Fail: ‘Sick-Of-ICE, Sick-Of-Trump’ in San Antonio Fizzles — Less Than 80 People Attend

/0 Comments/in , /by

A much-touted protest of President Trump’s efforts to conduct mass deportation operations drew less than 75 attendees who gathered in front of the Federal Immigration Court Building on Tuesday. The crowd included members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) who organized the event in Texas’s second-largest city.

Despite having a population of nearly 1.5 million residents to draw from, Tuesday’s “Sick-of-ICE, Sick-of-Trump” protest began and ended in short order with little fanfare. Breitbart Texas observed the downtown San Antonio protest attended by a few people sporting the Palestinian Keffiyeh, several Christian ministers, and a small crowd that listened to speeches critical of the Trump administration’s efforts to arrest and deport illegal aliens.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, the protest was one of many planned for Tuesday in major cities across the United States. The events are listed on the well-organized website address SickofICE.org.

Drawing from the biblical story of Jericho, the group of about 70 protesters marched around the U.S. Immigration Court office in downtown San Antonio seven times. The group shouted anti-ICE chants to the beat of a marching drummer. An organizer announced to the crowd that the march was symbolic of the actions that caused the walls of Jericho to fall.

Liliana Padilla, a pastor for the United Methodist church, sang a hymn in Spanish as she stood in front of a memorial to the illegal aliens arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at the nearby immigration court. Padilla stood in front of the display at the foot of the PSL tent, draped in the Mexican flag.

Police in Michigan arrested a 12-year-old boy Friday after he allegedly stole multiple cars from a local business.

The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office announced Saturday the juvenile suspect allegedly robbed the business of three or four vehicles within the past month and “sold at least one of them for $30.”

“This young man is on a very bad path, attempting to live his own grand theft auto,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. “Hopefully intervention by the courts will send him on a better life path as well as stopping the constant theft from this business.”

Police reported the boy stole from a local business in Pontiac, the Oakland County seat of government. Oakland County is the second-most populous county in Michigan. . .

“Our deputies are to be commended for their excellent work in stopping a young man, only 12 years old, who was on a path of grand theft auto,” the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post. “This type of behavior typically does not end well. Thankfully, the business will not have to continue to suffer from this criminal behavior.” (Read more from “Police Arrest 12-Year-Old Boy For Allegedly Stealing Cars, Basically Selling Them For Pocket Change” HERE)

The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has agreed to apologize for allowing infamous transgender college swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on the women’s team, resolving Title IX violations.

In a press release on Tuesday, the Department of Education announced that the university had entered into a “Resolution Agreement to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX).”

The Department of Education explained that UPenn would “restore to female athletes all individual UPenn Division I swimming records, titles, or similar recognitions which were misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories.”

UPenn will also “send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer,” and “issue a public statement” to the university’s community explaining that it will “comply with Title IX” and will not be allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports.

“As a former UPenn swimmer who had to compete against and share a locker room with a male athlete, I am deeply grateful to the Trump Administration for refusing to back down on protecting women and girls and restoring our rightful accolades,” former UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlan said in a statement. “I am also pleased that my alma mater has finally agreed to take not only the lawful path, but the honorable one.” (Read more from “UPenn to Apologize for Allowing Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas to Compete on Women’s Team” HERE)

Report: Former DNC Insider Reveals ‘Puppet Masters’ Who Allegedly Ran Biden White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Democrat insider revealed who the “puppet masters” were who allegedly ran the Biden White House, and likened it to “elder abuse.”

Lindy Li, a former Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser and National Finance Committee member, told Fox News Digital that many in the White House actually ran the operations for the 46th president.

Li spoke as the House Oversight Committee started questioning former President Joe Biden’s Cabinet members about the alleged coverup of his mental decline.

“‘[Biden is] definitely complicit, but there were a lot of people behind him, like puppet masters. [Former first lady Jill Biden] very much knew what she was doing. What she did was absolutely elder abuse. There is no question in my mind,’ Li said,” Fox reported.

“They deny the cover-up, but I had a front-row seat watching it happen. People like Anthony Bernal. I saw him running the White House like he was in charge, like he was a king,” Li continued. “It’s just so amazing now to see him dodge a subpoena and completely dodge accountability. He can run, but he can’t hide. His name is going to go down in infamy forever.” (Read more from “Report: Former DNC Insider Reveals ‘Puppet Masters’ Who Allegedly Ran Biden White House” HERE)

Trump Nominates Prosecutor Who Arrested Sanctuary City Mayor After Migrant Detention Mayhem

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is aiming to retain a federal prosecutor who arrested a sanctuary city mayor and charged a Democrat lawmaker for an incident outside a migrant detention center.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba for Senate confirmation, according to the White House. The Trump administration previously tapped Habba, who had represented Trump in several civil cases in past years, as New Jersey’s top prosecutor in March on an interim basis.

“Alina will lead with the same diligence and conviction that has defined her career, and she will fight tirelessly to secure a Legal System that is both ‘Fair and Just’ for the wonderful people of New Jersey,” Trump posted on Truth Social in March when naming her as interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.

If confirmed, Habba would be able to continuously serve as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor. More recently, Habba’s office garnered national headlines following an altercation outside a New Jersey migrant detention center involving several Democrats.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested in May when he attempted to join three Democrat congressional representatives touring the Delaney Hall detention facility. Baraka tried to accompany New Jersey Democratic Reps. Robert Menendez, LaMonica McIver and Bonnie Watson Coleman on a tour of the detention center, but were denied entry.

Senate Narrowly Passes Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill

/0 Comments/in , , /by

After a marathon vote-a-rama that lasted more than 24 hours, where both Republicans and Democrats submitted amendments to the One Big Beautiful Bill, the Senate voted 51-50 to pass the megabill after Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) had announced a deal had been reached earlier on Tuesday. Vice President JD Vance was there to break the tie on the bill’s final passage and on amendments being voted on up until the last minute.

All Democrats voted against the bill, as did Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Susan Collins (R-ME). Tillis made headlines over the weekend not only for his opposition to advancing the bill on Saturday, but his Sunday announcement he would be retiring.

Trump had urged lawmakers early Tuesday morning to bring the measure across the finish line, as the OBBB “gives the largest Tax Cuts and Border Security ever, Jobs by the Millions, Military/Vets increases, and so much more,” while cautioning that failure to pass the bill would result in a “whopping 68% Tax increase, the largest in history!!!”

Trump’s message came after the White House spent Monday making a final push for its passage during a White House event, online, and in the media, emphasizing the bill is the only chance Republicans have to enact the president’s domestic agenda and spending priorities.

With a narrow majority in the upper chamber, Republicans could only afford to lose three GOP senators. With that opposition from Tillis and Paul, Thune turned his attention to Sen. Lisa Murkowski early Tuesday morning. She ultimately went along with most of her Republican colleagues to vote for the bill.

U.S. Senator Gets Schooled on Bible After Urging Christians to Oppose Trump Agenda

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Raphael Warnock was a preacher at an Atlanta church before he was elected to the United States Senate.

And he still faces controversies over the money, tens of thousands of dollars, he continues to take from the congregation each year, and the lavish, luxury home, owned by the church, that he occupies.

In fact, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust has asked the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to investigate what “appears” to be his violation of Senate ethics rules by accepting the “lavish” housing scheme and then refusing to report it on his financial disclosures.

Notwithstanding his own behavior, the senator now is insisting that Christians abide by his beliefs about the Bible.

He recently delivered a lengthy diatribe against Republicans, accusing them of being Robin Hood in reverse and taking from kids to give to the wealthy.

“We’re taking away health care from kids and then burdening them with the debt,” Warnock said. “We are engaged in Robin Hood in reverse, this body of stealing from the poor in order to give to the rich. This massive transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. This is socialism for the rich.” (Read more from “U.S. Senator Gets Schooled on Bible After Urging Christians to Oppose Trump Agenda” HERE)

For The First Time In Four Years, Americans Aren’t Paying More For Their July 4 Cookouts

/0 Comments/in , /by

For the last four years, Americans suffered through record-high inflation that threatened to derail backyard barbecues across the nation. That cost curse, however, is expected to change as year-over-year inflation rates under President Donald Trump hit lows unseen under President Joe Biden.

Prices, no doubt, are higher during Trump’s second term than they were during his first. Yet Independence Day party hosts and goers will get some reprieve this year compared to the Biden administration-induced inflation that plagued their grilling in years past.

According to the American Farm Bureau Federation’s latest report, a July 4 cookout including cheeseburgers, pork chops, chicken, potato salad, fruit, ice cream, and other picnic staples for 10 guests will cost roughly $70.92 in 2025.

While that total remains one of the highest prices ever recorded by AFBF, up significantly from the $52.80 recorded in 2019 before the Covid and Bidenflation price hikes, it is down 30 cents from the record high $71.22 bill calculated in 2024.

The fees for chicken breasts, pork chops, cheese, hamburger buns, and potato chips, specifically, are all down from 2024. (Read more from “For The First Time In Four Years, Americans Aren’t Paying More For Their July 4 Cookouts” HERE)

Conservationists, hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen celebrated Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s decision to withdraw his public land sales proposal from the “big beautiful” tax bill Saturday.

Lee, who had originally proposed an amendment to the bill that would have required two U.S. agencies holding public lands to sell between 0.5 and 0.75 percent of the land for housing development, withdrew his proposal Saturday.

Conservationists and outdoor lovers lauded his backtrack.

“Big win for conservation!” the Tennessee Wildlife Federation reacted in a Monday post on X.

“Thank you to everyone who called your Senators in support of our nation’s public lands,” the organization concluded. (Read more from “Hunters, Fishermen And Outdoors Experts Rejoice As Sen. Mike Lee Backs Off Plan To Sell Public Lands” HERE)

RFK Jr. Tells Tucker Carlson Fellow Cabinet Member Has Undergone ‘Incredible Transformation’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson during a Monday interview that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has significantly shifted his foreign policy stance.

Rubio had developed a reputation for being a foreign policy hawk, but as he grew closer to President Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle, his views evolved to become more aligned with Trump’s America First foreign policy agenda. Kennedy, on “The Tucker Carlson Show,” said he previously disapproved of Rubio because of his hawkishness, but he now believes the secretary of state has similar views to his own, including on Ukraine.

“Marco Rubio is the funniest guy in the cabinet. He says things that make people belly laugh at every cabinet meeting,” Kennedy said. “I never was very — let’s say — approving of Marco, because he was kind of a neocon war hawk. But now he’s had this incredible transformation.”

“I think he’s very aligned with me on most issues, on Ukraine, you know, and just the fact that we should not be the policeman of the world anymore, that we’ve got to, you know, we’ve got to withdraw from that,” he continued.
