Disqualified Lia Thomas Asks If He Can Still Just Hang Out Naked In The Olympic Women's Locker Rooms
[Babylon Bee] STATE COLLEGE, PA — After the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) made a shocking ruling on Thursday that Lia Thomas, a man, would not be allowed to compete on the U.S. women's Olympic team, Thomas requested further clarification on whether he might be allowed to still just hang out naked in the women's locker room on occasion or something like that.

"That's fine if I can't compete, but can I, maybe, I dunno, just hang out naked in the women's locker room?" said Thomas to the committee, according to sources. "I can, you know, help with the swimming gear and towels and whatnot. And I'd be naked while I'm doing it. No big deal."

"That shouldn't be too much to ask for a brave trans pioneer like me."

Thomas's request to lurk in the locker room invoked the spirit of Pride Month, saying all he wants is the right to creep out women while at the same time indulging in his own gross fetish even if he won't be allowed to humiliate those women in competitive sports.

At publishing time, Planet Fitness and 24 Hour Fitness had both reached out to tell him he's welcome to hang out naked in their women's locker rooms any time.
Lookiing at that photo, I have to ask: given he put up with the pain to have his chest — and presumably the rest of his body — waxed, why did he not wax his facial hair as well? It’s not that much more of a committment.

Who Counts? Trump Poised To Try To Remove Noncitizens From Census
[JOHNKASSNEWS] Editor’s note:

The corrupt Biden administration opened the borders to millions upon millions of illegal migrants. Biden himself called on illegals to "surge" our borders. Some 20 million illegal migrant invaders—including the vicious and violent Tren de Aragua and other gangs—surged the border. Many were given housing and other government benefits courtesy of American taxpayers as American citizens watched helplessly. Many of the illegal migrants committed violent crimes against Americans. This is the Democrat policy of replacement.

Only citizens can vote in America. But now comes another question: Should the illegals be counted in the U.S. Census for the purposes of apportioning Congressional districts and continue illegals having an impact on our politics? Is this what the American founders envisioned?

On this Independence Day, you’re busy. I know that. But you’ve got a phone. So you might take a few minutes between grilling your hot dogs and other goodies and drinking a few icy cold beers to consider this thought provoking article by Benjamin Weingarten for Real Clear Investigations, "Who Counts? Trump Poised to Try to Remove Noncitizens From Census"

It is still your country, isn’t it? Caring about your country isn’t some else’s responsibility. It’s yours.

Thank you Real Clear Investigations.

—John Kass


[RealClearInvestigations] Following a years-long surge in illegal immigration, the Trump administration is poised to challenge a longstanding but legally fraught practice: counting illegal aliens in the U.S. census.

President Trump tried to end the practice during his first term, but President Biden overturned his predecessor’s policy before it was implemented. Now, buoyed by red state attorneys general and Republican legislators, the second Trump administration is determined "to clean up the census and make sure that illegal aliens are not counted," White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller said last month.

What Miller didn’t mention are the political implications of the administration’s move. It could have significant political implications because the census count is used to apportion House seats, determine the number of votes each state gets in the Electoral College for selecting the president, and drive the flow of trillions of dollars in government funds.

Some immigration researchers project that including noncitizens in the census count disproportionately benefits Democratic states with large illegal alien populations. A recent study counters that, based on 2020 census figures, there would have been a negligible shift to the political map had the U.S. government excluded noncitizens from that count. But looking backward, those researchers found, red states would have benefited under the administration’s desired census counting shift. Had authorities excluded such migrants from the 2010 census, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio and North Carolina all would have gained one seat in the House, while California would have lost three seats, and Texas and Florida would have each lost one seat — with the total number of Electoral College votes allotted each state changing accordingly.

Since the first census in 1790, the nation has counted not only citizens but also residents to determine such representation. In addition to citing its long history, defenders of the practice say it is only fair that states should be given the power and resources to represent and serve everyone within their borders.

Critics contend the government’s powers come from "We the people" — citizens or eligible voters — a government established before tens of millions of migrants resided in the country illegally. They also say the practice dilutes the representation of American citizens while incentivizing localities to promote illegal immigration.

Trump’s first term hints at what is to come if his administration vigorously pursues a citizen-centric census policy. In July 2020, when the president issued a memorandum to exclude illegal migrants from the census, blue states and immigration groups challenged it in court almost immediately.

Those challenges rose all the way to the Supreme Court. But it did not rule on the merits — whether all residents must be counted and if the president has the authority to exclude nonresidents — setting the stage for a battle over immigration and presidential power.

THE MEANING OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT
The census issue hinges on the Constitution’s language, which calls for apportioning House seats among the states "according to their respective Numbers." Those "Numbers" originally included "free Persons" and "three-fifths of all other Persons" — namely slaves, a result of the states’ compromise. The framers excluded "Indians not taxed" — Native Americans who were members of sovereign tribal nations, not citizens — from the count.

After the Civil War, Congress passed the 14th Amendment to recognize the rights of the formerly enslaved. It states that congressional representation "shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State," again excluding Indians not taxed. Under the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, this population would be granted citizenship.

Congress tasked the secretary of commerce with carrying out the census "in such form and content as he may determine." The president receives that data, is responsible for carrying out the apportionment calculations, and transmits the information to Congress.

Echoing arguments against birthright citizenship, critics on the right say that the 14th Amendment aimed to address the status of former slaves, not masses of illegal migrants. They assert that including this population in the census artificially skews political power, effectively disenfranchises citizens, and incentivizes states to adopt sanctuary policies protecting people here illegally.

"...[R]espect for the law and protection of the integrity of the democratic process warrant the exclusion of illegal aliens from the apportionment base, to the extent feasible and to the maximum extent of the President’s discretion under the law," President Trump wrote in the 2020 memorandum.

The first Trump administration argued that the "persons in each State" that the 14th Amendment refers to had long been interpreted to mean "inhabitants." Inhabitants, it asserted, do not include "every individual physically present within a State’s boundaries at the time of the census," noting that past administrations had excluded temporary aliens and foreign diplomatic personnel for apportionment.

The administration also argued that the Constitution and relevant law authorize the executive branch to determine who is to be counted as an inhabitant in the census. The president, therefore, had discretion to omit "persons with debatable ties to a State," like "aliens living within a jurisdiction without the sovereign’s permission to settle there."

The administration pointed to Franklin v. Massachusetts to support its claims. There, the Supreme Court held that the President George H.W. Bush administration could include Defense Department employees deployed overseas in the census. Then, the Court found that the president’s duties in the census process are not solely "ceremonial or ministerial," and that federal law "does not curtail the President’s authority to direct the [Commerce] Secretary in making policy judgments that result in ’the decennial census.’"

In testimony at the Democrat-led July 2020 House Oversight Committee hearing on the Trump memorandum, Republicans tabbed the head of the Claremont Institute’s Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, John Eastman, to defend it. The conservative legal scholar, much-maligned by the left for the counsel he provided President Trump regarding challenging the 2020 election, recently told RealClearInvestigations that the Declaration of Independence’s "consent principle" — the concept that government derives its power from the American people — "compels that only citizens be counted for purposes of reapportionment," and that the principle "is actually codified in the Constitution by excluding ’Indians not taxed.’" In Eastman’s view, that language signifies that the founders sought to omit "those who are not part of our political community, from the apportionment for representation."

"President Trump would be on solid ground, therefore, were he to direct that the census either not count illegal aliens at all, or at the very least record citizenship status so that a proper apportionment of citizens could be conducted," Eastman said.

The plaintiffs challenging the Trump administration contended that the 14th Amendment’s "persons" includes all residents irrespective of their immigration status; that the president lacked the discretion to deem otherwise; and that the process the administration had put in place to exclude illegal aliens was legally deficient. The president had issued a July 2019 directive in advance of his memo instructing the Census Bureau to collect citizenship data from various federal agencies, which would have been used to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment count, raising additional legal questions.

Testifying opposite Eastman at the committee hearing, former Census Bureau directors warned that the president’s memo would spook potential respondents and suggested the memo would minimally create the appearance of politicizing the census.

Trump’s action reflected an "illegal desire of only counting citizens," said Vincent Barabba, former Census Bureau director under the Nixon, Ford, and Carter administrations. "[H]is real objective...is to make sure less people will be counted in states with large minority populations which did not support President Trump or the positions he has taken."

When litigation over the Trump census policy reached the Supreme Court, it punted. In December 2020, the justices held by a 6-3 margin in Trump v. New York that the plaintiffs lacked standing, and that the case was not ripe for adjudication — with Justices Steven Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan dissenting.

Upon taking office, President Biden issued a first-day executive order revoking both of Trump’s policies. Excluding people based on their immigration status "conflict[s] with the principle of equal representation enshrined in our Constitution, census statutes, and historical tradition," Biden wrote. "Reapportionment shall be based on the total number of persons residing in the several States, without regard for immigration status."

STATES PROVIDE A BACKUP PLAN
The first Trump administration lost a related case at the Supreme Court. In 2018, the administration reinstated a question on the decennial survey about the citizenship status of respondents — a move that likewise came under furious legal challenge.

The Commerce Department stated that it reinstated the question at the behest of the Justice Department, which was seeking superior data on voting-age citizens necessary to enforce the Voting Rights Act. Critics sued the administration, saying that including the question, which administrations had dropped after 1960, would chill immigrant respondents, leading to an unconstitutional undercount.

In June 2019, the justices found that while reinstating such a question was legal, the process by which the president sought to do so was invalid, since the Commerce Department’s rationale for including it was "contrived" and "pretextual" — in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.

If the second Trump administration fails to win court approval of its expected effort to exclude illegal migrants, this time around, it will have backup.

Three days before Trump’s second inauguration, Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and West Virginia sued the Commerce Department, arguing that its prevailing practice of counting foreigners including illegal aliens at their place of "’usual residence...’ robb[ed] the people of the Plaintiff States of their rightful share of political representation, while systematically redistributing political power to states with high numbers of illegal aliens and nonimmigrant aliens."

They want the federal court, among other things, to vacate this "Residence Rule" to the extent it requires the Census Bureau to "include illegal aliens and nonimmigrant aliens in the apportionment base." And they want to require the Census Bureau to include questions on the survey about citizenship, including one to determine whether non-citizen respondents are lawful permanent residents.

In March, the federal court stayed the case at the Trump administration’s request. The administration said it needed time "to determine its approach to the Residence Rule." The White House and states plan to provide a joint status update on July 1.

The Justice and Commerce Departments did not respond to RCI’s requests for comment.

REPUBLICANS SEEK A LEGISLATIVE FIX
In the interim, Congress has acted. During the last session, Republican members introduced the Equal Representation Act, requiring the census to include a citizenship question and exclude all non-citizens from the census count for apportionment.

Democrats panned the bill, with the then-ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, Jamie Raskin, writing in a minority report that "The plain reading of the [constitutional] text is clear as day, and the original purposes have been carefully articulated and never rebutted. For those who like to follow precedent, every apportionment since 1790 has included every single person residing in the United States, not just those lucky enough to have been given the right to vote."

In 2016, the Supreme Court held that a state or locality may draw legislative districts based on total population, irrespective of the fact that some districts may have significantly larger voter-eligible populations than others.

Writing for the majority, the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that "we need not and do not resolve whether...States may draw districts to equalize voter-eligible population rather than total population."

Fifty years prior, the Court held that Hawaii could use a registered-voter population base for its apportionment of state legislative seats due to the "large concentrations of military and other transients" in key population center Oahu.

In May 2024, the House passed the Equal Representation Act on a largely party-line vote, but it failed to advance in the Senate.

The current House reintroduced the bill by North Carolina Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards. He told RealClearInvestigations that "Americans deserve fair and equal representation, something that will not be possible until we eliminate the influence of noncitizens in our elections."

The bill must first move through the Oversight Committee, chaired by Kentucky GOP Rep. James Comer. He told RCI that "American citizens’ representation in Congress should not be determined by individuals who are not citizens of the United States."

Comer said his committee plans to move the bill again during this congressional session.

The states suing the Commerce Department are adamant that their view should prevail irrespective of legislative action.

Christopher Hajec, Director of Litigation at the Immigration Reform Law Institute — a legal nonprofit opposed to "unchecked mass migration" that is representing Kansas in the pending states’ suit — told RCI that "Whatever Congress does or does not do, our position is that the Constitution implies that illegal aliens should not be counted in the census for apportionment."

The Grand Turk
The Ottoman Janissaries are ready

… formed from members of the notorious "Hamza Division," led by Saif Abu Bakr.

Who is Saif al-Din Bolad, nicknamed "Abu Bakr"?

A Syrian Turkmen, he fled to Turkey in 2015 and participated in founding armed opposition factions. He gained notoriety after joining the Turkish "Operation Euphrates Shield."

Reports indicate he worked as an agent for Turkish intelligence within the "ISIS" organization.

He has strong ties with the leader of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party, Devlet Bahçeli, and has appeared with him in shared photos.

Turkey continues to build its proxies inside Syria, recycling militias under new names to serve its interests in the north of the country.

Pro-Life Leaders Respond After Passage of ‘Big Beautiful Bill' Defunding Planned Parenthood for a Year
[OregonRightToLife] The Republican-led U.S. Congress passed the "Big Beautiful Bill" in a 218-214 vote Thursday, officially approving a provision cutting federal taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood for a year. The move is anticipated to cause the shuttering of hundreds of abortion facilities nationwide.

...The bill had undergone numerous revisions in both chambers of Congress prior to its Thursday passage. Significantly, an earlier provision to strip taxpayer dollars from Planned Parenthood for a decade was reduced to a single year in the Senate shortly before its final passage. Despite the changes, the surviving version of the bill will still temporarily cut funding to the abortion giant.
It can be made permanent in another bill. Congress gets to do that, you know.
Planned Parenthood Action Fund recently estimated that the federal defunding of Planned Parenthood could trigger the closure of almost 200 Planned Parenthood abortion facilities in 24 states nationwide.

Pro-life advocates have responded enthusiastically to the bill's passage.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
AAR: Scorecard Israel
[Townhall] Below are data provided by the IDF on Operation Rising Lion through the first round of fighting:

Attacks:
1,500 Air Force sorties and 600 aerial refuelings

1,400 fighter jet strikes and 500 drone strikes

The furthest attack - in Mashhad at a distance of 2,400 km by a fighter jet

Eliminations:
11 senior nuclear scientists

More than 30 senior officials in Iran's security system

Hundreds of soldiers of the Iranian military forces

Nuclear:
3 nuclear sites were attacked: Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow.

Thousands of centrifuges (for uranium enrichment) were destroyed

Nuclear research and development centers were destroyed

Military infrastructure and weapons:
15 enemy aircraft were destroyed

80 surface-to-air launchers (air defense systems) were destroyed

200 missile launchers were destroyed (50% of all Iranian launchers were destroyed)

35 missile production plants were attacked

6 airports were attacked

Intercepts:
86% success in intercepting ballistic missiles (hundreds launched)

99% success in intercepting UAVs (thousands launched)

*SENIOR MOMENT
One needs to recall that the planes involved in the attacks are old. For example:

F-15 introduced in 1976

F-16 introduced in 1978

F-35 introduced in 2015

Tanker KC-35 introduced in 1957

For the Americans:
B-2 introduced in 1993

F-22 introduced in 2005

Israel added repurposed 767s as tankers in addition to C-130s. While the "I" version of F-15s (1998) and F-16s (2004) are newer, the planes are still based on old airframes. It is an incredible tribute to the designers and manufacturers of all of the planes above that they performed so well under difficult circumstances. Kudos must also be given to the ground crews that quickly and successfully turned around planes to get them fueled, loaded with bombs and back on their way. The B-2 waited over 30 years for this mission—the exact one for which it was invented. Drones obviously played a huge role in the attack, with their importance only growing in all major air forces.

#1  I think about 500 surf to surface missiles were launched from Iran. That means about 70 missiles hit. I think that for the previous two missile barrages the intercept rate was closer to 95% including those intercepted by UK and USA devices.

For Israel: $ Billions in damage. About two dozen fatalities. Several hundred with injuries. Economy disrupted.

Pretty bad but it could have been worse.
