/0 Comments/in , /by

Adults in America on both sides of the political aisle and across various age ranges largely agree that there should be age limits blocking older people from occupying elected office.

A recently conducted CBS News/YouGov survey of adults in the U.S. found that a whopping 73% thought there should be age limits, while 27% did not.

Support for age limits is shared by people across the political spectrum, with 71% of Democrats, 75% of independents, and 75% of Republicans favoring the concept.

Similarly, the sentiment spans age groups, with 74% of those 65+ supporting a maximum age constraint, as well as 75% of people ages 45-64, 75% of those 30-44, and 68% of people 18-29.

Among the individuals who favored the idea of an age limit, 40% thought that 70 should be the maximum age limit, while 26% thought it should be 60-years-old, and 18% thought it should be 80.

DC Mayor Declares Public Emergency Over Thousands of Bussed Migrants

/0 Comments/in , /by

Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser declared the busing of migrants to the nation’s capital a public emergency Thursday as over 9,000 asylum-seekers have arrived in the district since April.

The declaration authorizes Bowser to establish an Office of Migrant Services, which will provide support and services to migrants being sent to Washington DC from Texas and Arizona.

The district will initially allocate $10 million for the creation of the new office and will seek reimbursement from the federal government, according to the announcement.

“This is what we know. The crisis at the border is not lessening. It’s getting worse,” Bowser said at a press conference, adding that she expects “hundreds of more buses” to arrive in the fall.

According to the mayor’s office, about 9,400 migrants have arrived in DC since April, when Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott first began sending busloads of illegal migrants in an attempt to coerce Democratic leaders and the Biden administration to tighten border control. Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey began following Abbott’s lead shortly thereafter. (Read more from “DC Mayor Declares Public Emergency Over Thousands of Bussed Migrants” HERE)

Trump’s Truth Social Merger Deal on Life-Support as Big-Cash Partner Delays Vote

/0 Comments/in , /by

Truth Social’s hopes for a much-needed cash-infusion suffered a setback Thursday after the founders of a blank-check company were again forced to delay a vote on extending a merger agreement with Donald Trump’s site.

The founders of Digital World, a special purpose acquisitions company, instead ponied up an additional $3 million to prevent the company from dissolving for three months. The new vote is slated for Oct. 10.

The SPAC needs 65% of shareholders to agree to extend the deal by a year with the former president’s right-leaning social media site. The two agreed to merge last October, a month after Digital World launched its IPO.

However, the deal has been in limbo after the Securities and Exchange Commission launched a probe late last year into whether Digital World’s founders possibly had advance knowledge of what it was buying before listing its shares — a violation of securities laws.

Digital World CEO Patrick Orlando raised the $3 million from outside investors in exchange for options in the company that would come good if the merger with Truth Social goes through, sources said.

Trump’s Fundraising Arm Under Federal Investigation: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal grand jury investigating events leading up to Jan. 6 is probing former President Donald Trump’s Save America PAC, according to multiple reports.

The grand jury issued subpoenas intended to probe the PAC’s formation history, fundraising, money reception and spending record, ABC News reported. Around six Trump White House and 2020 campaign aides including Beau Harrison and William S. Russell, who have both worked for the former president since he left office, were subpoenaed this week, familiar sources told The New York Times.

Save American PAC was started not long after the 2020 presidential election. Records indicated the PAC’s cash funds stood at slightly less than $100 million at July’s end, ABC News said.

At least one subpoena was marked by the name of fraud-focused D.C. federal prosecutor’s name, according to NYT. Moreover, one other subpoena purportedly looked for correspondences with Pennsylvania lawyer Bruce Marks, who was involved in work to challenge election results.

DeSantis to Send Illegal Aliens Who Arrive in Florida to Delaware

/0 Comments/in , /by

The crisis at the border is getting worse day by day, and yet, the Biden administration continues to turn a blind eye, pretending that the chaos they created is not a problem.

In response, Republican governors are taking it upon themselves to send illegal migrants who wander into their state to Democrat cities so they can see firsthand just how much of a problem it is.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is a part of this movement to bring awareness to the crisis at the southern border.

He is vowing to “reroute” illegal migrants who arrive in Florida to President Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware.

“That’s why the governor has worked with the legislature, to secure funding to make sure…that people that are coming illegally…that they don’t stay here with their arms crossed, thinking about what they will be able to do. We are going to send that person, frankly, to Delaware, the president’s home state,” Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez said.

Miami School Board Rejects Recognizing ‘LGBTQ History Month’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Miami-Dade School Board overwhelmingly voted to reject recognizing October as “LGBTQ History Month.”

After listening to three hours of heated debate, the board voted 8-1 Wednesday evening to strike down the measure that would also have included teaching 12th graders about Supreme Court cases Obergefell v. Hodges (inventing the constitutional right to gay marriage) and Bostock v. Clayton County (adding a “sexual orientation” protection to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964).

Last year, the board voted 7-1 in favor of defining October as “LGBTQ History Month,” something that did not include teaching about Obergefell or Bostock.

The lone vote in favor was school board member Lucia Baez Geller, who proffered the measure.

“There is an election year and the anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric is a tool used by some to spread misinformation,” she said, according to the Miami Herald. “This is just plain disinformation.” (Read more from “Miami School Board Rejects Recognizing ‘LGBTQ History Month’” HERE)

Teachers Union Spied on Parents Who Wanted Schools to Reopen During COVID: Emails

/2 Comments/in , /by

A California teachers union is being accused of spying on parents after emails reveal the union was conducting opposition research on parent groups fighting for schools to reopen during the height of the COVID pandemic.

The California Teachers Association (CTA) employed a researcher who emailed a parent arm of the local union in April 2021, hoping to dig up information on the motives of San Diego County parents who had successfully sued the state to reopen schools a month earlier.

According to emails obtained through a public records request, the union was seeking to uncover “some of the ideological leaning of groups that are funding the reopen lawsuits.”

The researcher, Ann Swinburn, appeared to at least speculate that the parent groups suing for California schools to reopen were funded by right-wing political groups and big money interests, according to archived tweets she shared.

Court: State Cannot Compel Christian Doctors to Participate in Assisted Suicide

/0 Comments/in , /by

Christian doctors and conscientious objectors in California secured yet another victory for religious freedom when a district court ruled that the state cannot compel medical professionals to participate in assisted suicide against their moral and religious beliefs.

On Tuesday, the district court in the Central District of California ruled that the state law legalizing physician-assisted suicide unlawfully compelled Christian doctors to participate in the assisted suicide process. As written, California Senate Bill 380, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in October 2021, forces Christian doctors to “document the date of the individual’s request [for euthanasia] and the provider’s notice of their objection, and transfer their relevant medical record upon request.” The court determined that filling out the required documentation constituted “a violation of a constitutional right” which forces “non-participating providers” to participate in the process despite their religious objections.

Alliance Defending Freedom — which describes itself as “the world’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of life, parental rights, and God’s design for marriage and family” and which provided legal counsel for the plaintiffs — is proud of this legal victory.

“Our clients seek to live out their faith in their medical practice, and that includes valuing every human life entrusted to their care. Participating in physician-assisted suicide very clearly would violate their consciences,” said Kevin Theriot, senior counsel for ADF who argued on behalf of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations and one Christian doctor who objected to the law.
