U.S. Navy Commander Now Investigated for Exposing ‘Unconstitutional and Illegal Actions by Military Leadership’ during Covid-Shot Mandates

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the U.S. military’s most high-profile and respected whistleblowers, active-duty Navy Commander Robert A. Green, Jr., says his chain of command has informed him that he is, as of July 8, “under investigation for publicly calling out the unconstitutional and illegal actions by military leadership during the COVID-19 mandates.” He made the announcement in an X post the following day:

“For 4 years I have been using the same language and the same demand for accountability that I continue to use on this platform,” posted Green.

“My leadership does not like that I have used the words ‘domestic enemies of the Constitution’ to describe many of them for their actions during the mandates. But where were they when thousands of us notified them about the laws they were breaking?” He added: “There is a clear line drawn between service members who will defend the Constitution, and Admirals & Generals who violate constitutional rights with impunity.”

Former service members are reacting strongly, clearly disturbed by the news. WorldNetDaily spoke to one such individual, Dr. Chase Spears, a retired U.S. Army public affairs officer.  When Green published his book, “Defending the Constitution behind Enemy Lines,” in July 2023, Spears quickly took notice. Having been a writer himself while serving in the Army and knowing the challenges that come with a hostile chain of command, he admired Green’s “direct approach.”

Key Senator: Trump’s DOJ, FBI Slow-Walking Assassination Attempt Investigations

/0 Comments/in , /by

One year after a gunman came within a fraction of an inch of assassinating the 45th president of the United States, the American public remains in the dark on one of the darkest chapters in U.S. history. The senator leading the investigation into the bizarre sequence of events surrounding the murder plot in Butler, Penn., said his committee is “not an inch closer” to knowing why killer and would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks did what he did.

“We had earlier reports about the geolocation of his cellphone, bopping all over Washington, D.C. We have not gotten any more information. Again, it’s incredibly frustrating,” Sen. Ron Johnson told me Friday in an interview on the Dan O’Donnell Show on NewsTalk 1130 WISN in Milwaukee.

The Wisconsin Republican, who leads the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, issued a subpoena on Friday to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel for records relating to the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt of then-GOP presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump. Johnson calls it a “friendly, not an adversarial subpoena,” but it’s clear, the FBI has not been forthcoming with the subcommittee’s many requests for information.

Trump’s Federal Bureau of Investigation, it seems, has been no better than Biden’s FBI, in cooperating with congressional investigators.

“Things just slowed down after our initial report. We were not getting access to [U.S.] Secret Service personnel,” Johnson said. “When President Trump won, I think my assumption was that his FBI, his Department of Justice, would certainly hop on this, investigate it, and produce the result. That hasn’t happened.” (Read more from “Key Senator: Trump’s DOJ, FBI Slow-Walking Assassination Attempt Investigations” HERE)

Trump’s ICE Detains 1,355 in ‘Sanctuary State’ Colorado

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has quadrupled the arrests of migrants in sanctuary state Colorado, data shows.

The Trump administration has focused on several blue states to fulfill the president’s campaign promise of a crackdown on illegal immigration, and in Colorado that has amounted to a 300 percent increase in ICE apprehensions.

Federal data shows that in the latest period ending on June 10, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested 1,355 people. That compares to the 342 who were picked up during the final year of the Biden administration. That is a 300 percent rise. The arrest rate has averaged about nine per day, according to the Denver Post.

Those taken into custody come from Mexico and Central and South America, as well as foreign countries including Afghanistan.

ICE is also ramping up arrests in other sanctuary states. (Read more from “Trump’s ICE Detains 1,355 in ‘Sanctuary State’ Colorado” HERE)

‘I’d Be Careful What You Read’: 7 Times Trump Officials Turned Tables on Dem Lawmakers Trying to Corner Them

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Members of President Donald Trump’s administration have pushed back at Democrats’ attempts to ask them harsh questions during hearings.

While Democrat lawmakers have attempted to stump Trump’s cabinet members, they have repeatedly turned tables on their preferred narratives by providing facts that are often not reported on by Democrats or the corporate media. Members of the administration, including Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, gave congressional members reality checks on issues ranging from the riots in Los Angeles, California, or the deportation of alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

During a House Appropriations Committee hearing on June 10, Democrat Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum criticized Trump’s “premature and escalatory” decision to deploy the National Guard and U.S. Marines in light of the Los Angeles, California, riots that broke out over Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) arrests. The congresswoman attempted to contrast Trump’s handling to Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s response to the 2020 riots; Hegseth reminded her of the chaos that took place in Minnesota under Walz’s leadership at the time.

“Well congresswoman, thank you for the question. You are right, we are both originally from Minnesota and that’s why I recall 2020 quite well, when Governor Walz abandoned a police precinct and allowed it to be burned to the ground,” Hegseth said. “And [he] also allowed five days of chaos to occur inside the streets of Minneapolis. The police precinct, ma’am, was abandoned and burned to the ground and because of that, the National Guard, was eventually, far too late, mobilized.”

Elon Musk Raises Concerns After Sporting Black Eye at White House Farewell — Here’s What He Says Happened

/1 Comment/in , /by

Billionaire Elon Musk stunned the White House press corps Friday by sporting a black eye to an Oval Office event to mark the end of his 130 days in the Trump administration.

“I’ve got a little shiner here,” the 53-year-old said after President Trump answered a question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy about “the first lady of France slapping her husband, Emmanuel Macron.”

“I wasn’t anywhere near France,” Musk added. “I was just horsing around with Little X, and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face,’ and he did.”

“Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face … ” he began before trailing off.

The mark was visible in pictures posted Thursday from a separate presentation that the now-former special government employee delivered about his company SpaceX’s plans to land on Mars.

“What do you think would be easier, colonizing Mars or making the government efficient?” a reporter asked. (Read more from “Elon Musk Raises Concerns After Sporting Black Eye at White House Farewell — Here’s What He Says Happened” HERE)

New Student Visa Interviews on Hold as Trump’s Team Considers Broader Social Media Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is weighing requiring all foreign students applying to study in the United States to undergo social media vetting — a significant expansion of previous such efforts, according to a cable obtained by POLITICO.

In preparation for such required vetting, the administration is ordering U.S. Embassies and consular sections to pause scheduling new interviews for such student visa applicants, according to the cable, dated Tuesday and signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

If the administration carries out the plan, it could severely slow down student visa processing. It also could hurt many universities who rely heavily on foreign students to boost their financial coffers.

“Effective immediately, in preparation for an expansion of required social media screening and vetting, consular sections should not add any additional student or exchange visitor (F, M, and J) visa appointment capacity until further guidance is issued septel, which we anticipate in the coming days,” the cable states. (“Septel” is State Department shorthand for “separate telegram.”) (Read more from “New Student Visa Interviews on Hold as Trump’s Team Considers Broader Social Media Investigation” HERE)

Federal Investigation Uncovers Disturbing Truth at Columbia University

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Trump administration investigation found that Columbia University violated civil rights law by allowing pro-Hamas agitators to target Jewish students.

The investigation’s findings come amid a wave of leftist protests at college campuses across the country against Israel’s war against Hamas. The conflict ignited antisemitic elements in various parts of the country — particularly in academia. In many instances, pro-Hamas activists have threatened and physically assaulted Jewish students.

In Columbia’s case, the school has come under fire for refusing to take action to protect Jewish students. The investigation accused it of “acting with deliberate indifference towards student-on-student harassment of Jewish students.”

From Axios:

Details: The investigation found that Columbia violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which protects against discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin, per a Thursday statement from the Department of Health and Human Services’ civil-rights office.

Among the findings were that Columbia allegedly failed to “investigate or punish vandalism in its classrooms, which include the repeated drawing of swastikas and other universally recognized hate images.”

No fresh action against Columbia was announced following the investigation findings.

What they’re saying: “The findings carefully document the hostile environment Jewish students at Columbia University have had to endure for over 19 months, disrupting their education, safety, and well-being,” said Anthony Archeval, Acting Director of the Office for Civil Rights at HHS, in a statement.

“We encourage Columbia University to work with us to come to an agreement that reflects meaningful changes that will truly protect Jewish students.”

Judge Temporarily Halts Trump Block on Foreign Students at Harvard

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge temporarily suspended Friday the Trump administration’s move to block Harvard from enrolling and hosting foreign students after the prestigious university sued, calling the action unconstitutional.

On Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll foreign nationals, throwing the future of thousands of students and the lucrative income stream they provide into doubt.

But Harvard sued, and Massachusetts district judge Allison Burroughs ordered that “The Trump administration is hereby enjoined from implementing… the revocation of Plaintiff’s SEVP (Student and Exchange Visitor Program) certification.”

There will be an injunction hearing on May 29, a court filing showed. (Read more from “Judge Temporarily Halts Trump Block on Foreign Students at Harvard” HERE)

SCOTUS Punts on Alien Enemies Act, Says Gangsters Deserve Time to Hire Lawyers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must provide alleged Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members with more notice, prior to deporting them under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act (AEA).

In a 7-2 decision on Friday, the Supreme Court found that Venezuelan migrants facing deportation under the AEA had not received enough notice regarding their deportation, while also not weighing in on whether or not the Trump administration was able to deport suspect illegal alien gang members, according to CNBC.

Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

“Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster,” the majority justices wrote in the ruling.

Justice Alito, whom Justice Thomas joined, said the court has no role in setting rules for the AEA implementation. (Read more from “SCOTUS Punts on Alien Enemies Act, Says Gangsters Deserve Time to Hire Lawyers” HERE)

DOJ Investigation Into Anti-Catholic Law Is Latest In Series Of Actions Defending Religious Liberty

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has stepped up its defense of religious liberty under the Trump administration.

In the past several months, the DOJ has filed statements of interest in land use cases for churches, helped launch a task force to “eliminate” anti-Christian bias and opened an investigation into an “anti-Catholic” law in Washington.

The DOJ opened an investigation Monday into a Washington law that forces Catholic priests to disclose information received in the confessional related to child abuse or neglect. The law, signed by Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson on Friday, explicitly excludes “members of the clergy” from an exemption for reporting information obtained as a result of “a privileged communication.”

Bishop Thomas Daly of the Spokane Diocese said priests would remain “committed to keeping the seal of confession – even to the point of going to jail” after the law was signed.

“Washington’s new law forces priests to choose between violating their faith or breaking the law,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon wrote Monday on X. “That’s unconstitutional.” (Read more from “DOJ Investigation Into Anti-Catholic Law Is Latest In Series Of Actions Defending Religious Liberty” HERE)
