Austin, Texas— Texas must move a large floating barrier that Gov. Greg Abbott placed on the river between the U.S. and Mexico this summer as part of the Republican’s escalating attempts to stop migrants from crossing America’s southern border, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. U.S. District Judge David Ezra stopped short of ordering Texas to dismantle the wrecking-ball sized buoys on the Rio Grande but called them a threat to safety and relationships between the neighboring countries. His preliminary injunction instructs Texas, for now, to move the barrier out of the water and onto the riverbank by Sept. 15.

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have reportedly unearthed steps descending into the Pool of Siloam, where Biblical records show Jesus Christ healed a blind man over 2,000 years ago at one of the most significant heritage sites in the world.
“It’s exciting to be a part of a story that’s bigger than ourselves — to be a part of bringing a story to life that has significance not for millions, but for billions,” Ze’ev Orenstein, director of international affairs for the City of David Foundation, told Fox News Digital.
New York City's migrant crisis will cost the city more than $4billion this fiscal year if the situation continues - as mayor Eric Adams warned the influx of asylum seekers could destroy the city.
Despite mayor Adams' cries for help from the state and federal government, the city has not received aid to cover the extra costs, so the $4.7billion would come from the city's budget. That amount is equal to the budgets for the city's sanitation, fire and parks departments combined.
More than 110,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city since the Spring of 2022, with over currently 10,000 arriving every month, and about 1,000 every single day.
Most businesses now use monitoring software to track workers' activity while on the clock, a new study has shown - with several such as JPMorgan tracking and penalizing employees even while in the office.
In a survey of some 1,000 business leaders across the country, ResumeBuilder.com found 96 percent of respondents working at organizations with either a remote or hybrid workforce said their firms used some form of employee-monitoring software.
Only 10 percent of those companies were doing so before the pandemic, the survey found - as firms like Google, Amazon, and Meta continue to commit to crackdowns for not spending sufficient time in their offices.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee made a dramatic claim that if former President Donald Trump is kept off the ballot, or loses the 2024 election, due to his legal woes it will be the last U.S. election 'decided by ballots rather than bullets.'
Huckabee, a longtime ally of the former president, made the comment on his Trinity Broadcasting Network show Wednesday evening.
He asked his audience if they knew how those in power in 'third world dictatorships, banana republics and communist regimes' dealt with their political opponents.
WASHINGTON — Trump White House official Peter Navarro was convicted Thursday of contempt of Congress charges filed after he was accused of refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The verdict came after a short trial for Navarro, who served as a White House trade adviser under President Donald Trump and later promoted the Republican’s baseless claims of mass voter fraud in the 2020 election he lost.
Navarro was the second Trump aide to face contempt of Congress charges after former White House adviser Steve Bannon. Bannon was convicted of two counts and was sentenced to four months behind bars,
Vice President Kamala Harris is just itching to take over if President Biden should become incapacitated or worse, asserting that she’s more than ready to do so. (Video) During an interview with Associated Press reporter Chris Megerian, Harris made it clear that an integral part of her job as vice president is the fact that she “may have to take over” if Biden can no longer perform his duties.
At the beginning of the interview, she attempted to deflect a question on Biden’s age by alluding to his legislative accomplishments. Biden is currently 80 years old and is already the oldest ever to serve as president.
Trump's Movement Transcends Politics

By now, everybody has heard Donald Trump say: "They're not after me; they're after you. I'm just standing in their way." It is a rallying cry for his supporters and "conspiracy" fuel for his critics. But as is the case in many instances, Trump is right. In fact, "they" have already begun coming after us — which is why the Trump political movement has officially transcended politics. America's fiercest enemy is now those within its own government using Trump's persecutions as a vehicle to covertly violate individual freedoms. The damage they are causing is undeniable, and the Trump movement represents the strongest, most wide-reaching,
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Texas must remove a 1,000-foot floating barrier in the Rio Grande by Sept. 15.
The barrier, meant to deter illegal immigration, was installed in July as part of Operation Lone Star, but immediately faced backlash from both Mexico and the Biden administration, which sued Texas that month arguing the federal government has sole jurisdiction over the Rio Grande. In a 42-page ruling, [Judge David A.] Ezra, a Reagan appointee, found that the barrier violates the federal Rivers and Harbors Act by creating an obstruction in the river that makes it impossible to navigate.
Thursday on FBN’s “Mornings with Maria,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) reacted to the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation and prosecution of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.
Blackburn said the DOJ’s approach demonstrated a double standard of justice. “So, your reaction to what looks like to be a change for the first son,” FBN host Cheryl Casone said. “We’re expecting September 29 at least on the gun charge. Does this satisfy those that want to see Hunter Biden actually face justice for those crimes that he committed?”
“Not at all,” Blackburn replied. “This is addressing — addressing one thing of many,
Kari Lake released a statement yesterday, highlighting a recent court order related to Maricopa County’s fraudulent signature verification and telling Americans she has the “utmost confidence” in her upcoming trial on September 21.
A Yavapai County judge last week rejected Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss the Arizona Free Enterprise Club and Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections’ recent lawsuit to prohibit the Arizona Secretary of State from enforcing illegal election procedures relating to mail-in ballot signature verification. This ruling confirmed that Maricopa County has been conducting elections unlawfully.

President Joe Biden's son Hunter has been at the center of an extremely lucrative multi-million dollar influence peddling scheme spanning decades - which could take down his father's political career say Republicans.
But how did Hunter get his hands on a 2.8-carat diamond from the Chinese, $83,000 a month from Ukrainians and $1 million from mysterious Romanians?
By trading in on the Biden family's influential 'brand,' the GOP claims.The estimated up to $40 million was raked in through 20 shell companies and fake accounts created while Joe Biden was vice president, at the same time he was joining Hunter's business calls and stopping by at lavish dinners.

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday called on his party to turn away from what he described as a growing threat of populism led by his former White House boss Donald Trump and “his imitators.”
In a speech delivered at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, Pence said that “Republican voters face a choice” between conservative principles and the rising populist movement within the party.
In his sharpest language to date against the Trump wing of the GOP, Pence said that the populists were substituting limited government and traditional values for “an agenda stitched together by little else than personal grievances and performative outrage.”

Vice President Kamala Harris said during an interview Wednesday that she was ready to fulfill her constitutional duty to assume the presidency should President Biden be unable to govern as questions swirl around his health and age. Biden, who is 80 and is turning 81 in November, continues to be the oldest serving president in U.S. history. Should Democrats win again in 2024, he will be 82 before he is sworn into a potential second term and would be 86 at the end of it. Harris described the idea of possibly stepping into the role of president as "hypothetical" but
Mayor Eric Adams issued his most dire warning yet about the consequences of the migrant crisis in the Big Apple on Wednesday, telling New Yorkers that the ongoing influx “will destroy New York City.”
New York City has received more than 100,000 illegal immigrants since the spring, when border states began busing migrants to blue “sanctuary cities” which have committed to providing shelter and social services to all individuals regardless of immigration status. At a town hall meeting in Manhattan, Adams said New York City is receiving 10,000 migrants per month.
“Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that Donald Trump is civilly liable for defamatory statements he made about writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when she went public with claims he had raped her decades earlier.
Judge Lewis Kaplan, as part of that ruling, said the upcoming trial for Carroll's lawsuit against Trump will only deal with the question of how much the former president should pay her in monetary damages for defaming her. Normally, a jury would determine at trial whether a defendant is liable for civil damages claimed by a plaintiff.
But Kaplan found that Carroll was entitled to a partial summary judgment
Is there anyone less fit to be around men of authentic valor than cowardly, self-dealing Joe Biden?
Breaking all protocol as well as common decency, he wandered off the set during a Medal of Honor ceremony, leaving the honoree, Capt. Larry L. Taylor, awkwardly on the podium alone.
Here's what he did: (Snip) Seriously, he wandered off, leaving Capt. Taylor, the White House's guest of honor, to fend for himself, well before the closing prayer and other protocol niceties.
Why the hell did he do that? Your guess is as good as mine given that all the White House will give on such a matter is gaslightings. Here are a few possibilities:

Does Karine Jean-Pierre think you are stupid? It certainly seems that way after the White House press secretary delivered a laughable excuse for Joe Biden's early exit from a Medal of Honor ceremony on Tuesday. As RedState reported, the ceremony was being held to honor U.S. Army Cpt. Larry Taylor, who heroically served as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. Everything started off normal enough, even if Biden's salute was a little clumsy. Attendees were left confused, though, after the president suddenly bolted from the stage (Snip) According to Jean-Pierre, that was "done on purpose." What was the reason?
