Rep. Moulton's bio and statement on birthright citizenship could not be posted properly on the last blog entry, perhaps because of excessive heat, so here it is now.

For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed a simple promise: if you are born in the United States, you are an American citizen. Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a victory for the Constitution and for every American who believes that rights in this country still matter. Birthright citizenship is not a loophole. It is a constitutional right.

Trump responds to eye-popping report on crypto profits while president

President Trump on Wednesday distanced himself from his recently released personal financial disclosures showing more than $1 billion in revenue from cryptocurrency sales and other ventures.

Trump's personal financial disclosures released on Tuesday showed he raked in more than $500 million from the cryptocurrency venture he co-founded with his sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., who were seen with the president as he took questions on Wednesday.

revenue

So he can certainly afford to pay the amount that Carroll has won in her lawsuit. 

• Trump requested a delay in payment and Carroll countered with a request for an expedited payout with interest.
• President Donald Trump's lawyers have requested a delay in the $5.8 million he has been ordered to pay writer E. Jean Carroll. The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Monday, June 29, that it would not be hearing Trump's appeal of a 2023 jury verdict in New York that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, and ordered him to pay her the damages, which have been held in a court-controlled bank account in the years since. The court did not release an explanation or statement on its decision not to take up the case.Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, wrote in a court filing on Tuesday, June 30, that her client "does not consent" to Trump's delay in payment. She also wrote that Carroll, 82, is due an additional $779,783 in interest. Kaplan requested that the New York federal court "direct [Trump] to respond to the motion within seven days, or by July 7, 2026, rather than the usual fourteen days."

• Trump should be glad he didn't go to prison for raping her. Why delay paying her when, obviously, he can afford to pay up?

Of course, that's not going to happen, probably never, but certainly not in my lifetime.

Melania from Slovenia found that her visitor's visa had expired, but no worries, as she then got herself pregnant by Donald Trump and they are still married! And their son Barron has birthright citizenship.

Donald Trump needs to finally pay up. He should be glad that he beat the rape charge, even though it appears that he 

did actually rape Carroll, but he managed to beat that charge only with the help of some very clever and highly paid lawyers. Otherwise he would probably not be our president today. 

Here's another recent Trump loss. What's happening right now? He thought a US president was like a king!

Reuters, As deportation protections end, Haitians confront fear and uncertainty 

After my several missions to Haiti and seeing what is happening there now, it seems that back when I was a regular visitor, Haiti was in its golden age. The local art work was spectacular and I had collected many examples, including lovely beaded tapestries and wood carvings but couldn't bring them all with me to West Virginia.

I often stayed at the Hotel Oloffson in

Port-au-Prince.

Google says: Built in the late 19th century, this iconic "gingerbread" style building inspired the fictional Hotel Trianon in Graham Greene's 1966 novel The Comedians. Tragically, the hotel was burned to the ground by gangs in July 2025 amid escalating violence in the capital.

A number of Republicans have signed on to a resolution that would order the

 

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to designate Haiti for TPS (Temprary Proteted Status) 

 until Jan. 20, 2029.  The bill  

 currently awaits action in the Senate.

 

Rep. Seth Moulton (MA-06): Introduced the TPS Relief Act to directly overturn the Supreme Court ruling and restore judicial review of TPS termination decisions to protect roughly 1.3 million. For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed a simple promise: if you are born in the United States, you are

an American citizen. Today’s SCOTUS ruliing victory for the Constitution and for every American who believes that rights in this country still matter.

I'm giving up now on this post because the blog dieties are not cooperating, forcing everything into vertical
