Instead of sitting on his hands, the Kentucky senator said that he has already filed an amendment to fully end birthright citizenship for those in the country illegally.
In a post on X, Paul stated, “The Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship is disappointing. That’s why I’ve already filed an amendment to end birthright citizenship for those here illegally. I’ll keep fighting to protect the integrity of American citizenship.”

The ruling addressed Executive Order 14160, which President Trump signed on his first day back in office.
The order directed that beginning 30 days later, children born in the United States to mothers who were either unlawfully present or lawfully present on a temporary basis, and to fathers who were not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents at the time of the child’s birth, would not be recognized as U.S. citizens and would not receive federal documentation such as passports or Social Security numbers.
The executive order never took effect because lower courts had blocked it with nationwide injunctions, and the Supreme Court’s decision invalidated it entirely.
Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion, which was joined in the core holding by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred in the judgment but dissented in part on statutory grounds.
Justices Clarence Thomas, who was joined by Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Gorsuch in separate writings, dissented.
The Court held that children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and are therefore citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.
Senator Paul has been a longtime advocate for reforming birthright citizenship policies that reward illegal immigration and create anchor babies.
Paul previously cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 alongside Senator David Vitter.
In late April, Paul announced that he was introducing a constitutional amendment to clarify the meaning of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the Fourteenth Amendment.
The proposed amendment would limit automatic citizenship at birth to cases where at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or national, a lawful permanent resident residing in the United States, or an alien with lawful immigration status who is performing active service in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Paul stated at the time, “Under current interpretations of American law, anyone born on American soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen, regardless of whether the parent was here legally or not. This is wrong and not at all the intent of those who wrote the 14th Amendment. We are a country filled with immigrants, and legal immigration is valuable and should be protected.”
The senator noted that he was offering the amendment in case the Supreme Court failed to address the issue correctly, a prediction that proved accurate with Tuesday’s ruling.
The debate over birthright citizenship centers on the text of the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868 after the Civil War.
Paul argues that the clause was primarily intended to secure citizenship for freed slaves and to overturn the Dred Scott decision, and that the “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” language was understood at the time to exclude children of foreign diplomats, invading armies, and others who did not owe full and complete allegiance to the United States.

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship in a 5-4 decision.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion.
“Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause,” Roberts wrote.
Roberts was joined by Amy Coney Barrett, Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson.
Conservative Supreme Court Justices Alito and Clarence Thomas fumed over the birthright citizenship ruling in blistering dissents.
“The Court today takes the extraordinary step of holding facially unconstitutional the President’s Order excluding from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors and illegal aliens,” Thomas wrote.
“Both the Civil Rights Act and the Citizenship Clause guaranteed citizenship to persons born and domiciled in the United States regardless of their race. Neither guaranteed citizenship to persons who were not domiciled in the United States,” Thomas said.
“Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no allegiance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other authority. They “fought and bled in the same battles,” “gained and gloried in the same victories,” and were “liable to be called upon to defend [America] in time of war” alongside every other citizen,” Justice Thomas added.
Justice Thomas rightfully said that the reconstruction amendments after the Civil War – specifically the 14th Amendment — were to ensure that the children of black slaves would be given citizenship.
“In doing so, the Court adds to the sad history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support,” Thomas added.
Justice Alito called the ruling a “serious mistake” in a sole, blistering dissent.
“This is one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a serious mistake,” Alito wrote.
“Careful analysis of the text of the Fourteenth Amendment and the process that led to its adoption, shows that it does not degrade the concept of United States citizenship in this way. Instead, the Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on only those children who, at birth, owe allegiance solely to this country,” he said.
“United States citizenship is precious. Anyone who has attended a ceremony where citizens are naturalized can see that message on the faces of those who take the citizenship oath. Before saddling the Nation with a medieval rule, we had better be certain the Constitution requires it,” Alito added.
President Trump responded to the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling and called on Congress to immediately act.

The Department of Defense on Monday announced appointees to the Defense Policy Board. Among the new members to the advisory group are two board members of the American Ideas Institute, which publishes The American Conservative, Rachel Bovard and Daniel McCarthy.
The former U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer will chair the board, while former Senator and current chair of the Republican Jewish Coalition Norm Coleman will serve as its vice chair. The venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Blake Masters will also serve on the board, as will the conservative intellectual and government official Michael Anton.
The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft reported that “at least eight of the 15 members of the committee have close ties to the defense industry and foreign governments,” highlighting Coleman’s role as a lobbyist for the government of Saudi Arabia. Responsible Statecraft noted that “the board is not entirely dominated by defense contractor-linked executives and lobbyists,” pointing to the selection of both McCarthy and Bovard.

A particularly dim-witted Anti-American French socialist politician is getting destroyed for giving one of the dumbest takes imaginable for the record heatwave in her country.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, European globalists are whining and refuse to modernize in the name of their favorite fiction: ‘man-made global warming’.
This last week, European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen caught ‘a lot of heat’. Why? She decided that the European Commission HQ in Brussels would shut off air conditioning from floors 0 to 7 during Brussels’ summer heatwave.
This all comes while Europeans who have traveled to America for the World Cup are in absolute AWE that air-conditioning exists while their continent remains stuck in the Middle Ages in this regard.
Such a factoid has earned the snobby European politicians much-deserved mockery, and they are triggered.
Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar, a member of the French Socialist Party, decided to dial the anti-American and anti-AC propaganda to an 11 in an Instagram post on Saturday.
In it, she blamed the UNITED STATES for the record heat in her country, which has so far claimed 48 lives.
“Dear American journalists and social media ‘influencers’: for days, some of you have been criticizing and making fun of Paris because the city does not have A/C in every room. OMG, this is so rich!” she wrote.
As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, you bear a significant amount of responsibility for global warming and the consequences we, in France, are experiencing. Your cities ‘90% air-conditioned’ are not unrelated to this, she added. “In Paris, we take responsibility.”
The replies to Pulvar’s post were absolutely savage as Americans responded with a series of facts. First, France would be speaking German had America not intervened and saved their cowardly you-know-whats during World War II.
Second, Pulvar conveniently ignored the fact that China and India emit far more pollution per capita than the United States. Finally, she also ‘forgot’ that France still relies on America for so much, including defense, while they waste money on unworkable social programs.

The tickets were for Sotomayor and an unspecified number of guests during a private trip she took to Puerto Rico in August.
Sotomayor, the first justice of Puerto Rican descent, noted in her filing that the gift came from the label while she was traveling privately, though she did not specify which concert she attended.
At the time, Bad Bunny was in the middle of a major residency that included more than 30 sold-out shows in San Juan.
These 2025 financial disclosures, which cover outside income, gifts, and other interests for eight of the nine justices, are required annually under federal ethics rules.
Justice Samuel Alito was granted a 90-day extension and has not yet filed.
While Sotomayor’s concert tickets stand out as the most eye-catching gift in the current reports, the filings also show substantial outside earnings for several other justices, primarily from book deals and teaching positions.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reported a $1.18 million book advance from Penguin Random House for her memoir, following nearly $2.07 million in advances from the same publisher the previous year.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett disclosed more than $849,000 in royalties from her 2025 book.
Justice Neil Gorsuch reported over $300,000 in book royalties, and smaller teaching stipends appeared for Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and Justice Clarence Thomas.
Sotomayor also listed nearly $88,100 in royalties from Penguin Random House tied to her children’s books, along with additional promotional spending by the publisher on one of her titles.

Six people were killed Monday in Germany after a Turkish gunman opened fire at a youth welfare facility in Stade, Lower Saxony, in what authorities believe was a custody-related massacre involving his three-month-old daughter.
The attack, according to reports, took place at a mother-and-child facility,, a place meant to protect vulnerable women and children from danger. Instead, it became the scene of one of Germany’s deadliest shootings in recent years.
BREAKING: The perpetrator who shot and killed 6 people was born in Germany but has Turkish roots.
Police say the motive was a custody battle over his baby.

Police said five victims died at the scene, while a sixth died later in hospital. The dead were four women and two men, all employees of the facility or connected youth welfare authorities.
The suspected gunman, a 45-year-old man from the Hanover area, was arrested shortly after the attack. German reporting has described him as German-born with Turkish citizenship or dual nationality.
Yesterday, a Turkish Muslim with Lebanese-Kurdish roots shot 6 dead at a Stade mother-child welfare facility, 4 women and 2 men, all staff.

Authorities believe the shooting grew out of a custody dispute involving the suspect’s infant daughter. A meeting related to the child’s care and custody had reportedly been scheduled for the same day.
The child and her 34-year-old mother were at the facility at the time of the attack. Police said neither was among the victims, and both were brought to safety.
The facility provides supervised accommodation for pregnant women and young mothers with children. According to reporting, the suspect’s daughter had previously been removed from the family and later returned to her mother under conditions requiring them to live at the Stade facility rather than at home in Hanover.
Because the father was reportedly considered problematic, the custody-related meeting was attended by a larger group of staff than usual. Those workers appear to have become the targets of the attack.
Lower Saxony Interior Minister Daniela Behrens described the shooting as an “extremely cold-blooded violent crime” that apparently stemmed from a custody dispute. Investigators have stressed that the exact sequence of events remains under review.
The suspect was known to police, including in connection with alleged threats. But officials said he had not been classified as a violent offender.
He also did not have a firearms license. Investigators are still trying to determine how he obtained the weapon and whether more than one firearm was used.
After the shooting, the suspect allegedly fled in a grey Mercedes. Police intercepted the vehicle and arrested him along with a woman described by investigators as having a close connection to his family.
Witnesses told German media that police opened fire on the fleeing car after it failed to stop. Officers later recovered a weapon from the vehicle.
Two additional people were taken into police measures or questioning as investigators worked to clarify whether anyone helped the suspect before, during or after the attack. A murder commission has taken over the case because of the scale and complexity of the crime.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the killings had shaken the country. “The news from Stade shakes us to the core,” he wrote, adding that people “who wanted to help and protect” had lost their lives or been injured.
Merz expressed sympathy for the victims and their relatives and thanked police officers for their rapid response. But official sympathy is not enough for a country that keeps repeating the same pattern of shock, mourning and denial.
Die Nachricht aus Stade erschüttert bis ins Mark. Viele Menschen, die helfen und schützen wollten, haben ihr Leben verloren oder wurden verletzt. Mein Mitgefühl gilt den Opfern und ihren Angehörigen. Ich danke den Polizisten und Polizistinnen für ihren schnellen Einsatz.

The Stade massacre has revived questions Berlin’s ruling class works hard to suppress: immigration, clan crime, imported social conflicts, failed integration and the state’s inability to protect even its own welfare institutions.
German outlets NDR and WDR have reported that the suspected gunman belonged to the Miri clan, a large extended-family network associated in Germany with organized crime. Police have said the shooting appears to have been an isolated family-related act rather than a clan-directed operation.
That distinction may matter legally, but it does not settle the political question. Germany has allowed foreign-rooted clan structures to entrench themselves in its cities while citizens were told that raising the issue was xenophobic.
The Miri network has long been associated by authorities and media with organized crime, including drug trafficking, weapons offenses, extortion, money laundering and violent crime. One of its best-known figures, Ibrahim Miri, accumulated numerous convictions before being deported to Lebanon in 2019, illegally returning, and being deported again.
Stade itself has previously seen violence connected to clan disputes. A 2024 conflict linked to competing shisha businesses reportedly escalated into attacks, drive-by shootings and a fatal stabbing involving members of the Miri and Al-Zein networks.
Stade represents yet another grim warning about a state that polices speech more aggressively than it dismantles foreign clan power. Germany’s rulers monitor dissidents, stigmatize border-control voters and lecture citizens about diversity, yet repeatedly fail to confront the criminal structures that have been allowed to flourish under their watch.
The remigration argument is becoming unavoidable. Foreign criminals must be deported, dual nationals who commit grave crimes should face citizenship consequences where legally possible, and clan networks must be dismantled before they become permanent power structures inside Germany.
If a person with foreign citizenship or deportable status commits serious violence, the response cannot be another candlelight vigil or another speech about tolerance. It must be prosecution, removal, border enforcement and a serious reversal of the immigration policies that brought these problems into German life.
Stade is now grieving six people who went to work in a facility meant to protect women and children and never came home. Their deaths should force Germany to confront what its elites have spent years denying, namely that mass immigration without assimilation, weak law enforcement and political cowardice have a human cost.

Iraq’s sweeping anti-corruption purge is disrupting Iranian oil-smuggling networks and creating new opportunities for U.S. energy companies, though entrenched Iran-backed political factions continue to threaten long-term reform.
The return of ExxonMobil, Chevron, and BP to Iraq, backed by Trump administration diplomatic engagement, sanctions enforcement, and support for improved commercial terms, marks another step in Washington’s effort to strengthen American influence in the global oil system.
Paired with mounting pressure on Iran’s oil exports, renewed sanctions against Iranian smuggling networks, closer energy cooperation with Gulf partners, and efforts to strengthen U.S. control over key maritime trade routes, these developments point to a broader reversal after years of expanding Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi took office on May 16, 2026, after months of political deadlock following the November 2025 elections, and has since launched the most sweeping anti-corruption campaign in the country’s modern history, with the oil sector at its center.
The investigation began with the arrest of Oil Ministry Undersecretary for Refining Affairs Adnan al-Jumaili on May 30. After the arrest, authorities seized roughly $86 million in cash, 70 properties, 21 vehicles, and about three kilograms of gold jewelry tied to the case. They also recovered a cache of assault rifles and ammunition.
Al-Jumaili’s alleged network spanned refineries in Beiji, Doura, Maysan, and Shuaiba, with investigators pursuing billions in kickbacks tied to refinery contracts. His confessions led to the arrest of former Salaheddin governor Raed al-Jubouri.
The campaign escalated sharply on June 28, when security forces detained 47 high-profile individuals, including sitting Members of Parliament, party operators, executives, and businessmen, in a pre-dawn operation codenamed “Phase One.”
Among those detained was Ali Maarij al-Bahadly, deputy oil minister for distribution affairs, along with Muthanna al-Samarrai, leader of the Sunni Al-Azm Alliance. Al-Zaidi also cancelled a $764 million Baghdad airport project on suspicion of corruption. He created the Supreme Sovereign Council for Integrity, Oversight and Recovery of Public Funds, which he chairs personally.
He has also ordered mandatory economic feasibility checks on all projects. In addition, he directed the formation of audit sub-committees, with a central committee, including the Board of Supreme Audit, reviewing contracts before they are signed.
Washington had already moved against Iraq’s oil bureaucracy before the broader purge began. In May 2026, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned al-Bahadly, alleging he controlled oil-smuggling financing, dealt directly with the IRGC’s Quds Force, and negotiated shipments of Iranian oil mislabeled as Iraqi to evade sanctions.
The U.S. controls Iraqi oil export revenues because the funds are routed through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This gives Washington direct leverage, alongside sanctions on the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and the ability to halt portions of Iraq’s oil export revenue.
The PMF is an umbrella organization of predominantly Shia paramilitary factions. It was formed in 2014 to fight the Islamic State and was later formally incorporated into the Iraqi armed forces. However, most of its constituent groups remain Iranian-backed and operate outside genuine state control.
Washington also told Baghdad that the new government could not allow affiliates of Iran-backed militias to hold cabinet posts.
Despite this pressure, the Coordination Framework retained control of both the Oil and Finance Ministries in al-Zaidi’s partial cabinet, and unnamed Iraqi and Western sources have alleged that Deputy Oil Minister Khudair has served as Iran’s key interlocutor inside the ministry.
Set against this purge is a parallel and largely separate development: the return of major U.S. oil companies to Iraq after years of retreat. ExxonMobil withdrew from Iraq in November 2023, exiting the West Qurna 1 project. Chevron had also pulled back from the country after Iraq’s older technical service agreements, with their fixed per-barrel fees, drove away Western investors. Those terms favored Chinese and Russian firms, which were willing to accept thinner profit margins.
That began reversing in 2025. On October 8, 2025, ExxonMobil signed a non-binding Heads of Agreement with Iraq’s Oil Ministry to develop the 240,000 barrel-per-day Majnoon field in Basra and to support modernization of the country’s oil export infrastructure, including potential storage capacity in Asia.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani called the deal an important step for strengthening economic relations with the United States. Chevron separately signed a memorandum of understanding in August on the Nasiriyah project, covering four exploration blocks and development of the Balad oil field, and BP signed a preliminary agreement in February 2025 to invest in fields around Kirkuk.
The terms driving the U.S. return are substantively different from the contracts that pushed American firms out in the first place. The older technical service agreements, introduced by Iraq’s Oil Ministry in 2009, offered fixed per-barrel fees with limited upside, which drove away investors including Chevron.
The new agreements instead grant U.S. firms a larger share of overall profits and access to physical barrels of crude they can trade directly. Iraq’s commercial logic is straightforward: it offers some of the cheapest-to-produce oil in the world at a scale matched by few other countries, and Baghdad is aiming to raise crude production capacity to roughly 6 million barrels per day by 2029, up from around 5 million barrels per day. For ExxonMobil and Chevron specifically, Iraq also functions as a geopolitical hedge against potential contract disputes in Kazakhstan, where the government is seeking to revise terms to capture more state revenue.
The political dimension of the U.S. return is explicit on the Iraqi side. According to Bloomberg reporting, Baghdad views cooperation with American companies as a way to gain favor with the Trump administration, and Washington has backed Exxon and Chevron in their Iraq negotiations alongside parallel talks in Libya, Algeria, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan.
Iraqi officials cited in that reporting believe U.S. oil investment demonstrates independence from Iran. They also argue that it could help shield Iraq from regional conflict risk. Some officials have expressed frustration with the slower pace of development by Russian and Chinese partners.
Further progress on these U.S. deals was reported to depend on the formation of a new Iraqi government. That process concluded with al-Zaidi’s confirmation in May.
The purge and the U.S. corporate return remain separate tracks rather than directly linked developments. None of the officials arrested in the anti-corruption sweep have been publicly tied to the ExxonMobil, Chevron, or BP negotiations. The new contracts under discussion were negotiated as preliminary, non-binding agreements before most of the June arrests.
For Washington, the more direct connection runs through sanctions enforcement rather than corporate deals. Removing officials implicated in Iranian oil-smuggling networks, including the sanctioned al-Bahadly and the arrested al-Jumaili, advances the U.S. objective of cutting off Iranian sanctions evasion routed through Iraqi infrastructure. A prime minister willing to prosecute these networks also raises the prospect of tighter compliance going forward.
That said, the Coordination Framework’s continued hold on the Oil and Finance Ministries means Iran-aligned political forces remain embedded in the institutions governing contract awards and revenue flows. Those same revenue flows help fund the Popular Mobilization Forces. As a result, the purge has targeted individuals without dismantling the underlying political structure Washington has long sought to curb.
The trajectory of both the purge and the American oil return depends on the same underlying variable. The question is whether al-Zaidi’s government can consolidate enough authority to sustain reform against Iraq’s patronage-based political system. If not, it may remain constrained by the same factional structure it is nominally targeting.
Recovering stolen funds, whether held domestically or abroad, remains difficult under Iraq’s 1969 penal code. The code does not adequately address financial crimes committed after 2003.
For U.S. companies now re-entering Iraq on improved commercial terms, this unresolved tension remains the central risk. Reformist intent may not be enough to overcome entrenched patronage networks or guarantee the durability of their new positions.

Is the Ukraine war expanding throughout Europe?
The first terrorist attack in Monaco is developing to be more mysterious than previously thought.
The suspected victim, Vadim Ermolaev, was a Ukrainian oligarch sanctioned by Volodymyr Zelensky’s regime for his ties to Russia through his business in Crimea.
Given their habit of targeting enemies with bombs, it’s not a big stretch to imagine Kiev may well be behind the attack.

President Trump on Tuesday afternoon reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold birthright citizenship for babies born to illegal aliens.
The US Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship in a 5-4 decision.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion.
“Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause,” Roberts wrote.
Roberts was joined by Amy Coney Barrett, Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson.
Trump called on Congress to immediately get to work on ending “expensive and unfair” birthright citizenship.
Trump’s full statement:
The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process. No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support! President DONALD J. TRUMP
In a follow up post on Truth Social, President Trump celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Humphrey’s Executor on Monday.
Trump also called on Congress again to correct birthright citizenship.
The biggest and most consequential Decision issued by the Court, by far, is the Slaughter Case, which overturned the very famous Humphrey’s Executor Rule. This whole concept of “Power” has been fought over for nearly 100 years, going all the way back to Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, where a large slice of his Power was taken away. He fought to regain it, even wanting to “pack the Court,” but was unsuccessful in doing so. This Decision gives tremendous additional Power back to the Presidency, where it belongs. It is an Honor to be the sitting President who, after all these years, WON this very important, and hard fought, Case. We had other good Victories, too, and we also had the Birthright Citizenship loss, which we will work to correct in Congress, but the big SLAUGHTER, was SLAUGHTER. The Republican Party was treated very fairly by the United States Supreme Court. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
