soon find their place in urban
life, they soon adopt, externally, town manners and opinions, but for a

Biden’s 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.  The Biden Admin Stole 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." |

| Tulsi Gabbard Details Bombshell 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. |

| Tulsi Gabbard 'cannot fathom' How Durham, Mueller Missed Evidence of 'years-long coup' Against Trump  Director
of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (DNI) was baffled by how special
counsels run by Robert Mueller and John Durham missed evidence of what
she alleged was a “years-long coup against President Trump.” On Friday,
Gabbard’s team made public over 100 pages of memos, emails, and other
material that revealed the Obama administration had quietly concluded
Russia did not impact the 2016 election’s vote totals via cyberattacks. |

| Pete King to Newsmax: Hold Obama Team Accountable on Russia Claims Former Rep. Pete King, who was on the House Intelligence Committee during President Donald Trump's first term in office, said Sunday on Newsmax that he hopes revelations made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about actions allegedly undertaken by the Obama administration to undermine the election will "hold people accountable." "That was a scandal from beginning to end," the New York Republican said on "Wake Up America Weekend," adding that "what the Democrats were doing" against Trump was "the worst disgrace ever." | |
| More Whistleblowers Want to Speak Out on Anti-Trump Plot That Began Under Obama, Tulsi Gabbard Says Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Sunday that whistleblowers were coming forward since the release of documents and a memo detailing the Obama administration’s efforts to undermine President Donald Trump after the 2016 election. “We have whistleblowers … coming forward now, after we released these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community who so disgusted by what happened, we’re starting to see some of them come out of the woodwork here because they, too, like you and I and the American people, want to see justice delivered,” Gabbard told “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo. “So we’re going to provide everything that we have, everything that we will continue to gather to the Department of Justice for that direct intent and that direct purpose.” |

| Desperate Dem Strategist Hopes for Economic Collapse to Save Party from 'Nightmare' Some Democratic strategists are so desperate for the party to start performing better, that they’re hoping for the economy to tank. A report from The Hill on Tuesday quoted several Democratic strategists reflecting on what they see as the dismal state of the Democratic Party. One said the party should be "praying" for a depression as a lifeline for their declining popularity following President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory. "This is a nightmare scenario for the Dems right now," an anonymous strategist told the outlet. "We better pray long and hard that the country is going to be in a [terrible] depression, because I don’t know how else we find ourselves out of this mess." |

| Trump’s Housing Chief Rips Powell for Blowing Millions on Fed Facelift During Housing Crisis He Perpetuates The Federal Reserve's headquarters has been undergoing a major renovation that has been plagued by cost overruns and now has a price tag of $2.5 BILLION. Meanwhile, the Trump administration faults Powell for not cutting interest rates, even with inflation seemingly under control. "It’s rich that an unelected bureaucrat like Powell is wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on building renovations while Americans struggle to buy homes due to high mortgage rates, which are directly impacted by his refusal to lower interest rates," Turner told Fox News Digital. | |
| Here’s What the Left Doesn’t Want You to Know About the Inflation Report Matt Margolis The June inflation report just dropped, and right on cue, the left's spin machine is in full swing. 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. | |
| "Shifty Mortgages?" California Sen. Adam Schiff Under Fire Over Long-Dormant Fraud Allegations Long-standing allegations of mortgage fraud are resurfacing against California Senator Adam Schiff, drawing renewed attention to discrepancies in his declared primary residence and past refinancing activities involving entities such as Fannie Mae. While some sources indicate the statute of limitations for these alleged offenses may have expired, President Donald Trump has reignited the conversation with strong accusations on Truth Social. |

| Biden: I Made All the Pardon Decisions. NYT: Well ... Maybe? Ed Morrissey When you've lost the New York Times ... Joe Biden wants us all to know how offended he is over suggestions that he didn't make all the decisions in his presidency. The umbrage Biden had taken turned out to be great enough for him to grant a telephone interview to the Gray Lady to refute all suggestions otherwise. But even if the Old Gray Mare ain't what she used to be, even the NYT can't quite reconcile the sheer volume of autopenned clemency actions with the idea that Biden approved all of his pardons and commutations personally and knowingly. |

| 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. |

| America’s Ice Cream Makers Agree to Major Recipe Change Thanks to MAHA The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda is not just a catchy slogan; it’s a movement that is seeing actual wins in the public health arena. On Monday, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Mary Makary joined forces to announce that artificial dyes will be phased out by the end of 2027. “40 companies – representing 90% of the ice cream volume sold in the U.S.– have pledged to eliminate artificial food dyes from their products,” Kennedy posted on X. |

Discussing Drone 'Mega Deal' with Ukraine – As U.S. Tech Lags Behind
Adversaries: 'the People of America Need This Technology' President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, are considering a “mega deal” that would see the U.S. buy battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kyiv agreeing to buy a swath of weapons from America, the Ukrainian leader said. Speaking exclusively with The Post on Wednesday, Zelensky revealed that his latest talks with Trump focused on a breakthrough deal that would see the U.S. and Ukraine prop up each other’s aerial technology – with Kyiv offering to share everything it’s learned about modern warfare in the three-year conflict with Russia. | |
| Eurofighter Typhoon Canopy-Shattering Bird Strike Captured in Amazing Images  Every
year, tens of thousands of birds strike aircraft around the world, but
not many of those are caught on camera. But one Spanish photographer
captured some incredible images of just such an occurrence involving
not just any plane, but a Spanish Air Force EF2000 Eurofighter Typhoon
undergoing a high-performance air show routine. This particular strike
happened at the Aire 25 air show in Spain last month. Javier Alonso de
Medina Salguero was at the base of the spotter area, photographing the

| Now, the Left Has Plunged to a New Low: Weaponizing the Courts with a Lawsuit in Washington State Jason Isaac They twist yesterday’s weather into tomorrow’s crisis, peddle apocalyptic forecasts that fizzle, and swap “global warming” for “climate change” whenever the narrative demands. They sound the alarm on a so-called climate emergency – again and again. Now, the Left has plunged to a new low: weaponizing the courts with a lawsuit in Washington State that marks a brazen, desperate escalation. This isn’t just legal maneuvering – it’s the exploitation of personal tragedy in service of an unpopular anti-energy climate crusade. |

| With Trump Back in the White House, JAMA Has Stepped Up Its Anti-Gun Fiction Campaign Lee Williams Doctors are increasing their anti-gun fight against President Donald J. Trump’s pro-gun policies and ideas – taking it to heights never seen under Joe Biden – by publishing more fictional stories based on anti-gun sources than ever before, and the Journal of the American Medical Association, known as JAMA, cannot publish the biased untruths fast enough. When Biden occupied the White House, JAMA only published an anti-gun story every couple of months. However, under President Trump, this has changed dramatically. |

| Report: Biden-Harris Admin Funded Anti-Netanyahu NGOs with Taxpayer Dollars Vijeta Uniyal The Biden-Harris administration funded left-wing NGOs in order to undermine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, a 14-page memo released by the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday says. 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. | |
| ICE Arrests Illegal Immigrant 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. | |
| ‘Leave MS-13 Alone!’ Says 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. | |
| Louisiana Police Chiefs Charged 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. | |
| Tax Expert Admits to Helping 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. |

| Dr. Crandall: Trump's Leg Swelling 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. |

Death-Wish Dems Douglas Andrews At the risk of dating myself, I remember Death Wish, the 1974 movie in which Charles Bronson plays a mild-mannered New York City architect who resorts to vigilantism after three thugs break into his apartment while he’s at work, murdering his wife and raping his daughter. 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. According to this lawmaker: “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when protesting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility or federal agency. |

Blood to Stop Trump Matt Margolis In a development that should send chills down the spine of every American who still believes in the rule of law, Axios has reported a disturbing new reality inside the Democratic Party. According to the article, Democratic members of Congress are facing a tidal wave of pressure from their own base – not to legislate, not to persuade, but to abandon all pretense of civility and embrace outright violence and lawlessness in their battle against Donald Trump and his allies. Democratic lawmakers are being bombarded with demands to “fight dirty,” to disregard the norms that have held this republic together for centuries, and to risk their own safety for the sake of political spectacle. |

| 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. |

‘There’s like, no downside’ Trump budget chief Russell Vought proclaimed that there were no “downsides” to the “big, beautiful bill” in a Fox Business appearance Monday, the latest in a series of praises for the GOP’s landmark piece of legislation. “It is a home run. There’s like, no downside to this bill. This is not one where you have to say pros and cons. It’s all good,” Vought said on Larry Kudlow’s show. |

Billionaire’s Niece In what reads less like grassroots support and more like ideological laundering, the group “Jews for Zohran” -- formed to deflect antisemitism accusations against anti-Israel NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani -- is being spearheaded by the niece of a Marxist billionaire with deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Meet Alicia Singham Goodwin, who helped launch “Jews for Zohran” in January as part of a coordinated effort to give Mamdani political cover while attempting to sway Jewish voters. |

| 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.” |

Brennan is currently a Senior National Security Analyst for NBC. Now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., spoke on the John Solomon Reports podcast for Just the News on Monday, arguing that the Justice Department should investigate Brennan over his denials about pushing to include the Steele dossier in the ICA.

| This Is Peak Government... David Strom It sounded like a great idea. 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. |

"There may be ways we can use the power of the purse, which is, again, what the founders thought, that was the biggest power that the legislative branch had relative to the others," Jordan said Monday night on the Just the News, No Noise TV show.

Mosab Hassan Yousef knows from personal experience both that not every young Muslim is irreclaimable, but that many of them are.

| Wisconsin Judge Who Helped Illegal
Alien Avoid ICE Suffers Legal Setback in Federal Criminal Case James Nault We have been closely monitoring the federal criminal case out of Wisconsin concerning Wisconsin state judge Hannah Dugan, who allegedly helped an illegal alien flee ICE arrest by letting him exit her courthouse out a private back door normally inaccessible to the public. This case is extremely important because it would cause havoc if state (or federal) judges could freely violate federal law and thwart valid prosecution of criminal illegal aliens, many of whom appear before such judges all the time and many of whom have been charged, as in this case, with very serious crimes. |

What followed on American college campuses further shocked American Jews. Rather than mourning or condemning Hamas’s atrocities, many individuals and student groups celebrated them, excused them or blamed Israel. Chants of “globalize the intifada” and “from the river to the sea” spread across universities. Students praised “martyrs” and justified violence. |

| 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. |

Pitcher Left Out of All-State Selections A transgender high school pitcher in Minnesota was not included in an annual coaches' poll of All-State selections despite a dominant season that ended with a championship. The trans athlete, Marissa Rothenberger [formerly Charlie Dean] of Champlin Park High School, was absent from the Minnesota Fastpitch Coaches Association list of 2025 All-State honors... Rothenberger's presence in Minnesota girls softball brought national scrutiny, a lawsuit and a federal investigation this year. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched a Title IX investigation into the state of Minnesota June 27, citing a male softball pitcher who had won a state championship. Three softball players in Minnesota filed a lawsuit against the state, citing their experiences competing against a biological male. |

Although religious liberty has been around since the Founding, its exercise in schools via opt-outs has become newly urgent with the spread of woke curricula. |

Grant after Backlash Baylor University will “rescind their acceptance” of a $643,000 grant to promote LGBT “inclusion and belonging” in Christian churches, university President Linda Livingstone announced Wednesday in a letter published on the university website. The school announced the grant in a June 30 press release (which has been deleted from their website), but nine days later, the Baptist university “voluntarily offered” to return the money after pushback. The grant would facilitate LGBT-identifying young adults to discuss their experience of “institutional betrayal” in churches, which “might involve exclusion from church activities, family estrangement, and painful conflicts.” It would also aim to “nurture institutional courage and foster change.” |

| John Brennan Was My Boss
at the CIA. He Belongs in Prison Bryan Dean Wright Former CIA Director John Brennan was once my boss. 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. |

A senior Trump administration official, who declined to be named in order to describe a private discussion, told Just the News that the main reason for Thursday’s closed-door meeting with defense company leaders – which included well-known firms such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and BAE Systems – was to seek to hold munitions manufacturers accountable so that U.S. warfighters are equipped to face 21st century threats. |

To meet their need for electricity, tech companies are turning to natural gas to provide power, which has made AI a target of environmentalists. When tech titan Elon Musk enters the picture, the controversy only grows louder. Musk’s xAI company built a data center in Memphis, Tennessee, last year. According to the Memphis Chamber of Commerce, the facility will bring up to 500 well-paying jobs to the city.

The deep state, the Times told us in May 2024, was “kind of awesome,” in that it imposed far-left policies upon the American people no matter who the president was and what he wanted. But Trump moved decisively as he began his second term, firing numerous government employees who were determined to obstruct his agenda. There’s just one problem: many of them are still on the job. |

The hole was made during testing of the MOP ... We spoke to Stradling about his observations of the testing that led up to the MOP and its recent use against Iranian nuclear facilities during Operation Midnight Hammer ... The questions and answers were lightly edited for clarity.  Everything We Just Learned About the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator Strikes on Iran [26jun2025] The Pentagon has shared extensive new information about the use of 30,000-pound GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker buster bombs in recent strikes on Iran, a mission it says was 15 years in the making. Additional details have also been provided about how the specific need to hold the deeply buried Iranian enrichment facility at Fordow at risk was a primary design driver for the MOP program and its evolution. 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

However, it was the departure of the normally staid court analysis that attracted the most attention. |

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. |

| Analysis: Blue-Collar Wages Rise as
Illegal Immigration Declines S.A. McCarthy As President Donald Trump and his administration work on expanding deportation operations, the White House is reporting that blue-collar workers have seen the most significant growth in wages in over half a century. “In President Donald Trump’s first five months in office, real wages for hourly workers have seen their largest increase under any administration in nearly 60 years – and we’re just getting started with pro-growth, pro-prosperity policies that finally put America First,” the White House reported this week. Blue-collar American workers have seen an increase of 1.7% in real wages over the past five months. |

| Kash Patel Announces Arrest of Top Democrat Staffer in Major Scandal FBI Director Kash Patel is speaking out about the new bribery charges tied to a former aide to Governors Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul, all connected to a shady PPE (personal protective equipment) scheme that exploded during the pandemic. That aide, Linda Sun, is now facing even more serious allegations. Not only is she accused of taking part in a massive fraud operation, but also of secretly working as a foreign agent for Communist China. It’s a case that has the Trump administration raising red flags about just how deep the disloyalty runs inside America’s political machine. Patel says the FBI won’t let it slide. |

| Chinese Military-Tied Company
Appears to Be Choosing New Hires at Ford Battery Plant Company Steven Richards A Chinese company appears to be in charge of hiring workers for Ford’s new battery plant in Michigan, contradicting the company’s statements that it will be an American-owned and operated project, and amplifying concerns from locals about potential national security implications. 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 U.S. Defense Department earlier this year marked CATL as a Chinese Military Company to warn American firms about the risks of doing business. |

| Trump Administration Secretly
Probing Hundreds of Scientists from 'Countries of Concern' Like China The Trump administration has secretly launched an intensive vetting process for hundreds of foreign scientists brought into the United States from "countries of concern" like China, using visas procured with the help of the National Institutes of Health and other federal research agencies, officials told Just the News. 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. Last year, Warrington Borough Council announced it was replacing its fleet of 105 buses with shiny new electric ones, courtesy of a £20 million government grant. Small beer, you might say. |

| 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. |

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.

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.

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. |

Falsely Claiming Vets Could Be Denied Care The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs slammed a Democrat governor who sent out a mass email falsely claiming that veterans could be denied care based on how they voted, even after the initial report had been changed and both the VA and the White House said it was false. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who has an eye on national politics, said he told state agencies to "take every available action to protect veterans' access to care" after "reports that the Trump administration is proposing rules that would allow VA providers to deny military veterans healthcare based on their marital status and political affiliation." |

| 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. |

| Elementary Kids Forced to Ride the
'Lolita Line' to School Sarah Anderson  Imagine
this: You have a daughter in, say, first or second grade. Let's call
her little Olivia. You take her to the bus stop on the first day of
school, and she's bright-eyed and ready to take on all the things
school is supposed to be about – reading, math, science, etc. When the
bus pulls up, the driver is quite obviously a man, but he's
wearing a short skirt that's part of a pink and white frilly schoolgirl
costume.
The sign in the front of the school bus window reads, "The Lolita
Line." I don't know what you would do, but I'd take little Olivia and
run like hell and probably start homeschooling ASAP. |

| 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. |

| The Joe Biden Riots I & I Editorial Board The National Guard was called in to California to protect law enforcement officers who are executing legitimate operations from the feral mobs. Had the previous president fulfilled his constitutional duty, as he promised he would when he took the oath of office, the spasm of violence over illegal immigrant arrests would have never happened, and President Donald Trump would have never had to make that call. The scenes in Los Angeles are disturbing. An assortment of thugs, screeching harridans, and nothing-else-to-do troublemakers have been blocking and physically confronting officers, hurling bricks and rocks at them, setting fire to private property, destroying taxpayer-owned property, taking over streets, looting, and terrorizing businesses. Protests? An exercise in free speech? It feels like an insurrection. |

in on Army Parade, Now Having Lots of Fun at Event Nick Arama Democrats have been losing their minds about the 250th birthday of the Army celebration in Washington, D.C. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's reaction was pretty disgusting – acting like he was horrified by seeing the preparations, and even hoping they will be rained on. Too bad, Tim; so far, it looks like a beautiful day. There were other Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) who attacked the event, claiming it is somehow a celebration by President Donald Trump of his birthday and that the cost of $45 million is too much. But they had been preparing for the event for the past two years. Plus, Democrats have absolutely no credibility when it comes to talking about costs, given everything they have wasted money on. They finally discovered discretion – when it's about honoring our military. |

As 'Enemy Number One' with Assassination Plot Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed in his first interview since Israel launched its blistering attacks on Iran that the country's Islamic regime had pinpointed President Donald Trump as a threat to its nuclear program and actively worked to assassinate him. "They want to kill him. He's enemy number one. He's a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with them in a way that is weak, giving them basically a pathway to enrich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb, padding it with billions and billions of dollars," the prime minister told Fox News' Bret Baier during a special Sunday edition of "Special Report." |

And you have to admit, even if you are not a fan of Israel (I am), they are damn good at this war thing. Everybody was blown away by the masterful planning and execution of Operation Grim Beeper – the decapitation strike against Hezbollah using Israeli-made beepers – but Operation Rising Lion takes things to a whole new level. The attack was years in the making – not just in planning, but in execution well within Iran's borders. |

in 'Politically Motivated Assassination' of Lawmaker and Husband A crazed killer with a political grudge allegedly donned a police uniform and a creepy Halloween mask as he shot one Minnesota state lawmaker to death and wounded another in a slaying that shocked the nation Saturday. A masked and uniformed Vance Luther Boelter – who was a political appointee of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz – shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in their Champlin home early Saturday, leaving them seriously injured. Gunman Targeting State Lawmakers Kills Former Minnesota House Speaker Matt Margolis In what appears to be one of the most brazen and disturbing political attacks in recent memory, Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were gunned down in their home early Saturday morning in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Governor Tim Walz wasted no time calling it a “politically motivated assassination.” State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times in a separate but seemingly coordinated attack at their Champlin home. Both underwent surgery, and according to Walz, there’s “cautious optimism” about their survival. Still, two homes, two couples, targeted in the middle of the night – it’s hard not to connect the dots. Ex-Vikings Player Blames Tim Walz for Minnesota Lawmaker Killings: 'Example of a weak, emasculated leader' Former Minnesota Vikings and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer spoke out about the early-morning shootings that left one state lawmaker and her husband dead and a second lawmaker and his wife injured.

Documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on May 28 revealed that, under the Biden administration, 61 percent of purported domestic terrorism investigations were tied to events of Jan. 6. Even more alarming, the documents showed the government admitted that 78 percent of alleged domestic terrorism arrests in 2021 came from the single-day protest. |

Since President Donald Trump assumed office – a man accused of waging a “war on science” – revelations have shown that, when it came to previous administrations, sometimes science was either shaped to serve preferred policies or dismissed when it didn’t support them. Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed in March that the Biden-Harris administration had completed a study on liquefied natural gas exports prior to enacting a pause on export permits, the stated intention of which was to complete such a study. Wright stated that the Biden-Harris administration didn’t like what the study said, so they set out to produce one that would support the climate policies they wanted. |

Normally, we’d all be celebrating good news like this. But not when Donald Trump is sitting in the White House. Then it must be ignored or explained away. Ever since Trump took office, we’ve been treated to a steady diet of doom-saying. His tariffs would fuel inflation. He was driving the economy toward a recession. When the Commerce Department reported a slight contraction in the first quarter – so slight that future revisions could show that the economy expanded in the first three months – the same cast of characters started shouting “See, we told you so!” But then the data started coming in, and suddenly those voices went silent.

After the issuance of the federal grand jury, the United States is likely the last place on Earth that Abrego Garcia wanted to visit.

| Guess How Much D.C. Dems Wasted on Streetcars They’re Now Ditching? Catherine Salgado The streetcar left much to be desired. The Democrat-run city of Washington, D.C., is derailing its $200 million boondoggle streetcar system only 10 years after the streetcars began to operate. Oh well, $200 million of our hard-earned taxpayer funds down the drain – on to the next expensive wasteful project! The costly D.C. streetcar system, only 2.2 miles long, is going into the trash heap 15 years after the track was first laid and only a decade into operations. The streetcars were justified originally as being more “environmentally friendly” – Dems love to shove in the climate hoax everywhere – and more accessible. They were also meant to be more “aesthetically pleasing.” Instead, the streetcar system was a cash-draining catastrophe and will soon be replaced again with buses. |

| An Abandoned Ship Full of EVs is
Burning in the Pacific A cargo ship transporting 3,000 cars was abandoned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday after a massive fire broke out. As of Friday, the ship was still burning. The blaze may have been fueled by the vehicles’ lithium-ion batteries, which are notoriously difficult to extinguish once ignited. The ship, named Morning Midas, was reportedly carrying 3,000 cars on a journey from Yantai, China to Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico.  |

| The World Shuns Renewable Energy I & I Editorial The net-zero zealots want to force a worldwide renewable energy transition. But they don’t always get their way. Their fanciful projects have been blocked more than 1,000 times globally. In a world seemingly gone mad, this is welcome news. “The total number of alt-energy rejections or restrictions now exceeds 1,000 – it’s 1,011 to be exact,” says energy author Robert Bryce, who operates a database that shows 814 U.S rejections of solar, wind and battery projects. Add those to others across the world and the total exceeds a grand. “The rejections keep coming,” says Bryce. |

| Here’s Why Trump Had No Choice But to Step In and Stop the Riots Matt Margolis Los Angeles has been a hot mess for the past couple of days, absolutely embroiled in what we're told are “peaceful protests” against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for doing their jobs. But let’s call them for what they really are: violent riots. We've all seen the reports, the photos, and the videos, and they're not pretty. We're talking about mobs attacking a federal detention facility, chucking rocks at agents just trying to do their jobs, blocking official vehicles, destroying property, and, yes, even setting cars on fire while proudly waving foreign flags. That’s not peaceful protest. Yet, what was the response from local officials? A masterclass in failure, that's what. |

| Armed Citizen, Police Stop Rampaging Criminal After He Shot a Cop Like a good neighbor, a gun owner is there. This past week, an armed good Samaritan engaged habitual armed criminal Torrance Spears Jr. not long after Spears shot and wounded a police officer in Muskegan Heights, Michigan. Before additional police arrived, the good guy with a gun punched a hole in Mr. Spears in an exchange of gunfire. Minutes later, cops showed up and found the suspect in an alley licking his wounds. When he raised his gun towards the officers, they opened fire putting an end to the would-be cop killer’s rampage and deleting him from the gene pool. |
That's how it's supposed to work |
| Noem Pulls Plug on TSA ‘Quiet
Skies’ Program Weaponized by Biden Regime The program “failed to stop a single terrorist attack” for the entirety of its existence and cost taxpayers “$200 million a year,” the agency said in a press release announcing the end of the program which assigns federal air marshals to secretly monitor targets and report to TSA. Those on the list are also subjected to extra attention at airports, including searches. “It is clear that the Quiet Skies program was used as a political rolodex of the Biden Administration – weaponized against its political foes and exploited to benefit their well-heeled friends. I am calling for a Congressional investigation to unearth further corruption at the expense of the American people and the undermining of U.S. national security,” Noem said. |

| Israel Has a Message for Drama
Queen Greta Thunberg and Her Little Gaza-Bound Boat  Uber leftist Greta Thunberg is on a mission for Palestine, and Israel is ready for her.

| High School Course Asks Kids: ‘Is it possible that being straight is just a phase you may grow out of?’ A Florida high school is being accused of taking LGBTQXYZ+++++ indoctrination to a twisted new level. According to sources obtained by the Daily Wire, high schoolers in Miami-Dade County were assigned a sexuality-focused questionnaire that asked questions like: “What do you think caused your heterosexuality?”; “Is it possible that being straight is just a phase you may grow out of?”; and, “Considering the menace of hunger and overpopulation, could the human race survive if everyone were straight like yourself?” |

| Scuttling the USNS Rainbow Mafia Mark Alexander In a rare order, SecDef Pete Hegseth, on day one of the Rainbow Mafia’s so-called “Pride Month,” announced that the USNS Harvey Milk, a Military Sealift Command oiler, will be renamed. The change is to ensure “alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture.” He plans to announce the new name aboard the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned Navy ship, and said the DoD is also considering renaming a handful of other ships now named for political activists, including Cesar Chavez, Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Medgar Evers, Dolores Huerta, and John Lewis, none of whom have any record of military service.  |

| DOJ Sues Texas to Enforce Law
Prohibiting States From Offering Illegal Aliens In-State Tuition – and Wins On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department finally did what every prior administration (including Trump 1.0) for the past three decades refused to do – enforced the federal immigration law that bans states from providing in-state tuition to illegal aliens unless they provide the same benefit to citizen-students from any state. That same day, Texas cried uncle, agreed with the government, settled the case, and entered into a consent decree. Here’s the background. |

| Biden’s Team Sent Migrant Children
to Abusers; Sponsors Who Impregnated Girls Among Disturbing Cases The Biden administration placed some illegal immigrant children with sponsors who got them pregnant, the DHS said Thursday. In other cases, minors who showed up at the border without parents were sent to live with adults who possessed child pornography, had serious criminal records or forced the children into labor.
