Trump says he won't advocate birth control restrictions



Former President Donald Trump unequivocally declared in a social media post that he will not advocate birth control restrictions.

"I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER ADVOCATE IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON BIRTH CONTROL, or other contraceptives. This is a Democrat fabricated lie, MISINFORMATION/DISINFORMATION, because they have nothing else to run on except FAILURE, POVERTY, AND DEATH. I DO NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL, AND NEITHER WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

'The Senate has begun to consider the Right to Contraception Act.'

The 2024 presumptive Republican presidential nominee issued the statement after he had been asked by KDKA-TV's Jon Delano whether he backs "any restrictions on a person's right to contraception."

Trump said, "We're looking at that," and noted that he would soon be releasing a policy on the issue.

"The Senate has begun to consider the Right to Contraception Act," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer noted in a post on X. "@SenateDems will fight to protect access to contraception and other reproductive freedoms essential for millions of women to control their own lives and bodies."

Even though Trump is slated to become the GOP presidential nominee later this year, some Republican presidential primary voters have apparently been registering dissatisfaction. For example, in the Kentucky Republican presidential primary, more than 6% voted for former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who dropped out earlier this year while more than 3% voted uncommitted.

Haley has said that she will vote for Trump.

'This is what an invasion looks like': Video shows Mexican train reportedly 'bursting' with migrants heading to US southern border



A Mexican train is transporting dozens of migrants to the U.S. southern border, according to a new report.

Fox News national correspondent Griff Jenkins posted an alarming video of the migrant train on the X social media platform on Sunday afternoon.

Griff captioned the video: "FOX News sources capture a FerroMex train bursting with migrants out of Zacatecas heading to our southern border right now… cheering and clearly not heeding the message: 'do not come."

Zacatecas is a Mexican state located in north-central Mexico.

The FerroMex website states: "We operate the largest railroad network in Mexico, with more than 6,200 miles of track covering the major industrial and commercial zones in the country, connecting with the rest of the world through 8 seaports and 6 border crossings."

Griff was quoting Vice President Harris from June 2021.

During a press conference in Guatemala with the Central America country's president, Harris told migrants, "I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border. Do not come. Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border."

President Joe Biden tapped Kamala as the country's border czar in March 2021. Harris has only visited the U.S. southern border once since being tasked with handling the illegal immigration crisis.

The video of the migrant train went viral online, racking up half a million views in less than two hours. The footage caught the attention of concerned Republicans and conservatives.

Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona declared, "This is what an invasion looks like. Nothing about this is regular or lawful."

Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) demanded, "This must be stopped immediately. The @SenateDems must take up @GOPHouseOfRep passed H.R. 2, impeach @SecMayorkas for allowing our country to be invaded and American lives lost, and stop ALL funding to these nations who allow our borders to be overrun. Call your Senators and tell them to pass H.R. 2 Secure The Border Act."

NewsNation national correspondent Jorge Ventura reacted by saying, "The Biden administration can keep putting out the messaging that the ‘border is closed,' it’s clear migrants coming to the U.S. border don’t believe it."

Podcast host Monica Crowley tweeted, "INVASION."

Also on Sunday, Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin shared a video of "numerous illegal immigrants dressed in camouflage using ropes to scale the border wall, then run off into the desert without apprehension in Naco, AZ."

Melgin noted that there have been more than 1.5 million "gotaways" since Joe Biden became president.

The New York Post reported in May, "More than 1.5 million illegal migrants have slipped into the U.S. since Joe Biden took office — more than three times the number recorded during the last three years of Trump’s presidency, Department of Homeland Security data shows."

Radio host exposes Democratic senator's hysterical rhetoric on climate change: 'Voters are not stupid'



Climate change alarmists raised an alert Sunday after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced he would not support President Joe Biden’s “Built Back Better” plan. The bill contained more than a half-trillion dollars of climate change spending.

However, radio host Hugh Hewitt pointed out the alarm is not as serious — or as sincere — as Democrats claim.

What was claimed?

People concerned about the alleged impacts of climate change said, for example, that Manchin's decision to not support the Build Back Better Act, essentially killing the bill, is "devastating for the planet."

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) was one such person raising alarm over the climate aspect of Build Back Better's sudden death. In fact, he called it a "climate disaster."

"Losing Build Back Better would be a climate disaster. We must power everything with renewable energy. I won’t stop fighting for this vision," Merkley said.

That we still don\u2019t have 50 votes tells you how far we\u2019ve fallen. Losing Build Back Better would be a climate disaster. We must power everything with renewable energy. I won\u2019t stop fighting for this vision.
— Senator Jeff Merkley (@Senator Jeff Merkley) 1639937797

The Biden administration billed its "Built Back Better" climate provisions as the "largest effort to combat climate change in American history."

Specifically, the plan sought to:

  • Significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions — 50%-52% lower than 2005 levels — by 2030
  • Offer "substantial consumer rebates" for families who transition to renewable energy
  • Ensure that "clean energy technology ... will be built in the United States"
  • Invest in "coastal restoration, forest management, and soil conservation"

Of course, the plan also sought to advance "environmental justice."

How did Hewitt say?

The conservative radio host exposed how rhetoric from climate change hawks like Merkley is more hyperbole than substance.

According to Hewitt, if climate change presented such a grave threat to humanity and the giant space rock called "Earth" that scientists estimate has been floating in perfect gravitational distance from the sun for billions of years, then Democrats would have advocated for legislation that only addressed climate change — not a bill promoting a partisan social agenda.

"If this was true Senate Ds would have stripped everything out of #BBB except climate-related measures and added in a huge subsidy for nuclear power plants and research," Hewitt pointed out.

"Voters are not stupid Senator," he added. "They don’t agree w/ you, and the actions of the @SenateDems belie your urgency."

If this was true Senate Ds would have stripped everything out of #BBB except climate-related measures and added in a huge subsidy for nuclear power plants and research. Voters are not stupid Senator. They don\u2019t agree w/ you, and the actions of the @SenateDems belie your urgency.https://twitter.com/senjeffmerkley/status/1472631974632243213\u00a0\u2026

As the Wall Street Journal explained, the Biden administration still has several avenues through which it can enact its agenda on climate change, such as through a separate bill, executive action, regulatory measures, and state-led campaigns.

One wonders, however, why Democrats did not lead with a climate-change-only bill if, as Merkley proposed, climate disaster is on the horizon because one country did not enact partisan legislation.
