    Supreme Court Declines to Revive Texas Student’s MAGA Suit

      The Supreme Court rejected a request to revive a Texas student’s lawsuit claiming he was bullied for supporting President Trump and for being white. 

      Brooks Warden, called B.W. in the initial suit because it was filed when he was a minor, claimed that a “years-long campaign of bullying and harassment” ensued after he wore a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat on a school field trip.

      He said he was made a target because of his race and political views, as a white male whose former school district is predominantly Hispanic.

      “When his teachers and classmates at his predominantly Hispanic school found out that he was not only a white male but also a Trump supporter, it was open season,” the petition reads.  

      He had asked the justices to let his 2020 lawsuit against Austin Independent School District, which he claimed failed to stop the alleged abuse, move forward after a divided federal appeals court affirmed a lower court’s ruling throwing out the suit.

      The question at hand was whether racial harassment lawsuits can be filed even when the “primary impetus” for the harassment was the challenger’s political views.

      After a federal judge dismissed the case, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld that decision. However, after the full 5th Circuit court heard Warden’s case, it split 9-9 over whether to revive the lawsuit. As a result, the dismissal was affirmed. 

      In a fiery dissent, 5th Circuit Judge James Ho wrote that “being white was absolutely one” of the reasons that Warden was bullied.  

      “It’s racist to characterize whites as racist,” Ho wrote. “Because it’s racist to attach any negative trait to a group of people based on their race.” 

      The Austin school district wrote in its opposition to the petition that it “does not condone harassment or bullying of any kind” and regrets Brooks’s experience — but rejected the student’s claims as political bluster.

      Republican Congressman Ends Senate Campaign Days After Launching Bid

        Days after announcing his campaign for Senate, Congressman Matt Rosendale (Mont.) is ending his campaign.

        On Friday, Rosendale released a statement explaining the quick decision to end his campaign.

        “Instead of one of those phony statements from politicians, here’s my statement on why I’m withdrawing my candidacy for the U.S. Senate,” Rosendale said in a statement. “As everyone knows, I have planned to run for the U.S. Senate and to win both the primary and the general election. However, the day I announced, President Trump then announced that he was endorsing a different candidate.”

        “I have long been a supporter of the president, and remain so,” he continued. “But I have been forced to calculate what my chances of success would be with Trump supporting my opponent. This race was already going to be tough, as I was fighting against Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republican establishment in Washington. But I felt like I could beat them, as the voters do not agree with them choosing who would be the next U.S. Senator from Montana.”

        Rosendale said that Trump’s endorsement of retired U.S. Navy SEAL and businessman Tim Sheehy meant that he would not have the resources needed to win the primary.

        Rosendale shared he spoke with Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and they agreed that it was best for the party’s chances to regain control of the U.S. Senate if he ended his campaign.

        Daines responded to Rosendale’s announced on X, writing: “I appreciate Matt’s many years of service to Montana. It will take all Republicans working together to defeat Jon Tester in November.”

          Inflation has slowly but surely crept into nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives- especially the holidays. While Americans have likely already begun to shudder at the thought of heightened costs for major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas now even Halloween is being spoiled by the Biden administration. Candy prices for tick-or-treaters have jumped thanks to Biden and some kids could be left feeling the sting tonight.

          Report: Trump Has Narrowed His VP Search to Four Candidates

            Is Donald Trump close to selecting his running mate?

            While the former president still has months to pick his next potential vice president Axios reports the 2024 contender has already narrowed the pool of candidates to four.

            According to Axios, Trump is searching for a running mate with ferocious loyalty but that doesn’t outshine him. Sources close to Trump say Kari Lake is a leading contender but her rising political profile could deter him from selecting her.

            Lake, who lost the race for Arizona governor in November, has been rumored to be eyeing a Senate run in 2024 and has been considered a potential future White House contender. Axios reports that the Arizona Republican would likely be assumed to be angling for president from the day she entered the White House which could deter Trump from selecting her.

            Sources close to the 45th President said another strong fit for a potential VP choice would be Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. However, Gov. Sanders has been hesitant to openly endorse Trump’s latest White House campaign.

            The New York Times reported on March 4 that Trump is having difficulty garnering public support from former allies, noting that Trump was “disappointed” after Huckabee Sanders, his former White House press secretary, reportedly said she would not yet publicly support him. (RELATED: Trump Denies Asking GOP Governor for Endorsement)

            Former United Nations Ambassador and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is also being eyed as a strong choice for vice president.

            However, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung says it’s still too early to speculate on Trump’s VEEP choices.

            “Anyone who thinks they know what President Trump is going to do is seriously misinformed and trying to curry favor with ‘potential’ V.P. candidates.”

            “President Trump will choose his running mate on his own time, and those who are playing the media game are doing so at their own peril.”

            Axios also noted that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has also been included in vice presidential discussions.

            Trump’s Song With J6 Prison Choir Reaches No. 1 On iTunes

              Donald Trump…real estate mogul, businessman, family man, politician, and now the No.1 recording artist. What can’t the man accomplish?

              Over the weekend, Former President Donald Trump’s new debut single with the J6 Prison Choir, “Justice for All” soared to the number one spot on the iTunes charts.

              “J6 Prison Choir consists of individuals who have been incarcerated as a result of their involvement in the January 6, 2021 protest for election integrity after President Donald J. Trump stated ‘I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,’” the J6 Prison Choir website states. “The J6PC continues to make their voices heard through the power of music and sings ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ every evening before bed.” 

              The song was released on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Proceeds from the song go to “certain J6 families in need,” a press release from Kash Patel, a former Trump security official who played a role in recording the song, said. (RELATED: Former Trump Adviser, Kash Patel Joins Matt Whitaker’s Podcast)

              “We basically broke the music industry is what we did here, because we put America First values back front and center,” Patel told Breitbart News. “And we said we’re going to use free speech platforms like Truth Social and Rumble, and then we’re going to debut a song that speaks to what’s on so many Americans’ minds.”

              The J6 Prison Choir reportedly asked former President Trump to take part in the project. A campaign adviser told CNN the song “doesn’t have anything to do” with Trump’s presidential campaign. 

              The song released in March is a tribute to the prisoners of the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. It includes roughly 20 prisoners singing the national anthem and a recitation of the pledge of allegiance by former President Trump. The ending of the song includes the prisoners chanting, “USA!”

              Former White House Adviser Predicts Trump ‘Going To Prison’ If Democrat Wins White House In 2028

              Could Trump’s legal troubles come back to haunt him?

              President Trump’s former advisor Steve Bannon predicted Thursday that President Trump will go to prison if a Democrat wins back the White House in 2028.

              “God forbid we don’t win in ’28, President Trump is going to prison,” Bannon, who was Trump’s advisor in his first presidency, said Thursday during an appearance on Real America’s Voice.

              “And people are sitting around – still with the glow of November 4th and all the inaugurations and all the balls. We’re at war and things that’ve happened in the last 72 hours, if you don’t understand we’re in political warfare, you’re not awake,” he said, in remarks highlighted by Mediaite.

              Trump’s flurry of executive actions since taking office in January has spurred myriad legal cases. Courts have repeatedly paused actions like mass firings of federal workers and sweeping moves on immigration.

              Bannon did not specify what charges might send Trump to prison. He also warned Democrats would seek to remove Trump from office if they win back the House next year.

              “We are kidding ourselves if we don’t think that Democrats are pulling all stops out to stop President Trump to take the House through any means necessary to impeach Trump,” he said.

              Last year, Special Counsel Jack Smith dismissed his two cases after Trump’s electoral victory, referencing the Department of Justice policy that prohibits prosecuting sitting presidents. A fourth case in Georgia remains technically open, though it is effectively inactive. He was convicted on 34 felony counts in a hush money case in New York.

              Trump Goes Off After Judge Releases Lengthy Election Subversion Case Brief

                On Wednesday, Donald Trump spoke out after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., publicly released a brief on presidential immunity from special counsel Jack Smith in the 2020 election subversion case against the former president.

                In a flurry of posts to Truth Social, Trump warned of election interference, arguing that the filing’s appearance on the public docket so close to the 2024 contest boosts a political scheme to undermine his current campaign.

                “Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris,” Trump said in a post to his social media platform.

                He also questioned the timing, contending that it came “immediately” after Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s “disastrous” performance in the vice presidential debate and a little more than a month before the election.

                The filing was submitted under seal last week. Federal judge Tanya Chutkan was the one who ordered its release.

                Chutkan wrote Trump’s team provided “no support” to claims of “bad-faith partisan bias” and rejected the defense’s push for redactions beyond names to protect witnesses, citing the public’s “need to understand” the document.

                The 165-page filing discusses how prosecutors’ superseding indictment should be able to abide by the Supreme Court’s ruling in July that presidents have immunity for official acts.

                Watch: Hecklers Derail Pelosi Event

                  Things quickly went off the rails at an event featuring former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

                  The heckler interrupted Pelosi, who was speaking alongside economist Paul Krugman at The City University of New York’s Graduate Center — and accused her of having “a very bad obsession” with getting the United States into war.

                  “You know Pelosi, that’s a very good place for you, in the depths of hell,” the heckler began, and continued to shout over the booing crowd as security quickly surrounded him to remove him from the venue.

                  “For some reason, you have a very bad obsession of getting us into war. Hey, why is it that you did not admit that there were no WMDs in Iraq? You lied us into a war in Iraq. You got us to invade Afghanistan. Now over 90% of those people are impoverished and are dying,” he shouted. “Why don’t you tell the truth about Nordstream? You’re leaving millions of Germans without energy! You have a knack for getting us into war! People like you should be arrested. You are a war criminal!”

                  Pelosi said nothing, sitting calmly on the stage and waiting for the chaos to die down — but another heckler quickly picked up where the first had left off.

                  “Hey, Congresswoman! I came to see a warmonger, but you’re a sad old drunk. What happened?” the second protester asked. “When you went to Taiwan, were you looking for Ukraine? Did we blow up the Nordstream on accident or on purpose? Did you know about that?”

                  He continued to shout at her, calling her a “war criminal” as security moved to take him out as well. “How many people have died in your f***ing name? How many people have died because of Iraq?” he asked.

                  Once the second protester had been removed, a third stood up, and then a fourth — each criticizing Pelosi for provoking war

                  Vice President Biden Flew Son Hunter On Air Force Two To Close Foreign Business Deals

                  ANALYSIS – Even as the world obsesses over Donald Trump’s latest legal dangers, the walls are slowly closing in on the Biden crime family. And I don’t use the phrase ‘crime family’ often.

                  But it’s becoming increasingly clear that Joe Biden used his time as Vice President as a golden opportunity to unlawfully enrich his entire family, often flying his son Hunter on Air Force Two abroad to seal deals.

                  In one well-known instance, VP Biden leveraged a billion dollars in U.S. aid to fire the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the energy firm that employed Hunter.

                  In their ongoing investigation into alleged influence peddling involving Biden, members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee have asked the National Archives and Records Administration for unrestricted access to Biden’s travel aboard the vice-presidential jet, known as Air Force Two, and the VP’s official helicopter, known as Marine Two.

                  They want to determine whether the trips aided his son Hunter’s shady foreign business deals.

                  House GOP investigators believe Biden, while vice president under Barack Obama, used his power and influence to help his family and a group of associates with foreign business deals involving China, Russia, Ukraine and other countries, worth tens of millions of dollars.

                  And there is more evidence to back up their beliefs. Last month, Devon Archer, Hunter’s former business partner, told House investigators the foreign deals were secured by selling the Biden “brand,” essentially, Joe Biden’s position as vice president of the United States.

                  “Then-Vice President Joe Biden abused Air Force Two by allowing his son to jet set around the world to sell ‘The Brand’ to enrich the Biden family,” said House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

                  “This is yet another example of then-Vice President Biden abusing his public office for his family’s financial gain.”

                  More specifically, the Washington Times reported that:

                  Lawmakers on the Oversight panel said the president’s son Hunter Biden may have traveled to 15 countries with his father while he was vice president and that during that time, Mr. Biden met in Beijing with his son’s business associate, a Chinese national, while he was on official business.

                  “Then Vice-President Biden’s misuse of Air Force Two and Marine Two is indicative of yet another way in which the President has abused his various offices of public trust and wasted taxpayer money to benefit his family’s enterprise, which consisted of nothing more than access to Joe Biden himself,” Oversight lawmakers wrote to U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan.

                  House investigators also believe Biden used numerous aliases to hide his participation in his son’s shady deals. The Times added:

                  …Comer also is seeking more than 5,000 White House emails that used aliases for then-Vice President Joseph R. Biden. The National Archives said it is awaiting approval from Mr. Biden and former President Barack Obama before handing them over to Mr. Comer, according to an aide to Mr. Comer.

                  White House records show that Mr. Biden used the name Robert L. Peters while serving as vice president. Mr. Biden also disguised his name on emails using the pseudonyms Robin Ware and JRB Ware, a play on his middle name and initials paired with his home state of Delaware.

                  Critically, investigators noted a May 26, 2016, White House scheduling email sent to VP Biden ahead of a call with the Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko that was also inexplicably sent to his ‘private citizen’ son, Hunter. 

                  At the same time, the drug-addicted, unqualified Hunter was earning $100,000 a month as a board member of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, which was under investigation for corruption. The U.S. State Department had said Burisma engaged in bribery.

                  And in a typical moment of braggadocio, a clueless Biden senior bragged about it. The New York Post reported:

                  In a 2018 interview at the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden bragged that he unilaterally withheld a billion dollars in US aid from the Ukrainians to force them to fire Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin.

                  The Ukrainians balked, but Biden gave them an ultimatum: “I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”

                  Tough guy, that Biden.

                  Biden has claimed he demanded Ukraine fire its equivalent of Attorney General because he was corrupt, but we now know the State Department had found that Ukraine had made great strides in dealing with corruption, and Shokin, specifically, was praised in private correspondence.

                  The Post added that Devon Archer’s testimony revealed that Burisma executives made the removal of Shokin a top priority and raised it with their hired gun, Hunter.

                  Archer reportedly described how Burisma officials told Hunter of the importance of neutralizing Shokin, and how “a call to Washington” was made in response. The call was of course to Dad.

                  And that’s what House investigators are hoping to prove. The Obama-Biden White House call logs, emails, and flight schedules are all part of the mounting evidence against Joe Biden.

                    Fox News has tapped Jesse Watters to fill the larger-than-life hole left by Tucker Carlson.

                    Fox News Channel will debut a new primetime lineup on July 17, FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott announced on Monday. 

                    “FOX News Channel has been America’s destination for news and analysis for more than 21 years and we are thrilled to debut a new lineup. The unique perspectives of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld will ensure our viewers have access to unrivaled coverage from our best-in-class team for years to come,” Scott announced. 

                    “Jesse Watters Primetime” launched last year and has since emerged as the fastest growing cable news program. Watters will continue to co-host “The Five,” which has been the most-watched cable news program for seven-straight quarters. 

                    The new lineup is a reshuffling of the current evening schedule: Jesse Watters will be taking the 8 p.m. hour, directly replacing Carlson. Laura Ingraham will move from 10 p.m. to 7 p.m., Sean Hannity will stay at 9 p.m. and Greg Gutfeld will move to 10 p.m.

                    Trace Gallagher, a news anchor at the network, will move up to 11 p.m.
