The Film 2000 Mules Offers Vivid Proof of Voter Fraud FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP "Highly respected Dinesh D'Souza, working together with Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote, just released a trailer to their new movie, "2,000 Mules," that shows the world exactly how the 2020 Presidential Election was Rigged and Stolen. The movie exposes the lies of the Democrats, RINOs, and Fake News who say it was the "most secure election in history." It was, perhaps, the least secure in history. The ballot box was stuffed , and stuffed like never before—and it's all on video. Ballots were trafficked and sold in a massive operation in each Swing State. The evidence is so damning, what will the cowards who sat and did nothing about the stolen election say now? The way our votes were taken away is a disgrace to our Nation. It must be fixed."

The decision is regarded as a victory for religious freedom. In the case, the high court held that the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect an individual engaging in a personal religious observance from government reprisal. The court found that the U.S. Constitution neither requires nor allows governments to suppress such religious expression. Coach Joseph “Joe” Kennedy, who no longer works for the taxpayer-funded Bremerton School District in Washington state, claimed his rights were violated when the district forbade him from praying in view of the public after games. The school district argued that when Kennedy prayed midfield after games, he was viewed by onlookers as a coach who was serving as a mentor and role model. In this theory of the case, Kennedy was acting as a government employee at that moment, which would mean that he was engaging in speech that constituted government speech that isn’t protected by the First Amendment. But the majority of Supreme Court justices disagreed with the school district in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (court file 21-418), an appeal from the frequently overturned U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion (pdf) for the court. All six conservative justices, including Gorsuch, ruled in favor of Kennedy; all three liberal justices ruled against him. Oral argument was heard April 25. Gorsuch noted that Kennedy lost his job as a high school football coach in the Bremerton School District “because he knelt at midfield after games to offer a quiet prayer of thanks” during a period “when school employees were free to speak with a friend, call for a reservation at a restaurant, check email, or attend to other personal matters.” In other words, Kennedy offered “his prayers quietly while his students were otherwise occupied.” The school district disciplined him because it believed anything less might lead a reasonable observer to mistakenly conclude that it endorsed Kennedy’s religious beliefs, Gorsuch wrote. The district was wrong to do so, the justice added. “The Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect expressions like Mr. Kennedy’s. Nor does a proper understanding of the Amendment’s Establishment Clause require the government to single out private religious speech for special disfavor. “The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike,” Gorsuch wrote. Justice Sonia Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. The dissent characterizes Kennedy as a wrongdoer. “This case is about whether a public school must permit a school official to kneel, bow his head, and say a prayer at the center of a school event,” Sotomayor wrote. “The Constitution does not authorize, let alone require, public schools to embrace this conduct.” The Supreme Court is wrong to ignore “the severe disruption to school events caused by Kennedy’s conduct, viewing it as irrelevant because the Bremerton School District … stated that it was suspending Kennedy to avoid it being viewed as endorsing religion.” Kennedy was responsible for “repeated disruptions of school programming and violations of school policy regarding public access to the field as grounds for suspending him.” “This decision does a disservice to schools and the young citizens they serve, as well as to our nation’s longstanding commitment to the separation of church and state.” The Supreme Court issued three opinions in total in already argued cases on June 27. The court is trying to dispose of a backlog of cases before it leaves for summer recess. With the release of the three opinions, four remain to be released in the court’s current term. When it wraps up, Justice Breyer is expected to formally leave the court and be replaced by Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden’s nominee who was narrowly confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 7. On June 27, the court announced it will next issue opinions on June 29. This is a developing story. This article will be updated.

"It is sad that in the same week the Supreme Court released a 6-3 decision upholding the right to bear arms, the Senate and House both passed a bill to restrict that right without due process." Protecting our kids (Heritage Action for America) Protecting and defending our children must be a top priority. No one can argue against that. And that’s exactly why the Second Amendment exists. Simply put, everyone has a natural right to defend one’s own life and the lives of their family. Restricting and banning firearms is a deprivation of that natural—and Constitutional—right. But to fully understand why the “red flag law” provision of the Senate’s restrictive gun bill is so unjust, one must read further than the Second Amendment. The Fifth Amendment to our Constitution reads “No person shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” In every case where a state has instituted a red flag law, due process has not been upheld. Often, individuals are even denied the right to a lawyer and the ability to present arguments in their own defense. Constitutional rights must not be so carelessly infringed. It is sad that in the same week the Supreme Court released a 6-3 decision upholding the right to bear arms, the Senate and House both passed a bill to restrict that right without due process. Read more about why we opposed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (S. 2938). We have included this vote on our legislative scorecard. As always, thank you for your trust, support, and activism.

Title IX and redefining "sex" The Biden administration is pushing a new rule that radically alters the content of Title IX. This new rule would redefine “sex” to include “sex stereotypes, sex-related characteristics (including intersex traits), pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity”. This will be devastating to women. Here’s some of what it will do: Negatively impact educational and career opportunities for women Contradict state laws in thirteen states that protect students and prevent male athletes from competing in women’s sports Harm childhood development by redefining sex and gender Deprive women of privacy and safety Women are a driving force of the power, economy, family, success, and future of our nation. Stunting their opportunities, threatening their safety, and preventing their path to success in the name of “fairness” or “equality” will be devastating for generations to come. >>> See our activist toolkit <<<

From: NC State Board of Elections Date: June 16, 2022 at 4:58:01 PM EDT To: dhw0409@gmail.com Subject: [State Board of Elections] Advocacy Groups Sending Voter Registration Mailings to 450,000 NC Households Reply-To: ncsbe.comms@ncsbe.gov FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, June 16, 2022Patrick Gannon, Public Information Director Email Advocacy Groups Sending Voter Registration Mailings to 450,000 NC HouseholdsRALEIGH, N.C. – Two voter advocacy organizations have begun sending mailings to nearly 450,000 North Carolinians to encourage them to register to vote. The mailings from the Voter Participation Center (VPC) and the Center for Voter Information (CVI) include North Carolina voter registration applications, as well as information for unregistered voters. They were scheduled to start arriving at N.C. households this week. The State Board of Elections welcomes efforts to engage voters and promote voter participation. The State Board recognizes, however, that many mailings come unsolicited and can be confusing to some recipients, especially those who are already registered to vote in North Carolina. North Carolina election officials wish to remind voters and prospective voters of the following: The State Board encourages all voters to routinely check their registration status and details using the State Board’s Voter Search tool. If you are already registered to vote, you do not need to do anything and may simply discard the mailing. For information about registering to vote in North Carolina, go to the Registering section at NCSBE.gov. N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles customers can register or update their registration online through the DMV’s website. The regular voter registration deadline for the November 8 general election is October 14. If you miss this deadline, you may register through same-day registration during the in-person early voting period at any early voting site in your county. The State Board of Elections and county boards of elections rarely send mass mailings. If you have questions or concerns about a mailing, please contact the organization responsible for it. Some mailings will include the organization’s contact information, as well as “unsubscribe” information, allowing voters to opt out of future mailings. According to VPC and CVI, mailings will go to unregistered young people who will be eligible to vote in the upcoming elections for the first time, to voters who have recently moved and have not re-registered or updated their voter registration records, and others who are unregistered in the voting age population. Election officials encourage recipients with questions about the mailings to contact these groups directly. Voters may contact the groups by phone at 877-255-6750 (VPC) and 866-290-1599 (CVI). ###
