SCOTUS is ruling on some of the remaining cases today before they break…
BREAKING SCOTUS RULING: Run to the Border:
Basically, sending the case back to the court it came from…
Meanwhile…

BREAKING SCOTUS RULING: EPAs Boot-on-Neck overreach not viable on ‘carbon footprints’:
Due to the EPA decision, it will be much more difficult for President Biden to order sweeping environmental changes without congressional approval…
— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) June 30, 2022
…The Court states “This view of EPA’s authority was not only unprecedented; it also effected a “fundamental revision of the statute, changing it from [one sort of] scheme of . . . regulation” into an entirely different kind.”
— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) June 30, 2022
…Senate Majority Leader Schumer has condemned the decision which is curious for the head of one of the houses of Congress. This opinion reaffirms the power of the Congress and Article I powers generally.
— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) June 30, 2022
…It is a curious sight of a congressional leader denouncing a decision that prevents the circumvention of Congress. It is a virtual statement of self-loathing like a player complaining of being sent back into the game by the coach.
— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) June 30, 2022
…This is not the first time that Democrats have called for a president to usurp the authority of their own branch. It undermines the faith held by figures like Madison that ambition would combat ambition in the protection of the separation of powers. https://t.co/ecZpknvBle

Putin lives rent-free in old Joe’s empty cob-webbed attic mind:
Energy experts have been warning of energy rationing for weeks. IEA warned of rationing 3 weeks ago. Germany moved closer to rationing nat gas last week after Russia curtailed supplies. And today, the heads of France’s 3 biggest energy companies called for voluntary rationing. pic.twitter.com/3SF8LYdgfI

While China is investing in oil & gas to lift nations out of poverty, Biden & G-7 are investing in renewables, which will keep poor nations poor.

I saw this a few days ago. THIS was some very irresponsible crap right here, talking within mic/camera shot especially among other world leaders. Wreckless information/speculation slips like this could affect the world markets. Some in the video’s comments are wondering if this was intentional (in front of ‘selected’ media types nearby). Look at clueless Joe’s face as Macron fills him in….
Europe is on the verge of rationing energy and yet Biden & European leaders have just proposed $600B in global infrastructure spending focused on renewables, w/ ZERO to increase oil/gas production

Biden was counting on Arab nations to produce more oil but a few hours ago French President Macron was overheard telling Biden that the United Arab Emirates is at max capacity & the Saudis can’t produce much more. It appears to be a direct appeal to Biden to produce more oil. pic.twitter.com/vRWJVpn3El
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) June 27, 2022
This is a game-changing revelation since Biden was counting on Saudi Arabia & UAE. They were the only two OPEC nations perceived to have spare capacity.
Macron’s revelation means that it’s up to the U.S. to produce more oil, and soon, or the energy crisis will get much worse.
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) June 27, 2022
Biden’s refusal to expand oil and gas production in the US in the midst of the worst energy crisis in 50 years was insane *before* Macron’s revelation.
Now, if Biden doesn’t act, he is effectively renouncing America’s standing as the leader of the free world. https://t.co/wkT9G2ABo5
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) June 27, 2022
Biden’s demanding Arab nations produce more oil at the same moment he is considering a total ban on new offshore oil & gas drilling, 6 days after delaying new on-shore O&G drilling, and 1 month after killing a 1M acre O&G lease sale in Alaska. It’s as insane as it looks. pic.twitter.com/EJo4DkZGOP
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) June 27, 2022
In fact, it’s more insane than it looks. The reason is because OPEC is reaching the limits of what it can produce, the US will wind down releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in October, and oil demand is poised to grow by a minimum of 1.5 billion barrels a day next year. pic.twitter.com/dYAzZG4b0g

It’s true that higher oil prices will stimulate a supply response globally, but Arab nations are reaching their total production limits, sanctions on Russian oil remove a significant amount of oil from global markets, and now Biden is restricting supply growth in the U.S. pic.twitter.com/9Yvm9TTISO
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) June 27, 2022
In the past, restricting oil and gas production in the U.S. meant that it occurred elsewhere. The result was modestly higher prices. But the sanctions on Russian oil & the success of climate activists restricting O&G production in Africa make the supply crisis even more acute. https://t.co/tb6NYZ8DHF

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe, the Biden White House is now referring the public to https://t.co/CpSZ3ETd7b.
— Philip Melanchthon Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) June 28, 2022
The website the White House highlighted includes information for minors, children “15 or younger,” on how they can bypass parental notification laws. https://t.co/7vbKofIY7K
— Philip Melanchthon Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) June 28, 2022
And when parent(s) have to grab their health insurance card as they call EMTs or run minor Buffy to the ER bleeding out & in acute pain & spiking a temp of 105 & the ER Dr/NP ask how’d this happen that’ll be a F-ing fantastic referral to brag about esp when the copay bill comes.

Tina Moore, Jack Morphet, Joe Marino, Kevin Sheehan and Gabrielle Fonrouge: Young mom shot dead on Upper East Side victim of domestic violence: cops
The victim, identified by her mother as 20-year-old Azsia Johnson, texted relatives that she had been planning on meeting her infant’s dad on Wednesday night, according to the sources.
“She was targeted. It was a close head shot and there were powder burns,” a high-ranking police source said.
Johnson had been assaulted by her ex-boyfriend in Jamaica, Queens, about six months ago while six months pregnant with his child, her heartbroken mom, Lisa Desort, told The Post.
Following the altercation, Desort said, the ex-boyfriend continued “stalking” and harassing her daughter. They called police for help, but he was not arrested, she claimed.
“We called the precinct numerous times to tell the [domestic violence] unit that he was stalking and harrowing her. Even [though] they knew what apartment he lived in, they failed to apprehend and arrest him,” the mom continued.
“The city failed to protect my daughter.”
The NYPD didn’t immediately return a request for comment. Law enforcement sources confirmed Johnson had previously been the victim of a domestic violence incident, and that her shooting death was “domestic” in nature…
