| “Immigrants
soon find their place in urban
life, they soon adopt, externally, town manners and opinions, but for a
long time they remain foreign to civic thought. One cannot make a
social philosophy one’s own as easily as a new costume. . . More

seeming citizens within – those who are citizens in gesture,

The Grand Conspiracy: Five Things You Need to Know Douglas Andrews There hasn’t been a lot of talk about the Grand Conspiracy lately – at least not since DNI Tulsi Gabbard stunned the mainstream media into silence just over two weeks ago. It was then that Gabbard released evidence that then-President Barack Obama and his henchmen “conspired to subvert President Trump’s 2016 election victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people … while publicly pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power.” While it’s sad, even pathetic, that the legacy media is suddenly dumbstruck about the years-long Russia collusion hoax – which is the most serious political scandal of our lifetimes – it’s not at all unexpected.  Obama and Biden – What Did They Know and When Did They Know It? Mark Alexander There are endless “knock-knock” jokes. But the answer to “Who’s there?” by the deep state coup d'état cabal of co-conspirators who interfered both with the first election of Donald Trump and then undermined his administration, of may be, “The FBI.” In this case, my preference would be for “no knock” entries! A month ago, we noted that a “grand conspiracy” DoJ investigation was launched... At the time, distinguished legal scholar Jonathan Turley, a former Hillary Clinton supporter, concluded: “The public is now learning about the real Russian conspiracy and its key players. It was the most infamous – and successful – political hit job in history. |

| Putin Ally Says Critics Plan 'Titanic Efforts' to Derail Summit and Prolong Ukraine War A senior member of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle warned that multiple countries are mounting "titanic efforts" to undermine the upcoming summit between the Russian leader and U.S. President Donald Trump. "Undoubtedly, a number of countries interested in continuing the conflict will make titanic efforts to disrupt the planned meeting between President Putin and President Trump," wrote Russia's investment envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, in a Telegram post on Saturday, referencing the Kremlin's ongoing war in Ukraine. | |
| In Rush to Blame Job Numbers on Trump, Media Looks Past Key Detail That’s Great News for Americans Chris Donaldson In the Democrat-media rush to blame President Donald J. Trump for Friday’s dismal jobs report, one very important detail was largely ignored, and it’s great news for American workers. But according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), native-born Americans have actually experienced job gains while illegal aliens have declined, an early testament to the effectiveness of Trump’s tough new immigration policies. | |
| Trump: Government May Sell Fannie/Freddie Shares, Raise $30B, Cut $8T in Liabilities, Avert 2008-Style Financial Crisis The Trump administration is weighing the sale of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares in an offering that could begin as early as this year. Plans under discussion call for selling between 5% and 15% of their stock, with the two government-controlled mortgage giants valued at more than $500 billion. The transaction could raise around $30 billion, potentially making it the largest IPO in history. | |
| Census Bureau Errors Distort Congressional Representation for the States Hans von Spakovsky In a shocking report that has not received the attention it deserves, the U.S. Census Bureau recently admitted that its 2020 Census count of the American population was incorrect in at least 14 states. U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 Census Undercounts in Six States, Overcounts in Eight (May 19, 2022) And those mistakes were costly to certain states in terms of congressional representation, number of electors, and money those states are likely to receive from the federal government during the next decade. |  |
| JD Vance Calls On Republicans To Take 'decisive Action' To Counter Democratic Gerrymandering Amid the increasingly high-stakes battle over redistricting, Vice President JD Vance is calling for red states to counter what he calls "aggressive" Democratic gerrymandering in blue states like California, New York and Illinois. At the center of this push is a contentious debate over fairness, representation and the role of illegal immigration in congressional apportionment – an issue Vance argues is tipping the scales unfairly in favor of the Democratic Party. "The democratic system in this country is broken because who you vote for doesn't necessarily get reflected in who your representatives are," he told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures." | |
| Chicago Is So Gerrymandered Its Main Airport Is Parking Backlogged Planes in Two Different Congressional Districts Three days after Texas Democrats took a private jet to Chicago in an attempt to stop their Republican counterparts from passing a new congressional map, the airport they flew to, O'Hare International, experienced a flight backlog that forced planes to park in areas of the airport they would not normally use. The city's House districts are so infamously gerrymandered that those planes were parked in two different congressional districts. The ordeal illustrates the extent to which Illinois Democrats gerrymandered their state's House districts to send as many of their partymates to Washington, D.C., as possible. It also illustrates the unforced error Texas Democrats committed by traveling to Chicago to block Republicans from passing a new map in their own state. | |
| Inside the Enormous Biden Effort to 'debank' Trump After Jan. 6 Charles Gasparino The scale of the effort to “debank” Donald Trump because of pressure from Biden administration regulators went far beyond JPMorgan and Bank of America, The Post has learned. At least 10 other financial institutions closed their windows to the billionaire real estate tycoon over his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill melee. The moves came in the months after Trump left the White House in 2021, sources inside the Trump Organization told me. The stunning scale of the blacklisting is being revealed here for the first time. | |
| Trump Nominates State Department Spox Tammy Bruce for New Role Representing U.S. in the UN Among the first choices President Trump made, after the November 2024 election that swept him back into the White House, was whom should represent his new administration in the role of spokesperson for the State Department. He named Tammy Bruce, and it's easy to see why. On Saturday, Trump shared in a post on his Truth Social account that he's nominating her for an even more prominent role – this time while helping represent the U.S. at the United Nations. "I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Tammy Bruce, a Great Patriot, Television Personality, and Bestselling Author, as our next Deputy Representative of the United States to the United Nations, with the rank of Ambassador," he wrote. | |
| Trump Puts Nancy Pelosi's Personal Finances Before the Public As Only He Can Andrea Widburg Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, owns a small company called Financial Leasing Services, Inc. (estimated annual revenue $434,284) that bills itself as a real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm. Nancy Pelosi herself has spent the last 38 years as a federal employee. Her current salary is $174,000 per year. Nevertheless, Paul and Nancy Pelosi are estimated to be worth around $413 million, up from a “mere” $370 million just two years ago. This power couple’s wealth is almost magical. They are the living embodiment of the fact that, while Republicans get rich and then go into politics, Democrats go into politics and then get rich.  | |
| Goodbye to DEI, Crushed by the Weight of Its Own Hypocrisies Victor Davis Hanson President Donald Trump’s executive orders banning diversity, equity and inclusion-related racial and gender preferencing have ostensibly doomed the DEI industry. But DEI was already on its last legs. ... DEI had insidiously replaced the old notion of affirmative action – a 1960s-era government remedy for historical prejudices against black Americans, from the legacy of slavery to Jim Crow segregation. But during the Obama era, “diversity” superseded affirmative action by offering preferences to many groups well beyond black Americans. | |
| Europe’s Not the Only One Failing Because of the Green New Deal; So is New Jersey Andrea Widburg Thomas Kolbe has written about the collapse of the German economy, something pretty shocking to those of us who remember when the German economy seemed unstoppable. What’s slammed the brakes on that juggernaut is central planning that revolves around the whole Green New Deal theory. Other European countries are doing the same. Spain and Portugal had a catastrophic power outage thanks to their green energy policies, and, in England, people are getting cold and dirty in a very 19th-century way because of the UK’s drive for “Net Zero.” Had Kamala been elected last year, America would almost certainly have gone down that path, too. As it is, California’s Gavin Newsom is now begging the refineries that he closed to reopen. ... "You have to be a conservative to appreciate the irony that Western leftists buy solar panels – which are difficult and expensive to recycle, because they have all sorts of nastiness in them – from China, a country that uses coal to manufacture them." | |
| Elon Musk Proved Democrats Never Cared About the Environment Matt Margolis Elon Musk used to be a darling of the left. Then he bought Twitter and turned it into a free speech platform, and the left’s love affair ended overnight. Musk didn’t just stop the censorship of conservatives on one of the biggest social media platforms; he openly endorsed President Trump and went with him to the White House to root out waste and corruption. That’s when the left completely lost it, vandalizing Teslas and attacking dealerships in protest. But their outrage goes even deeper. Musk has exposed something Democrats never wanted you to notice: Their so-called climate principles crumble the moment partisan hatred takes over. Musk’s unapologetic shift to the right triggered such a meltdown on the left that many liberals aren’t just boycotting Tesla; they’re souring on electric vehicles altogether. | |
| Meta-Analysis of Over 100 Studies Shows Gas Stoves Pose NO Increased Risks of Asthma Legal Insurrection readers may recall that in 2023, the Biden administration seriously considered a nationwide ban on gas stoves, blaming “pollutants” released by the appliances. Now, a review of the data from 116 separate studies that was recently published in The Lancet and funded by the World Health Organization shows that heating and cooking with natural gas stoves is not associated with asthma in children or adults. ... The study’s conclusion that there is no association between the use of natural gas and asthma contradicts prior claims of population incidence of asthma attributable to gas, which are only valid where a causal relationship exists. In fact the same study shows that the use of gas stoves has a very positive effect on human health, as follows: | The fuel scare was not only bad science, it was dangerous propaganda. |
| Moms For Liberty Called a ‘Hate Group’ in Massachusetts Police Trainings The group responsible for training Massachusetts police officers listed a prominent parental rights group alongside Antifa and neo-Nazis on its list of “hate groups.” The Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee, which trains more than 20,000 police officers across the commonwealth, listed Moms for Liberty under “Hate Groups” active in Massachusetts in training materials, which were shared exclusively with The Daily Wire. The training materials cited the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, which labels Moms for Liberty an “anti-government extremist” group. | |
| Corrupt Democrat Rep. Caught Taking Bribes In 2013, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife took a seemingly routine trip to Turkey and Azerbaijan, funded by an obscure Houston-based nonprofit. What followed, federal prosecutors now allege, was a years-long scheme involving foreign influence, money laundering, and one of the most serious indictments ever brought against a sitting member of Congress. According to a federal indictment unsealed last week, Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and Mexico’s Banco Azteca. |  |
| DOJ Appoints Prosecutor to Probe Adam Schiff, Letitia James Mortgage Fraud Allegations  U.S.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has appointed a special prosecutor to
investigate alleged mortgage fraud by Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and
New York Attorney General Letitia James, several outlets reported
Friday. According to the New York Post, Bondi has tapped former
acting U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Ed Martin to spearhead “the
prosecution of James and Schiff for potential mortgage fraud, bank
fraud and wire fraud, which carry jail terms of up to 30 years.”
“Attorney General Bondi and President Trump have given me a very
serious and mission,” Martin told the outlet. “For months DOJ and the
FBI have been working on these two cases, it is my job to stick the
landing.” | |
| Why Isn't the Corporate News Showing You a Picture of the Army Sergeant Who Was Arrested for a Shooting Rampage? Five soldiers were shot at Fort Stewart yesterday. A suspect was quickly in custody. His name and mugshot were released. Let's see if any major outlets showed us his face: CNN, NBC, CBS, NPR, others, Nope, Nada. Anyway, here's Sergeant Quornelius Samentrio Radford:  Why does the media have to hide the identities of their favored groups? Why can't we do profiles on suspects equally? Don't the American people deserve the truth? What happened to reporting facts instead of narratives? | |
| Border Wall Materials Sold by Biden May Soon Find Their Way Back to the Feds, Auctioneer Claims The global government-surplus auction house that listed unused components of President Donald Trump’s border wall under the Biden administration told Fox News Digital on Friday that it plans to coordinate with the Trump administration to return some of the materials to the federal government. In January 2021, President Joe Biden set in motion the chain of events that would eventually lead to the sale of unconstructed border wall components and implements. | |
| Anti-ICE Rioter Who Hurled Cinderblocks at Border Patrol Indicted, Faces Up to 20 Years in Prison The rioter who threw cinderblocks at and injured Border Patrol agents during an ICE raid in June in Paramount, California, has been indicted by a federal grand jury. Jacob Daniel Terrazas was charged with one count of assault on a federal employee by using a deadly and dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury. If convicted, he would face a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. "We will not stand by while our brave federal agents and officers get hurt,” Acting United States Attorney Bill Essayli said. “If you injure an official enforcing immigration law, you may serve 20 years in a federal prison cell. It’s just not worth it.” | |
| Man Arrested with Fully Loaded AR-15 and Knives Outside Palm Beach Airport Frequented by Trump Authorities in Florida arrested a man early Tuesday morning after discovering a loaded AR-15 rifle and several knives inside a rental vehicle parked in a restricted area at a Palm Beach County Airport, according to law enforcement officials. Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) deputies responded around 7:10 a.m. after airport operations staff reported a suspicious individual standing outside a dark-colored vehicle in a secure parking zone. When deputies arrived, they found the man, later identified as Michael Rodrigues, 41, of no known local address, outside the vehicle, reportedly getting dressed. Deputies determined the vehicle was a rental and opened the glove compartment to retrieve the rental agreement. Inside, they found a fully loaded AR-15 magazine. | |
| Former AOC Organizer Busted After Calling for Attack on 'Israel-Loving Zionists' at Public School Antisemitism has to be one of humanity's oldest and most irrational hatreds, but that doesn't mean it doesn't keep popping up. The latest example comes to us from Brooklyn, from a former organizer for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who, we should note, had nothing to do with the event. The former organizer, one Iman Abdul, took to her X account to call for an attack on a public high school attended by Jewish students. | |
| INCREDIBLE! Virginia School District Officials Being Investigated for Bankrolling Secret Abortions for Students We have a wild story coming out of Northern Virginia: We have an investigation into some Fairfax County School District officials who are accused of bankrolling and arranging secret abortions for students without their parents’ consent. Is it surprising? Given what we’ve read about school districts giving transgender students puberty blockers and hiding certain methods from parents, why wouldn’t these unhinged officials establish a covert network for abortions? This operation has been around since 2021. | |
| First Female Teammate of Trans Athlete Speaks Out on Being 'mortified' by Experience Caroline Hill turned down multiple Division I women's track and field scholarships to compete for Division III Rochester Institute of Technology. Her talents allowed her to break the program record in the 200-meter and 300-meter early in her collegiate career. But then she had to watch both records fall to transgender teammate Sadie Schreiner, all while feeling "uncomfortable" sharing a locker room with her trans teammate for the next two years. | |
| Dershowitz Takes on Pierogi Politics, and Leftist Hypocrisy Jonathan Turley Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz appears to be living through a remake of the Seinfeld Soup Nazi episode. However, Dershowitz is facing a new culinary menace in Martha's Vineyard. Chef Krem Miskevich has barred the famed lawyer from buying pierogis because of his political views, and liberals are applauding him for it. Welcome to Pierogi Politics. It is the same distasteful politics that is tearing apart this country, only with an added carbo load. He is treated as a persona non grata and shunned by the wealthy community. |

| The Reveal: Democrats
Pulled the Greatest Political Con Job Ever on Americans. It's Finally Unraveling Jonathan Turley This week, Washington was rocked by new releases in the declassification of material related to the origins of the Russian investigation. The material shows further evidence of a secret plan by the Clinton campaign to use the FBI and media to spread a false claim that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. With this material, the public is finally seeing how officials and reporters set into motion what may be the greatest hoax ever perpetrated in American politics. There never was a Russian collusion conspiracy. This is the emerging story of the real Russian conspiracy to manufacture a false narrative that succeeded in devouring much of the first term of the Trump administration. |

| The Deep State’s Secret
Is Out: Kash Patel Found Thousands of Trump-Russia Docs Matt Margolis FBI Director Kash Patel stumbled onto a hidden stash of sensitive documents about the Trump-Russia probe’s origins, thousands of them, packed into multiple “burn bags” hidden in a secret room at the bureau, sources told Fox News Digital. These “burn bags” aren’t just any trash. They’re meant for destroying classified or highly sensitive material, which makes this discovery all the more explosive. |

| Trump 1.0 Alums Share Chilling
Google Message from Before Second-Term Return: 'LAWFARE at its finest' Officials from the first Trump administration are alleging they received notices from Google shortly before they returned to office that they were being probed by the FBI under the Biden administration and the web giant was unable to tell them because of a court order... "They were trying to bait me to go to court to get them to destroy their secret copies of the emails, so they could try to break even my lawyer-client privilege with President Trump. But my team and I didn’t fall for it," Clark also said. "Moreover, the whole thing was a blatant attempt to intimidate me. It didn’t work and I didn’t fold under the pressure." |

| Trump Tells Schumer to 'GO TO HELL'
Over Senate Nominee Deal Funding Demands After Negotiations Collapse In a lengthy post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of "demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees."... Instead of finding a pathway to vote on as many as 60 of the president’s nominees, all of which moved through committee with bipartisan support, lawmakers rapid-fire voted on seven before leaving Washington until September. But prior to the president’s edict, both sides of the aisle believed they were on the verge of a breakthrough to both meet Trump’s desire to see his nominees confirmed and leave Washington. |

| Bondi DOJ Files Complaint Alleging Misconduct by Federal Judge James Boasberg The Department of Justice has filed an official complaint alleging misconduct by U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg. Fox News has reviewed the complaint which was written by Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle and addressed to the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Sri Srinivasan. "The Department of Justice respectfully submits this complaint alleging misconduct by U.S. District Court Chief Judge James E. Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Donald J. Trump to the Chief Justice of the United States and other federal judges that have undermined the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary," says Mr. Mizelle. |

| Trump Killing Federal Regulations
at 10-1 Rate, Tops First Term’s 4-1 Cut With little fanfare, the Trump administration has gone on a regulation-cutting binge, eliminating Biden- and Obama-era rules while slashing the bureaucracy built to impose costly restrictions on Wall Street and Main Street. Early indications from a key regulation watcher confirm that President Donald Trump is not just making good on a campaign promise to cut 10 regulations for every new one his team proposes, but has also paused issuing new regulations. |

| Trump Vindicated by Jobs Slump;
Powell Humiliated The July jobs report was a disaster for the American worker, the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve, and Jerome Powell. But it was also a vindication for Donald Trump, for dissenting Fed Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, and for a private sector economist named Neil Dutta. With payrolls rising by just 73,000 and prior months revised down by a stunning 258,000 jobs, the data confirmed what critics have warned for months: the Fed’s overly tight policy has weakened the labor market. It’s hard to imagine a sharper rebuke to Jerome Powell’s complacent view of the labor market. |

| Critical Condition: America Faces a
Supply Chain Crisis for Basic Drugs, and Trump Wants to Fix It "This is a horrible situation," Sen. Roger "Doc" Marshall, R-Kan., a medical doctor now serving in the Senate, told Just the News. "America makes only about 10% of our active pharmaceutical ingredients. These are the simple things: antibiotics, penicillin, ampicillin, Keflex. Think about insulin or monoclonal antibodies. These are real simple things." Marshall said the efforts of drugmakers to drive down costs through globalization moved the production of ingredients and finished drugs overseas to China, a competitor, and India, an ally with a history of quality control issues with drugmaking. |

| Texas Local Official Caught Mocking
DHS Secretary as 'Homeland Barbie' After Deadly Floods City officials in Kerrville were largely unprepared for the devastating floods that struck the Hill Country on July 4, according to newly released city communications, including emails and text messages obtained by KSAT through public records requests. The documents include a text exchange involving Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice, in which he appeared to mock U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Hours before a July 5 press conference, held alongside federal, state, and local officials to update the public on rescue efforts, a city employee texted Rice, "Just saw you met Homeland Barbie. How is she?" Rice replied, "Basically Homeland Barbie," followed by a string of laughter. |

| Judge Makes Wildly Insane Ruling on
Trump Revoking TPS – May Have Topped Planned Parenthood Absurdity Bonchie It's important to note the context of the people involved here. Specifically regarding the Central Americans granted Temporary Protective Status, that happened under the Clinton administration in response to Hurricane Mitch. Since 1998, that status has been used as a de facto amnesty despite the countries in question having fully recovered some two decades ago. As for those from Nepal, their status stems from an earthquake that struck in 2015. So, before we even get into the details, the justification to continue TPS for the populations in question seems stretched beyond absurdity. Does the word "temporary" even mean anything at this point? It sure doesn't seem like it if a judge can decree it permanent despite the justification for the status no longer even existing. |

| Ex-Trump Prosecutor Jack Smith
Under Investigation By Government Watchdog Office of Special Counsel The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is investigating former special counsel Jack Smith, the OSC has confirmed to Fox News. Smith was tapped in 2022 by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland to serve as special counsel regarding two probes pertaining to then-former President Donald Trump. The OSC is investigating Smith for allegedly violating the Hatch Act, which bars government employees from partaking in political activities. It is not a criminal investigation. |

| Trump-Hating Russia Hoax
Investigator Fired As Top NSA Lawyer The National Security Agency fired one of its top lawyers, April Doss, after The Daily Wire revealed that she has a history of expressing anti-Trump views. That’s not surprising given that she previously worked for Democrat Sen. Mark Warner. “When serving as the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence panel,” the Wire said, Warner “hired Doss to tie Trump to Russia.” Doss is hardly apolitical – she advocated for cracking down on COVID “misinformation,” blamed Republican “extremists” for the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and labeled the January 6 Capitol riot an “insurrection,” which she blamed on Donald Trump. |

| Thugocracy? Adam Schiff Thinks
Distrust of Government Started with Trump -- Boy, Have We Got News for Him! Warren Squire Democrat Senator Adam Schiff says Americans no longer trust the government because of President Donald Trump. Um, Americans haven’t trusted the government for decades, Schiff. Your time in office, plus your relentless pushing of the debunked Russiagate hoax, has only caused that distrust to expand. Trump, on the other hand, is purging the rot from federal agencies that Americans trust least. |

Anti-White Discrimination, Using 'Race-Based Quota System' Embattled Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge was being sued by four high-ranking officers claiming she discriminated against white lieutenants while doling out promotions and assignments using a “race-based quota system.” The lawsuit, filed in May, resurfaced as Theetge faces scrutiny amid her department’s investigation into the high-profile vicious street beatdown of a defenseless white woman in the Ohio city last weekend. Capt. Robert Wilson and Lieutenants Patrick Caton, Gerald Hodges and Andrew Mitchell claimed in the suit that the police chief bypassed them for positions they deserved – and instead gave minority and female lieutenants preferential treatment, Newsweek reported. |

| Election Integrity Watchdog: New York’s Voter Rolls Are a ‘Disaster’ M.D. Kittle New York is known for a lot of things: The Big Apple, Niagara Falls, and Buffalo wings. The Empire State also lays claim to some of the worst voter rolls in the country, according to a new report from an election-integrity watchdog. According to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, nearly 50,000 registrants on New York’s voter list are registered in at least one other state. About half of those – 24,873 registrants – are also registered in Florida. Another 6,247 have duplicate registrations in North Carolina, and another 5,724 are also on New Jersey’s voting rolls. |

| Mamdani's Cop-Hating Agenda Speaks
Louder Than His Hollow Words After Horrific NYC Shooting Michael Goodwin Sensible New Yorkers didn’t need yet another reason to vote against Zohran Mamdani for mayor, but Monday’s horrific Midtown slaughter provided a clear illustration of why the radical Democrat must not win the keys to City Hall. Mamdani is in Uganda celebrating his wedding, but his initial statement on X about the bloodbath on Park Avenue rings hollow given his past smears of the NYPD and repeated calls to – “defund the police.” |

Condemn Oct. 7, Demand Hamas Leave Gaza While Calling for 2-State Solution In a move to re-establish the two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, the European Union, Arab League and 17 countries joined an agreement Tuesday at a United Nations conference, calling for an end to the Gaza War. Notably, the declaration signed by Arab League nations – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and others – featured the first public condemnation of Hamas for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, along with a clear demand for the terror group to release Israeli hostages, disarm and leave Gaza. The seven-page document is titled “New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine” and was obtained by several news outlets. |

| Sunblock: The Global Fight to Save
Farmland from Big Solar Robert Bryce I made this 10-minute documentary, SUNBLOCK, because I love farmers and ranchers and want to tell their stories. This film is available for free here on Substack and YouTube. I made this film with my own money on a tiny budget with basic equipment so I could produce it quickly and shine a spotlight on the global battle to save prime farmland from the encroachment of giant solar projects. Of course, the widespread destruction of farmland doesn’t fit the narrative that’s relentlessly promoted by climate activists, legacy media outlets, and big NGOs like the Sierra Club, NRDC, and Environmental Defense Fund. And of course, the New York Times and NPR are parroting the same pro-solar narrative. But the facts are clear: solar energy is expanding rapidly; that expansion is gobbling up massive amounts of land; and all over the world, farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners are fighting to protect their property and livelihoods from Big Solar.  |

| Trump Doesn’t Tilt at Windmills –
He Tears Them Down Stephen Green Don Quixote tragically tilted at windmills, mistaking them for monsters. Donald Trump, on the other hand, recognizes the real monster – the subsidies, the blight, and the lies – behind the spinning blades. "They’re killing us. They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good," Trump said to an audience that must have been aghast at his politically incorrect audacity. "When they start to rust and rot in eight years, you can't really turn them off, you can't bury them, they won't let you bury the propellers – you know, the props – because they're a certain type of fiber that doesn't go well with the land, that's what they say, the environmentalists say you can't bury them." |

Environmental Groups’ War on Sensible Forest Management in the U.S. Stephen Heins As someone fed up with the alarmist narratives peddled by mainstream media and so-called environmental champions – echoing the truth-seeking spirit of xAI – I’ve watched with growing frustration as these groups sabotage practical forest management in the United States. What should be straightforward stewardship to prevent wildfires, promote healthy ecosystems, and sustain resources has been twisted into a battlefield of ideology over evidence. |

| Department of Energy Report on the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Francis Menton The same day that EPA initiated the process of revoking the absurd “endangerment finding” that demonizes CO2 emissions from energy production there was another equally momentous development on the energy front at the federal government. On that day, the Department of Energy released a lengthy Report with the title “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” ... The Report overall comes off as a fair and balanced assessment of risks and trade-offs, rather than what normally comes from climate academics and journalists, which are cheap attempts to use speculation and fake projections to scare you out of your wits. |

| Kamala Harris Announces She Will
Not Run for California Governor Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday announced that she will not run for California governor next year, ending months of speculation.

Harris previously stated that she would reach a decision on governor this summer.  |

Attorney Amid Partisan Clash As Dem Nominee Blockade Continues The Senate on Saturday confirmed Jeanine Pirro, President Donald Trump’s pick to serve as Washington D.C.’s top prosecutor, as lawmakers failed to reach a deal to ram through dozens of the president’s nominees. The onetime New York judge and prosecutor and former Fox News host was one of the over 150 still outstanding nominees on the Senate’s calendar as Senate Republicans work to find a path forward to ram through Senate Democrats’ blockade of Trump’s nominees, and part of a slew of picks to get a vote over the weekend. |

Josh Stein’s veto of the a Republican sponsored legislation that would officially “recognize two sexes in all administrative rules, regulations, or public policies adopted” by the state, prohibit state funding from going toward trans procedures, and require schools to “adopt policies” enabling parents and students to opt out of curriculum on religious grounds. According to the North Carolina Family Policy Council, the law will also “extend the statute of limitations to ten years for a malpractice action arising out of injury associated with a gender transition procedure.” |

| Black, Hispanic Americans More
Likely Than Whites to Think DEI Increases Discrimination Against Them, Poll Finds Black and Hispanic Americans are more likely than white Americans to believe that left-wing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives "end up increasing discrimination against people like them," the Associated Press reported Thursday based on its joint poll with NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. "About 4 in 10 Black adults and about one-third of Hispanic adults say DEI increases discrimination against Black people, compared with about one-quarter of white adults," according to the AP. "There is a similar split between white adults and Black and Hispanic adults on assessments of discrimination against Hispanic people." |

| Trump Admin Withholds $100 Million
in Funding for Duke University Amid Civil Rights Probe The Trump administration has frozen $108 million in federal funding for North Carolina's Duke University, days after it opened a civil rights investigation into the school. The investigation, announced Monday, centers on allegations that Duke's law school made hiring and acceptance decisions on the basis of race and color. It also accuses the university of using race preferences in hiring, admissions and scholarship decisions. |

| More Than a Dozen States Still Not
Complying with New Title IX Interpretation More than a dozen U.S. states – and the District of Columbia – are refusing to comply with former President Trump’s Feb. 5, 2025, executive order “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” which directs federal agencies to withhold funding from schools and athletic associations that allow males to compete on girls’ teams. That order mandates a biological-sex definition under Title IX and instructs the Department of Education to enforce this interpretation. Yet, Defending Education’s Title IX tracker found that out of 50 states, 18 plus D.C. have publicly rejected the rule via official statements or policies. |

| Virginia Dad Suspended from Pool After Calling Out Boy in Girls’ Races A Virginia father was suspended from a local pool after alerting officials to a boy competing against girls in several swimming races. Woodley Pool, located in Fairfax County, claims they are suspending Luis Enrique Fernandez, a father of six, for allegedly using “repeated vulgarity” toward a parent and members of an opposing team and acting in a “threatening and abusive” manner. However, speaking exclusively to The Daily Wire, Fernandez says the account is not true. The father of six, who has been a paying member of the club since 2019, suspects the Woodley Pool board is punishing him for speaking out about the male competing against females, while using a flimsy pretext – which Fernandez vehemently disputes – as cover. |

| Newly Declassified
Documents Destroy Russian Collusion Hoax Gregg Jarrett The Big Lie was that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 presidential election. It derived from a phony dossier commissioned and financed by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Obama’s national security team happily peddled to destroy his successor. It begat an even bigger whopper that "Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump" and "aspired to help" his election chances. This notorious deceit was inserted in the official Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that was ordered by Obama himself and conjured up by his CIA Director John Brennan. |
|
| Revenge or Justice? Victor Davis Hanson Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just released a trove of apparently once-classified documents – with promises of much more to follow. The new material describes the role of the Obama administration's intelligence and investigatory directors – purportedly along with former President Barack Obama himself – in undermining the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. In addition, their efforts extended to sabotaging the 2016-2017 presidential transition and, by extension, the first three years of the Trump presidency. The released documents add some new details to what over the last decade has become accepted knowledge. |

| DNI
Tulsi Gabbard: Obama and Clinton Were Coconspirators Mark Alexander  Last
week, amid the self-inflicted distraction over AG Pam Bondi’s “Epstein
Files Fail,” President Donald Trump dropped this teaser: “The 2020
Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in
2024 – That’s what [Bondi] is looking into as AG, and much more.” CIA
Director John Ratcliffe ordered a comprehensive review of the CIA’s
role in the “Russia collusion” investigation ahead of the 2016
election, and the political weaponization of both the CIA and FBI to
fabricate a premise on which to investigate Trump. He declassified the
2020 House Intelligence Committee report, including the Appendix
timeline which notes, “Acting on President Obama’s orders, [then CIA
Director John] Brennan directed a ‘full review’ and publication of raw
HUMINT (Human Intelligence) information that had been collected before
the election.” That is the direct link to Obama. |

| Actually, Obama Can Be Indicted.
Here’s Why. Matt Margolis  This week, investigative journalist John Solomon told Steve Bannon that despite all the evidence that has been declassified linking Barack Obama to the Russiagate hoax, Obama won’t and can't be indicted for his role in the Russian collusion hoax. But is Solomon right? [T]he ruling does not give presidents the power to break the law with impunity. If a president lies to federal investigators, commits fraud, or abuses power outside the scope of his official duties, he can still face prosecution. The Court explicitly left the door open for criminal charges – even against sitting or former presidents – if the conduct in question was personal, political, or unrelated to the legitimate functions of the presidency. |

| Obama Tries to Extract Himself from
Russiagate, But Documents Put Him At the Heart of It  President
Barack Obama has sought to distance himself from the Russiagate
scandal, but evidence – including records of key meetings he attended
and an unambiguous directive he issued – puts him at the heart of some
of the bogus Trump-Russia claims. The chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee said Wednesday that “there were a lot of people
involved, and it goes all the way up to President Obama.” Rep. Rick
Crawford, R-Ark., who leads the important intelligence oversight panel,
told Just the News, No Noise that Obama
cannot be allowed to avoid responsibility: “He can’t plead
ignorance. He can’t play the plausible deniability card. He
was intimately involved in this and authorized it.” |

| Jessica Tarlov Flips Out When Confronted with Facts on Russia Hoax Matt Margolis The liberal media is in full meltdown mode over the latest bombshells exposing the Russian collusion hoax – and this time, the fallout reaches straight into Barack Obama’s inner circle, possibly even the man himself. Watching the panic set in has been something to behold. But for pure unintentional comedy, nothing beats the reaction over at Fox News, where resident left-wing mouthpiece Jessica Tarlov completely lost it – again – during a segment on “The Five.” What triggered the outburst? Jesse Watters dared to cite the mountain of evidence blowing apart one of the Democrats’ most sacred myths: that Vladimir Putin was obsessed with electing Donald Trump in 2016. |

The complaints point to public documents, internal reports, and Cracker Barrel’s own language to allege the company maintains illegal DEI frameworks, such as race- and gender-conscious hiring, leadership and promotion pipelines, which provide benefits to employees on the basis of protected characteristics. |

| Missouri AG Bailey Sued Planned
Parenthood on Wednesday for Allegedly Misleading Women About the
Abortion Pill’s Dangers The abortion provider makes “brazenly false” claims about the abortion pill, mifepristone, to boost revenue, putting women at risk by suggesting it is “safer than many other medicines like penicillin, Tylenol, and Viagra,” the lawsuit alleges. “The national Planned Parenthood organization is actively endangering the lives of women and girls across the country by spreading lies and disinformation about the powerful chemical abortion drug,” Bailey said in a statement. “The facts are clear: more than 4.5 percent of women who take this dangerous drug end up in the emergency room, yet Planned Parenthood compares it to Tylenol. This is a blatant violation of Missouri law, and I will not allow a death factory to lie to Missouri women in pursuit of its radical agenda.”  Planned Parenthood Sues Nevada Over 40-Year Abortion Law A 40-year-old dormant law requiring Nevada minors to notify parents before an abortion was enacted for the first time Tuesday evening. In anticipation on Monday, Planned Parenthood launched a lawsuit to block the dormant law, Senate Bill 510, and to return the permanent injunction that had kept the 1985 law from being enforced. “For decades, unmarried and unemancipated adolescents have been allowed to and trusted to make decisions related to their pregnancies without forced parental involvement or judicial involvement,” read the Planned Parenthood complaint to Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court. |

The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), an Israeli aid group, posted on X yesterday aerial footage of the pallets of aid that are waiting to be handed out to hungry Gazans. The UN refused, claiming that the organization prioritizes IDF military objectives over neutral humanitarian aid. They have also criticized GHF’s methods, claiming that many Palestinians have been killed while attempting to access aid at GHF’s designated distribution sites. To date, GHF has delivered 87 million meals, averaging between two to three million meals handed out per day.  |

'Still Be Alive' If Not for Sanctuary Policies Protecting Illegal Immigrant The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer against 30-year-old Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila, who was charged in the deaths of 18-year-old Hallie Helgeson and 19-year-old Brady Heiling. "Hallie Helgeson and Brady Heiling had their whole lives ahead of them -- and they would still be alive today if it weren’t for Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila -- a criminal illegal alien from Honduras," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. "Martinez-Avila recklessly drove the wrong way on a highway while intoxicated and killed these two teens. "ICE has lodged an arrest detainer to remove this public safety threat from the U.S.," she continued. "Unfortunately, this sanctuary jurisdiction has a history of not honoring ICE arrest detainers often leading to the release of murderers and other heinous criminals. Under Secretary Noem, these precious victims will not be forgotten, and we will fight for justice." |

| DoJ Pledges to 'kill' DEI in Govt,
Business, Schools – “Either DEI Will End on its Own, or We Will Kill It” The Department of Justice will remain laser-focused on combating actions it believes violate civil rights laws, including initiatives promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. That plan includes using subpoenas, prosecutions or revocation of federal funding, DOJ Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in a civil rights and DEI-focused Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday. “The goal is clear – either DEI will end on its own, or we will kill it,” Dhillon told lawmakers, arguing that DEI, by pushing for equity-based outcomes rather than individual rights and opportunity, is “a form of group justice that is a Marxist concept” and equates to “invidious racial discrimination.” “The modern civil rights machine, both inside and outside the government, has been wielded like a weapon.” –Eric Schmitt |

| Leading Medical Journals Care More
About DEI Than Major Diseases Howard H. Fenn & Kurt Miceli In his novel The Magic Mountain, Thomas Mann describes wealthy European consumptives who retreat to a sanitorium high in the Swiss Alps, convinced that thin air aids in treating pulmonary tuberculosis. In their self-contained community, they affirm their faith in contemporary medical practices while delaying the demands of life in the “flatlands.” Medical researchers, it seems, are retreating to a sanatorium of their own. Based on our analysis, leading medical journals increasingly lean left and are abandoning scientific principles in service of progressive ideology. |

The settlement, under which Columbia will agree to submit to independent monitoring to ensure it is complying with merit-based hiring and admissions requirements, is likely to put pressure on other schools – like Harvard University – that have crossed the White House over tolerance of extreme Jew-hatred on campus since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas against Israel.

The decision comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February called “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The USOPC updated its Athlete Safety Policy on its website, telling sports groups like those for swimming, track, and fencing to follow the new rule. They say it’s because they’re a federally funded group and have to listen to the government after some “respectful” talks with officials. |

Denied Adoption Over Not Affirming Gender Ideology A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday in favor of an Oregon mother who was denied the ability to seek adoption by the state after she refused to affirm gender ideology as part of the application. A three judge panel on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled 2-1 in favor of Jessica Bates, finding the Oregon policy requiring adoptive parents to “respect, accept, and support” a child’s gender identity, expression, or sexual orientation, likely violates the First Amendment for infringing on her “sincerely held religious beliefs.” Judge Daniel Bress wrote the majority ruling, joined by Judge Michael Hawkins, while Judge Richard Clifton dissented from the majority. |

DEI Hire at SCOTUS Hits a New Low Emmy Griffin Last week, The Washington Post published an op-ed by a distressed professional clown who was deeply offended that Donald Trump was counted among his merry band. In other words, leftists love to call Trump “a clown.” Clearly, though, all of the Left’s acolytes are clowns, and no one is more clownish these days than Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Three years ago, the Joe Biden-appointed jurist infamously claimed during her confirmation hearing that she couldn’t define what a woman is because she’s “not a biologist.” More recently, in the Trump v. CASA decision last month, the justice’s dissenting opinion used the meme phrase “wait for it” and asserted that the judiciary had to act in order to restrain a monarchical executive branch. It was so bad that Justice Amy Coney Barrett addressed it in withering terms in her own opinion for the majority. |

Your Data to Rig Elections and Censor Speech Matt Margolis Jason Chaffetz has delivered a devastating exposé that should terrify every American who values his or her constitutional rights. Writing in the New York Post, the former House Oversight Committee chairman pulls back the curtain on what may be the most comprehensive assault on American democracy we've witnessed in our lifetime – and it's happening with our own tax dollars. Chaffetz revealed that the Biden administration didn't just weaponize federal agencies against political opponents; it orchestrated an elaborate data-theft operation that would make authoritarian regimes jealous. As Chaffetz explains, "Federal entities outsourced unlawful data collection to politically sympathetic partners. Rather than directly amassing data, they procured or exchanged it from or with nonprofits and technology firms." |

Claims of Obama-Era Cabal's 'Treasonous Conspiracy' Against Trump Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard detailed "striking" findings from declassified documents released Friday, claiming to showcase "overwhelming evidence" that an Obama-era cabal laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe after the 2016 election. "The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic," Gabbard said on this week's "Sunday Morning Futures." "Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our democratic republic," she continued. |

Consumer prices ticked up slightly, and now they’re scrambling to spin it as proof that Donald Trump’s America First trade agenda is tanking the economy. But don’t fall for the headlines; they’re not telling you the whole story. Yes, the Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% last month, pushing the annual inflation rate to 2.7%. That’s a bit above the Fed’s 2% target and the highest since February, but it was exactly what Wall Street expected. Actually, it was better. |

| Why Is Cutting 0.1% of the $6.75
Trillion Federal Budget So Hard? Rick Moran The U.S. Senate passed a bill that cuts around $9 billion from funds for public broadcasting and foreign aid. That represents cutting 0.1% of the $6.75 trillion in federal spending from a budget with a $2 trillion deficit. And these were the easy cuts. Republicans have been clamoring for decades to cut foreign aid and stop funding public broadcasting. Still, the vote was 51-48 with two GOP senators defecting. This shows the obstacles to cutting enough government spending to make a dent in the federal budget deficit, much less start the process of bringing down the national debt. |

| Trump
and the GOP Look to Gain More Seats in the Midterms Through Redistricting In Texas, they're about to vote on a plan that should, in theory, if everything works out, give the GOP five additional House seats. They're doing this by "unpacking" red voters from red districts and moving some of the red voters into blue districts, in hopes that the new red voters can flip those districts. There's always a danger to doing this: by making the red districts less red and more blue, you create the possibility that you'll lose red seats if there's a blue wave. When you spread out your voters into more districts, you have a better chance to gain more territory, but you also increase the risks that the enemy can seize your more-lightly defended bastions, too. |

The memo accuses the Biden-Harris administration of directly and indirectly funding “radical leftist” organizations behind the 2023 anti-government protests in Israel. “The Committee’s oversight has revealed that the Biden-Harris Administration provided grant funds to groups that contributed directly and indirectly to the judicial reform protests that sought to undermine the Israeli government,” the document disclosed. |

| The U.S. Department of Education Is
in Limbo. Let’s kill It. J.D. Tuccille The fate of the U.S. Department of Education is currently in limbo. President Donald Trump came into office promising – among other things – to rid us of this unnecessary federal bureaucracy. Democrats, closely aligned with teachers unions, vowed to prevent him from doing anything of the sort. The Trump administration has offloaded many of the department's responsibilities and dismissed staff, but without a congressional vote to abolish the department, those decisions have been challenged in court. As it now stands, the bureaucratic behemoth has been hobbled but not yet disposed of. |

| Far-Left Teachers Are
Indoctrinating Children to Hate the West Joel Kotkin The breakdown in relations between the U.S.’s top teacher’s union, the National Education Association (NEA), and the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights group focused on tackling anti-Semitism, reflects a deeper and dangerous takeover of education by determined activists. Besides the usual financial demands, education is increasingly seen as a means to achieve progressive, even radical “social justice”, which of course means boycotting anything connected to Israel. The NEA is clearly taking political sides, claiming that it is pledging “to defend democracy against Trump’s embrace of fascism”. |

| California Illegal Immigrant Faked
ICE ‘kidnapping’ At Fast-Food Joint for Fundraiser Scam – As Family
Pleaded for Public’s Help Richard Pollina  An
illegal immigrant and mother was arrested for staging a fake
“kidnapping” – where bounty hunters took her at gunpoint and tried
forcing her to self-deport at a fast-food restaurant – to scam people
and “smear federal law enforcement.” “Dangerous rhetoric that ICE
agents are ‘kidnapping’ illegal immigrants is being recklessly peddled
by politicians and echoed in the media to inflame the public and
discredit our courageous federal agents,” U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli
said in a statement. “The conduct alleged in today’s complaint
shows this hoax kidnapping was a well-orchestrated conspiracy.”
The hoax kicked off when Calderon’s family and attorneys held a press
conference on June 30, saying armed men ambushed her in two unmarked
trucks at a Jack in the Box restaurant parking lot in downtown Los
Angeles. |

Accused of Decapitating Illinois Woman After Judge Set Him Free Immigration authorities in Chicago arrested a Mexican illegal immigrant accused of decapitating a missing Illinois woman and storing her body in a storage container filled with bleach. Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, 52, of Waukegan, Illinois, was arrested in April and charged with concealing a corpse, abusing a corpse and obstruction of justice, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Immediately after his first court appearance, Lake County Judge Randie Bruno released Mendoza-Gonzalez from custody. |

Democratic Rep. A Rhode Island state representative is under fire for condemning federal authorities who arrested a known MS-13 gang member on fentanyl trafficking charges. State Rep. Enrique Sanchez has doubled down on his criticism of federal immigration enforcement, even after learning that a recent arrest involved a self-admitted MS-13 gang member with fentanyl trafficking charges. The arrest occurred after Mendoza attempted to flee from ICE agents, causing a crash by striking ICE vehicles before running into his apartment, where he was eventually surrounded and surrendered. |

with Reporting Fake Crimes Against Immigrants in Visa Fraud Scheme Three current or former Louisiana police chiefs were among those indicted in an alleged scheme to drum up bogus crimes against immigrants so they could qualify for a special visa that allows noncitizen crime victims to remain in the U.S. The top cops allegedly took “hundreds” of bribes in exchange for filing false police reports detailing made-up crimes against the immigrants, which under certain circumstances would qualify them for a U-visa, creating a pathway to citizenship. |

Illegal Alien Rip Off U.S. Taxpayers to the Tune of $25 Million in Refunds A California tax return preparer pleaded guilty on Monday to helping an illegal alien fraudulently claim $25 million in refunds. The illegal alien, Mexican national Miguel Martinez, “led a scheme” between November 2019 and June 2023 “to file thousands of fraudulent tax returns that claimed millions of dollars in refunds,” according to a Department of Justice press release. He was assisted in this scheme by tax return preparer Victor Cruz, 40. “Martinez used stolen identities to create fake businesses and report phony wage and withholding information for the businesses to the IRS,” according to the DOJ. |

Common with Flying After being examined for swelling in the legs, President Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, according to a White House announcement. This condition, in which valves inside certain veins don’t work the way they should, allowing blood to pool or collect in the veins, is more common with age. Overall, chronic venous insufficiency affects about 1 in 20 adults, according to the Cleveland Clinic. When the valves in veins don’t work correctly, fluid can collect in the lower limbs and feet, explains Dr. Chauncey Crandall, world-renowned cardiologist and director of preventive medicine at the Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Florida. |

I mention this because an anonymous House Democrat – they’re always anonymous, aren’t they? – recently told Axios that their Trump-deranged grassroots base doesn’t think the Dems are being tough enough in their opposition to the juggernaut that is our 47th president.

| The Biggest Conservative Victory in
30 Years Stephen Moore Everyone knows that the "big, beautiful" tax bill signed into law on the Fourth of July lowers tax burdens for families and businesses. It also averts a $4 trillion tax increase starting next year. That's enough reason to heartily celebrate. But what isn't well known is that this new law doesn't just change tax policy. It includes dozens of other long-sought policy goals – what I call "hidden gems." Here is a list of some of the major policy victories: The law is the most aggressive federal advancement of school choice by allowing low-income parents to direct education dollars to private, charter or Catholic schools that are better for their kids. |

| Golden Age: Trump Tariffs Deliver
Surprise Budget Surplus The federal government posted an unexpected budget surplus in June, fueled by a sharp rise in tariff revenues and higher-than-anticipated tax receipts, marking a notable vindication for President Donald Trump’s economic strategy. The $27 billion surplus reported Friday by the Treasury Department stood in stark contrast to forecasts for a $50 billion deficit, representing one of the largest upside surprises in recent budget data. Monthly surpluses typically occur in April, when many Americans file their taxes. Surpluses are also common in January and September. A June surplus is highly unusual. |

| DNC Chair: The Democratic Party
Welcomes Those Who Want to Kill Jews Matt Margolis The Democratic Party has built its brand around “tolerance,” but in reality, that word has become a smokescreen for some of the most extreme, indefensible positions in modern politics. They call it women’s rights, but what they really mean is unrestricted abortion on demand – right up to birth. They label it transgender rights, but we’re talking about grown men exposing themselves to young girls and being celebrated for it. The party’s so-called “big tent” isn’t inclusive – it’s a sanctuary for fringe activism and moral decay. What once passed for liberalism has morphed into a disturbing embrace of chaos, all under the false banner of compassion. And now the Democrats’ special brand of tolerance includes violent antisemitism. |

 Brennan and the Clinton Russian-Collusion Cabal Mark Alexander As you may recall, last week CIA Director John Ratcliffe released the declassified report on a comprehensive review he ordered of the agency’s analysis on Russia collusion in the 2016 election. According to Ratcliffe: “[President Trump] has trusted me with helping to end weaponization of U.S. intelligence. [This] report underscores that the 2016 IC Assessment was conducted through an atypical and corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan and former FBI Dir. Comey. All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals – all to get Trump. Thank you to the career CIA officers who conducted this review and exposed the facts.” |

Governor Andrew Cuomo, before he was unceremoniously forced out of office, convinced state lawmakers to shell out over $100 million to purchase decorative LED lights to enhance the beauty of some of New York's most iconic bridges. The cost seems excessive, but this is the government. You have to make room for paying double or triple to satisfy all the people with their hands out – they need to make an excessive profit, pay exorbitant salaries to preferred workers, throw some money at consulting and design firms, and leave some money left over to recycle into political donations. |

| Reinstating
School Discipline Emmy Griffin It’s hard to explain to a non-teacher exactly what an educator experiences and works through during any given school day. Teaching is simultaneously the most rewarding and the most devastating of professions. As a former teacher, I remember one year when I had a student who was regularly defiant, disruptive, impulsive, and on some days a danger to his classmates. At one point I even had to prevent violence with an accessory aimed at a classmate; after being foiled, the unruly student deliberately whacked me with his arm. In spite of the constant interruptions from this student’s constant poor behavior, my class still managed to learn. As a private school teacher, these experiences were admittedly an anomaly. But such behavioral chaos is less rare for a public school teacher. |

Given what we just learned in a shocking new report about his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, he should be in prison. Here’s why. The CIA released fresh details yesterday about the creation nearly 10 years ago of the agency’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia's influence campaign in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It found that Russian President Vladimir Putin "aspired" to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the election. That assessment – ordered by then-President Barack Obama and executed by Brennan – ignited the Trump-Russia hoax that would haunt Trump’s presidency for four years. We’re now learning five key details Brennan used to cook the books to ensure maximum damage to Trump. |

All of this comes amid still evolving and often competing assessments, at least from what we know so far, about what the strikes on Iran actually achieved. |

| Ag Sec.Rollins Backs North
Carolina, Nation’s Pork Producers in California Tiff California, says the leader of the USDA and a North Carolina congressman, has the right to enforce its Proposition 12. The state line, however, is where that enforcement should end. “North Carolina pork producers have a friend at USDA in Secretary Brooke Rollins,” Rouzer said, expressing gratitude for her push back against Prop 12. “Secretary Rollins is right, California has the right to do what California wants to do, but NC-07 farm families feed the nation, and they deserve fair, science-based regulations, not California mandates.” |

Candidate Among Nine Indicted for Alleged Vote Harvesting in South Texas A South Texas grand jury this week reportedly indicted nine people, including the former chair of the Bexar County Democratic Party and a former Texas House candidate, for alleged vote harvesting in a sprawling investigation led by Attorney General Ken Paxton that has targeted Latino Democrats in the state. Among the indicted were Manuel Medina, who once led Bexar County Democrats ... The indictments add to six previous ones revealed by Paxton in May and are the latest escalation in a probe that last year resulted in search warrants that led Texas authorities to seize Castellano’s phone and raid Medina’s home. |

Organization Members Arrested Nationwide Federal agents have so far arrested more than 2,700 members of transnational criminal organizations designated as foreign terrorist organizations, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday. Among them are members of the violent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, which the Trump administration designated as an FTO in February. After Friday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling banning district judges from imposing nationwide injunctions, Bondi said, “No longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump's policies across the entire nation.” |

The records, which include communications between FBI officials ahead of the 2020 election, were recently declassified by FBI Director Kash Patel and transmitted to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. |

| New Law Banning Foreign Ownership
of Texas Land Goes Into Effect Sept. 1 As foreign espionage threats continue in the U.S. and in Texas, a new bill becomes law Sept. 1 that prohibits foreign ownership of Texas land. The Adversarial Land Ownership Act initially passed the Senate in March by a vote of 24-7. A watered-down version passed the House in May by a vote of 75-47 with Republicans and Democrats voting against it. Differences in the bill were ironed out in conference committee and each chamber voted to pass the bill with bipartisan support. Abbott signed the bill into law last month. |

Sentence for 'Dangerous Predator' Who Abused 2-Year-Old An ICE Homeland Security Investigations probe in Maryland led to the sentencing of a man who "used his position of authority" to sexually abuse a 2-year-old and who produced and distributed child sex abuse material online. U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander sentenced Maryland man Mark Rice, 38, to 30 years in federal prison and a lifetime of supervised release for producing and distributing child sexual abuse material.

| Illegal Alien Arrests Clear 250K, Self-Deportations in 'Tens of Thousands' Efforts by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to arrest illegal aliens have led to the detention of more than 250,000 people since President Donald Trump took office, averaging nearly 50,000 arrests per month. With the administration taking over in late January, those figures point to an arrest rate of roughly 50,000 per month, which would put the administration on course to arrest roughly 2.4 million people by the end of his term. But Trump has set an ambitious target of deporting all illegal aliens from the U.S., putting the total at 21 million. Thus far, however, deportations have fallen below the necessary rate to reach that goal, though McLaughlin was optimistic that the "Big, Beautiful Bill" would give DHS the resources it needs to ramp up arrests. |

for Delivering Protective Gear to Anti-ICE Protesters on Live TV A man who went viral after he was captured on live TV allegedly dropping off a pickup truck full of face shields for protesters to use amid demonstrations and riots in Los Angeles last month was indicted Wednesday. Alejandro Orellana, 29, is charged with conspiracy to aid and abet civil disorders. Federal prosecutors said Orellana met up with other people on June 9 to load up his Ford F-150 pickup truck with Uvex brand Bionic Face Shields, masks, water bottles and other items as anti-ICE protests raged in Los Angeles. He then drove the truck to a crowd of protesters and distributed the items, the Justice Department said. |

| Blue States with Net-Zero Emissions
Goals Consider Nuclear Power As Hopes for 100% Wind and Solar Fade New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), Monday directed the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to develop and construct a nuclear power plant of not less than one gigawatt. The new plant was needed, Hochul said in her announcement, in order “to support a reliable and affordable electric grid, while providing the necessary zero-emission electricity to achieve a clean energy economy.” It was a surprising announcement for a state that closed and dismantled the Indian Point nuclear power plant only five years ago. The consideration of nuclear in the energy mix is part of a pattern seen in other blue states committed to eliminating electricity generated from fossil fuels. California has now delayed the closure of its only nuclear power plant, and Michigan is looking to restart a previously shuttered nuclear power plant. |

| CBS to Pay Trump MASSIVE Sum in
Election Interference Case Matt Margolis What happens when a network gets caught red-handed trying to polish Kamala Harris’s trademark incoherence into something vaguely intelligible? CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, just learned the answer, and the fallout is nothing short of devastating. In a major legal victory, President Trump has secured a massive settlement over the now-infamous edited Harris interview – a payout so large and humiliating that it should shake the legacy media to its foundation. This isn’t just a win for Trump. It’s a blunt warning to every media outlet thinking about running cover for a flailing administration. Legacy Media Has Huge Meltdown at Trump's Victory Over CBS Matt Margolis As we reported on Wednesday, Donald Trump just scored a massive victory over the legacy media, and the fallout is nothing short of spectacular. For years, the left-wing press has operated on the assumption they could smear, distort, and outright fabricate without ever being held accountable – especially when it came to Trump. But CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, have agreed to pay an eight-figure settlement to Trump for their deceptive editing of an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. And now the left-wing media establishment is in full meltdown mode. |

Yet it was the Obama Federal Highway Administration (FHA) that rightly ruled in 2011 that crosswalk art is “contrary to the goal of increased safety and most likely could be a contributing factor to a false sense of security for both motorists and pedestrians.” |

pointed it out. There's also no punctuation whatsoever used. |

Yet Friday’s Trump v. CASA case included a virtual slugfest between Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The decision was one of the biggest of the term. The Court moved to free the Administration from an onslaught of orders from district judges seeking to block the President in areas ranging from the downsizing of government to immigration. However, it was the departure of the normally staid court analysis that attracted the most attention. |

| Who Counts? Trump Poised to Try to Remove Noncitizens from Census Benjamin Weingarten – Real Clear Investigations President Trump tried to end the practice during his first term, but President Biden overturned his predecessor’s policy before it was implemented. Now, buoyed by red state attorneys general and Republican legislators, the second Trump administration is determined “to clean up the census and make sure that illegal aliens are not counted,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller said last month. What Miller didn’t mention are the political implications of the administration’s move. It could have significant political implications because the census count is used to apportion House seats, determine the number of votes each state gets in the Electoral College for selecting the president, and drive the flow of trillions of dollars in government funds. |

The plant has generated significant controversy because of Ford’s partnership with China-based Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited, known as CATL, which closely collaborates with the Chinese military and government.

The rushed effort to vet scientists, especially from China, underscores the laissez-faire screening of foreign researchers that prevailed during the NIH’s leadership under Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci, who departed before Trump became president, officials said... That lax system persisted under Biden despite multiple warnings from the GAO of the risks of undue foreign influence or theft of federal research. |

| New York’s $75B Climate Shakedown
Would Be ‘Catastrophic’, Raise Energy Costs, States Warn A New York law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul that would impose as much as $75 billion in liabilities on major fossil fuel companies by forcing them to pay into a state “climate superfund” depending on their emissions would hurt way more than the firms themselves, West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey warned Friday. “It would be catastrophic, not just for the economies of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania, but the economies of every state,” McCuskey said, as those states are likely to see the most negative effects due to their role in powering New York’s grid. Net Stupid: UK’s Largest Fiberglass Factory Closing Over Soaring Energy Costs Britain’s largest producer of fiberglass, a key component in wind turbines and electric cars, is reportedly set to shut down in part due to the high energy costs in the United Kingdom. According to the BBC, the owners claimed that the factory operated at a £12 million loss last year due to increased competition from Chinese manufacturers, low sales, and the soaring cost of energy in Britain. Britain currently has some of the most expensive energy prices in the world, in large part as a result of the very same green agenda, which the Electric Glass Fiber UK factory assisted via its production of the critical component to wind turbines and electric cars. The Climate Scaremongers: UK Localities Are Wasting Billions On Overpriced Electric Buses Waste in government is, of course, rampant, but when it comes to climate change, it seems a case of anything goes, with no apparent budgetary control imposed. Just one comparatively minor example gives us a clue that the bill is much bigger than anybody could imagine.

| An Excellent Story on the Recent
History of the Trans Movement John Sexton I just read through this rather lengthy story published today at the NY Times. It's titled "How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost." While I don't agree with everything in the story, I do think this is a very fair and well rounded presentation of how we got where we are now, i.e. to a Supreme Court decision this week upholding a ban on gender affirming care in Tennessee. Along the road to Skrmetti, some believe, the L.G.B.T.Q. movement drove itself toward a cliff – and took the Democratic Party with it, chaining the Biden administration to one of the most divisive issues in American politics at a moment of shifting medical consensus and fierce polarization. “It’s one of the biggest mistakes in the history of trans activism,” said Brianna Wu, a trans woman who serves on the board of Rebellion PAC, a Democratic political-action committee. |

The topless woman – who presumably had a double mastectomy – feigns to present herself as a male in posting the video on TikTok under the moniker “Redacted Radical.” “You can just kill ICE agents, you know that? You can just kill them,” the unhinged woman said. “You don’t have to hold your phone in their face and ask people when their birthday is, and ask people what their name is, and then try to find where ever they end up in LA. You can just kill them.” Trans Extremism is Backfiring on Gay People John Sexton Andrew Sullivan has an excellent opinion piece in the NY Times today about how the gay rights movement became too radical for its own good. If you read this story last week offering a history of the trans movement then you already know what Sullivan is going to say. But he says it as someone on the inside of the gay rights movement who only gradually realized the train had gone off the track. |

| Red States to SCOTUS: Stop Stalling
and Protect Girls' Sports After Upholding Gender Transition Ban The Supreme Court left unresolved whether states can give primacy to biological sex over gender identity, a question that has divided lower courts nationwide, in its blockbuster decision upholding Tennessee's ban on medicalized gender transitions for youth, though individual justices in the majority promoted their own conclusions in concurrences. The most powerful nine jurists in America will consider whether to fill in the gaps from U.S. v. Skrmetti this week when, for the third time, they review petitions by West Virginia and Idaho to overrule courts that struck down their "fairness in women's sports" laws that prevent males from participating in opposite-sex school sports. |

| Trump Admin Targets 'ghost
students,' AI Scammers Stealing Tens of Million$ in Federal College Aid The Department of Education is cracking down on "ghost students," AI scammers and others whom they say have recently swindled of tens-of-millions of dollars from the federal government – including roughly $8.4 million alone from California community colleges. Within California's system of 116 community colleges, 31% of applications last year – or 1.2 million – were found to be likely fraudulent, according to data from the office of the chancellor for the college system. |

| Lockheed Martin Awarded Bonuses
Based on Race, According to Report If the U.S. is going to maintain its military edge in the 21st century it can’t rely on defense contractors that prioritize DEI over building the best warfighting tools. A report recently released by conservative journalist Christopher Rufo and co-author Ryan Thorpe alleges that defense contractor Lockheed Martin’s executives “were so committed to DEI policies that they awarded some year-end bonuses based on employees’ skin color, rather than performance – in open violation of civil rights law.” |

| Texas Teen Karmelo Anthony Indicted
on First-Degree Murder Charge in Stabbing Death of Austin Metcalf, 17  Texas
teenager Karmelo Anthony has been charged with first-degree murder in
connection with the stabbing death of a 17-year-old at a high school
track meet in April. Anthony, also 17, was indicted by a grand jury
Tuesday for allegedly killing Austin Metcalf after a dispute over a
seat at the University Interscholastic League’s District 11-5A
championship on April 2. The case drew outrage after Anthony was freed
on a $250,000 bond after the alleged stabbing, living it up with his
family in a $900,000 home in the luxurious gated community of Richwoods
in Frisco, Texas, where rent is an estimated $3,500 per month. A
neighbor said he even bought a new car after the alleged attack. Still,
he had convinced a judge to lower his bond from $1 million, citing
financial hardship. |

| Donald Trump On The Iran
Strikes: Pithy. Powerful. And To The Point. Bob Maistros Let’s not beat around the bush: as a speechwriter at the highest levels of politics and business for 45 years – including the most successful presidential campaign in history – this commentator can present you an undeniable truth. President Donald J. Trump’s remarks Saturday night in the wake of America’s “spectacular military success” striking Iran’s key nuclear facilities didn’t necessarily amount to an oration for the ages. But they did showcase a heroic man rising to a historic moment – and then some – with a pithy, powerful and pointed address. |

| The Latest Immigration
Numbers Practically Prove Joe Biden's Criminal Intent Matt Margolis The numbers don't lie, and they're absolutely devastating for Joe Biden's legacy. Border Czar Tom Homan dropped a bombshell on X Tuesday night that should have every American asking why we tolerated four years of Biden's border catastrophe. "In the last 24 hours the Border Patrol encountered a total of 95 illegal aliens across the entire southern border," Homan posted. "That is the lowest number EVER recorded. Compare that to the Biden administration, who surpassed more than 10,000 per day." |

| How the U.S. B-2 Bombers Made Their
37-Hour Journey to Strike Fordow – "Midnight Hammer"  The B-2 stealth bombers used to attack the Fordow nuclear enrichment plant are equipped with toilets, microwaves and usually a cooler for snacks to make life more comfortable for the pilots who were stuck in the cockpit for the 37-hour trip from Missouri to Iran and back. The fleet of advanced American bombers – originally designed to drop nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union – took off from the Whiteman Air Force Base outside Kansas City on Friday for an 18 hour ride across the world, refueling several times in mid-air, officials said.  |

| Trump's Iran Attack Catches World
Off-Guard After Fakeouts with B-2 Flights and 'Two Weeks' Timeframe Steven Nelson  President Trump caught the world off-guard Saturday by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites – after his apparently strategic deception indicating that such strikes weren’t imminent and trickery with the deployment of US Air Force B-2 bombers. Trump said Thursday he would make a decision in the “next two weeks” to allow more time for negotiations, giving the sense of reprieve amid fevered speculation he might join Israel’s airstrikes. |

| National Security Expert on the
Iran Strikes: Ending 50 Years of Iranian Hostility Victoria Coates, Maria Bartiromo "What happened last night, in my estimation, isn’t about starting another forever war in the Middle East, it’s about ending the longest one. 50 years, this has been going on with Iran. And last night, the president demonstrated that he’s not going to stand for this anymore after giving diplomacy every chance. He showed the Ayatollahs that he can reach out and touch them anytime." |

| How the U.S. Crippled Iran's
Nuclear Dreams Wallace White Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine laid out the details of the clandestine operation to cripple Iran’s key nuclear sites in a briefing alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to reporters at the Pentagon on Sunday. With careful timing and under absolute secrecy, the U.S. carried out “Operation Midnight Hammer” on Saturday night, targeting Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites in an unprecedented strike that dished out “extremely severe damage” to the sites, Caine told reporters Sunday. As the bombers make their way home, the world now awaits how Iran will respond to the attacks, with the country’s decision determining the future of the Middle East. |

Iran Bombing, Admits Harris Would’ve Lacked the ‘Courage’ Harold Hutchison A former staffer for former Presidents Bill Clinton and Joe Biden admitted Sunday that former Vice President Kamala Harris would not have displayed “the courage or fortitude” to take out Iran’s nuclear program. “I voted for Kamala Harris and have been a vocal critic of many dangerous and undemocratic actions taken by President [Donald] Trump. But I’m not a blind tribalist and am perfectly comfortable praising President Trump for bold and courageous actions in support of America’s core national interests, as he took last night,” Metzl posted. |

Iran Says It Will Block Strait of
Hormuz, Stop Oil Shipments Iran
is reportedly saying it will block the Strait of Hormuz and stop oil
shipments for what amounts to around 20% of the world's daily oil flow
and up to $1 billion, which will send oil prices soaring globally. Iran
has no legal authority to block traffic through Hormuz, and blockage
would mean direct combat with U.S. naval assets, including the U.S.
Fifth Fleet warships patrolling the region. Iran's Supreme National
Security Council must make the final decision on whether to close the
Strait of Hormuz following U.S. bombing raids, Iran's Press TV said
Sunday, after parliament was reported to have backed the measure. |

| Pelosi Raked in Millions Last Year
— and Her Portfolio Out-Performed Every Large Hedge Fund with Stunning Returns Gabrielle Fahmy Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) raked in between $7.8 and $42.5 million in 2024 – meaning her estimated net worth with venture capitalist hubby Paul Pelosi could now top out at $413 million, new financial disclosures showed. The staggering sum is an eye-popping jump from 2023, when financial disclosures showed the couple’s net worth topping out at a possible $370 million. Pelosi’s exact net worth is not known because lawmakers are only required to disclose ranges. A large chunk of the couple’s fortune has come from a sizable stock portfolio and timely trades, all done in Paul Pelosi’s name. |

Widespread Censorship Jarrett Stepman Big Tech’s censorship of Americans is a threat to free speech rights according to a long list of comments submitted to the Federal Trade Commission. In February, FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson announced that his agency sought comments from Americans about situations in which they were censored by Big Tech companies. “Big Tech censorship is not just un-American, it is potentially illegal. The FTC wants your help to investigate these potential violations of the law,” Ferguson wrote. |

Rise – and Legacy Media Fades Glenn H. Reynolds If you don’t follow the press, you are uninformed, goes the old saw; if you do follow the press, you are misinformed.

| What If the Foundation of the
Climate Scare Was a Calculated Lie? I & I Editorial Carbon dioxide, we’ve been told over and again, is the enemy that must be subdued if we are to avoid catastrophic global warming. It is, however, a faulty premise. Physics, not politics, tells us that man’s CO2 emissions will not cause catastrophic climate change nor an increase in extreme weather. “The common belief that CO2 is the main driver of climate change and the EPA Endangerment Finding assertion that ‘elevated concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may reasonably be anticipated’ to endanger the public health and welfare are scientifically false,” conclude the authors of a new paper. |

| Australian Coal Plants Falling
Apart Due to Neglect, Wind Power Useless -- “We nearly saw widespread outages” The Net Zero Forced Transition Is Just Vandalism of a Perfectly Good Electricity Grid Jo Nova The Victorian state electricity grid is running close to the wire. They’ve run their largest coal plants into the ground -- to the point of neglect where an air duct “detached from the boiler end and fell to the floor”. So one 380MW unit will be out of action at Yallourn for two weeks. And it’s just the latest in an ongoing series of failures.

| EPA Gets Moving on Its Push for
Energy Deregulation Francis Menton Now coming into view are the specifics of EPA’s strategy to end the Obama/Biden efforts to strangle the energy sector of the economy in the name of “saving the planet” from climate change. A document released by EPA last week on June 11 lays out the plan for repeal of the absurd (and dangerous) regulation that would have ended use of fossil fuels to generate electricity by some time in the 2030s. This EPA document is particularly interesting for the way it treats – and effectively sidelines – the so-called Endangerment Finding, the 2009 regulatory action that is the basis for all of the Obama/Biden fossil fuel suppression efforts. |

| EPA Administrator Zeldin Announces
Proposal to Repeal Biden-Era Climate Rules Regarding Power Plants Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a proposal Wednesday to repeal the Biden administration’s regulations on fossil-fuel power plants – often referred to as the Clean Power Plan 2.0. The EPA is also proposing a repeal of Biden’s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. Zeldin stressed that the proposed repeals are not final rules. They will go through a formal rule-making process that includes public comment. He also explained that the repeals, if finalized, will not allow plants to emit more than they do today. Standards set prior to 2024 would still be in effect, even if the proposed rule is finalized. |

| Australia’s Oldest Commercial Wind
Farm to Close As Cost of Repowering Is Too High In a first clue as to what might be the future for some ageing wind farms sites, renewable energy company Pacificn Victoria. The 18.2 megawatt (MW) Codrington wind farm was commissioned in 2001 Blue says it will not repower the country’s oldest commercial wind farm at Codrington iand will be decommissioned in 2027, a Pacific Blue spokesperson told Renew Economy on Monday. Despite an enviable location near Port Fairy in southwest Victoria, which benefited from the same southern ocean winds that drew the federal government to the offshore Southern Wind zone, repowering the site will be too expensive, the company says. |

| Eco Bullies Face Blowback As
Greenpeace Takes $660M Legal Hit Michael McKenna When Greenpeace lost a recent $660 million case over its organization of a violent pipeline protest, the most unusual part of the story was neither the jury confirming that environmental organizations do this sort of thing all the time (they do) nor the size of the verdict (although that was impressive). The most interesting part of the story was that an energy company and its top executive had finally stood up to the strong-arm tactics routinely employed by professional environmental political operatives and grifters rather than caving to their ridiculous demands. In 2016, Greenpeace deployed operatives and assorted stooges to North Dakota to organize opposition to a pipeline being constructed by Energy Transfer, based in Texas. |

Lawsuit to Stop Empire Wind, Arguing Feds’ Greenlighting Violated Law  A
coalition of environmental groups from New Jersey to Massachusetts is
asking the courts to halt a 54-turbine project south of Long Island,
New York, known as Empire Wind, after the Trump administration put the
brakes on the project, then reversed course. In April, the

| Green Group with Ties to Chinese
Communist Party Part of Network Influencing U.S. Policy A national-security watchdog group is asking members of Congress to take a closer look at an energy transition advocacy nonprofit that has ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to State Armor, the watchdog group, nonprofits are coordinating with U.S. climate groups to influence climate policy, advance the interests of the CCP and undermine U.S. national security. A new report by State Armor argues that the CCP is co-opting the American progressive climate change lobby to advance a transition away from fossil fuels. The alternative technologies being pushed by this lobby, according to the report, create significant economic and geopolitical advantages by undermining U.S. energy dominance and leaving it dependent on Chinese supply chains for its energy production. |

| Copper Thieves Cause Widespread Internet Power Outage in Southern California Leslie Eastman Last year, I noted that between the escalating price of copper and organized crime, copper theft was becoming a significant issue. Interestingly, one of the hardest hit groups are electric vehicle owners, as charging stations are often a target of metal thieves. Copper theft has become a major and growing problem across California, with Los Angeles and Ventura County experiencing frequent and increasingly disruptive incidents. Thieves target copper wiring from public infrastructure, utilities, and telecommunications, causing widespread outages, safety hazards, and costly repairs. This weekend, for example, the metal theft incident led to a widespread internet outage. |

| Report: Regional Power Grid
Prepared for Hotter, Wetter Summer Pennsylvania’s utility companies say they’re prepared for a summer of high electricity demand and weather-related threats, according to a new report. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, or PUC, on Wednesday, released the 2025 Summer Readiness Overviews submitted by the Commonwealth’s major electric distribution companies and PJM, the regional electric grid operator. PJM manages power flow for 13 states in the mid-Atlantic and Midwest and the nation's capital city. Louisiana Ratepayers on the Hook for $470M in Data Center Infrastructure Entergy is constructing infrastructure that will cost more than $3 billion for Meta’s data center in Richland Parish, $470 million of which ratepayers will be on the hook for, according to filings with the Louisiana Public Service Commission and the Midcontinent Independent Service Operator. That $470 million includes a new 60-mile transmission line from the Mount Olive substation to the Sarepta switching station. Meta has committed to paying for the remaining upgrades and their load share for 15 years. Amazon Pledges $20B for New Data Centers in Pennsylvania The week begins with a historic first, the largest capital investment in Pennsylvania history. Amazon’s commitment of $20 billion for data centers promises to change the state’s landscape for years to come. The first of the two centers will be built in Luzerne County and Bucks County where the projects promised to deliver at least 1,250 jobs. “Amazon's multi-billion-dollar investment in Pennsylvania reinforces our dedication to advancing AI innovation while creating lasting economic opportunities in the state,” said David Zapolsky, Amazon's chief global affairs and legal officer. “We look forward to helping drive the next generation of technology innovation, while delivering meaningful benefits for Pennsylvania residents.” N.

| SPLC Finally Clears Up ‘Major
Misconception’ About Whether It Is ‘Anti-Christian’ Tyler O'Neil If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably not an ostrich. If a leftist group cited by the FBI puts Christian nonprofits on a “hate map” and says Christian moral theology is evidence of “hate,” it’s probably anti-Christian – even if it swears to high heaven that’s not true. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which the FBI cited in its notorious memo on “radical traditional Catholics,” puts conservative Christian nonprofits on a “hate map” alongside chapters of the Ku Klux Klan, claiming they are part of the “infrastructure upholding white supremacy.” |

| NY State Tried to Force a Christian
Photographer to Work Same-Sex Weddings – A Judge Said 'Nope' A federal judge has blocked the state of New York from forcing a Christian photographer to work same-sex weddings, which goes against her religious beliefs. U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci Jr. of the District Court for the Western District of New York granted Emilee Carpenter, the photographer, a preliminary injunction shielding her from being compelled to violate her religious beliefs. Carpenter owns and operates a wedding photography business in New York. Attorney General Letitia James’s office took action to compel her to service same-sex weddings, which prompted Carpenter to file the lawsuit. |

| Another Spike in the Vaccine Coffin? Professor Angus Dalgleish On top of the cardiac, blood clotting and many autoimmune diseases such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) that the vaccine has triggered, it is now accepted that the rise in cancer cases, especially the newly identified ‘turbo’ cancers are indeed associated in particular with the booster shots. Most published scientific papers pointing out these issues are plagued by efforts to have the papers retracted. It is therefore worth highlighting a current Japanese study, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in cerebral Arteries: Implications for hemorrhagic stroke Post-mRNA vaccination, recently published in the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience. It clearly shows the presence of the COV-SARS-2 spike protein in cerebral arteries. |

Illinois Gov. J.B.

| Coffee May Help You Live Longer,
But Skip the Extra Sugar Drinking a cup or two of coffee every day may help you live longer – but only if you skip the heavy cream and sugar, new research suggests. The research, published in The Journal of Nutrition, found that black coffee or coffee with just a little sugar and saturated fat was tied to a lower risk of premature death. But when people drank coffee with lots of sweeteners or cream, the health benefits disappeared. "Coffee is among the most-consumed beverages in the world, and with nearly half of American adults reporting drinking at least one cup per day, it's important for us to know what it might mean for health," senior author Fang Fang Zhang of Tufts University said in a news release. |

school is supposed to be about – reading, math, science, etc. When the

wearing a short skirt that's part of a pink and white frilly schoolgirl

The sign in the front of the school bus window reads, "The Lolita

| Illegals Out, Wages Up: The Quiet Labor Shift Behind Trump’s Self-Deportation Plan Dmitri Bolt While most Americans have their eyes on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and the fallout culminating in riots and protests across the country, only a few have paid any attention to the quiet exodus of illegal immigrants. President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security offered illegal immigrants the chance to voluntarily deport from the United States. This program incentivizes self-deportations with a $1,000 stipend, offers cost-free travel, forgives the failure-to-deport fines, and deprioritizes arrests and detentions for those who register for the program. |
