Givas: Dem Governor Hobbs Pushes Arizona to Brink of Shutdown in Veto Frenzy

By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs continued to exercise her veto pen at record speed by tossing out two Republican-passed budgets on Wednesday, setting up a potential government shutdown. “Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed partisan, sham budgets passed by House Republicans after the majority caucus wasted days bringing the State to the brink of a government shutdown,” a statement on her office website read. “In her veto letters, she highlighted the shortfalls of their reckless and partisan budgets and called on the House Republicans to end the political games,” the statement added. “The vetoes come after Governor Hobbs repeatedly made it clear she would not sign the sham budgets that shortchange public safety, childcare, and the state...

Givas: Deportations Back On the Table as Trump Scores Major Court Victory

 By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a huge win Monday on immigration, ruling that his administration could continue deporting illegal aliens to countries other than their own. The high court stated that in addition to being able to deport them to other countries, illegal immigrants would no longer be granted a “chance to show the harms they could face” if they were kicked out of the United States, as Reuters reported. The vote was 6-3, with the conservative majority banding together against the court’s liberal bloc to reverse a lower court order. The ruling was short and unsigned, but the three liberal judges issued a joint dissent, led by Obama appointee Justice Sonia Sotomayor. ...

Schwarz: Clarence Thomas just reminded the experts who governs this country

By Michael Schwarz | Commentary, Western Journal Conservatives have learned the hard way that the phrase “experts agree” really means “shut up and obey your liberal overlords.” On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law, Senate Bill 1, banning transgender procedures for minors. And if that ruling did not prove satisfying enough, Justice Clarence Thomas, part of the 6-3 SCOTUS majority, wrote a concurring opinion in which he blasted the idea that voters and courts should defer to “so-called experts” and their alleged medical “consensus.” Plaintiffs had based their argument against SB1 partly on the opinion of “so-called experts.” “The Court rightly rejects efforts by the United States and the private plaintiffs to accord outsized credit to...

Progressive Pundits Push False Narrative After Tragedy

By Michael Schwarz | Commentary, The Western Journal Establishment elites love cheap labor. They always have. Thus, the establishment media routinely gaslights readers and viewers about illegal immigration, a prime source of cheap labor. Now and then, however, even the establishment media cannot help accidentally telling the truth. On Sunday, for instance, in the opening paragraph of a story meant to evoke pathos for the “victims” of last week’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on the Glenn Valley Foods meat packing plant in Omaha, Nebraska, which netted 76 illegal immigrants, NBC News inadvertently undermined the leftist establishment’s entire immigration narrative. “Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applicati...

Marines confront civilian in LA during DHS deployment—Northern Command backs authority

By Joe Saunders | Western Journal Marines on duty guarding a federal facility in Los Angeles on Friday briefly detained a man who later said he’d tried to go under a yellow boundary tape and was asked to halt, according to news reports. While the man apparently posed no threat and was later released, according to Reuters, the incident did prompt the arm of the Defense Department in charge of security for the continental United States to confirm the Marines were acting under appropriate legal authority in the first known detention related to their Los Angeles deployment. Active duty forces “may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances,” a spokesperson for U.S Northern Command told Reuters. A video of the incident from Reuters is below: https://twitter....

After Boulder firebombing, DHS revamps ICE tip line to stop future attacks

By Bryan Chai | The Western Journal After a horrific anti-Semitic attack last weekend, the Department of Homeland Security is “revamping” the way Americans can help prevent any future atrocities from happening again. On June 1, a peaceful pro-Israeli gathering calling for the continued release of hostages held by Hamas terrorists was violently attacked. A maniac wielding incendiary devices — the weapons have been described as both “flamethrower” and Molotov cocktail-like — attacked the group in Boulder, Colorado, injuring 12, two badly, in the process. Reports began circulating that the alleged perpetrator, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was an Egyptian national who had overstayed his visa, making this a matter of national security, on top of it being a seeming hate crime. Due ...

Chai: Big lies about the Big Beautiful Bill? Miller says facts say otherwise

By Bryan Chai | Commentary, The Western Journal They often say light is the best disinfectant, and whomever “they” are, they’re right. In a related note, it’s pretty clear that most Americans — this writer included — are in the complete dark about the “Big Beautiful Bill” that keeps making the headlines. If you were to consume your news exclusively from the establishment (my sincerest condolences if that’s the case), you would think the bill was some sort of hypothetical bogeyman, a looming Sword of Damocles over the U.S. economy. It’s all a “big risk,” if you want to take the liberal Washington Post at its word. Thankfully, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller — a longtime advisor to President Donald Trump — is shedding some light on it all, and i...

Illegal immigrant stole $400,000 in benefits and voted in U.S. elections, DOJ reports

By Jack Davis | The Western Journal A Colombian woman who masqueraded as an American citizen for more than 20 years has been indicted for identity theft. The woman received rental assistance, Social Security and SNAP benefits under a phony name, according to a Department of Justice news release, and also was able to vote. Through use of the fake identity, she obtained a REAL ID in Massachusetts as well as eight other state IDs. A court filing said the suspect obtained her first state ID – a learner’s permit – in 2004 by using a false identity. The filing indicated that officials who vetted her passport application in November 2024 were the first to catch on to the fraud that had been taking place. After being initially arrested and indicted in February, Lina M...

Retired military leaders to Congress: Chinese Communist Party threat against Taiwan ‘shrinking our options’

By Jack Davis | The Western Journal Protecting Taiwan against a Chinese invasion is an urgent mission that requires the United States to up its game in the Pacific, experts recently told Congress. “America’s ability to defeat a coercive attack conducted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against Taiwan continues to shrink,” retired Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery said in his testimony recently during a hearing of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. Addressing that requires urgency, said retired Army Gen. Charles Flynn, who until last year commanded U.S. Army forces in the Pacific, according to the Washington Times. “The threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan is no longer distant or theoretical,” he said. “The urgency to restore credible deterrence in the Indo...

CBS news CEO is out amid company’s legal battle with Trump

By Nicole Silverio  | Western Journal Wendy McMahon announced in a memo to staff Monday that she is stepping down from her role as president and CEO of CBS News and Stations. McMahon said the past few months have been a “challenging” time and that she and the company are in disagreements about the path going forward, according to a memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Her resignation follows an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump, who is suing the network and its program, “60 Minutes,” for allegedly editing an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris to benefit her ahead of the 2024 election.
