A group of GOP lawmakers are calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice to “halt” any efforts disposing of criminal evidence of five innocent babies. The move comes just a few days after it became clear that the DOJ attempted to hide potential criminal evidence that’s part of an ongoing investigation regarding five baby bodies found at a Washington D.C. abortion clinic. In 2022‚ a group of pro-lifers happened upon the dead bodies of five preemie sized babies along with the remains of over 100 pulverized first-trimester babies. The “D.C. Five‚” as they’ve been called‚ look to have been victims of third trimester abortions or infanticide. Some of them were completely intact while others were ripped apart. On Monday The Daily Signal released a piece indicating that the DOJ knew that these babies were likely killed illegally but urged the D.C. Medical Examiner to dispose of their bodies anyway. While the babies are still part of ongoing investigation‚ it seems to make no sense that the DOJ would encourage this unless they were trying to cover up the fact that these babies were killed illegally which‚ at this point‚ wouldn't be too surprising given the past record of the DOJ siding with abortion. The group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) who found the D.C. Five has been extremely vocal about this injustice and have repeatedly called on our government to do something. On Wednesday they even held a vigil for the babies outside of the D.C. Medical Examiner's office. Also on Wednesday‚ a group of 45 representatives signed a letter calling on the DOJ to “halt” any efforts to destroy those five babies bodies.  Spearheaded by Representative Pat Fallon (R-Texas)‚ the letter indicates that it looks like Partial-Birth Abortion Ban and the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act were “both possibly violated‚ and that at least one child was likely a victim of a partial-birth abortion.”  The letter went on to say that even after two years‚ autopsies still haven't been performed and proper investigation hasn’t been done. “An investigation must be conducted on what happened in the Washington Surgi-Clinic to these children to determine if a crime was committed‚” the letter indicated.  Here’s how the letter concluded: We demand that you immediately halt plans to dispose of these children‚ as they may well be evidence of a crime‚” the lawmakers wrote in a Wednesday letter first obtained by The Daily Signal. “We further demand you stop stonewalling and finally conduct a thorough investigation into the deaths of these children to determine what truly happened‚ and to hold any lawbreakers or murderers accountable. At the end of this investigation‚ we encourage a respectful burial of the babies. Signees included representatives like Gary Palmer (R-Ala.)‚ Ronny Jackson (R-Texas)‚ and Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).  In an exclusive conversation with The Daily Signal‚ Martin Cannon‚ who is representing the pro-life activists charged by the DOJ‚ indicated that if nothing is done soon to stop the DOJ from destroying this evidence‚ “they will dispose of the babies” very soon‚ possibly by the end of this week. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ) said it best when he told The Washingon Examiner that “When they were alive‚ these babies deserved to be treated with respect and compassion. Now‚ after their violent slaughter‚ justice must be tenaciously pursued with a thorough investigation into the details surrounding their brutal deaths — no cover ups!” Ted Cruz echoed Smith’s words when he said: Destroying evidence is a grave threat to the rule of law‚ and it is another tragic chapter in the Biden DOJ’s sad history of having two justice systems. The Medical Examiner should reject the DOJ’s lawless order to destroy evidence and instead conduct a proper investigation into whether these late-term abortions violated the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act‚ or‚ at minimum‚ allow for an autopsy by an outside group.  It is heartbreaking to think about what these babies likely went through and it’s disturbing to realize that our very own Department of Justice seems to care more about covering up their brutal deaths to keep an abortion clinic in business rather than providing actual justice for these babies.

Colorado's Supreme Court‚ which comprises seven Democrat-appointed justices‚ decided to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's ballots in December at a Democrat-aligned group's urging. The reason given: Section 3 of the 14th Amendment concerning insurrection supposedly covers the presidency and Trump's actions qualified. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear the Republican front-runner's appeal on Thursday morning. The high court's ruling will likely impact the efforts by other blue states to deprive voters of a choice in the 2024 election. It will likely also serve to further politicize the court ahead of another contentious election. Trump's defense so far Trump's legal team has so far argued that: "Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits individuals only from holding office[.] ... It does not prevent anyone from running for office‚ or from being elected to office‚ because Congress can remove a section 3 disqualification at any time"; The Colorado Supreme Court violated the Electors Clause by "flouting the statutes governing presidential elections"; Trump did not engage in insurrection‚ especially not "'insurrection' as understood at the time of passage of the Fourteenth Amendment [which] meant the taking up of arms and waging war upon the United States." Rather he engaged in political rhetoric‚ not unlike that routinely employed by Democratic lawmakers on the Hill; Section 3 is inapplicable to the president. "To find that section 3 includes the presidency‚ one must conclude that the drafters decided to bury the most visible and prominent national office in a catch-all term that includes low ranking military officers‚ while choosing to explicitly reference presidential electors"; and Congress is the proper body to "resolve questions concerning a presidential candidate's eligibility‚" not a partisan state court. Who's looking to eliminate voter choice in Colorado? Blaze News previously reported that Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington brought the case against Trump on behalf of six Colorado voters. Among the six voters named in the suit are Norma Anderson‚ Michelle Priola‚ Claudine (Cmarada) Schneider‚ and Krista Kafer. Priola is the wife of Democratic state Sen. Kevin Priola. Kafer is a Never-Trumper Denver Post opinion writer. Schneider is a registered Republican and former congresswoman for Rhode Island who reportedly endorsed Barack Obama in 2008‚ Hillary Clinton in 2016‚ and Joe Biden in 2020. CREW is a partisan activist group that touts itself as a government watchdog‚ which was optimized as an attack dog for the Democratic Party by Media Matters founder David Brock in advance of the 2016 election. The move to eliminate the Republican front-runner from contention in Colorado was executed under CREW's current president Noah Bookbinder. Bookbinder was until recently a member of the Biden Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Security Advisory Council. Federal Election Commission records indicate he repeatedly dumped money into Democratic causes‚ including former President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. Through the courts In September 2023‚ the six voters with CREW's backing filed a complaint requesting Trump's removal from the primary ballot. Their complaint suggested it would be "improper" and a "breach or neglect of duty" for Colorado's Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold to allow Biden's top rival to make it onto the 2024 ballot. This complaint made its way to the district court. Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace ruled against the effort to ban Trump from the ballot‚ noting Section 3 did not apply to the president. Wallace did‚ however‚ agree with the petitioners' assertion that Trump had engaged in insurrection. Dissatisfied with the result‚ the petitioners successfully appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court‚ which ultimately ruled in a 4-3 decision that Trump engaged in an insurrection on Jan. 6‚ is ineligible to be president‚ and cannot therefore appear on the ballot. The court stayed its decision until the U.S. Supreme Court could weigh in. A spokesman for the Trump campaign‚ Stephen Cheung‚ noted that the Democratic appointees "issued a completely flawed decision." "We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these unAmerican lawsuits‚" added Cheung. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and fast-tracked it‚ ostensibly to deliver a decision before the Colorado and Maine primaries in March. A recent Democratic poll shows Biden's popularity dropping off in Colorado ahead of the election. 58% of registered voters hold an unfavorable opinion of the geriatric president. Axios noted that even in the solidly blue state‚ Biden's lead over Trump has dropped to single digits in a hypothetical general election contest. Trump continues to lead Biden nationally in the polls. The latest Morning Consult poll had the Republican up by five points. Possible impact The Associated Press indicated that a definitive ruling from the Supreme Court affirming that Trump engaged in an insurrection might start a chain reaction whereby various other states could keep the Republican front-runner off their ballots. Already similar efforts to spare the 81-year-old Democratic president from serious competition in the forthcoming elections have been undertaken in Maine‚ California‚ and Michigan. Maeva Marcus‚ the director of the Institute for Constitutional Studies at George Washington University‚ told the BBC‚ the "rationale" behind the Colorado ruling would "hold for the general election." While such an outcome would be advantageous for the incumbent president‚ longtime Democrat David Axelrod has expressed concern. Blaze News reported last month that the Obama campaigner said‚ "I do think it would rip the country apart if he were actually prevented from running because tens of millions of people want to vote for him." Axelrod added‚ "You know‚ he's only gained since he started getting indicted. What you thought might be kryptonite for him has been battery packs. This is a big one for him." In addition to disenfranching voters‚ the decision may also impact the court. Raoul Berger Professor of Law Emeritus Stephen Presser noted in January that "when the Supreme Court inevitably corrects Colorado and Maine’s misguided decisions — as it must — Trump’s critics will attack it as arbitrary and undemocratic. One can’t help but speculate that the Colorado and Maine decisions might be calculated to undermine the authority of the Supreme Court itself." Like Blaze News?

Beloved talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw recently visited the U.S.-Mexico border and revealed that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents gave him their estimates of how many illegal border crossings have actually occurred‚ along with solutions on how to solve the issue.Upon the conclusion of his trip‚ McGraw told Fox News' Sean Hannity that the Biden administration's border policies have been encouraging bad behavior."One of the most fundamental psychological principles is you don’t reward bad behavior‚" McGraw‚ a psychologist‚ said.The doctor explained that he wanted to speak to border agents who were spearheading the defense of the border and find out what the real issues were in handling such an influx of illegal immigrants."These guys are fighting a morale battle‚ because they can’t get what they need‚" he reported. "And I wanted to know what’s happening down here? What’s really going on? We hear this number‚ 6 million people have come across under the current administration."But McGraw noted that the illegal encounters at the border were actually much higher than what is officially reported‚ according to his sources."I talked to experts down there that say that number is a myth‚ that it’s closer to 13 million to 14 million that have come across."On a mission to find solutions‚ the famous host revealed that border agents didn't say they needed more funding‚ resources‚ or even more Border Patrol agents. Rather‚ they simply expressed that current U.S. federal law needs to be applied and enforced."We don’t need more legislation. We just need the laws that are on the books to be followed. We need to be allowed to do our job and we can get this under control right now‚" McGraw relayed. "I wanted to know what's happening down here‚ what's really going on." @seanhannity @MeritStMedia @FoxNews #BorderCrisis #Immigration #DrPhil — (@) Dr. Phil also described the different reactions evoked by particular law enforcement agencies: Texas state officials arrest and deport illegal border-crossers‚ while federal agents perform a catch-and-release method."The interesting thing that shocked me‚ Sean‚ if [illegal aliens] run into someone in a brown uniform‚ that’s a Texas Department of Public Safety border guard‚ they get arrested‚ they get put in jail‚ and they get returned‚" McGraw said‚ according to Daily Fetched. "If they run into a green uniform‚ that is a federal‚ they get money and a court date that’s seven to 10 years down the road‚ and they get released into the country."McGraw added that if the illegal immigrants see a brown uniform‚ "they hide." If they see a green uniform‚ "they run toward it." We\u2019re seeing smashing records for illegal immigration by wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open the Texas border security infrastructure.#WeveGotIssues @MeritStMedia #DrPhil — (@) Days earlier‚ McGraw was pictured at the border wall in Eagle Pass‚ Texas‚ and was heard describing the sheer mass of illegal immigrants who have crossed the border under President Biden's administration."More than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed the Texas southern border in just three years. That's more than the population of 33 different states in this country‚" McGraw said. The doctor also placed blame at the feet at the vice president for failing to adequately address the problem."And what about our vice president‚ Kamala Harris? ... Did you know she's our country's immigration czar? Guess how many times she's been to the border? Once‚" McGraw explained. Dr. Phil is in Eagle Pass delivering a message about the influx of illegal migrants crossing into the USA.\n\nhttps://t.co/gYX9M3utTm — (@) Like Blaze News?

More than 30‚000 migrants with possible ties to terrorism or other “nefarious activity” were released into the United States in the last 15 months‚ according to data obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.Customs and Border Protection data reviewed by the news outlet revealed that Border Patrol agents logged 20‚287 encounters with special interest aliens in fiscal year 2023 and another 12‚114 so far in fiscal year 2024. The Department of Homeland Security’s Lexicon Terms and Definitions described SIAs as a “foreign national originating from a country (determined by individual Components) identified as having possible or established links to terrorism.”A 2019 archived webpage from the DHS website explains that migrants could be labeled SIAs “based on an analysis of travel patterns” that are “known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism.”“This does not mean that all SIAs are ‘terrorists‚’ but rather that the travel and behavior of such individuals indicates a possible nexus to nefarious activity (including terrorism) and‚ at a minimum‚ provides indicators that necessitate heightened screening and further investigation‚” the DHS stated.According to the agency‚ “SIAs are not simply people who ‘traveled from a country that had terrorism’” but those “who have obtained false documents‚ or used smugglers to evade security across multiple countries.” Additionally‚ some SIAs “have engaged in criminal activity that could pose a danger to the United States‚ and some are found to have links to terrorism after additional investigative work and analysis by CBP personnel.”The over 30‚000 SIAs allowed into the interior of the United States in the last 15 months were given future court dates‚ the internal CBP data obtained by the DCNF revealed. The data also found that SIA encounters at the southern border increased 600% from fiscal year 2021 to 2022.The DCNF reported that the majority of the SIAs encountered in fiscal year 2023 were from Turkey‚ Russia‚ Afghanistan‚ and Somalia‚ the data showed. So far‚ the top nationalities of SIAs encountered in fiscal year 2024 include Turkey‚ Afghanistan‚ Bangladesh‚ and Russia.In fiscal year 2023‚ 169 individuals on the FBI terror watch list attempted to cross the southern border‚ according to CBP reporting.A DHS official called the increase in SIA encounters surprising. “It worries me‚ depresses me‚ infuriates me‚ frustrates me‚” the official told the DCNF.The DHS did not respond to a request for comment‚ the DCNF reported.Like Blaze News?

Sen. Josh Hawley was mobbed this week by members of the leftist group Code Pink — so-called feminists evidently rankled by the Missouri Republican's ongoing support for Israel. Hawley responded with an unflinching condemnation of terrorism that not only drove the radicals raving mad but prompted them to show their cards. The incident unfolded Wednesday afternoon in the Senate Hart building — the same building where Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin's former staffer filmed himself engaging in sodomy without legal consequence. A rabble of Code Pink leftists protesting Israel's war on Islamic terrorism were camped out in the hall‚ yelling at various lawmakers as they made their way over to vote on potential aid for Israel‚ Ukraine‚ and Taiwan. When came Hawley's turn down the hall‚ a woman wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh snapped her fingers in Hawley's face‚ saying‚ "Don't give us your talking points." In one video of the incident‚ another protester can be seen attempting to lower the snapping hand of the woman in the keffiyeh. However‚ she proceeds to wag a finger at Hawley‚ saying‚ "You are unbelievable." Hawley responds‚ "The state of Israel has a right to defend itself." One Code Pink protester‚ ostensibly the group's co-founder Medea Benjamin‚ chimes in‚ "So does Palestine!" The woman in the Palestinian scarf counters that Israel's self-defense is "not defense." "And I won't call for a ceasefire until Hamas is eliminated‚" continues Hawley. The senator's invocation of the terrorist group prickles the woman in the keffiyeh‚ who leans over with widened eyes to say‚ "Hamas will never be eliminated." "Eliminated!" Hawley adds. As the protester feverishly yells out after Hawley‚ calling him "foolish‚" Hawley sets her straight: "You're an anti-Semite. ... If you guys had your way‚ there'd be a second Holocaust. That's what you want. Pro-terrorist." — (@) In another video of the exchange‚ Hawley can be heard saying to the Code Pink protesters‚ "I wish I had an Israel flag to wave." Code Pink has long campaigned against Israel and supported so-called Palestinian liberation. The so-called feminist group appears keen to overlook the barbaric treatment of women‚ girls‚ and non-straights in Gaza and the West Bank‚ just as it has glossed over the crimes committed against humanity by the communist regime in Beijing — which Code Pink stresses "is not our enemy." Code Pink has made explicit its support for Palestinian violence against Israel and refers to the Oct. 7 terror attacks‚ which left thousands of Israelis and dozens of Americans dead and thousands more wounded‚ as "resistance." The group states on its website that the Hamas terror attacks "must be understood in the context of resistance to a 75-year Israeli occupation‚ in which a Jewish state was violently established on stolen Palestinian land." According to Code Pink‚ "Israel cannot 'defend' itself. "Israel's use of violence only enforces an oppressive occupation. Conversely‚ Palestinians resisting their oppression act defensively‚ as they have been victims of offensive attacks by Israel since its illegitimate inception in 1948‚" says the group's website. In recent weeks‚ Code Pink has called on the Biden administration to restore funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees despite clear indications that 12 UNWRA employees participated in the October attacks. Hawley is apparently not the only senator the pro-terrorism group heckled this week. They also mobbed Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.)‚ Ted Cruz (R-Texas)‚ John Fetterman (D-Pa.)‚ John Kennedy (R-La.)‚ and others. Cruz and Rubio responded especially forcefully. Cruz said‚ "So why are you not troubled with Hamas terrorists? ... Killing Hamas makes Israel safe." When the Code Pink protesters pressed Rubio on the deaths of children in Gaza‚ the Florida senator replied‚ "Hamas is responsible for killing all those children. ... Hamas kills children. Hamas is an evil organization. I hope Israel destroys Hamas. That's what I hope and I wanna help Israel destroy Hamas." — (@) Like Blaze News?
