House passes resolution to automatically enroll men aged 18-26 in military draft | 14 June 2024 | The House of Representatives passed a resolution Friday that automatically enrolls young men for selective service, and expands the mandatory draft ages by one years, to men aged 18-26. Young men are already required to register for selective service if they are between the ages of 18 and 25, but the new resolution would enroll them automatically. Although the draft has not been used in half a century, it is considered a felony if an eligible man fails to register, Fox News reported. The resolution was included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which approves the defense budget for the next fiscal year, and includes the government’s top priorities when it comes to defense and national security policies. The NDAA passed the House in a 217-199 vote.

Six people killed in Ukrainian strike on apartment block –A residential building in Russia’s Shebekino has partially collapsed after the attack | 14 June 2024 | Six civilians were killed when Ukrainian troops struck a five-story apartment block in the city of Shebekino in Russia’s western Belgorod Region, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said in the early hours of Saturday. The death toll rose as rescuers recovered more bodies from the rubble of the residential building that partially collapsed following Friday’s strike. Gladkov initially said that seven residents were hospitalized. He later wrote on Telegram that the female victim had succumbed to her wounds.

Anthony Fauci’s department tried to create mutant monkeypox virus that had pandemic potential – Congress report | 12 June 2024 | Dr. Anthony Fauci’s former department “deceived” Congress over its plans to create a Frankenstein monkeypox virus that had pandemic potential, a new report says. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) submitted plans to create a more transmissible and more lethal strain of Mpox in 2015, when Dr Fauci was still in charge of the agency. The plans only received widespread attention in late 2022 – amid concerns that Covid may have been borne out of similar experiments using U.S. government grant m-ney in China. The blueprint to create a mutant Mpox virus raised major concerns among experts and led to an investigation by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which released the results from its year-and-a-half probe this week. The report said the HHS, NIAID and NIH repeatedly “obstructed and misled the committee” about whether the risky experiments had been approved and conducted, describing their cooperation with the probe as “unacceptable and potentially criminal.”

COVID Vaccine Mandates Ruled Unconstitutional | 12 June 2024 | A federal court just ruled against the constitutionality of COVID-19 vaccines mandates — and the ruling is liable to reach well beyond the 2020 coronavirus outbreak. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (one rung below the U.S. Supreme Court) ruled the Los Angeles United School District (LAUSD), which required teachers and other employees to get the COVID-19 jab “or lose their jobs interfered with their fundamental right to refuse medical treatment.” The 9th Circuit reversed a lower court’s ruling in Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF) v. Alberto Carvalho [superintendent of LAUSD]. The ruling is, for all intents and purposes, the law of the land — at least for the time being. Similar cases are working their way through the courts in other regions of the U.S. No doubt the HFDF ruling will embolden groups who believe they were harmed by vaccine mandates in employers’ COVID-19 policies to keep the litigation ball rolling.

Two dozen companies working to find bird flu vaccine for cows, U.S. agriculture secretary says | 12 June 2024 | Twenty-four companies are working to develop an avian flu vaccine for cattle, as the virus spreads among U.S. dairy herds, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told Reuters on Wednesday. Bird flu has infected 90 dairy herds across 12 states since late March, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Three dairy farm workers also have been infected with the virus, two in Michigan and one in Texas. In addition to the two dozen companies working at varying stages of vaccine development, the USDA is conducting its own preliminary research into a vaccine at its laboratory in Ames, Iowa, Vilsack said in an interview.

Johnson says House will take Garland subpoena to court after DOJ’s response to contempt vote | 14 June 2024 | House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed disappointment Friday in the Justice Department’s (DOJ) decision not to prosecute Attorney General Merrick Garland after the House voted to hold him in contempt for not fulfilling a subpoena, but said he plans to move forward by taking the subpoena to federal court and certifying the contempt reports. The DOJ said Garland’s refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena does not “constitute a crime.” The subpoena instructed Garland to turn over an audio recording of Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents. The House voted to hold Garland in contempt on Wednesday. “The House disagrees with the assertions in the letter from the Department of Justice, and as Speaker, I will be certifying the contempt reports to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia,” Johnson said in a post to X. “It is sadly predictable that the Biden Administration’s Justice Department will not prosecute Garland for defying congressional subpoenas even though the department aggressively prosecuted Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for the same thing.”

U.S. Supreme Court rejects federal ban on gun ‘bump stocks’ | 14 June 2024 | The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday declared unlawful a federal ban on “bump stock” devices that enable semiautomatic weapons to fire rapidly like machine guns, rejecting yet another firearms restriction – this time one enacted under Republican former President Donald Trump. The justices, in a 6-3 ruling authored by conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, upheld a lower court’s decision siding with Michael Cargill, a gun shop owner and gun rights advocate from Austin, Texas, who challenged the ban by claiming that a U.S. agency improperly interpreted a federal law banning machine guns as extending to bump stocks. The conservative justices were in the majority, with the liberal justices dissenting. The rule was imposed in 2019 by Trump’s administration after the devices were used during a 2017 mass shooting [false flag] that killed 58 people at a Las Vegas country music festival.

Pressure mounts on Biden admin to issue national terrorism alert after arrest of suspected ISIS-tied border crossers | 14 June 2024 | Former homeland security officials are slamming the Biden regime for failing to issue a national terror threat bulletin for over a year – despite a string of serious potential terror threats stemming from the southern border. The arrest of eight individuals from Tajikistan believed to have links to the ISIS terror organization — in addition to several recent accidental releases of migrants whose names appear on the terror watchlist — should be enough to alert the public to a terrorist threat, the former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials told The Post… Former acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan told The Post the terrorism “threat posed by the current chaos and lawlessness at our border” justifies a new alert to the public.

ICE arrests 8 men with possible ties to ISIS in Philly, NY, LA, sources say | 11 June 2024 | U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested eight men from Tajikistan with potential ties to ISIS in Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles over the weekend, sources with NBC News confirmed on Tuesday. Tajikistan is a country in Central Asia surrounded by Afghanistan, China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The men were on the radar of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force due to their potential ties to ISIS, the sources said. Sources told NBC News the eight men crossed through the southern border into the United States and their criminal background checks came back clean at the time. At least two of the men crossed the border in the spring of 2023 and one of the men used the CBP One app, which was created by the Biden regime [at the behest of the deep state] to allow migrants to book appointments to claim asylum [and later vote for the dirt-bags who are driving this clown car], according to officials.

Migrants continue to stream into Boston airport as more than 100 sleep on the floor –Migration population at airport has continued to increase | 12 June 2024 | More than 100 migrants are sleeping on the floors of Boston’s Logan International Airport as more continue to stream in and use the facility as a shelter. A police source confirmed to Fox News that the hundreds of people pictured lining the floors of Boston’s main air hub with makeshift beds and air mattresses are migrants that have been using the facility as a shelter. The number of migrants being housed at the airport has increased in recent weeks, according to a report from the New York Post, increasing from only a few dozen who were at the facility a few months ago.

Hunter Biden labeled ‘lobbyist’ in his tax indictment, foreshadowing potential charges | 14 June 2024 | Prosecutors in Hunter Biden’s upcoming tax trial referred to the first son as a lobbyist in the indictment. Biden originally worked as a lobbyist for a brief period in between 2001 and 2008, stopping before his father ran for president. But, Biden continued to skirt the line of official lobbying throughout his later business career as he partnered with foreign partners that sought to influence U.S. policy. This work has potentially opened him up to more legal jeopardy as the Justice Department considers whether he violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) — the same law that brought down former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. “Defendant ROBERT HUNTER BIDEN (hereafter ‘the Defendant’) was a Georgetown – and Yale-educated lawyer, lobbyist, consultant, and businessperson and, beginning in April 2018, a resident of Los Angeles, California,” the introduction to Biden’s indictment in the Central District of California reads.

Biden repeatedly watched his dog attack Secret Service as staff wished each other ‘safe shift’ – docs | 13 June 2024 | Joe Biden repeatedly watched his German shepherd Commander attack Secret Service members, who wished each other a “safe shift” as the number of incidents mounted – with one exasperated workplace safety professional urging the use of a muzzle, agency records show. The number of dog attacks involving Commander, who the White House said in February was given away after more than two years terrorizing professionals assigned to protect Biden; and former first dog Major, who was re-homed in 2021 after also attacking personnel; could top three dozen, the newly surfaced records suggest. The 81-year-old Biden, who reportedly accused a Secret Service member of lying about being attacked by Major during his first year in office, was present for at least three separate attacks involving Commander, files released to Judicial Watch under Freedom of Information Act litigation show.
