SCOTUS Will Hear Donald Trump’s Presidential Immunity Claim on April 25.

The Supreme Court has scheduled April 25 to hear oral arguments regarding former President Donald Trump’s presidential immunity claim, which would end DOJ special prosecutor Jack Smith’s federal case against Trump for alleged election interference. The justices will weigh whether a former president is immune from criminal charges for acts carried out while in office.

This hearing is crucial to both Trump and Smith, as the justices could take several months post-oral presentations to decide on the matter. If the Supreme Court rules against Trump’s claim, Smith’s prosecution will move forward and potentially coincide with the November presidential election. The case, pushed by President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, has been put on hold pending the high court’s verdict on Trump’s assertion of immunity.

US District Court judge Tayna Chutkan — presiding over Smith’s federal prosecution of Trump — previously ruled against the former President’s immunity claim. Her decision was appealed to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Last month, the federal appellate court also ruled against Trump, setting up the former President’s appeal to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court’s decision will likely end the legal uncertainty surrounding presidential immunity and could potentially set a legal precedent for future cases involving ex-presidents.

EU Launches $1.6B Subsidy Program for Weapons Manufacturing.

On Tuesday, the European Commission announced a €1.5 billion ($1.62B) subsidy program called the European Defence Investment Programme as part of its European Defence Industrial Strategy.

The move comes as the European government tries to minimize its reliance on US military capabilities in the face of what it describes as Russian ‘aggression.’

When presenting the strategy, the European Commissioner for Internal Market claimed that Europe faces an “existential threat.” Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said, “In response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the EU must bolster its defense capabilities.”

“[The strategy] is not an answer to the war in Ukraine, but rather a broader response to a strategic paradigm shift. It’s a recognition that [defense] is a subject that’s not going to go away for a while,” said Camille Grand, a former NATO assistant secretary-general and current fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

Globalist WSJ Admits Cheap, Migrant Labor Kills U.S. Productivity.

US businesses’ increasing reliance on cheap, immigrant labor is hurting American productivity. A report from The Wall Street Journal suggests that overreliance on cheap labor dissuades industries from becoming more efficient and innovative — ultimately preventing the economy from expanding at a significant pace.

“Once industry is organized in a certain way and the structure encourages employers to recruit migrants, it can be very hard to turn back,” Prof. Martin Ruhs, who teaches migration studies in Florence, Italy, told The Wall Street Journal. Addressing Western mass immigration policies, he added: “In some cases, policymakers should ask, does it make sense?”

Productivity and innovation have been core drivers of Western economies for several centuries. However, that may change if Western economies continue relying on cheap immigrant labor. In 2022, a Danish academic study found that companies were less inclined to invest in robotic technology and automation if they had easy access to immigrant workers.

Among the Western nations of Canada, the UK, Germany, and the US, the current rate of immigration is as much as three times higher than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. The Wall Street Journal notes this is likely to exacerbate sluggish growth in labor productivity, which has lagged among the Western nations for several decades.

Over a quarter of the UK’s nurses working for the National Health Service are immigrants. In Germany, 80 percent of the country’s butchers are foreign laborers.

In the US, several critical industries have become almost entirely reliant on immigrant labor. Immigrant labor comprises about 75 percent of agricultural workers and around 30 percent of construction and mining labor. Government data indicates that the American agricultural sector has seen almost zero productivity growth in over a decade.

Rapper Meek Mill Says Americans Should ‘Strap Up’ To Protect Themselves From Illegals.

Award-winning rapper Meek Mill is advising Americans to be vigilant and protective in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), citing increasing violence in American cities. The 36-year-old Philadelphia native, Robert Rihmeek Williams — known professionally as Meek Mill — attributed the spike in urban violence to illegal immigration, a surge of drugs, and a deepening mental health crisis. Mill, who has had a run-in with the law over gun and drug charges and has been imprisoned for probation violations, wrote, “Make sure you strap up in America, it’s extremely dangerous on the streets!”

A Gallup poll from late February indicates a noticeable increase in concern over immigration among Americans. The poll suggests that 28 percent of respondents now view immigration as the nation’s most pressing issue. This is an increase from the 20 percent who said it was their top concern in January. Mill’s comments drew on these sentiments, referring to the presence of “illegal immigrants everywhere,” the proliferation of automatic guns in inner cities, and the predominance of fentanyl-laced drugs.

Meek Mill made headlines last year for his instrumental role in securing the release of fellow rapper 21 Savage from ICE detention. The British-born rapper, real name She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested in 2019 over an expired visa and had a linked felony drug charge against him. Narrowly avoiding further prison time, she credited Meek Mill and Jay-Z for their interventions, which led to her release.

Biden Admits to Flying In Over 300k Illegals, Won’t Say Where.

The Biden regime has admitted it’s flown in hundreds of thousands of illegals on secret flights to the United States but is refusing to tell lawmakers where cities they’re being flown to.

The details: A report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found that in 2023 alone, 320,000 “inadmissible migrants” were flown directly from their home countries to US cities.

Zoom out: These hundreds of thousands of illegals are in addition to the record-high 3.2 million illegals encountered in fiscal year 2023.

How is this happening? Last year, the Biden regime rolled out the CBP One smartphone app, which allows people to apply for asylum from their home country. Then, Biden flies them to the US using our tax dollars and gives them two years to obtain legal status.

Where are they going? The CIS report confirmed 43 US airports received the illegals. Still, the Biden regime’s US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has refused to disclose which cities they’re being dropped in, citing security “vulnerabilities.”

Back up: Since taking office, Biden has undertaken a massive expansion of our immigration parole programs, which have historically been used to allow asylum seekers to come to the US for significant crises like war or natural disasters. But Biden has abused these programs, giving parole to over 1 million people.

Big picture: Biden is using these taxpayer-funded flights to lessen the traffic seen at the southern border. Tens of thousands of illegals at the border are bad optics for the regime. Flying them to US cities in the dead of night gets much less attention.

‘Mass Casualty’ Event at US-Mexico Border.

At least 10 illegal immigrants were reportedly injured this weekend after falling from a wall at Border Field State Park, according to reports from the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. Authorities labeled The incident a “mass casualty” event, as U.S. Customs and Border Protection sought external assistance. The injured ranged in age from 18 to mid-40s and suffered mild injuries, with the most severe being a broken leg.

Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee’s U.S./Mexico Border Program, said the injuries are not unique. Many illegals experience such injuries, scaling Donald Trump’s wall to enter the United States. He noted that wet weather conditions possibly contributed to the incident’s severity by making the wall more slippery. Earlier in the day, Rios had observed over a hundred people in the area, some of whom admitted scaling the wall.

Recent additions to the wall have included an anti-climbing feature and metal rooftop-like segments. If tests are successful, these will be installed on other wall parts.

Charles Barkley Threatens to PUNCH Black People Wearing Trump’s Mug Shot – ‘I Mean That Sincerely.’

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley threatened to punch any black person wearing an image of former President Trump’s mug shot.

“First of all, I’m just going to say this: If I see a black person walking around with Trump’s mug shot, I’m [gonna] punch him in the face,” said Barkley in a conversation with Gayle King.

“Charles, you really can’t say that, ’cause, A, you don’t mean that,” King responded, to which Barkley replied: “Oh, I mean that sincerely.”

His comments came in response to an earlier claim by Trump that his popularity among black Americans surged following his arrest. The former President noted that some Black people have worn t-shirts featuring his mug shot. Barkley claimed that Trump’s remarks were “an insult to all Black people.”

This isn’t the first time Barkley has spoken against the former President. Previously, Barkley criticized Trump for using what he termed “pseudo-racist rhetoric” when discussing immigration policy.

Trump has yet to respond to Barkley’s remarks.

Fani Willis Lied About Affair, Says NEW Witness in Trump Case.

Defense attorneys for David Shafer, one of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case, say they have a new witness to testify that Fulton County District Attorney and special prosecutor Nathan Wade perjured themselves regarding the start of their romantic relationship. In a filing on Monday, Shafer’s attorneys asked Judge Scott McAfee to reopen evidence to include testimony from Cindi Lee Yeager, a deputy district attorney in a neighboring county.

According to the filing, Yeager is prepared to testify that Wade’s divorce lawyer, Terrence Bradley, told her that the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade began in 2019. Defense lawyers for former President Trump and his fellow co-defendants have moved to disqualify Willis and Wade from the RICO case, alleging the romantic relationship between them resulted in the improper hiring of Wade, prosecutorial misconduct, and the misuse of public money.

Yeager states in the filing that: “Mr. Wade had definitively begun a romantic relationship with Ms. Willis during the time that Ms. Willis was running for district attorney in 2019 through 2020.” Additionally, Yeager says she overheard a phone call in late 2023 between Willis and Terrence Bradley after the press began reporting on Wade’s lucrative salary. “They are coming after us,” Willis is alleged to have said, according to Yeager’s account of events, with Willis continuing: “You don’t need to talk to them about anything about us.”

Late last month, Bradley testified during the disqualification hearing that he had not interacted much with Willis. “My interaction with Ms. Willis was never where I would pick up the phone and talk to her,” Bradley told Judge McAfee. Last Friday, attorneys for both sides gave their closing arguments. Judge Scott McAfee is expected to rule regarding Willis and Wades’s disqualification within the next week.

British NHS Hospital ‘Accidentally’ Chops Off 6 People’s Limbs in 3 Years.

A British hospital has admitted that it mistakenly performed six amputations in three years, a small fraction of an ‘accidental’ amputation epidemic occurring at UK hospitals with as many as 105 over three years.

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust acknowledged the mistakes — the highest number of incidents in any UK hospital — resulting from medical negligence. The Yorkshire hospital revealed that four of the accidental amputations occurred in 2020, while the remaining two happened in 2021.

However, the Yorkshire hospital is not the only hospital operating under Britain’s socialized healthcare system to have ‘accidentally’ cut off peoples’ limbs. Records disclosed by Accident Claims reveal that Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust also carried out two unnecessary amputations. Five further cases of mistaken amputations resulting from medical negligence occurred at Medway NHS Foundation Trust in Kent.

Three instances also occurred at The George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust in Nuneaton, two in 2020 and one in 2023. East Kent Hospitals University Trust recorded another three in 2020, 2022, and 2023, respectively. Two more ‘accidental’ amputations resulting from negligence were carried out at Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Wiltshire.

North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust each recorded one mistaken amputation resulting from negligence.

A further 15 NHS Foundation Trusts across the UK would not provide exact numbers due to patient confidentiality concerns but provided horrifying estimates suggesting that an additional 82 ‘accidental’ amputations due to medical negligence may have occurred:

  • Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than 10.
  • Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust: Fewer than five.
  • Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust: 15 or fewer.
  • Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust: Fewer than 10.
  • University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust: Fewer than five.
  • Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust: Between one and five.
  • Wye Valley NHS Trust: Fewer than six.

WATCH: Voter Tells Fox News Live That She Won’t Vote ‘Menopausal’ Nikki Haley.

A female Texas voter said she would not vote for a woman for President, especially Nikki Haley, who she called “menopausal.”

The voter’s comments came during a live Texas voter segment on Fox & Friends after reporter Will Cain announced that former First Lady Michelle Obama said she would not run for President in 2024. The woman Cain was speaking with — sitting in a diner booth with her husband — cheered the news, saying: “Thank God, yes!”

“I wouldn’t vote for a woman,” the woman told Cain. She added, “And especially, you know, Nikki Haley, I’m just going to say this, she’s probably menopausal. We don’t need that.”

Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt tried to cushion the woman’s comments. “You don’t want a woman that is not the right woman. Look at the stark contrast of Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris,” Earhardt said from the Fox News studio. She added: “Yeah, two totally different individuals that could be President one day. And they’re completely different. So you don’t, she’s absolutely right. And you don’t want a woman who doesn’t want to be President running for President.”

Haley, the former Governor of South Carolina, has refused calls for her to drop out of the Republican presidential primary. Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has handily won all but one of the early primary contests. The only win notched by Haley was the relatively inconsequential Republican primary contest in Washington, DC.
