The 4th Circuit court of appeals yesterday issued an order on MS-13 terrorist Abrego-Garcia that is absolutely horrific. It reads like a badly written soft-cover romance novel. It is larded public policy aspirations that do not fall within the authority of the inferior trial courts, and imagines a speculative slippery slope that is nowhere to be found in the facts of the case before it. All of that on a foundation of a horrifically flawed understanding of even the basic facts of the case before it. It finishes by claiming the ultimate authority to govern the American people, with the Article II Executive Branch of government bound to bend the knee to whatever these unelected, black-robed, tyrannical inferior district trial court judges wish to levy upon us.Our Founders did not create a nation in which were all to be ruled by Article III judges, least susceptible of all government branches to the political will of the American people. Especially when they rule not only without authority but out of ignorance. Let's break it all down!

In this episode, we dive into the latest clash between the judiciary and President Donald Trump's administration. Maryland v. Dept. of Agriculture pits an Obama-appointed federal judge, James Bredar, against Trump's Article II executive authority. At issue? Trump's firing of thousands of federal workers, which a coalition of states claims causes them "inconvenience." Judge Bredar ordered Trump to re-hire all the fired employees, but Trump's team has appealed to the Court of Appeals—and may take it all the way to the Supreme Court to defend his constitutional right to fire executive branch staff. Fresh off a SCOTUS stay in a similar California case (keeping 16,000 fired employees out of work for now), the White House is pushing back hard. Today, they sent the Court of Appeals a clear message: follow SCOTUS' lead and respect Trump's executive power. Join us as we break down the White House's argument, the legal showdown, and what this means for the balance of power in Washington.

Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — The FBI is asking for anyone who may have passed by or saw the New Orleans terror suspect to contact authorities. The agency released surveillance images showing Shamsud-Din Jabbar near Bourbon Street more than an hour before the attack that killed at least 14 people. The images show Jabbar and a cooler that contained an improvised explosive device that was placed on the street. Two ---- Two people are dead and at least 18 more are injured after a plane crashed into a warehouse in Fullerton, California. The plane reportedly crashed into the building around 2 p.m. Thursday. Of the 18 people injured, ten were taken to a hospital and eight were treated at the scene. And number three — A U.S. Court of Appeals has struck down the FCC's “net neutrality” rules governing internet service providers. Democrats considered the reinstatement of net neutrality as a major accomplishment under the Biden administration. Net neutrality was adopted by the FCC under the Obama administration, reversed under Trump (when we were told people would die if the policy were removed) then reinstated under President Joe Biden. No one perished.

On November 25, 2024, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected her request for an en banc review, where all active judges would reconsider her case.

Chinese Man Saves Hundreds of Lives in China And. . .Here is the common grace of God at work in China. He's the Angel of Nanjing, and he makes it his job to rescue people attempting suicide at the iconic Yangtze Bridge. Over 23 years, Mr. Chen Si has saved 469 people from jumping off the bridge, and taking their own lives. Mr. Chen holds up a heart-shaped sign that reads: “Nothing is impossible. When God closes a door, he opens up a window.” , . and dons a coat that reads: “Cherish life everyday.” He patrols the bridge ten times a day on his motor scooter. His journey to defending life started in 2000, when he came across a desperate-looking girl about to jump He bought her lunch, chatted with her for a while, and then paid her way back to her home. That's when he said he realized these people could be saved. A documentary on the Angel of Nanjing is available on Amazon. Mr Chen says in the documentary quote “I understand these people I know they are tired of living here. They've had difficulties. They have no one to help. They carry this burden by themselves. There's a saying in China, ‘The prosperity of a nation is everyone's responsibility'. How can we avoid this responsibility? Proverbs 24:11 speaks to this. “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” And that's The World View in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, August 6th, in the year of our Lord 2024.

In a disturbing recent trend, multiple promising legal efforts and programs that addressed longstanding systems of inequality have been shut down and challenged. Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals blocked Fearless Fund from awarding grants to historically underfunded women of color-led businesses. In Evanston, Illinois, the historic municipal reparations program is now being challenged in court. And the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed a suit filed by survivors of one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history, occurring in Tulsa in 1921. On this week's MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum discuss these alarming recent developments and strategize on the present and future of Black progress.
