The Supreme Court on Monday left intact a lower court decision that blocked the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing new regulations for mail voting, rejecting the Trump administration's effort to move forward with the rules in the run-up to the November midterm elections. The Republican-controlled Senate refused to pass the Save America Act - meaning there’s a very good chance there will be voter fraud in the midterm elections. President Trump called the SCOTUS ruling a bad decision for Republicans. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JUST IN: At least 4 teens were arrested at the Delta Fair & Music Festival after mobs of black teens caused stampedes and fights. Law enforcement had to temporarily suspend the fair until order could be restored. Both city and county leaders have allowed the “teens” to destroy our malls, entire neighborhoods, our parks and downtown is on the verge of disaster. City Hall shut down Tom Lee Park on weekend nights for “safety issues.” What’s your solution for stopping the violence? Because more basketball courts and community centers aren’t working.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Parents are raising questions after someone posted an offensive post about 9/11 on the Bartlett High School Facebook page.

The post has since been removed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Otis Sanford, a professor emeritus at the University of Memphis, condemned Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Rep. David Kustoff and State Sen. Brent Taylor on social media. He accused them of selling “their political souls to the most corrupt, incompetent, mean-spirited, conniving, lying, vindictive, race-baiting, misogynistic and dangerous president in American history.” Sanford said that he could not in “good conscience” be silent. This is the sort of propaganda he spewed in the classroom at the UofM – which is why so many UofM journalists are far-left propagandists. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dele Lowman, a member of the DeKalb County Board of Registration and Elections, said the pledge of allegiance is offensive and divisive.

The mayor of Olive Branch, Mississippi is not a very big Dolly Parton fan. Mayor Ken Adams is making national headlines after he refused to lower the American flag to honor the Queen of Country Music. Mayor Adams says that there’s no doubt Dolly brought joy to millions but he says to lower the red, white and blue would diminish the gesture’s significance. The mayor says the flag should only be lowered to honor military heroes, first responders and presidents. The reaction has been somewhat insane. The New York Post picked up on the story – and thousands of people are commenting on social media. Most overwhelmingly object to the mayor’s decision. President Trump and Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves ordered that US and state flags be flown at half-staff for one week to honor Dolly. But under Home Rule, Mississippi allows cities the right to control their own internal affairs – which is why Mayor Adams thumbed his nose at President Trump and Gov. Reeves. Perhaps the mayor could rethink his bone-headed decision – and perhaps lower Old Glory. You know – extend an olive branch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A guy goes into a Best Buy the other day to purchase a laptop. He’s at the checkout asking for some help, which apparently he got. So, the man said to the clerk, “Thank you, sir.” But it turns out the sir – identified as a ma’am. That’s right, folks. The Best Buy employee happened to be transgender. The worker became enraged and defiantly told the customer that he would not sell him a laptop unless he called him “ma’am.” The customer pulled out a cell phone and recorded what happened next. Turns out the store manager agreed with the worker – telling the customer to buy the laptop someplace else. Back in the day Best Buy was known as the home of the Geek Squad. But these days Best Buy is known as the home of the Freak Squad. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jelly Roll, the convicted felon who claims to be a Christian, guest hosted Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show.

I’ve been traveling around the country promoting my new book, “The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America.” And it’s true that the president stopped our country from being taken over by political Islam and the communists. But right now the Administration is dealing with a communication problem – and it could threaten the midterm elections. The American people are hurting financially – affordability is an issue impacting many families. And yet the administration seems to dismiss those concerns. We were told that it was basically our patriotic duty to pay higher gas prices. Now comes word that the republican party’s midterm convention is in trouble. Turns out – it’s going to cost and arm and a leg to attend. House Members are being told they must pay at least $25,000 to attend. And that’s the cheap rate. The highest tier is $100,000. Some are calling it little more than a GOP fundraiser – as opposed to a pep rally for the midterms. And the event scheduled just two days before the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Optics are everything. And the Republicans have a big time optics problem. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The WNBA continues to grapple over the meaning of the “W” in their name. The latest incident involving former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom. Mr. Freedom ejected from Sunday’s game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky.He was wearing a shirt that read, “Woman: noun. Adult human female.”Clearly, Mr. Freedom was trying to help the WNBA understand the definition of the WNBA.He made headlines with his recent decision to declare for the 2027 WNBA draft. Several other male players have also declared – by simply announcing they all identify as women.The WNBA says only women are eligible to play. However, they cannot define what a woman is – so Mr. Freedom decided to call their bluff.Proving the best way to address the absurdity of the sex and gender radicals is to completely embrace their absurdity.Enes is the bravest woman I know!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first degree murder. She accused of killing her own children – five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and eight-month-old Callan. The Massachusetts nurse sent her husband out of the house to run errands while she strangled the children with exercise bands. Her attorneys claim she was suffering from bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis. They say she should not be held criminally responsible for killing her kids. Some 200 woke white women agree and they’ve been protesting outside the courthouse in Plymouth. They believe that Mrs. Clancy is the victim, not her three dead children. Hundreds of women wearing pink shirts – defending a maternal monster. What a strange period of time in American history where cold-blooded killers like Carmello Anthony and Luigi Mangione and Dzhokhar Tsarnaef are celebrated as heroes and worshipped as celebrities. If nothing else it shows that many people in our nation are deceived by the great evil that has enveloped our nation. A disturbing evil. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Big trouble at Derby High School in Kansas. The school yearbook just came out and it’s filled with all sorts of inappropriate material. One student is depicted as a drag queen – a teenage boy wearing a leopard print top and black fishnet stockings. There are also articles attacking Charlie Kirk supporters – along with quotes mocking people who love Jesus. And there was a full page attacking ICE agents for deporting the illegal alien invaders. The Derby High School yearbook also included a message that President Trump is the worst president in American history. Back when we were in school – the yearbook celebrated the best dressed and most likely to succeed. At Derby High School – they are celebrating the most likely to become a domestic terrorist. Sounds like the Derby school yearbook is being edited by former employees of The New York Times and Washington Post. If we are really going to save our Republic, we must take back control of our public schools. I explain how to do that in my new book, “The Golden Age: How Trump Saved America.” You can get a copy on Amazon or your favorite bookstore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is growing frustration at how President Trump is handling the war in Iran. Over the weekend, the president announced that he was holding off on what would have been a massive military bombardment. The president said he pulled back at the request of the Iranians. Meanwhile – Iran says there are no deals in place and they have not held any direct talks with the administration. The on again, off again war is off again. Reaction has been swift – and not good for Team Trump. Nearly a thousand people weighed in on my Facebook page – 99 percent of those who commented were frustrated over the president’s handling of the war. Meanwhile, the Pentagon sent an email to military personnel inviting them to submit creative and unconventional ideas to punish Iran. Unconventional Ideas? How about bombing them back to the stone age? What in the world is going on? The American people were very clear – no more forever wars. And what was supposed to be a six-week war has turned into a six month war – and counting. We’ve been told dozens of times that deals were in place only to watch the Iranians break the deal. It’s time to either fish or cut bait. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Talarico, the low-testosterone Democrat running for the U.S. Senate, said in a podcast interview that the Bible nothing more than propaganda. He denounced efforts to education leaders to infuse Bible stories into school curriculum. Talarico, who is a theologian, also claims that God is non-binary and Jesus affirms abortion. Talarico also promoted a vegan lifestyle and once vowed to run a meatless campaign. To boost his Texas bonafides, he has been seen eating brisket and reportedly rented a pickup truck.

A liberal woman took her kids to the dentist the other day. The dentist is a Christian and he had placed Bibles in the waiting room. That apparently set off this lady who fired off an angry rant on social media. She was so triggered by the presence of God’s Word that she canceled the appointment. The woman defended her rant by saying that America is not a Christian nation and she did not appreciate a private business putting Bibles in the waiting room. Well, I hate to break it to this lady – but America is a country where we embrace religious liberty. And a private business owner can put whatever he wants in the lobby of his lobby. Honest to goodness – the intolerance of these liberals is something to behold. Not sure what’s worse – getting a root canal or being forced to listen to an unhinged, far-left loon. At least you get drugs with the root canal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
