Blacking out the President's speech

NBC and ABC Blacked Out Trump’s Election Speech and Got a Threat Nobody Saw Coming

NBC and ABC blacked out President Trump's primetime election security address at nine o'clock Thursday night. NBC and ABC had already made their decision hours earlier. Both networks refused to air the speech on their broadcast channels.They chose regular entertainment programming over the President of the United States.

MS NOW, the network that employs former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki, carried the first fifteen minutes of the speech. Then it cut away right as Trump began describing the vulnerabilities in the voting system. CNN treated a national security briefing like a routine press conference.

Only Fox News carried the entire speech from start to finish. CBS at least tried, breaking into regular programming a few minutes late and cutting away before Trump finished. Even then, CBS surrounded the speech with fact-checking before and after, the kind of setup media critics call a "truth sandwich."

Translation: they couldn't let Americans hear the president without a lecture on both sides.

Networks spent a decade lecturing America about protecting democracy. Then they blacked out the president the moment his speech threatened their preferred narrative.

That's not journalism, that's a blackout ordered by people terrified of what the declassified documents actually show.

Mamdani's Rental Ripoff Report

NYC Mayor Mamdani faces backlash after speaker at news conference calls eviction a form of 'violence'

A speaker at a New York City news conference hosted by Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared that evictions constitute "violence", a claim that drew swift and pointed mockery from conservatives, political commentators, and elected officials who called the event a spectacle unworthy of the nation's largest city.

Antonia Marrero, a member of the Housing Organizers for People Empowerment (HOPE) Tenant Union, made the remarks Thursday while Mamdani stood behind her, visibly smiling. The moment, captured on video and circulated widely on X, became an instant flashpoint in the ongoing debate over the socialist mayor's aggressive housing agenda.

The news conference was staged to promote Mamdani's "Rental Ripoff Report," a 23-proposal policy document that the mayor's office says addresses everything from AI-altered rental listings to code enforcement modernization and formal recognition of tenant unions.

But the policy rollout was overshadowed almost immediately by Marrero's rhetoric, and by the mayor's grinning reaction to it.

Mamdani's rip-Off Report:

Still in denial

Jill Biden claims media held her husband to a harsher standard than Trump

Former first lady Jill Biden told a New York audience that the press treated her husband far more harshly than it treats President Trump, a complaint that landed alongside an unscripted interruption from Joe Biden himself and fresh admissions about the family's years of denial over Hunter Biden's drug addiction.

The Biden presidency ended under a cloud of questions about whether the White House misled the country about the president's fitness for office. Jill Biden herself has since admitted she feared her husband was having a stroke on live television during the 2024 debate.

She faulted the White House medical team for failing to catch his cancer. She now concedes the family was in denial about Hunter's addiction while the administration dismissed reporters who asked about it.

These are not the hallmarks of a family victimized by an overzealous press. They are the hallmarks of a family that benefited from a press corps willing to look the other way for years, until the evidence became impossible to ignore.

It's always the other guy's fault

Carney points finger at Washington as Canadian wildfires choke American cities

With 136 active wildfires burning across Ontario and toxic smoke blanketing cities from Detroit to New York, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stood before reporters Thursday and offered Americans a familiar answer: blame climate change, and blame yourselves.

Carney, speaking at a press conference in Ontario, dismissed suggestions that his government could do more to contain the fires. Instead, he pivoted to U.S. energy policy, telling reporters in French that Canada is "maintaining our efforts on the world's scale" while "the U.S. is reducing their efforts globally" on climate change.

President Trump, for his part, has been characteristically direct. The Washington Times reported that Trump threatened to raise tariff levels on Canadian goods, framing the smoke as an "invasion" and accusing Canada of ignoring "basic Forest Management and Debris Removal."

Trump announced plans to call Carney directly, posting that "the cost is incalculable." The administration's posture fits a broader pattern of holding foreign actors accountable for consequences that reach American soil, a philosophy visible in recent joint operations against transnational criminal organizations as well.

From front-runner to 4%

Katie Porter abandons politics after catastrophic gubernatorial loss

She pivots to Instagram book reviews

Former California Democratic Rep. Katie Porter announced she is walking away from politics, at least for now, after a gubernatorial primary collapse that saw her plummet from front-runner to a fifth-place finish with barely 4% of the vote.

Her new venture: recommending books on Instagram.

Porter posted a video to her Instagram account Thursday declaring she is "done for now with politics and campaigning" and rebranding her page as "Katie Porter turns the page," a space for book recommendations and author content.

The Washington Examiner reported on the announcement, which caps a remarkably swift fall for a politician who once polled at 21% in the California Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The rebrand is less a graceful exit than an acknowledgment of political reality. Porter's campaign cratered after a leaked video and a string of staff controversies turned her progressive brand toxic, even among Democratic primary voters in deep-blue California.

China Election Interference

Evening Sky 7-19-26

The Trump administration is reviving a rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits that could include food stamps, Medicaid, housing vouchers and others.

The policy, known as “public charge,” appeared on Thursday in the Federal Register. It will be formally published on July 20 and take effect Sept. 18. Under the policy, applicants for green cards have to show they wouldn’t be burdens to the country or “public charges.”

The policy was first implemented in February 2020 as one of President Donald Trump’s moves to limit legal immigration during his first administration, but it was reversed after Democratic President Joe Biden came to power.

New York's Fraud Numbers Are in a Class of Their Own

Donald Trump Sent Federal Agents Into New York After Kathy Hochul Let Fraudsters Steal 2 Million Dollars a Day

Kathy Hochul watched Nigerian crime rings and foreign syndicates drain $507 million from New York's unemployment system in 2025. Now Trump's elite strike force is on the ground in Albany – and Hochul has some explaining to do.

The Department of Labor just embedded federal agents inside New York State's own unemployment office to hunt down every fraud lead and build criminal cases from the inside.

New York isn't just bad at stopping unemployment fraud. It's the worst in the country – by a wide margin. The state carries a 15% fraud rate and a 23% improper payment rate – both the highest in the nation.

Of the $507 million in overpayments paid out in 2025, New York has clawed back just 25%. The national average is 69%.

That gap isn't incompetence. That's a state government that stopped trying.

Jimmy Kimmel: Left wing sick political jokes

ABC Fired Jimmy Kimmel Over a Conservative Death Joke and His Guest Just Did It Again

Jimmy Kimmel got his show pulled off the air for joking about a conservative's death.

His replacement walked onstage 48 hours after Lindsey Graham died and did it again. What Ike Barinholtz, a supposed comedian, said on live television Monday night should cost ABC the same thing it cost them last fall. ABC Learned Nothing From the Charlie Kirk Suspension.

Less than a year ago, ABC yanked Kimmel off the air after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr called his Charlie Kirk death jokes "truly sick" and threatened Disney's broadcast licenses. Nexstar and Sinclair – two of the country's biggest affiliate groups – immediately pulled the show from their stations.

Kimmel returned only after apologizing on air, voice breaking, swearing he never meant to make light of anyone's death.

The show has become a revolving door of left-wing politics disguised as late night entertainment – and now it's openly daring regulators to respond.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr was blunt when Kimmel's show was suspended last fall: companies either act on their own or face regulatory action.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr Says Disney Ran a Misinformation Campaign

Brendan Carr Called Disney’s Bluff on The View and Its FCC Licenses May Not Survive

ABC begged its own viewers last month to help save The View from federal regulators.

The FCC's answer arrived this week and it was not the one Disney wanted.

Brendan Carr's agency just moved against Disney in a way that could end more than one show.

The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to rule that The View is not a bona fide news program – a decision that would strip Disney's flagship gabfest of a 20 year old legal shield.

That shield is the only thing standing between Whoopi Goldberg's table and the FCC's equal time rule.

Lose it, and every time a Democrat candidate sits at that table, ABC has to hand identical airtime to the Republican running against them.

Democrats' Systematic Obstruction

Senate Democrats hold defense bill hostage over Iran war objections

Senate Democrats blocked the National Defense Authorization Act on Tuesday, refusing to advance the must-pass defense policy bill in a 50-46 vote that fell well short of the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Every Democrat present voted against the measure, turning a traditionally bipartisan piece of legislation into a protest vehicle over President Trump's military operations in Iran.

The move stalls a $1 trillion defense package that includes a 3.6% pay raise for troops, investments in military housing, health care, and childcare, and major funding for drones, counterdrone systems, shipbuilding, and the B-21 long-range strategic bomber. It marks the first time in over six decades that the NDAA has been blocked at this stage.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune voted against the procedural motion himself, a tactical maneuver that preserves his ability to bring the bill back to the floor. But the damage was done. Democrats made clear they intend to hold defense policy hostage until they extract concessions on the Iran conflict.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer led the opposition, casting the vote not as a question of defense readiness but as a stand against what he called an unauthorized war. Schumer laid out his case on the Senate floor ahead of the vote.

Senate Democrats face a choice that goes beyond Iran. They can pursue their war powers argument through the proper channels, a standalone resolution, hearings, floor debate, or they can continue holding the defense bill hostage.

The first option is legitimate oversight. The second is obstruction dressed up as principle.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced 14 consecutive months of zero releases at the border, continuing the unprecedented trend of historically low border crossings.

“Another month of historically low illegal border crossings demonstrates the success of President Trump’s border security policies,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “Thanks to President Trump's leadership, we went from the worst border crisis in history to 14 straight months of ZERO releases at the border. Our border is CLOSED to lawbreakers."

The sustained decline in illegal border crossings and apprehensions—now at levels not seen in over three decades—shows the profound impact of robust enforcement policies. With daily apprehensions down 94% from the previous administration, the border remains more secure than at any point in history. [Homeland Security]

U.S. Pardon Attorney gets grilled by Senator Hawley

Elizabeth Oyer, fired by Todd Blanche

Elizabeth Oyer was appointed as the U.S. Pardon Attorney in April 2022 by President Joe Biden

GOP senators confront former Biden pardon attorney over clemency push for Dylann Roof, federal death row inmates

Republican senators turned a confirmation hearing for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche into a sustained confrontation with the former Biden administration pardon attorney who recommended clemency for all 40 federal death row inmates, including the man who walked into a Charleston, South Carolina, church in 2015 and shot nine Black parishioners to death during Bible study.

Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri led the charge Thursday on Capitol Hill, pressing Elizabeth Oyer over a 73-page memorandum she authored in November 2024 that urged President Joe Biden to spare every inmate on the federal death row.

Democrats had called Oyer as their chief witness against Blanche's nomination. By the time Republicans finished questioning her, the witness they summoned had become the hearing's central liability.

The exchange, reported by Fox News Digital, laid bare a question that should trouble every American who believes victims matter more than their killers:

Hawley went straight at the most indefensible names on Oyer's list. Dylann Roof murdered nine parishioners at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. Robert Bowers killed 11 Jewish worshipers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev carried out the Boston Marathon bombing. Oyer recommended clemency for all three.

How did a senior Justice Department official produce a 73-page clemency recommendation that, according to a DOJ report cited during the hearing, devoted just three paragraphs to the grievances of victims' families?

Non-Citizens on Voter Rolls

Confirmed: Foreigners by hundreds of thousands fill U.S. voter rolls

DHS reveals non-citizens are registered, COULD vote, albeit illegally

That's according to documentation from the Department of Homeland Security which has confirmed that nearly 300,000 non-citizens are "illegally registered to vote in just the four states for which public data files have been reviewed."

President Donald Trump, who repeatedly has expressed his concerns about corruption in the U.S. election system and the possibility of outsiders influencing the U.S., confirmed the problem. Of course, since Democrat-run states have declined to aid in the basic election integrity work, the number actually probably is much higher.

A report at Not the Bee cited the federal SAVE system, which could be used to verify voters' citizenship.

"State election officials in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada have been notified of this serious threat to national security and DHS stands ready to support their efforts to identify and remove ineligible registrants.

The investigation is expanding to include multiple additional states. In addition, DHS will support the Department of Justice's review of voter files obtained pursuant to their enforcement authority under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002," the DHS said.

New Jersey wrong on banning AR-15's

Third Circuit strikes down New Jersey's AR-15 and magazine bans as unconstitutional

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that New Jersey's decades-old bans on so-called assault firearms and magazines holding more than ten rounds violate the Second Amendment, delivering a 10-5 decision that dismantles two of the most aggressive gun-control measures on the East Coast and sets the stage for a Supreme Court showdown.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that New Jersey failed to justify its restrictions under the historical-analogue test the Supreme Court established for evaluating firearms regulations. The state pointed to colonial-era gunpowder storage laws and Bowie knife bans enacted in Western territories. The court was unpersuaded.

U.S. Circuit Judge Arianna Freeman, a Biden appointee who authored the majority opinion, wrote bluntly about the magazine restrictions:

"The text of the Second Amendment covers all magazines, not just magazines that New Jersey considers 'standard capacity."

New Jersey spent thirty-six years telling law-abiding citizens they couldn't own some of the most popular firearms in America. It took the Constitution about thirty-six pages to explain why the state was wrong.

Citizenship Act - Illegals are Invaders

Sonia Sotomayor Accidentally Handed Jim Banks the Legal Weapon He Needed to End Birthright Citizenship

Banks Turns the Left's Own Case Against Birthright Citizenship

Indiana Republican Jim Banks introduced the Citizenship Act on Monday. The bill strips automatic citizenship from the children of illegal aliens and birth tourists by legally classifying their parents as invaders.

That word choice is not an accident. Banks is pulling straight from Trump's own executive order, the one that declared the southern border crisis an invasion on Day One of his second term.

The Supreme Court struck that order down on June 30 in Trump v. Barbara, ruling that it violated the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause. Chief Justice John Roberts leaned on the 1898 case Wong Kim Ark to write the majority opinion.

Banks just picked up that same 128-year-old ruling and turned it into the foundation of his bill. Wong Kim Ark carved out exceptions to birthright citizenship for children of foreign invaders, diplomats, and occupying armies.

Following a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that citizenship eligibility requires either a constitutional amendment or an act of Congress, lawmakers such as Sen. Jim Banks and Rep. John McGuire introduced these bills in mid-July 2026 to bypass the constitutional requirement via federal statute.

The bill classifies individuals who enter the country without authorization or for "birth tourism" as invaders, preventing their US-born children from receiving automatic citizenship.

Banks is betting Congress can now define illegal aliens as exactly that...invaders.
