Hoaxes about ICE ‘disappearing’ illegals are widespread, as disinformation seeps into the news

Articles / Federal Agencies / Government Hoaxes about ICE ‘disappearing’ illegals are widespread, as disinformation seeps into the news The hoaxes exploit public sympathy, divert limited immigration enforcement resources, and fuel misinformation that undermines trust in federal authorities and in some cases, instigates violence against federal agents carrying out deportation orders. By: After another instance of misinformation or flat-out falsehoods regarding an illegal alien surfaced from The Morning Call, a disturbing pattern has emerged that misleads Americans and causes undue fear for immigrants, both legal and illegal, across the country. The article last week reported falsely that Luis Leon, an 82-year-old Chilean national living in Allentown, Pennsylvania, “disappeared” after visiting a Philadelphia immigration office in June to replace his lost green card, where he was allegedly handcuffed and taken away without explanation, officials said. His family claimed that they were unable to locate him through immigration officials or Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) detainee database, and was falsely informed of his death, only to later learn he was in fact detained in Minnesota and then transferred to a hospital in Guatemala. Discrepancies emerged when the Guatemalan Institute of Migration denied receiving anyone matching Leon’s details, and a Chilean reporter, José María del Pino, claimed the real Luis Leon died in Chile in 2019, with the circulating photo belonging to another person altogether. The narrative always runs ahead of the truth, but left-leaning media doesn’t care The Leon family’s narrative, amplified by left-leaning outlets like The Guardian and Daily Beast, included claims of a mysterious caller falsely reporting Leon’s death in ICE custody, but the family stopped communicating with the media after scrutiny. In another hoax, Yuriana Julia “Juli” Pelaez Calderon, a 41-year-old illegal immigrant, was charged with conspiracy and making false statements for orchestrating a fake kidnapping by supposed ICE agents to scam donations and discredit federal law enforcement. On June 30, her family and attorneys claimed she was ambushed at a Los Angeles Jack in the Box, taken to San Ysidro, and pressured to self-deport, sparking a GoFundMe campaign that raised $80 before being shut down. The family and their attorneys held press conferences, where their claims were eagerly repeated by local media. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) denied the kidnapping claims, and surveillance footage and phone records confirmed the story was a hoax, showing Calderon freely leaving the restaurant. DHS criticized politicians and media for amplifying the false narrative, which diverted resources from legitimate enforcement efforts. Calderon faces up to five years in prison per charge if convicted, with potential additional charges for others involved. Social media’s appetite for disinformation In another disturbing incident of disinformation, in a TikTok post with over 800,000 views, a woman says, “They’re throwing the deportees out of the planes and into the ocean. […] they’re shackling people, flying out into open ocean and throwing them out. The flight patterns, there is people tracking them on this app, the flights going out with the deportees. Watching them go out to the open ocean and circle back. A family in Italy saw five shackled bodies wash up on the shore.” These claims have surged on social media since the original posting, and got millions of views before others posted comments noting that the claims were wholly unsubstantiated. Historians argue about whether the adage was coined by Mark Twain or not, but it is oft-repeated that “a lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on.” TOP STORIES Hoaxes about ICE ‘disappearing’ illegals are widespread, as disinformation seeps into the news US Olympic Committee bends to Trump, bars trans athletes from women’s competition Trump signals he may designate organizers, financial backers of violent ICE protests as terrorists Trump embraces special prosecutor for weaponization probe and Epstein, vows new declassifications Growing tariff revenues, court rulings raise hopes Trump could put U.S. on path to balanced budget LATEST EPISODES Intel Cover-Up & Corruption: Two Insiders Tell All From Years of Obama-Era Coup Attempts & Epstein Scandal FBI Secrets, Federal Assets & the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing: The Truth About John Doe No. 2 Mike Davis: ‘Go forward with indictments,’ all Dems part of Russia Hoax should ‘lawyer up, justice is coming’ The Conservative Crackdown: Republicans Confront Lawlessness, Antisemitism & Deep State Bias Exclusive with President Trump: Jeffrey Epstein, Hillary Clinton, Jerome Powell, FBI, no topic off limits RELATED ARTICLES Hoaxes about ICE ‘disappearing’ illegals are widespread, as disinformation seeps into the news US Olympic Committee bends to Trump, bars trans athletes from women’s competition Trump signals he may designate organizers, financial backers of violent ICE protests as terrorists Trump embraces special prosecutor for weaponization probe and Epstein, vows new declassifications Growing tariff revenues, court rulings raise hopes Trump could put U.S. on path to balanced budget Texas firefighters on Austin fire chief: ‘dereliction of duty’ cost lives Texas Land Commissioner says the camps did everything they could to avoid the flood’s tragic rage Food manufacturers rush to remove certain food dyes to comply with new FDA guidance Trump’s fight to keep non-citizens off voter rolls reignites in second term Hegseth announces new intel on US bombing Iran, criticizes media for pushing preliminary report

US Olympic Committee bends to Trump, bars trans athletes from women’s competition

chadadmin / July 24, 2025

America / Articles / Culture US Olympic Committee bends to Trump, bars trans athletes from women’s competition The USOPC’s rule intensifies the debate over transgender athletes’ participation in women’s sports, raising issues of fairness and safety as legal battles and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics loom. By: The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced a major change on Monday, barring transgender athletes from competing in women’s competition, which will go into effect for the 2028 Olympic Games in California, where opposition to such biological standards has been fierce. The decision comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February called “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The USOPC updated its Athlete Safety Policy on its website, telling sports groups like those for swimming, track, and fencing to follow the new rule. They say it’s because they’re a federally funded group and have to listen to the government after some “respectful” talks with officials. The National College Athletics Association (NCAA) has already made a similar move, only allowing athletes born female to compete in women’s sports. The issue of transgender athletes in sports has been a flashpoint for both sides of the political aisle. During the 2024 election and even as recently as May, it’s clear where the American public stands on the issue. A Gallup poll conducted May 1-18 which surveyed 1003 adults found that 69% of respondents favor trans athletes competing based on their birth gender. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) formerly allowed transgender athletes to compete if they had undergone hormone therapy, starting back in 2004, and they loosened the rules in 2021 to be more inclusive. Many believe that transgender females (biological males) who went through male puberty have a biological edge, so sports like swimming, cycling, and track have been tightening their rules. The poll noted that while “Democrats are currently divided on the issue, they do rank among the groups most in favor of allowing transgender athletes to play on the team that corresponds to their current gender identity. Political liberals are the lone major subgroup showing majority (57%) support for allowing transgender athletes to choose which team to play on.” The IOC, now led by Kirsty Coventry, says it’s all about protecting women’s sports, but each sport can make its own call. Some, like World Athletics and World Aquatics, already block transgender women who transitioned after puberty, while others, like soccer, are still figuring out testosterone rules. The 2028 Summer Olympics will take place in California, against the backdrop of one of the nation’s states most opposed to Trump’s transgender athlete policies. The Golden State has staunchly defied the Trump administration’s efforts to ban transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports by upholding its own 2013 law allowing students to compete based on their declared gender identity. The state rejected a June Department of Education directive to bar transgender girls within 10 days, and filed a preemptive lawsuit through California Attorney General Rob Bonta against the Justice Department’s claim of Title IX violations. Despite federal lawsuits and threats to withhold billions in education funding, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) introduced a pilot program in May to balance inclusion by allowing additional cisgender female athletes to qualify for state championships if displaced by transgender athletes. Newsom’s administration has doubled down on its commitment to state law over federal law. Ironic still were his March 2025 remarks calling transgender participation “deeply unfair,” which predictably sparked outrage from the trans community. The new rule is not without controversy. Proponents of the pilot program, including several Republican lawmakers, support the measure, arguing it ensures fairness and safety in women’s sports, and aligns with Trump’s executive order threatening funding cuts for organizations permitting transgender athletes to compete. Conversely, organizations like the National Women’s Law Center have criticized the rule as discriminatory, claiming it undermines the safety and inclusion of transgender athletes. As the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics approach, the rule’s implications for athletes remain uncertain and the ongoing debate over fairness and scientific considerations continues to intensify.

Trump signals he may designate organizers, financial backers of violent ICE protests as terrorists

chadadmin / July 18, 2025

America / Articles / Crime Trump signals he may designate organizers, financial backers of violent ICE protests as terrorists Officially designating an organization as a terrorist organization has significant legal, political, and social consequences. By: President Donald Trump says that if the violent Immigration and Customs Enforcement riots happening across the country are discovered to have central organizers or professional backing he would designate them foreign or domestic terror organizations, similar to what he did with Mexican cartels in February. “I would do that, and in a minute,” Trump told Just the News, No Noise television show Wednesday. I would do that.” Officially designating an organization as a terrorist group in the U.S. criminalizes providing material support, freezes assets, and restricts travel for members and supporters under laws such as the PATRIOT Act. The designation also allows for enhanced law enforcement surveillance, investigations, and federal resource deployment while signaling a security threat domestically and internationally. However, it can also polarize public opinion and, for foreign groups, may lead to global sanctions, though domestic designations are rare due to free speech concerns. In June, Just The News reported that the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a self-described Communist revolutionary group with ties to a China-linked Marxist funding network, has been leading nationwide protests against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdowns on illegal immigration, including demonstrations in Los Angeles that escalated into riots. The PSL, which openly advocates for the overthrow of the American system and supports Communist regimes, has organized anti-ICE protests in such U.S. cities as Chicago, San Francisco and Austin, Texas, while also promoting a “Don’t Open for ICE” campaign. Trump deployed the Marines and California National Guard from Camp Pendleton to help local law enforcement to restore order earlier this summer in Los Angeles, where PSL-organized protests turned chaotic. The group condemned the Guard presence as an attempt to suppress First Amendment rights, urging continued protests against what it calls Trump’s “war on immigrants.” Trump, who often speaks about his support for law and order, signaled that he was affected by the violence happening against ICE officers trying to do their jobs and carry out lawful deportation orders. “I watched last week as they were throwing rocks at brand-new cars – Border Patrol. And I saw that, and I gave them total authorization to stop their car and do whatever is necessary to arrest those people. Use whatever you have to use to arrest them,” he recently said. PSL’s activities are reportedly financially supported by Neville Roy Singham, a Marxist businessman who funds far-left groups like the People’s Forum, which shares close ties with PSL. The group has been linked to pro-Communist causes, celebrating regimes like those in China and Cuba while defending Palestinian-affiliated Hamas’ October 2023 attacks on Israel. PSL’s “Liberation School” promotes Marxist ideology, and its merchandise glorifies Communist figures and revolutions. Despite denying ties to a recent Washington, D.C., shooting by a former associate, PSL’s revolutionary rhetoric and Singham’s funding network have drawn scrutiny for their connections to global Marxist movements. In another instance of communist connections, Just The News reported that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a former leader of the Venceremos Brigade (VB), a pro-Communist Cuba group tied to Cuban intelligence and linked to violent groups like the Weather Underground, has deep historical ties to far-left activism, having traveled to Cuba multiple times in the 1970s as part of the brigade. U.S. intelligence agencies have described the VB as a Cuban intelligence operation aimed at recruiting politically oriented Americans to influence U.S. government positions. The VB, which Bass described as an “educational project” to foster ties with Cuban society, is now fiscally sponsored by Singham’s The People’s Forum. Trump concluded by extending unlimited permission to his border czar and said, “I called Tom Homan, and I authorized him to do whatever he has to do.” TOP STORIES Trump signals he may designate organizers, financial backers of violent ICE protests as terrorists Trump embraces special prosecutor for weaponization probe and Epstein, vows new declassifications Growing tariff revenues, court rulings raise hopes Trump could put U.S. on path to balanced budget Texas firefighters on Austin fire chief: ‘dereliction of duty’ cost lives Texas Land Commissioner says the camps did everything they could to avoid the flood’s tragic rage LATEST EPISODES Exclusive with President Trump: Jeffrey Epstein, Hillary Clinton, Jerome Powell, FBI, no topic off limits FBI investigates government weaponization in sweeping ‘grand conspiracy’ case, special counsel possible Nearing 1yr anniversary of Trump assassination attempt, journalist Salena Zito talks her new book, “Butler” American Farmland, Virtual Liberty & Social Media: Trump’s Strategy Against China’s Malign Influence Apocalyptic flooding kills more than 90, Texas Land Commissioner says ‘this was a storm you can’t fathom’ RELATED ARTICLES Trump signals he may designate organizers, financial backers of violent ICE protests as terrorists Trump embraces special prosecutor for weaponization probe and Epstein, vows new declassifications Growing tariff revenues, court rulings raise hopes Trump could put U.S. on path to balanced budget Texas firefighters on Austin fire chief: ‘dereliction of duty’ cost lives Texas Land Commissioner says the camps did everything they could to avoid the flood’s tragic rage Food manufacturers rush to remove certain food dyes to comply with new FDA guidance Trump’s fight to keep non-citizens off voter rolls reignites in second term Hegseth announces new intel on US bombing Iran, criticizes media for pushing preliminary report Trump’s next battlefields: a NATO-snubbing Spain and a conflicted U.S. intel community Trump bombed Iran into a ceasefire and sent a loud message to China and Russia America / Articles / Crime Add Your Heading Text Here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Trump embraces special prosecutor for weaponization probe and Epstein, vows new declassifications

chadadmin / July 17, 2025

Accountability / Articles / Political Ethics Trump embraces special prosecutor for weaponization probe and Epstein, vows new declassifications Trump said such a probe could cover the FBI abuses during the now-disgraced Russia collusion probe against him, the bureau’s failure to probe intelligence of a Chinese plot to help Joe Biden in the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots and former Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s pursuit of multiple cases against him. By: President Donald Trump on Wednesday embraced the FBI’s decision to open a conspiracy probe into a decade of alleged intelligence abuses and weaponized law enforcement, suggesting it could be led by a special prosecutor and even delve into “credible evidence” in the Jeffrey Epstein case in order to give Americans a greater dose of transparency and accountability. He also vowed to declassify two highly sensitive pieces of intelligence to help further the prosecutor’s efforts. “Well, I’m happy that they did that,” Trump said during a wide-ranging interview with the Just the News, No Noise television show when asked about the FBI’s decision a few weeks ago to open a probe that examines abuses from 2016 to 2024 by Democrats and government officials as a continuing criminal conspiracy. “I don’t know much about it, but it deserves to be done.” “It was a disgrace what happened, what happened in 2016 and what happened in 2020. It’s a disgraceful situation,” he said. “And our voting has to be straightened out. I always say if you don’t have borders, if you don’t have fair and free voting, you don’t have a country.” Unprompted, Trump then volunteered on his own that a special prosecutor – if one is appointed by Justice – to look at weaponization could also delve into “anything credible” on Jeffrey Epstein and his files to make sure Americans have a full accounting. “I think they could look at all of it. It’s all the same scam. They could look at this Jeffrey Epstein hoax also, because that’s the same stuff that’s all put out by Democrats,” Trump said, when asked what he’d most like to see the FBI investigate. When pressed whether he was comfortable with a special prosecutor on weaponization also looking at Epstein, he answered, “They’ve already looked at it, and they are looking at it, and I think all they have to do is put out anything credible.” The Trump administration vowed to release all remaining evidence in the now-deceased financier’s sex scandal and prosecutions, but its early efforts were hampered by missteps by Attorney General Pam Bondi, which created distrust in the MAGA base. Trump has defended Bondi in the face of heavy criticism but it hasn’t silenced the outcry. In fact, when the FBI and DOJ sent out a memo concluding Epstein did commit suicide in prison and did not leave behind a ledger/client list of the people whom he entertained with young female escorts, many prominent conservatives openly cast doubt and derision on the findings. Now Democrats have joined the chorus. While Trump opened the door for Bondi to appoint the prosecutor and include Epstein in the scope, Trump also blasted MAGA conservatives who have obsessed about Epstein for weeks with speculation on social media, saying it only gave oxygen to Democrats to distract from the administration’s priorities. “You know, some of the naive Republicans fall right into line, like they always do. They just don’t have the sustainability. … There’s something they don’t have, that stick to it like glue,” he said. “The Democrats, you know, they have bad policy, they have bad candidates, they have bad everything, but they stick together. The Republicans don’t do that.” “But they ought to look into the Jeffrey Epstein hoax too, because that’s another hoax that’s frankly, put out by the Democrats pushing, pushing the Republicans, and put out by the Democrats,” he added. Trump said he fears prior officials inside the FBI and intelligence agencies may have doctored files about Epstein to either protect Democrats or harm Republicans. “I can imagine what they put into files, just like they did with the others. I mean, the Steele dossier was a total fake, right? It took two years to figure that out,” he said. “So I would imagine if they were run by (former FBI director) Chris Wray and they were run by (former FBI director James) Comey, and because it was actually even before that administration, they’ve been running these files, and so much of the things that we found were fake.” He finished by assuring the MAGA base that he has no desire to prevent further investigation or transparency and hopes the idea of a special prosecutor who can look at both weaponization and Epstein satisfies Americans’ concerns. “So frankly, you know, I think I love that they’re looking at all this stuff. If they are, I hope they are.” Trump also flatly stated he would declassify two long-secret intelligence files to help the prosecution. The first is a classified annex to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report into the FBI’s mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has been pressing for the release of that evidence, saying it will show U.S. intelligence received new evidence of possible criminal wrongdoing before then-FBI director James Comey cleared Clinton and the bureau never investigated it. “I would do that. Absolutely. I think it should be looked at,” he answered. “The whole thing was a scam, yeah. And I would do that gladly.” The second piece of evidence is a classified annex to Russiagate Special Prosecutor John Durham’s final report called the “Clinton Plan intelligence,” which was a U.S. intelligence intercept suggesting Hillary Clinton had personally approved a plan to concoct a Russia collusion scandal against Trump. That intercept was captured before the FBI opened up its Russia probe, and lawmakers and Durham have suggested it would provide damning evidence to any prosecutor. “I will absolutely declassify it,” he said when asked about the annex.

Growing tariff revenues, court rulings raise hopes Trump could put U.S. on path to balanced budget

chadadmin / July 16, 2025

Articles / Government / White House Growing tariff revenues, court rulings raise hopes Trump could put U.S. on path to balanced budget Eliminating $2 trillion annual deficit would require increasing revenue, decreasing spending, or a combination of the two. By: Considered by some to be a pie-in-the-sky aspiration of fiscal conservatives, President Donald Trump is now raising hopes that he can use growing tariff revenues, rescission spending cuts and new court rulings shrinking government to put the nation on a path toward a long-elusive balanced budget. “I’m looking at these dollars every single day, and it’s an exciting time to make sure that we are taking a crack at this $37 trillion of debt that we’re placing on the back of our children and future generations,” Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La., a House Appropriations Committee member, told Just the News on Tuesday. Letlow praised Trump for her rising enthusiasm, saying voters “have a president that is committed to making sure that we have an America that will prosper again. He is setting us on that course. He’s done it once before. He’s doing it again.” With the help of Vice President JD Vance, the Senate took a major step Tuesday night toward new spending cuts, advancing a rescissions package to trim $9 billion from the federal budget, including subsidies for National Public Radio and PBS. The House has already approved the legislation. The courts are also empowering Trump to cut deeper with layoffs and restructuring of federal agencies. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision in McMahon v. State of New York, lifting a lower court injunction that blocked Trump’s plan to lay off around 1,400 employees within the Department of Education. The ruling allows the Trump administration to proceed with planned mass layoffs, which had been halted by a federal judge in May. U.S. District Judge Myong Joun ruled that the layoffs, as part of an effort to dismantle the Department of Education, required congressional authorization and ordered the reinstatement of the fired workers. The Supreme Court disagreed and overturned the lower court’s decision. The Supreme Court also lifted a lower court order July 8 that blocked Trump’s executive order calling for large-scale reductions in the federal workforce, known as “reductions in force” (RIFs). The 6-3 decision, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting, allows the administration to resume its plans for mass layoffs across agencies like the Departments of Commerce, Health and Human Services (HHS), Agriculture, State, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs. The Court stated that the administration was likely to succeed in arguing that the executive order and related memoranda were legal, though it did not rule on the ultimate legality of the layoffs. This decision was a significant step toward Trump’s goal of downsizing the federal bureaucracy, moving ever-closer to a balanced budget. The Supreme Court also ruled to allow the Department of Government (DOGE) to proceed with utilizing Social Security records to conduct its work of identifying and eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. The decision allows DOGE to utilize sensitive records with fewer transparency requirements as it also seeks to downsize the federal government. Tariffs could greatly enhance the impact of government cuts proposed by the Trump administration and codified in the recently-passed “One Big, Beautiful Bill” with new revenues. As of July 1, the United States has reaped $106.1 billion dollars in tariff revenue. If the same pace and level of tariffs remain the same, that would translate to around $300 billion added to Treasury annually. Rescissions could also prove to be a fruitful way of clawing back tax dollars. Numerous members of Congress, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., have indicated that the $9 billion rescission package would be the “first of many,” possibly compounding savings for the American people. Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., who sits on the powerful Budget, Rules and Financial Services committees, told Just The News, “We’ve got a math problem in Congress. We spend too much. I hope we can keep them [rescission packages] coming and show the American people that since we have the House, the Senate and the White House, that we mean what we say, and we’re true conservatives. I’m excited about it.” Balancing the budget has been a clarion call for Republicans on the campaign trail and on the floor of Congress for decades, as fiscal conservatives try to get America’s spending under manageable control. Their detractors argue that strict adherence to a balanced budget can limit necessary investments or economic stimulus, especially during economic downturns like under former President Joe Biden. The fight for fiscal responsibility looms large for many because of the burden on future generations. The last time the federal government’s revenue matched its expenditures was in 2001 when the budget recorded a surplus of $128 billion. Trump will most assuredly have more battles ahead on Capitol Hill to get further rescission packages over the finish line. Republicans in both chambers will need substantially more intestinal fortitude to make that happen before next year’s midterm elections. But by padding the treasury with tariff revenue and decreasing the federal workforce, which subsequently reduces costs associated with payroll, resources and facilities, a balanced budget may be more than a pipe dream under Trump.

Texas firefighters on Austin fire chief: ‘dereliction of duty’ cost lives

chadadmin / July 12, 2025

America / Articles / Extremism / Local / Politics & Policy Texas firefighters on Austin fire chief: ‘dereliction of duty’ cost lives As the death toll from the central Texas floods surpasses 120 with 170 still missing, Austin’s fire chief is in the crosshairs of firefighters who claim his refusal to respond and assist in the rescue effort cost lives. By: The fire chief in Austin, Texas, a city known as a liberal hipster hub in a deep red state, is under sharp scrutiny for refusing to provide assistance in the days preceding the catastrophic and deadly central Texas floods last weekend. Austin Fire Department chief Joel Baker was the subject of scorn by his own firefighters’ union, the Austin Firefighters Association, which posted scathing remarks on social media about Baker during and in the aftermath of the floods that thus far have taken 121 lives, many of them children, with at least 170 people still missing. “It brings the Austin Firefighters no pleasure to report to the community that the Austin Fire Chief DENIED the deployment of Austin firefighters to Kerrville until very late into the event (so today!), with the exception of only 3 AFD rescue swimmers who helped staff helo teams (which still were NOT deployed until the afternoon of the 4th),” the post stated. “Helo teams” is jargon for specialized helicopter rescue units, specializing in emergency response capabilities for water-related emergencies. All about money allegedly owed to the city? The post goes on to explain that Austin’s Firefighter Special Operations teams are trained for specific challenges, just like the Hill Country floods where swift water rescue is required. The union’s post goes on to place blame squarely on Baker’s shoulders: “It is absolutely outrageous that the Austin Fire Chief, Joel G. Baker, would not allow highly trained firefighters from Austin to respond to Kerrville. Because of this egregious dereliction of duty, LIVES WERE VERY LIKELY LOST BECAUSE OF CHIEF BAKER’S DECISION!” According to the Facebook post, requests for assistance came from the state of Texas on July 2, two days prior to the floods, and another request on July 3, both of which were denied by Baker. “It is unforgivable that a fire chief would NOT allow his firefighters to answer the call to save lives,” the post continued. The firefighters also asked rhetorically: “Why would Fire Chief Joel G. Baker do this, you may ask? It was a misguided attempt to save money. I say “misguided” because the fire department is fully reimbursed by the state to deploy. I explained the reimbursement process to Chief Baker last week, and he failed to understand this very simple concept.” The criticism came after the Austin Fire Department announced it would not deploy personnel outside of Austin because of a budget shortfall, including “something like $800,000 in outstanding reimbursements owed to AFD by the State of Texas,” according to local station KXAN-TV. The TV station also reported that Baker said he issued the pause on deployments due to “internal issues” over the state’s ability to reimburse the department, insisting that budget constraints had “nothing” to do with his decision-making. Other cities answered the call CBS News reported that fire and rescue departments from North Texas heeded the call to assist: Fort Worth Fire Department sent two teams and Dallas Fire-Rescue deployed a water squad of six people. Other departments in the surrounding area also sent support: Mountain Home Fire Department, Ingram Volunteer Fire Department, Denton Fire Department, Houston Fire Department, and Galveston Fire Department were actively involved. Texas A&M Forest Service deployed Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System strike teams to assist local fire departments, indicating a broader network of fire service involvement. Surrounding states also sent support: Shreveport, Louisiana, and Memphis, Tennessee deployed teams to contribute to the efforts. Additionally, international teams also came to aid in the search and rescue efforts: a team of 13 firefighters from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, through Fundación 911, assisted in Kerr County. The city comes to Baker’s defense The Austin Fire Department responded to the allegations by telling the local Fox television affiliate that “The decision about how to allocate resources to help our fellow Texans is not a simple one. It requires communication from public safety partners on the ground to ensure we are providing resources and personnel when, where and how they are most needed.” “The Austin Fire Department must also prioritize having sufficient resources in our own community given the unpredictability of this weekend’s storms and the risk for catastrophic flooding in our immediate area,” the department said. Austin City Manager T.C. Broadnax issued a statement addressing the accusations, saying “It is disappointing that the Firefighters Association would make these allegations and consider such a vote, especially while these communities continue to grieve and recover.” “It’s even more disheartening how quickly the Association’s claims spread, because so many people are ready to place blame. The City of Austin, and the Austin Fire Department in particular, have a very long track record of supporting and sending aid to neighboring communities in need,” he continued. “No confidence” vote “To be clear, I continue to have confidence in Chief Baker and remain committed to listening and working with both the Chief and the Fire Association to ensure that the Austin Fire Department is able to continue supporting our neighbors while protecting our local community,” the City Manager added. The union held an “emergency” meeting Tuesday, voting unanimously to hold a vote of no confidence in Baker, The New York Post reported. “We could’ve made a difference, and we were forced to stand down and lives were lost,” the union said. Donations supporting relief and rebuilding efforts after the flood are being collected, and the local Fox affiliate has created a web page in conjunction with The Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity serving the Texas Hill Country.

On Friday, catastrophic flash flooding struck central Texas, claiming more than 100 lives and leaving dozens missing after torrential rains overwhelmed the Guadalupe River, officials said. Kerr County bore the brunt of the disaster, with 75 deaths, including 27 children, many from Camp Mystic, a century-old Christian summer camp for girls in Hunt, Texas. The Guadalupe River surged 26 feet in 45 minutes, sweeping away homes, vehicles, and campsites, with up to 15 inches of rain falling in hours. President Donald Trump signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County, and search-and-rescue operations, involving helicopters, drones, and boats — with help from the famous volunteer “Cajun Navy” of Hurricane Katrina fame — continued amid ongoing rain and flood warnings. Timeline of warnings On Wednesday and Thursday, a series of emergency weather alerts were issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) and Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM). Despite a decades-long history of flash floods in the Texas Hill Country, and a 1987 flash flood that killed 10 teenagers at a Christian Camp in neighboring Kendall County, Kerr County didn’t have an emergency warning system in place. The NWS-Austin/San Antonio issued a Flood Watch Wednesday for several counties, including Kerr County and the NWS-San Angelo also issued a flood watch for several counties. The Texas Division of Emergency Management activated state emergency response resources through 10 state agencies, anticipating increased threats of flooding in West and Central Texas ahead of the holiday weekend. At 1:14 AM on Friday, the NWS Austin/San Antonio issued a “life threatening flash flooding” warning for Bandera and Kerr counties stating, “Some locations that will experience flash flooding include, Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt, Waltonia, Kerr Wildlife Management Area, and Lost Maples State Natural Area.” Region’s natural vulnerability to flooding Buckingham talked about the challenges of this particular flood area and said, “it’s very hilly. It’s very rocky soil, not a lot of topsoil. So it is definitely prone to flash floods. That being said, I don’t think anyone has seen water of this level, 25 to 30 feet above. The normal river banks in over 100 years in this section of the river, the loss is devastating.” “East of [interstate] 35 gets almost twice the rain as they get just a few miles west of I-35,” she said, “then you get out to West Texas, and you have places that only get six to 10 inches of rain a year, very desert conditions. But when it does rain in the desert, when it does rain in more arid and semi-arid areas, the water stacks up pretty quickly and does some pretty impressive things.” Kerr County is about 100 miles east of I-35. More preparedness going forward Criticism has erupted over inadequate flood warnings and alleged staffing shortages at the National Weather Service, though officials maintain warnings were issued hours before the disaster. Texas Governor Greg Abbott pledged limitless state resources throughout the weekend, as volunteers and first responders, including the Texas National Guard, worked to locate survivors and recover victims. In defense of the camp leadership, who should have received the warnings and evacuation orders, Buckingham said, “normally, when you get that flash flood warning across your phone, which we get pretty frequently, you just think it’s going to be a couple feet, and you’re not going to drive across low water crossings. It doesn’t mean that the water is going to come up 25 to 30 feet in roughly an hour. Here, in the wee hours of the morning, you also have to realize where this flooding happened. A lot of people, there’s no cell service there. So even if the emergency notices had gone out, a lot of the cell phones aren’t working there anyway.” Looking forward, Buckingham is supportive of exploring other means of preparedness: “I think we’ll take a look. I think there’s always the benefit of hindsight. Could we do something better in the future, maybe with some new technologies? But the state resources recognized early that the storm was going to be a serious matter. Texas Department of Emergency Management was moving resources into the area before the storm even hit. They were ready to go the second that it was going to be a problem.” Social media, disinformation and politicization Politicization quickly stained the already tragic incident. Democrats in Congress wasted no time in connecting the tragedy to Trump’s budget cuts. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded that the administration conduct an inquiry into whether staffing shortages contributed to “the catastrophic loss of life” in Texas. “Accurate weather forecasting helps avoid fatal disasters,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said in a post on X. “There are consequences to Trump’s brainless attacks on public workers, like meteorologists.” Contradicting that narrative, in fact, the National Weather Service office in New Braunfels, which delivers forecasts for Austin, San Antonio and the surrounding areas, had extra staff on duty during the storms, an NWS spokesperson told the Associated Press. Part of the anti-Trump narrative was engendered on social media by misinformation created by GrokAI, according to PJ Media’s Stephen Green. Reportedly, when users asked the artifical intelligence system: “Did two dozen young girls die in Texas flooding in part because Trump gutted NOAA and the National Weather Service?” the AI responded: “Yes. Trump’s 2025 cuts slashed NOAA/NWS funding by ~30% and staff by 17%, impairing forecast accuracy. Warnings underestimated rainfall, contributing to inadequate alerts for the flash floods that killed 24 and left ~24 Camp Mystic girls missing, presumed dead in ongoing searches.” The uglier side of social media made an appearance when Dr.

Food manufacturers rush to remove certain food dyes to comply with new FDA guidance

chadadmin / July 5, 2025

Articles / Federal Agencies / Government / Health / Politics & Policy Food manufacturers rush to remove certain food dyes to comply with new FDA guidance Americans are increasingly demanding that chemicals and toxic food dyes be removed from items they consume, clean with, wear, apply to their skin and use in their homes. By: In compliance with directives from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many of the nation’s largest food conglomerates have announced preemptive efforts to remove artificial food dyes from their products. Thus far, Kraft Heinz, General Mills, Tyson Foods, Nestlé, Conagra Brands, Walmart and Sam’s Club, and PepsiCo have announced discontinuation or an intent to discontinue use of the food dyes prior to the advised deadline. The announcements come after the FDA and HHS urged a phase-out of petroleum-based synthetic food dyes from the U.S. food supply. On April 22, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA commissioner Marty Makary announced measures to eliminate these dyes by the end of 2026, primarily through voluntary industry compliance rather than a formal mandate. Kennedy: “Real, measurable dangers” The FDA is also revoking approval for the use of specific dyes, such as Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B, and encouraging faster removal of FD&C Green No. 3, Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5 and No. 6, Blue No.1 and No.2, with a prior deadline set for January 2027. In a statement accompanying the new guidelines, Kennedy said, “For too long, some food producers have been feeding Americans petroleum-based chemicals without their knowledge or consent. These poisonous compounds offer no nutritional benefit and pose real, measurable dangers to our children’s health and development.” “That era is coming to an end. We’re restoring gold-standard science, applying common sense, and beginning to earn back the public’s trust. And we’re doing it by working with industry to get these toxic, dies out of the foods our families eat every day.” The FDA is simultaneously fast-tracking the review of natural alternatives to synthetic food dyes such as calcium phosphate, Galdieria extract blue, gardenia blue, and butterfly pea flower extract. According to recent CivicScience data, 79% of U.S. adults at least “somewhat” support the FDA’s plan to phase out certain artificial food dyes, significantly outnumbering the 21% who are at least “somewhat” opposed. Parents of children over 12 show stronger support for the phase-out than those with younger children, despite younger kids potentially being more vulnerable to the health impacts of these dyes. Not the expected “health food” demographic Support is highest among Republicans, the demographic most closely aligned with Kenney’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. Additionally, high-income individuals (earning $100,000+ annually), adults 65+, men, and those with graduate or professional degrees are more supportive of the dye removals than their counterparts. The transition to natural food dyes could prove to be bumpy with a lot of trial-and-error. Winner of the cooking competition TV show “Master Chef,” Whitney Miller, who founded Whitney’s Cookies in Franklin, Tennessee, experienced similar struggles when she decided to make all of her products with natural ingredients. “I did have to research and try to find the best ones, because there really wasn’t a lot of options out there. I think now, hopefully, as people are talking about it more, and we’re pushing everyone to change over, there will be more options. But it is a little bit of a research struggle,” she told Just The News. Miller said it can also depend on what color a manufacturer is seeking. She said it’s a little bit easier with certain dyes like pink or red, in which case “there are strawberries that are freeze-dried, that you can pulverize and make a natural color.” However, other colors are trickier, like blue. Blueberries produce a purple color, not blue, so Miller ultimately formulated her own blue dye. According to Miller, the medium matters as well. “You have to test in the market when you’re putting them [dyes] in, whether it be ice cream or whether it be a baked good. Baking is a science, cooking is a science. And when you’re getting into these natural dyes, it’s going to perform differently in a baked item than it is in an ice cream or a drink.” Supply of natural colors a challenge For large companies like General Mills and PepsiCo, Miller said, “that’s where these different companies are going to have to do a lot of testing and figure out what can work best for them.” When asked about the suppliers of the natural food dyes, Miller said, “I’ve only seen one, one supplier. So that’s gonna be tough.” Volume will also be a complicating factor for large manufacturers who will require large amounts of the dyes. Miller said she has often had to seek out natural dye suppliers in Canada, which could further complicate the supply chain depending on what transpires with President Donald Trump’s trade talks with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Trump’s fight to keep non-citizens off voter rolls reignites in second term

chadadmin / June 30, 2025

All Things Trump / Articles / Elections / Politics & Policy Trump’s fight to keep non-citizens off voter rolls reignites in second term Part one of President Donald Trump’s battle to keep illegal aliens off voter rolls began near the end of his first term and will likely come hurtling back in the near future. By: The Supreme Court has never made a determination on the legal merits of the argument that noncitizens should not be counted in the United States census, but may soon be forced to do so. The fight to clarify the census and subsequently adjust congressional seats, Electoral College votes and federal funding, is coming down the pike, according to White House deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller. Miller indicated last month that he’s eager to dive straight in and that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will help lead the effort. Trump has at his disposal a number of avenues to accomplish his goal, one of which includes Lutnick’s agency. Utilizing this route, the Commerce Department could propose adding a census question to distinguish citizens, legal permanent residents, and unauthorized immigrants, as suggested by a lawsuit filed by Republican-led states and the Department of Commerce in January 2025. The data could then be used to exclude noncitizens from apportionment, though not necessarily from the overall count. Republican support for this approach is growing, with bills introduced by Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., and Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., to mandate a citizenship question and thus exclude noncitizens from apportionment. A GOP-controlled Congress could facilitate approval of such questions, due by 2028. The Supreme Court’s 2019 ruling rejected the citizenship question due to procedural issues, and demanded a stronger justification for having the case reviewed by the Supreme Court before going to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Amending the Census Act is an option Furthermore, Trump could work with Congress to pass legislation amending the Census Act to exclude noncitizens from apportionment counts or mandate a citizenship question. Bills like those proposed by Edwards and Hagerty aim to achieve this, but such legislation would need to redefine “persons” in the 14th Amendment’s apportionment clause to exclude noncitizens, a significant departure from historical practice. It could also direct the Census Bureau to use citizen-only data for apportionment. With a Republican-controlled Congress, the winds are now more favorable. Passage is significantly more likely than in 2020, when a similar House bill passed on a party-line vote (206-202) but stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate. President Donald Trump, on his first day in office, rescinded a Biden-era executive order on January 20, 2025, which had reaffirmed counting all residents regardless of immigration status, signaling intent to revisit this policy. With a GOP-controlled Congress, there may be less political resistance to try again. Additionally, preparations for the 2030 census will begin during Trump’s second term, and federal law requires proposed census questions to be submitted to Congress two years prior, which gives a window to influence the process. Estimates of illegal alien populations vary due to inconsistent methods and tracking, but based on the most reliable and recent data from multiple sources including the Department of Homeland Security, the state with the highest number of illegal aliens is California, with 2.6 million. Texas took the number two spot with 2.06 million, and Florida comes in at third with 560,000. New York (with 540,000) and New Jersey (with 440,000) rounds off the top five. Despite the influx of illegal aliens to California, it lost a congressional seat due to the number of residents fleeing the state. The Orange County Register reported that California lost 817,669 residents in 2023 for a net outmigration of 341,866 citizens. If that trend continues, according to Thad Kousser, who is an expert in California and national politics and a professor of political science at UC San Diego, California will lose another four seats by 2030, even without census criteria changing. Texas would hypothetically gain three seats and Florida would gain three. Whether noncitizens count for census matters that affect representation In 2020, the Trump administration sought to exclude noncitizens from the U.S. Census count which is used to apportion congressional seats and Electoral College votes, a move that sparked significant controversy. In July of that year, President Donald Trump issued a memorandum directing the Census Bureau to use administrative records to identify and exclude undocumented immigrants from the apportionment count, arguing that including them dilutes the political power of citizens and constitutes voter suppression. The administration argued that the Constitution’s mandate to count “persons” did not explicitly require counting noncitizens for apportionment. This effort faced immediate legal challenges from blue states and cities, many of which were sanctuary jurisdictions, and immigrant advocacy groups, who argued the policy violated the Constitution and would discourage immigrant participation in the census, potentially undercounting communities with large noncitizen populations. The Supreme Court ultimately blocked the Trump administration’s plan in December 2020, ruling that the memorandum was premature and lacked sufficient justification, though it did not address the merits of the Administrations’ argument. Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union, hailed the decision as a victory for fair representation, while supporters of the policy, including then-Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, argued it was necessary to ensure electoral fairness. Without time for the issue to play out further, the Census Bureau claimed it was constrained by time and logistical challenges, and ultimately included all residents in the 2020 count.

Hegseth announces new intel on US bombing Iran, criticizes media for pushing preliminary report

chadadmin / June 26, 2025

Articles / Government / White House Hegseth announces new intel on US bombing Iran, criticizes media for pushing preliminary report Initial reports, including a preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency report (DIA), found differing conclusions about the success of the US strikes on Iran’s three nuclear processing sites. By: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, speaking at a Pentagon press conference on Thursday, defended the U.S. military’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, asserting that the operation “devastated” Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He emphasized that the strikes, part of “Operation Midnight Hammer,” targeted only nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, and did not aim at Iranian troops or civilians. Hegseth praised President Donald Trump’s leadership, calling the mission “bold” and “brilliant,” and highlighted the skill of American pilots who flew 36 hours through enemy territory. After mainstream media sources reported on the initial Defense Intelligence Agency report, he took aim at outlets like The New York Times and CNN for what he called “fake news” that misrepresented the operation’s success, demeaning the pilots involved. Hegseth cited the United Nations’ Atomic Energy Commission as calling the damage “enormous.” He also pointed to CIA Director John Ratcliff saying Iran’s nuclear program has been “severely damaged.” In a particularly pointed moment, Hegseth looked at the media and said, “You, and I mean specifically YOU, the press, you cheer against Trump so hard, it’s in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump, because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren’t effective.” Hegseth also warned Iran that any forceful retaliation would prompt a U.S. response “significantly exceeding” the initial strikes. He underscored that the U.S. does not seek war but is prepared to act decisively to protect American interests and allies. Hegseth hailed the men and women who carried out the mission and questioned press coverage, asking, “How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don’t know, fly a plane for 36 hours? Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story how hard that is?” TOP STORIES Hegseth announces new intel on US bombing Iran, criticizes media for pushing preliminary report Trump’s next battlefields: a NATO-snubbing Spain and a conflicted U.S. intel community Trump bombed Iran into a ceasefire and sent a loud message to China and Russia Ten years after Trump’s golden escalator announcement, Republicans campaign on transformed agenda ‘Rubber stamp’ vaccine advisory board fired by RFK Jr. for conflicts of interest has revealing past LATEST EPISODES Trump’s precision strike on Iran sent a global message, Victoria Coates talks on restoring American deterrence Iranian threats, transgender ideology & the ‘Nimbus’ COVID variant: The fight for sanity in a WOKE world Leftists chant, “No Kings” but it was Biden’s Admin who directed FBI to target innocent Americans for beliefs Fleitz: Biden’s weak Iran policy made regime $100B wealthier, funded Hamas Oct. 7 slaughter of Israelis ‘One electromagnetic pulse attack & we’re set back to 1871, Iran is plotting it now,’ warns top expert RELATED ARTICLES Hegseth announces new intel on US bombing Iran, criticizes media for pushing preliminary report Trump’s next battlefields: a NATO-snubbing Spain and a conflicted U.S. intel community Trump bombed Iran into a ceasefire and sent a loud message to China and Russia Ten years after Trump’s golden escalator announcement, Republicans campaign on transformed agenda ‘Rubber stamp’ vaccine advisory board fired by RFK Jr. for conflicts of interest has revealing past Weekend of LA riots shows media hasn’t learned anything from America’s election of Trump Second Lady Vance launches reading initiative to combat abysmal literacy rates Weaponized sugar pill?
