The Louisiana House of Representatives last week, by a vote of 74-23, passed State Senator Valarie Hodges’ bill that will allow police to arrest illegal aliens.
Per NOLA, “SB 388 needs one procedural approval from the Senate, which passed the proposal before the House amended it.”
“If SB 388 takes effect, violating the statute would be punishable by up to one year in prison and a $4,000 fine for a first offense, with harsher penalties for a second offense.”
The Governor is reportedly likely going to sign this bill into law.
A similar proposal was brought to the desk of Katie Hobbs earlier this year, and she vetoed the bill calling it “Anti-immigrant legislation.”
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs Vetoes Bill That Would Allow Police to Arrest Illegal Border Crossers
Louisiana is slated to join Texas and Iowa in putting American citizens before illegal immigrants who have no right to be in this Country.
KRVS reports,
Lawmakers in the House passed a bill that would make it a crime to be in Louisiana if a person entered the country illegally and allow state law enforcement to detain them. It carries penalties up to two years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
It’s similar to a controversial Texas law that’s being challenged in court for undermining the federal government’s authority on immigration law.
The proposal also allows Louisiana to form a compact with Texas to secure the U.S. southern border.
Gov. Jeff Landry already approved sending Louisiana National Guard troops to Texas earlier this year to stop immigrants from crossing the border illegally.

Legendary NBA player and broadcaster Bill Walton has passed away.
He was 71.
Walton passed away after a battle with cancer.
“Bill Walton was truly one of a kind,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “As a Hall of Fame player, he redefined the center position. His unique all-around skills made him a dominant force at UCLA and led to an NBA regular-season and Finals MVP, two NBA championships and a spot on the NBA’s 50th and 75th Anniversary Teams. Bill then translated his infectious enthusiasm and love for the game to broadcasting, where he delivered insightful and colorful commentary which entertained generations of basketball fans. But what I will remember most about him was his zest for life. He was a regular presence at league events – always upbeat, smiling ear to ear and looking to share his wisdom and warmth. I treasured our close friendship, envied his boundless energy and admired the time he took with every person he encountered.
“As a cherished member of the NBA family for 50 years, Bill will be deeply missed by all those who came to know and love him,” Silver continued. “My heartfelt condolences to Bill’s wife, Lori; his sons, Adam, Nate, Luke and Chris; and his many friends and colleagues.”

Excerpt from Fox News:
Bill Walton, the Hall of Fame center and two-time NBA champion, is dead at 71 years old after a battle with cancer, the NBA announced Monday.
As Silver mentions in his statement, Walton redefined the way centers played the game of basketball, as he dominated at UCLA under legendary head coach John Wooden. Walton, who could pass as well as score, which wasn’t common for a center at the time, won three straight national player of the year awards from 1972-74 before becoming the first overall pick in the 1974 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.
Walton’s impact on an NBA court was quick, as the Trail Blazers would go on to win the 1978 NBA Championship, where Walton was named Finals MVP and the league MVP for that season.
Walton dealt with foot injuries throughout his time in the Association, as he missed four separate seasons because of it, including back-to-back from 1980-82. He also missed the 1978-79 season after winning MVP.
Following his time in Portland, Walton moved on to the then-San Diego Clippers, where he spent four seasons including his final one when they moved to Los Angeles. He joined the Celtics for the 1985-86 season, helping them to the NBA title that year, where he was named the league’s Sixth Man of the Year as well.
Bill Walton’s son, Luke Walton played for the Los Angeles Lakers and won back-to-back NBA finals in 2009 and 2010.
So many good Bill Walton memories but none can top the time he devoured a cupcake with a lit candle

Against the backdrop of continuing Russian advances, some Western leaders have started to advocate missile strikes inside Russian territory, from NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg up to chief warmonger, former British Premier Boris Johnson:
PUSHING WW3: Former British Premier Boris Johnson Praises Ukrainian Azov Nazis as ‘Heroes’, Calls for Long Range Weapons To Attack Inside Russian Territory
Now, some European neighboring countries have started preparing to introduce their troops into Ukraine in case of strategic Russian advances in Eastern Ukraine.
The Baltic states and Poland have warned Germany that they could send troops to Ukraine if the situation gets noticeably worse for Kiev due to its allies being reluctant to supply it with weapons.
Reported by Der Spiegel (behind paywall):
“If the Russians succeed in a strategic breakthrough in eastern Ukraine because the West is reluctant to help Kiev, the situation could escalate sharply. In this case, the Baltic countries and Poland will not wait for Russian troops to deploy on their borders, Baltic politicians warn, they will send troops themselves to Ukraine.”
That would make NATO a party to the conflict—exactly what German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and US President Joe Biden fear.
Scholz has once again repeated that he opposes revising the rules giving Kiev the opportunity to strike them on Russian territory.
Berlin does not want the conflict to escalate into a conflict between Russia and NATO.
Some incidents are already taking place. Simplicius the Thinker reported on Russian troops dismantling navigation buoys on the Narva River between Russia and Estonia:
“In the video, Russian border guards dismantle navigation buoys installed by Estonia.
The line of control on the Narva River is reviewed every spring as the course of the river changes over time.
Before the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine, the buoys were mainly installed by mutual agreement between Russia and Estonia, but since 2023 the Russian side no longer agrees with Estonia’s position on the location of the buoys, the Estonian department reports.”
At the same time, Russia proposed moving Russia’s border within the Baltic Sea:
“‘Russian Ministry of Defense proposed moving Russia’s border with Lithuania and Finland in the Baltic Sea.
Russia believes that the current border was approved in 1985 and does not correspond to the current ‘geographical situation’.”
Estonian paper Yle reported on the reaction of President Alar Karis:
“According to the president, the most important thing right now is stopping the Russian war machine.
‘We will do everything we can to bring Russia and Putin to their knees. Then serious discussions can begin to end the war in Ukraine’.
[…] Finland has closed its eastern border, but the border between Estonia and Russia is still open despite the incidents.
According to Alar Karis, the border is open, among other things, because people on the surface of the border have relatives on the other side. The border will be closed if necessary.”

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson, 57, suffered a medical emergency on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday ahead of his fight with Jake Paul.
Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 27, will face off on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
“Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” a source told In Touch Weekly. “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens.“
Mike Tyson’s rep told the New York Post that the boxer suffered from an ulcer flare-up.
“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” Tyson’s representatives told The New York Post. “He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson faced off earlier this month.

Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)
Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) announced last week that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave a $50 million grant to a “climate justice” group that, according to Capito, is involved in pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic activities.
Through funding from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the EPA awarded the grant to the Climate Justice Alliance (CJA).
During remarks about the funding, Capito shared images she claims to have found on CJA’s website and social media showing “the bulldozer that went through the fence when Hamas attacked Israel on October the 7th.”
Capito also shared that the organization showcases antisemitic, anti-Israel, and pro-Hamas imagery on its social media.

The Post Millenial reports:
She continued, “If you dig deeper they want to defund the police, defund the military, either them—or their affiliates—want to have very radical, drastic initiatives that I think are anti-American, and they certainly are anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.” The group explains the link between climate and the war in Israel by saying that they use “an anti-colonial framework to show how Climate Justice and the liberation of Palestine are connected.” They claim that “colonized places” are at specific risk of exacerbated problems due to the “climate crisis.” They claim that it is through the “restoring of indigenous sovereignty” the “climate crisis” can be improved.
Capito then asked if the Climate Justice Alliance would actually be cleaning up the environment, or funding terrorism adding that the Environment and Public Works Committee would continue to follow the money to find out where American taxpayer dollars are going.
Climate Justice Alliance states that their intentions for how to use the money are “to serve as a bridge, model, and catalyst among organizations nationwide to confront the legacy of environmental harms; strengthen the environmental justice movement; mitigate the effects of climate change; support frontline communities in enacting their localized visions for thriving communities; and pilot co-governance between the EPA and frontline communities hit first and worst by environmental injustice and the climate crisis.”
Time and again when @EPA officials come before our committee, they say “if only we had more money, more resources, more staff.”
This is what they’re spending it on?
Many of us warned of the waste, fraud, and abuse.
