Judge Orders Phoenix’s Largest Homeless Encampment to Be Permanently Cleared Out in 45 Days

A judge recently ordered the city of Phoenix, Arizona, to permanently clear out a homeless encampment known as “the Zone” by November 4.

On Wednesday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Scott Blaney issued a ruling on a lawsuit filed by Phoenix residents and business owners concerning the city’s largest homeless encampment. They claimed Phoenix “created, maintained, and/or failed to abate a public nuisance.”

According to the Goldwater Institute, more than 1,000 unhoused people reside in the Zone, sleeping in makeshift tents on the sidewalks. However, a count conducted just last week put the number closer to 500, according to KPNX.

Residents have reported seeing open-air drug use, public sex, defecation, and urination, the law firm stated. In addition, the area around the Zone has experienced an uptick in violent crimes, including shootings, stabbings, and rapes, the Goldwater Institute claimed.

Fetterman Wears Casual Shorts to Senate for Meeting With Zelensky

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., dressed down for an official meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Capitol, just days after the Senate dress code was altered.

Zelenskyy traveled to Washington, D.C., on Thursday to meet with President Biden and a bipartisan group of lawmakers, a trip that marks his second visit to the U.S.

While every other member of Congress appeared in a suit and tie to welcome Zelenskyy, Fetterman arrived in his usual casual attire — shorts, a short-sleeved shirt and tennis shoes.

Since getting sworn into office in January, Fetterman has been known for showing up to work in gym shorts and sweatshirts — an uncommon choice for most senators.

While Thursday marks only one of many occurrences where Fetterman appeared in casual clothing to the Senate building, it is one of his first appearances since Democrats changed the dress code standards for lawmakers.

Mother Waterboarded Her Baby, Put Him in Freezer to Test if Father ‘Gave a F*** At All’ About Child, Court Docs Say. Mom Just Got Her Sentence: 30 Days in Jail.

An Oregon mother who waterboarded her baby and put him in a freezer to test if the father “gave a f*** at all” about the child, court documents say, just got her sentence: 30 days in jail.

In addition to her jail time, 30-year-old Sharday McDonald also was sentenced Tuesday to three years of probation after being convicted of criminal mistreatment, tampering with a witness, and ID theft, KATU-TV reported. . .

Gresham police in October 2021 responded to a report of a mom putting her baby in a freezer at an apartment at 174th and Burnside, KATU reported, citing court documents.

Arriving officers heard through the door a woman yelling, “You don’t want him. Let me show you this little f***ing baby I don’t f***ing give a f*** about,” the station said.

When the woman — later identified as McDonald — answered the door, she was holding the baby in a blanket, KATU reported.

WATCH: Joe Biden Stumbles Into Flag, Snubs Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva’s Handshake

President Biden left the Brazilian president visibly frustrated after he wandered off the stage at the United Nations without shaking his hand, culminating in a gaffe-prone speech that began with the 80-year-old commander in chief nearly knocking over the Brazilian flag.

Mr. Biden walked into the 7-foot-tall Brazilian flag as he took the stage Thursday, nearly knocking it over. He then took a minute to steady the flag, which began to wobble.

After Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva joined him on stage to announce a partnership between his nation and the U.S. on workers’ rights, Mr. Biden fumbled with his headset, which he was using to hear a translated speech.

“Can you hear me, President Biden? This is a historic moment for Brazil and the U.S.,” Mr. Lula said.

When Mr. Biden did not respond, Mr. Lula asked again, “President Biden, can you hear me?” (Read more from “Joe Biden Stumbles Into Flag, Snubs Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva’s Handshake” HERE)

Biden Tells the Same Story, Almost Word for Word, Just Minutes After Telling It the First Time

President Joe Biden told a story at a Manhattan campaign event, appearing completely oblivious to the fact that — just moments earlier — he had told the exact same story, almost word for word.

The story was one Biden has told numerous times in the past — about the 2017 riot in Charlottesville and how it had ultimately proved to be the inspiration behind Biden’s 2020 presidential run.

The White House press pool report addressed the issue, stating, “After briefly touting his economic record, POTUS reflected on his decision to seek the presidency. He told the story about the events of Charlottesville in 2017 as the reason for his campaign. A few minutes later, he told the story again, nearly word for word.”

The New York Post elaborated on the event, hosted by real estate heiress and billionaire Amy Goldman Fowler, during which Biden apparently joked about being happily retired before the events of 2017 transpired.

“You remember those folks walking out of the fields literally carrying torches, with Nazi swastikas, holding them forward, singing the same vicious, antisemitic bile — the same exact bile — bile that was sung in — in Germany in the early ‘30s. And a young woman was killed. A young woman was killed,” Biden began, before pivoting to former President Donald Trump and the oft-repeated lie that Trump had called Neo-Nazis and white supremacists “very fine people.” (Read more from “Biden Tells the Same Story, Almost Word for Word, Just Minutes After Telling It the First Time” HERE)

Garland Accidentally Admitted Biden DOJ Thwarted Weiss’s Hunter Investigation

U.S. Attorney, now Special Counsel, David Weiss did not have full charging authority during the bulk of his federal investigation into Hunter Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland slyly admitted in his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

Garland’s confession contradicts his previous under-oath insistence that Weiss possessed all of the authority he needed to properly charge President Joe Biden’s youngest son with various tax and gun crimes, some of which extended to other jurisdictions.

“You said [Weiss] had complete authority but he’d already been turned down. He wanted to bring an action in the District of Columbia and the U.S. attorney there said ‘no, you can’t.’ And then you go tell the United States Senate under oath that he has complete authority,” Chairman Jim Jordan explained during the hearing.

“No one had the authority to turn him down,” Garland claimed. One second later, Garland divulged that those U.S. attorneys in fact “could refuse to partner with him.”

Lawsuit: Democrats’ No-Excuse Absentee Voting Law Violates New York Constitution

New York’s new no-excuse absentee voting law violates its state constitution, a new lawsuit filed by a coalition of Republican groups and politicians alleges.

Filed on Wednesday by the Republican National Committee and other Republican-affiliated groups, the suit contends that a law signed by Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul “allow[ing] any registered voter in the state to cast an early ballot by mail” breaches the New York Constitution. Under New York’s top legal document, absentee voting is strictly reserved for qualified voters who may be “absent from the county of their residence” or “unable to appear personally at the polling place because of illness or physical disability.”

The RNC alleges that New York’s new voting law ignores this provision by permitting “qualified voters to vote by mail rather than in person, even if they do not satisfy either of the two limited exceptions set forth” in the state constitution.

“The Mail-Voting Law was enacted by the Legislature in open and knowing defiance of Article II, § 2, ignoring and subverting the will of the People whom the Legislature is supposed to represent,” the lawsuit reads. The suit’s plaintiffs — who were brought together with the assistance of Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) — include Republican Reps. Elise Stefanik and Claudia Tenney, among others.

Guess What Iran Did Right After Biden Gave Them $6 Billion

Last week President Joe Biden announced the unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian regime assets and the release of five Iranian prisoners in exchange for 5 five American hostages. White House officials claim the new infusion of cash is designated for humanitarian purposes and rejecting the classification the deal was a ransom payment.

The move has been widely criticized as an incentive for the Iranian regime, and other adversarial governments, to kidnap Americans. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill and former Trump admimitration officials warned the cash will only fuel bad behavior and terrorist attacks.

During remarks at the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi proved Biden’s critics correct and threatened to assassinate American officials. (Read more from “Guess What Iran Did Right After Biden Gave Them $6 Billion” HERE)

Ignorant, Pathetic Merrick Garland Wilts on the Hot Seat Before Congress; The Biggest Takeaways From Garland’s Testimony About the Hunter Biden Case

By New York Post. You would think that an attorney general who has presided over the embarrassing debacle of the Hunter Biden investigation would express contrition, or maybe a little anger at the underlings who have shamed him, when he is hauled before a congressional committee to explain his failures. . .

The nation’s chief law enforcement officer has no special insight into the malfeasance unfolding under his nose.

He is just an oblivious bystander, unperturbed by the tyrannical turn the DOJ has taken under his leadership, persecuting his boss’ political enemies and coddling the crooked president’s crooked relatives.

Even though Garland used to be a judge, he makes no judgments at all.

He professes to have no view about US Attorney David Weiss’ farcical five-year “investigation” of the president’s 53-year-old son, Hunter. (Read more from “Ignorant, Pathetic Merrick Garland Wilts on the Hot Seat Before Congress” HERE)

The Biggest Takeaways From Merrick Garland’s Testimony About the Hunter Biden Case

By Daily Caller. Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and responded to numerous questions surrounding the ongoing Hunter Biden case. . .

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan pressed Garland on his previous testimony to Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley that Weiss had complete authority. Jordan emphasized Graves’ decision not to “partner” with Weiss on bringing charges against Hunter Biden.

“I’m going to say again that no one had the authority to turn him down, they could refuse to partner with him,” Garland testified in response to Jordan. . .

Republican Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson questioned Garland on whether his office requested an investigation into the whistleblower testimony.

“There are well-known processes for how whistleblowers make their claims. I am a strong proponent of whistleblowers and a strong defender. We have an inspector general, we have the office of professional responsibility. that is the way in which complaints from whistleblowers should be, and are, appropriately handled,” Garland said.
