American Citizen Now Leads Violent Mexican Cartel As Court Reviews Birthright Policy

By Steven Richards | Just the News A California-born U.S. citizen whose mother is a Mexican national and is reportedly part of a drug and money laundering cartel herself, has now taken the helm of Mexico’s most dangerous cartel as the Supreme Court is set to consider a Trump administration challenge to the very birthright policy that granted him that citizenship.  Multiple reports indicate that the 41-year-old Juan Carlos Valencia González, a dual U.S. and Mexican citizen, took charge of the notorious "Jalisco New Generation" cartel (CJNG) in the aftermath of a Mexican special forces raid that took out the cartel’s former boss, El Mencho, last month. The raid was the most direct action Mexican authorities have taken against the cartels in coordination with the United S...

Why hatred for capitalism reveals more about you than the system

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Some people claim to hate capitalism. What they often hate is not the system itself, but their perceived place within it. They see business leaders as exploiters. They see profit as theft. They see success as evidence of injustice. This mindset reveals more about the individual than it does about capitalism. Capitalism is not a personality. It is a mechanism. It rewards value creation. It allocates resources based on demand. It exposes weaknesses. It amplifies strengths. If you believe capitalism is oppressive, you are making a specific claim. You are saying that voluntary exchange between individuals produces unfair outcomes. That claim deserves scrutiny. Start with a basic premise. In a free market, no one is forced to buy what you ...

Justices To Decide If States Can Count Ballots After Election Day

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist Does Election Day actually mean Election Day? That’s the key issue the U.S. Supreme Court is going to consider when it holds oral arguments in a pivotal elections case next week. Known as Watson v. RNC, the legal dispute centers around a challenge to a Mississippi law allowing election officials to accept mail-in ballots up to five business days after Election Day so long as they are postmarked on or before the day of the contest. The issue of accepting late-arriving ballots has become a prominent issue in elections in recent years, with more than a dozen states permitting such a practice. In the case before SCOTUS, the justices will decide whether these state statutes violate existing f...

US Citizenship Loophole Fuels Birth Tourism Surge From China In Pacific Territory

By Chadwick Moore | New York Post Pregnant Chinese women have turned a tropical paradise into a maternity ward — pumping out babies who automatically become US citizens daily. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a US territory northeast of Guam in the Pacific Ocean, has been flooded with so-called “birth tourists” since 2009 when then-president Barack Obama introduced a visa-waiver program for Chinese nationals. China-watchers estimate about 1,000 companies offer birth tourism to the Northern Mariana Islands, other US overseas territories and even the US mainland. They claim a gob-smacking 1.5 million American babies are being raised in China by Chinese parents who’ve participated in birth tourism. In a March 9 letter to three Trum...

Abortion Coverage Mandates in 13 Democrat-Led States Face Federal Civil Rights Review

By Gabrielle M. Etzel | Washington Examiner The Trump administration is launching civil rights investigations into the 13 Democrat-led states that require private health insurance plans to pay for abortions, arguing that state mandates for abortion insurance coverage violate religious and conscience rights protections. The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights sent 13 states letters late Wednesday evening, opening investigations into whether their requirements violate conscience protections under federal rules prohibiting state and local governments from discriminating against healthcare entities that refuse to facilitate abortions.  Paula Stannard, Director for HHS’ OCR, said in a press release that th...

Trump Relaxes Shipping Restrictions to Address Wartime Energy Strain

By Nick Givas | The Western Journal President Donald Trump is issuing a temporary waiver of the Jones Act for two months in an effort to lower oil prices amid America’s ongoing conflict with Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the move on Wednesday. “President Trump’s decision to issue a 60-day Jones Act waiver is just another step to mitigate the short-term disruptions to the oil market as the U.S. military continues meeting the objectives of Operation Epic Fury,” she wrote on the social media site X. Leavitt added, “This action will allow vital resources like oil, natural gas, fertilizer, and coal to flow freely to U.S. ports for sixty days, and the Administration remains committed to continuing to strengthen our critical supply chains...

Look what they’ve done to her BLM mess: A policy reversal hits a nerve

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, GregWalcher.com The New Seekers are best remembered for wanting to buy the world a Coke in their classic hit, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing." But a year earlier, they first hit the charts with another standard, "Look What They've Done to My Song," featuring the sad lyric, "It's the only thing that I can do half right, and it's turning out all wrong." That must be the lamentation of Tracy Stone-Manning, who ran the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under President Biden. I know because she is complaining so loudly about her successors in the current Administration. They are steadily unraveling the mess she left behind, and she is not happy. In an online editorial, she bitterly complains that the agency is in dire straits because of staffi...

Joe Kent Departure Follows Leak Allegations And Security Concerns During Tenure As Counterterrorism Director

By Jack Davis | The Western Journal The departure of Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, means one less leaker in Washington, according to multiple reports. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent wrote on X after splashing his resignation letter across social media. Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, was quick to celebrate. “Good riddance. Iran has murdered more than a thousand Americans. Their EFP land mines were the deadliest in Iraq. Anti-Semitism is an evil I detest, and we surely don’t want it in our government,” he wrote on ...

Strategic Gains Mount for the United States and Israel As Iran Missile And Proxy Networks Falter

By Muhanad Seloom | Al Jazeera Every aspect of Iran’s ability to project regional power is being successfully degraded. Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan. Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. US senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises. Commentators have warned of a long war. The chorus is loud and, in some respects, understandable. War is ugly, and this one has imposed real costs on millions of people across the Middle East, including the city I live in. But this narrative is wrong. Not because the costs are imaginary, but b...
