Denver Archbishop James Golka addresses the controversy surrounding his decision to lead a prayer over President Trump in the Oval Office.

“I thought that this is what Catholics do. We pray for people. No matter whether we agree or disagree on anything, we always pray for our country and leaders.”

Amen.

Of the 63 people on a July 30th deportation flight to Africa, 60 Minutes found that 19% had been charged with or convicted of crimes, including theft, assault, drug offenses and weapons possession. The remaining 81% had either traffic violations or no criminal record at all.

In response, Department of Homeland Security lawyer James Percival said: “This administration is following the law that Congress has passed. There are a lot of people in this population that we talk about who committed very serious crimes. And people should be very happy with President Trump for getting these serious criminals out of the country.” https://t.co/wUsBjZcdSr

Thom Tillis makes strange comments on Ilhan Omar...

[Will Chamberlain @willchamberlain]

A federal judge authorized a search warrant for the home of Ilhan Nur Said Elmi (aka Ilhan Omar). Thom Tillis hasn't looked at the details, but he "found it very concerning" and warns DOJ could be "held accountable."

Nothing about holding Elmi accountable, of course.

The California elections are officially compromised. Despite receiving federal government notice that upwards of 20,000 voters are foreign nationals who can not vote, California ignored the alert and processed over 300,000 ballots without simply segregating the ballots of the contested voters. Once processed, the vote can no longer to be linked to any illegal non-citizen voter! Unless the courts act, tens of thousands (and likely hundreds of thousands) of noncitizen voters will further compromise the elections!

Judicial Watch Sues California to Clean Up 873,000 Inactive Voter Registrations on Rolls

(Washington, DC) – @JudicialWatch announced today it filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of a California political candidate and a state political party against the State of California due to its failure to maintain accurate voter rolls as required by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) (Don Wagner et al. v. Shirley N. Weber, in her official capacity as California Secretary of State (No. 8:26-cv-01263)).

Federal law requires most inactive voter registrations to be removed after two general federal elections. The new federal lawsuit alleges, based on admissions in prior Judicial Watch litigation, that 873,092 voter registrations have remained continuously inactive for at least three federal elections, and some for much longer. Of these registrations, 326,808 have remained continuously inactive through at least three consecutive federal general elections, while 151,202 have remained inactive through at least four consecutive federal general elections.

In addition, 33,922 voter registrations have remained continuously inactive through at least five consecutive federal general elections — dating back at least ten years, to before the November 5, 2016, presidential election.

Under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), states are required to make reasonable efforts to remove ineligible voters from the voter rolls, including those who have died or moved. The lawsuit also alleges, again citing admissions by California officials, that the state takes no effective action to require counties to comply with the NVRA. As a result, they do not comply.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Don Wagner, an elected member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors and candidate for California Secretary of State, and the American Independent Party of California.

In June 2025, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), as required by law, issued a report to Congress on states’ NVRA compliance. Citing this report, Judicial Watch points out that 20 California counties removed 50 or fewer inactive voters from their rolls between November 2022 and November 2024. Ten of these counties reported zero removals of inactives under the relevant statute during that time period. These include Alpine, Imperial, Inyo, Kings, Mariposa, Mendocino, Plumas, San Bernardino, Tehama, and Trinity. Counties reporting 50 or fewer removals include Butte, Colusa, Contra Costa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Santa Cruz, Siskiyou, Sonoma, and Tuolumne.

Judicial Watch argues:

The 20 counties reporting zero to 50 registrations pursuant to NVRA Section 8(d)(1)(B) during the period from November 2022 to November 2024 reported a combined total of 3,440,358 voter registrations to the EAC. Yet these 20 counties reported removing a grand total of just 218 registrations under that provision during that period.

For context, Judicial Watch points out that San Diego County, with 2.2 million registered voters, removed over 300,000 voter registrations under that statute during the same time period.

Currently, over 23 million Californians are registered to vote.

Additionally, Judicial Watch states that Census Bureau data shows: 660,000 California residents moved out of state in 2024;690,000 in 2023; and 818,000 in 2022.

Judicial Watch points out that if California “was actually conducting a general program that makes a reasonable effort to cancel the registrations of voters who have become ineligible because of a change of residence, it would not be possible” for these counties to cancel so few registrations under the NVRA in a two-year period.”

The lawsuit also notes that “comparing the total number of voter registrations reported to the EAC in each California county to the U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent five-year estimates of voting-age citizenry indicates that 18 California counties have more voter registrations than citizens over the age of eighteen.”

In March 2019, the State of California and Los Angeles County settled a December 2017 lawsuit with Judicial Watch that resulted in the removal of more than 1.2 million names from voter rolls.

“Judicial Watch’s federal lawsuit confirms California has a dirty voting rolls crisis – with thousands of old names on the rolls going back at least 10 years,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections. And California and its counties must take immediate steps to clean the over 870,000 dirty names on the voting lists.”

Fun fact: Confirmed fraud stopped in the socialist programs Marxist senator supports (such as Obamacare) have already more than "paid for" the defensive war against Iran.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump has spent at least $45 BILLION on his Iran war.

$30 billion could've extended ACA tax credits for a year and kept premiums from skyrocketing.

$13 billion could've paid for Head Start for a year.

AND we'd still have money left over.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

Fact check: Abortion isn't health care. It is killing.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Abortion is health care.

And those health care decisions should be made by a woman and her doctor — not by the federal government, and certainly not by Donald Trump.

So long as I’m Governor, abortion will remain safe, legal, and accessible here in Pennsylvania. And I will always protect a woman’s fundamental freedom to make her own decisions about her body.

[Attorney General Todd Blanche @AGToddBlanche]

The Department of Justice does not seek to stop any ballot from being cast or to stop the certification of Alaska's election. This litigation seeks to ensure that after Alaskans cast their ballots, they are preserved in a manner so that only Alaska's governing officials have the information necessary to make a determination as to whether Alaskan voters were confused or mislead.

The lawsuit was written by Justice Department attorneys and the Department did not coordinate with any campaign or candidate, but rather relied solely on federal law.
