Published June 21, 2024, 8:50 p.m. ETFormer President Donald Trump leads President Biden by 10 points nationally in the 2024 White House race, according to a new poll.

The Rasmussen Reports survey, released Friday, found 46% of likely voters backing the 78-year-old presumptive Republican nominee for president and 36% supporting the 81-year-old incumbent in a five-way race.

Among the third-party White House hopefuls, independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West received 9% and 2% support, respectively, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein garnered 1% support.

Trump is also up on Biden in the head-to-head matchup, netting 49% support to the president’s 40% backing. Seven percent of voters said they’d vote for some other candidate and 4% responded that they were undecided,  the poll found.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed an amicus brief with Stone Hilton PLLC Lawson Huck Gonzalez, PLLC in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in United States v. Donald J. Trump, et al., to defend President Donald J. Trump’s constitutionally protected right to free speech and prevent Special Counsel Jack Smith from obtaining an unlawful gag order.

In the brief, AFL argues the following:

Like other prior restraints, gag orders are incompatible with the First Amendment and have long been disfavored by courts.

Since the Founding of the American republic, freedom of speech has been the bedrock of the American identity and is essential to the functioning of a free society. President Trump, as a current presidential candidate, has a unique role in informing the public and contributing to public debate. Preventing him from speaking freely stifles the entire American political system.

Restricting a presidential candidate’s freedom to speak on political matters is a particularly grave intrusion on the Framers’ design.

The Founding Fathers were particularly concerned about preserving the democratic function of society by ensuring that matters of politics and government would be the subject of popular debate. Candidates for national office must be allowed to engage in the purest form of expression. Any restrictions on their speech are an infringement on the American electoral system at large.

The government cannot overcome constitutional restrictions on prior restraints, let alone impose conditions to infringe President Trump’s First Amendment rights on asserted safety or prejudice grounds.

The government has not made the necessary showings concerning safety to satisfy the statutory conditions necessary to impose conditions of release. President Trump has not engaged in speech that incites violence.

America First Legal’s brief highlights the inherent problem with gagging political speech on controversial topics to “maintain order.” The Court should reject Special Counsel Jack Smith’s politically-motivated and unlawful gag order.

Statement from Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director:

“Jack Smith and the Biden Department of Justice are engaged in an unprecedented attack on essential freedoms in the United States. Their desire to engage in court-sanctioned censorship of Donald Trump is dangerous and inconsistent with the history of the First Amendment–and sadly consistent with the Biden Administration’s broader campaign of destruction of the right to speak freely in the United States. There is no evidence that President Trump has sought to hamper the impartiality of the jury or incite violence. He is a political candidate whose rights to speak and protest are especially acute given his belief he is the target of a politicized prosecution.“ said Gene Hamilton.

Black leaders are silent on the influx of mostly Latinos crashing our southern border. You don’t see many coming from Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Ethiopia and Egypt. Is it that the citizens in Africa are better off?  We think that the Southern Border is open to those Hispanics because they can easily fit in with the locals. You can’t tell the difference between an illegal and a legal. 

What we see here is an effort by criminal Biden administration to allow these criminals in “En-masse” with the intent of them becoming Democrat voters down the line. And if that is not worse, Biden is going to be issuing them Green Cards, allowing them to work.

So what does all this mean to the Blacks? First of all monies that could to to reparations are now being spent on Hispanics; they are collecting welfare, medical benefits, bilingual educations, free housing, and more. How can the Black Leadership stand by and digest these policies without speaking up? We cannot understand their silence. VOTE TRUMP HE IS YOUR FRIEND.

Biden announces new executive action protecting some undocumented immigrant spouses and children of US citizens

WashingtonCNN —

The Biden administration on Tuesday announced an executive action allowing certain undocumented spouses and children of US citizens to apply for lawful permanent residency without leaving the country – a sweeping election-year move that could offer deportation protections to hundreds of thousands of people.

The action will provide legal status and protections for about 500,000 American families and roughly 50,000 noncitizen children of immigrants under the age of 21 whose parent is married to a US citizen, a senior administration official said. It amounts to one of the federal government’s biggest relief programs for undocumented immigrants since the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was announced by then-President Barack Obama in 2012.

The action is aimed at appealing to key Latino constituencies in battleground states, including Arizona, Nevada and Georgia, that will be crucial for Biden’s chances to claim a second term. The move is an olive branch to immigration advocates and progressives, many of whom have sharply criticized Biden for previous restrictive actions, including taking steps this month to limit asylum processing at the US southern border.

President Biden speeds up green card process for spouses, children of US citizens

Leer en español

President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday an executive order that would allow more than half a million spouses and children of U.S. citizens who have been living in the United States without authorization for more than a decade to apply for permanent residency without having to leave the country.

The executive action uses existing authorities to speed up the process for undocumented spouses, and their children, who already qualify to adjust their status and get a green card through their marriage with a U.S. citizen, rather than to create a new program that would almost certainly be challenged in court.

The most notable change is that the spouses and children of U.S. citizens already living in the country will receive a three-year parole-in-place status that would allow them to work during that period. It also encourages them to apply for U.S. permanent residency without having to leave the United States for an undetermined amount of time while their application is processed from a U.S. embassy or consulate in their country of origin, as is currently the case.

Trump classified docs judge to weigh alleged ‘unlawful’ appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith

Judge Aileen Cannon holds hearing Friday on motion to dismiss Trump case

The judge presiding over former President Trump’s classified records case is holding a hearing Friday to consider whether the appointment of U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith and the funding of his investigations is “unlawful.”

Judge Aileen Cannon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida had postponed the trial stemming from Smith’s investigation into Trump’s alleged improper retention of classified records indefinitely.

Upon postponing the trial, Cannon scheduled deadlines for reports on June 10 and 17 and a nonevidentiary hearing on a motion to dismiss on Friday, “based on unlawful appointment and funding of special counsel.”

The race is razor thin at this time, most likely a recount, but McGuire is a two hundred votes ahead of the Republican endorsed candidate.

Former President Donald Trump‘s influence on the election in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District may not have been as significant as he would have liked, as the Republican primary race is still too close to call.

With 98 percent of the ballots counted, the Associated Press reported, state Senator John McGuire, whom Trump has endorsed, led incumbent Representative Bob Good by just 327 votes (50.3 percent to 49.7 percent). The remaining votes are not expected to be counted on Wednesday as Virginia observes the Juneteenth federal holiday.
