Prince Harry is ‘Very Anxious’ About His U.S. Immigration Status.

Prince Harry will be feeling “very anxious” as a judge examines his immigration papers, according to royal expert Charlotte Griffiths.

The Heritage Foundation has been attempting to secure the prince’s papers under the Freedom of Information Act, after he revealed an extensive history of drug abuse, some of which occurred on U.S. soil, in his memoir Spare.

“The most likely thing that will happen is Harry’s going to be feeling very anxious somewhere in Montecito right now, and for the next few days,” said Griffiths. “It’s going to be really embarrassing because they’ve already hinted that his defense might be that he lied about drug use in Spare. We all know that he was trying to sell copies of his book, so I imagine that before deportation, there might be some sort of embarrassing climbdown,” she added.

Lawyers for the Joe Biden regime have argued privacy rules protect the papers. Heritage argues they are a matter of public interest, as Harry’s memoir admissions suggest he either lied about his drug abuse on his visa or admitted it and was granted a visa anyway, which would mean he received special treatment. Judge Carl Nichols is currently reviewing the papers in camera to determine whether or not they should be released.

Donald Trump has already confirmed that if he returns to the White House, the renegade royal will receive no special treatment from his administration and could be deported.

More Latinos Than Ever Want a Border Wall, Mass Deportations.

The construction of a border wall between the United States and Mexico is now supported by nearly half of Latino voters, according to a new poll. Additionally, almost 40 percent of those same voters support deporting all illegal immigrants from the U.S.

According to the Axios-Ipsos survey, support for the border wall has jumped 12–points since December 2021, with 42 percent of Latino voters saying they now support the construction. The survey also — for the first time — asked Latino voters if they backed the president closing the U.S.-Mexico border if too many illegal immigrants were seen crossing into the country. Nearly two-thirds of respondents (64 percent) believed the president should have the authority to close the border.

Overall, immigration ranked as the third most important issue for Latino voters — behind crime and inflation. Over the past several months, polls have shown consistent weakness for President Joe Biden on all three issues — with voters overwhelmingly saying that former President Donald Trump is more capable of handling these problems.

Chris Jackson, senior vice president and pollster at Ipsos, said the survey “illustrates that some immigration hardline positions (are) incrementally more popular” among the Latino voter demographic. The data adds further credence to recent polls, which suggest Latino and Hispanic support for former President Donald Trump is growing because of his tougher stance on illegal immigration.

The National Pulse reported in late March that 74 percent of Hispanic voters backed using the term “Illegal” to describe Laken Riley’s murderer — Venezuelan national Jose Antonio Ibarra. A February Marist poll showed that nearly 60 percent of Hispanic voters disapprove of President Biden’s open border policies.

‘Not One Dollar!’ Trump Vows No More Funding for NPR After Editor Reveals Ingrained Bias.

Donald Trump has called for NPR to be defunded after Uri Berliner, a senior business editor at the state-funded broadcaster, revealed how anti-Trump bias and woke ideology have skewed its news coverage in recent years.

Berliner revealed that NPR journalists actively worked towards damaging or toppling Trump’s presidency, aligning themselves heavily with Representative Adam Schiff and the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory while burying news of Hunter Biden’s  “laptop from hell.”

“NO MORE FUNDING FOR NPR, A TOTAL SCAM!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“EDITOR SAID THEY HAVE NO REPUBLICANS, AND IS ONLY USED TO ‘DAMAGE TRUMP.’ THEY ARE A LIBERAL DISINFORMATION MACHINE,” he continued, adding: “NOT ONE DOLLAR!!!”

Berliner revealed that NPR was quick to dismiss the “lab leak” theory of Covid’s origins. He also revealed that staff were tasked with “identifying and ending systemic racism” — a woke conspiracy theory that holds ethnic minorities are being systematically oppressed in society to benefit white people.

NPR receives tens of millions of dollars in public funding, much of which is routed indirectly through local radio stations.

WATCH: ‘Anytime, Anywhere, Anyplace!’ – Trump Throws Down Gauntlet to Biden.

Donald Trump has thrown down the gauntlet to Joe Biden to debate him on the direction of the United States under his stewardship, pledging to face the Democrat “anytime, anywhere, anyplace.”

“It’s time for Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of the United States, and I to debate,” Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social.

“We have to talk about what he’s doing and where we’re going,” he continued.

“We owe it to our country, we owe it to all Americans. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace!”

Trump’s public challenge follows legacy broadcasters ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and Fox News drafting a joint letter urging the former president and the incumbent to “publicly commit to participating in general election debates before November’s election.”

Biden, 81, has repeatedly declined to commit to debates currently set for September and October, fearing the Commission on Presidential Debates will be unable to impose its rules on Trump once they are face-to-face.

Several J6 Defendants Granted Early Release.

The three January 6 defendants challenging their convictions under the broad application of The Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002’s “obstruction of an official proceeding” provision have been granted early release pending their appeal. In June, the United States Supreme Court is set to decide whether President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice overreached when broadly applying the 2002 financial regulatory law’s enhanced felonies to rioters at the U.S. Capitol.

Established in the wake of the Enron scandal, Sarbanes-Oxley ostensibly addresses crimes committed by individuals in the accounting and financial industries. The “obstruction of an official proceeding” provision was meant to apply to actions taken to cover up financial crimes — such as document destruction — in the course of a federal investigation. However, the vague language of the provision has allowed Biden’s DOJ to use it as a tool in prosecuting the January 6 defendants.

The Biden government’s use of Sarbanes-Oxley in the Capitol riot cases has thus far been upheld by 14 out of 15 federal trial judges overseeing the prosecutions. However, Judge Carl Nichols, who was appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump, has challenged the law’s application. Judge Nichols’s dissent from his colleagues could potentially sway the high court’s decision on the January 6 prosecutions.

The Supreme Court ruling could have a far-reaching effect beyond the three defendants who requested the appeal. More than 100 of the January 6 prosecutions are at least partially reliant on provisions in Sarbanes-Oxley, and any ruling by the high court narrowing the law’s scope could see most of these defendants released early. Additionally, DOJ special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump over his alleged role in the January 6 riots is – in part – built off of the 2002 financial crime law’s “obstruction of an official proceeding” provision.

Zelensky Appears to Reject Alleged Trump Peace Plan.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed a rumored peace plan from Donald Trump suggesting Ukraine relinquishes territory to Russia to resolve the conflict. The plan, according to a report from The Washington Post, would have Ukraine cede the Donbas region and recognize Russian sovereignty over the Crimean peninsula in exchange for a cessation of hostilities. Several global leaders, including NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, have floated similar ideas for ending the war.

“If the deal is that we just give up our territories, and that’s the idea behind it, then it’s a very primitive idea,” Zelensky said in a recent interview. He added: “I don’t need a fantastic idea, I need a real idea, because people’s lives are at stake.” Ukrainian officials have repeatedly balked at the possibility the country may have to give up a portion of its territory to Russia as part of a peace agreement.

Tamila Tasheva, the top Ukrainian official overseeing Crimea for the Zelensky government, told The Daily Beast that ceding land to Russia would only embolden its territorial ambitions. “It’s crucial to recognize that any retreats made by Ukraine at this point could potentially fuel future escalations. It’s weakness, rather than the capability to resist, that emboldens Russia’s actions,” she said.

The Trump campaign has suggested The Washington Post‘s reporting on the former President’s proposed peace plan is inaccurate. “Any speculation about President Trump’s plan is coming from unnamed and uninformed sources who have no idea what is going on or what will happen,” campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in response to the report.

EXC: Trump Tells DeSantis ‘Welcome Back’ After FL Governor Pledges to Campaign, Raise Cash.

PALM BEACH, Florida—President Donald J. Trump took to the stage at his Mar-a-Lago club late Wednesday night, following a busy day campaigning in Atlanta, Georgia, and Orlando, Florida. Trump said his trip raised a further $15,000,000 for his campaign, which just this week announced a bumper $50M boost from a high-level fundraiser.

Speaking for around an hour to a gathering of Truth Social staffers, stakeholders, and supporters, Trump explained how he had been on the road since around 6AM, culminating in a lengthy speech to a crowd that included actor Jon Voight, singer Lee Greenwood, and political supporters.

Trump heaped praise on many present in the crowd and made note of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s pledge to raise money for and campaign with the presumptive GOP nominee.

Rounding off his oft-told story of DeSantis’s duplicity and lack of loyalty, Trump noted: “Today, I heard very nice things. I heard he’s going to campaign very hard for me. And he’s going to raise a lot of money for me. Ron, we like you. Welcome back.”

His remarks also made numerous references to the success of his social media platform, Truth Social, as well as the hard work of those involved in the project, including former Congressman Devin Nunes, Kash Patel, Donald Trump Jr., and more.

Jack Smith Blasted for ‘Failure’ to Address Opposing Arguments.

Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over DOJ special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump over allegations he mishandled classified documents, chided the Biden government attorney multiple times for failing to respond to arguments made by opposing parties in an April 9 court filing. While Judge Cannon agreed to Smith’s motion asking the names of witnesses in the trial be redacted, she accused the special counsel at least eight times in her ruling of having failed to respond to objections raised by a coalition of press organizations who weighed in against Smith’s motion.

“The Special Counsel had two opportunities to raise these arguments and failed to do so in both instances. The Special Counsel’s initial Seal Request failed to offer a governing legal framework or any factual support for the relief sought,” Cannon wrote in her ruling. She continued: “Later, in response to the Press Coalition’s Motion, the Special Counsel failed to engage with — let alone refute — the Press Coalition’s argument that the First Amendment attached to the subject materials.”

The judge also criticized Smith for failing to comply with the court’s rules regarding the sealing of sensitive filings. “And this is to say nothing of the Special Counsel’s failure to comply with this District’s Local Rules on sealing, which the Court has emphasized repeatedly throughout this proceeding,” Judge Cannon wrote.

Prior to this most recent ruling, the relationship between the special counsel and Judge Cannon had already been under strain. Last week, the two tangled over the judge’s order requesting both Smith and attorneys for former President Donald Trump submit draft jury instructions, including arguments about the potential applicability of the Presidential Records Act. This latest episode suggests that the judge’s opinion of Smith may have fallen even further.

Could RFK Join The Biden-Trump Debates? Here’s What the Rules Say…

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. could be the first third-party candidate to qualify for a presidential debate since Ross Perot in 1992. However, the scion of the Kennedy clan needs to jump through a few hoops before he finds himself on a debate stage with President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Whether RFK, Jr. is allowed to debate alongside the Republican and Democrat Party nominees will largely depend on who organizes the presidential debate itself. Debates sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) have a series of criteria that third-party candidates must meet before they’re included on the debate stage.

COMMISSION DEBATE RULES.

New CPD rules adopted in 2019 require candidates to garner an average of 15 percent of the vote, averaged across five national presidential polls. Additionally, third-party candidates must have acquired ballot access in enough states to demonstrate their electoral viability. This means they, at least hypothetically, could win the 270 electoral votes required to secure the presidency.

RFK, Jr. does not currently meet either of the CPD’s stipulations. Recent national polling shows the Kennedy family member garnering between 8 and 11 percent of the vote, falling short of the 15 percent threshold. Additionally, the independent presidential candidate remains well shy of being mathematically able to win the presidency, having achieved ballot access in only a handful of states.

RFK JR. SHORT OF QUALIFYING, FOR NOW.

The Kennedy campaign site indicates that the candidate has secured a ballot line in only seven states — including Hawaii, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, North Carolina, and New Hampshire. This comes to a total of 37 electoral votes, well shy of the 270 needed to win the White House. However, analysis by The National Pulse indicates that RFK, Jr. may be closer to electoral viability than his campaign lets on, having exceeded ballot qualification criteria in at least ten states when accounting for write-in rules — meaning he could win a maximum of 90 electors at the moment.

ALTERNATIVE DEBATE?

The CPD rules may not matter at all since the Republican National Committee (RNC) appears to be still boycotting the group’s sponsorship of presidential debates. An alternative debate agreed to by the Republican and Democratic Parties could potentially include Kennedy — though whether Biden or Trump would greenlight his inclusion is unclear.

BREAKING: Warrantless Surveillance Reauthorization Defeated After Trump Urges Republicans To ‘Kill FISA.’

Legislation extending the parts of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act failed on the House floor after former President Donald Trump urged Republicans to reject efforts to reauthorize the law, which permits certain forms of warrantless surveillance by the U.S. government. In a post on Truth Social directed at lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Trump wrote: “KILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!!”

The former President’s move presented a considerable challenge to Republican defense hawks and their efforts to secure the votes to pass a reauthorization of the controversial law. House Republicans have been grappling with two separate bills addressing the future of FISA for several months now.

Despite the backlash, Republican House leadership proceeded with a vote on the bill Wednesday afternoon. The bill aimed to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, making only minor amendments. At least sixteen House Republicans opposed the rule to begin debate on the legislation, effectively blocking its path to adoption. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) had already voiced his intention to thwart the legislation earlier in the day.

Prior to the vote, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY)– the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee – said he believed the rule vote to begin debate on FISA reauthorization would fail.
