Baseball Hall-of-Famer Steve Garvey, now the GOP senatorial candidate from California, visited Israel Defense Force Soldiers wounded in the war in Gaza. Garvey went to Chaim Sheba Medical Center, where he visited with soldiers who had sustained serious injuries, including amputation of limbs, from their efforts at eliminating Hamas. While he was in Tel Aviv, Garvey met with attorney Samara Weiner of Burbank, California, a Democrat who said she would now vote for Garvey. “On behalf of every Democrat who is Jewish, feeling this way, thank you for your support,” Garvey wrote on Facebook. “Where others won’t go, my campaign will,” Garvey said. “Americans need to see and understand what happened to Israel on Oct. 7 and why it’s time for the United States to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish people in Israel and at home.” Steve Garvey for U.S. Senate campaign “On Tuesday – day 2 of my visit to Israel – I visited two sites where the barbaric attacks of October 7th unfolded,” Garvey wrote on Instagram. “I went to the Kibbutz Kfar Aza where over 60 Israelis were killed and 18 taken hostage. We also visited the site of the Nova Music Festival massacre, where over 360 Israeli civilians were killed and 35 taken hostage. It was incredibly moving to see the heartbreaking impact of these heinous attacks and honor the victims.” “Seeing the sites of these tragedies firsthand offers a perspective you can’t get from watching the news,” he added. “Now more than ever, Israel must know that the United States stands with them.” In March, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) brazenly tried to interfere in Israeli domestic politics by undermining Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a time of war, saying, “I also believe Prime Minister Netanyahu has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take the precedence over the best interests of Israel … As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me: The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7. The world has changed — radically — since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past.” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who is running against Garvey for the California Senate Seat, agreed, declaring, “The fact that Israel’s most staunch defender in the U.S. Congress, Chuck Schumer, should be making these remarks should be an earthquake in Israel.”

Country star Zach Bryan invited the now infamous “Hawk Tuah” girl, who went viral for an on-the-street interview she did, onto the stage during a show at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday. The 28-year-old country star surprised the crowd when he invited the internet sensation on stage as he was singing the encore song, “Revival,” per Billboard. Bryan is currently on his Quittin Time Tour. “Hawk Tuah” girl has been identified as Hailey Welch, 23, who became massively popular on social media for giving her thoughts on what men desired during sex. “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang!” she said in a clip that has been circulating online. She made the comments during an interview with the creators of Tim & Dee TV. Welch was wearing a cowboy hat and white boots at Bryan’s show. She carried a drink onto the stage and delivered a “hawk tua!” to the assembled crowd.  Kacey Musgraves also guest-starred during the same show. She and Bryan performed their song, “I Remember Everything,” together.  Hawk Tuah merchandise has become available from Fathead Threads, a family-owned business based in Marshall County, Tennessee, according to Rolling Stone.  “Of course she hasn’t gotten a dime from the first viral video that went out,” brand owner Jason Poteete, who knew Welch prior to her going viral, told the outlet. “Nobody was asking permission for her to do nothing, neither. I just wanted her to get some profit off of this deal.” “There are some crazy people in the world who’ve reached out to her,” he added. “She’s probably one of the most well-known people in the world at this point. But I don’t know if she’s embraced it.” Rolling Stone calculated that based on sales figures provided, about $65,000 worth of merchandise had been sold so far.  “It could be a blessing or a curse,” Poteete told the outlet. “She may be in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time. [But] I think she’ll do fine in the end.” He added, “She has a bubbly personality. She can be somewhat risque. You never know what she’s gonna say. I just think the world needed a laugh, and she provided that.” 

Democrats raged over the Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday that former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for official acts taken as president, but not for unofficial conduct. Justices voted 6-3 along ideological lines in the decision and sent the case in which Trump pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of unlawfully plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election back to a lower D.C. court for further review. “The President is not above the law,” the ruling said. “But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts.” Democrats responded with a range of false and histrionic claims about what the ruling means with some going as far as to claim that President Joe Biden could have Trump assassinated, claim it was an “official act”, and be shielded from prosecution. “Make no mistake, with the guardrails gone, a reelected President Trump would label everything he did—no matter how partisan, extreme, or overtly criminal—’official,’ and based on this ruling, he’d get away with it,” claimed Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI). “With the radical Supreme Court majority firmly behind him, Donald Trump continues marching toward becoming Dictator-in-Chief. The only thing that can stop him is we, the people.” https://twitter.com/maziehirono/status/1807846781905940565?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) posted on X: “Today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity adds to the sordid record of dangerous decisions by this court’s nakedly partisan majority that take a wrecking ball to the pillars of American democracy.” “The fact this awful ruling comes the same week we celebrate Americans joining together 248 years ago to declare independence from monarchy makes today an especially egregious stain on this judicial institution the founders designed to check the concentration of power in 1 person,” he added. Far-left activists took a line from Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent in which she falsely claimed that the president could order “the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival” and he would be “immune” from prosecution and said that it meant that Biden could have Trump assassinated and get away with it. “I strongly encourage Joe Biden to take advantage of his absolute immunity — which he has been lawfully granted by Trump’s Supreme Court Justices — to do whatever ‘official acts’ he needs to do in order to prevent Donald Trump from becoming President,” said one far-left activist. Pro-Biden activist Harry Sisson posted on X: “According to the Supreme Court, Biden could now send in Seal Team 6 to take all of them out. He could send in the military to take out Trump. He has ‘immunity’ for official acts now!” Trump Campaign Manager Chris LaCivita responded to Sisson’s post by saying that he can “expect a visit” from the U.S. Secret Service. Expect a Visit …. https://t.co/QC5XrZ6PGy — Chris LaCivita (@LaCivitaC) July 1, 2024 Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) also responded to Sisson’s post: “Absolutely disgusting that a top Biden surrogate is openly calling for the assassination of President Trump. I hope the Secret Service pays Harry a visit.” Daniel Chaitin contributed to this report. 

The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee sued Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday, requesting that a judge order the audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur be released.  Earlier this year, the Biden administration asserted executive privilege to block release of the audio of the two-day interview in which Hur pressed the president over his handling of classified documents. The lawsuit from the Judiciary Committee says Biden’s assertion of executive privilege is “frivolous” and the audio of the interviews is important for lawmaker’s inquiry into the Justice Department’s handling of the Biden documents investigation.  “The Committee thus needs those recordings to assess the Special Counsel’s characterization of the President, which he and White House lawyers have forcefully disputed, and ultimate recommendation that President Biden should not be prosecuted,” the suit says. Hur recommended no charges for Biden despite the fact he found Biden improperly retained classified documents while out of office, noting his team found that Biden struggled to remember the dates his son died or when he was vice president. A jury would view Biden, who is now 81, as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur’s report concluded. The House Judiciary Committee suit asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to overrule the assertion of executive privilege and make Garland produce the tapes. House lawmakers say the audio will provide important verbal and nonverbal context missing from the transcripts of the interview that have been made available.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “That verbal and nonverbal context is quite important here because the Special Counsel relied on the way that President Biden presented himself during their interview — ’as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory’ — when ultimately recommending that President Biden should not be prosecuted for unlawfully retaining and disclosing classified information,” the suit says. “The audio recordings, not the cold transcripts, are the best available evidence of how President Biden presented himself during the interview,” the suit adds.  House Republicans previously voted to hold Garland in contempt over the tapes, but the DOJ declined to prosecute.

In a bold and unprecedented move, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has called for the impeachment of several Supreme Court justices following their handling of former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity case. AOC's comments come in the wake of the court's deliberations on whether Trump should be immune from prosecution for actions taken while in office, a decision that could set a significant precedent for future presidential conduct. MAJOR BREAKING: AOC says she will launch articles of impeachment against Supreme Court justices for corruption. “The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to… pic.twitter.com/c3zO4HSLeh — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) July 1, 2024 AOC has accused the conservative justices of the Supreme Court of undermining democracy and paving the way for authoritarianism. She argues that their potential ruling in favor of broad presidential immunity is a dangerous precedent that could allow future presidents to commit crimes without fear of prosecution. "If we allow this to stand, we are essentially saying that the president is above the law," AOC stated in a recent interview. Her call for impeachment is grounded in her belief that the justices are failing to uphold their duty to interpret the Constitution in a manner that protects democratic principles. "These justices are not protecting the Constitution; they are enabling its destruction by granting unchecked power to the executive branch," she declared. AOC's stance reflects a deepening rift within American politics regarding the balance of power among the branches of government. AOC Says She'll File Articles Of Impeachment Against Supreme Court https://t.co/LXJ6vJ9lWq — HuffPost Politics (@HuffPostPol) July 1, 2024 From a Republican perspective, AOC's call for impeachment is viewed as an extreme reaction to a legitimate legal debate. Republicans argue that the Supreme Court's role is to interpret the law impartially, and that granting some level of immunity to a president is necessary to ensure the executive branch can function without undue interference. They see AOC's comments as an attempt to politicize the judiciary and undermine its independence. AOC's remarks have sparked significant debate within the Democratic Party as well. While some progressives support her call for impeachment, believing that the conservative majority on the court is overly partisan, others caution against such drastic measures. They warn that pursuing impeachment could further polarize the nation and damage the credibility of the judiciary. The Supreme Court's decision on Trump's immunity is expected to have far-reaching implications. If the court rules in favor of Trump, it could provide future presidents with a shield against prosecution for any actions taken while in office, effectively placing them above the law. This potential outcome has fueled AOC's fervent opposition and her dramatic call for accountability. In conclusion, AOC's call for the impeachment of Supreme Court justices highlights the intense and ongoing battle over the boundaries of presidential power and judicial responsibility. As the nation awaits the court's decision, the political ramifications continue to unfold, with AOC positioning herself at the forefront of the fight to preserve democratic norms and hold the judiciary accountable.

Sarah Ferguson is honoring her “dear friend” Princess Diana on Diana’s would-be 63rd birthday. Sarah, better known as Fergie, remembered her longtime best friend in a social post on July 1st. In it, she shared a candid photo of herself and Diana enjoying the Battle of Britain Anniversary Parade on September 15, 1990. The two are standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony smiling as they appear to watch a flyover. Along with the picture, Sarah penned a sweet message. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sarah Ferguson (Fergie) (@sarahferguson15) “Happy birthday to my dear friend, Diana,” she began. “You were a pillar of light and love. And what a legacy you have left behind. I will forever remember our laughter and the kindred, kind spirit I found in you.” “I am sure you are watching over us always. Rest in peace, my friend,” she concluded. Despite Rumors, Sarah Ferguson And Princess Diana Were “Best Friends” Until Diana’s Tragic Death Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson were childhood friends, according to People. They met when Sarah was 15, and Diana was 14, and they remained close as they grew up and married into the royal family. It was because of her friendship with Diana that Sarah met Prince Andrew and eventually married him in 1986. When she said “I do,” she and Diana became sister-in-laws. Sarah and Andrew eventually divorced in 1996, the same year Diana and King Charles ended their marriage. “I said to her, ‘Oh, Andrew’s really good-looking,’ ” Sarah shared during a 2021 interview with the publication. “And she said, ‘Duh, Fergs!'” Sarah admitted that she and Diana both suffered from “mental health issues,” largely due to their immense fame and responsibilities. So they leaned on each other for mutual support. “She said, ‘Fergie, remember one thing, When you’re at the top of the pedestal, it’s so easy to fall off. And you’re at the bottom. You just climb up,'” Sarah remembered her saying. “We were positioned as saint and sinner. And the most important thing was to remain robust together, and we did, no matter what anyone wrote.” Sarah also dispelled rumors that she and Diana had a falling out following their divorces. Tabloids claimed they were no longer speaking when Diana tragically lost her life in a car crash in 1997. But Sarah said there was absolutely no truth to that. “We promised each other we would always be together — there was never any daylight between us,” she noted. “But everybody wanted that because we were so strong together. People want to break something so strong.” This story’s featured image is by Princess Diana Archive/Getty Images.
