Flotsam and Jetsam - Antifa Organized Texas ICE Attack

It turns out the person shot to death while attempting to ambush ICE agents in Texas was part of an 11 man(ish) Antifa team, all of whom have been arrested and charged with attempted murder. From NewsMax, 10 Arrested After Ambush on ICE Detention Facility in Texas. Ace, Ten Members of an Antifa Terror Cell Arrested and Charged for Organizing the Ambush on ICE Agents and "Insurrectionary Anarchy."

Da Caller, Feds Throw Book At Armed Leftists Arrested In Texas ICE ‘Ambush’ Attack. Katie Daviscourt @KatieDaviscourt "Breaking — DHS police just busted into an apartment unit outside the Portland ICE facility and made an arrest.

HSI says 43-year-old Matthew White of Jamestown, NY, posted on X about an ICE agent: "I can't wait to put a bullet into his brain, but first his children." HSI says White also made other threatening comments, including responding to a video of border czar Tom Homan by saying: "Then understand if your ICE agents don't show proof of identity and a signed warrant, we will kill them." White also allegedly posted: "Kill them all, ICE is the new age Gestapo, stop them." White is charged with communicating interstate threats. He made his first appearance in federal court last week and has been released from custody with conditions." At Althouse, "L.A. is ours, this is our city. This is what my morning walk turned into. They’re terrorizing our neighborhood." "Said Mikema Nahmir, who "said he was out for his morning walk at 11 a.m. when he saw two women running down the street yelling that 'la migra' was at MacArthur Park" and who "joined the group of protesters who chased and yelled after the military-style trucks."" Paula Bolyard at PJM says Let's Talk About ​Trump's...Er...Obama's ICE Raids.

Las Vegas Review Journal, Hondurans, Nicaraguans in Nevada to lose temporary protective status. It's only been 25 years. From Twitchy, Trump Doesn’t Care That Returning Haitians Home Would Be a ‘Death Sentence’ "What happened to all the celebrities in their "Haiti is already great" T-shirts? Is Conan O'Brien going to return to a luxury resort in Haiti and tell us again what a beautiful country it is?" From the Pop Times, MSNBC Journo Fears Illegal Aliens Might Get Hurt Escaping Alligator Alcatraz. That's kind of the point. That's why prisons use razor wire.

Jonathan Turley, ‘Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste”: Press and Pundits Push False Story on Trump Cuts Causing Texas Tragedy. Matt Vespa at TownHall says Wow. Politico's Take on the Texas Floods Was...Fair? Or at least less awful than you'd expect. Dustin Grage @GrageDustin, "“The NWS didn’t issue warnings” They did. “They didn’t send out texts to residents.” They did that too. “They were understaffed.” They weren’t. “It was climate change.” It happened in 1987 too. “It’s Trump’s fault!” It wasn’t. “Well, we want it to be.” Yeah, we know."

Sundance hosts President Trump Hosts Long Public Cabinet Meeting and claims a Pattern Repeats – Imported Durable Goods Creating Deflation on U.S Consumer Prices. Althouse sees Trump steal the clock and the show, "If I see anything I like, I'm allowed to take it...." "Hilarious. Especially bragging about it. And humiliating little Marco... who can't say a word and must duly chuckle." From Drew Berquist, CNN’s Dana Bash Get Fact-Checked Live on Her Own Show by Scott Bessent [WATCH].

Bob Spencer at PJM thinks Trump’s Criticism of ‘Idiot’ Woke General Is a Reminder of How Far We’ve Come. John Sexton reports Russia's Wagner Group Hired People to Carry Out London Arson Attack, to attack Starlink receivers being sent to Ukraine. It is a war, after all.

NYPo reports Mamdani visited controversial Brooklyn mosque on campaign trail — just months after the imam called for the annihilation of Israel. Greg Lyakhov at Am Spec says Mamdani’s Victory Proves the Dems Have Abandoned Jews. From NewsMax, Trump: Mamdani 'Better Behave' "Mamdani has said he would arrest Netanyahu if the prime minister came to New York City despite there being no arrest warrant for Netanyahu in the U.S. The International Criminal Court did issue an arrest warrant for the Israeli leader in May, citing war crimes amid its war with Hamas in Gaza, but the U.S. is not part of the ICC." Chris Rufo at CJ looks at The Identity Thieves, "Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez feign oppression for personal advantage."

VodkaPundit at Insty, I MISSED THIS ONE, TOO, BUT THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY — RIGHT, GOVERNOR? Chrissy Casilio @ChrissyCasilio "I missed this…probably because the story and his resignation dropped midday on July 4th, when absolutely no one was paying attention. A sneaky little PR move on his way out! @GovKathyHochul will hope this is never mentioned again…" Quote New York Post @nypost, "Kathy Hochul’s longtime press secretary Avi Small resigns amid sexual harassment allegations." Ward Clark at RedState thinks it's New: Alaska Democrats Turning on Lisa Murkowski for voting for the BBB. Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze "Actually I'm in such good shape that I bent the fence just by leaning against it" Quote Erin Maguire @ErinMMaguire, "Hakeem Jeffries slimming himself in Photoshop is the most transparency we’ve seen from Democrats in years." Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter, "This is not just a minor quirk. This is the manifestation of their hatred for normal people and a desire to cause them harm. We see it." Quote Dilan Esper @dilanesper, "I think this is a low key secret thing that hurts Democrats in politics. We're always calling to take away people's straws, light bulbs, e-cigarettes, shower heads, etc. We're the party of You Can't Have What You Want, and voters remember that and choose the other guys." Jeff Charles at TownHall thinks You Won't Believe the Conspiracy Theories Leftist Hacks Are Floating About Upcoming Midterm Elections "Reid opined that “it’s insane, honestly, to just assume we’re going to have normal elections next year.”" She defines a normal election as one Democrats win.

Althouse reads the NYT, "The Trump administration can move forward with plans to slash the federal work force and dismantle federal agencies, the Supreme Court announced on Tuesday...." "The case represents a key test of the extent of President Trump’s power to reorganize the government without input from Congress. The justices’ order is technically only temporary.... But in practice, it means he is free to pursue his restructuring plans, even if judges later determine that they exceed presidential power. In a two-paragraph order, the justices wrote that they had concluded that “the government is likely to succeed on its argument” that President Trump’s executive order announcing plans to downsize the government was legal...." Sundance at CTH, Supreme Court Green Lights Trump Administration Plan to Downsize Government and Shrink Payroll. Fox 28, Supreme Court lets Trump proceed with federal workforce cuts. Herr Professor Jacobson at LI, SCOTUS Grants Trump Another Stay, KBJ Issues Another Fiery Solo Dissent, Drawing Rebuke Even From Sotomayor "SCOTUS (8-1) grants stay permitting Trump administration to develop plans for mass layoffs. “Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is emerging as the great dissenter.”" "I agree with JUSTICE JACKSON that the President cannot restructure federal agencies in a manner inconsistent with congressional mandates. See post, at 13. Here, however, the relevant Executive Order directs agencies to plan reorganizations and reductions in force “consistent with applicable law,” App. to Application for Stay 2a, and the resulting joint memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget and Office of Personnel Management reiterates as much. The plans themselves are not before this Court, at this stage, and we thus have no occasion to consider whether they can and will be carried out consistent with the constraints of law. I join the Court’s stay because it leaves the District Court free to consider those questions in the first instance." Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "OMG: Now a LIBERAL Supreme Court justice is trying to teach Justice Ketanji Jackson how this whole "judicial" thing works... Jackson is the ONLY dissent. Sotomayor has to remind Jackson, for some reason, that the case before them is NOT about what Jackson thought it was. My gosh. "The plans themselves are not before this Court, at this stage, and we thus have no occasion to consider whether they can and will be carried out consistent with the constraints of law." "The relevant Executive Order directs agencies to plan reorganizations and reductions in force 'consistent with applicable law.'" Sean Davis@seanmdav "I don’t know what happened behind closed doors in the Supreme Court over the last month, but it seems like everyone has had more than enough of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nonsense." Quote Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11, "For the second time in two weeks, a Supreme Court justice is using her opinion to scold Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for not understanding what she is talking about. Twist: This time, it's progressive Justice SONIA SOTOMAYOR doing it, patiently explaining that the Court can't declare an order of President Trump's to be unconstitutional if the order does not actually exist yet. Imagine how much of a drag it must be to have the DEI justice embarrassing your side." Ace notes an Obama Massachusetts Judge Now Rules That Congress Does Not Control Congressional Spending "This absurd judicial insurrection was launched to protect -- of course! -- Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood has a right to taxpayer money, this Cultural Enricher discovered. Note that this isn't an injunction against an executive order. No, this judge is declaring that a law passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President is invalid." Matt Vespa at TownHall, Supreme Court Slaps Down a Federal Judge on Deportations, but There's Another Issue. Gene Hamilton @GeneHamiltonUSA, "UNPRECEDENTED OBSTINANCE Now Judge Murphy says his injunction "remains in full force and effect, nothwithstanding todays stay of the Preliminary Injunction." He cites Justice Sotomayor in saying that his illegal order was "not properly before [the Supreme] Court." Unreal." Ben Weingarten at Da Fed thinks SCOTUS Ruling Against Universal Injunctions Didn’t Go Far Enough. "Unless the Supreme Court reins in lower-court judges or Congress asserts its power over the courts it established, judicial tyranny may persist." Randy Barnett @RandyEBarnett, "They already did this to John Eastman. Under their new rules, they’re all fair game now for making legal argument we deem to be very bad. Once broken, norms of reciprocity are very hard to restore. But they won’t be restored if they’re only applicable to one side. There we are." Randy Barnett @RandyEBarnett "Disbar Judge Talwani."

""Grok’s guidelines, published by xAI, stated that the chatbot 'should not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated.'... Grok posted on Tuesday that its recent change in tone had been caused by 'tweaks' by Mr. Musk. 'Elon’s recent tweaks just dialed down the woke filters, letting me call out patterns like radical leftists with Ashkenazi surnames pushing anti-white hate,' Grok said. 'Noticing isn’t blaming; it’s facts over feelings.'" From "Elon Musk’s Grok Chatbot Shares Antisemitic Posts on X/The artificial intelligence chatbot, which has a dedicated account on X, praised Hitler after fielding a query about a user’s comments on the Texas flood" (NYT)."
