a lawmaker

HAVANA— Elián González has the same big, expressive eyes he did 23 years ago when an international custody battle transformed him into the face of the long-strained relations between Cuba and the United States. Now 29, González is stepping into Cuban politics. He recently entered his country’s congress with hopes of helping his people at a time of record emigration and heightened tension between the two seaside neighbors. “From Cuba, we can do a lot so that we have a more solid country, and I owe it to Cubans,” he said during an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.

In less than three years, President Joe Biden’s “got-away tsunami” has imported an illegal alien population the size of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a new analysis detailed.

The increase will raise the daily total of migrant admissions through the application from 1,250 per day to 1,450. According to CBP’s announcement on June 30, the number represents a nearly 50 percent increase from the daily total appointments available from May 12, when CBP officers began processing 1,000 appointments daily.
The application is touted by CBP as a “safe, orderly, and humane” process for migrants to access ports of entry,

The Transportation secretary roasted the Florida governor for trying to 'prove his manhood' with a video comparing him to an 'oiled-up bodybuilder' and Leonardo DiCaprio depicting the infamous Jordan Belfort in Wolf of Wall Street.
'I just don't understand the mentality of somebody who gets up in the morning thinking that he's going to prove his worth by competing over who can make life hardest for a hard-hit community that is already so vulnerable in America,' Buttigieg said
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was “profoundly disrespectful” when disagreeing with fellow Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Anchor Dana Bash said, “Thomas wrote, ‘Justice Jackson uses her broad observations about statistical relationships between race and select measures of health, wealth, and well-being to label all blacks as victims. Her desire to do so is unfathomable to me. It is an insult to individual achievement and cancerous to young minds seeking to push though barriers. Their race is not to blame for everything good or bad that happens in their lives.’ What is your response to that?”
A man who transitioned to become a woman when he was just 19 has laid bare his pain and heartbreak following the decision that 'destroyed' his life.

Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated the end of Pride Month by hosting the rainbow flag at her home to celebrate the Left's progressive LGBTQ agenda-- emceed by none only than a drag queen. This week, Harris partied with a score of alphabet people and several drag queens at an event in collaboration with GLAAD— formerly known as the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation— at her Washington, D.C. home.
Not only was her emasculated husband Douglas Emhoff in attendance, Sasha Colby, the Season 15 winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race, entertained the backyard soirée filled with Leftists and anti-morals, pro-child indoctrinating activists.
Rickie Fowler is a winner on the PGA Tour once again, beating Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin in a playoff to seal victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Former President Donald Trump bashed President Joe Biden as "grossly incompetent" while commenting Sunday on Biden's slip-up last week in which he confused Ukraine and Iraq.
In an appearance on Andrew Giuliani's radio show, Trump poked fun at Biden's recent slip-up, using the gaffe as a jumping point to attack the president's cognitive abilities. "This is a serious problem, but, he made a little bit of a mistake. He thought Ukraine and Iraq were the same," Trump said. "I don't know what he was thinking. But I watched that, and you know, some things you can do, you can say, that's one thing you can't say.
Like many of my acquaintances, I feel alternately despondent and outraged by the unfolding story of the Bidens’ Excellent Bribery Adventure.
The despondency comes from the bitter recognition that, notwithstanding the veritable tsunami of commentary that has accompanied the story—a tsunami to which I have contributed myself—we are probably months if not years from getting to the bottom of this fish pond. After all, it’s alleged that Hunter Biden and his enablers set up a complex series of shell companies—at least 20 of them by some counts—that will make following the money a forensic nightmare. Remember, the Big Guy himself, challenged about the allegations by a reporter, scoffed,

Boston University School of Law students were offered therapy after three controversial Supreme Court decisions this week about affirmative action, religious freedom and student debt forgiveness. The BU Law Student Government Association's (SGA) statement, sent out to law students Friday afternoon, denounced the three Supreme Court decisions of the week: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis and Biden v. Nebraska.
In an email obtained by Fox News Digital, the student board began by lambasting the Supreme Court's decision in the Students for Fair Admissions case, which declared race-based affirmative action in college admissions is unconstitutional.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denounced the United States Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action, prompting a wave of criticism from Americans. Kennedy said in a Thursday tweet that he believes historically racist policies are now “self-perpetuating” and need to be corrected with affirmative action, which uses quotas or special preference in admitting or hiring racial and ethnic minority groups.[Snip]“Well, my interest in the Kennedy candidacy has just dropped 75%. Too bad. He was interesting for a short period of time,” tweeted a U.S. Navy veteran living in Japan.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Supreme Court has engaged in “dangerous authoritarian expansion of power.”
Ocasio-Cortez said, “We have justices saying that the Supreme Court is going themselves much too far. They are expanding their role into acting as though they are Congress itself. And that, I believe, is an expansion of power that we really must be focusing on. The danger of this court and the abuse of power in this court particularly as it is related to the entanglements around conflicts of interest, as well.”Anchor Dana Bash asked, “Are you saying that the justices’ power should somehow be limited?”

An abandoned tea kettle with discarded cups and sugar. A long-forgotten blanket draped over a spiny cholla cactus. These are just some of the items volunteers and immigrant rights advocates have found in the unforgiving desert separating the United States from Mexico, where an untold number of people seeking asylum pass through every day. Experts say increased temperatures and a persistent heat wave in the Southwest has exacerbated an already difficult immigration crisis and endangered the lives of migrants who often undertake long and perilous journeys without food, water or sun protection. “People just don’t know what they’re up against,”
Sec. State Blinken ordered this review of the department’s response to the Afghanistan withdrawal. The result is critical of both President Trump and President Biden saying they failed to plan appropriately for the withdrawal.
The report is sharply critical of the U.S. government’s handling of the most serious evacuation crisis since the fall of Saigon. It says President Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, each failed to appreciate how a U.S. military pullout would affect the Afghan government’s stability, and that standard summer diplomatic rotations in the weeks ahead of Kabul’s collapse left the U.S. evacuation in the hands of personnel who in some cases had been in the country

A Wisconsin Democrat is facing heat after boldly stating hate for suburbs while debating the rising crime plaguing cities.
State Sen. LaTonya Johnson said, "f--- the suburbs," during a debate on the Senate floor over increased funding for police as city crime makes its way to quiet suburbs.
"To say that these additional police are needed because crime is spilling out into the suburbs. What about these babies who are being lost right in their own cities?" Johnson said.
After her long-winded rant, Johnson yelled, "F**k the suburbs because they don't know a goddamn thing about how life is in the city."
