Sen. Schmitt: Jill Biden was likely running the country while Joe struggled behind the scenes

By Asher Notheis | Washington Examiner Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) speculated that former first lady Jill Biden was actually leading the country while her husband was “incapacitated,” comparing the alleged situation to what happened during President Woodrow Wilson’s administration. Congressional Republicans are investigating the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, of which Schmitt said the voting public “deserve to know” who was leading the country during the Biden presidency. He explained that the president is “the one person that’s actually elected by the whole country,” but that Biden’s inability to serve the public was “on full display,” with whistleblowers even saying the former president could not find the Oval Office’s ba...

When Wolf Management Becomes a Weapon Against the West

By: Caroline Weiss | KPAX MISSOULA — The future of northern Rocky Mountain wolf protections came before a federal court in Missoula on Wednesday. The hearing was the latest in a long battle over Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves. Lawyers for the federal government and conservation groups squared off in front of U.S. District Court Judge Donald W. Molloy, presenting arguments about the merit of a petition denied by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) over federal protections for regional gray wolves. Gray wolves are currently protected under the Endangered Species Act in the Lower 48, except in the Northern Rockies region. Wolves in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, eastern Washington, eastern Oregon and northern Utah do not receive federal protections. Conserv...

Assaults Surge 500%: ICE Becomes Enemy #1 in Progressive Cities

By Catherine Maxwell | Daily Wire Assaults against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have increased 500%, according to Breitbart News. “Just this week, an ICE officer was dragged 50 yards by a car while arresting an illegal alien sex offender,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the outlet. “Every day the men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect and defend the lives of American citizens.” ICE successfully arrested the illegal alien, and the officer is expected to make a full recovery, the department said. The data comes after Antifa rioters attacked an ICE building in Portland, Oregon, last night, forcing agents to use rubber bullets and flash bangs to disperse the mob, The Daily Wire reported. Anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, Californ...

No Cash, No Confidence–Dems May Borrow Just to Stay Afloat

By Kendall White, Ryan King and Steven Nelson | New York Post Democrats’ main fundraising committee is losing big donors and so cash-strapped that its officials have discussed borrowing money just to keep the lights on, with one source spilling to The Post that if things don’t turn around before the 2026 midterms, the party is “f–ked.” “We are six months in and we’re drowning,” a source close to the Democratic National Committee told The Post about the current rate of contributions. “The RNC was so cash-heavy and hitting us day after day after day when Biden was president.” “We have no clear path or plan,” they added. “The midterms are going to come before we know it, and then we’re going to be really f–ked.” The DNC’s struggle to message against the Trump administration and ra...

Making America Safe Again: The vital role of immigration enforcement

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice Legal immigration has long shaped America’s identity, while unauthorized migration threatens public safety, stability, and fairness. Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s “border czar,” has led the development of a comprehensive deportation strategy to address these threats.  In Aurora, recent gang takeovers of apartment complexes underscore the urgency of enforcement, as local police confront transnational criminals targeting vulnerable communities.  The Value of Legal Immigration The legal immigration process provides people with an organized framework to enter the country through systems which guarantee both safety and successful assimilation.  According to the National Academies of Sciences, leg...

Andrews: Every illegal immigrant counted helps the left keep power

By Russ Andrews | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Illegal immigrants are already stealing elections. Just not in the way you might think. Since Biden took office, at least 14 million illegal immigrants have entered the country—on top of the estimated 20 million already living here prior to 2021. Most of us conservatives believe that promoting this foreign invasion of our border was designed to allow those 34 million illegals to eventually vote. In the last election, 56% of Latino immigrants voted Democrat, while 42% voted Republican. The average Congressional district holds approximately 760,000 “residents.’ Notice I wrote “residents,” not citizens. The Census is held every 10 years; the next census will be taken in 2030. EVERYBODY gets counted, whether they are here leg...

Ryun: Biden’s Border Collapse Was Designed to Transform America

By Ned Ryun | Real Clear Politics In light of the Los Angeles riots, certain corporate propagandists are pushing a sympathetic fiction that it was the Biden administration making mistakes and bungling its way through border and immigration policy that got us to this stage. They’re painting a picture of well-meaning Democrats caught in a political riptide – clumsy, unprepared, overwhelmed, a bit naïve but well-meaning. Of course, this narrative is nothing more than a Big Lie, an effort to use corporate media’s reach to rewrite history in real time in hopes that the American electorate will forget the facts and history. Because what we are witnessing in Los Angeles, and what we saw at our southern border for the last four years before Trump won reelection, is not a mistake. It was a de...

Rep. Gonzalez: States can’t solve immigration chaos without congressional action

Rep. Ryan Gonzalez | Commentary, Complete Colorado There’s no denying we have a broken immigration system. For decades, meaningful reform to solve this very complex issue has failed to take root. The people have wanted a fair and more streamlined immigration process that protects national security, but also is just and humane. Given the very heated climate we find ourselves in today, with riots and anarchy playing out in the streets, I have to speak up. I will not let the media speak for me. I won’t let anyone speak for me. As a Colorado state legislator and a son of immigrants, I know this issue on a personal level. My parents are immigrants. My mom is a resident and my dad is a citizen. They told me we all need a hand up sometimes but never handouts. I know many undocumented ...

6–3 SCOTUS ruling affirms states’ right to ban transgender care for minors

By Sam Dorman, Matthew Vadum | Epoch Times The court’s 6–3 ruling means other states that have passed or considered laws similar to Tennessee’s will likely survive legal challenges. The Supreme Court has issued a major decision upholding Tennessee’s ban on so-called gender-affirming care, such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, for minors. Its decision on June 18 will likely influence how states craft legislation and how other gender-related cases unfold in the legal system. In the case United States v. Skrmetti, a majority of the justices disagreed with the Biden administration’s argument that Tennessee’s law should undergo more rigorous scrutiny in the courts. Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts said in his majority opinion that courts should apply a less rigorous stand...

Devine: When Justice Becomes Vengeance: Inside the Biden DOJ’s War Room

By Miranda Devine | The New York Post Internal FBI emails reveal that rogue agents and prosecutors in the Biden DOJ were looking for ways to pile on new criminal charges against Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — this time over his involvement with the J6 prisoner choir, based on a single partisan news article. The 2023 emails obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and revealed exclusively to The Post are an example of the nitpicking malice of anti-Trump lawfare that tainted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, during Joe Biden’s presidency. “Can we do some work to nail down Trump’s role in this,” writes prosecutor JP Cooney to DOJ colleagues on March 8, 2023, in an email with the subject line “J6 Prisoner Choir/DJT” and an attached...
