Sellout Meloni Slams Door on Hungary’s Orban.

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is continuing to sell out her populist platform, turning her back on Hungary’s Viktor Orban following the European Parliament elections.

Orban, a Donald Trump ally whose country is taking over the rotating presidency of the European Union (EU) under the slogan ‘Make Europe Great Again,’ is attempting to join forces with Meloni in the European Parliament. Meloni’s Brothers of Italy (FdI) and Orban’s Fidesz won the European elections in their respective countries, and populists generally earned stronger representation than ever before.

However, Meloni is rejecting Orban’s overtures for his Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to join the populist-leaning European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) euro-group, which she dominates. She is attempting to curry favor with the European People’s Party (EPP) group, in which French and German globalists dominate.

However, Meloni does not appear to be receiving any reward for her behavior. The EPP, Socialists and Democrats (S&D), and Liberals are preparing to carve up the bloc’s top jobs between them, leaving Meloni in the cold.

‘DISCIPLINED.’

Before winning the Italian election in 2022, Meloni and her Brothers of Italy party were considered comparable to Marine Le Pen and National Rally in France, with much of the press denouncing her as the country’s most “far-right” leader since Benito Mussolini.

On becoming Prime Minister, however, she abandoned the anti-mass migration platform she campaigned on, instead focusing on supporting Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and the Western proxy war with Russia. Illegal migrants crossing the Mediterranean increased, and she also approved higher legal immigration, parroting the globalist narrative that “Europe and Italy need immigration.”

Rather than fellow populists like Viktor Orban, Meloni cultivated left-liberals like Joe Biden, recently attempting to save him from embarrassment when he began wandering off on his own at a G7 summit.

German socialist Martin Schulz, former President of the European Parliament, brags the EU “disciplined” into submitting to the status quo.

Louisiana Mandates 10 Commandments for Every School Classroom.

Louisiana has become the first U.S. state to mandate that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms. The law includes any educational institution receiving state funds, from kindergartens to public universities. Governor Jeff Landry (R-LA) signed the mandate into law on Wednesday.

The Ten Commandments law is likely to see prompt legal challenges. However, Gov. Landry last Saturday was unphased by the prospect of litigation. “I’m going home to sign a bill that places the Ten Commandments in public classrooms,” he said during a fundraiser over the weekend. Landry added: “And I can’t wait to be sued.”

According to the new law, classrooms in schools that receive public funding will be required to display a post-sized depiction of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font.” The Abrahamic religious texts—which are important in Judaism and Christianity—lay out a set of tenets on which humanity is to live, including “Thou shalt not kill.”

Opponents of the law promise swift legal action, questioning its constitutionality. They point to the First Amendment‘s establishment clause, which bars the federal government from mandating an official state religion. Others point to the extra-constitutional concept of separation of church and state. Proponents contend that the tenets are not merely religious symbols but also represent historical significance in U.S. history.

Additionally, the displays will come with a four-paragraph “context statement.”  It details the religious and historical importance of the Ten Commandments as “a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries.” Louisiana classrooms must comply with the mandate by the start of 2025.

Local Politicians Are Flocking to Farage’s Reform Party.

Local politicians elected as Conservatives (Tories) are defecting to Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, signaling a significant shift on the British right. Jeff Bray, Peter Harris, Richard Everett, and James Codling, all members of Tendring Council in the Clacton constituency (electoral district) where Farage is running for Parliament, joined him at a rally in the seaside town on Tuesday.

“I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues in joining Reform UK to advocate for common-sense policies here in Clacton and the surrounding areas,” said Harris, who, like Bray, is a former chairman of Tendring Council.

Farage welcomed the new members enthusiastically, stating, “Reform UK’s positive message for change is resonating with people across Clacton. I am proud to welcome four new councilors who will play key roles in advancing our cause.”

The Conservatives currently govern Britain under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. They are expected to be ousted by Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party after the July 4 snap election, however.

Presiding over record mass migration, failing to deliver a genuine Brexit, and governing from the center-left, the Conservatives have had little to offer their 2019 voters. Polls show they are abandoning Sunak’s party for Reform in droves.

Projections indicate that Farage will win Clacton from the Conservatives with a historic swing. Reform also expects to capture the parliamentary seat of Conservative Party chairman Richard Holden.

The Brexit leader believes Reform can use a parliamentary “bridgehead” to become the true opposition to Labour over the next five years, and win the next general election outright in 2029.

Top Leftist Strategist Urges Uniparty Coalition to Stop Farage.

Alastair Campbell, former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s right-hand man during his premiership, is urging Britain’s Labour Party and its supposed rivals, the Conservative (Tory) Party, to form a uniparty coalition to stop Nigel Farage from winning the parliamentary constituency (electoral district) of Clacton.

Campbell, a top spin doctor who infamously issued the British press with the “dodgy dossier” the Blair government used to justify the disastrous Iraq War, pressed Clacton Labour to “Please sort something out with the Tories” after a poll predicted Reform Party leader Nigel Farage would narrowly win the seat, ahead of the incumbent Tories, with Labour in third place but not too far behind.

Clacton Labour candidate Jovan Owusu-Nepaul is proving something of a liability, with a record of boasting that “white man tears” are his “favorite drink.”

Farage argues there are “no real, fundamental differences between” Labour and the Conservatives, with both parties presiding over a high tax burden and mass migration.

They claim to be bitter rivals, however. The Conservatives present themselves as pro-borders, pro-tax cuts, and anti-woke–despite increasing immigration, taxes, and state-funded woke activism. They argue right-wingers should not vote for Reform because it would help Labour. Meanwhile, Labour figures, including Campbell, present the center-left Conservatives as “hard right.”

A pact between the two in Clacton could stop Farage, whose party is currently polling ahead of the Conservatives nationally, but would also strengthen his argument that they are much the same.

Joe Biden’s $42 Billion Broadband Plan Hasn’t Connected A Single User To The Internet.

Three years ago, Joe Biden signed a sweeping $42 billion rural broadband proposal into law with the aim of bringing needed internet connections to Americans in more remote and less populated parts of the country. However, as the 2024 presidential election looms and Biden’s term in office may be nearing an end, not a single person in rural America has been connected to the internet under the 81-year-old Democrat’s plan.

In fact, no project receiving funds from the Biden government program will break ground until 2025. According to internet service providers (ISPs) and lawmakers on Capitol Hill, the hold-up is because of the Biden government’s overly burdensome requirements for accessing the $42 billion program. They cite regulations implementing climate change mandates, union worker requirements, and DEI regulations for the slow-down in building out rural internet infrastructure. Additionally, the ISPs point to attempts by the Biden Commerce Department to regulate consumer rates in a manner beyond the agency’s authority as compounding the program’s ineffectiveness.

While House lawmakers on the Budget Committee say they believe rural broadband projects should begin in 2025 and be well underway by 2026, not everyone in the federal government shares their optimism. Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr says he believes the projects won’t be near completion in many underserved areas until 2030 because of the delays due to the Biden government’s onerous requirements. “There hasn’t been a single shovel’s worth of dirt that has even been turned towards connecting people,” Carr said.

“They just put too many steps in the process,” Carr added before concluding: “The addition of a substantive wish list of progressive ideas they’ve layered in certainly didn’t help with the timeline.”

Biden Sent $2.8 Billion in ‘Humanitarian Aid’ to the Taliban.

The Biden regime’s humanitarian aid to Afghanistan appears to be ending up in the hands of the Taliban. During a recent House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing, Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) lambasted the poorly overseen State Department expenditure.

The Biden regime, Mast observes, has “sent more than $2.8 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took power in August of 2021.” A federal inspector general’s report shows “tens of millions of dollars of that money going directly into the hands of the Taliban.”

“It is unacceptable for any U.S. funding to benefit the Taliban,” agreed Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, demanding Biden “take immediate action to prevent U.S. taxpayer dollars from going to the Taliban.”

McCaul cited findings from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) showing that the Taliban had indirectly received at least $10.9 million from U.S. taxpayers. However, SIGAR warns this is likely only a fraction of the Taliban’s indirect U.S. taxpayer funding through taxes, fees, and other means.

Mast also criticized the State Department for a $500,000 grant to “promote atheism in Nepal,” which is predominantly Hindu, raising a broader problem of reckless federal spending.

Waste also plagues U.S. aid to Ukraine. U.S. taxpayers are not only providing and paying for weapons for Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces but also paying the salaries of Ukrainian government workers, subsidizing Ukrainian businesses, and purchasing supplies for Ukrainian farmers.

U.S. investigative journalist Seymour Hersh estimates Zelensky, his government ministers, and commanders have embezzled “at least” $400 million in U.S. aid in 2022 alone.

A Record Number of NATO Members Are Now Paying Their Fair Share… Thanks to Trump.

Former President Donald J. Trump‘s campaign to push NATO member states to pay their fair share of the alliance’s defense budget appears to be paying off. The issue of NATO funding was a major policy objective during the first Trump administration, with a concerted push to ensure that member states would contribute two percent of their GDP to the alliance as mandated by its charter.

In 2018, the former President pressed NATO allies on the issue, as many member states had fallen far below their funding obligations. Since the 2018 NATO summit, the number of states meeting their two percent funding obligation has steadily risen. Today, a record number of member states have hit the funding benchmark—23 of the 32 nations in the alliance.

KEEPING UP PRESSURE.

Even after leaving office, former President Trump has pressured NATO member states to pay their fair share. In February of 2024, Trump discussed the issue during a campaign rally in South Carolina, recalling his conversation with a NATO member state leader during the alliance’s 2018 summit.

“One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’” the former President told supporters. He added: “I said, ‘You didn’t pay. You’re delinquent.’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s say that happened.’ No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”

A week later, during a security summit in Munich, U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) echoed Trump‘s call for NATO member states to meet their funding obligations. “Trump is actually issuing a wake-up call to say that Europe has to take a bigger role in its own security,” Vance—who is a top contender to be Trump’s vice-presidential pick in 2024—said, adding: “The problem with Europe is it doesn’t provide enough of a deterrence on its own… The American security blanket has allowed European security to atrophy.”

REPORT: Biden Watched as Dog Repeatedly Attacked Secret Service.

Joe Biden repeatedly watched while his German shepherd, Commander, attacked Secret Service agents, according to newly released agency records.

The details: The Secret Service records were obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation by Judicial Watch. They detail several incidents, with first-hand quotes from agents who were bit and/or observed the dog biting other agents in Biden’s presence.

One notable attack took place on September 12, 2023, as Biden was walking Commander in the Kennedy Garden of the White House. An agent reported:

  • “Commander ran through [Biden’s] legs and bit my left arm through the front of my jacket. I pulled my arm away and yelled no… Commander jumped again and bit my left arm for the second time. [Biden] again yelled at Commander and attached the leash to him.”

Zoom out: The reports show Biden was also present during attacks on October 2, 2022, and December 11, 2022. In the December attack, the agent was left with a 1.5cm gash and bruising on their arm, as well as cuts on his hand and thumb.

Agents warn each other: After a separate attack later that month, on September 25, one agent wrote to another: “FYI- there was a dog bite and the Officer may need to go to the hospital … Have a safe shift!”

Asking for action: An official in the agency’s Safety, Health, & Environmental Division asked: “Can we please find a way to get this dog muzzled.”

Commander was finally removed from the White House in February.

Big picture: We shouldn’t be surprised that Joe is a bad dog parent. After all, he is the same man who raised Hunter Biden.

Take action: This is the sort of work Judicial Watch does every day. They’re also fighting to prevent voter fraud in the 2024 election. You can help their mission by signing the petition to secure our elections here.

Biden’s WH Tranny Accused of Rape — Blamed Having a ‘Phallus.’

Rose Montoya, a transgender TikTok personality whom Joe Biden invited to the White House, faces accusations of sexually assaulting multiple people. Montoya, a biological male who exposed his mock breasts at a White House Pride event, allegedly abused at least five individuals over several years.

Jesse Diamond, a biologically female transman, and pornographer known online as TransMuscleBear, recounted her experience with Montoya on social media. Diamond, who was recovering from a transgender mutilation surgery at the time, posted screenshots of an email purportedly sent by Montoya. It contains an apology, stating, “I broke your trust and violated you,” and “I’m sorry I forced myself on you.”

Montoya’s purported apology shows guilt-tripping directed at Diamond. He claims he thought the biological woman was “triggered by me simply having a phallus” and laments that this “caused me so much pain and dysphoria.”

TRAUMA. 

Diamond claims the abuse was persistent, lasting nearly a year, and traumatic. “I attempted to end my life on more than one occasion due to how depressed I was from the trauma,” Diamond shared. She said she avoided intimacy for almost two years after her third transgender surgery as a result of the alleged abuse.

Diamond indicates that there are at least four other victims and stresses the severity of her own experiences. “I was incapable of walking the first 10+ times that she [sic] r*ped me,” Diamond wrote. “I couldn’t run away if I tried & I couldn’t afford to stay anywhere else.” She also revealed that Montoya attempted to obtain a restraining order to silence her but was denied by a judge.

Diamond urges viewers to ask Montoya to take accountability rather than issue threats. In the email excerpts Diamond shares, Montoya appears to admit to the assaults and express regret.

Diamond emphasizes that she will present Montoya’s confession in court if necessary.

175,000+ Weed-Linked Convictions to be Mass Pardoned.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore plans to issue a mass pardon for over 175,000 marijuana convictions on Monday. The clemency will address low-level marijuana possession charges. Additionally, Governor Moore (D-MD) emphasized the move will redress long-standing social and economic injustices disproportionately affecting minority communities in Maryland.

Criminal records can often used to deny housing, employment, and educational opportunities, which, Governor Moore argues, hampers inclusive economic growth. Moore’s pardon is described as one of the most extensive executive actions focusing on drug-related convictions following a state’s legalization of marijuana.

According to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), nine states and various municipalities across the U.S. have undertaken similar actions. The Maryland clemency announcement coincides with Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

While an increasing number of American states have moved to legalize marijuana use among adults—and issue clemency for those with prior possession arrests, data has begun to indicate that the move towards legalization might have been overly hasty. In May, Thailand Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin made a surprising about-face on the nation’s approach to marijuana, declaring that the substance would be reclassified as a narcotic by the close of 2024. The move comes as the legalization of marijuana use only worsened the country’s drug crisis.

Meanwhile, an over-decade-long experiment with decriminalizing all drugs in Portugal appears to have failed, with public opinion increasingly turning against the policy. Even in the United States, where Oregon enacted reforms similar to Portugal, the Democrat governor recently signed emergency legislation into law decriminalizing drug possession after an epidemic of overdoses and violence.

The National Pulse reported in late May that marijuana use had overtaken alcohol among Americans—driven by the drug’s increasingly legal status. However, the shift in usage has raised increasing concerns about addiction and marijuana’s mental health impacts.
