The National People’s Congress (NPC), the highest legislative body in China, announced on Friday that Vice Admiral Li Hanjun and nuclear engineer Liu Shipeng were expelled for unspecified reasons. On the same day, Admiral Miao Hua was kicked out of the Central Military Commission (CMC), the governing body of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

Reporter Charged with Possession of Child Pornography 8 replies
A Washington Post reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner was arrested and charged with allegedly possessing child pornography, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
Thomas Pham LeGro made a court appearance in U.S. District Court on Friday, after being arrested on Thursday. LeGro was arrested following a search of his residence in which agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) found “11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material” on his work computer, according to a press release.
Per the press release:
On June 26, 2025, FBI agents executed a search warrant at LeGro’s residence
No doubt that leftists will scream that the Court has backed the "Christian Nationalists" or make some similar complaint, so it's hilarious that the case that opens the door for parents to keep their kids from being subjected to alphabet ideology in the schools will forever be known as Mahmoud v Taylor.
Mahmoud. That is funny. At the root of the case is Maryland's assertion that allowing parents to opt their children out of being indoctrinated with all sorts of alphabet ideology propaganda was too large a burden for the school to bear if they wanted to educate kids. Allowing kids not to be subjected to
We all know by now that President Donald Trump won the 2024 election by some pretty big numbers, but a new study out from the Pew Research Center gives us a closer look at the people behind those numbers. The news is better than we thought, and it was already pretty good.
According to the analysis, voters who supported Trump in 2024 are "far more racially and ethnically diverse" than they were in 2020 or 2016. //snip//The conclusion? "...if all Americans eligible to vote in 2024 had cast ballots, the overall margin in the popular vote likely would not have been much different." Trump still would have won.

With Canada 'Effective Immediately' (Updated

On Friday afternoon, President Trump, in his words, "terminat[ed]" the current trade talks the U.S. and Canada have been having on tariffs, effective immediately."
Remarkably it was just 11 days ago when the president was forced by his duties as America's commander in chief to cut short his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada, readers might recall. Although, the U.S. contingent remained behind, and chalked up a trade deal with one of our allies, the United Kingdom. Now, Canadian officials have acted in a way that the Trump administration had decided to react on in return. As I said, on Friday Trump made
As RedState reported, the Trump administration scored a major victory on Friday after the Supreme Court ruled that district court-level nationwide injunctions exceeded judicial authority. That will throw a wrench into the left-wing strategy of seeking universal relief in a select few left-wing jurisdictions across the country and hopefully return some actual balance to the separation of powers within the U.S. government.
Of course, while the decision was a victory for common sense and for voters who would prefer judges not overstep their bounds to essentially operate as president, it was a defeat for Democrats who have relied on that abuse to remain in power even when they lose.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett has gotten a bad rap lately for siding with the leftist wing of the Supreme Court on a few cases, but if you ever needed a reminder of why ACB was such a pivotal addition to the Supreme Court, look no further than her latest majority opinion, which brutally destroyed Ketanji Brown Jackson for her moronic dissent in Trump v. CASA, Inc.
In a 6-3 decision that handed President Trump a major victory, the Court put the brakes on runaway district judges issuing nationwide injunctions — an abuse that’s become the left’s favorite tool for stalling any policy they dislike.
Jackson’s dissent veered into unhinged territory
The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a Texas law that requires pornography websites to the verify age of users before those users can gain access to explicit material.
The court ruled 6-3 in Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton that states may require age-verification laws to access sexually explicit materials in order to prevent children from accessing those materials. Justice Elena Kagan dissented, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion for the majority.
In a significant blow to the censorship apparatus in Germany, a court has lifted the ban imposed on the Compact magazine by former leftist Interior Minister Nancy Faeser for supposedly spreading right-wing “extremism”.
The Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig affirmed this week that freedom of expression protections must be afforded to the press, including media outlets that oppose the current political order and, therefore, overturned the ban on Compact magazine, broadcaster NTV reports.
In July of last year, then-Interior Minister Nancy Faeser issued a ban against the publication, arguing that it served as a “central mouthpiece for the right-wing extremist scene”.
A Democratic representative told homeland security adviser Stephen Miller, who is Jewish, to go back to “1930’s Germany” in a fiery X exchange on Wednesday.
Miller posted, “NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration,” referring to socialist Zohran Mamdani winning the Democratic primary for mayor. Representative Mark Pocan (D., Wis.) calmly responded, “Racist ***. Go back to 1930’s Germany.” X users were quick to point out that saying this to a Jewish man is a bad look. For example, the National Republican Congressional Committee called it “just the latest in a long line of outrageous, disgusting antisemitism” from Pocan.
Bye, Bye, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia

We don't yet know the timeline, but the Trump administration appears to be planning to use the power the Supreme Court just acknowledged to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a third-party country. As you may recall, two major legal issues were being argued about Abrego Garcia's deportation to El Salvador; the one, of course, was the "due process" argument, and the other was the fact that while he had been ordered deported, he was not to be deported to El Salvador due to his claimed fear for his life.
Bill Moyers, the onetime White House Press Secretary and newspaper publisher who spent four decades as a respected broadcast journalist and documentarian for PBS and CBS, died Thursday. He was 91.
Moyers died at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York after a long illness, his son William told the Associated Press.
Moyers hosted, wrote for and/or produced PBS programs like Bill Moyers’ Journal, Moyers & Company, A World of Ideas, Frontline, Now With Bill Moyers, Creativity With Bill Moyers and A Walk Through the 20th Century in stretches from 1971 through 2010

Jackson’s dissent veered into unhinged territory
The majority of the Supreme Court is just as fed up with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as we are.
A slate of Supreme Court opinions were released today, including Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic. The court sided with Medina in a 6-3 decision, ruling that states like South Carolina are not legally bound to funnel taxpayer dollars towards abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood
Dissenting, as per usual, was liberal justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, [snip]
Jackson’s dissent begins by invoking the Civil Rights Act of 1871 – legislation which expanded the federal government’s power to defend citizens’ constitutional rights against “white supremacist violence,” in Jackson’s words.

to Opt Their Kids Out of LGBTQ-Themed
Classroom Activities 24 replies
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday handed down its ruling in the parental rights case of Mahmoud v. Taylor. In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS decided that parents do have the right to opt their elementary school-aged (pre-K through 8th grade) children out of classroom instruction that may include materials on gender and sexuality. The three dissenters were Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito states that the parents involved were likely to succeed in their claim that the school system, by not allowing the opt-out on LGBTQ-themed classroom activities, was an unconstitutional burden on their religious liberties.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom sued Fox News on Friday, seeking damages of at least $787 million from the conservative network for allegedly defaming him in misleading comments about a phone call with President Donald Trump.
“No more lies,” Newsom wrote in a tweet that announced his lawsuit, which the Democrat filed in Superior Court in Delaware, where Fox News is incorporated.
The monetary damages Newsom is seeking almost exactly match what Fox Corp. Fox News, and other Fox cable networks agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems in April 2023 to settle a Delaware lawsuit alleging they defamed Dominion by falsely claiming its machines swayed the outcome of the
The Zohran Mamdani Revolution

They did it. They finally did it. Those maniacs. They blew it up.
As New Yorkers walk dazed through the streets of the world's greatest city, seeking perhaps the half-buried Statue of Liberty lying beneath the silent sands of adeserted beach in the Forbidden Zone, one thing has become clear: The young revolutionaries of the Democratic Party are ready to take control of their party's future. And there's hardly anyone left to stop them. On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Ugandan-born trust fund baby -- the scion of a Columbia University post-colonialism professor and an Oscar-nominated Hollywood director --
The Supreme Court decisively ended lower courts’ ability to block policies issued by the Trump administration using nationwide injunctions on Friday.
In a 6-3 ruling, the majority found that lower courts exceeded their authority by issuing a nationwide block on President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions.
“The injunctions before us today reflect a more recent development: district courts asserting the power to prohibit enforcement of a law or policy against anyone,”
June 27 really needs to be a national holiday wherein we collectively observe the bottomless depravity of the dying news media. We could call it something like “Biden Debate Day.”
The date is significant because it was the start of a 131-day journey that showed just how far the media were willing to go to steal an election. June 27 was the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, or as I like to recall it, “The day the media knew Biden had to go.”
Up until then — it was the one and only time voters got to directly compare Trump and Biden side by side in 2024 —

Democrats are uneasy about Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani’s recent victory in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, and nowhere was that discomfort more obvious than in House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ evasive response when an anchor pressed him about Mamdani’s ideology. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Joe Scarborough put Jeffries on the spot, asking him if Mamdani’s far-left views on economic issues and Israel were the kind of ideology Democrats should embrace in 2026. Instead of addressing the question, Jeffries pivoted hard, steering the conversation away from Mamdani entirely, and onto — you guessed it — Donald Trump.
Peter Orszag, a businessman and ex-Obama official, claimed Thursday that the Democratic Party was in peril of becoming an anti-capitalist and antisemitic party.
Orzag spoke with CNBC in the aftermath of Democratic New York Assemblyman Zohran Mandani winning the Democratic New York City mayoral primary election. Mandani was endorsed by the New York City Democratic Socialists of America.
“Let me step back and just say that I am saddened to say that I think the Democratic Party is becoming increasingly antisemitic and anti-capitalism,” Orszag said. “And the thing about it is turning … towards socialism and turning away from your moral principles through antisemitism never works."

The Justice Department on Friday fired at least three prosecutors involved in U.S. Capitol riot criminal cases, the latest moves by the Trump administration targeting attorneys connected to the massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Those dismissed include two attorneys who worked as supervisors overseeing the Jan. 6 prosecutions in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington as well as a line attorney who prosecuted cases stemming from the Capitol attack, the people said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.
A letter that was received by one of the prosecutors was signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Consider Ceaușescu

On Christmas Day in 1989, the people of Romania held a long-awaited ceremony that was more joyous than any Nativity had been in decades. They held a spontaneous trial of President Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena, found them guilty of capital crimes against the Romanian people, and sentenced them to death. There was no shortage of volunteers for the firing squad, and those lucky enough to be chosen didn’t wait for the order to fire: they riddled the Ceaușescu’s bodies with more than one hundred bullets.
