The formula was sinister and simple. Trump announces a new immigration policy. That cues progressive activist groups to race to court and file a lawsuit. A friendly federal activist judge somewhere in California, Hawaii, or D.C. slaps an injunction on the policy, and just like that, everything grinds to a screeching halt. The left is hoping that months drag on and turn into years, letting the lawsuits pile up, and hopefully the policy dies a slow, lonely death before the American people ever get to see if it works. This was the Left’s weaponized political strategy, and for a while, it worked. It stalled Trump’s agenda

Multiple countries have proposed ‘digital service taxes’ which are taxes on the domestic use of American tech platforms like META, Twitter, Amazon etc. EU countries are planning to tax U.S. based tech platforms for the revenues generated by operations within EU countries. President Trump announces retaliatory action via reciprocity taxes, in essence leveraging the entirety of the U.S. consumer market, if the EU proceed with this new tax revenue scheme against U.S. companies. Canada was on the cusp of a digital services tax last year when Trump made a similar announcement forcing Canada to abandon the plan.

LOS ANGELES -- A mistrial was declared Friday in the arson case against Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man accused of setting what eventually became the Palisades Fire. Prosecutors said they will try again. The judge declared the mistrial after a jury on Thursday said that they could not reach a verdict in 29-year-old Rinderknecht's trial on three federal charges: arson, malicious destruction by means of fire and timber set aflame. The deadlock was 10 jurors set on a not guilty verdict and 2 jurors determined to convict.

Charlie Kirk's accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, can still face the potential death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder, a Utah judge ruled Friday. Judge Tony Graf Jr. found Deputy Utah County Attorney Christopher Ballard was in contempt of a court order for statements he made about his opinion on the strength of evidence in the case — but he was not wrong for making other statements in which he disputed a misleading characterization about specific ballistic evidence from a defense court filing. As a result, Graf denied Robinson's argument that the appropriate remedy would be to remove the potential death penalty — and instead he said he would expand the jury selection

Hopefully, this will speed up the process to remove millions of migrants who were previously shielded by “Temporary Protected Status.” {Ruling Here} In a 6-3 decision Thursday, the Supreme Court said the administration can strip temporary protected status (TPS) from migrants who arrived from Islamist Syria and the ‘sh!thole‘ nation of Haiti. Given the ridiculous way Obama and Biden defined crisis, the ruling appears to have removed legal obstacles blocking Trump and Rubio from ending the temporary protected status for immigrants from 13 countries, including Venezuela, Honduras and Afghanistan. Get rid of all of them. Illegal migrants do not have constitutional protection.

Amy touched upon this this morning. There was a terrible no-call that occurred during the Indiana Fever-Phoenix Mercury game last night. Phoenix Forward Alyssa Thomas punched Clark in the throat. No whistle was blown: (tweets/video)This is an obvious flagrant 2, but the league is allowing Clark to be used as a punching bag. Even Indiana’s coach, Stephanie White, torched the league for letting this slide: (snip)Yet, that’s not the only indignity—Clark was left off the 30th anniversary cover of the WNBA. It’s not a screw-up, as Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese are on it. Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd ripped into the league for being paranoid, weird, and insular:

Midway through the second quarter of the Indiana Fever’s 111-109 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night, WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark went to the floor and lost control of the ball while being defended by Lexi Held of the Mercury. Amid the scramble for the ball, Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas landed on Clark, pushed her fist into Clark’s throat, then stepped over her. Despite the egregiousness of the incident, no foul was called. After the game, Fever coach Stephanie White called the play a “cheap shot.” Clark left the game with 5:15 to play in the third quarter because of a back issue that was aggravated

A foreign-born federal judge in D.C. ruled Monday that Americans are not allowed to check the citizenship of prospective voters because doing so might “purge voter rolls.” D.C. District Court Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who is from Trinidad and Tobago, blocked the Trump administration from using an updated database called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system in order to ensure that only American citizens vote in American elections. (snip)_ U.S. citizen in 2009, but seemingly still retains citizenship in Trinidad and Tobago,(snip)” As Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., pointed out, “If judges can stop Presidents, they should not also be citizens of foreign nations.”

President Donald Trump on June 24 canceled the scheduled signing of a bipartisan housing bill aimed at lowering home prices, saying that an election integrity bill should be passed by Congress first. “Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,” Trump posted on Truth Social. The SAVE America Act would require voters to prove their U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. The House has passed the legislation, while the Senate has struggled to get the necessary 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. Democrats have objected to the bill, arguing

A Utah judge on Monday denied two major defense motions in the capital murder case against Tyler Robinson. Judge Tony Graf also delayed a highly anticipated decision on whether prosecutors should face sanctions over their public comments about the evidence. )snip)During Monday’s hearing, Judge Graf ruled that prosecutors may rely on certain hearsay evidence at Robinson’s upcoming preliminary hearing, and rejected the defense’s effort to subpoena an out-of-state witness to testify in person. He also announced he needs additional time to decide whether prosecutors violated a court “gag” order over pretrial publicity,

I previously saw an interesting discussion with NVIDEA Jensen Haung where in the context of AI he was asked: who is the smartest person you ever met?Jensen Haung paused for quite a few moments thinking about the question before he answered. Haung then redefined the word “smart.” ‘Smart’ is a word we have historically used in reference to ‘intelligence’. If a person was intelligent, we say that person is smart. (snip)This interview about the ramifications of cultural change in Europe was given in 2010, sixteen years ago, centered on a book written by Mark Steyn and the context within the questioning is looking forward over a period of about 20 years.

If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, all of it related to the Travyon Martin case. You will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy Carvalho was. {SEARCH TOOL}Carvalho organized a system within Miami-Dade, where black male students could avoid criminal charges, including felony cases, and have their behavior instead handled with school discipline.The approach was part of the Obama inspired “My Brother’s Keeper” concept. Miami-Dade School Police (MDSPD) were instructed not to arrest black male students and instead refer their conduct to school administration. Trayvon Martin was one of the beneficiaries.
