Judge Refuses to Dismiss Case Against Judge Hannah Dugan

2025-07-09

[HOTAIR] Judge style=color:maroon;>Hannah Dugan is the style=color:maroon;>Milwaukee judge who was arrested for interfering with an attempt by ICE to arrest a criminal alien from Mexico named Eduardo Flores-Ruiz. Judge Dugan learned an arrest team was present in the courthouse, confronted them in the hallway and saw they had a warrant, but ordered them to go see the chief judge in his office.

While the team was occupied, she rushed through a court appearance and ushered Flores-Ruiz and his attorney out a side door not available to the public. Luckily there was one member of the arrest team still waiting in the hallway who got on the elevator with Flores-Ruiz. He was eventually arrested outside after he tried to flee on foot.

Judge Dugan was arrested by the FBI in April but has claimed, through her attorneys, that she was acting in her capacity as a judge when she interfered in the arrest. Last night a judge ruled against her request to dismiss the case against her.

Hamas Security Officer: Let's Face It, We're Finished

2025-07-10

[HOTAIR] Is that true? On American college campuses and in Big Apple mayoral primaries, style=color:maroon;>Hamas seems to be thriving. In Gaza, however, the end may be nigh.

Yesterday, an unnamed Hamas security officer painted a grim picture about the status of the terrorist network for the BBC. Leaderless, disconnected, and just about out of ammo, the remnants of Hamas don't have many options left. In fact, this insider expects Israel to now finish the job, since there aren't many reasons for them to let up:

"Let's be realistic here - there's barely anything left of the security structure. Most of the leadership, about 95%, are now dead... The active figures have all been killed," he said. "So really, what's stopping Israel from continuing this war?"

"Logically, it has to continue until the end. All the conditions are aligned: Israel has the upper hand, the world is silent, the Arab regimes are silent, criminal gangs are everywhere, society is collapsing." ...

"About the security situation, let me be clear: it has completely collapsed. Totally gone. There's no control anywhere," he said.

"People looted the most powerful Hamas security apparatus (Ansar), the complex which Hamas used to rule Gaza.

"They looted everything, the offices - mattresses, even zinc panels - and no-one intervened. No police, no security."

n illegal migrant and Tren de Arugua member Ricardo Gonzales Leon, age 32, was arrested at a residence in Cobb County, Georgia.

According to the US Marshals, Ricardo Gonzales chose to enter the country illegally.

Gonzales and Gabriel Edison Romero are accused of kidnapping and killing two women and attempting to murder a third woman in execution-style murders in Chicago, Illinois in January.

In January, Gonzalez is accused of kidnapping three female victims and taking them to an alley in Chicago, IL, where they were all shot in the head. Two victims were pronounced deceased on the scene and the surviving victim was able to escape and call 911. Gonzalez is known to be a high-ranking member of the Venezuelan street gang ''Tren De Aragua.''

Gonzales then fled to Georgia where he was later arrested in March 2025.

ABC 7 carried the story.

According to CWB Chicago — Gabriel Edison Romero, 29, is facing two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated armed kidnapping, and three counts of aggravated unlawful restraint. Another man, 31-year-old Ricardo Gonzalez Leon—also a Venezuelan migrant—was charged in May with kidnapping and unlawful restraint for his alleged role in the crime.

ICE Apprehends MS-13 Gangbanger, Murderer in Indiana

2025-07-10

[BREITBART] Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reported the arrest of Jonny Handy Martinez-Barillas, a Honduran national and style=color:maroon;>MS-13 gangbanger who is in the U.S. illegally.

Martinez-Barillas, 30, was picked up in Clay County, Indiana, and was allowed to roam the country after police in Maryland freed him from prison without obeying an ICE detainer in 2023.

The illegal alien had been charged with first-degree murder and firearm possession in Maryland.

ICE reported that a second illegal alien with a criminal record was in the same automobile as Martinez-Barillas when officials came across the pair in Indiana.

Accompanying Martinez-Barillas was El Salvador national Jose Salvador Gonzalez-Campos, who was also identified as a member of the dangerous MS-13 criminal gang.

Gonzalez-Campos had been sentenced to a year in a federal prison for illegal firearm possession back in 2018.

By Halting The Federal Judiciary's Left Turn, Trump Has Saved America

2025-07-10

[AMERICANTHINKER] What style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='Donald Trump'>Donald Trump

has achieved in the first six months of his non-sequential second term borders on the unprecedented. The most lasting and impactful accomplishment will be Trump's ongoing victories in permanently reining in a rogue and increasingly radicalized federal judiciary. His electoral victory in 2024 and uncompromising battles with the judiciary have rescued the United States from an irreversible decline and fall.

Over the past 70 years, the federal judiciary has increasingly assumed the extra-constitutional role of arbitrarily setting the boundaries of congressional and presidential authority. This has been an evolutionary process that reflected the American left's long-term strategy of appointing collectivist judges to the federal judiciary.

All Marxist-inspired despots of the twentieth century understood that party or state control over the judiciary is a key factor in successfully transforming a nation into a one-party socialist or communist state. This process was dramatically accelerated in the United States after style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='Barack Obama'>Barack Obama

became president. During his two terms in office, he and the Democrat party, per the Marxist blueprint, were singularly focused on radicalizing the federal judiciary.

Image created using ChatGPT.

This single-minded determination culminated in Obama and his minion, style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='Joe Biden'>Joe The Big Guy Biden
style='color:black;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier,"Courier New","Courier 10 Pitch",serif;background:#FFFB99'>...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
, appointing vast numbers of radical left-wing judges during their combined twelve years in office. The unabashed and unconstitutional lawfare directed at Donald Trump and the January 6th protestors was a manifestation of their success.

Since the beginning of Trump's second term, dozens of Obama-Biden district court judges have unconstitutionally interjected themselves in Trump's lawful exercise of executive power, issuing an unheard 45-plus national injunctions in less than six months.

From the Constitution's ratification until the dawn of the Twentieth Century, courts did not issue any nationwide injunctions. Beginning in 1900 and spanning 21 presidencies, courts issued 170 nationwide injunctions. Of those, 112—or 65% of all national injunctions over 249 years—came during the four years of Trump's first term and six months of his second. By comparison, per the Harvard Law Review, the last Republican president, George W. Bush, experienced just six nationwide injunctions over eight years.

It is not a coincidence that this avalanche of injunctions began after the Obama presidency, during which he appointed hundreds of radical district judges. There are currently 631 serving District Court judges in 94 districts, and Obama and Biden appointed over 60% of them. This makes it easy to find a judge sympathetic to the Marxist-inspired Democrat party and willing to issue unconstitutional nationwide injunctions or conduct rigged trials against political adversaries.

After experiencing a record 64 nationwide injunctions during his first term, surviving the egregious travesty that was unconstitutional lawfare directed at him, and observing the appalling and blatant political persecution of the January 6th protestors, Trump came into office in 2025 single-mindedly determined to take on this Marxist monolith.

Trump knew that the style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='Democrats'>Democrats
style='color:black;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier,"Courier New","Courier 10 Pitch",serif;background:#FFFB99'>

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat.

They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
' strategy was to derail his agenda. During the four years of his second term, they intended to file lawsuits continuously with their dependable sycophants in the judiciary. These judges would then issue an unending avalanche of judgments, restraining orders, and national injunctions that would freeze the Trump agenda.

They theorized that Trump would either openly defy lower court orders, thus alienating the Supreme Court and becoming susceptible to accusations that he was a style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='fascist'>fascist

-inspired dictator, or he would not be able to aggressively marshal the legal team and strategy to fight continuous battles in innumerable district courts, the circuit courts, and ultimately the Supreme Court.

Trump, however, knew what was coming. Before his inauguration, he assembled an experienced and loyal legal team that was later installed in the Justice Department and the White House Counsel's office, expressly to contest the anticipated lawsuits.

Upon assuming office on January 20, 2025, Trump turned the tables on his feckless and fatuous adversaries by immediately issuing a massive number of executive orders. The Democrat party strategy was immediately exposed to the public as they and their fellow travelers predictably filed 328 lawsuits in the first 100 days of his presidency, stretching their credibility and resources to the limit.

Most importantly, Trump wisely allowed the processes to play out and did not traffic in unhinged accusations or hyperbole when reacting to the inane (and insane) lower court rulings and injunctions. style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='However,'>However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves...
he made clear he would never back off in contesting every judgment, restraining order, and injunction. Lastly, he never threatened to ignore any court order, regardless of its merits or constitutionality.

These overall tactics caught the Democrat machine by surprise as they assumed Trump was incapable of restraint. Trump's willingness to respect the separation of powers was not lost on the Supreme Court Justices, who would be the final arbiters of the validity of many rulings, especially the constitutionality of nationwide injunctions.

As a result, Trump has amassed an unexpected winning streak, not only before the Supreme Court but in many lower courts, too. This streak included the monumental win in Trump v. CASA, Inc., which saw the Supreme Court permanently and dramatically limit district courts' power to issue nationwide injunctions. This effectively eliminates a major tool Democrats use to thwart their political opposition and abet their transforming America.

USAID Quietly Sent Thousands Of Viruses To Chinese Military-Linked Biolab

2025-07-09

[Daily Caller] The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) shipped thousands of viral samples to a lab in Wuhan over the course of a 10-year program even though it had no formal agreement with the lab in place, according to previously unreported documents.

The documents show that USAID funded the exportation of 11,000 samples from Yunnan Province, where some of the closest relatives of the COVID-19 virus circulate, to Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, with no apparent plan for ensuring the samples were not misdirected to bioweapons and remained accessible to the U.S. government.

A $210 million USAID public health program called PREDICT, steered by the University of California-Davis, collected viral samples in countries throughout the globe but lacked long-term storage when funding dried up, according to rudimentary plans in 2019.

Argentina's Milei 'Miracle' a Vindication of Free Markets

2025-07-09

[NATIONALREVIEW] Instead of talking about growth at Chinese rates, the world will soon be talking about growth at Argentine rates,'' President Javier Milei of style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='Argentina'>Argentina

It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita...
said in April. And here we are in July doing just that.
Top Stories

Argentina's economy is growing at 7.7 percent, according to the latest year-over-year data. It grew by 1.9 percent in April, the most recent month for which data are available. The Chinese economy is growing at a rate of about 5 percent per year (if you believe the official statistics, which there are good reasons to doubt).

Argentina is achieving this growth not through a strategic industrial policy or a mercantilist trade policy. It's achieving it by rolling back the overextended public sector, slashing the government budget, controlling the money supply, and removing price controls.

Milei eliminated rent controls in Buenos Aires, and the apartment market was flooded with new properties and the average real price went down. He turned a budget deficit into a surplus in his first full year in office. He eliminated half of the country's cabinet departments.

When Milei took office in December 2023, inflation was 25 percent per month. In May, it was 1.5 percent. The initial shock of the policy change led to a spike in the poverty rate, but it has been falling since the second half of last year and is now lower than when Milei became president.

As is routine whenever a leader proposes shrinking government, ''Over 100 Economists'' signed a letter in 2023 saying that Milei's policy proposals were ''fraught with risks that make them potentially very harmful for the Argentine economy and the Argentine people.'' When the Argentine people were subject to decades of statism that turned them from one of the world's richest countries into an economic disaster zone, ''Over 100 Economists'' were silent. It was only when Milei, an economist himself, proposed to do something about it that ''Over 100 Economists'' found their voice.

It is common to refer to growth stories like Argentina's as ''miracles.'' The Miracle on the Rhine was Konrad Adenauer and Ludwig Erhard's resurrection of the West German economy after the Allied occupation ended. They were told by the professors and the social engineers that removing price controls immediately would be too big a shock. They ignored them and were vindicated with strong growth.

Poland is in the middle of its own ''miracle,'' which has made it a top-20 global economy, ahead of style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='Switzerland'>Switzerland

and Taiwan. Leaders of post-communist Poland were told by the professors and social engineers that the free-market shock therapy of economist Leszek Balcerowicz would be dangerous, and then they were told they were fools for not joining the euro. They ignored them and were vindicated with strong growth.

Milei knows that these are not miracles. They may feel miraculous for people who have been suffering, but they are exactly what economic principles suggest would happen when government controls are removed and people are made free to buy, sell, produce, and consume as they see fit. People have known about this since at least the time of Adam Smith, yet they continue to be surprised when it works.

Supreme Court green-lights Trump's order for mass firings across federal government - POLITICO

2025-07-09

[POLITI] The Trump administration can move forward with plans to fire tens of thousands of workers across the federal government, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.

A judge in style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='California'>Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, had blocked the layoffs, finding that they would likely violate federal law. But the justices granted an emergency appeal from the administration seeking permission to enforce a Feb. 11 executive order that instructed agencies to carry out dramatic ''reductions in force.''

In an apparent 8-1 ruling, the high court said it was not assessing the legality of any particular agency's layoff plans, nor any moves taken so far to implement those plans. Litigation over the downsizing efforts is sure to continue. But for now, the justices said, the administration can enforce the executive order and a memo from the Office of Management and Budget implementing that EO.

The high court's unsigned decision — which the majority explained in two terse paragraphs — lifts an injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, who had blocked 21 agencies from complying with the mass layoff orders.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole member of the court to record a dissent. She said President style='border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:gray;' title='Donald Trump'>Donald Trump
style='color:black;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier,"Courier New","Courier 10 Pitch",serif;background:#FFFB99'>

...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
is unleashing a ''wrecking ball'' on the federal government, and she slammed the court's majority for its ''demonstrated enthusiasm for greenlighting this President's legally dubious actions in an emergency posture.''

Jackson, a Biden appointee, said her colleagues were inappropriately reinterpreting Illston's findings, noting that appeals courts are supposed to adhere to a lower court's conclusions about disputed facts. Lower courts have better command of the facts at this early stage in the litigation, she wrote in a 15-page dissent.

The groups that sued over the layoff plans — including several cities and counties, the American Federation of Government Employees and other federal worker unions — said in a statement that the ruling jeopardizes services that Americans rely on. ''This decision does not change the simple and clear fact that reorganizing government functions and laying off federal workers en masse haphazardly without any congressional approval is not allowed by our Constitution,'' the unions said.

Illston's injunction, which she issued in May, had blocked most major federal agencies from moving forward with any of the complicated steps the government must take when carrying out mass layoffs. She prohibited the administration from developing reorganization plans, issuing any new RIF notifications, and executing any RIFs that were further along in the process.

Rape as weapon of war: Released report lays groundwork for prosecuting Oct 7. sexual violence

2025-07-09

[IsraelTimes] Dinah Project findings confirm Hamas systematically weaponized sexual assault as part of a broader campaign to terrorize, humiliate and dehumanize Israelis

A new report providing the first legal framework to prosecute Hamas terrorists for the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war during the October 7, 2023, massacre was presented Tuesday to First Lady Michal Herzog at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem.

The report by the style=color:green;font-weight:bold;>Dinah Project confirms that Hamas systematically used rape and sexual violence during the massacre as part of a broader campaign of terror, collective humiliation, and dehumanization of Israeli society.

Titled, “A Quest for Justice: October 7 and Beyond,” it is the first report to offer a legal roadmap based on international law for identifying and pursuing justice for the use of sexual violence as a weapon of warfare, which constitutes a crime against humanity.

Tuesday’s gathering of primarily women included former hostage Ilana Gritzewsky, 31, who has publicly spoken out about being sexually assaulted by her captors in Gaza.

Gritzewsky recounted her abduction on October 7 from her home on Kibbutz Nir Oz, where she lived with her partner, Matan Zangauker, who was also kidnapped and remains in captivity.

Details at the link.

The report consolidated data on sexual violence on October 7 and grouped it methodologically based on testimony from first-hand survivors, eyewitnesses, first responders, workers at the Shura military base, which served as a morgue, healthcare workers, and therapists, as well as captured photos and video footage.

The authors acknowledged that it is not the first report to collate data on the use of sexual violence on October 7. Such research has already been conducted by others, including by the Office of the Under Secretary General of the UN’s special representative on sexual violence in conflict, Pramila Patten, in March 2024.

Based on existing doctrine in international and Israeli law, the authors call for the promotion of a key legal principle: the imposition of collective criminal responsibility on all participants in the attack — even if they did not personally commit rape — on the grounds that they knew, should have known, or took part in enabling sexual violence during the attack.

“Our goal is to demonstrate how perpetrators and commanders can be prosecuted even without direct testimony against each individual,” said Halperin-Kaddari.

The next steps they intend to pursue include calling on the Israeli government and judiciary to apply the doctrine of collective responsibility in order to prosecute terrorists for sexual crimes as crimes against humanity and urging the UN Secretary General to add Hamas to the blacklist of organizations that use sexual violence as a weapon of war, in accordance with past Security Council resolutions.

The authors of the report then want to establish a legal process and framework that can be used internationally for prosecuting sexual crimes in war before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague and UN human rights bodies.

Finally, they are seeking to use their research to develop a new legal protocol for addressing sexual violence in armed conflict, including rules for evidence collection, the use of indirect evidence, and recognition of the community-wide harm caused by such acts.

Several speakers referred to the feeling of “betrayal” they felt from the world, especially from other women, who they expected to show empathy and solidarity. The widespread denial of the sexual crimes committed against Israeli women and men on and since October 7 was one of the other motivations for producing the report.
