Just under one-quarter of young people in the United Kingdom (UK) would support banning the bible if certain passages conflict with modern “hate speech” laws, according to a recent survey from Whitestone Insights.
Pollsters asked 2,088 Britons to respond to the question: “Unless the offending parts can be edited out, books containing what some perceive as hate speech should be banned from general sale, including if necessary religious texts such as the Bible.”

They found that 23 percent of respondents between the ages of 18 and 34 said the Bible should be banned if it potentially causes offense. Hardly much better were those between ages 35 and 54, with 17 percent concurring. Another 13 percent of those aged 55 and above also agreed.
“We may no longer be a majority Christian population here in Britain. That’s even more reason to protect freedom of speech and belief for all,” said Lois McLatchie, the communications officer at Alliance Defending Freedom.
“We need a robust defense of religious freedom from those who craft our legislation, and we need to educate the ‘be kind’ generation on the truly hateful consequences of censorship before this type of thinking creeps further into reality,” she added.
Britain has seen a steady rise in hostility towards Christians over the past several decades. As of this year, it is illegal for Christians to silently pray outside abortion clinics.

📍 Where & When: United States, May 2024.
💬 Key Quote: “Jobs are up, unemployment is down, wages are increasing, and inflation is dead,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
⚠️ Impact: The U.S. economy added 139,000 jobs in May, with nearly all growth occurring in the private sector, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2 percent, and wages for private-sector workers also saw a notable increase.
IN FULL:
Private sector job growth surged during the first six months of President Donald J. Trump‘s second term. Employment data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows 99.8 percent of job growth has been in the private sector, compared to just 75 percent during former President Joe Biden‘s last two years in office.
The data underpins claims that much of the job growth touted by the former Biden government was the direct result of the increase in federal government spending and not an actual expansion of the U.S. economy. Notably, the job numbers released during Biden’s term saw a number of post-facto corrections, with a benchmark revision in August 2024 revising the total jobs between April 2023 and March 2024 downward by nearly one million.
“Jobs are up, unemployment is down, wages are increasing, and inflation is dead. More than 139,000 good jobs were added to the private sector in May, all accounted for by American-born workers. Americans should continue to trust in President Trump, who continues to beat expectations,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement regarding last month’s jobs data. The U.S. economy added 139,000 jobs in May, with nearly all growth occurring in the private sector, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2 percent, and wages for private-sector workers also saw a notable increase.
The Biden government used high levels of new government employment to give the impression that the U.S. economy and labor market were stronger than expected. However, the high federal government spending required to expand public sector employment likely exacerbated inflation, which has now almost entirely subsided under President Trump.

⚠️ Impact: The information exposes Democrats, rioters, and others opposing ICE operations as favoring dangerous criminals over the safety of American citizens.
IN FULL:
Several of those migrants being defended by the Los Angeles rioters are serious criminals, including convicted murderers, rapists, and child molesters. The White House has released a statement outlining the criminal history of some of the migrants who were detained.
Mexican illegal Eswin Uriel Castro, for example, was convicted of both child molestation and being armed with a deadly weapon. He also has prior convictions for robbery and domestic violence, and was already deported before.
Cielo Vivar-Ubaldo, another Mexican, heads convictions for sex with a minor, drug-related convictions, and a hit and run. Like Castro, he was also previously deported from the United States.
Cuong Chanh Phan, a Vietnamese national, is a known gang member and has been convicted of second-degree murder.
The Trump Administration released the details of over a dozen criminals, saying they had all been taken off the streets by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies within the last several days.
“Democrats like [Governpr] Gavin Newsom and [Los Angeles Mayor] Karen Bass should be thanking President Trump for stepping up and leading where they refused—and for ridding their streets of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and gangbangers,” the White House said in the statement.
The multi-day riots in Los Angeles are in defense of these dangerous criminals, ironically, including an illegal alien who took part in the unrest. Russell Gomez-Dzul, a Mexican national, was arrested for assaulting a federal official.

💬 Key Quote: “The House’s Big Beautiful Bill addressed the urgent need for a remittance tax. But we can go further. I’m introducing legislation to quadruple the proposed remittance tax—from 3.5 percent to 15 percent,” said Sen. Eric Schmitt.
⚠️ Impact: The proposed tax could generate $26 billion over a decade, affecting remittance flows to Mexico, which received $64.7 billion in 2024.
IN FULL:
Republican lawmakers are pushing to dramatically increase a proposed tax on remittances sent by migrants in the U.S. to their home countries, following remarks by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum opposing the measure. The proposal, part of President Donald J. Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate, initially called for a 3.5 percent tax on remittances from noncitizens. The newest proposal would see remittances taxed at 15 percent.
Sheinbaum’s criticism of the tax, captured in a viral video over the weekend, saw her declare, “If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico.” While her use of the term “mobilize” remains unclear, it has prompted a strong reaction from U.S. lawmakers.
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) announced plans to introduce legislation to increase the tax rate to 15 percent, citing Sheinbaum’s comments as a catalyst. “The House’s Big Beautiful Bill addressed the urgent need for a remittance tax. But we can go further. I’m introducing legislation to quadruple the proposed remittance tax—from 3.5 percent to 15 percent,” Schmitt stated on X (formerly Twitter). He added, “America is not the world’s piggy bank. And we don’t take kindly to threats.”
The tax is projected to generate approximately $26 billion over the next ten years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. Remittances, a key revenue source for many developing nations, are particularly significant for Mexico, which received $64.7 billion in such transfers in 2024, making it the second-largest recipient globally, behind India.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) also supported raising the tax, responding to Sheinbaum’s comments by writing, “New reason to amend the Senate bill to tax remittances at a lot higher rate…” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) echoed the sentiment, saying, “Raise the remittances!!”

💬 Key Quote: “This is a pro-family initiative that will help millions of Americans harness the strength of our economy, to lift up the next generation,” Trump said.
⚠️ Impact: The Trump Accounts align with Trump’s America First agenda, boosting family wealth and economic growth while countering leftist policies with private-sector support.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump has outlined his plan for special “Trump Accounts,” included in the “one big beautiful bill” making its way through Congress. These accounts will provide American babies with $1,000 in savings, pegged to the stock market, at birth.
“For every U.S. Citizen born after December 31, 2024, before January 1, 2029, the federal government will make a one-time contribution of $1,000 into a tax-deferred account that will track the overall stock market,” the President explained at the Invest America roundtable on Monday.
“They’ll be open for additional private contributions each year from family, friends, parents, employers, churches, private foundations, and more,” he continued, adding: “This is a pro-family initiative that will help millions of Americans harness the strength of our economy, to lift up the next generation.”
It is intended that children should be able to access their Trump Accounts at age 18 to help pay for education, training, or their first home, with the balance becoming available in full when they turn 30. The scheme received backing from several industry leaders at the roundtable, including Dell CEO Michael Dell and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon.

📍 Where & When: The riots began in Los Angeles over the weekend, while reports of a possible mobilization of the Marine battalion first surfaced late Monday afternoon on June 9, 2025.
⚠️ Impact: It is believed the Marines will relieve some of the National Guard soldiers who have previously been deployed to protect federal property, though, unless President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, neither the Guard troops nor the Marines are legally allowed to arrest and detain any rioters.
IN FULL:
A battalion of Marines, estimated to number around 700, is allegedly being mobilized to join 2,000 National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles, California, to secure and protect federal property amid ongoing pro-illegal immigrationriots in the city. The detachment, believed to originate from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California, comes after a weekend of violent riots broke out across Los Angeles, with demonstrators setting fire to cars, blocking highways, and attempting to storm a federal illegal immigration detention facility.
Currently, 2,000 members of the National Guard have been called up in California, though only about 300 of them have been deployed to the streets. Notably, this move came after the Democratic Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, resisted dispatching the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to restore order until the situation had already spiraled out of control. So far, over 150 people have been arrested by the LAPD, and a number of businesses and other properties have been damaged.
The National Guard soldiers and Marines are being tasked with property protection only. Under law, they are not allowed to engage in policing action on American soil unless President Donald J. Trump invokes the Insurrection Act. Already, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is suing the Trump administration, seeking a federal court order blocking the federalization and deployment of the National Guard soldiers.
Notably, the National Pulse reported earlier on Monday that the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), one of the lead organizers of the demonstrations, received nearly $34 million in grants from California and has strong ties to the Democrats.
Violent anti-ICE and pro-illegal immigrant demonstrations have broken out beyond Los Angeles, with 60 individuals being arrested in San Francisco.

💬 Key Quote: “I would do it if I was Tom, I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing,” President Trump told the media.
⚠️ Impact: Despite goading Homan to arrest him, Newsom is not complaining that Trump’s comments are “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism” and pleading with right-wing media personalities to defend him.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump addressed the ongoing clash between his administration’s Border Czar Tom Homan and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), after Homan vowed to arrest anyone obstructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, including state officials, and Newsom responded by daring Homan to arrest him. The dispute comes amid pro-illegal immigrant riots in Los Angeles, with Newsom moving to sue to block the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard to restore order.
Governor Newsom, a vocal critic of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, told MSNBC, “The hell with this guy [Homan]. Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy.”
He added, “I care about my community. The hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up. They need to stop, and we need to push back.”
On Monday, President Trump was asked on the White House lawn whether Homan should take Newsom up on his challenge. Trump responded, “I would do it if I was Tom, I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing.”
The president also criticized Newsom’s governance, calling him “grossly incompetent” while acknowledging that he personally likes the California governor. “He’s done a terrible job, look—I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent. Everybody knows. All you have to do is look at the little railroad he’s building. It’s about a hundred times over budget.”
“We’re putting a flagpole over there,” he continued, referring to a new installation at the White House. “Under budget. I always do under budget.”
Despite previously goading Homan to arrest him, Newsom was extremely agitated by Trump’s remarks, writing on social media, “This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, this is a line we cannot cross as a nation—this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”
He later pleaded with Fox News media personality Sean Hannity to come to his aid.

📍 Where & When: The remarks were made on Monday, June 9, 2025.
💬 Key Quote: “I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Rep. Her said.
⚠️ Impact: While it appears that Representative Her is technically a naturalized U.S. citizen, the admission that her family committed immigration fraud in the course of attaining citizenship could result in federal action to denaturalize the Minnesota Democrat, resulting in the lawmaker being disqualified from office.
IN FULL:
A Democrat lawmaker in the Minnesota state House of Representatives admitted during a floor debate on Monday that she is an illegal immigrant. State Representative Kaohly Vang Her (D), during a debate on expanding illegal immigrant eligibility for MinnesotaCare, revealed that her father had committed immigration fraud, listing his grandmother as his mother, as the latter was deceased.
“Because his mother had died, my father—as the one processing the paperwork—put my grandmother down as his mother,” Rep. Her stated on the Minnesota House floor, apparently alluding to fraud committed on immigration paperwork. She continued: “And so I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country.”
Minnesota law stipulates that any person who holds office must be eligible to vote in state elections. Notably, only United States citizens can cast a ballot for state positions in Minnesota. This would suggest that Kaohly Vang Her, who came to the U.S. as a Hmong refugee, is ineligible to serve in the state legislature.
“My family was just smarter in how we illegally came here,” the Minnesota Democrat lawmaker said, adding: “My family broke the law to come here. I never knew that. I just learned that now.”
While Rep. Her appears to technically be a naturalized United States citizen, that status could be called into question as, by her own admission, her father made false statements when attaining legal residency in the country. Such acts can result in the federal government taking action to denaturalize an individual or individuals determined to have made false statements or concealed material facts on their immigration application.

📍 Where & When: Downtown Los Angeles, Sunday afternoon, particularly near Los Angeles Street between Arcadia and Alameda streets.
💬 Key Quote: “Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby,” the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement warning the public to stay away from the burning vehicles.
⚠️ Impact: At least five Waymo vehicles were targeted, highlighting the dangers presented by electric vehicles’ batteries when compromised.
IN FULL:
Pro-illegal immigrant rioters in downtown Los Angeles turned their attention to Waymo autonomous vehicles on Sunday, vandalizing and setting several of the driverless taxis ablaze. The incidents occurred as violent demonstrations against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) escalated in the Civic Center area, with some far-left agitators spilling onto the 101 Freeway, forcing its closure for several hours.
Law enforcement officers from the California Highway Patrol worked to disperse the crowd, detaining multiple rioters. Meanwhile, a group of protesters specifically targeted Waymo vehicles parked on Los Angeles Street near Arcadia and Alameda streets. Witnesses reported seeing rioters slashing tires, smashing windows, and spray-painting anti-ICE messages on the cars.
The situation escalated further when three of the five vehicles were set on fire, sending thick black smoke into the air. Protesters reportedly used skateboards to break windows and makeshift flamethrowers to ignite the interiors of the vehicles. Lime electric scooters were also thrown into the flames, adding to the destruction.
The Los Angeles Police Department warned the public to avoid the area, stating: “Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby.”

Waymo, a Google subsidiary, has been operating its self-driving taxi service in Los Angeles since November, following launches in San Francisco and Phoenix. The company confirmed it was in contact with law enforcement and expressed concern for public safety.
This is not the first time Waymo vehicles have been targeted. Previous incidents in San Francisco involved passengers reporting harassment and obstruction. Most of these have involved predators attempting to follow or force entry into an autonomous vehicle carrying a female passenger.
In at least one incident, a female passenger, being followed by a group of men in another car and unable to stop or divert her Waymo ride, called 911, only to be told by police they could not respond to a moving vehicle. Waymo claims such incidents are rare.
BREAKING 🚨: A second WayMo has just been lit on fire by protestors. No police present. This is a major escalation from just one hour ago. Thousands of protestors in the streets.

💬 Key Quote: An SFPD spokesman stated that an “unlawful assembly” was declared after people in the crowd “became violent” and committed crimes ranging from “assault to felony vandalism.”
⚠️ Impact: Two officers sustained injuries, a firearm was recovered, and significant property damage occurred, including smashed storefronts and vandalized police cruisers.
IN FULL:
San Francisco police arrested 60 rioters late Sunday during a “solidarity” protest targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which escalated into violence and vandalism. This was organized to complement ongoing riots in Los Angeles, also directed at federal law enforcement.
The San Francisco protest began outside ICE headquarters, where demonstrators carrying Palestinian and other foreign flags and socialist placards gathered in support of pro-illegal immigrant agitators rioting against ICE raids in Los Angeles. As police arrived, the crowd reportedly moved toward officers, forming a line and pushing against them. Projectiles, including eggs and a glass bottle, were thrown at the headquarters and law enforcement officers, leading to a 40-minute standoff.
The San Francisco Police Department declared the gathering an unlawful assembly at 7:33 PM, citing escalating violence and criminal behavior. According to a police spokesman, offenses ranged from assault to felony vandalism. Juveniles were among those detained, and a firearm was recovered at the scene.
By 8:30 PM, many protesters had dispersed from ICE headquarters but spread into downtown San Francisco, where acts of vandalism continued. Buildings were tagged with graffiti, police cruisers were destroyed, and Chase Bank and Fendi storefronts were smashed.
Police began making arrests after corralling several dozen agitators who refused to disperse. Two officers sustained injuries during the unrest, one of whom required hospital treatment. The protest was organized, in part, by NorCal Resist, a group opposing deportation efforts.
In Los Angeles, President Donald J. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to confront rioters, a move opposed by California Governor Gavin Newsom (D). This marked the first such federal deployment to California since 1965, during Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidency.

💬 Key Quote: Newsom said, “Come after me, arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy, you know? I don’t give a damn. But I care about my community.”
⚠️ Impact: The exchange highlights tensions between federal immigration enforcement and California Democrats as the former attempts to carry out mass deportations and the latter attempts to obstruct them.
IN FULL:
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) issued a combative response Sunday evening to Border Czar Tom Homan, who warned earlier in the day that federal authorities would continue enforcing immigration laws in Los Angeles and state officials standing in the way would face obstruction charges.
Homan, a former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), did not rule anything out when asked if this could extend to Governor Newsom or Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. “I’ll say it about anybody,” he stated. “You cross that line, it’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien. It’s a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job.”
Newsom, who presides over a state regime with a lax or even permissive approach towards illegal immigration, responded by challenging Homan to arrest him. “Come after me, arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy, you know? I don’t give a damn. But I care about my community. I care about this community,” Newsom said, seemingly referring to California’s illegal immigrant population. “They need to stop, and we need to push back,” Newsom added.
Newsom’s comments come as Los Angeles has seen daily riots, including police being attacked by rioters over attempts to detain illegal immigrants, including dangerous criminals. In reaction to the violence, President Donald J. Trumpdeployed 2,000 National Guard troops.
Newsom, who will leave office next year due to term limits, is widely considered a top contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.
