Rogue anti-Trump judges obliterated by SCOTUS' landmark ruling



The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling limiting nationwide injunctions has been hailed as a massive win for common sense after 40 such orders — 62% against Donald Trump.

And no one’s happier about it than the president himself.

“It took the court system out of the presidency to a large extent. The courts were almost like being the president, and you can’t have it. It was such a big decision. This is one of the biggest decisions, where you would have a local federal judge who was radical left determining the policy for the whole nation,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News, adding, “And now they can’t do that.”

“There’s been a weird reading of what an injunction is able to do that we’ve been witness to for the first Trump administration and now the beginning of the second where a lawyer can represent all people, not just the plaintiff, not just the aggrieved,” Blaze Media D.C. correspondent Christopher Bedford tells Blaze TV hosts Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News: The Mandate.”


“We had a judge in Hawaii who was deciding what federal immigration policy was,” he continues. “And that is, thankfully, over.”

“Of course, there will be more tactics that are used, but that is a really essential one,” he adds, noting that one of his favorite things about the ruling was Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s baseless dissent.

“Ketanji Brown Jackson — the judge who wrote the dissenting opinion for the Democrats, the one who wore a voodoo necklace to the State of the Union, just an interesting character all around — basically cited legal law that didn’t exist,” Bedford explains.

“[She] tried to say that this is a dictatorship. Just sounded much more like a Democratic activist who hadn’t actually done all of the necessary research or the readings,” he adds.

Trump visits 'Alligator Alcatraz' as liberals melt down



President Donald Trump has just toured the site of a new immigration detention center in South Florida known as “Alligator Alcatraz” for the surrounding dangerous wildlife.

President Trump even joked that "we're going to teach them how to run away from an alligator if they escape prison."

The detention facility — which has liberals across the nation up in arms — is located at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in the Florida Everglades. And as Trump toured the facility, he called it “so professional and so well done.”

Even the Department of Homeland Security is getting in on the jokes, posting a meme of alligators wearing ICE hats.


“Just when you thought the Trump administration couldn’t get any more awesome, they found a way to raise the bar,” BlazeTV host Jill Savage says on “Blaze News: The Mandate.” “And I just have to say, is this what you voted for?”

“This is absolutely what I voted for. I would have voted for this two or three times if I had the chance. I love that people also are getting upset on X about anything that the administration puts out there,” Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson comments.

Peterson and Savage aren’t alone, as Trump supporters are thrilled with the new facility as well.

“And that’s why I posted on X today, ‘Alligator Alcatraz! How would you enhance maximum security prisons? What additions would make the biggest impact?’” Savage says, before reading some seriously funny replies.

Among the replies were “Sharks with lasers attached to their heads” and “Minefield and automated mini-guns on the perimeter.”

“Surround the prison with angry ex-wives. They’ll volunteer to go back inside” was a crowd favorite, and Savage admits it’s “one of the funnier replies I think that we have ever had at this part of the show.”

“Funny, but also terrifying,” Peterson agrees.

LA Dodgers FREAK OUT over fake ICE raid



Last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers faced an opponent that didn’t come bearing bats. According to the team’s official X account, it was Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

The Dodgers claimed the ICE agents were attempting to access Dodger Stadium but were denied entry. However, there’s one major problem with the story — ICE denies that there were any agents there.

“What happened was, it was Customs and Border Protection, specifically Border Patrol, and of course people were saying, ‘Well, how could you tell?’” Blaze Media national correspondent Julio Rosas tells BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News I The Mandate.”


Rosas explains that in the photos and videos of Border Patrol’s arrival at the stadium, they’re clearly wearing vests that say “Border Patrol” and “Police” on them.

“Los Angeles in particular, but the country as a whole,” he says, “they are just hypersensitive and hypervigilant.”

Recently, there was an issue with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, where in order to calm people down, they had to release a statement explaining that their unmarked units were not ICE.

“The problem is that this has been stoked for a very long time, and Democrats and the media have been very irresponsible in their reporting on operations. So when there’s any hint of any sort of a perceived—real or not—immigration enforcement, people right now are primed to just overreact,” Rosas says.

“It just shows how crazy people have become over this when the whole reason why we’re in this mess in the first place, primarily, is that we had an open border for four years, and the administration is trying to get a handle on this very massive problem,” he adds.

The only way Trump can serve justice for the Biden administration's crimes?



Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, has a bolder plan than task forces to tackle political weaponization under the Biden administration.

“I think the answer to the problems, and frankly the political promises that have been made about weaponizing the government have been there the whole time, in terms of historical precedent,” Howell tells BlazeTV hosts Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News: The Mandate.”

“Countries and even the United States, over the course of history, have developed basically truth and reconciliation commissions, or committees, what have you, to deal with some of the biggest historical events and abuses, and I think that’s what we’re looking at when we look at what happened over the Biden administration,” he continues.

And he believes this needs to happen so America doesn’t see a repeat of his first administration.


“We learned this lesson in the first Trump administration. There was a lot of efforts to hold Hillary Clinton accountable, to even produce documents that could help inform what her and Obama did, and the first Trump administration decided not to do that, not to release those things, and to basically let Hillary and Company off,” Howell explains, adding, “I fear that we’re making the same mistake again right now.”

Howell believes that an entity that doesn’t work in the same offices being investigated, as well as one that sits at the top of the entire federal government, should have “the full powers of the government” in order to avoid following in the footsteps of Trump’s last stint as president.

“I’m talking about prosecutorial powers, the power to subpoena, the power to grant immunity, perhaps to recommend pardons, and then also the ability to use government funds to make wrongs right,” he explains.

“And once that exists, outside of, you know, the standard apparatus that we’re used to, I think things start moving along,” he adds.

Meet the man gunning for Paxton’s Texas AG seat to squash Soros DAs



Now that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn (R) in the 2026 U.S. Senate primary, the attorney general’s office might have some big shoes to fill next year.

Given Cornyn’s low approval ratings, there’s a good chance Texas will need a new “top cop,” says BlazeTV host Jill Savage.

Thankfully, there is “someone that has experience fighting alongside Donald Trump at the Justice Department ... someone that Trump has called a true MAGA attorney and warrior for the Constitution” who has risen to the challenge. His name is Aaron Reitz, and he’s Paxton’s former senior Department of Justice official and deputy.

On a recent episode of “Blaze News | The Mandate,” Reitz joined Jill and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson to share what motivated him to take on this challenge and how he plans to ensure Texas stays tough on crime while holding rogue, Soros-backed DAs accountable.

 

“I know that if the president doesn't get a true MAGA attorney or a warrior for the Constitution in that Texas AG spot ... all kinds of dominoes are going to fall, and it's going to be very bad, not only for Texas but really for the nation,” says Reitz. “I can’t accept that scenario.”

“What we need out of a Texas AG is somebody who first and foremost understands the civilizational crisis that we're in. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are in the midst of a war for the soul and the heart of our country,” he continues. “Texas in particular, just out of its sheer size, influence, scope, and power, is really always going to be where the heart of that fight is, and it's why Democrats are always competing to try to take Texas.”

It would be a mistake, says Reitz, if Texas falls into what he calls “red-state complacency” — a phenomenon where red states forget that we are currently in the throes of a “civilizational and frankly even a spiritual cold war for our state and for our nation.” These states mistakenly figure that “tinkering on the margins” will “preserve liberty, preserve justice, and advance law and order.”

But it’s not enough — not since Soros-funded district attorneys began “undermining law and order in Texas.” Texas counties, Reitz explains, “have massive amounts of autonomy and discretion,” meaning “ideological Democrats get governmental capture over their city and their county political apparatuses, and they just start advancing an aggressive left-wing agenda.”

“The Texas AG, though, as a statewide elected official representing the interests of the whole state and robed with immense constitutional powers, plays a critical part in suppressing the extent of the damage that these blue Soros-funded DAs do,” says Reitz, noting that this calculated suppression requires the AG “to get creative with the exercise of the weapons that are in statute.”

One creative legal strategy he plans to employ is called a "quo warranto memo" — a common-law mechanism allowing a state to challenge the authority of a public official or entity, such as a district attorney, if they are repeatedly and flagrantly violating the law.

“I want to seek affirmative measures for the state of Texas — state versus Soros-funded DA — because if that Soros-funded DA is making our streets unsafe, releasing criminals, making families paranoid ... and they are abusing their prosecutorial discretion to the extent that the cities are rotting, I want to be the kind of Texas AG that comes directly for you,” says Reitz. “You've got a state attorney general who is going to come and hold you accountable and ideally get you out of office.”

To hear more of Reitz’s plans to keep Texas tough, watch the episode above.

Trump’s rising poll numbers amid LA unrest revealed



The protests across the nation concerning Trump’s deportations have everyone’s heads on a swivel, but while the leftist-run media tries to paint Trump as an evil dictator, his poll numbers are going up.

Former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows believes Trump is on the right path and that the left has miscalculated his support.

“The men and women who serve in ICE and Border Patrol, they’re having none of it. They’ve got a president who has their back, they have the president’s back, and the American people will see the difference,” Meadows says on “Blaze News I The Mandate.”

“Elections have consequences,” BlazeTV host Jill Savage agrees. “This is what the American people voted for, this was one of the very central issues of the Trump campaign, and now they’re going out and trying to execute the plan that the American people voted for.”


And while the left tries to find allies in immigrants who are here legally, what it's actually finding is that legal immigrants don’t want criminals here either.

“And what’s happening to President Trump’s poll numbers among those who have come here as immigrants is going way up, but not just for those who say, ‘I want to secure the border.’ It’s the people who have come here legally and said, ‘Listen, we need to control the border,’” Meadows says.

“And that’s been the surprising thing, I think, to the left. They’re starting to say, ‘How in the world are his numbers going up?’” he adds.

Blaze Media D.C. correspondent Christopher Bedford notes that this is a typical line of Democrat thinking — that all people who don’t look like their imagined version of a Trump supporter must not think like one either.

“The Democrats have really tried to typecast different groups into one homogeneous thing, whether it’s immigrants and illegal immigrants, that’s all one voting bloc. They don’t realize that illegal immigrants come and they commit crimes in communities where a lot of legal immigrants actually live,” Bedford says.

“Or they assumed that Hispanic workers and immigrants would rise during Black Lives Matter, but those were two distinct groups with distinct missions,” he adds. “Their reads on everyone seem to be incorrect.”

Meet the DOJ’s creepy shadow agency controlling racial tensions and media narratives



We all remember how during the Summer of Rage we were told that the riots literally burning cities to the ground were “mostly peaceful protests.”

Five years later, we’re now learning that phrases like that might have come directly from a secret government agency called the Community Relations Service, which manipulates racial tensions and media narratives under Title 10 of the Civil Rights Act.

To dive down the rabbit hole, Jill Savage and Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson, hosts of “Blaze News | The Mandate,” invite BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre to the show.

 

“Title 10 of the Civil Rights Act required there to be a community relations service, which went around and tried to smooth out problems between the different communities in the United States,” says MacIntyre.

While “in theory that sounds great,” the reality is “what this service actually ended up doing was managing the expectations of different communities when it came to violence, especially when it came to violence between black communities and white communities.”

“Anytime that a white person might receive some level of violence from a minority, these people were deployed to control the story, to control the situation,” says MacIntyre.

This control went to great extents, involving “[putting] lots of pressure on local media,” “[coordinating] with law enforcement,” and “writing prepared statements, in some cases, for the victim's families.”

“It's manipulating everything people know about race relations in the United States from top to bottom,” says MacIntyre.

He references the racially charged brawl between Somali and Congolese immigrants and a group of white men that led to the death of Donald Giusti, a white male, in Lewiston, Maine, in 2018.

The CRS was quickly “deployed to make sure that, again, there was no backlash over this [and] that the victims’ families were kept under control,” he explains.

MacIntyre explains that the CRS responded quickly to this incident in Lewiston, Maine, because they were already present in the city, having been involved in resettling the Somali community. Anticipating tensions and potential violence, they were prepared to manage any backlash against the Somali population when the predicted violence occurred.

“They already had the narrative ready. ... They were there to make sure that there was no backlash against the Somali community,” says MacIntyre, noting that the CRS has been “doing this for decades.”

But the operations of the CRS get even more disturbing.

CRS “continues to train leftist activists to this day; it would threaten to pull the FCC licenses of TV stations that did not hire black newscasters in an affirmative-action style. They worked with different black militant radicals in the '60s, some of whom were students of Saul Alinsky, in order to coordinate different riots,” MacIntyre says.

“The people who ran the organization admitted that the purpose of the organization was explicitly to prevent white America from having any backlash against any minority groups that might do violence against them,” he explains, adding that CRS controls everything “so that there isn't an awareness of the severity of many of these crimes.”

To make matters worse, CRS is permitted to “refuse most FOIA requests” and has “special privileges where they can avoid testimony in front of Congress and in courts.” “Even the notes that they take are destroyed and not entered into the public record.”

The agency has been able to fly “under the radar for so long” likely because it essentially has “an FBI level of confidentiality,” says MacIntyre.

“This is extremely troubling — beyond even the wildest dreams of what many people thought was possible for the federal government,” says Peterson. “What is their real goal?”

To hear MacIntyre’s answer, watch the video above.

$7 billion ‘boondoggle’: California’s trackless railway faces federal funding axe



The state of California has spent a whopping $7 billion on a high-speed railway project that was greenlit in 2008. Today — a decade and a half later — not one single track has been laid. Now the Department of Transportation has put California on notice, threatening to pull the plug on $4 billion in federal funding for the project if the state doesn’t address missed deadlines, budget shortfalls, and unrealistic ridership projections by mid-July.

On Wednesday, Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted the following to X:

— (@)  
 

“How did the state keep this charade up for 15 years?” asks “Blaze News: The Mandate’s” Jill Savage.

 

Blaze Media editor in chief and former California resident Matthew Peterson says this isn’t surprising in the least. “California is exactly like the federal government in terms of the corruption and the wasting of money in broad daylight,” he says. Between the state’s stringent laws on environmental protection, labor, housing, and business operations and wealthy entities with the means to “prevent growth and development at all costs,” “you can’t build anything in California.”

“So the idea … that you could build a high-speed rail given the regulations California already had … was absolutely absurd without fundamentally changing the law,” says Peterson. However, “what everyone also knew is that this [project] would employ a lot of people and pay off a lot of people for a long period of time,” making it a classic “boondoggle.”

“From the beginning, this was destined to fail,” he says, calling Duffy’s ultimatum “music to my ears” after four years of Pete Buttigieg, who knew “basically zero” about transportation.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), however, is digging his heels in, publicly maintaining that California's high-speed rail project is progressing, often highlighting milestones like completed environmental reviews and land acquisition as proof.

Peterson scoffs at Newsom’s remarks. “If you take any message from this,” let it be: “As California goes, so goes the nation.”

“Everyone with any common sense knew this was ridiculous from the beginning; it was all corruption in plain sight … just sitting there daring for anyone to common-sense it to death, and that never happened. It still kept on going forward,” he says. “That is exactly where we're at as a nation, and we're going to need a lot more from Sean Duffy and others to say, ‘To hell with this,’ and put a stop to it.”

The CIA’s greatest failure: Intelligence



At 82 years old, strategic and military adviser Edward Luttwak has watched the CIA continuously fail at what the American people pay them to do. That is, use intelligence to protect the American people.

And he knows why they continue to fail.

“From my point of view, the horrible problem of the Central Intelligence Agency is its failure to collect intelligence about foreign countries,” Luttwak tells BlazeTV hosts Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News | The Mandate.”

“I want to keep it very simple and simply say that everybody involved in the 2003 Iraq War — not the 1990 Kuwait War, the Iraq War — everybody involved now admits that the plan to go to Iraq and set up a democracy in Iraq of all places,” he says, “had to know nothing at all about Iraq.”


“Which meant that the Central Intelligence Agency did not supply — the National Command Authority, namely the White House — did not supply Congress, did not supply all of us with basic information about Iraq. Namely, that there is no worse place in the world, with a possible exception of Antarctica, where you could set up a functioning democracy,” he continues.

“We have gone through two long, enormously difficult wars, expensive wars, because there was no basic intelligence feedback,” he says. “They did actually less research than an average American who likes snorkeling or scuba diving does before choosing a destination where to go scuba diving.”

“So how did we get here?” Peterson asks.

“We got there,” Luttwak says, “simply because they were obsessed with security.”

“What they do is — first of all, they have a whole technical section of people who work out very ingenious ways of collecting information electronically, technically, by some means or scientific means,” he tells Savage and Peterson.

“The agency themselves has in the past shown great ingenuity technologically, but the most important thing for us is human intelligence, because we don’t need the war plans of foreign countries. What we need is situational awareness,” he adds.

Vaccine scam unravels as COVID shot ends for kids



Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has boldly removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC’s schedule for children and pregnant women — but it doesn’t negate the damage that’s already been done.

“This goes way beyond just those categories of human beings, because the scam all along is that the only way you can mandate this or any vaccine is if all major categories of human being are covered by said vaccine,” Todd Erzen, editor of the “Steve Deace Show,” tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News | The Mandate.”

“So, the fact that they are taking this off the schedule for pregnant women and children means this can’t be mandated by law for anybody,” he continues. “You should get angry because we knew all along that kids were threatened less from COVID than they were from the seasonal flu.”


“We had to make the kids take something that we knew was dangerous to them so Big Pharma could make money,” he says. “So, you guys need to view this way beyond health, what happened here.”

Erzen, whose wife and children are not vaccinated at all, has known for a long time that the shots were unnecessary.

“We’ve been kind of a horse of a different color for a long time about this stuff,” Erzen tells Savage and Peterson, noting that his children are high-achieving and healthy, despite what others might want the public to believe. “People in my world never thought this day might come where there would be enough critical mass to push back like this.”

“So, we’re absolutely going to take this win. Hopefully everybody hits the pause button within the MAHA movement and kind of realizes that this was not all for naught. We just needed to give these guys a little time to get appointed and to do the cooking in the kitchen,” he continues.

“But now, it’s going to be on to other big things. This is not a group that’s going to be satisfied — they plan on accomplishing very big things,” he adds.
