replacing it with a “new, democratically elected . . . court with justices chosen by the American people directly,” and 33 percent “strongly” in favor. Only 21 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independents favored the ill-advised proposition.
Democrats are facing their worst political environment in over a decade heading into November’s mid-term elections. Republicans lead the generic ballot and hold a solid structural advantage in competing for the House of Representatives. And despite concerns about candidate quality, the GOP is also favored to take control of the Senate.
The correlation between presidential approval and their party’s mid-term prospects also can’t be ignored. Joe Biden has hit the lowest poll numbers of his term, with a recent Times/Siena poll showing him at just 33 percent approval with only 13 percent believing the country is on the right track.

Republican pollster Rick Shaftan is like a lot of political junkies: He looks to his mother for hints on what real America is thinking. Lately, their talks have been about former President Donald Trump and whether he should run again.

Of course, Trump does make some news, but it's mostly complaining about the 2020 election results and cheering on some 140 GOP candidates he has endorsed for 2022 who have won so far.
But for the 2024 race, Shaftan’s mother and millions of other Republicans are starting to look past Trump to others more engaged on problems shocking the nation and taking on President Joe Biden.
Bradley Cooper and Huma Abedin are reportedly dating after being set up by Anna Wintour.
The power couple have been seeing each other for several months in secret, according to Page Six, and even arrived at the Met Gala together in May before parting ways to keep their affair under wraps.

All five major social media platforms received failing grades regarding the safety of LGBTQ users, according to a new report released by GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization. The organization released Wednesday the findings of its second annual Social Media Safety Index (SMSI), an analysis of LGBTQ user safety across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and TikTok. After evaluating the five platforms on 12 LGBTQ-specific indicators—including policies on misgendering or deadnaming; actions to restrict harmful content; prohibition of harmful advertising; option to add gender pronouns on user profiles; as well as a commitment to protect LGBTQ users from harm—GLAAD found that all five of them received scores
An Afghan migrant who raped and sexually assaulted multiple young boys and girls defended his vile abuse as 'normal' cultural practice in his home country. Mohammed Rahman Arsala, 32, moved to Saint-Brieuc in northern France in 2018 where he committed a string of offences. He was jailed last year for 15 years for raping a 12-year-old boy and was hauled back before the courts last week to answer for further offences against children. The court heard in July 2021 how Arsala followed the underage boy off a bus, grabbed his arm and took him to an abandoned warehouse to carry out the attack in August 2018.
CNN data analyst Harry Enten said Wednesday on “Anderson Cooper 360” that the presidency of Joe Biden is being eaten alive by record inflation.
Enten said, “Back in July of 2021, a year ago, no one was saying inflation was a concern outside of Larry Summers. Then it started picking up in December of 2021. Now, it is a clear number one issue, and we see this clear correlation as more people are concerned about inflation, Joe Biden’s disapproval rating climbs ever higher.” Cooper said, “Larry Summers did get it right.” Enten said, “He did.”
He added, “Yeah, so we can look at both Joe Biden’s disapproval rating on inflation
