Second Court Ignores Landmark SCOTUS Ruling, Issues Nationwide Injunction

In a 6-3 ruling late last month, Justice Amy Coney Barrett minced no words when it came to so-called “universal injunctions,” lower-court rulings that extended far beyond that court’s jurisdiction.

“It is unnecessary to consider whether Congress has constrained the Judiciary; what matters is how the Judiciary may constrain the Executive,” Barrett wrote in the decision.

“That goes for judges, too,” Barrett added. “When a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power, too.”

That decision, by the way, did not decide the merits of the case in which the universal injunction was issued: President Donald Trump’s administration has argued that the 14th Amendment does not grant birthright citizenship because those born to citizens of other countries within U.S. borders are not among “persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

The meaning of this language, and whether children of foreign nationals are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States will eventually be decided one way or another before the high court. But the ruling itself was clear: Before that, nationwide universal injunctions were the judiciary acting in a way that exceeded its power.

So, for the second time since the decision, the judiciary has exceeded its power, because what the heck?

In a 2-1 decision handed down late Wednesday by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, judges ruled that the plaintiffs — attorneys general from four Democratic-led states, Arizona, Illinois, Oregon, and Washington — could receive a nationwide injunction because that was the only way to obtain requisite relief, according to The Hill.

“States’ residents may give birth in a non-party state, and individuals subject to the Executive Order from non-party states will inevitably move to the States,” U.S. Circuit Judge Ronald Gould wrote in the opinion of the court.

Both Gould and Judge Michael Hawkins, who voted to issue the universal injunctions, were Bill Clinton appointees.

Will ‘Greater Syria’ and ‘Greater Israel’ Collide or Co-exist under the Al Qaeda Regime?

With the fall of Syria came the reshaping of the Resistance Axis, weakened by the loss of the central hub linking the regional state and non-state actors, and providing the land bridge that connected Iran to Palestine. Syria was historically instrumental in the manufacture and development of the weapons being used by the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance factions against Israel.

This is an update on the current state of affairs in the region, focusing on Lebanon and Syria since the ‘ceasefire’ between the US, Israel, and Iran. It is a ceasefire designed to enable Israel to replenish air defence interceptor supplies and to prepare for the next stage of the long war against Iran. As with the ceasefire between Iran and Hezbollah that came into effect on 27 November 2024, we saw a US/Israel pivot to Syria and the fall of the Syrian Government within ten days, leading to an Al Qaeda Junta controlling Syria and acting as a de facto Zionist alliance proxy in the region.

Lebanon

Trump’s inexperienced, economic hit-man, and envoy to the Middle East (West Asia) is Thomas Barrack. In recent weeks, Barrack has been pushing the Lebanese Government for the full disarmament of Hezbollah, contrary to UN resolution 1701, which specifies the withdrawal of Hezbollah to the north of the Litani River. Both the US and Trump’s advisors know that this is an unrealistic demand, as Hezbollah will never agree to disarm while Israel is on their borders and occupying land in southern Lebanon.

Barrack is demanding that the disarmament comes into effect within four months, which is also unrealistic. In the 1980s, after the Lebanese Civil War, the Zionist-aligned Lebanese Forces were disarmed, which at the time represented less than 10% of Hezbollah’s capabilities. This process took two or three years.

Proposing the disarmament of Hezbollah is a similar tactic to demanding Iran abandons its nuclear energy development or its defensive missile program. The Zionist bloc know it will not be adopted. For Israel, the goal is to weaken the Resistance in Lebanon and Iraq in the interim period before a resurgence of aggression against Iran. The preferred option in Lebanon is to manufacture a civil war which will occupy Hezbollah internally, reducing their ability to react to Israeli aggression, in theory. However, this is a miscalculation on the part of the Zionist bloc.

Barrack is insistent upon the Hezbollah disarmament, but he is not applying the same pressure on Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon, or to stop its daily bombing raids and drone assassinations across Lebanon.

Hezbollah has demonstrated its ability to withstand and prevent any serious ground invasion by the Zionist forces, while the Lebanese Army (LAF) has been unable to prevent further Zionist incursions since the ceasefire. This is largely because the US, the chief sponsor of the LAF, has ensured that the LAF are not equipped with air defence capabilities or the ground superiority necessary to be able to defend the country against the asymmetric force of the US-empowered Zionist military. They are restricted to ‘reporting’ the daily Zionist violations and regular assassinations of Lebanese civilians on the basis that they are ‘Hezbollah’.

EPA confirms existence of GEOENGINEERING programs, validating long-held public concerns

  • The U.S. EPA officially confirmed the existence of government-backed geoengineering programs, reversing years of denial. Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a transparency initiative detailing solar radiation modification (SRM) and its risks.
  • SRM involves injecting reflective particles (e.g., sulfur dioxide) to cool the planet, but the EPA warns it may harm the ozone layer, disrupt weather, damage crops and cause acid rain. Neurological risks, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, are also linked to nano-aluminum particles from atmospheric spraying.
  • The EPA admitted tracking private actors engaged in geoengineering, suggesting undisclosed corporate or international programs. Weather modification techniques like cloud seeding (using silver iodide) were also confirmed.
  • The disclosure sparked debate, with some lawmakers pushing for bans while critics dismissed extreme weather links. Skeptics argue the move distracts from broader climate policy failures, blurring lines between fact and conspiracy theories.
  • The admission raises concerns about undisclosed programs and long-term consequences. While the EPA denies large-scale SRM operations, public distrust persists, leaving citizens to navigate potential health and environmental risks. The era of denial has ended, but the full impact remains uncertain.

In a dramatic shift, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially acknowledged the existence of government-backed geoengineering programs – a revelation that confirms what skeptics and concerned citizens have alleged for decades.

On Thursday, July 16, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the agency’s new transparency initiative. The agency published detailed resources on geoengineering and contrails while admitting the potential dangers of such programs. The EPA’s admission marks a stunning reversal from years of official denial and ridicule directed at those who questioned the unnatural patterns in the skies above them.

For years, Americans who pointed to persistent white trails crisscrossing the atmosphere were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Now, the EPA has conceded that geoengineering – specifically solar radiation modification (SRM) – is not only real, but poses serious environmental and health risks.

President Trump Plans to Open 401(k)s to Bitcoin, Crypto, Gold, and Private Equity: FT

Financial Times reported today that President Trump is preparing to sign an executive order that would allow 401(k) retirement plans to invest in alternative assets such as gold, private equity, and cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

“Donald Trump is preparing to open the $9tn US retirement market to cryptocurrency investments, gold, and private equity in a move that would spur a radical shift in the way Americans’ savings are managed,” reported the Financial Times.

According to Financial Times, the order is expected this week and will direct federal regulators to remove barriers preventing 401(k) plans from including these non-traditional investments in managed funds. This includes digital assets, metals, private loans, infrastructure deals, and corporate buyout funds.

CNN Analyst Doubles Down on Stupid, Suggesting Trump Admin ‘Helping Russia’ by Sharing New Details on Collusion Hoax

Now that Tulsi Gabbard is sharing shocking new details on the Russia collusion hoax that implicate former President Obama, some people on the left are having a hard time facing the facts.

Enter CNN national security analyst Beth Sanner, who insisted this week that there is nothing to this, and that the Trump administration is actually helping Russia by advancing the story.

So in her mind, Trump is STILL working for Russia, in a way. There is no fixing these people.

The New York Post reports:

CNN analyst accuses Trump admin of aiding Russia by releasing ‘cherry-picked’ intel on Trump-Russia collusion investigation

CNN National Security Analyst Beth Sanner accused the Trump administration of aiding Russia after the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, declassified a report prepared by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence back in 2020 on Wednesday.

Sanner slammed the administration on Wednesday for releasing the report, which she claimed included “cherry-picked examples” that ran contrary to the intelligence community’s assessment at the time that Russian President Vladimir Putin meddled in the 2016 election in hopes of helping President Donald Trump win.

“What I don’t appreciate is that these are cherry-picked examples that they are quibbling, angels dancing on the head of a pin when we have volumes of reporting,” she asserted.

“You’re always going to find one report that’s different, OK, whatever.”

Trump Signs Executive Order Aimed at Helping Cities and States Get Homeless People Off the Streets and Into Treatment Centers

President Trump has just signed a new executive order which is intended to help cities and states get homeless people off of sidewalks and streets and into treatment centers. It’s part of his effort to make America safe again.

Homelessness has always been an issue in America but has exploded in certain blue cities in recent decades and the people who run these places seem unwilling or unable to deal with the problem.

For some reason, many liberals seem to think it is compassionate to allow people to continue to live in filth, addicted to dangerous drugs.

FOX News reports:

Homeless people can be removed from streets by cities, states in new Trump executive order

As part of his effort to “Make America Safe Again,” President Donald Trump signed an executive order to allow cities and states to remove homeless people off the streets and into treatment centers.

Trump signed the order, “Ending Vagrancy and Restoring,” Thursday afternoon.

The order states that the “number of individuals living on the streets in the United States on a single night during the last year of the Biden administration — 274,224 — was the highest ever recorded.”

It directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to “reverse judicial precedents and end consent decrees” stopping or limiting cities and states from removing homeless individuals from the streets and moving them to treatment centers.

Though it is unclear how much money will be allocated to the effort, Trump’s order redirects federal funds to ensure that removed homeless individuals are sent to rehabilitation, treatment and other facilities.

Additionally, the order requires Bondi to partner with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to prioritize federal grants to cities and states that “enforce prohibitions on open illicit drug use, urban camping and loitering, and urban squatting, and track the location of sex offenders,” according to USA Today.

U.S. To Eliminate Mercury-Based Preservative From All Flu Vaccines

The Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday that it will fully eliminate thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, from flu vaccines, following a formal recommendation by a federal advisory panel.

The move marks a significant shift in vaccine policy after years of mounting concern over mercury exposure, particularly in children. 

Last month, the ACIP voted to limit flu vaccines to only those free of thimerosal. The mercury-containing preservative, largely phased out of childhood vaccines by 2001, still lingers in some multi-dose flu shots. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on Tuesday signed the advisory board’s recommendations, the department said Wednesday. –Just the News

“After more than two decades of delay, this action fulfills a long-overdue promise to protect our most vulnerable populations from unnecessary mercury exposure,” Kennedy said in a statement. “Injecting any amount of mercury into children when safe, mercury-free alternatives exist defies common sense and public health responsibility. Today, we put safety first.”

Kennedy added: “With the U.S. now removing mercury from all vaccines, we urge global health authorities to follow this prudent example for the protection of children worldwide.”

Thimerosal, first introduced in the 1930s to prevent microbial contamination in multi-dose vaccine vials, was largely removed from childhood immunizations by 2001. However, it remained in some adult flu shots and doses provided through multi-use vials, which have been favored for their efficiency in mass vaccination settings.

The renewed push to remove thimerosal gained traction in the late 1990s, after the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 mandated a review of mercury in medical products. In recent decades, growing public and scientific scrutiny of cumulative mercury exposure – particularly among infants and pregnant women – has led to calls for reform.

According to HHS, 96 percent of flu vaccines for the 2024–2025 season are already thimerosal-free, meaning the transition to single-dose, preservative-free vials is unlikely to disrupt supply. Vaccine manufacturers have assured the agency that they can meet demand for both adult vaccinations and the Vaccines for Children program.

Trump EPA To Remove “Greenhouse Gases” From List Of Dangerous Pollutants

The Trump administration is acting to overturn a key 2009 Environmental Protection Agency finding used to justify most federal government regulations regarding climate change.

The EPA has crafted a proposal that would undo the government’s “endangerment finding”, a determination that pollutants from burning fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The finding has long served as the foundation for a host of policies and rules to address climate change. The EPA’s proposal to revoke the finding is currently under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget.

In 2007, the Supreme Court found in Massachusetts v. EPA that the agency is required to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Then, in 2009 during the Obama administration, the EPA declared greenhouse gases in the atmosphere were a hazard to people. 

“This long-overdue finding cements 2009’s place in history as the year when the United States Government began seriously addressing the challenge of greenhouse gas pollution and seizing the opportunity of clean-energy reform,” then-EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said in announcing the decision.

Joe Biden Gets $10 Million Advance to Write a Book No One is Going to Read

Joe Biden just landed another big payday, this time in the form of a $10 million advance to write a presidential memoir.

Does anyone believe that Joe Biden is going to write a book that generates $10 million dollars in sales? More to the point, does anyone really believe that Joe Biden is going to actually write a book?

This is a tome that will be ghost written and will end up on the discount table not long after being released.

Breitbart News reports:

Report: Joe Biden’s Presidential Memoir Sells for $10 Million

Former President Joe Biden (D) will reportedly receive a $10 million advance for his memoir about his four years leading the nation.

Biden sold the title to the Hachette Book Group but its publisher, Little, Brown, & Company, has not set a date for publication. Biden has said he is “working my tail off” writing his book, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Wednesday.

According to the article, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama made significantly more on their book deals:

Penguin Random House acquired the rights to books by former U.S. President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama in 2017 for a price that was widely reported at the time as being in the range of $60 million. President Trump didn’t publish a memoir after his first term in office. Alfred A. Knopf, which like Penguin Random House is owned by Bertelsmann, paid $15 million for President Bill Clinton’s 2004 memoir “My Life.”

It’s wrong to join foreign military — left and right should agree

Why don’t right-wing Canadian nationalists condemn those fighting in a foreign military? They should join the anti-genocide and pacifist minded critics of those involved in Israel’s holocaust.

Recently prominent former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson said that any American, who serves in the Israeli military should lose their citizenship. “There are a lot of Americans who’ve served in the IDF, they should lose their citizenship,” he told a right-wing audience. “There’s a lot of Americans who’ve served in Ukraine, and they should lose their citizenship. You can’t fight for another country and remain an American.”

Prominent Canadian military historian Jack Granatstein has made similar statements in the past. In 2014 he told an interviewer, “in my view no one who is a Canadian should be able to enlist in some other country’s military and keep his Canadian citizenship.”

Joining a foreign army should rest uneasily with right-wing nationalist thinking. It’s common for governments everywhere to seek to deter their citizens from joining other countries’ militaries. Canada’s Foreign Enlistment Act makes it illegal to “induce” Canadians to join another country’s military.

While the 1937 act was written to stop internationalist-minded leftist Canadians from fighting against Franco’s fascists in Spain, it is the successor to an 1870 British act that applied in Canada. That legislation was the outgrowth of rising nationalism in Europe (which later stoked Zionism).

On Monday, the Times of Israel published “‘I’m afraid to go home’: Canadian IDF soldiers fear fallout from war crimes probe.” Widely shared on social media, the story quotes a Canadian in occupation force stating, “I was supposed to go to Canada last week but after the investigation was announced, I felt afraid to go home.”

It also reports that “at least one Canadian-Israeli soldier has sought legal representation from Lt. Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch, the former head of the IDF’s military prosecution in the West Bank.”

(In a related development, Belgian authorities detained and questioned two Israeli citizens over the weekend after pro-Palestinian groups accused them of war crimes in Gaza)

Canadians fighting in Gaza are panicking even though there’s been little push to apply Canada’s War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Act by the NDP, media or even most Palestine solidarity groups. All Canadians who’ve fought in Gaza should be prosecuted.
