Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Refineries Deep Inside Russia

Vladimir Putin admitted that Russia is experiencing “problems” in its war with Ukraine

Kyiv’s drone strikes destroyed more oil depots on Sunday

He made what appeared to be a rare admission of setbacks, commenting on the latest round of Ukraine’s retaliatory strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure.

The air attacks have intensified with fighting along the front line having largely reached a stalemate, and Russia reportedly suffering 30,000 casualties a month.

“Yes, we see the problems, we are aware of them and are responding to them, but we will certainly ensure the security of both the country and our citizens, as well as the inviolability of Russia’s borders,” Putin said at the congress of United Russia, his ruling party.

Genocide Joe!

Biden Stunned as Crowd Shouts “Genocide Joe!” at Maryland Gala

Joe Biden was heckled while speaking at the Maryland Democratic Party’s gala on Saturday night, and the moment quickly turned awkward. He was in the middle of talking about the Democratic Party and the “story of America” when a woman in the crowd shouted, “Genocide Joe!”

The outburst set off a burst of noise in the room. Loud boos could also be heard as the shouting continued. It was not clear how many people were involved in the protest or whether the crowd was booing Biden, the protesters, or both.

The scene was another reminder of how tense things have become inside the Democratic coalition. Biden was there to rally party loyalists, but the protest showed that not everyone in the room was on board with the message.

Instead of a smooth campaign-style appearance, the night briefly turned into a live reminder of the anger and division hanging over the party.

Texas and Florida - Unprecedented Economic Growth

Texas and Florida are leading in tort reform, Boom Belt success

Texas and Florida are leading in tort reform, bringing more business and economic growth to southern Boom Belt states, the Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute (TCCRI) and The James Madison Institute (JMI) argue.

TCCRI was founded in 1996 by a group of state leaders determined to implement conservative public policies in state government based on the principles of limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise and traditional values. Florida-based JMI is dedicated to the ideals of limited government, economic freedom, federalism and individual liberty coupled with individual responsibility.

Their new joint report argues, “Texas’ and Florida’s economic dominance is the direct result of multi-decade efforts to create a predictable civil justice environment. These reforms spurred the business investment, population growth, and capital inflows that define the Boom Belt.”

They also argue this competitive edge “is under threat” by trial lawyer organizations. In Florida, the Florida Justice Association is targeting pro-business politicians to unseat in state legislative races, the JMI argues.

In Texas, plaintiff-aligned groups are funding candidates and PACs to weaken reforms the state legislature has implemented, TCCRI argues.

Evening Sky 6-29-26

In a major victory for the rule of law and the separation of powers, the Court held that in order for federal officers to remain accountable to the President, those officers “must be removable by the President.”

For nearly ninety years, the Court’s 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor has stripped presidents of control over so-called “independent” agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)—allowing unelected bureaucrats to wield executive power without accountability—one of the most damaging precedents in American history.

Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes that executive power is vested in the President alone. AFL’s brief explained that this case was not about expanding presidential power, but restoring constitutional order. [AmericaFirstLegal]

Iran War Powers Resolution

Senate reverses course on Iran war powers resolution after Trump rallies Republican holdouts

The U.S. Senate handed President Trump a clear win late Wednesday, rejecting a Democratic war powers resolution that would have directed him to withdraw American forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress authorized the mission.

The procedural motion failed 47-50-1, a sharp reversal from just one day earlier, when four Republican senators had defected to help pass a nearly identical measure.

The turnaround came after Trump met with GOP senators in a closed-door session that multiple outlets described as heated. Within hours, two key Republican holdouts, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, changed their positions, collapsing the bipartisan coalition that had briefly embarrassed the White House.

The result killed Sen. Tim Kaine's resolution, which would have ordered Trump to "remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran" without congressional authorization.

Had it cleared both chambers, Trump would have needed to veto it. Instead, the measure never got that far.

Democrats don't know what "legal" and "temporary" mean

Democrats unravel after Supreme Court upholds Trump's authority to end Haitian TPS protections

The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration three 6-3 victories on immigration Thursday, and the Democratic response arrived within minutes, loud, emotional, and revealing.

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus rushed to the microphones to denounce the rulings, accuse the justices of white supremacy, and recast hundreds of thousands of Temporary Protected Status holders as "American families", a rhetorical sleight of hand that tells you everything about where the left stands on the distinction between legal and temporary.
  1. The most consequential of the three decisions, Mullin v. Doe, confirmed that the Trump administration can end TPS for roughly 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians living in the United States, overturning lower federal court orders that had blocked the termination.
  2. A second ruling, Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, clarified that a migrant who has not physically set foot on U.S. soil is not entitled to apply for asylum and does not have to be inspected by an immigration officer.
  3.  A third, Blanche v. Muk Choi Lau, will make it easier for the Department of Homeland Security to deport green card holders convicted of crimes.
All three decisions came down on the same 6-3 margin. All three restored executive authority that lower courts had stripped away. And all three drew the same furious reaction from Democrats who have spent years treating temporary immigration protections as permanent entitlements.

Markwayne Mullin on TPS

Markwayne Mullin MIC DROPs Jake Tapper on his own show! 'You can't stop us!'

"Let them go back and build their own country!"

DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin gave Jake Tapper a much-needed reality check during a live CNN face-off, assuring him that the administration will follow through with the deportation of migrants from Haiti and Syria who’s temporary protected status is up.

“The T in TPS stands for temporary Jake!” Mullin said. “We will simply book them on a flight and send them back to Haiti,… and we will give them $2,100 roughly to go back home!”

Woman in Lake Worth Beach forced into Prostitution

Woman came to Florida for cleaning job. She was locked in house and sex trafficked

Two people have been arrested in connection with the crimes

A Peruvian woman who traveled to South Florida from California for a job cleaning vacation homes was instead locked inside a brothel in Lake Worth Beach and sex-trafficked to numerous men, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

On Thursday, deputies arrested Diana Katherine Chaparro Contreras, 33, and Sandra Luz Peralta Aguilar, 50, on charges of sex trafficking an unauthorized alien, living off the earnings of prostitution, and two counts of keeping a house of ill fame, according to jail records.

The victim told deputies in Spanish that she had been applying for housekeeping jobs on Indeed when she found one that offered $35 an hour, according to a probable cause affidavit. Over the phone, people who identified themselves as the employers behind the listing told her that she would be cleaning vacation homes throughout Palm Beach County and that they would pay for her to fly to Florida for the job.

The victim was persuaded by the money they promised and agreed, arriving at Miami International Airport in February. Once she arrived, her employers told her they would provide her housing. An Uber delivered her to a house in the 1100 block of South M Street in Lake Worth Beach, according to the affidavit.

After being told she would be used for prostitution not for housekeeping...the day she arrived in Lake Worth Beach, the victim was forced to have sex with seven men over the course of six hours. The next day the victim managed to break through the plywood covering her window, climb out, and escape.

The Biden Lie That Opened the Border

Sonia Sotomayor Read Her Dissent Aloud and Samuel Alito Fired Back on the Bench

Joe Biden stood in front of the country and said he needed Congress to pass a law before he could stop the border invasion.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 today that he was lying.

Here's what Alito said to Sotomayor's face – and why it ended the argument.

Biden's entire border strategy rested on one claim: his hands were tied.

Biden repeated it for four years as millions of economic migrants poured across the southern border. Democrats echoed it on every cable news hit they could book.

The Senate Republican caucus called it out in a formal resolution, stating plainly that Biden "used executive power to open the border and has the authority to close and secure the border but is purposefully failing to do so."

Republicans were right. Biden was lying

Sunset 6-28-26

Borders mean something, words mean something, and “arrived in the United States” does not mean standing in Mexico demanding entry.

In Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the Supreme Court restored basic logic to immigration law and rejected the Ninth Circuit’s open-borders fiction.

The Biden-era border project depended on pretending that American sovereignty could be litigated away by advocacy groups, district judges, and bureaucratic sabotage.

SCOTUS just said no. A nation has the right to control entry, process claims lawfully, and refuse to let activists redefine geography. [Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox]

Housing Act Passes in Congress

House clears landmark housing bill banning institutional investors from single-family homes

Trump set to sign at Capitol

The House of Representatives passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act on Tuesday by a vote of 358, 32, sending to President Trump's desk the most significant housing legislation in years, one that bars institutional investors from snapping up single-family homes and aims to ease a nationwide affordability crisis that has squeezed working families for half a decade.

Trump is expected to sign the bill into law during a visit to the Capitol Building on Wednesday. The Senate cleared the same measure a day earlier, 85, 5, in a rare show of bipartisan agreement that drew support from both Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) and the panel's top Democrat, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

The final tally, 358 votes in the House, 85 in the Senate, makes this one of the most lopsided legislative victories of the current Congress. And the core provision is one that ordinary Americans have demanded for years: stopping Wall Street-backed firms from outbidding families for starter homes in neighborhoods across the country.

Black Caucus Defends Hakeem

Congressional Black Caucus rallies behind Jeffries, fires back at Slotkin's call for new Democratic leadership

The Congressional Black Caucus closed ranks around House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Friday evening, issuing a joint statement that dismissed Sen. Elissa Slotkin's public call for "significant new leadership" in the Democratic Party, and accused the Michigan senator of enabling the very administration she claims to oppose.

The statement, signed by CBC Chair Yvette D. Clarke of New York and former chairs Reps. Steven Horsford of Nevada and Joyce Beatty of Ohio, cast Slotkin's remarks as a distraction from the party's mission. But it also contained a factual error about Slotkin's voting record, undermining the credibility of the CBC's own counterattack.

The clash lays bare a fault line running through the Democratic minority: a party that cannot agree on who should lead it, or even get its facts straight when attacking one of its own members.

For voters watching from the outside, the spectacle offers a useful window into how the opposition party is spending its energy, not on policy, but on an internal power struggle it cannot resolve.

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
