Texas Hospital Caught Red-Handed Advertising BIRTH PACKAGES in Mexico to Convince Foreigners to Have Babies In America – Governor Greg Abbott Orders Investigation

A hospital in South Texas is under fire for trying to profit from America’s ridiculous birthright citizenship policy, which was upheld by the Supreme Court last week.

As Fox News reported on Tuesday, Mission Regional Medical Center has been caught red-handed advertising a birth packages campaign in billboards in Mexico. The purpose was to convince foreign nationals to give birth across the border so their babies could obtain U.S. citizenship.

The hospital promoted deliveries starting at $3,950 for a natural birth and $5,525 for a C-section, and directed viewers to a website, havemybabyinTEXAS.com. The website has since been taken down.

Moreover, the billboards also displayed a telephone number beginning with “001.” This is the country code used to place calls to the United States from Mexico.

Mission Regional Medical Center later claimed this was all a “misunderstanding” and claimed they had backed off.

“The marketing materials regarding maternity services are no longer in use due to any unintended misunderstanding,” a hospital spokesperson told Fox News. “We do not support or facilitate any unlawful activity and work to comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations.”

Carney wants sweeping powers over your phone while using a foreign one himself

Prime Minister Mark Carney wants sweeping new powers over Canada’s telecommunications system. But according to a recent Wall Street Journal report, when it comes to his own communications, he’s reportedly relying on a U.K.-based cellphone to communicate with foreign leaders.

If true, the irony is impossible to ignore.

The Carney government is pushing Bill C-22, legislation that would significantly expand Ottawa’s authority over Canada’s telecommunications sector in the name of national security. The bill would give the federal government broad powers to issue security orders to telecommunications companies, require providers to comply with government directives, and increase federal oversight of Canada’s communications infrastructure.

Canadians are being told these extraordinary powers are necessary because secure communications matter.

Apparently, that principle may not apply to the Prime Minister himself.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Carney has continued using a British cellphone while speaking with foreign leaders. If that reporting is accurate, Canadians deserve answers.

The issue isn’t simply where the phone was purchased; it’s about whether the Prime Minister is following the same security, transparency, and record-keeping standards imposed on everyone else in government, and now on the public. 

Among the questions that should be answered:

  • Communications security: Was the device approved for sensitive government communications under standards established by the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) and Treasury Board?
  • Government records: Were official calls, text messages and other communications retained in accordance with the Library and Archives of Canada Act and federal information management policies?
  • Access to Information: If government business was conducted using a foreign device or foreign telecommunications provider, are those records preserved in a manner that complies with the Access to Information Act, or could they be more difficult for Canadians to obtain?
  • Government device policies: Was the phone issued, managed and secured by the Government of Canada, or was it a personal device used for official business?
  • Foreign jurisdiction: Were official communications routed or stored through infrastructure subject to U.K. law, and what security assessment was conducted before using that device to communicate with foreign leaders?
  • Bill C-22: Why is the government demanding unprecedented oversight of Canadian telecommunications providers on national security grounds while the Prime Minister reportedly relies on a foreign telecommunications provider for his own communications?

Ottawa insists foreign technology, foreign influence and foreign infrastructure pose national security concerns. Yet the Prime Minister himself reportedly chose a foreign cellphone and foreign carrier while conducting international diplomacy.

Tax-Payer Funded NPR Publishes Article on How to Avoid Trump’s Image on Passport

The taxpayer-funded NPR published an article Wednesday explaining how passport applicants can avoid receiving a commemorative passport featuring President Donald Trump’s image.

The special passport, released to mark America’s 250th anniversary, became available Monday at the Washington Passport Agency. It can only be obtained in person and by appointment.

Among those seeking the new design was Alabama resident John Hall, who told NPR he drove to Washington in his “MAGA red” Hyundai hoping to get one because he is a supporter of Trump and wanted the commemorative passport. He was unable to secure an appointment before returning home and said he plans to come back for one of the agency’s upcoming passport events.

Not everyone shared that reaction. Kim Zaninovich of Richmond, Virginia, told NPR she was unhappy after receiving a passport featuring Trump’s image, saying she did not realize there was another option. She described the illustration as showing an “angry look” and said she would have preferred a standard version.

According to NPR, applicants who do not want the commemorative edition can avoid it by requesting a passport with extra pages. NPR added that the State Department said the anniversary design is only offered in the standard 28-page passport book, meaning the larger version does not include Trump’s image.

Despite NPR’s claim that the commemorative passport is only available in the standard 28-page book, the State Department says the anniversary passport is issued only in the standard 26-page passport book, while applicants who request the 50-page version receive the existing design instead.

Elite Judge Sets Tiny Fine for Elite Judge Who Helped Illegal Immigrant Escape ICE

The Democrat-nominated judge who helped an illegal migrant escape from her Wisconsin courtroom has been given a wet-kiss penalty by a judge who used to be a top Democratic politician in the state.

District Judge Lynn Adelman fined Judge Hannah Dugan just $5,000 as he excused her April 2025 crime: “An otherwise good person, upset by immigration enforcement in this country — a view widely shared — made a bad decision in the moment.”

The slap-on-the-wrist penalty comes amid a wave of murder by illegal migrants, and amid the massive economic dislocation to American families caused by migrants’ willingness to work for very low wages.

The “punishment should fit the offender and not merely the crime,” Adelman, the former Democratic Speaker in the state legislature, told the courtroom.

The judge’s statement also rejects the electoral mandate for immigration enforcement earned by populist President Donald Trump from the citizens of the United States in the 2024 general election.

Dugan — a former advocate for more migration — was unapologetic about the crime, saying: “I have been cast as both a scofflaw and as a hero… I am a public servant who was just trying to do my job,” according to the UrbanMilwaukee.com report. The report added:

Dugan told the court that she intends to return to serving the public and her community. She explained her motivation to serve by quoting President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, calling for citizens to take action to preserve and further democracy: “It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work.”

“For someone who has dedicated her life to the law, this [trial] amounts to significant punishment regardless of what I do today,” Adelman told Dugan and the court.

Footage Shows Cop Stalking Woman He Met on a TV Set After Surveilling Her With a License Plate Reader

A police officer speeds 70 MPH down a two-lane highway running over a bridge in the Florida Keys. He passes a dump truck in a no-passing zone, then immediately does it again, crossing over a double-yellow line to pass another truck. He passes a third vehicle, nearly causing a head-on collision with a white pickup truck that veers away from him in the oncoming traffic. The cop keeps driving, and sees the SUV he’s been in pursuit of. He flicks his sirens and lights on and pulls it over.

The cop, Lamar Roman, wasn’t trying to pull over a suspected criminal. He was tracking and chasing a woman that he met and harassed on the set of the AppleTV+ show Bad Monkey, which he had worked a security detail shift on a few weeks prior to pulling her over. After meeting the woman, catcalling her and harassing her for her full name and Instagram details, the cop illegally looked up her vehicle information on DAVID, a Florida Department of Motor Vehicles database for law enforcement. He then put her license plate details on a surveillance “hotlist,” meaning he would get a notification in real time anytime she drove by an AI-powered license plate surveillance camera.

Roman told investigators that he saw the woman as a “shiny thing” and knew that using surveillance tools to track her was illegal, according to police records. He told investigators that “I knew that when I put [her into DAVID], I’m like ‘fuck’ and that’s why I stopped right after and nothing else.” But that wasn’t the end of it; he investigated the woman then used a powerful license plate tracking database to find her location and chase her down. In doing so, he also “almost cause[d] a head on collision while passing as a white truck traveling northbound had to veer off the roadway to avoid a collision.”

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear Requests Update on Mitch McConnell’s Health After Rumors He Is ‘Brain Dead’

Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) requested that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “fully update” Kentucky residents on his health status as rumors surfaced that he may be “brain dead.”

In a letter addressed to McConnell, Beshear said that Kentuckians have been concerned about McConnell’s health and his ability to continue to hold his position in the United States Senate. The senator is reported to have been hospitalized since he was admitted on June 14.

“Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the current state of your health and wellbeing, and ability to hold office in the United States Senate,” Beshear wrote. “As Governor, I request that you fully update Kentuckians regarding the current status of your health.”

Beshear’s letter comes after conservative activist Laura Loomer and journalist Desiree Townsend claimed that unnamed sources alleged that “McConnell is officially brain dead.”

“High level source close to the White House tells me Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead,” Loomer wrote in a post on X. “He’s not coming back.”

However, a spokesperson for McConnell told Breitbart News that the senator “appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”

“The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session,” the spokesperson added.

After the rumor surfaced that McConnell was “brain dead,” several people, including CNN’s Scott Jennings,  said they had spoken to him. A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said Thune had also spoken to McConnell.

“I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky,” Jennings wrote in a post on X. “He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history.”

Beshear continued in his letter: “As public officeholders, we have made a commitment to our constituents to do our best to represent them and to always be transparent. I believe this requires clear communication about one’s ability to serve.”

Why are taxpayers paying for pipelines private companies used to build?

Canada’s pipeline sector, once entirely funded by private investment, is now leaning on taxpayer subsidies after years of federal regulatory hurdles.

On Tuesday’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Noah Jarvis, Ontario director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, joined Ezra to discuss two newly floated pipeline proposals — one from Alberta to the Port of Vancouver championed by Prime Minister Mark Carney, and another to Ontario backed by Premiers Doug Ford and Danielle Smith. 

Both projects are expected to require significant government subsidies, in sharp contrast to a decade ago, when private companies competed to build pipelines without a dime of public money, including proposals that were later killed by federal decisions, such as Northern Gateway and Energy East.

“The government is very much in the way right now,” Noah said, pointing to the Impact Assessment Act, passed by the Trudeau government in 2019, and the industrial carbon tax as key barriers driving up the cost of producing Alberta oil.

Noah cited a recent Fraser Institute report suggesting the industrial carbon tax, if it climbs to $140 per tonne, could add roughly 20 percent to the cost of producing a barrel of Alberta oil. Canada, he noted, is the only country that levies such a tax on its oil and gas producers. He urged Smith and Ford to pressure Ottawa to repeal the Impact Assessment Act and roll back the carbon tax, rather than turning to subsidies. 

Ezra questioned why neither proposal has any backing from producers, calling the Vancouver route’s estimated $30-billion price tag “insane,” and describing the Ontario pipeline as “at best, PR gimmicks, and at worst, government white elephants.”

“You don’t have to spend all this money,” Ezra said. “Just get rid of those blockages and blockades and regulations.”

Ten States Enable Vast Majority of Migrant Truckers Who Can’t Speak English

Almost eight-in-ten of the migrant truckers who have been busted for not speaking English got their licenses from just ten states, a new study reveals.

Texas, Florida, and Ohio each sit in the top five of the worst offenders, according to American Truckers United (ATU), showing that this is not just a blue state problem.

The ten states from the largest number of violators to the fewest, includes Texas, California, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Washington, and Colorado. These states account for 77 percent of all violators who have been cited by federal and state officials.

ATU added that the four worst states include Texas, with 29 percent of all violators, California with 14 percent, Florida with ten percent, and Illinois with seven percent.

Of note, Florida does not hand out commercial trucker licenses to illegal migrants and any migrant who gets a CDL license there is verified as a legal foreign resident by DHS. In addition, starting late last year, Texas began pulling CDLs from illegal migrants and has begun the long process of purging them from the system. But it takes time to do this.

Enforcement is also not living up to its claims.

The group also pointed out that these illegal truckers may not be feeling the impact of law enforcement just yet as the group has found instances where migrants are told that their right to drive is revoked in one state via an “out of service order” only to see them simply move to another state and keep on driving.

Worse, these out of service orders have no teeth because the drivers are not arrested, their trucks are not impounded, and their companies are not sanctioned.

The Department of Homeland Security is stepping up the pressure, though, and took to social media this week to proclaim that “If you are in this country illegally you should NOT have a Commercial Driver’s License.”

Surveillance Disguised as Safety: Cars Sold in EU To Spy on Drivers 24/7

As of Tuesday, July 7th, all new cars sold within the European Union are required by law to include an extra spy gadget, whether you want it or not. 

The so-called driver monitoring camera, switched on at all times while the car is running above 20 km/h, and capable of precisely tracking the driver’s eye movements, is part of the now mandatory Advanced Driver Distraction Warning system, or ADDW. 

Its purpose is to detect if the driver falls asleep or gets distracted, and if they look away from the road for a certain amount of time, depending on the speed, the car warns them with a combination of sound, light, or vibration. 

The tech must also be so advanced as to know exactly if the driver is looking at the speedometer or the display screen, for instance, each with its own allowed number of seconds before the system activates. Looking at a phone or turning back to the kids, however, earns an instant warning.

BREAKING:

The EU today introduced the new requirement for all new cars registered in Europe to have installed cameras filming the driver’s face.

The system is called Advanced Driver Distraction Warning, ADDW, and is part of the EU’s General Safety Regulation.

The camera tracks… pic.twitter.com/oqnWXuz0ir— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) July 7, 2026

The idea may be a noble one, as the EU estimated that the new measure will save 25,000 lives by 2038. However, it’s also problematic on multiple fronts. 

Not only is it the latest annoying piece of EU overregulation—tests indicate that the system activates way too often, confuses blinking with drowsiness, and tends to tell drivers to take a break even if they’ve been driving for ten minutes—but the regulation leaves room for plenty of privacy concerns.

On paper, the ADDW should work on a “closed loop” system, meaning all data is processed locally, within the car, and no footage should be uploaded to any third-party server, be it the car manufacturer’s or law enforcement’s. 

However, data privacy experts warned that the implementation might not be so straightforward. 

For one, the EU regulation does not impose any independent audit to ensure that the ADDW systems installed actually operate on a closed-loop basis. Meaning both the car manufacturers and the tech companies selling them these systems could theoretically circumvent the rules and stealthily collect data on drivers.

Secondly, the EU offers little clarity over how the data is handled. We don’t know how much footage the system captures once a “distraction” decision has been made, nor how long that data is stored or when it gets deleted, if it ever does. 

The implications are obvious. The continuous surveillance of the inside of a car can net car companies (or any third party that’s capable of hacking into it) a treasure trove of data that’s too valuable to pass on. Put simply, driver behavior can be turned into precious consumer data to be used internally or sold to the highest bidder.

And this is not just a hypothetical, but something that already happened. In 2024, GM, Honda, Acura, Kia, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi were all caught sharing driver behavior data—including mileage, speed, hard braking, and rapid acceleration—with multiple data brokers. These turned the data into “risk scores” and sold them to insurance companies, which then freely used them to increase their personalized rates by over 20%.

Another investigation in 2023 revealed that Tesla employees had been secretly pulling and sharing video footage made by the forward-facing cameras of their cars, including clips of crashes, road-rage incidents, and even of people getting undressed near their vehicles. 

Now imagine what could go wrong when suddenly millions of European cars all have cameras facing inside. Even if GDPR should protect consumers on paper, it’s only a matter of time until someone gains access to all the sensitive data and footage these cameras capture along the way.

Justice Department Vows Criminal Action Against States that Allow Noncitizens to Vote

The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday threatened states that allow noncitizens to remain on state voter rolls or vote in elections.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division sent letters to election officials across all 50 states, asking the state officials how they intend to comply with federal law to ensure that noncitizens do not vote. The DOJ gave every state five days to respond to the Department’s demands.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon wrote in the letters to state elections officials, “Any election officer, including the chief election officer of the state, who knowingly retains noncitizens on the state’s [state voter registration list] or facilitates noncitizens in receiving and casting ballots could be subject to criminal liability.”

She noted that it is a crime for two or more people to coordinate to deprive Americans of their constitutional rights.

“We encourage you to contact us to discuss what steps your state should take to maintain clean voter lists as required by law,” she continued.

The Justice Department sent their letters to the state elections officials as President Donald Trump has demanded that the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, a bill that would require Americans to show proof of citizenship in person to register to vote. He has vowed not to sign other bills into law unless the Senate passes his election integrity bill. “The Department sent these letters to all 50 states and the District of Columbia, asking for voluntary compliance in a timely manner with their obligations under federal law to ensure only citizens vote in federal elections,” a Justice Department spokesperson said.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said in a statement that “the suggestion that Arizona election officials are failing to do their jobs is simply not supported by the facts.”

“It is insulting to insinuate that the good people at our county recorders’ offices across the state are not doing their jobs correctly,” the Arizona Democrat continued. “Arizona election officials have always worked to ensure that only eligible citizens are registered to vote, and we will continue following Arizona law — not directions that come from political rhetoric or intimidation.”

Breitbart News’s Katherine Hamilton reported about how one case out of Alabama points to how noncitizens vote in American elections.
