Guest Blogger: Dystopian future for Lake Worth Beach

"So the museum plan is around half the cost of a new pool at the beach—the beach being something that overwhelmingly, the voters of Lake Worth wanted…..

But this museum and garage would be money wasted on something only those with extreme pretensions of being artistic would embrace, and it could never be aligned with what most voters believe is central to what Lake Worth should be.

This museum will be a ten-million-dollar hole in the downtown of Lake Worth;It will swallow up our free parking near the retailers we shop at and at the restaurants we used to enjoy visiting.

Without the Museum —— Lake worth had a Zen the way we could pull up to where we were going.

In this dystopian future that Betty Resch is serving up for our downtown —Lake Worth’s Downtown will be no more than a nasty dollar store version of downtown West Palm Beach.

I and many others will no longer go into downtown Lake Worth to dine—this is a solemn promise from me, and one I would ask thousands of other residents to make.

We will not eat at downtown Lake Worth restaurants, or shop at local merchants if this museum and parking garage is built.

I have avoided dining or shopping in downtown West Palm Beach because I WILL NOT PARK IN A PARKING GARAGE. This is a sickness of urban cesspools in most major cities.

We came to Lake Worth because it was not an Urban Cesspool, but here is Betty Resch, trying to make it a sewer. An artsy sewer.

 
There are still other places we can go, and this is a war that needs to be fought—it is a line in the sand that a misguided, if not corrupt mayor has forced us to draw in the sand…

While I may miss the downtown, I need to see this Museum plan bankrupt the city — and force a new governance to sweep away the trash that is causing this carnage. Let the retailers and restaurants chase her from the town and disparage her memory."

Asylum claims at the border

Supreme Court backs federal power to turn away asylum seekers at the border

The Supreme Court ruled 6, 3 on Thursday that the federal government may turn back asylum seekers at the U.S., Mexico border before they set foot on American soil, handing the Trump administration a major legal victory in its effort to control who enters the country and when.

Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the conservative majority, held that a migrant standing in Mexico has not legally "arrived in the United States" and therefore cannot demand asylum screening under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The decision reverses a Ninth Circuit ruling that had blocked the practice known as "metering", a policy that caps the number of daily asylum applications accepted at ports of entry. With that lower-court barrier now removed, the administration regains a tool it has called essential to managing the southern border.

The practical meaning is plain: border officials are not required to inspect or process asylum claims until a person physically crosses onto U.S. soil. For years, immigrant-rights groups argued the opposite, that presenting yourself to a U.S. officer at the border line was enough to trigger legal protections. Six justices disagreed.

Justice Alito grounded the majority opinion in common sense and statutory text. As the New York Post reported, Alito wrote:

"In ordinary speech, no one would say that a person arrives in a place, for example, a house, a city, or a country, before the person enters that place."

Pass the Save America Act

Message from Senator Rick Scott

Dear Fellow Floridian,

This week I invited President Trump to come speak at the weekly Steering luncheon I lead. It was an honor to have the President come speak to Senate republicans and get everyone on the same page on what our priorities should be for the rest of the year.

It is essential that we pass the Save America Act. Just this past month we saw what appears to be rampant voter fraud in California where they’re still counting ballots and homeless people claim they were paid off for their votes. Now, L.A. County is on the verge of allowing legals to vote openly. We can’t let this happen to our elections.

We need to ensure only American citizens vote in American elections and show ID to do it. This shouldn’t be controversial. But democrats don’t want voter ID or to clean up voter rolls. This is why I propose that the Senate put the Save America Act on the floor every day we’re in session and make Democrats show the Americans where they stand.

I also believe that to pass it, we will likely need to need to eliminate the filibuster. This legislative tool was meant to end debate in the chamber after everyone had said their piece. It was never meant to block bills forever at the will of the minority. We ought to have debate, then vote. That’s how the Senate is supposed to work, and it’s how we can pass SAVE America and secure our elections.

We need to stand up for voter integrity so Americans have faith in our elections. That’s why I’m not giving up. As your United States Senator, I will continue to fight to get the Save America Act passed and deliver President Trump’s agenda to the American people.

Sincerely,

Rick Scott

Hours after the Supreme Court cleared the Trump administration to strip Temporary Protected Status from more than 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stood before cameras and declared the ruling "not something we will ever accept."

He rallied alongside Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James, then issued a written City Hall statement and a video doubling down on the city's sanctuary policies, a direct challenge to the highest court in the land.

The New York Post reported that Mamdani framed the decision as "one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history" and pledged that his administration would "stand alongside immigrant New Yorkers today, tomorrow, and every day that follows."

Not guilty by reason of insanity

Judge Miguel Manuel de la O

Florida AG calls for impeachment after judge acquits mother who killed baby and blamed COVID

Precious Bland of Miami drowned her 15-month-old daughter Emii in a bathtub on Aug. 23, 2021, then proceeded to stab her husband — who attempted to save the infant — in the head and neck. When her stepdaughter tried to grab the drowned toddler, Bland slashed her, then proceeded to cut her own wrists.

According to a police report reviewed by CourtTV, Bland's husband told police that the killer had been ranting about how "COVID is going to kill us all," how Christ's return was imminent, and how she wanted to baptize her family in the bathtub.

'I’m sure that my family is very vigilant now.'

Bland, who subsequently spent four years in jail and additional time on house arrest while awaiting trial, was initially charged with murder, two counts of attempted second-degree murder, and two counts of aggravated child abuse.

On Tuesday, Miami-Dade Judge Miguel Manuel de la O of the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida found the 43-year-old mother — who admitted to killing her child — not guilty of aggravated manslaughter and first-degree attempted murder by reason of insanity.

Bible Studies to be taught in Texas public schools

New lessons, including Islam's violence, pending for public schools

Also select stories from the Bible to be included in lessons

New lesson standards, including those about Islam's violence, are pending for public school students in Texas.

Not all of the plans have been made final yet, but the state, in fact, is poised to require lessons on the basic beliefs of the Bible in public schools as well as lessons drawing connections "to Islam and violence," according to a report at the Post Millennial.

The changes are coming from the Texas Board of Education.

The report revealed, "The social studies proposal would mandate schools to teach Bible lessons and other literary works to students as young as six years old until they graduate from high school. This includes the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the eight Beatitudes, and the Christian story of Adam and Eve."

Further, "the board gave preliminary approval on Wednesday for middle and high school students to be taught lesson plans that draw connections between Islam and violence. Dallas Morning News reported that one approved provision would ask students to examine Islam through the Prophet Mohammed's brutal military campaigns," the report said.

Illegal attacked ICE agent

Mexican national arrested for allegedly attacking ICE agent during Orange County traffic stop

A Mexican national is facing a felony charge after he allegedly struck a federal agent and fled the scene during an Orange County traffic stop last week, prompting a multi-agency manhunt.

On Tuesday, June 16, the Florida Highway Patrol’s Criminal Alien Apprehension Team, working alongside U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, conducted a traffic stop near the intersection of Americana Boulevard and Pointe Vista Circle in Orange County, according to a media release from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).

During the traffic stop, multiple occupants reportedly exited the vehicle and fled on foot. An ICE agent pursued one of the fleeing subjects, identified as Elias Bautista, and attempted to detain him.

FLHSMV reported that Bautista, who authorities say entered the country illegally, actively resisted apprehension. A physical altercation ensued, and Bautista allegedly struck the ICE agent, causing the federal officer to sustain a “significant head injury.”

“ICE officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults, a 3,200% increase in vehicle attacks, and an 8,000% increase in death threats.

To make a long story short, they captured the SOB who fled again and who is charged with a felony.

FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner: “We remain focused on ensuring that those who endanger our officers or our communities are held fully accountable, especially those who should have never been in our country to begin with.”

Iran attacked cargo ship at Strait of Hormuz

Iran Struck Cargo Ship in Strait of Hormuz, US Official Says

The U.N. International Maritime Organization said it would temporarily pause its evacuation operation pending further clarity.

Iranian forces attacked a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on June 24, according to a U.S. official who spoke with The Epoch Times.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) previously reported that a vessel was struck by “an unknown projectile” while operating off the coast of Oman, but did not attribute the attack to any particular nation-state or actor.

The UKMTO, which is operated by the British Royal Navy, said the projectile damaged the bridge of the vessel but reported no injuries or environmental impact as a result of the attack.

When reached for comment about the attack, a U.S. official said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a drone at the vessel in question.

The U.N. International Maritime Organization paused its operation to escort ships through ‌the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday after Iranian forces attacked a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz a day before.

Domestic Terrorists sentenced

Antifa Leader Benjamin Song Gets 100 Years for Texas ICE Attack

Eight of the ten people convicted in the Texas attack on a federal immigration detention center learned their sentences on Tuesday, and the punishments were steep. Benjamin Song, identified by prosecutors as the group’s leader, received 100 years in prison.

The case stems from the July 4, 2025, attack on the Prairieland ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas. Prosecutors said the group came prepared, fired off fireworks, vandalized property, and shot at police officers who responded. One officer was struck in the neck with a bullet and survived.

According to the sentencing breakdown reported Tuesday, Maricela Rueda received 70 years. Autumn Hill received 50 years, along with Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Meagan Morris, and Elizabeth Soto. Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years.

The defendants were convicted earlier this year on a wide range of charges, including riot-related offenses, providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to use and carry an explosive, using and carrying an explosive, attempted murder of an officer, discharging a firearm during a violent crime, and charges tied to concealing documents. In March, a jury found nine Antifa members guilty after a 12-day trial in federal court.

The Supreme Court on Thursday said the Trump administration can move forward with its efforts to strip more than 356,000 Syrian and Haitian immigrants of temporary protections that have allowed them to live and work in the United States.

In a pair of cases that tested a key aspect of President Trump's plan to crack down on immigration, a divided Supreme Court ruled that the TPS law bars judicial review of claims brought under federal law.

The dispute arose out of the Department of Homeland Security's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for more than 6,000 Syrians and 350,000 Haitians. Lower court judges had postponed the terminations of the programs.

But the Supreme Court reversed those rulings, saying in a 6-3 decision that immigrants from Syria and Haiti are not entitled to judicial orders postponing the terminations of their temporary deportation protections. [Supreme Court]

Ro Khanna going after Elon

Twenty thousand Tesla workers in Fremont, California just hit the lottery.

Their congressman wants to drag the man responsible before Congress to answer for it.

Ro Khanna went on a podcast Saturday and called for Elon Musk to be "subpoenaed" and "investigated" for dismantling USAID – the agency that burned through billions of American tax dollars overseas for decades with almost zero accountability.

The Congressman From Tesla Town--Khanna represents California's 17th congressional district.

That's Fremont – where 20,000 people clock in every day at the Tesla factory that Musk built.

Two weeks ago, the SpaceX IPO created 4,400 new millionaires – not hedge fund managers or Washington lobbyists, but the engineers, tradespeople, and factory workers who spent years building rockets from the ground up.

Elon Musk indicates he's SUING Rep. Ro Khanna (D) after Khanna said Elon needs to answer for '4.5 million kids dying' because of DOGE cuts. ELON: "Time to sue this liar."

What "Team Algae" Actually Tells You About the Democrat Party

The Algae Saga

Washington, DC recorded 274 murders in 2023 – the deadliest year in the capital in decades. Trump fixed it, and now the Left is dressing up as algae to protest.

When leftist protesters showed up to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool last weekend in green algae costumes waving "Team Algae" signs, they thought they were scoring points. What they actually did was prove Karoline Leavitt's point for her.

"It's unbelievable to see these people, these deranged leftists in algae costumes with 'Team Algae' on their backs," Leavitt said in a Fox News interview Tuesday.

Then she asked the question nobody on the left can answer. "What does that even mean?"

She wasn't done.

"Only the Democrats could hate beautifying our nation's capital and making it a symbol of pride again."

2nd Reading on Public Parking Garage

Opinion: Lake Worth Residents Deserve Answers Before Another Dollar is Spent on WMODA

By: Former commissioner, Kimberly Stokes

As Lake Worth Beach approaches another critical vote on the Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts (WMODA) project, residents are being asked to trust that city leaders have everything under control. Yet after years of approvals, subsidies, and public investments, many basic questions remain unanswered.

On June 30, the City Commission is expected to approve the second reading of the project’s K Street Parking Garage, a vote that would move the development significantly closer to reality. Supporters portray this as the final piece of the puzzle. For many residents, however, this is precisely the moment when the public should demand greater transparency and accountability.

The city has already committed substantial public resources to support the project. In addition to millions in land donations, infrastructure incentives, utility improvements, and affordable housing subsidies, the city is now moving forward with a public parking garage that could cost between $10 and 14 million.

The garage is widely viewed as essential to making the WMODA development work, yet residents still have not been provided with a clear financial plan explaining the total cost, how ongoing operations and maintenance will be funded, who the garage is intended to serve, whether taxpayers will ultimately bear the cost for the garage, or if it will be paid parking, which the downtown merchants vehemently oppose.

Lake Worth Beach is not a wealthy city. Every dollar invested in one project is a dollar unavailable for roads, utilities, parks, public safety, or affordable housing. Before committing what could ultimately approach $20 million in public resources, residents deserve complete transparency.

The absurd rhythm of Trump-era hysteria: whatever happens, whatever the facts, whatever the context, the answer from the permanent political class is always Trump.

Gas prices? Trump. Ballroom plans? Trump. A duck in the Reflecting Pool? Somehow Trump. The joke works because the joke is real.

The Deep State-media complex has trained itself to treat every Trump action, pause, sneeze, tweet, ribbon-cutting, delay, or policy choice as an extinction-level threat.

Somewhere inside the noise, legitimate criticism may exist. But the scream machine buries it under theatrical panic. [Michael “Thunder” Phillips]

Alligator Alcatraz undergoing permanent closure

Florida Begins Dismantling 'Alligator Alcatraz'

Florida officials have begun dismantling the migrant detention facility known as "Alligator Alcatraz," marking the likely end of a controversial state-run detention operation in the Everglades that became a focal point of the state's immigration enforcement efforts.

Contractors hired to operate the facility were instructed to begin "full demobilization" of the site, according to reports from CBS News Miami and other outlets.

Florida Division of Emergency Management Executive Director Kevin Guthrie notified vendors that the state expected rapid progress in removing infrastructure from the facility, which was built at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in the Everglades.

The move comes less than a week after federal and state officials transferred the remaining detainees to other facilities, citing safety concerns as the Atlantic hurricane season begins. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that all detainees had been relocated from the site.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said Monday that the facility had fulfilled its purpose. "I think Alligator Alcatraz actually stayed open longer than it was intentionally planned when it was first conceptualized," Uthmeier told reporters.

Organizations like the Friends of the Everglades and the Miccosukee Tribe filed major lawsuits...one of our city commissioners should be very happy.
