Earlier today, President Donald Trump participated in a roundtable discussion with the Teamsters executive board, its president and members at the annual meeting in Washington DC. President Trump chose to attend the conference as he continues to focus on Main Street blue collar workers who helped fuel the MAGA 2016 victory.
The blue collar MAGA coalition is expected to play a major role in the November election – particularly in Midwestern swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan. The America First agenda delivered significant gains for U.S. manufacturing workers throughout President Trump’s first term. At the conclusion of the meeting with Teamsters, President Trump delivered comments to the oppositional media. [The audio improves at 01:50 of the video] WATCH:

Republican Senators are very worried about the bloom coming off the border security ruse, and as a consequence, their Ukraine money might not be delivered. The multinational corporations, military contractors and Blackrock will not accept their Republican Senate failure; they’ve paid good money for the UniParty to deliver.
The UniParty Republicans trying to finance Ukraine are blaming Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson for not accepting the border security justification in exchange for the Zelenskyy payments. There is much anger and frustration as these traditional processes have always worked before.
Suddenly, people have become wise to the GOP ruse of the military as a justification for self-enriching spending bills, and apparently the K-Street lobbyists are not amused with this great awakening.
WASHINGTON – GOP infighting and indecision is already threatening to disintegrate the border deal, even before Senate negotiators release the long-awaited bill text.
As senators returned for a critical two-week sprint in D.C. before a lengthy recess, Republicans are starting to doubt whether the agreement — which would be tied to billions in foreign aid — can pass their chamber. GOP leaders first set out to find a compromise that could win a majority of Republican senators over, but that’s only grown more challenging as conservatives, Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Donald Trump hammer the deal.
Asked if the agreement appears to be on a path toward passing the Senate, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) replied: “It certainly doesn’t seem like it.”
“There are a number of our members who say, ‘Well, I’ll join a majority of the Republicans but if it doesn’t enjoy that sort of support, then count me out,’” Cornyn said in an interview. “The whole idea of passing something that the House won’t even take up is another challenge.”
There are two main reasons for the growing questions about the bill’s future: Trump’s attacks and Johnson’s vows not to take it up. And the two seem related; Johnson said Tuesday he had talked to Trump about the issue “at length” though he denied they are opposing it for political reasons.
It’s a frustrating nadir for a senators in both parties, who have spent more than three months trying to connect an immigration and border deal with billions in Ukraine funding. (read more)
Rudy Giuliani brought up some good points that were surreptitiously also noted by Victor Davis Hanson. As Giuliani noted in an interview with Newsmax, the core elements of the E Jean Carroll claims never made any sense.
Specifically, Carroll couldn’t even put a date or YEAR on her claims against Donald Trump, but that really didn’t matter in a civil case where the New York state legislature literally wrote a new law that permitted the lawsuit against Donald Trump. WATCH:
VDH – […] “The civil suit serves as a mere preview of four additional leftwing criminal prosecutions, leftwing judges, and leftwing juries to come—all on charges that would never had been filed if Trump either had not run for president or been a liberal progressive.
Yet here we are.
The E. Jean Carroll case is the most baffling of all five. She, the alleged victim, did not remember even the year in which the purported sexual assault took place, nearly three decades ago. Observers have pointed out dozens of inconsistencies in her story.
It was never clear what were the preliminaries that supposedly (Trump denies meeting her) led both, allegedly, willingly to retreat together to a department store dressing room, where during normal business hours the alleged violence took place.
Moreover, the sexual assault complaint came forward decades post facto—and only after Trump was running for and then president.
Carroll eventually sued him for battery, but well after the statute of limitations had expired and thus the case seemed defunct.
Her claims of defamation injuries arise from being fired from her advice column job at ELLE magazine.
She claimed that Trump’s sharp denials and ad hominem retorts led to her career ruin. But the loss for anyone of a column at 76 does not seem such a rare occurrence, and the absence of a salaried job in one’s late seventies for four years does not seem to equate to a $83 million hit.
And note the allegation that her dispute with Trump led to her firing was strongly denied by the very magazine that cut her loose.
But then another strange thing happened. In 2022, a new law (“The Adult Survivors Act”) was passed in the New York legislature. It also post facto established a twelve-month window (beginning six months from the signing of bill) that permitted survivors of long ago alleged sexual assaults suddenly to sue the accused long-ago perpetrator—regardless of the previous statute of limitations.
That unexpected opening suddenly gave Carroll’s prior unsuccessful efforts a rebirth. And she quickly refiled with the help of arch-Trump hating billionaire Hoffman.
Yet the bill may have been introduced with Trump particularly in mind—given the legislator who introduced it, Brad Hoylman-Siga, was known as another Trump antagonist.
More interestingly, he had earlier introduced and had passed another Trump-targeted bill. That “TRUST” act had empowered particular federal Congressional committees to have access to the New York State once sealed tax returns of high-ranking government officials—such as Trump.
That bill’s generally agreed subtext was a green light for anti-Trump members of Congress to obtain legal access to Donald J. Trump’s tax returns.
So there is an eerie feeling that the New York legislature may have abruptly passed legislation that was aimed at the past conduct of Donald Trump but only after he entered the political arena.
While these are not quite bills of attainder, there is something unsettling if they are post facto laws aimed at targeting the most famous and controversial man in America and the leading candidate for the presidency.
In essence they were targeted statutes designed to make Trump’s prior legally unactionable behavior suddenly quite legally actionable.
Trump will be subject to such special treatment all summer and fall.
Prosecutors Bragg, James, Smith, and Willis will synchronize their court business for maximum effect.
Trump again will face leftwing prosecutors, judges, and juries on charges that are politically driven, involving alleged behavior that is either usually not criminalized or not to the same degree as Trump’s case. (Do we remember the nearly $375,000 federal fine belatedly leveled at an exempt Obama but only five years after his 2008 illegal garnering of, and not reporting, foreign campaign contributions?)
The stakes are higher each day as Trump closes in on the nomination and thus becomes the hope of half the country to end the Biden madness.
Somehow Trump will have to stay calm, give no opening to his legion of hostile prosecutors, while conducting a nonstop campaign against Biden (and for a while Hayley), and while fighting to keep his name on various state ballots.
So what we are witnessing is not even the extralegal efforts of Steele/Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie/DNC/Hillary Clinton in 2016, or the 2020 “Russian disinformation” ruse/change the voting laws/infuse half a billion dollars to absorb the work of the registrar machinations against Trump.
We are way beyond all that. The legal system itself, hand-in-glove with leftwing politicos (compare campaign boasts of James and Willis, or prosecutorial visits to the January 6 committee and the White House) is turning the process of balloting and elections into an embarrassing farce.
Still, Trump will have to soldier on. He must stay controlled amid the tsunamis, not play into the hands of his accusers, and remember that he may soon be the only eleventh-hour hope to stop this mockery of American law, customs and traditions.” (link)

We have a MAJOR Constitutional Crisis between the actions of Biden himself and the recent Supreme Court ruling against Texas relying on the Supremacy Clause, which defies the entire intent of the purpose and promises of joining the union. It is astonishing that Justices Roberts and Barrett sided with the left wing and have allowed Biden’s federal officers to continue removing the border fencing erected by the state of Texas while the case is pending.
I am sorry; the Supreme Court is seriously wrong in this decision. The Supremacy Clause may say that Federal decrees overrule state law, but here we are talking about an executive order that is not democratically enacted or even presented to Congress. If the President decrees that you must kill all your firstborn, which Congress never enacted, does that force everyone to do so because of the Supremacy Clause? It is fundamental in the interpretation of law or the Constitution that you cannot interpret one clause of the Constitution in such a way that it violates another.
Article IV
Section 4 The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Article I Legislative Branch Section 10 Powers Denied States
Clause 3 Acts Requiring Consent of Congress No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
The Texas response to the Supreme Court’s order has sparked a heated debate, but honest, serious legal questions have emerged that go to the very heart of the United States’ structure and why Biden has so divided the country. It truly can no longer stand united. In defiance of the Supreme Court’s order, which was SERIOUSLY FLAWED, a decision to install even more razor wire in Eagle Pass has raised several questions about the state’s authority and its conflict with federal laws.
The defiance of the Supreme Court’s order has also raised concerns about the respect for the rule of law, as some expressed fears that this could lead to a conflict between the state and federal authorities. Under this interpretation, Biden should send troops and invade Texas as if this were the Civil War. After all, that’s what Abraham Lincoln did. Some of this is that Texas could take its case to the international court. That is absurd, for the US has refused to join the International Criminal Court, so they have no jurisdiction.
Biden Has No Authority to Refuse to Execute the Immigration Law as it stands now contrary to his Oath of Office.
Biden took an oath of office which states:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
An executive order is a directive from the President with much of the same power as a federal law. Several landmark moments in American history came about directly from the use of executive orders issued from the White House’s desk, including one Supreme Court decision that limited a presidential executive order issued by Harry Truman in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952). This is a critical case because it directly deals with an Executive Order.
Truman believed to avert a nationwide strike of steel workers in April 1952, claiming it would jeopardize national defense, he issued an Executive Order directing the Secretary of Commerce to seize and operate most of the steel mills in the country. There was no statutory authority granting such authority. Still, Truman asserted that it was covered by the claim that his power was based on all powers vested in the President by the Constitution and laws of the United States and as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
The Secretary issued an order to seize the steel mills and directed their presidents to operate them as operating managers for the United States as if they were slaves. Truman did report his action to Congress, but Congress took no action. Even the Fifth Amendment Taking Clause was ignored. This even prevents the claims that the government will just confiscate everyone’s assets. The military is what supports the government and takes its assets away as well, and the government falls.
So here we have the only Supreme Court case on an Executive Order, and the Supreme Court limited and reduced it. It expressly held that the Executive Order was not authorized by the Constitution or laws of the United States, and it cannot stand. Pp. 343 U. S. 585-589. Furthermore, it expressly stated that there is no statute that expressly or impliedly authorizes the President to take possession of this property as he did here. Pp. 343 U. S. 585-586.
Biden Has Committed Treason by Deliberately Violating His Oath of Office
ARTICLE III Section 3 Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
The Court construed the other treason offense authorized by the Constitution similarly narrowly in Cramer v. United States (1945). That case involved another infamous incident in American history: the Nazi Saboteur Affair. Cramer was prosecuted for treason for allegedly helping German soldiers who had secretly infiltrated American soil during World War II. In reviewing Cramer’s treason conviction, the Court explained that a person could be convicted of treason ONLY if he or she adhered to an enemy and gave that enemy “aid and comfort” which Biden is doing.
As the Cramer Court explained:
“A citizen intellectually or emotionally may favor the enemy and harbor sympathies or convictions disloyal to this country’s policy or interest, but, so long as he commits no act of aid and comfort to the enemy, there is no treason. On the other hand, a citizen may take actions which do aid and comfort the enemy—making a speech critical of the government or opposing its measures, profiteering, striking in defense plants or essential work, and the hundred other things which impair our cohesion and diminish our strength—but if there is no adherence to the enemy in this, if there is no intent to betray, there is no treason.”
In other words, the Constitution requires both concrete action and an intent to betray the nation before a citizen can be convicted of treason; expressing traitorous thoughts or intentions alone does not suffice.
From October 2022 last year to September 2023, officials at the southern border have arrested 169 people whose names matched those on the terrorist watch list, compared with 98 during the previous fiscal year and 15 in 2021, according to government data. These are just the people they caught. Watch RFK’s Nightmare at the Border, and he has confirmed that the majority of the people coming in are NOT from South America.
Governor Abbot is Correct
Biden is REFUSING to execute the law passed by Congress and has embarked on an agenda that, WHATEVER Trump did, he has to reverse regardless of the consequences. For a president to REFUSE to execute the law, NO statutory or constitutional authority allows him to do so. Not only is the Governor correct, but this illustrates why the United States cannot stand as a union, for once again, the government usurps all authority to a central government as did Stalin in Russia, and it is only a matter of time before the government to collapse. That is the verdict throughout history – no dictatorial central government has ever survived long-term.
The Roman Empire split over this same issue. In fact, Postumus (260-269AD) issued a coin with the reverse showing him coming to the rescue to defend France, Netherlands, and Britain against the flood of immigrants pouring in from the other side of the Danube – the Restitutor Galliar” (the restorer of Gaul).
As many know, the computer has been forecasting civil unrest, and eventually, the United States will split, as will Europe. Centralized Control, when adopted by a government, ends the very purpose of forming a civilization when everyone benefits. This Biden Administration is acting by an executive order bypassing the Congress that theoretically represented We the People. These forecasts are by no means my personal opinion or wish. I have done my best to WARN the government that this path leads to dissolution. But they refuse to listen and prefer to roll around in the mud like a pig with no cares in the world. It is HISTORY that warns this is not going to end nicely. But nobody will listen because they prefer Klaus Schwab’s new world of total power ending elections.

QUESTION: It seems absurd that some 8,000 people and heads of state, along with Bill Gates, will be arrested for false claims about COVID-19. Is such a claim even possible?
FD
REPLY: No! That is absurd. There are just under 400 journalists in prison for refusing to follow the government’s COVID-19 directives. The majority are in China – 117, to be exact.
Since the Biden Administration has adopted an open border policy, Texas has implemented a state law whereby they will arrest all illegal aliens entering their state. The federal government has done everything to prevent Texas from stopping the surge of migrants and neither side will cave. “The recent actions by the State of Texas have impeded operations of the Border Patrol. Those actions conflict with the authority and duties of Border Patrol under federal law and are preempted under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. Texas’s actions also improperly seek to regulate the federal government,” the DHS said in a letter to Texas AG Ken Paxton. Texas responded by saying it will “not surrender to Biden’s destructive open-border policies.”
A mother and her two children drowned in the river while crossing into Texas. The federal government is solely blaming Texas rather than their failed policies that invited people to cross into the nation in the first place. The Mexican government stepped in to retrieve the family, and US Border Patrol did not show up until after the incident. Forget the millions who have died from the drugs and crime crossing into the US; the MSM will now focus on these three people over the coming weeks.
Numerous Republican governors in other states, especially the south, are sending resources to Texas immediately. Around 100 migrants are crossing into Texas from this specific area every HOUR. This is one of the dirtiest ploys in recent political history. The year 2023 marked the first time in modern US history that the number of migrants far outpaced the number of births in America. The demographics of America have been permanently altered and people are continuing to pile into the country. The Democrats admitted the open border policy was a deliberate attempt to flood the nation with people who would vote for socialistic policies as the usher in the New World Order, but most were utterly clueless regarding the resources required to carry out their failed scheme. Now, their Sanctuary cities and states are in ruin; they have run out of resources.
The far-left told migrants to come to America where the American dream would await them. The American Dream of the 1950s is DEAD. Even hardworking Americans can no longer obtain the lifestyle that was once promised and provided to legal immigrants. These migrants today are unable to work and expect the taxpaying citizens of this nation to pay for their new lives. The future of our nation depends on stopping the deliberate invasion of America.
