Biden’s ‘war’ on energy will cost Americans jobs, worsen inflation, Montana officials say
FIRST ON FOX: Montana Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte and Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., are raising red flags over the Biden administration’s “war” on energy, warning that it is negatively impacting certain communities in their state and the United States overall. The two Republican officials are slated to appear Tuesday evening at the Rosebud Mine in Colstrip, where they’ll join Montana energy industry leaders in holding a roundtable discussion about the impacts of recent regulations put in place by the Biden administration to eliminate coal production in the state. “Joe Biden has made it clear that he’d rather appease the demands of far-left activists than address the affordability crisis he’s created,” Gianforte said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. “Affordable power generated by coal keeps the lights on in Montana and fuels manufacturing across the country. Today, we call on the president to end his war on coal that drives up costs, threatens the reliability of our electrical grid, and destroys jobs.” US ENERGY FUTURE ‘UNDER THREAT’ FROM BIDEN POLICIES: GOP REPORT Echoing Gianforte, Daines insisted President Biden and his administration are “dead set” on destroying energy-based communities in parts of Montana. “Joe Biden is doing everything he can to kill Colstrip and made-in-Montana energy – from the EPA’s new MATS and Clean Power Plan 2.0 rules that directly threaten Colstrip Power Plant, to prohibiting all new coal leasing in eastern Montana that threaten the Rosebud coal mine,” Daines said. “This administration is dead set on shuttering the Colstrip community. I will be fighting each day against the radical left and Biden’s anti-energy agenda.” The duo’s roundtable discussion, which is set to begin at 1:30 p.m. MST, comes amid the Biden administration’s recently released Resource Management Plan Amendment, which prohibits future coal leases in eastern Montana through 2038. The governor’s office said the regulations are the latest in a series that the Biden administration is using to “target Colstrip and coal-generated power.” Colstrip generating units, according to the governor’s office, account for a significant percentage of Montana’s baseload electricity supply and consistently rank among the lowest-cost dispatchable power plants in the western U.S. The Rosebud coal mine, which spans 25,000 acres, produces roughly six to eight million tons of coal to supply the adjacent four coal-fired generating units that provide enough energy to power nearly 500,000 homes. The Biden administration’s efforts would also have a negative impact on jobs in the state as Colstrip employs around 360 Montanans at the power station and another 370 at the Rosebud Mine. The new rules released by the Environmental Protection Agency threaten to force the early retirement of generating units at the facility, costing Montana consumers over $1.1 billion over the next 20 years, according to Northwestern Energy’s Integrated Resource Plan. AOC CLAIMS TRUMP’S RE-ELECTION WOULD MEAN HIGHER GAS PRICES AS FUEL COSTS HIT RECORD HIGH UNDER BIDEN Gianforte is expected to call the new regulations an “unacceptable burden on Montanans” during the Tuesday evening discussion and point out that they are being implemented as “historic inflation and skyrocketing mortgage rates stretch paychecks thinner and thinner.” Prices continued to rise in April, according to the Consumer Price Index released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Since Biden took office in January 2021, the energy index has risen more than 30%. “Energy isn’t a luxury in Montana, it’s a necessity. Every year, harsh winter conditions remind us of the need for an all-of-the-above energy approach and reliable, baseload power,” Gianforte said. Earlier this month, when the Biden administration’s latest regulations were announced, Gianforte said the move is “nothing more than a gift to China and our adversaries and a slap in the face to hardworking Montanans.” “Instead of prioritizing the ideological agenda of the far left, President Biden should prioritize the needs of American consumers and workers,” he said at the time. Last week, Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Responsibility released a report showing how the Biden administration’s energy policies have led to higher gas prices, uncertainty in America’s power sector, confusion about new cars and appliances, and pricey regulatory hurdles that have increased costs for American consumers and businesses.
Trump previews closing arguments in ‘sham trial’: ‘Very dangerous day for America’
Former President Trump said Tuesday it is a “very dangerous day for America” ahead of closing arguments in the NY v. Trump case. “This is a very dangerous day for America. It’s a very sad day,” Trump said in remarks to the media before heading into the Manhattan courtroom Tuesday morning. “Make no mistake about it, I’m here because of crooked Joe Biden. The worst president in the history of our country, he’s destroying our country. This country is being destroyed rapidly, not slowly, rapidly. On the borders, on energy, on inflation, on everything you can name, Afghanistan removal. Everything about what he’s done, he’s destroying our country, and he’s also destroying it with weaponization. And this is purely is weaponization,” Trump added in his remarks. Trump, who has been flanked by a handful of allies in recent days during court proceedings, was joined by his children Tiffany, Eric, and Don Jr. on Tuesday. Trump has repeatedly slammed the trial as a “sham” promoted by the Biden administration to politically injure him ahead of the 2024 election. LIVE UPDATES: CLOSING ARGUMENTS TO BEGIN IN NY V. TRUMP TRIAL AS JUDGE CONSIDERS DISMISSAL REQUEST Trump is facing the end of the trial in Manhattan, where he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors are working to prove that Trump falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to former pornographic star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to quiet her claims of an alleged affair with Trump in 2006. Trump has pleaded not guilty and has repeatedly denied any affair with Daniels. NY V. TRUMP: CLOSING ARGUMENTS TO BEGIN AS MERCHAN SKIRTS DECISION ON MOTION TO DISMISS Presiding Judge Juan Merchan said last week he anticipates closing arguments to last all of Tuesday and perhaps part of Wednesday. Merchan, this week, will also deliver his instructions to the jury, which he anticipates will last roughly an hour. Trump has been required to sit in the courtroom throughout the trial and is also required in the courtroom during deliberations in the event of any jury notes. Closing arguments follow Trump’s defense team motioning for dismissal of the case following the prosecution team’s star witness, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen. Trump attorney Todd Blanche said last week there were “absolutely no false business filings” and no evidence of connection to Trump. NY V. TRUMP: HOUSE GOP LAWMAKER URGES MERCHAN TO DISMISS CASE OVER ‘FATAL FLAWS,’ REFER TO FEC “How on Earth is keeping a false story from voters criminal?” Blanche said. “There is no way the court should let this case go to the jury with Mr. Cohen’s testimony,” he added. Cohen testified before the court he personally paid Daniels $130,000 by taking out a home equity line of credit, which he said he concealed from his wife. Cohen also admitted in testimony that he stole thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization. NY V. TRUMP: DEFENSE RESTS WITHOUT CALLING FORMER PRESIDENT TO TESTIFY; MOTION TO DISMISS PENDING Cohen said that he stole $30,000 from the Trump Organization by overstating how much he paid a tech company that provided services for the company. Cohen said he told former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg in 2017 that he had paid tech firm Red Finch $50,000 out of his own pocket, and that he still needed to be reimbursed for the payment. Weisselberg and Cohen in 2017 calculated a $420,000 repayment to Cohen for his $130,000 payment to Daniels, as well as the alleged $50,000 payment to Red Finch. “You stole from the Trump Org, right?” Blanche asked Cohen last Wednesday morning. “Yes, sir,” Cohen responded. STEFANIK FILES ETHICS COMPLAINT AGAINST TRUMP TRIAL JUDGE, CITES DAUGHTER’S WORK FOR GROUP PROMOTING DEMS On Tuesday morning, Trump also said his team had an election expert who was set to testify last week and show that “everything was perfect” referring to former FEC Commissioner Bradley Smith. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is working to prove to the jury that not only did Trump falsify the business records related to payments to Daniels, but that he did so in furtherance of another crime: conspiracy to promote or prevent election. The election expert did not testify after Merchan ruled that Smith could speak before the court on the basic definitions surrounding election law but not expand beyond that scope. “And we had a lot of other people. I can give you a list of 40 people that would say the exact same thing as these people said,” Trump said Tuesday before continuing it is a “dangerous day for America.”
Trump attorneys allege ‘unconstitutional censorship’ in special counsel gag order request
Former President Trump’s attorneys on Monday accused the government of “unconstitutional censorship” in response to federal prosecutors asking the judge in his classified documents case for a gag order. In a court filing, Trump’s outraged legal team asked a federal judge in Florida to sanction and fine prosecutors from special counsel Jack Smith’s office, which requested that the court modify Trump’s conditions of release and prohibit him from making future statements about FBI agents who executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 22, 2023. “President Donald J. Trump respectfully submits this procedural opposition to the May 24, 2024 filing by the Special Counsel’s Office, which improperly asks the Court to impose an unconstitutional gag order on President Trump, as a condition of his pretrial release, based on vague and unsupported assertions about threats to law enforcement personnel whose names have been redacted from public filings and whose identities are already subject to a protective order,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in the filing. “… [T]he Court should strike the Motion, make civil contempt findings as to all government attorneys who participated in the decision to file the Motion without meaningful conferral, and impose sanctions after holding an evidentiary hearing regarding the purpose and intent behind the Office’s decision to willfully disregard required procedures,” the defense attorneys wrote. JACK SMITH ASKS JUDGE TO RESTRICT TRUMP STATEMENTS AFTER ‘INFLAMMATORY’ REMARKS ABOUT FBI RAID On Friday evening, Smith’s team filed a motion to U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, who is presiding over the classified documents case, and requested that she prohibit Trump from making statements that “pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.” Trump claimed in a campaign appeal that FBI agents were “locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.” Prosecutors said Trump’s “grossly misleading” claims cited a standard FBI form that details limiting the use of force to emergency situations. The same form was used when federal agents searched for documents at President Biden’s home. READ TRUMP’S MOTION BELOW – APP USERS, CLICK HERE: “Trump, however, has distorted the standard inclusion of the policy limiting the use of deadly force by mischaracterizing it as a claim that the FBI “WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT ME,” was “just itching to do the unthinkable,” and was “locked & loaded ready to take me out,’” Smith’s team wrote in their filing. The prosecution argued that Trump’s “deceptive and inflammatory claims” exposed federal agents to “unjustified and unacceptable risks,” inviting “threats and harassment” against investigators that would “undermine the integrity of the proceedings as well as jeopardize the safety of law enforcement.” NEW REVELATIONS IN FLORIDA DOCUMENTS TRIAL PUT TRUMP ON OFFENSE AGAINST ‘DERANGED’ SPECIAL COUNSEL Trump’s attorneys countered Tuesday that Smith’s request was “an extraordinary, unprecedented and unconstitutional censorship application” that “unjustly targets President Trump’s campaign speech while he is the leading candidate for the presidency.” They requested that Judge Cannon hold a hearing to determine Smith’s “motives and purpose” in filing the gag order motion “on the Friday preceding a holiday weekend,” pointing out that Trump’s defense summation is scheduled to begin in Manhattan on Tuesday for his New York criminal case. The timing, they insisted, violated rules governing how motions are filed and was unprofessional. The 15-page motion also referred to Smith and his team as “the Thought Police” and accused prosecutors of being “biased and reckless” and “driven by political animus against President Trump.” GOP SLAMS ‘WEAPONIZATION’ OF DOJ AFTER TRUMP’S MAR-A-LAGO RAIDED BY FBI; DEMS CALL IT ‘ACCOUNTABILITY’ Trump has repeatedly claimed the indictment Smith filed against him last June was part of a politically-motivated “witch hunt” designed to keep him from winning the presidency. Smith’s team has vehemently denied the allegations and asserted their motives are pure, intended to support the rule of law. Trump is accused of keeping at his estate classified documents that he took with him after he left the White House in 2021, and then obstructing the government’s efforts to retrieve them. The FBI agents seized 33 boxes of documents in the raid. The investigation is overseen by Smith, who Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed. Smith has charged Trump with 40 felony counts, including violating the Espionage Act, making false statements to investigators and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Trump has pleaded not guilty. The case is not expected to go to trial until after the November election. Fox News’ David Spunt and Fox News Digital’s Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.
Biden admin scrambles to close loophole that allowed migrant on terror watchlist to go free
The Biden administration is looking to close a loophole in immigration proceedings that helped allow a man on the terrorist watchlist to roam free in the U.S. for over a year. A memo penned by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas earlier this month overrides a 2004 directive that made it more difficult for officials prosecuting immigration cases to share classified information, according to a report from NBC News. The change comes after an NBC News report from April that detailed the story of 48-year-old Mohammad Kharwin, an Afghan migrant who was on the terrorist watchlist but released on bond by an immigration judge in Texas. AFGHAN MAN ON TERROR WATCHLIST APPREHENDED BY ICE Kharwin, who the FBI’s terror watchlist indicated is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the U.S., was initially caught crossing the border in 2023 but was released from custody because Border Patrol agents did not have biometric information tying him to the terrorist watchlist. He was able to live in the U.S. for over a year before being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) earlier this year, but he was released once again after ICE prosecutors withheld evidence Kharwin was on the terror watchlist because the information was classified. Instead, prosecutors attempted to argue that the Afghan national was a flight risk, the report notes. Kharwin was scheduled to appear in court for an asylum hearing in 2025, officials told NBC News, but he was arrested again in San Antonio shortly after the publishing of the NBC News report. BIDEN ADMIN REFUSES TO REVEAL TERROR WATCHLIST NATIONALITIES AS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION EXPLODES ON HIS WATCH The 2004 policy that was recently overridden by Mayorkas allowed classified information to be used in immigration proceedings “as a last resort,” with prosecutors attempting to present a deportation case having to gain approval from the Department of Homeland Security secretary in order to share such information. Under the new policy, employees of agencies such as ICE or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will only have to go to the head of their individual agency to gain approval to share classified information, while DHS officials told NBC News that the administration is considering steps that would allow for more employees to obtain security clearances. “Over the last five years, we have seen a significant shift in the way transnational criminal organizations are becoming increasingly involved in the movement of people in our hemisphere, most concerningly people from the Eastern hemisphere,” a DHS official told NBC News. “We have seen the terrorist threat landscape become much more complex over the last few years than it was right after 9/11.” Neither DHS nor the White House immediately responded to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
Israeli spy chief ‘threatened’ ICC prosecutor over war crimes case: Report
Report claims ex-Mossad chief tried to pressure Fatou Bensouda into abandoning a 2021 war crimes probe. The former chief of Mossad threatened the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) chief prosecutor to try to get a 2021 war crimes probe dropped, a report has claimed. Yossi Cohen, ex-chief of Israel’s Mossad foreign intelligence agency, threatened the ICC’s former prosecutor Fatou Bensouda in a series of secret meetings, an investigation by The Guardian newspaper reported on Tuesday. The report tallies with others suggesting Israel and its main Western allies have sought to pressure international justice bodies. Cohen’s covert contact to pressure Bensouda took place in the years leading up to her decision to open a formal probe into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in occupied Palestinian territories, the report said, citing numerous anonymous sources. Last week, Bensouda’s successor, Karim Khan, applied for an arrest warrant for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu based on that probe launched in 2021. Khan announced his office had “reasonable grounds” to believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant bear “criminal responsibility” for “war crimes and crimes against humanity”. One individual briefed on Cohen’s activities said he had used “despicable tactics” against Bensouda as part of an ultimately unsuccessful effort to intimidate and influence her. According to accounts shared with ICC officials, he is alleged to have told her: “You should help us and let us take care of you. You don’t want to be getting into things that could compromise your security or that of your family.” Khan also applied for arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders – Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri (also known as Deif) and Ismail Haniyeh – for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Israel is not a member of the ICC and does not recognise its jurisdiction. Israel has also faced accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the highest United Nations court, which, like the ICC, is based in The Hague. Experts believe ICC indictments further undermine the legitimacy of Israel’s war on Gaza and complicate its exceptional relationship with European allies who are members of the Rome Statute. But the US, the key ally of Israel, is believed to be shielding the Israeli government from the consequences of its international law violations. US President Joe Biden called Khan’s move against the Israeli officials “outrageous”. Secretary of State Antony Blinken suggested that the White House would be willing to work with members of Congress on legislation to penalise the international tribunal. Several US lawmakers have also urged Washington to impose sanctions against the ICC after the court’s request for the arrest warrants. Palestinians fear that Israel and the US will pressure ICC judges into rejecting Khan’s requests. Adblock test (Why?)
Taiwan’s parliament passes bill pushing pro-China changes
Thousands protested outside Taiwan’s parliament after reforms seen as reducing the president’s power were passed. Taiwan’s opposition-controlled legislature has ignored large protests to push through legislative changes seen as favourable to China. The controversial bill, adopted on Tuesday, diminishes the power of President William Lai Ching-te, who was sworn in last week, and his pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government. The reforms, pushed through by the opposition nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) and smaller partner Taiwan People’s Party, give lawmakers the power to require the president to give regular reports to parliament and answer lawmakers’ questions. It also criminalises contempt of parliament by government officials. The bill also hands the legislature increased control of budgets, including defence spending. The legislature will also be able to demand that the military, private companies or individuals disclose information deemed relevant by parliamentarians. The nationalist opposition parties officially back reunification with China, from which Taiwan separated during a civil war in 1949. They took control of the legislature with a single-seat majority after elections in January, while the presidency went to Lai. A supporter of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) holds a sunflower and a poster with the slogan, ‘My Taiwan. I Protect’, in front of the legislative building in Taipei, Taiwan, May 28, 2024 [Chiang Ying-ying/AP Photo] Rubbish bags and paper planes Thousands of people gathered outside the legislature to protest the changes. The legislative chamber was festooned with banners promoting both sides in the dispute while arguments on the floor broke into shouting and pushing matches. DPP legislators accused deputies from the KMT and the minority Taiwan People’s Party of undermining Taiwan’s democracy by expanding the legislature’s oversight of the executive branch. The DPP says the reforms were forced through without proper consultation and their content is either vague or an overreach of power. Lawmakers from the governing party threw rubbish bags and paper planes at their opposition counterparts as the vote on the bill went through. “You can seize parliament, but you cannot seize public opinion,” DPP parliament leader Ker Chien-ming said in an address to the chamber, adding that Beijing had influenced Taiwanese politics. Opposition lawmakers, holding sun-shaped balloons, shouted: “Let sunlight into parliament.” China sends planes and ships near Taiwan on a daily basis in a campaign aimed at wearing down Taiwanese opposition to unification and at deteriorating its defences, which are strongly backed by the United States, despite a lack of formal diplomatic ties. On Tuesday, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said three Chinese warplanes and 11 naval and coastguard ships were detected in the past 24 hours – down from the 21 aircraft and 15 ships it reported on Monday.

South Africa elections 2024: Key issues by the numbers
South Africa will go to the polls on May 29 for the most unpredictable election in the country’s 30 years of democratic rule. The governing African National Congress (ANC) is projected to lose its parliament majority for the first time, possibly paving the way for the country’s first coalition government. With voter discontent high, leading opposition parties, including the Democratic Alliance (DA), the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), and newcomer umKhonto we Sizwe (MK) have put pressure on the ANC in online campaigns and countrywide rallies, promising sweeping reforms in hopes of swaying some 28 million registered voters to their side. Young people constitute a key demographic, making up a bulk of the electorate. They are also the most removed from South Africa’s apartheid past, to which the ANC’s legacy as the party of liberation is closely tied. Voting will be held across the country’s nine provinces, where people will cast ballots for national and provincial governments. Here are the key issues that are top of mind for the majority of voters: Jobs: One in three South Africans unemployed The country has the highest unemployment rate in the world. For young people who have diplomas but find their education of no use, unemployment is the biggest issue on the ballot. Analysts say poor industrialisation in the decades of ANC rule means Africa’s most advanced economy has failed to create jobs for its bulging youth population. General unemployment rates rose slightly late last year from 31 percent to 33 percent during the first quarter of 2024. The problem is particularly poignant among the country’s youth, aged 15-34. Unemployment in this group stands at 45.5 percent, higher than the national average. By province, the Eastern Cape – known for being Nelson Mandela’s homeland, housing the city of Gqeberha, previously named Port Elizabeth, and being the poorest of all nine provinces – has the highest levels of unemployment at 42.4 percent. The North West province trails closely at 40.5 percent and the Free State at 38 percent. On the other hand, the Western Cape, the home turf of the opposition DA party and where the city of Cape Town is located, has the country’s lowest unemployment levels at 21.4 percent, followed by the Northern Cape at 28.3 percent and KwaZulu-Natal at 29.9 percent. Education and employment: Lingering inequalities Historical inequalities continue to rack South Africa’s education sector, creating negative feedback in the employment sector. Although schools were desegregated before the end of apartheid, Black-majority communities still have largely underfunded public schools with inadequate amenities like libraries and laboratories. Some do not have basic facilities like the internet and lack qualified teachers. On the whole, the Black population has higher numbers of people who do not have any kind of education. Among white South Africans, however, a higher percentage are more likely to have attained a tertiary level education – three times the numbers seen in Black people, Indians, or mixed or multiracial communities. Researchers say the lower levels of tertiary qualification in general are connected to lower skill levels and to the type of jobs people are qualified for. While 9.6 percent of people with a graduate degree are unemployed, the number more than quadruples for those who did not complete high school. Other findings also point to the fact that school curriculums are not preparing young people for the job market as they are not aligned with employer needs. The results are a glaring skills and job mismatch: a 2019 report from the Boston Consulting Group, for one, found that there is a 50 percent mismatch between skills demanded and supplied in South Africa, contributing to a low-productivity workforce. Crime: Rising and worsening High levels of poverty, unemployment and inequality have led to increased violent crime in South Africa, worsened by the rise of organised criminal groups. According to the South African Police Service’s annual crime report (PDF), during the 2022-23 financial year, 1.8 million counts of serious and violent crimes were reported across the country, an increase of 7.7 percent from the year before. On average, 75 people are murdered every day, an increase of some 60 percent over the past 10 years. Carjackings have more than doubled over the past 10 years from an average of 31 incidents per day in 2013 to 62 cases reported in 2023. On the flip side, common robbery reports dipped by 12 percent over the past 10 years and sexual offence crimes, including rape and sexual assault, decreased by 5.6 percent over the same period. Housing: Millions still live in shacks Housing is a sore topic in South Africa, where the minority white population has traditionally owned the majority of the land. It is one of the most visible examples of the stark mismatches that contribute to South Africa being labelled as one of the world’s most unequal countries. Although approximately eight in 10 South Africans (83.2 percent) live in formal homes, at least 2.2 million people still live in informal dwellings, including shacks built out of corrugated iron sheets or other scrap material. Black South Africans, who make up about 80 percent of the population, are disproportionately affected. Under apartheid rule, Black people were dispossessed of their land and forced into “bantustans” (homelands) or crowded slums and hostels, where many died of diseases from the poor conditions there. Although Black people are no longer legally bound to live in such conditions, many remain stuck in inadequate and informal housing. Land reform was a major principle of the ANC in the fight to end apartheid, but efforts to redistribute land and provide affordable housing to the millions in need continue to fall short three decades later. Basic services: Unequal access South Africa is generally water-stressed. The country is highly susceptible to drought from low-average rainfall and a hot climate. Add to that, poor management and unequal distribution of water have meant that access to this crucial resource also varies according to race. More than 80 percent of South African homes have access to piped water but cuts are regular in some parts, like Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. Across the country, it
