Liberals Insisted the Supreme Court Was ‘Plotting’ To Abolish Gay Marriage. They Were Wrong, Obviously.
Democrats and their journalist allies spent the last several years insisting the U.S. Supreme Court was hell-bent on making gay marriage illegal again. Many warned if Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in 2024, the Court would be eager to overturn its 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which established a nationwide right to gay marriage.

Liberals spew hatred at NFL player for pointing at Trump after touchdown and doing his dance: ‘Yousa hoe a** n***a’
A Detroit Lions football player was assailed online after doing the “Trump dance” at a game Sunday after he scored a touchdown.
The Washington Commanders were playing the Lions at the stadium in Maryland with President Donald Trump in attendance when wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown appeared to point up to him after his touchdown.
‘Amon-Ra St. Brown did the trump dance? F**k his b***h a** too, hope the city turn on his lame a**.’
The receiver then mimed the president’s dance, and two other players joined him in the celebration.
The president later posted a video of St. Brown’s dance on his Truth Social account, where it garnered more than 3,000 ReTruths.
That prompted many to express their hatred and criticism against St. Brown.
“Amon Ra St Brown you are a f**king disgrace,” reads one missive that garnered over 9,000 likes on X.
“Amon-Ra St. Brown did the trump dance? F**k his bitch ass too, hope the city turn on his lame ass @amonra_stbrown Yousa hoe ass n***a, Detroit dont rock with that s**t,” another post reads.
“Hey @amonra_stbrown f**k you, stop supporting an orange racist, sexist, felon currently stopping people from receiving food, illegally arresting with ICE, & holding government hostage. Hear the crowd boo him out of the building? READ THE ROOM, DIPS**T!” another detractor said.
“Doing this to kiss the ass of the man withholding food from 42 million people. How disappointing. How disgraceful,” another account said.
“Lost a lot of respect for @amonra_stbrown today after he acknowledged the pedo in chief. But hey, he makes his millions right? So he forgave to worry about all the people negatively affected by the republican shut down,” said the account for the Montgomery County Warriors Baseball nonprofit.
Others praised St. Brown for ignoring cancel culture.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock opined on the incident in a statement to Blaze News.
“Liberals spend all of their time policing the behavior and thoughts of black people. NFL players do not have a problem with Donald Trump or the Republican Party. Black men in general do not have a problem with Donald Trump or the Republican Party. They are forced to pretend they have a problem with Trump to keep peace at home with their wives and mothers and get the financial rewards of the entertainment industry. It’s a charade that needs to stop,” Whitlock said.

St. Brown soon afterward was punched by a Commanders player who was then suspended by the league, leading many to believe that the Trump dance had something to do with the incident.
The Commanders went on to lose that game by a score of 22 to 44.

Border Patrol agents dodge bullets and bricks from leftist rioters in sanctuary city: DHS
Leftist activists in Chicago engaged in a series of violent attacks against federal agents who were conducting immigration enforcement operations over the weekend, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday in a neighborhood of Little Village, a “hostile crowd” allegedly boxed Border Patrol agents into a street and alleyway.
‘This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of violence and obstruction.’
An individual driving a black Jeep Wrangler fired multiple rounds at the agents while they were apprehending a suspect, the DHS reported. The shooter fled the scene.
Some in the crowd reportedly hurled objects, including bricks, at the officers’ vehicles.
The DHS credited the Chicago Police Department for helping agents evacuate the area.
As agents left the scene, another driver allegedly attempted to ram into the agents’ convoy, but the attack was thwarted when federal officials deployed a controlled tire deflation device.

The DHS explained that the convoy proceeded to an FBI facility, where agents encountered two additional drivers who tried to “impede operations.” When agents issued a warning, one of the drivers allegedly attempted to ram the convoy. That driver was arrested.
“Border Patrol reached the FBI facility when rioters attempted to breach security there. Chicago Police responded to help secure the perimeter,” the DHS stated.
Border Patrol agents left the FBI facility but again encountered a group of protesters who were attempting to obstruct traffic by lying in the street. Agents deployed crowd-control measures after the activists began throwing objects, the DHS said.
Once the road was cleared, agents proceeded to a Sam’s Club parking lot where they were allegedly “stalked and followed” by protesters. Another driver allegedly rammed a federal vehicle. Officials arrested three individuals for assault.
A fourth vehicle ramming occurred when agents attempted to leave the grocery store parking lot. The suspect driving the vehicle fled the scene and remains at large.
While no Border Patrol agents were harmed, photographs shared by the DHS show damage to two federal vehicles.
The series of attacks resulted in the arrest of eight U.S. citizens and one illegal alien.

The DHS blamed the incidents on “sanctuary politicians and the media.”
“A criminal illegal alien from Mexico has been arrested in relation to Saturday’s shooting targeting Border Patrol agents in Chicago. The suspect has previously been convicted for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon/vehicle, felony possession of a weapon, and illegal entry,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement provided to Blaze News. “He is currently marked as a violator of the Laken Riley Act, pending charges related to assaulting officers.”
“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of violence and obstruction,” she continued. “Over the past two months, we’ve seen an increase in assaults and obstruction targeting federal law enforcement during operations. These confrontations highlight the dangers our agents face daily and the escalating aggression toward law enforcement.”
The Latin Kings allegedly issued a “shoot on sight” order targeting federal agents, NewsNation reported. It is currently unclear whether Saturday’s shooting is tied to the street gang.

Media LIES, claims ICE raided day care after illegal immigrant arrest
The mainstream media has yet again been caught in a lie about an illegal immigrant, this time by falsely accusing ICE of targeting a day care and traumatizing children.
“Parents want answers after feds arrest day care teacher — ‘It has destroyed us,’ one headline from the Chicago Sun-Times reads. Another reads, “Chicago mayor condemns ICE arrest of daycare teacher in front of children: ‘shocked the conscience.’”
“Was that dramatic enough?” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales asks. “I mean, that sounds really, really dramatic. That sounds terrible,” she continues, before playing a clip of the arrest — which showed the day care teacher resisting while being led outside of the day care and then calming down.
“It turns out,” Gonzales explains, “this woman — not such a good person. … An illegal alien from Colombia, Diana Patricia Santillana Galeano.”
“So, she was here because the Biden administration released her into the United States. And last month, apparently, she reportedly paid for human smugglers to illegally bring her 17-year-old and 16-year-old children into the United States via the southern border,” she continues.
“Not sure if she knew this before — certainly she knows it now — that facilitating human smuggling is actually a crime. It’s not a good thing to enrich the coyotes’ pockets to bring a 16- and 17-year-old on a dangerous journey where there are lots of rapes and crimes that occur along the way,” she adds.
However, while the mainstream media has claimed that ICE targeted the day care specifically to drag the illegal immigrant out, the Department of Homeland Security is telling a much different story.
“ICE law enforcement did NOT target a day care. Officers attempted to conduct a targeted traffic stop of this female illegal alien from Colombia. Officers attempted to pull over this vehicle, which was registered to a female illegal alien, with sirens and emergency lights, but the male driver refused to pull the vehicle over,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
“Law enforcement pursued the vehicle before the assailant sped into a shopping plaza where he and the female passenger fled the vehicle. They ran into a day care and attempted to barricade themselves inside the day care — recklessly endangering the children inside. The illegal alien female was arrested inside a vestibule, not in the school,” she added.
“I personally think that that ire could just be turned onto the illegal and her cohort, who decided to run into the day care to seek refuge when they weren’t already there. They were completely endangering children, bringing all of these children into this situation that they didn’t have to,” Gonzales comments.
“If you want to be mad at someone for that situation,” she continues, “maybe be mad at the illegal who put the day care in that situation in the first place. But that would require critical thinking. The Democrats don’t have that. The mainstream media certainly doesn’t have that.”
“The American people are just done with this,” she adds.
