Podcasts about utah constitution

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon  The Utah Constitution says that proposed amendments to the State Constitution must be published in "at least one newspaper in every county of the state ... for two months immediately preceding the next general election." You might remember, this played a role in the courts throwing out Amendments A and D during the November election. Inside Sources digs into a new bill that would eliminate this newspaper publishing requirement. 

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon  “War on waste” as DOGE subcommittee meets for the first time  It's a "war on waste” -- that's how Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene described the focus of the first ever DOGE subcommittee meeting this morning. It comes as Elon Musk defends the efforts and actions of DOGE and as Democrats call for Musk to testify under oath about the Department of Government Efficiency. Inside Sources begins with a discussion on the latest DOGE developments.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation on housing affordability  We’re coming up on the halfway point in the 2025 Legislative General Session, but there are still plenty of bills to discuss. State Representative Carol Spackman Moss is working on a bill address affordable housing – HB286: Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund Amendments. This bill would take some revenue from liquor sales and move it into this loan fund. Rep. Moss joins Inside Sources to explain more about what her bill would do.     On the Hill 2025: Reaffirming Utah’s sovereignty  One of the unique aspects of the United States is the prevalence and importance of federalism -- some powers belong to the Federal Government and some power belong to the States. Federalism has led to disagreements between the states and the federal government many times, including here in Utah. State Senator Wayne Harper will introduce a new Senate Joint Resolution that addresses the relationship and joins the show to share the motivation behind it.    On the Hill 2025: Removing newspaper publishing requirement from Utah Constitution  The Utah Constitution says that proposed amendments to the State Constitution must be published in "at least one newspaper in every county of the state ... for two months immediately preceding the next general election." You might remember, this played a role in the courts throwing out Amendments A and D during the November election. Inside Sources digs into a new bill that would eliminate this newspaper publishing requirement.    How is President Trump responding to rising inflation rates?  Inflation continued to rise in January. And even though President Trump was only in office for 11 days in January, many people are thrusting the blame on him. The President isn’t always able to control the price of things, but Trump did promise to bring prices down on Day 1 of his administration. And he hasn’t... So, what’s he doing in response to rising prices? Rusty and Taylor give their thoughts.    Polls on Pres. Trump’s performance give insights into how Americans feeling  How's the president doing in the polls after a few weeks in office? New polling gives us an indication on what voters are pleased with and what they're annoyed with in regards to President Trump's recent decisions. The Inside Sources discuss the latest poll results.    Trump administration working towards peace between Russia and Ukraine  President Trump says he and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to work towards an end of the war between Ukraine and Russia. It comes as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says Ukraine should lower their expectations of getting land back. We hear a bit of what President Trump told reporters about the phone call.    AP reporters barred from Oval Office because of AP policy on ‘Gulf of America’  Reporters with the Associated Press have been barred from the Oval Office due to the AP’s style guide policy on how to refer to ‘Gulf of America’ -- say ‘Gulf of Mexico’ but reference President Trump’s decision to rename it. Inside Sources finishes the show with the hosts sharing thoughts on the President’s obsession with the new name.   

Hosts: Rusty Cannon and Adam Gardiner  In 1900, the Utah Constitution was amended to allow for ballot initiatives. Since then, 7 have passed. But of those 7, only 2 have received 60% of the vote -- enough to be a kind of supermajority. Now, one state lawmaker hopes to make it a rule that initiatives that result in a tax increase must receive 60% of the vote to pass. Inside Sources hosts Adam Gardiner and Rusty Cannon explain. 

Hosts: Rusty Cannon and Adam Gardiner  House Republicans race against Senate Republicans to come up with a budget Republican leaders in the House are now racing against the Senate to make progress on the budget. This comes after the House GOP struggles to come to a consensus on financial priorities. And the Senate? They aren't wasting any time either. We begin today's show in our nation's capital, where Senate Republicans are preparing to meet with Trump to discuss their own budget reconciliation.  Vice Pres. JD Vance assigned to work on potential TikTok sale President Trump has continually promised to save TikTok and keep it accessible in the U.S. Following his assurances, TikTok came back online. Since then, however, it's been a little quiet as to the future of the social media platform. The Inside Sources hosts share new updates, including Vice President JD Vance’s assignment to oversee a potential sale of TikTok.  On the Hill 2025: More on a proposed constitutional amendment on initiatives In 1900, the Utah Constitution was amended to allow for ballot initiatives. Since then, 7 have passed. But of those 7, only 2 have received 60% of the vote -- enough to be a kind of supermajority. Now, one state lawmaker hopes to make it a rule that initiatives that result in a tax increase must receive 60% of the vote to pass. Inside Sources hosts Adam Gardiner and Rusty Cannon explain.  On the Hill 2025: Legislation that adds criminal punishments for defacing political signs Our special coverage of Utah's Legislative Session continues this segment with a look at political advertisements. Specifically, the bill we want to talk about -- HB 292 -- addresses situations when people remove, damage, destroy, or add to political signs; it also discusses the location of where people put signs. The bill's sponsor, State Representative Jordan Teuscher joins us to talk more about it.  DOGE continues digging into the federal government DOGE... it's still making waves as its people get deeper and deeper into the inner workings of Washington and the Federal Government. We've already talked about some of the concerns folks -- mainly Democrats -- have raised, but now several lawsuits are trying to restrict DOGE's access to "sensitive information." Adam and Rusty share their thoughts about DOGE’s movements.  Elon Musk becomes latest target of angry Democrats Democrats have been trying to reframe their messaging since the election -- we talked a bit about that yesterday on Inside Sources. Part of this revamped messaging is turning their focus from President Trump to Elon Musk. In effect, he's become their new "boogeyman." Is this focus shift going to help Democrats or hurt them? Inside Sources looks at both sides.  Is Pres. Trump going against the Republican Party orthodoxy? You've heard us talk about this before on the show -- whether Donald Trump is a true conservative or just a populist. Either way, he's the face of the Republican Party. And some have criticized the beginning of his presidency as a kind of "power grab,” going against the traditional small-government values of the GOP. Are those criticisms warranted? The Inside Sources give their takes.  On the Hill 2025: Is it ‘Utahn’ or ‘Utahan’? Each state has a list of state symbols -- things that represent the state and its people. Utah has some unique ones, like the honeybee as our state insect. Did you know Utah has an official state cooking pot? It's the Dutch oven. Or how about the state vegetable? There's technically two: one is the Spanish sweet onion and the historic one is the sugar beet. Anyway, there's not an official demonym -- what you call a person from Utah. State Sen. Dan McCay proposes we finally make "Utahn" official. 

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Greg Skordas  On the Hill 2025: The latest on the bill to ban public labor union collective bargaining  One of the hottest bills on Utah’s Capitol Hill so far this session has been on removing the ability for public labor unions to do collective bargaining with their employers. We’ve covered it a bit on Inside Sources already but today – after already passing the House – the Senate decided to ‘circle’ the bill, which effectively pauses it for a time. Hosts Adam Gardiner and Greg Skordas explain where it goes from here.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation regarding the privacy of signatures gathered for a political candidate  The 2024 primary election brought a bit of controversy over the privacy of signatures gathered for political candidates. A new bill – which was just publicly released – looks to address this kind of situation. We wanted to get the latest on what the bill will do, so State Representative Mike Kohler joins Inside Sources to explain.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation that could remove publication requirements for proposed constitutional amendments  In 2024, Amendments A and D were tossed from the ballot partially due to missing a publication deadline requirement as stipulated in the Utah Constitution. During this Legislative Session... one State Representative is looking at ways to remove that same publication requirement specific to proposed constitutional amendments. State Representative Anthony Loubet walks listeners through his proposal on Inside Sources.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation addressing law enforcement’s use of artificial intelligence  “Disclose it if you use it” -- that’s the major takeaway of a new bill on Capitol Hill that addresses how law enforcement could use artificial intelligence. State Senator Stephanie Pitcher says there needs to be some kind of guidelines put in place before it becomes an issue. She joins hosts Greg Skordas and Adam Gardiner to share more insights into SB180.    Tariffs on Mexico and Canada go into effect this weekend  Following through on his campaign promise, President Donald Trump is instituting 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada -- as well as a 10% duty on goods from China -- starting tomorrow. The White House hasn’t released a lot of specifics yet, but be prepared to pay more... starting almost immediately. The Inside Sources have a lot of thoughts on this; they share them during this segment.    Examining an executive order that would affect international college students  This week, President Trump signed an executive order that could affect international students on college campuses. The primary motivation? The antisemitic protests on college campuses during the Israel/Hamas war. Inside Sources discusses potential issues this could have due to things like the First Amendment.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation to slow the flow of fentanyl movement in Utah  Fentanyl has become more and more prevalent on Utah streets, and it’s become deadlier too. State Representative, and current chief of police in Roy, Matthew Gwynn is looking at several ways to help control the flow of fentanyl. He joins us to talk more about legislation he’s working on and the funding he’s asking for to make things happen.    

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Greg Skordas  In 2024, Amendments A and D were tossed from the ballot partially due to missing a publication deadline requirement as stipulated in the Utah Constitution. During this Legislative Session... one State Representative is looking at ways to remove that same publication requirement specific to proposed constitutional amendments. State Representative Anthony Loubet walks listeners through his proposal on Inside Sources. 

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner  Week 2 of the Legislative Session gets underway on Utah’s Capitol Hill  Inside Sources begins a special show live from Utah’s Capitol Hill to celebrate the second week of the 2025 Legislative General Session. HB267, which would make changes to the way labor unions work with public employers, just passed in the State House of Representatives. Inside Sources shares some information on the bill and the hosts hypothesize on its future as it heads to the State Senate.  On the Hill 2025: Legislation to add firearm safety to Utah’s public-school curriculum Growing up in rural Utah, State Representative Rex Shipp says his life was aided and protected in knowing how to act around firearms. He says that today, as the state becomes more urban, children don’t get the ability to interact with guns, so they’re unfamiliar with them and their danger. He’s proposing a bill that would add firearm safety courses to Utah’s public-school curriculum; he joins the show to talk about why he believes the courses would protect Utah’s youth.  On the Hill 2025: Arguments for making changes to the ballot initiative process As many political insiders expected, this year’s legislative session has several bills relating to ballot initiatives. State Senator Lincoln Fillmore is running a bill that would clarify publication and notification requirements for citizen ballot initiatives. He joins Inside Sources to explain the motivations behind this bill and why it would require all proposals to amend the Utah Constitution be published in newspapers around the state.  On the Hill 2025: Arguments against making changes to the ballot initiative process Not everyone is a fan of adding more requirements to the ballot initiative process. Several legislators say the bill Sen. Fillmore is running would make citizen ballot initiatives even harder to run. State Senator Kathleen Riebe says she’s worried about the overall implications created by adding more steps to the process. She joins Inside Sources to give an opposing view to this bill.  On the Hill 2025: The state of politics in Utah Oftentimes, we think of politics as being divisive and full of anger. Members of the Utah Legislature – even those on opposite sides of the aisle – are an exception to this; there’s often comradery and friendship. State Representatives Andrew Stoddard and Casey Snider don’t agree on many bills but find ways to cross the aisle. They join Inside Sources to share perspectives on several pieces of legislation in the session.  On the Hill 2025: Sunday-related legislation Two pieces of legislation have really caught our eye this session: one would prevent franchisers from requiring franchisees to be open on Sunday and another would allow car dealerships to be open on Sunday. The franchise-related bill is still set to move forward but the car dealership bill has been abandoned for now. Inside Sources hosts Adam Gardiner and Taylor Morgan discuss the two bills and how they relate to things like free markets and free trade.  President Trump’s weekend situation with Colombia and planes filled with migrants Over the weekend, the country of Colombia turned away multiple US military planes filled with Colombian migrants. It sparked ire from President Trump, who threatened hefty tariffs on the country unless they allowed the flights. Inside Sources finishes this special show analyzing the decision from Colombia and the response from the Trump administration. 

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner  As many political insiders expected, this year’s legislative session has several bills relating to ballot initiatives. State Senator Lincoln Fillmore is running a bill that would clarify publication and notification requirements for citizen ballot initiatives. He joins Inside Sources to explain the motivations behind this bill and why it would require all proposals to amend the Utah Constitution be published in newspapers around the state. 

A Utah judge ruled in favor of the Moab Police Department in a lawsuit brought by Gabby Petito's family, citing the Government Immunity Act of Utah as the basis for his decision. The lawsuit stemmed from the department's handling of a domestic violence incident two weeks before Petito's murder by her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie. Petito's tragic death in August 2021 gained widespread attention when her remains were discovered in Wyoming. Laundrie, later identified as her killer, died by suicide, leaving behind a notebook confession. The Petito family's $50 million civil lawsuit alleged that Moab Police failed to follow state laws and department policies during a roadside stop in which they investigated a domestic violence incident between Petito and Laundrie. They argue that this failure endangered her life. Judge Don Torgerson acknowledged the family's concerns but ruled that the police department could not be held accountable under Utah's legal framework. “I do think that plaintiffs have made a prima facie case that Moab's officers' conduct here could have been a cause of death. Not necessarily THE cause of death, but a cause of death,” Torgerson said during the hearing. Despite these remarks, the judge explained that the Government Immunity Act shields officers from liability, leading to his ruling in favor of the police department. The decision allows the Petito family to escalate the case to the Utah Supreme Court, and they intend to do so. In a statement provided to FOX 13 News, the family shared their resolve: "While the ruling today may feel like a setback, it was not unexpected. We never anticipated that this would be an easy process and look forward to the Utah Supreme Court upholding the Utah Constitution's original intent to preserve the right to recover for wrongful death claims under these circumstances. We remain committed to pursuing justice for Gabby and thank the many people who have continued to support us in that fight." The case highlights ongoing debates over police accountability and the effectiveness of domestic violence interventions. During the original roadside stop, body camera footage showed a visibly distressed Gabby Petito speaking with officers. Critics have argued that the officers misclassified her as the primary aggressor, contrary to evidence suggesting she was a victim. The family asserts that better intervention could have prevented her death. While the court's ruling absolves the Moab Police Department of legal responsibility, it has reignited public discourse about the importance of law enforcement's role in protecting victims of domestic violence. #GabbyPetito #BrianLaundrie #MoabPolice #DomesticViolence #UtahLaw #WrongfulDeath #JusticeForGabby Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Planned Parenthood and other clinics can continue to offer abortions in Utah, at least for now, a district court judge decided Tuesday in the latest development in a case that will determine the future of reproductive options in the Beehive State. Whether a law that bans abortion clinics in Utah goes into effect now depends on a larger question that lies with the state's highest court as it considers the state's blocked trigger law: Is the right to an abortion protected by the Utah Constitution? In his order Tuesday, 3rd District Court Judge Andrew Stone completely avoided that question, saying it is out of his jurisdiction. He instead focused on whether the law unfairly targets abortion clinics like those run by Planned Parenthood.

Now, here’s what you may have missed over the weekend: https://fox8.com/sports/transgender-kids-can-be-considered-to-play-girls-sports-in-utah-after-ruling/ Transgender kids can be considered to play girls sports in Utah after ruling Transgender girls in Utah will be given the opportunity to participate in girls’ sports as the school year begins, after a judge on Friday reversed a ban pending legal challenges from parents. Instead of an outright ban, transgender girls will now be sent before a commission that will determine on a case-by-case basis if their participation compromises fairness. Utah’s Republican lawmakers created the commission in a law passed earlier this year as a fallback plan to be implemented in case of an injunction against the law. Under the law, the panel will be allowed to ask for and assess the child’s height and weight in making decisions about whether a transgender girl would have an unfair advantage. The commission, which is set to be convened in the coming weeks, will include politically appointed experts from athletics and medicine. When proposed, the commission was criticized by advocates for transgender student-athletes — who worried they would feel targeted having their bodies measured — and proponents of an outright ban, who argued it didn’t go far enough. The commission is set to go into effect while the court weighs the legal challenge to the outright ban. Members have not yet been appointed but will be in the coming weeks, legislative leaders said. The state’s association overseeing more than 80,000 students playing high school sports has said only one transgender girl competed in their leagues last year and, with school sports already underway, it’s unclear how many will go before the commission and when its decisions will take effect. Utah’s ruling marked the latest court development in a nationwide debate over how to navigate the flashpoint issue. At least 12 Republican-led states — including Utah — have passed laws banning transgender women or girls in sports based on the premise it gives them an unfair competitive advantage. Transgender rights advocates counter the rules aren’t just about sports, but another way to demean and attack transgender youth. Similar cases are underway in states such as Idaho, West Virginia and Indiana. Utah’s ban took effect in July after its Republican-supermajority Legislature overrode a veto by Gov. Spencer Cox, also a Republican. The transgender girls and the parents filed the lawsuit last May, contending the ban violates the Utah Constitution’s guarantees of equal rights and due process. Utah state Sen. Stuart Adams, a Republican, said in a statement Friday that the commission that will now make decisions in a way “to protect equitable and safe competition while preserving the integrity of women’s sports.” The commission will include a medical data statistician, a physician with experience about “gender identity healthcare”, a sports physiologist, mental health professional, collegiate athletic trainer, representative of an athletic association and a rotating member who is a coach or official in the sport relevant to each case. Minter said he hopes the commission will act merely as a safety net, with the presumption being that transgender girls can play unless there is an obvious issue of competitive fairness. https://thepostmillennial.com/principal-calls-police-on-4-year-old-who-refuses-to-wear-face-mask?utm_campaign=64487 Principal calls police on 4-year-old who refuses to wear face mask A California father is calling for change after police escorted him and his son, 4, from school property for attempting to drop his son off without a mask. The father, who is only identified as Shawn by the Daily Mail, was confronted by local police on Thursday at Theuerkauf Elementary School in Mountain View, a city in Silicon Valley. In a video recorded by Shawn, the little boy is maskless and being escorted from school by a staff member. https://twitter.com/i/status/1560413879888257025 - Play Video The seven-day rolling average for positive COVID cases in the area, which is one of the most affluent in the nation, is 544, significantly down from the peak of 5,127, reported Daily Mail. On Friday, the day after the incident, Mountain View Whisman School District changed its policy, in accordance with a new CDC guideline. The students at their nine elementary and two middle schools are now no longer required to wear face masks. However, Shawn claims the mask mandates have not gone away for good because the rule could be easily reinstated. "They have not rescinded the policy," he explained. "Ultimately what we are trying to do is get parental choice or parental opt out." According to the disgruntled father, the district's policy on masking is a week-by-week on/off switch. Shawn said he and his wife believe their son may have special needs. He also said the son has never worn a face mask before. When he was asked to at routine doctor's visits, he became distressed. To help ease the transition into school, Shawn said he began voicing his concerns about mandatory masks to Mountain View Whisman School District in the spring, but the superintendent was unresponsive. "They told me to force it on him," Shawn told Daily Mail. "They are basically telling me to assault and batter my son." I sympathize with the father, but I also put the blame on him… get your kid out of public school. End of story. Perhaps this is the Lord opening his eyes to the issue?

According to 19 House Republicans, President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security is planning on using hard-earned taxpayer money to fund the transportation of illegal aliens from the border to cross into the country. The House Transportation Committee blames Biden's urgent need to end Title 42 for the massive spike of illegals crossing the border, inciting GOP members to heighten the need to expose the president's plans. In a letter to Amtrak officials, Republicans cautioned that Biden may use their transportation services for processing if immigration checkpoints are inundated with new arrivals, furthering the crisis at the border. "We are concerned about the impact that a significantly greater border surge could cause to your services and the potential use of Amtrak in the Administration's response to its self-created border crisis," the letter reads. "Such a situation would cause disruptions for Amtrak customers as well as interrupt freight traffic that could further exacerbate the supply chain crisis…would also constitute an unconscionable use of significant amounts of taxpayer funds and resources to aid in the vast movement of illegal migrants into American communities," the letter continued. The Republicans said they are "deeply concerned" that Amtrak's resources will be used to move undocumented people. "We are deeply concerned that Amtrak's resources – especially those supporting the Sunset Limited route – will be used to transport these undocumented persons. Such a situation would cause disruptions for Amtrak customers as well as interrupt freight traffic that could further exacerbate the supply chain crisis. Such actions would also constitute an unconscionable use of significant amounts of taxpayer funds and resources to aid in the vast movement of illegal migrants into American communities," the GOP members' letter said. The Customs Border and Protection (CBP) announced earlier this week that nearly 200,000 illegal migrants have entered the U.S. in July alone, taking the total so far this fiscal year to 1.946 million encounters. https://www.theepochtimes.com/4-9-million-illegal-aliens-crossed-us-border-in-18-months-since-biden-took-office-report_4678365.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport 4.9 Million Illegal Aliens Crossed US Border in 18 Months Since Biden Took Office Nearly 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed U.S. borders in the 18 months since President Joe Biden took office, according to a new report. A total of 4.9 million illegal aliens, including some 900,000 “gotaways” who evaded apprehension and have since disappeared into American communities, have entered the country by the end of July, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) said in a statement on Aug. 16. “Roughly the equivalent of the entire population of Ireland has illegally entered the United States in the 18 months President Biden has been in office, with many being released into American communities,” FAIR President Dan Stein said in the press release. He blamed Biden for putting the unprecedented surge down to external factors, not the administration’s own “sabotage” of immigration laws. After rolling back key Trump-era policies, Biden presided over the largest number of apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the U.S.–Mexico border in a calendar year in history, recording almost 1.9 million arrests last year. https://www.boundingintosports.com/2022/08/dwyane-wade-files-to-legally-change-the-name-of-his-son-in-order-to-conform-with-gender-identity/ Dwyane Wade Files To Legally Change The Name Of His Son In Order “To Conform With Gender Identity” The Blast reports they obtained the legal documents noting that Wade wants his 15-year-old son’s name legally changed from Zion Malachi Airamis Wade to Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade. The documents purportedly explain the reason for the name change is “to conform with gender identity.” Wade’s ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, who is the mother of Zion, was notified of the decision with The Blast quoting the documents, “Pursuant to the terms of the Final Custody Judgment, (Wade) has full authority to make decisions on behalf of the petitioning minor, and he is not required to receive consent from Ms. Funches-Wade. As a courtesy, Ms. Funches-Wade has received notice of this petition.” Wade claimed his son believed he was a girl when he was 12-years-old during an appearance on The Ellen Show. Dwyane Wade’s Candid Talk About Supporting His 12-Year-Old's Gender Identity- Play 0:00-2:40 Well there’s the problem… Dwayne Wade has abdicated his role as the father of the home, and is letting his wife and son wear the pants or dress in the family. Wade as the captain has crashed his families ship into our cultures insanity, and now his children are paying the price, for his weak, and effeminate leadership. Wade also wrote in a now deleted Instagram Post, “Everyone allow her to re-introduce herself, her name is Zaya Wade! Last night was Zaya’s first red carpet and we couldn’t have been prouder of how she handled the questions that were asked of her.” Heartbreaking stuff. Wade thinks he’s helping his son by supporting his gender dysphoria, but if you ask me, he’s just guaranteed that his son is going to despise his father in the long run.

"Such a situation would cause disruptions for Amtrak customers as well as interrupt freight traffic that could further exacerbate the supply chain crisis…would also constitute an unconscionable use of significant amounts of taxpayer funds and resources to aid in the vast movement of illegal migrants into American communities," the letter continued. The Republicans said they are "deeply concerned" that Amtrak's resources will be used to move undocumented people. "We are deeply concerned that Amtrak's resources – especially those supporting the Sunset Limited route – will be used to transport these undocumented persons. Such a situation would cause disruptions for Amtrak customers as well as interrupt freight traffic that could further exacerbate the supply chain crisis. Such actions would also constitute an unconscionable use of significant amounts of taxpayer funds and resources to aid in the vast movement of illegal migrants into American communities," the GOP members' letter said. The Customs Border and Protection (CBP) announced earlier this week that nearly 200,000 illegal migrants have entered the U.S. in July alone, taking the total so far this fiscal year to 1.946 million encounters. https://www.theepochtimes.com/4-9-million-illegal-aliens-crossed-us-border-in-18-months-since-biden-took-office-report_4678365.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport 4.9 Million Illegal Aliens Crossed US Border in 18 Months Since Biden Took Office Nearly 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed U.S. borders in the 18 months since President Joe Biden took office, according to a new report. A total of 4.9 million illegal aliens, including some 900,000 “gotaways” who evaded apprehension and have since disappeared into American communities, have entered the country by the end of July, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) said in a statement on Aug. 16. “Roughly the equivalent of the entire population of Ireland has illegally entered the United States in the 18 months President Biden has been in office, with many being released into American communities,” FAIR President Dan Stein said in the press release. He blamed Biden for putting the unprecedented surge down to external factors, not the administration’s own “sabotage” of immigration laws. After rolling back key Trump-era policies, Biden presided over the largest number of apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the U.S.–Mexico border in a calendar year in history, recording almost 1.9 million arrests last year. https://www.boundingintosports.com/2022/08/dwyane-wade-files-to-legally-change-the-name-of-his-son-in-order-to-conform-with-gender-identity/ Dwyane Wade Files To Legally Change The Name Of His Son In Order “To Conform With Gender Identity” The Blast reports they obtained the legal documents noting that Wade wants his 15-year-old son’s name legally changed from Zion Malachi Airamis Wade to Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade. The documents purportedly explain the reason for the name change is “to conform with gender identity.” Wade’s ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, who is the mother of Zion, was notified of the decision with The Blast quoting the documents, “Pursuant to the terms of the Final Custody Judgment, (Wade) has full authority to make decisions on behalf of the petitioning minor, and he is not required to receive consent from Ms. Funches-Wade. As a courtesy, Ms. Funches-Wade has received notice of this petition.” Wade claimed his son believed he was a girl when he was 12-years-old during an appearance on The Ellen Show. Dwyane Wade’s Candid Talk About Supporting His 12-Year-Old's Gender Identity- Play 0:00-2:40 Well there’s the problem… Dwayne Wade has abdicated his role as the father of the home, and is letting his wife and son wear the pants or dress in the family. Wade as the captain has crashed his families ship into our cultures insanity, and now his children are paying the price, for his weak, and effeminate leadership. Wade also wrote in a now deleted Instagram Post, “Everyone allow her to re-introduce herself, her name is Zaya Wade! Last night was Zaya’s first red carpet and we couldn’t have been prouder of how she handled the questions that were asked of her.” Heartbreaking stuff. Wade thinks he’s helping his son by supporting his gender dysphoria, but if you ask me, he’s just guaranteed that his son is going to despise his father in the long run.
