Under-the-Radar Supreme Court Case Could End California’s Delayed Election Counts for Good

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A pending case at the US Supreme Court could put an end to delayed ballot counts — like in the recent Los Angeles mayor’s race in California — that have caused voters to lose confidence in elections, according to Republicans.

The high court in March heard oral arguments in Watson v. Republican National Committee, a Mississippi case that may result in a ruling stopping the practice of counting mail-in ballots that arrive up to five days after an election date.

It’s one of at least 14 states, along with California, New York and Texas, as well as the District of Columbia, with laws that allow for late ballots so long as envelopes are postmarked by Election Day. Around 30 states have some sort of grace period for absentee ballots as well, letting military or US citizens abroad cast their votes.

That grace period for mail ballots, which the RNC has argued is unconstitutional, is one of the reasons that Los Angeles residents still don’t know, nearly a week after, whether candidates Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman will advance to a runoff contest in November against incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

“What’s happening in California is a Democrat failure on full display,” RNC Chairman Joe Gruters told The Post. “Nearly a week after the primary, it is completely unacceptable ballots are still being counted. That’s why the RNC is aggressively fighting in the Supreme Court to stop ballots received after Election Day from being counted. Americans deserve timely election results they can trust.” (Read more from “Under-the-Radar Supreme Court Case Could End California’s Delayed Election Counts for Good” HERE)

Skeletal Remains of Los Alamos ‘Missing Scientist’ Melissa Casias Could Indicate Suicide — or Murder: Sources

/0 Comments/in , /by

The skeletal remains of a missing Los Alamos lab worker, recently discovered in New Mexico, have only deepened the mystery surrounding her disappearance.

Melissa Casias, 53, walked out of her home near Taos on June 26, 2025, and remained missing until the grim discovery of her body by a hiker on May 28. Her case has been associated with the curious spate of 11 missing scientists across the US.

Casias’ body was discovered skeletonized, with her sunbaked remains propped against a tree alongside a handgun in Kit Carson National Forest.

New Mexico State Police told The Post her skull had been fractured, but a CT scan did not reveal any projectiles in the skull.

Investigators are awaiting further autopsy results to determine the manner of death, according to spokesperson Sgt. Ricardo Breceda.

The two most likely options are now suicide or murder. (Read more from “Skeletal Remains of Los Alamos ‘Missing Scientist’ Melissa Casias Could Indicate Suicide — or Murder: Sources” HERE)

Tom Homan Reveals Plans Set to Flood NYC with More ICE Agents ‘Than You’ve Ever Seen’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said Monday that plans have been laid out to flood the Big Apple with more ICE agents “than you’ve ever seen” after he repeatedly warned Gov. Kathy Hochul of an impending surge.

The top Trump administration official doubled down on his threats to flood New York City with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after Hochul and Albany Democrats passed sweeping sanctuary state laws last month curbing local cooperation with federal authorities.

“I made her a promise, you’re going to see more ICE agents than you’ve ever seen in New York City, and it’s coming,” Homan said during an interview with “Fox and Friends.”

“I just reviewed an operational plan. I’m not going to tell you exactly when it’s going to happen, but it’s coming,” he said on Fox News.

“I’m keeping my promise, we’re going to send more ICE agents to New York because you took away the efficiencies of safer arrests at county jails.” (Read more from “Tom Homan Reveals Plans Set to Flood NYC with More ICE Agents ‘Than You’ve Ever Seen’” HERE)

US Launches ‘Proportional’ Attacks Against Iran in Payback for ‘Unjustified’ Downing of Army Helicopter

/1 Comment/in , /by

US military on Tuesday unleashed strikes against Iran in retaliation for its “unjustified” downing of an American military helicopter and its two pilots, US Central Command said Tuesday.

President Trump ordered the “proportional” strikes after determining Iran on Monday shot down a US Apache attack helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz, leaving a two-month-old cease-fire hanging by a thread.

Trump, however, signaled he wasn’t seeking a return to full-scale war and downplayed the helicopter attack – telling the Wall Street Journal that it “wasn’t a big deal” and “the pilot is fine.”

The military response also was billed as measured, with CENTCOM describing the Tuesday evening mission as “self-defense strikes.”

“CENTCOM forces began launching self-defense strikes against Iran at 5 p.m. ET today at the Commander in Chief’s direction, in response to yesterday’s downing of a US Army Apache helicopter,” the combatant command said Tuesday.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A poll shows many Democrats would rather live in a different country and wave goodbye to the United States of America, the news coming as more in the party view socialism favorably.

The Elon University/YouGov America 250 National Survey that was performed between April 30 and May 4th asked respondents “Is there any other country on Earth you would rather live in than the United States today?” to which 55 percent of Democrats said yes.

Thirty-eight percent of Independents said yes while only 10 percent of Republicans gave the same answer:

The survey targeted U.S. adults with a sample size of 1,000 and a +/-3.95 % margin of error via an online, web-based survey.

A poll in 2025 found a majority of Democrat voters aligned with socialism over capitalism and supported far-left candidates, Breitbart News reported in September. (Read more from “Poll: 55 Percent of Democrats Would Rather Live Outside the United States” HERE)

Congressman Massie Wants A New Investigation Into Israel Over USS Liberty Attack 59 Years Ago

/4 Comments/in , , /by

In his speech on the House floor Monday marking the 59th anniversary of the USS Liberty incident, Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie called for a new investigation into what happened during the attack, as well as a resolution honoring the men onboard.

Massie’s speech referred to a June 8, 1967 incident involving the Liberty, a U.S. Navy ship sent to collect intelligence off the coast of the Sinai peninsula where it was bombed and strafed by two Israeli fighter jets and struck by three torpedoes. The Israeli government claimed it was a case of mistaken identity, and a subsequent U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry confirmed Israel’s statement.

Massie, the survivors of the tragedy, and others continue to contest this narrative, claiming that the Court of Inquiry was invalid. Notably, a number of sailors aboard the Liberty insist the attack was deliberate.

“This was an effort to kill everybody on board. There was no intention of taking prisoners,” Massie claimed.

Speaking on the House floor, Massie relayed a conversation he had just prior to entering the chamber with some of the survivors of the Liberty and how their recollection of the event was very different from the court findings. While the Israelis claimed they did not know they were bombing a U.S. ship, the survivors recalled that the American colors were flying high on a day with unlimited visibility.

Obama-Appointed Judge Strikes Down Trump’s $100,000 Fee for Foreign H-1B Workers

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama has struck down President Donald Trump’s one-time $100,000 fee for importing foreign H-1B visa workers to take American white-collar jobs.

On Monday, Judge Leo Sorokin of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts vacated the Trump administration’s plans to impose a $100,000 fee on foreign H-1B hires, arguing that doing so is essentially a tax that Congress did not authorize.

“… the Court finds that the Policy imposes a tax on H-1B petitions without the requisite delegation by Congress,” Sorokin wrote:

Accordingly, the Court VACATES the Policy materials implementing the Proclamation’s $100,000 payment requirement. In addition to vacatur, Plaintiffs seek a “judicial declaration that the Policy is unlawful in violation of the APA and the Constitution.” Defendants’ only objection to this requested relief is that “declaratory judgment alone would not redress Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries because . . . that judgment would not affect the Proclamation nor would it enjoin any future action.” But this concern is not applicable here, where the Court has also ordered vacatur of the challenged agency action. Therefore, the Court issues declaratory judgment.

The H-1B visa program allows American companies to import hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, primarily from India, to take white-collar American jobs every year. Research has repeatedly found that the program is often used as a huge labor savings scheme for Fortune 500 corporations.

Pima County Sheriff Issues Alert for Kidnapping Suspect 7 Miles from Nancy Guthrie’s Home

/0 Comments/in , /by

The sheriff’s department investigating the suspected abduction of Nancy Guthrie has issued an alert for another kidnapping suspect wanted just a few miles away from the 84-year-old’s Arizona home.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department put out a notice against Coral Michelle Smith, a 40-year-old career criminal wanted in a separate kidnapping case about seven miles from Guthrie’s home in the Catalina Foothills.

Smith, who has an extensive criminal history, was allegedly involved in a kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon case that occurred on May 29 at the intersection of River Road and La Cholla Boulevard, in Tucson.

Pima County officials called on the community to “be on the lookout” for the woman, but declined to release additional details about the incident.

Authorities did not indicate any connections between Smith and “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mom, who vanished from her home in the early hours of Feb. 1. (Read more from “Pima County Sheriff Issues Alert for Kidnapping Suspect 7 Miles from Nancy Guthrie’s Home” HERE)

Trump Scolds Netanyahu in Testy Phone Call: ‘You could be left alone against Iran very soon’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that restarting a full-fledged war with Tehran could risk losing US support.

“I told Bibi, ‘you better be very careful what you do, because you could be left alone against Iran very soon,’” Trump told Israel’s Channel 12 on Monday.

Trump’s harsh words came over a phone call with Netanyahu after a volley of missiles between Iran and Israel that marked the 100th day of the war.

Trump said Iran offered a cease-fire with Israel, provided the president could stop Netanyahu from continuing attacks.

He then dialed the prime minister, emphasizing he was close to a deal with Iran and that he wouldn’t let Israel ruin it by returning to war.

An administration official told The Post on Monday the White House did not believe Iran was intending to return to war with the strikes on Israel. (Read more from “Trump Scolds Netanyahu in Testy Phone Call: ‘You could be left alone against Iran very soon’” HERE)

A Trump-appointed federal judge in Idaho is facing criminal charges after a heated confrontation over parking which saw him snatch a man’s glasses from his face and stomp on them, according to reports.

Judge Ryan D. Nelson, who sits on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, is facing one misdemeanor count of battery and one of malicious injury to property for allegedly knocking another man’s glasses off his head and throwing them across the parking lot during the incident, The Idaho State Journal reported.

The confrontation occurred in early April when a driver pulled into a parking space and allegedly verbally criticized the judge’s parking twice, the unnamed man told the Idaho State Journal.

“That’s when [Nelson] went crazy,” the man told the newspaper. After the verbal spat, Nelson allegedly took the man’s glasses, threw them across the parking lot and stomped on them.

Nelson pleaded not guilty to both charges in May, according to a court docket. (Read more from “Trump-Appointed Federal Judge Criminally Charged after Confrontation over Parking Saw Him ‘Stomp’ on Man’s Glasses” HERE)
