Mother of murdered jogger slams Rep. Crockett for dismissing migrant crime victims
A mother whose daughter was murdered by an undocumented migrant is speaking out against the recent unrest in Los Angeles and pushing back on political rhetoric from Democratic lawmakers.
Patty Morin, the mother of 37-year-old Rachel Morin, appeared on "Fox & Friends" Friday to voice her frustration over ongoing anti-ICE protests and remarks made during a recent House hearing on sanctuary cities.
"To have all these protests for illegal immigrants, they're not even American citizens," Morin said. "While completely ignoring or at minimal, just acknowledging sometimes the names, sometimes not, the American citizens that are dying, the children that are being raped, the people that are being burned alive."
Angel Mom Of Rachel Morin Condemns Dems' Trip To See Deported Migrant, Mainstream Media Bias
Rachel Morin, a mother of five, was attacked and killed while jogging in Maryland. Authorities say she was ambushed, beaten and strangled by Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, an undocumented migrant who was convicted of her murder earlier this year.
Patty Morin's remarks came after Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas made comments during a House Oversight Committee hearing, where she accused Republicans of "cherry-picking" victims of illegal immigration and downplaying the threat of white supremacy.

Rachel Morin's Mother Tearfully Begs Media To 'Tell The Truth' About Criminal Illegal Immigrants
"I don't know how many hearings we [are going to] have about the fact that there's been this one immigrant that killed this one person," Crockett said Thursday. "And no, I'm not excusing any killings by them or white supremacists. But they haven't had these hearings."
The hearing called the governors of states with sanctuary city policies to testify, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Crockett apologized to the governors for having to speak and called the hearing "political theater."
Trump Victory Brings Relief To Family Of Mom Allegedly Murdered By Illegal Immigrant On Pedestrian Trail
Morin strongly disagreed with Crockett's comments and took issue with the congresswoman's criticism of President Donald Trump's immigration policies.
"One of the things that Crockett said was that President Trump is spending millions of dollars to protect American citizens, to send in ICE and the National Guard," said Morin. "She forgot to say that these sanctuary cities and states are spending billions of dollars to freely give things to illegal immigrants that the American citizen does not receive."
Rachel Morin's Mom Pleads Senators 'Hear Our Cries For Help' In Mass Deportations Hearing Testimony
Morin has become a vocal supporter of Trump's immigration agenda and has appeared alongside him at several public events. She continues to call for stricter immigration enforcement, saying what happened to her daughter should never happen to another family.
"The American people see that the [Democratic Party] and the liberals have no concern for the American people, for the everyday American citizen," Morin said. "They only have concern for their agenda. And that agenda is nothing more than to weaken and dismantle our country."Original article source: Mother of murdered jogger slams Rep.

G-7 agrees to exclude U.S. companies from 15% minimum tax
Leaders of the G-7 nations pose for a photo in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, on Monday: (from left) Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, U.S. President Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The G-7 announced the U.S. would be excluded from the 15% minimum tax on American companies. Photo via G7/UPI | License Photo June 29 (UPI) -- Group of Seven nations agreed to exempt U.S. companies from a 15% minimum corporate tax rate, the countries said in a joint statement. The nonbinding deal was announced Saturday but still requires approval from the 38-member Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development that established the 2021 agreement on taxing companies. G-7 nations are part of the OECED. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had proposed a "side-by-side solution" for American-headquartered companies that would be exempt from the Income Inclusion Rule and Undertaxed Profits Rule "in recognition of the existing U.S. minimum tax rules to which they are subject." The massive spending bill now being considered in Congress originally included a "revenge tax" that would have imposed a levy of up to 20% on investments from countries that taxed U.S. companies. "I have asked the Senate and House to remove the Section 899 protective measure from consideration in the One, Big, Beautiful Bill," Bessent wrote in a multi-post thread on X on Thursday. The House has approved the massive legislation and the Senate is considering it. "It is an honorable compromise as it spares us from the automatic retaliations of Section 899 of the Big, Beautiful Bill," Italian Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti told local media. "We are not claiming victory, but we obtained some concessions as the U.S. pledged to engage in OECD negotiations on fair taxation," an unnamed French official told Politico Europe. The official called the "revenge tax" a potentially "huge burden for French companies." Trump has criticized this provision because he said it would limit sovereignty and send U.S. tax revenues to other countries. "The Trump administration remains vigilant against all discriminatory and extraterritorial foreign taxes applied against Americans," Bessent wrote Thursday. Trump has imposed a July 9 deadline for U.S. trading partners to lower taxes on foreign goods, threatening high duties on the worst offenders, including 50% on goods from the 27 European Union members. In April, a baseline tariff was imposed on most U.S. trading partners, with higher rates on certain companies and products. In 2021, nearly 140 countries agreed to tax multinational companies at the 15% minimum, regardless of where they were headquartered. In late April, the European Union, Britain, Japan and Canada agreed to exempt the United States from the 15% minimum tax on companies. "Delivery of a side-by-side system will facilitate further progress to stabilize the international tax system, including a constructive dialogue on the taxation of the digital economy and on preserving the tax sovereignty of all countries," the joint statement read. The agreement, according to the statement, would ensure that any substantial risks identified "with respect to the level playing field, or risks of base erosion and profit shifting, are addressed to preserve the common policy objectives of the side-by-side system." The G-7 includes Britain, France, Germany, Italy in Europe, as well as Canada, Japan and U.S. Before 2014, the group was known as the G-8 until Russia was expelled after annexing the Crimea region of Ukraine. The chairs of the House and Senate committees responsible for tax policy cheered the agreement. "We applaud President Trump and his team for protecting the interests of American workers and businesses after years of congressional Republicans sounding the alarm on the Biden Administration's unilateral global tax surrender under Pillar 2," Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and Missouri Rep. Jason Smith, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a press release. The agreement also, however, has its critics. "The U.S. is trying to exempt itself by arm-twisting others, which would make the tax deal entirely useless," Markus Meinzer, director of policy at the Tax Justice Network, told Politico Europe. "A ship with a U.S.-sized hole in its hull won't float."

Trump says Republicans could miss July 4 deadline to pass ‘big beautiful' spending bill
President Trump is unsure whether Republicans will get his marquee One Big Beautiful Bill Act to his desk by the self-imposed Fourth of July deadline. 'I don't know. I mean, I can't tell you that,' Trump told Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures' in a pre-taped interview when asked about the timing of the bill's passage. 'I'd like to say, yes. But the problem is if we're two days late or five days late, everybody says, 'Oh, you had a tremendous failure.'' 'It's very important. If we don't have it, there's a 68% tax increase. If we have don't it, you know, the debt ceiling extension is very important,' he added. Trump revealed Sunday he's unsure if the 'big, beautiful bill' will be passed by July 4th. AP The One Big Beautiful Bill Act features Trump's legislative agenda, including the extension of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, bolstered border security, beefed-up defense spending, energy policy reforms, spending cuts and more. All of that is stuffed into one reconciliation bill to sidestep the 60-vote threshold needed to break a Democratic filibuster. The massive bill also increases the debt limit, ahead of the projected August to September debt ceiling deadline in which the US would run the risk of default. GOP leadership had publicly planned to put the megabill on Trump's desk by Independence Day. On Saturday evening, Senate Republicans advanced the mammoth agenda bill, kicking off the time-consuming procedural process to pass it. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has vowed to keep the upper chamber in town through the Fourth of July if needed to get the spending bill across the finish line. Despite starting the process, sharp divisions within the Senate GOP remain. Once it clears the Senate, it will then have to go through the House again before it can reach Trump's desk. One of the core divisions is over how much spending Republicans should cut. 'You also have to get elected. When you do cutting, you have to be a little bit careful, because people don't like necessarily cutting if they get used to something,' Trump said of the fiscal hawks demanding deeper cuts. 'And what I wanna do is do it through growth. We're gonna have growth like we've never seen before.' Despite starting the process, sharp divisions within the Senate GOP remain. REUTERS During his wide-ranging interview, Trump also spoke of how he plans to handle the $9 trillion US debt burden that is set to mature this year and faulted Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for not lowering rates. 'We're going turn it short term because we have a stupid person at the Fed if he would lower the rates,' Trump said of the looming debt obligation. 'But I don't want to have to pay for 10 years debt at a higher rate. 'And then we're to get somebody into the Fed who's going to be able to lower the rate.'
