The US Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the Trump Administration is allowed to end Temporary Restricted Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syria.

This is the second huge immigration win for the Trump Administration today.

The high court, in a 6-3 vote, ruled that the Temporary Protected Status is… temporary!

The three liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.

The Trump Administration will strip TPS from 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.

A federal judge earlier this year blocked the Department of Homeland Security from ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitians.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the law ‘violates the constitutional right to keep and bear arms’

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against Hawaii on Thursday, handing concealed-carry permit holders a major victory in a 6-3 decision.

The Supreme Court sided with the plaintiff in Wolford v. Lopez, who contested Hawaii’s state law requiring a property owner’s explicit permission to allow lawful gun owners to bring firearms into public businesses.

“Hawaii’s law at issue here violates the constitutional right to keep and bear arms,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote. “This regime hobbles what the Second Amendment protects: the right of Americans to carry arms for self-defense as they go about their daily lives.”

The ruling reverses a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which had upheld Hawaii’s restrictions after the state enacted them in response to the Supreme Court’s 2022 Bruen decision.

After Bruen struck down New York’s “proper cause” licensing requirement and held that Americans have a constitutional right to carry handguns outside the home for self-defense, Hawaii overhauled its firearms laws.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote both opinions, also holding that TPS recipients cannot block revocation of their status

The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump two major immigration victories on Thursday morning, both having to do with his administration’s efforts to reduce asylum claims.

In the first case, Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the court held that migrants who are turned away at the border before entering the United States are not entitled to apply for asylum. In the second case, Mullin v. Doe, the court ruled that Haitian and Syrian nationals in the United States with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) could not receive judicial relief postponing the revocation of their status while they challenge the Trump administration’s efforts to revoke it in court.

Together, the rulings mark a shift in the legal fight over who can seek protection in the United States, giving the Trump administration a new avenue to limit asylum claims at the border and more leeway to move forward with ending temporary protections for certain migrants already in the country. The rulings also remove key legal obstacles to the administration’s broader push to reduce border crossings and accelerate removals.

Writing the opinion in Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, Justice Samuel Alito argued that a migrant who reaches the southern border but is turned away before entering has not, for legal purposes, “arrive[d] in” the United States. The holding is significant because current law provides that anyone who “arrives in the United States” has the right to apply for asylum.

The Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) is currently accepting proposals for a pilot Cannabis Care Line (CCL) program, an initiative intended to complement the ongoing provider-patient relationship with certifying as well as other healthcare providers. The pilot program will supplement existing clinical director services being offered at Maryland licensed dispensaries. Guidance provided through the CCL will be free-of-charge to callers.

“This CCL pilot program is being launched in response to medical cannabis patient and provider feedback collected during MCA’s medical cannabis roundtables in 2025 as well as input from the 2025 Maryland Medical Cannabis Patient Survey,” said Tabatha Robinson, Maryland Cannabis Administration director. “The MCA has listened to what our more than 80,000 certified medical cannabis patients have to say. As a result, the CCL program was born to address those voices and enhance our medical cannabis program.”

The CCL program includes the provision of medical staff to answer each call. Staff are required to have designated clinical credentials and required training on medical cannabis use topics. Calls must be answered live a minimum of 12 hours per week. Hours of operation and call time hours may vary during the pilot program to target peak volume. In addition to assisting patients navigate key topics such as contraindications and side effects, CCL staff will be able to screen and make referrals for problem use and cannabis use disorder. While medical patients will be prioritized, adult-use customers will be able to contact the CCL for guidance on similar questions as well.

Please note: The guidance provided via the CCL is intended to be informational and is not intended to create an ongoing treatment relationship between the caller and provider or to replace medical care.

Proposals will be accepted through July 16, 2026. Any questions regarding this procurement should be directed to publichealth.mca@maryland.gov by July 8, 2026.

On New York Democrat primary night, the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) crazies swept their three targeted congressional races, while other DSA maniacs saw “fantastic” results. Soon after the final numbers were reported, the Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) gave a speech “cheering” the results. In response, the DSA crowd at a victory party booed and chanted “you’re next” at Jeffries, whom they loathe for his supposed “moderation.”

This, my friends, is a truly ironic development. Jeffries and the rest of the Democrat establishment have dug their own graves – their policies created the DSA and have fed its successes, so that they are now becoming the victims of it.

How did this happen? Here is the answer:

  1. The Dysfunctional Leftist Education System

In my last column, I discussed the leftist educational mess that the Democrat establishment has made of our colleges and K-12. The Democrat establishment was eager to allow left-wingers to enmesh themselves in the educational system, to turn the successive generations into solid Democrat voters. Well, guess who came out to the polls in the low turnout NY primaries that powered the DSA triumph – the white hipster doofi who love socialism? In areas without them, the establishment Democrats easily held on.

Even more amusing is Hakeem Jeffries’ personal history in all this. Jeffries is the nephew of Lionel Jeffries, a professor at the City University of New York, who eventually lost his job over his bigoted comments against whites and Jews. Hakeem Jeffries — who was in college when his uncle’s controversy began — defended his uncle in a student newspaper and invited his uncle to give a speech on campus. Now, the students taught by Lionel Jeffries and the other leftist nuts are promising to remove Hakeem Jeffries from office.

The Tennessee Valley Authority released its preliminary 2026 integrated resource plan on Monday, saying load growth in its footprint is already outpacing the reference case forecast in its draft IRP, and that it has incremental capacity needs for between 7 GW and 26 GW of natural gas between now and 2040.

“TVA’s actual and forecasted electricity demand has increased relative to the draft IRP’s Reference scenario and is approaching the Higher Growth Economy scenario primarily due to data center growth (e.g., artificial intelligence, hyperscaler, etc.),” the IRP said. The higher growth scenario “evaluates a higher gas price environment driven by substantial economic growth.”

The federally-owned utility also plans to add up to 5 GW of nuclear, 1-5 GW of storage, 2-5 GW of renewables (1-8 GW nameplate) and 2-3 GW of energy efficiency and demand response additions.

“New capacity is needed in all scenarios to support load growth or replace expiring and end of life capacity,” the IRP said.

TVA said that gas expansion is necessary to provide “firm, dispatchable capacity,” while new nuclear technologies “support load growth and reduce fuel volatility and regulatory risks” and solar expansion can play a “complementary role, meeting customer needs and providing economic energy.”

“Storage expansion continues, driven by both battery storage and the potential for additional pumped storage,” TVA said. “Energy efficiency deployment reduces energy needs, particularly between now and 2040, and demand response programs grow with the system and the use of smart technologies.”

TVA will take public comment on the preliminary final IRP until July 22, and will hold a public webinar on July 2 to discuss the plan. Final recommendations will be shared at the TVA Board meeting in August.

The IRP noted that the region has “recently experienced extreme winter temperatures in each of the last few years,” with a new winter peak record of 35,319 MW being set in January 2025, and for the 2026 IRP the utility used a 26% planning reserve margin target for winter, compared to its 18% planning reserve margin target for summer.

TVA established three potential strategies in the IRP: Strategy A, which sticks with TVA’s baseline and relies heavily on natural gas generation; Strategy B, which embraces technological innovation and nuclear expansion in particular; and Strategy C, which focuses on distributed energy and would increase renewables and storage.

Strategy A’s higher reliance on natural gas means it has a “higher financial risk exposure than alternative strategies,” while Strategy B is the most expensive overall, and Strategy C “increases the risk of unserved energy or energy curtailment,” TVA said.

The IRP recommends the utility “pursue solar to reduce total system costs or meet customer needs,” but “suspend wind additions given cost and portfolio fit challenges.” It also recommends investment in TVA’s hydro and nuclear fleets and pursuing “nuclear license extensions to maintain low-cost generation.”

In the IRP’s high growth forecast, the scenario which the region is edging closer to, nuclear capacity growth is the highest due in part to increases in the natural gas price forecast.

TVA noted changes in U.S. energy policy since its 2025 IRP, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s curtailment of the investment tax credits available to renewable projects, and the Trump administration’s focus on coal and gas generation.

President Donald Trump has pushed for TVA to turn back toward coal, and fired three Biden appointees from the TVA board in July after the board authorized the retirement of coal units at TVA’s Cumberland and Kingston power plants so natural gas could be developed there. After Trump appointed three replacements to the board, the board voted to operate Cumberland and Kingston’s coal plants past their retirement dates.

The Department of Education (ED) on Tuesday announced new investigations into the Maryland State Department of Education and several Maryland school districts over policies that allegedly favor gender ideology over biological reality, at the expense of female students.

ED’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) opened the probes on the 54th anniversary of the signing of Title IX into state department of education, as well as Montgomery County Public Schools, Prince George’s County Public Schools, and Frederick County Public Schools (the Districts). OCR is looking to determine if the entities have violated Title IX by allowing boys to access girls’ intimate facilities and sports teams.

ED’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) opened the probes on the 54th anniversary of the signing of Title IX into state department of education, as well as Montgomery County Public Schools, Prince George’s County Public Schools, and Frederick County Public Schools (the Districts). OCR is looking to determine if the entities have violated Title IX by allowing boys to access girls’ intimate facilities and sports teams.

“The practice of allowing students to access sex-separated programs and facilities based solely on self-asserted ‘gender identity’ is deeply troubling and raises significant legal concerns,” Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a statement.

“Fifty-four years after Title IX was signed into law, the Trump Administration remains steadfast to enforce its promise to protect women and girls. We will fully investigate these allegations and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with federal law,” Richey continued.

ED said OCR received a complaint that Maryland’s statewide guidance and district-level policies mandate schools to allow boys to use girls’ locker rooms, restrooms, and overnight accommodations and compete on girls’ sports teams. The complaint also alleges that the burden is on female students to seek alternative arrangements and facilities if they are uncomfortable, “including distant single-user restrooms.”

‘These policies are there to silence students who believe that sex cannot be changed’

The University of Minnesota forces students to adopt transgender ideology in the name of preventing “sexual harassment,” and students are suing, saying the policies violate their free speech rights under the First Amendment and prevent them from inviting speakers such as the detransitioner Chloe Cole.

“We live in fear of being disciplined and having our future ruined if we even accidentally use a pronoun someone doesn’t like,” Jackson Barrick, a University of Minnesota student entering his senior year, told the Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday. Young America’s Foundation, a conservative youth organization, represents Barrick and fellow students in the lawsuit, with lawyers from the Southeastern Legal Foundation.

“In the last two years, there have been nearly 20 complaints filed with the university that students violated these policies,” Barrick added. “These policies are there to silence students who believe that sex cannot be changed.”

We can’t have nice things because orange man bad.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, has been neglected for decades, sadly, and it seems every attempt to restore it to glory has been doomed from the start. Former President Barack Obama tried and failed – and he wasn’t the first – but President Donald Trump said he would get it done quickly, without any fuss, and at relatively little cost. The renovation took longer than he claimed it would and cost considerably more than the figure he originally touted. But he did fix it, and, for a few days, it looked great. Still, it already needs repairs after allegedly being sabotaged – and, beyond the question of whether the famous landmark was deliberately damaged, reactions to the news tell us a great deal about the mind-altering effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The first thing worth noting is that, when the Reflecting Pool was last renovated – the project was completed in late 2012 at a cost of $34 million – hardly anyone mentioned it. The media didn’t cover it to any great extent; Obama’s critics were not angry about it – or about the price tag – and when, just days after renovations were complete, the pool filled with algae, no one gleefully reported its failure.

Certainly, Obama didn’t accuse anyone of vandalizing the pool because the very notion would have been ridiculous. No one on the right, no matter how much they despised the then-president, would have even considered defacing a national landmark out of sheer spite.

Yet, the idea that Trump-deranged leftists would really do such a petty and reprehensible thing is entirely believable. And that in itself is a damning indictment of the 47th president’s haters.

The Supreme Court should ensure that the National Voter Registration Act is properly applied by the federal judiciary.

here is a glaring election integrity problem that only the U.S. Supreme Court can remedy: federal courts are misinterpreting the public disclosure provision of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, frustrating the intent of Congress to enlist the public’s help in ensuring accurate and up-to-date voter rolls. By doing so, those courts are facilitating fraud.

Recent polling by Gallup shows that 43 percent of Americans are either “not at all confident” or “not too confident” in the security of our elections. One of the reasons is no doubt the recognized problem of sloppy registration lists. A 2012 study by Pew found that 24 million, or one in eight, voter registrations in the U.S. were “significantly inaccurate.”

This is a serious indictment of state election officials, who are obviously not doing what’s necessary to ensure those rolls are accurate. Inaccurate voter rolls can lead to fraud that endangers the integrity of the election process. A 2020 study by the Public Interest Legal Foundation that compared voter registration lists and voter histories from 42 states found more than 144,000 instances of potentially fraudulent voting during the 2016 and 2018 elections.

That included 14,608 deceased-but-registered voters who cast ballots; more than 81,000 voters registered twice at the same address who cast two votes; almost 8,400 individuals who voted twice because they were registered in two different states; 5,500 voters who cast two ballots because they were registered twice in the same state but at different addresses; and 34,000 individuals who cast ballots despite being registered at nonresidential addresses ranging from commercial establishments to vacant lots and parks.

But there is currently a split in the federal courts of appeal over whether the public and organizations concerned with election integrity have standing — that is, the ability to file a lawsuit — under the National Voter Registration Act to pursue claims against states that refuse to provide access to voter registration information, restrict the use of such information, or impose criminal and civil penalties for “misuse” of that information. The disagreement among the appellate courts means that the federal rights of voters and advocacy groups depend on where they live.

“It was a public health issue being politicized for very much partisan gain,” said former Congressman Jason Lewis. However, Lewis said the bigger issue is “how many people it hurt.”

Liz Collin ReportsJason Lewis joined Liz Collin on her podcast.

They are conspiracies until they aren’t. With more and more information about the COVID pandemic being released, former Minnesota Congressman Jason Lewis joined Liz Collin on her podcast to talk about his new feature film project, “State of Deception.”

Lewis, who represented Minnesota’s Second District in Congress from 2017 to 2019, said the film aims to provide much-needed perspective about COVID-era scandals in the style of “House of Cards meets The Manchurian Candidate.”

WATCH: 

While the project has been in the works for some time, Lewis said he is reassured given all of the information that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released last week on her last day on the job.

“I spoke with Tulsi about this a couple of years back, and she was very concerned then,” Lewis said.

By releasing the declassified information, Lewis said Gabbard did “a wonderful, wonderful thing for America in trying to uncover what is going to turn out to be one of the great scandals, one of the great conspiracies, of which, by the way, a lot of people’s lives are still impacted by.”

“What we experimented with is, quite frankly, martial law in Minnesota. And we’ve still yet to get all the information on how we fast tracked this vaccine. It was classified as experimental, and why somehow it was needed for everyone, including the young and the healthy. So you’ve got all of these things coming together,” Lewis explained.

“This is how I got on State of Deception. If you put this in a story and then you realize all the things that are coming out are proving this grand conspiracy, people wouldn’t believe it … so this is really something that I think is going to go down, quite frankly, as sort of the beginning of the end for my home state of Minnesota,” he added.

The current political climate across the west is tumultuous and chaotic, largely due to one volatile issue causing deep divisions:  Mass immigration.  Not just mass immigration, but mass invasion from third-world countries and facilitated by liberal governments.

Leftists, driven by an obsession with multiculturalism and Marxism, desperately want mass immigration to continue unabated.  Conservatives and centrists want immigration stopped and, ideally, reversed.  Both sides refuse to budge which has created an explosive impasse.  The debate is on the verge of becoming a civil war.

In this debate, only one side is correct.  It is clear to the majority of western citizens that after a decade of migrant programs, there simply is no compatibility between European/American culture and third world cultures.  These cultures reside in regions of the world where authoritarianism and barbarism are ingrained in the public psyche; they have no conception of western ideals of individual freedom, meritocracy, high trust or “tolerance.”

They only view western empathy as a weakness that should be exploited.  Meaning, westerners and third worlders will never be able to coexist.  It’s simply not possible without one side dominating the other.

In the midst of this debate the political left has had the most control over popular media and which message gets the most exposure.  Pro-immigration and multicultural movies, TV shows and commercials saturate the market.  If any project criticizing immigration makes it to the light of day, it’s kind of a miracle.  Enter the independent film “Citizen Vigilante”.

Hillary Clinton is once again aiming at the Electoral College, calling it an “abomination” in the new Netflix documentary The American Experiment.

The former Secretary of State makes her remarks while reflecting on her 2016 loss to Donald Trump, reviving her long-standing criticism of the presidential election system, as reported by Breitbart.

The film, directed by Brian Knappenberger, explores how Americans have chosen their presidents since the nation’s founding and features Clinton speaking candidly about her defeat.

Knappenberger said he expected “fireworks” when he asked Clinton to revisit election night in 2016. He explained that she had rarely discussed that period and that the project benefited from her willingness to do so

“She has rarely spoken candidly about that election night, and we’re really happy she talked about it for the series,” Knappenberger said.

“She has a unique perspective as one of only five people in American history to lose the presidency after winning the popular vote.”

Knappenberger also highlighted that the 2016 election stood out because Clinton defeated Trump in the popular vote by a significant margin but fell short in the Electoral College tally.

Voter fraud: The thing that Democrats say doesn’t exist, except when it does, and when they go and prove it for you.

According to a report in the Tuesday U.K. Daily Mail, 36 voters — many of whom are celebrities — are registered at one suite on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, including “Friends” actress Jennifer Aniston.

This is in spite of the fact that not only does Los Angeles require you to register to vote at your home address, it also requires you to sign an affidavit avowing that’s your official place of residence. For those of you not associated with the law, signing an affidavit under false pretenses is — dum dum dum! — perjury!

And shocker of all shockers, Suite 600 at 9200 Sunset Boulevard is not a residential address or some sort of polycule commune for celebs. It’s the business address of Michael Ullman, who runs Platinum Financial Management, Inc.

He’s described by the Mail as the “money manager to the stars,” and unless he has a lot of sleeping bags on the floor of his office, some Angeleno-area voters have some ‘splainin’ to do.

A troubling pattern appears to be emerging.

In a recent foiled terror plot targeting UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, authorities said the suspect of an underground network, led by an illegal alien ringleader, planned to use suicide drones and a sniper team against “capitalist elites.” Separately, Rebel News described the Montreal shooter earlier this week as an “antisemitic Communist.”

While the cases appear separate, both point to a broader concern: revolutionary and radical-left rhetoric is increasingly bleeding into real-world violence, with younger and younger extremists resorting to violence targeting wealthy individuals or even right-leaning political figures.

Earlier this week, Rebel News released the full 104-page manifesto of the “antisemitic Communist” shooter, who was killed after shooting and killing a Montreal police officer in a Jewish neighborhood, killing a local suit seller, and leaving behind a manifesto railing against capitalism and law enforcement, among other things.

“Be unflinching, go forth, and KILL THEM ALL!” Seth Hatfield, the shooter, wrote in the manifesto.

Rebel News pointed out, “He was an antisemitic Communist.”

Why is that important? Just days earlier, news broke in the US that Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, an illegal alien, was the ringleader of a foiled terror attack targeting “billionaires” and “capitalist elites” at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.

Trump has been given an important role for the 2026 World Cup Final later this summe

President Donald Trump is now expected to attend the 2026 World Cup final and present the trophy to the winning country on July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed earlier this week that Trump will join him in handing the trophy to the captain of the global tournament’s winner. The FIFA president appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning to confirm the rumor.

“We will be together with the president, enjoying the final and handing the trophy to the winner, of course, together,” Infantino said on air. “We are together all the time.”

Democrats have been losing their minds for days now over the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

The only reason they cared was that they thought they could attack President Donald Trump over the algae bloom in the pool, after he had said how beautiful it looked immediately after it was done.

They were even freaking out over three dead ducks found in the area. Now we don’t know why the ducks were dead. Folks on the Left immediately tried to blame the use of the hydrogen peroxide to treat the algae in the pool.

But that didn’t fly.

“I know a few more dead ducks have been found, but hydrogen peroxide remains an extremely unlikely cause,” said Brad Bortner, the former national division chief of migratory bird management at FWS. “They [would] have to pour hundreds or thousands of gallons of industrial-strength hydrogen peroxide into the reflecting pool to reach a concentration that would kill a bird.”

The Democrats didn’t give a darn about when Barack Obama spent $34 million on it, had algae within a month, and didn’t resolve

Oh, and the ducks? Here’s what happened under the Obama administration: 80 dead ducks from a parasite.

CNN reported on 80 ducks dying in one weekend and recurring algae problems during the Obama administration.

Now one duck dies or algae appears, and it’s suddenly treated like a national emergency.

The difference isn’t the ducks or the algae.

The difference is who’s in the White House.

Bottom line? Algae is a natural process, and it can occur in any pool. It’s just something with which you have to deal.

But guess what? After all that, Democrats are going to have a fit because it looks like the pool is looking “awesome” again, according to TMZ’s Charlie Cotton. “The Reflecting Pool is looking magnificent this morning.”

A federal judge on Wednesday permanently banned Trump from implementing his executive order that required proof of citizenship when they register to vote.

Boston-based US District Judge Denise Casper, an Obama appointee, said the Constitution “does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.”

The DOJ will immediately appeal.

“A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections, part of which sought to require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote. The judge agreed that the Constitution gives states and Congress the authority to regulate elections, and that Trump’s requirements violated the separation of powers,” the Associated Press reported.

In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248: Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.

“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,” the executive order said.

Democracy depends on a simple bargain: citizens elect leaders, leaders make decisions, and voters can remove them when those decisions fail.

But what happens when people no longer believe that bargain exists?

For many Illinois residents, that question is becoming increasingly urgent.

As a lifelong Illinoisan and Cook County resident, I am not writing as an outside observer. Like millions of Illinois residents, I live with the consequences of the policies enacted in our name and have watched public confidence in government steadily erode.

The old saying to “vote early and vote often” was once treated as a joke. Today, many citizens no longer find it amusing.

When voters lose confidence that elections are transparent, competitive, and meaningful, elected officials become insulated from the consequences of their actions. Policies can fail. Communities can suffer. Families can be devastated. Yet those responsible often face little political risk.

My family understands that reality all too well.

My daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed on January 19, 2025, while visiting friends at the University of Illinois in Urbana. She was a passenger in a vehicle stopped at a red light when an intoxicated driver struck it at nearly 80 miles per hour.

According to court records, the driver had previously been deported, later re-entered the United States illegally, and used a false identity or alias while living in Illinois. Despite multiple apparent red flags—including questions surrounding his identity, significant language barriers, and a complex immigration history—he ultimately obtained an Illinois driver’s license.

This should make Second Amendment supporters a little more cheerful. President Trump, speaking on Tuesday to Mack Trucks manufacturing facility employees and supporters in Macungie, Pennsylvania, gave a ringing endorsement for what he called the national right to carry.

The president said:

The (National Rifle Association) NRA, everybody, they really have been, they’ve been with me right from the beginning. And Bill asked me would I support the national right to carry legislation, how do you feel about national right to carry? (Cheers) That’s my free poll. You know what that is? That’s the free poll. You don’t have to pay $300,000 to somebody that doesn’t even do polling. To give you phony numbers. See, those are real numbers. National right to carry. Yeah, we’re working on it.

Here’s the question: What manner of national concealed-carry is being worked on, here?


There are, pretty much, two possibilities.

First, the president may be referring to proposed legislation that would extend reciprocity of any state’s concealed-carry permits to all states; this is already the case with state-issued permits and licenses like driver’s licenses. Bills like the 2025 H.R.38 – Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025 have been introduced, but haven’t gone anywhere – yet

Second, the president may be describing a national law establishing constitutional carry, or no-permit carry, which is already in place in 29 states, including my own Alaska. At present, there appear to be no proposed bills that would establish this, so the president is likely referring to the first option.

As a matter of “politics is the art of the possible,” most of us in the Second Amendment movement would be happy to have option 1. We’d be happier with option 2, but that’s probably not in the cards. We’d be downright delighted if the federal government and the 50 state governments would just consider the constitutional language that would seem to make either option 1 or 2 unnecessary:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

That’s pretty plain language, not that the Constitution’s generally plain language ever stopped any politician from proposing all manner of unconstitutional rubbish. But much as we would like any gun-grabbing politician being directed to the 2nd Amendment and being told, “No, you won’t,” this is still a battle that we need to fight. And the reciprocity argument is a strong one; the Constitution, in Article IV, Section 1, says:

General Motors has sparked outrage after sidelining more than 1,000 workers at its flagship Detroit assembly plant on Friday and announcing they’d be installing 50 new robots.

The so-called ‘cobots’ were installed on the assembly line at GM’s Factory Zero in Michigan as the automaker slashes costs amid weakening demand for its electric vehicles, according to reports.

The robots now work alongside the remaining employees, helping attach vehicle body panels as cars move down the production line, AutoBlog reported.

The number of labor hours required to build a car has fallen by 50 percent to 70 percent since the 1980s, Crain’s reported.

But that efficiency shift has not translated into lower wages for workers; UAW pay rose significantly in its 2023 contract win, with the union expected to push for stronger protections ahead of its 2028 negotiations.

Cotton also raised safety concerns about robots operating in close proximity to human workers, disputing GM’s claims that the technology improves conditions on the line.

He said the union has since filed grievances against the company over the deployment of cobots.

The cobots arrive as GM scales back its once-aggressive electric vehicle push, which has been pressured by slowing demand and high production costs.

The automaker has also paused production at its Factory ZERO plant multiple times over the past year amid the shifting EV landscape.

The FBI has captured one of its Most Wanted Fraudsters, who allegedly defrauded the government of more than $1.2 billion in Medicare funds. 

Herbert Leon Kimble, 60, is accused of running a fraudulent healthcare enterprise that resulted in “more than $1.2 billion in Medicare charges and affected thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, many of whom were elderly victims,” according to the FBI.

Previously, the FBI offered a $ 150,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Authorities say he was arrested in the Philippines after nearly two years on the run, according to the New York Post.

Vice Chairman of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Andrew Ferguson, highlighted the importance of the anti-fraud task force. “The Biden Administration could have gotten him. They found plenty of time to arrest people playing outside of abortion clinics,” he said.

“Instead, they let this guy run away with all of this money outside of the country.”

Officials from the Department of Justice hold a press conference, discussing significant legal matters, with various flags and the DOJ emblem in the background.

The Department of Justice on Tuesday announced that 455 defendants have been charged with stealing over $6.5 billion in healthcare fraud schemes across 45 states. 

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the results of the DOJ’s “2026 national health care fraud takedown” during a press conference on Tuesday.

He credited the work to the “greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history.”

“This team is working tirelessly to take down fraudsters who steal from taxpayer-funded programs and prey on vulnerable Americans,” he said. Blanche further highlighted the nine “health care fraud strike forces,” 57 US Attorney’s Offices, 41 state Attorney General’s offices, and multiple federal agencies involved in the busts.

Hosts of The View engage in a lively discussion, showcasing their diverse perspectives on current hot topics at the show's table.
The View erupts into chaos as Ana Navarro defies the far-left script on Venezuela, triggering visible outrage from Sunny Hostin

In January, The Gateway Pundit reported that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a crackdown on partisan talk shows in both daytime and late-night in an effort to provide equal treatment for political candidates.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said at the time, “For years, legacy TV networks assumed that their late night & daytime talk shows qualify as “bona fide news” programs – even when motivated by purely partisan political purposes.”

In February, the FCC is launched an investigation into ABC’s “The View” following an appearance by Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, the first political candidate to appear on the program following the announcement in January.

At the time, Talarico was facing other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), in the Democrat primary. Republicans Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), state Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) faced off in the GOP primary.

Eight of the ten Antifa members convicted of terrorism charges for an attack on a Texas ICE detention center were sentenced to at least 50 years in prison on Tuesday.

The Antifa ringleader Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison.

CBS News reported:

Eight people who were found guilty of terrorism-related charges earlier this year for a 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, learned their punishments on Tuesday. One member of the group, identified as the group’s leader, was sentenced to a century in prison.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said on Monday that sentencing for the defendants would happen Tuesday morning. The verdicts, handed down in March, came as the defendants stood accused in the July 4, 2025, plot targeting the Prairieland ICE detention center following weeks of testimony from investigators, law enforcement and cooperating witnesses.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier blasted Major League Baseball on Tuesday morning after Commissioner Robert Manfred doubled down on its restriction of faith messages on team uniforms. 

Uthmeier announced a formal probe into the MLB and issued a subpoena last week after San Francisco Giants pitchers were threatened for wearing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats. The MLB is also under investigation by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred responded to a letter from Senator Josh Hawley, saying that “the players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be.”

Hawley celebrated a win, falsely claiming Manfred “admits they were wrong to threaten the Giants players over Bible verses and promises never to fine or discipline these players – or any players for their religious beliefs.” But he ignored what Manfred actually wrote.

The O’Keefe Media Group caught a Las Vegas middle school teacher breaking policies and pushing LGBTQ+ propaganda onto 11-year-old children.

Christopher Segal, an English teacher at Gunderson Middle School was caught on hidden camera admitting he coaches minors on coming out as queer.

The teacher, who goes by “Mx” also admitted to condemning black “MAGA” kids and lashed out at parents for not being supportive of their queer kids.

“I’ve had kids ask me, like, coach them on coming out [as Queer],” Christopher Segal told the undercover OMG journalist.

Segal admitted to breaking the law by calling the kids by their preferred pronouns.

“I break the law [CCSD Policies] and still call kids what they want me to call them,” he said.

“They [Kids] come out [as Queer], and I’m like, “awesome.” They know I’m queer,” Segal said.

President Trump shut down USAID because of waste and corruption, but also because taxpayer money was flowing directly and indirectly to groups promoting liberal agendas in opposition to U.S. policy.

President Trump was criticized for cutting USAID funding shortly after taking office in his second term. He argued that USAID was plagued by waste, fraud, and corruption, with taxpayer money funding projects such as DEI workplace training in Serbia and transgender theater productions in Ireland.

The White House released a documented list of expenditures that included hundreds of thousands of dollars to a nonprofit linked to designated terrorist organizations after an OIG investigation had been launched, millions to EcoHealth Alliance, which was involved in research related to the Wuhan lab, and funding that resulted in hundreds of thousands of meals being distributed to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria.

Beyond waste and fraud, USAID funds also flowed to organizations that were at odds with U.S. interests, including groups that funded protests against U.S. policies within the United States and undermined US policy abroad.

George Soros, one of the largest donors to the Democratic Party and left-wing causes in the United States, became a central figure in the USAID corruption debate. Open Society Foundations has stated that claims it receives USAID funds or directs USAID spending are “manifestly false.” However, the organization’s own records and federal grant data indicate a financial relationship with USAID.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday sided with Trump and ruled that ICE may resume swift deportations.

In January 2025, President Trump signed an executive order titled, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion.”

Last August, a federal judge blocked President Trump from rapidly deporting illegal aliens.

US District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, called President Trump’s expedited removal of illegal aliens from the interior of the US a “skimpy process.”

“The procedures the Government currently uses in expedited removal, however, create a significant risk that it will not identify these disqualifying criteria before quickly ordering someone removed. And the lack of available review means that once the removal happens, it is largely too late to correct the error,” Judge Cobb wrote in a 48-page opinion.

On Tuesday, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals in a 2-1 decision threw out a lower court ruling that blocked Trump from carrying out mass deportations.

The three judge panel included: Majority: Walker (Trump), Rao (Trump) and Dissent: Wilkins (Obama).

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered another significant immigration victory for the Trump administration on Tuesday, ruling 6-3 that federal immigration officials do not need “clear and convincing evidence” at the border before treating a lawful permanent resident accused of certain crimes as an applicant for admission.

Justice Clarence Thomas delivers the hammer: Border officers making “quick judgments on the spot” do NOT need clear and convincing evidence of guilt at the moment of parole. Proof can come later at removal proceedings.

The Court sided with the Trump administration in Blanche v. Lau, rejecting activist attempts to tie the hands of border officers and making it significantly easier to remove lawful permanent residents who commit serious crimes.

The case involved Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese national who became a green card holder in 2007. In May 2012, while facing criminal charges in New Jersey for selling nearly $300,000 worth of counterfeit clothing (a clear crime involving moral turpitude), Lau took a trip to China.

Donald Trump speaking animatedly at a rally, surrounded by an audience in safety vests, expressing enthusiasm and engaging with supporters.

President Donald Trump hilariously roasted men competing in women’s sports during a speech Tuesday at the Mack Trucks manufacturing facility in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, specifically calling out transgender weightlifters and declaring the practice insane.

The president also mimicked a struggling transgender weightlifter, in a moment that quickly went viral.

“Are we crazy? Men should not be able to participate in women’s sports,” Trump said.

The president added that claims this is only an “eighty-twenty issue” are wrong, insisting instead it is a “ninety-nine to one” issue in favor of protecting women’s categories.

Jim Acosta interviews Rosie O'Donnell on The Jim Acosta Show, discussing current events against a backdrop of the U.S. Capitol.

Rosie O’Donnell and former CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta put their Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display this week, teaming up to push what has been referred to as “election denialism” and a “threat to democracy.”

During an interview on Acosta’s show, Rosie declared that Trump stole the election from Kamala Harris. Though Acosta was skeptical about the theory, he endorsed the idea that the midterms will be stolen or outright canceled by Trump.

“So most people are very, very, very shocked, scared, and absolutely astonished that he is the President of the United States, and I think I am too. I mean, part of the reason that I left is I never in a million years thought we would put a convicted felon who tried to start an insurrection back in office,” O’Donnell said. Very ironic considering Trump saying the election was stolen is what these people considered insurrection.

Just how much say should a parent have when it comes to their child’s exposure to transgenderism and gender ideology?

President Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission is taking a maximalist approach to answer the question about parental rights.

But if you were to ask dozens of Democratic lawmakers, the answer to the question is apparently, “As little as possible.”

Back in April, FCC Chair Brendan Carr began pushing for stricter — or at least more comprehensive — television ratings for children’s shows, to better inform parents about the shows’ contents as well as combat what is being called “ratings creep.”

“Years ago, Congress passed a law that empowers parents to decide the types of TV programs that are appropriate for their kids by standing up a TV show ratings system,” Carr posted in April. “But recently, parents have raised concerns with the industry’s approach — including with ratings creep.”

He added, “Specifically, they argue that New York & Hollywood programmers are promoting controversial issues in kids programming without providing any transparency or disclosures to parents.”

James Talarico

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico once described himself as a “Christian who hates Christianity.”

Talarico made the comments during an appearance on the Activist Theology podcast, hosted by the leftist theologian Roberto Che Henderson-Espinoza.

“I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity, right?” Talarico said during the discussion.

The comments resurfaced as Talarico campaigns against Attorney General Ken Paxton in one of the country’s most closely watched Senate races.

Talarico, an Austin Democrat and former state representative, has frequently highlighted his  supposed Christian faith on the campaign trail.

During the interview, Talarico praised Henderson-Espinoza’s work, calling himself a “BIG fan” and describing the book Activist Theology as an inspiration.

The conversation focused on topics including Christianity, political activism, race, and gender identity.

At one point, Talarico argued that Christianity could be an effective tool for advancing political causes because many Americans already identify with the faith.

“The reason I think Christianity can be powerful in our context in this country is because so many of our political opponents share that kind of, that tradition,” Talarico said.

Senator discusses a timeline titled "500 Days of Corruption" in the Senate chamber, highlighting significant dates and events related to political accountability.

In the latest unhinged display of full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome, far-left Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy has crossed into pure conspiracy theory territory.

Murphy is now suggesting that President Donald Trump is being paid by the Iranian regime.

Murphy took to the Senate floor this week for yet another unhinged rant, this time claiming the first 500 days of President Trump’s second term have been defined by “nuclear-grade corruption” and self-dealing.

He painted the White House as a “24/7 corruption operation” and warned that Trump’s strategy is to flood the zone with so many stories that the public tunes out.

Vandals destroy and remove the lining of the Reflecting Pool (screenshot via Fox News)

The Interior Department on Tuesday released surveillance footage showing two individuals “destroying and removing a piece of the lining and attempting destruction” of the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial, the Department says.

Deranged liberals have been tearing out the new American flag blue sealant that lines the bottom of the pool with the intention of giving the water a blue reflection. Several arrests were made over the weekend.

The vandals also inscribed “86 47,” calling for Trump’s death, on the grass of the National Mall and on the bottom of the Reflecting Pool in recent days.

Employees were seen erecting a fence around the Reflecting Pool on Tuesday as Trump says repairs are set to begin imminently.

Video provided to Fox News shows a male and a female reaching deep into the Reflecting Pool last Friday in what is allegedly an act of vandalism.

“In the video, you are seeing two suspects observed destroying and removing a piece of the lining and attempting destruction of the lining,” the Department of the Interior said in a statement.

“This incident took place on June 19, 2026, and we are investigating. Destroying, injuring, defacing or removing cultural or archeological resources is a federal crime.”

RINO Senator Thom Tillis trashed Acting DNI Bill Pulte for firing Deep State intel officials.

Acting DNI Bill Pulte has fired over 50 career Deep State intel officials so far.

“The Deep State firings have begun” a source told CNN on Monday.

On Tuesday, CBS News reported that Pulte fired six political intelligence staffers and sent 45 others to their home agencies.

CNN reported that Pulte fired six political appointees chosen by Tulsi Gabbard.

“Today, I spent time with the National Counterterrorism Center team, who is doing an incredible job protecting our Country under President Trump’s leadership. The room was filled with true professionals and American patriots. It is a privilege to work beside them,” Pulte said on Tuesday evening.

Chris Rabb secured the Democratic nomination for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District as an open member of the Democratic Socialists of America. During a recent appearance connected to New York DSA organizing, he described the task ahead in terms that left little room for ambiguity. The work, he said, requires fighting fascism by refashioning an entire society and changing the very nature of Congress.

Guy Benson, appearing on Fox News, expressed the reaction shared by many observers: even in a favorable political environment, most Americans may not be prepared for that level of explicit transformation.

The comment revealed a persistent failure of recognition rather than a failure of information. Large numbers of voters, including many who reliably support Republican candidates, still treat anyone running as a Democrat as a familiar quantity. They picture standard partisan disagreements over spending levels or regulatory emphasis.

They do not register that a growing segment of the party operates from an entirely different premise. That premise holds that existing institutions, legal traditions, and cultural norms represent obstacles to be cleared rather than inheritance to be preserved.

Rabb’s victory in a deep-blue district illustrates the practical effect. Once a candidate aligned with this current clears the primary, the general election in such terrain becomes a formality. The same pattern has produced results elsewhere. Zohran Mamdani’s rise in New York and parallel candidacies in other progressive strongholds show how quickly rhetorical commitments translate into governing priorities once institutional gatekeepers step aside. Policies that once required elaborate justification, such as resistance to federal immigration enforcement or the redirection of public resources toward contested social experiments, move from the fringe of debate to the center of the agenda.

Republicans have largely responded with the tools of conventional politics. They track polling, highlight specific policy contrasts, and prepare opposition research on individual candidates. These steps address symptoms. They do not confront the underlying project.

The Democratic Socialists of America network does not treat elections as occasional opportunities to adjust the existing order. It treats them as occasions to install personnel committed to altering the order’s fundamental character. The difference matters. Standard partisan competition assumes shared commitment to the constitutional framework. This competition increasingly does not.

The footage circulating from the recent appearance made the distinction difficult to miss. Speakers associated with the effort no longer feel compelled to translate their objectives into the softer language of previous Democratic campaigns. They state the intention to refashion society and to change the nature of Congress itself.

Kent State University fields bias complaints under Ohio’s one-year-old anti-DEI law

A Kent State University student alleges a loss of points on a paper from a U.S. history professor for briefly comparing Charlie Kirk to Martin Luther King Jr.

That is one of several complaints fielded by Kent State University over the last school year under a relatively new anti-DEI law in Ohio. Senate Bill 1, passed last year, allows students to file complaints if they feel their intellectual diversity rights have been violated.

At Kent State, only seven complaints have been filed so far, the Akron Beacon Journal reported, adding none have been filed at the University of Akron. The newspaper determined the results through a public records request.

The Journal reported that of the seven complaints at KSU, two did not meet the parameters for an SB1 violation, and another appeared to be some sort of false or hoax report. The other four are:

[A] complaint was filed against a part-time faculty member in the School of Theatre and Dance. The complaint alleged the professor made “inappropriate” and “unethical” comments during his lectures, like saying pro-life individuals are uneducated and Catholic belief is impractical and inaccurate. …

A School of Art professor also was reported. The complaint alleges that the professor brought up Charlie Kirk’s murder during a lecture the day after it occurred. The professor is accused of allowing students to share controversial and aggressive comments that made the complainant feel uncomfortable. …

University housing also received a complaint. The complainant alleged that they were unable to fly a Palestinian flag in their dorm due to resident assistant and housing supervisor biases. …

The final complaint was made against a professor of American history at the Geauga Regional Campus. The complainant alleges that they lost points on a paper because of a reference they made to Charlie Kirk, briefly comparing him to Martin Luther King Jr. The complainant alleges professor bias influenced their grade.

The last complaint regarding Kirk and MLK remains under investigation, according to the Journal, which noted: “The complaint was filed Dec. 17, and it remains in the investigation stage. The professor didn’t respond to a request for comment.”

“Because professors around the country have suffered harm, including doxxing and harassment, over unsubstantiated complaints, this story does not name the professors,” the Journal noted.

The other three complaints have been resolved, according to the newspaper.

According to some faculty, the new law has made professors walk “on eggshells” and avoid some controversial subjects, the Journal reported.

On June 18, Tucker Carlson went on the Can’t Be Censored podcast, openly declaring war on the Republican Party and the Trump administration.

He announced he would not support Republicans in the November midterms, stating flatly, “I would not support the Republican Party, there’s no chance.” Carlson questioned how any American could back a party “not loyal to the United States” and insisted it was “not possible to vote for people like that.”

He admitted his long record of defending the GOP, but concluded there was “no defending this because it’s immoral.” Then came the harshest blow: he is “out,” and he believes many others will follow.

Carlson centered his attack on the Trump administration’s military campaign in Iran. He accused the administration and the entire GOP of putting foreign interests, especially Israel and big donors, above American citizens. He called this “exactly the opposite” of what the party should stand for. Most damning, he labeled these actions “immoral” and outright “treasonous,” declaring, “You can’t have a government that calls itself a democratic republic…that is representing interests outside the country.”

He claimed true America First had been ditched for what benefits Israel and donors instead of American families.

Carlson’s break with President Donald J. Trump hardly comes as a surprise.

In April, Trump publicly denounced him on Truth Social and in a New York Post interview. The president called Carlson a “low-IQ person” with “absolutely no idea what’s going on,” a “broken man” fired from Fox News who never finished college. Trump labeled him and others “nut jobs” and “losers” pushing the opposite of MAGA by opposing strong action against Iran, the world’s top sponsor of terror.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced that he has issued a subpoena forcing Dr. Anthony Fauci to appear publicly before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee next month. The move comes after the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director abruptly backed out of a voluntary testimony agreement he had already made.

Paul continues his quest as one of the very few members of Congress willing to hold Fauci accountable for his handling of the pandemic, if not for playing a significant role in unleashing it.

This subpoena sets the stage for what could be a highly anticipated COVID-era grilling, with lawmakers aiming to finally get answers on gain-of-function research, the Wuhan lab origins, and Fauci’s role in the controversies that still haunt the country years later.

Dear Tucker,

When I first saw that you’re back in the news, I debated whether to give you the oxygen you’re looking for. I don’t mean to give you that little extra boost of air, but I hope this letter settles into a recent history slot so the future sees your pivots and judges you accordingly.

You spent two years telling millions of Americans to back President Donald Trump and the Republicans who helped put him back in the White House. Then you looked around, found a microphone, and discovered your conscience at the exact moment it could get you yet ANOTHER round of headlines.

Incredible timing! Truly, the saints must be jealous.

Back in April, you sat down with Buckley Carlson, your brother and former Trump speechwriter, and admitted you felt tormented by your support for Trump. You apologized for misleading people, then you said millions of Trump supporters were the reason the country reached the point you now condemn.

Very brave, Tucker.

Nothing says moral courage quite like helping build the house, waiting until the roof is on fire, and then giving a podcast tour of the ashes.

Now, however, you’ve gone further.

During your June 18 appearance on the Can’t Be Censored podcast with Travis Dhanraj and Karman Wong, you said there’s no chance you would support the Republican Party anymore. You said the party puts Israel’s interests above America’s interests, calling it immoral, saying you were out after 35 years of defending Republicans.

Just weeks after Americans criticized the United Kingdom for imposing intrusive and heavy-handed social media rules, Congress is now advancing legislation that raises strikingly similar concerns about government overreach, privacy erosion, and the expansion of online surveillance.

A bipartisan agreement on children’s online safety legislation unveiled by House Energy and Commerce Committee leaders would impose new obligations on social media platforms, while creating powerful incentives for companies to end online anonymity.

The proposal is part of the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (KIDS Act), an omnibus package that bundles together multiple bills, including the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), the SCREEN Act, the SAFE BOTs Act, COPPA 2.0, the SPY Kids Act, and more, as well as data broker provisions and research and education initiatives.

“Chicago, Chicago, it’s a hell of a town,”

Chicago, a city of children without fathers and 19-year-old deadbeat dads who point their guns sideways at each other while driving at high speed past drug corner sales, commemorated Father’s Day with shootings that took out 39 people and killed 6 of them.

That’s up from 5 killed and 16 wounded last year.

So obviously it was time for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, probably the worst mayor in the country (and between Zohran Mamdani, Katie Wilson and Karen Bass, who burned down LA for the second time while on vacation, it’s a tough competition) to announce whatever this is.

“Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans,” a Sunday X post from Mayor Brandon Johnson said. “This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more connected city.”

Queers for Palestine

If you found yourself channel surfing in Gaza between 2007 and 2009, you may have happened upon “Tomorrow’s Pioneers.” The children’s show, which aired for four seasons on the Al-Aqsa television network, features a young hijab-adorned Palestinian girl named Saraa accompanied by a costumed animal. Skits are used to educate the audience about the importance of fighting for Palestinian statehood. Season 1 stars Farfour, a mouse with a high-pitched voice and a casual antisemitism that would make Joseph Goebbels blush. In the final episode, after being entrusted with the key to his ancestral lands by his dying grandfather, Farfour laments, “but I don’t know how to liberate this land from the filth of the criminal, plundering Jews.” The show ends with the mouse being beaten to death by IDF soldiers. This crude plot device is recycled in each subsequent season, with viewers being introduced to a new costumed animal whose “death by Jew” in the final episode is a foregone conclusion.

Sixteen years later, on October 7th, 2023, thousands of Hamas fighters and Palestinian civilians, many of whom had sat on their living room floors as children and watched a cartoon mouse get murdered, crossed into Israel seeking vengeance.

What followed was the bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Entire families were slaughtered in their homes. Young people attending a music festival were hunted down, tortured, and executed. Hundreds of innocent civilians, including infants and the elderly, were dragged back into the dungeons of Gaza to be held as hostages.

One might have expected such an atrocity to produce a moment of moral clarity. Instead, many activists, academics, and intellectuals in the West immediately set about the task of whitewashing it. The attack was framed as inevitable blowback from years of occupation. (Overlooking the fact that Gaza had not been occupied since 2005.) The perpetrators were resistance fighters and the victims became disposable pawns in a larger narrative about colonialism.

But to offer up excuses for Hamas is to provide them with a moral justification they never requested. Unlike their apologists in the West, they have never felt the need to cleanse their crimes in the language of social justice. Whether they are free or under occupation, they are proud of October 7th and have vowed to carry it out again and again.

The tendency to portray October 7 as simply a desperate response to occupation ignores another inconvenient reality: the majority of Islamist terrorism has nothing to do with Israel. The men who murdered concertgoers at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris and at the Manchester Arena were not living under occupation. The terrorists who carried out the Bali bombings and the Mumbai attack were never forced to endure the indignities of checkpoints and a naval blockade. The common thread linking these atrocities is not Israeli policy but an ideology that glorifies martyrdom and places little value on non-Muslim lives.

An imam granted access to a U.S. military interfaith chapel stood before American soldiers and fed them this line: “Muslims don’t force people to convert. The Quran says there is no compulsion in religion. You do you, and I do me.”

This is textbook taqiyya – deliberate deception designed to present a peaceful, tolerant face of Islam while concealing the doctrine’s true commands of dominance and conquest.

The contrast with actual Islamic history and doctrine could not be starker. Muhammad himself declared: “I have been ordered to fight the people until they say none has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” When he took Mecca, he destroyed the idols and gave the population the choice to convert or submit to his army. He later expelled Jews and Christians from Arabia. That is not “you do you, and I do me.” That is conquest and subjugation.

The same imam claimed Muslims believe in Jesus because his name appears 25 times in the Quran. He conveniently omitted that the Quran denies the crucifixion and teaches that when Jesus returns, he will break the cross and wipe out all religions except Islam. This is not a misunderstanding; this is deliberate deception.

It is calculated dawah – Islamic proselytizing – aimed at softening American troops while the broader campaign of internal subversion advances. We are allowing imams onto military bases and into chapels to run recruitment and indoctrination operations on our own soldiers under the cover of “religious accommodation.”

A federal appeals court has restored a key Trump administration policy on expedited removals, clearing the path for faster deportations of illegal immigrants who entered the country unlawfully. The 2-1 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacates a nationwide block imposed by a Biden-appointed district judge, affirming that the Department of Homeland Security can apply the law as Congress intended.

This ruling represents a significant step toward reclaiming control over America’s borders after years of deliberate neglect and judicial overreach under the previous administration. By expanding expedited removal nationwide, authorities can now act swiftly against those who cannot demonstrate two years of continuous lawful presence, bypassing lengthy proceedings that often become gateways to permanent settlement.

The policy, rooted in longstanding federal immigration statutes, allows DHS to remove eligible individuals without full hearings when they lack lawful admission or parole. During President Trump’s first term, similar measures proved effective. The Biden administration’s reversal of this approach contributed to record illegal crossings and strained resources, turning enforcement into a bureaucratic nightmare that rewarded lawbreakers.

Judge Justin Walker, writing for the majority, emphasized that due process requires notice and an opportunity to respond, not a comprehensive tutorial on every possible defense. The court rejected expansive interpretations that would burden officers with preemptively addressing every exemption, noting the absence of any limiting principle in such demands. Wrongful applications, where they occur, stem from individual errors, not flaws in the policy itself.

This decision directly overturns U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb’s injunction, which had halted the expansion on due process grounds. Cobb’s ruling exemplified the pattern of lower-court activism that has repeatedly frustrated legitimate executive efforts to secure the nation. The Biden judge’s nationwide stay ignored the statutory authority granted to DHS and prioritized procedural hurdles over practical sovereignty.

DHS officials hailed the outcome. “For years, DHS has arbitrarily limited expedited removal to 14 days even though it applies to illegal aliens who entered the country illegally within the last two years,” General Counsel James Percival stated. The agency now regains tools to enforce the law efficiently, offering voluntary returns with incentives rather than endless litigation.

“Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice?” Poetica Coffee wrote in its Instagram post.

A New York City coffee shop has banned a congressman over his support for Israel, and now the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has launched an investigation into the incident.

Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman stopped into Poetica Coffee on Sunday so that his daughter could use the bathroom. To thank the establishment for allowing her to do so, he bought a cup of coffee.

Hours after the visit, the coffee shop posted a message on Instagram, saying that they’d refunded his money over his support of Israel, the New York Times wrote.

“Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?” the post stated, which included a photo of the congressman at the counter.

“See, here at Poetica, we don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between,” the now-deleted post continued. “Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away. We issued you a refund—we don’t need your money (it’s probably coming from AIPAC anyways). Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don’t ever come to Poetica.”

With hyperscalers set to spend roughly $800 billion on data-center capex this year alone, alongside reshoring and broader grid electrification, baseload power demand is poised to surge.

We have made the case that intermittent solar and wind are no match for the scale and reliability requirements of the modern economy, and that nuclear power is emerging as the clean, always-on power source needed to power the AI era.

The Wall Street Journal reports Tuesday morning that the Trump administration plans to supercharge the deployment of nuclear power with a $17.5 billion low-interest loan program to help utilities finance orders for Westinghouse Electric Co.’s AP1000 reactors.

The Energy Department, under Secretary Chris Wright, plans to make five loans available for two-reactor projects, with the goal of expediting equipment orders and cutting up to three years from construction timelines.

Seven utilities have already signed formal letters of intent for the five available project loans, according to the Energy Department, which didn’t name the utilities.

Wright said the plan to accelerate the deployment timeline of ten reactors will “unleash the next American nuclear renaissance.”

Those reactors “will also help accelerate the timeline of building those large-scale reactors by up to three years, lowering construction costs and ensuring the United States is able to deliver on President Trump’s bold and ambitious energy addition agenda,” Wright said.

The AP1000 reactors, which produce about 1,100 megawatts of power, are slated to come online in 2035 and will generate enough electricity to power a midsize city or a large data center.

Carnival Cruise Line has banned 16 people after a massive fight broke out among passengers as they waited in a customs line in Florida.

Dramatic footage captured the moment a group of unruly individuals charged at each other at around 8am on Monday after the Carnival Conquest ship docked at Port Miami following a trip to the Bahamas.

Two unidentified women kicked off the brawl as one of them, dressed in a black strapless dress, ducked under a line divider and started swinging at a woman in polka dot pajamas.

Another woman, who donned a yellow and white maxi-dress, then jumped into the scuffle and grabbed on to the other’s hair.

The two of them went back and forth for minutes, tightly gripping each other’s hair as they tried to stay grounded with their bare feet on the floor.

Several men and women joined the melee as US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers attempted to break up the mayhem.

Suitcases and personal belongings were thrown around during the chaotic scene.

At one point, a man was seen holding a stanchion over his head as people screamed.

The Pung estate argued the county took property worth nearly $200,000 to satisfy a disputed debt of just over $2,000

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday unanimously sided with Isabella County, Michigan, rejecting a family’s claim that local governments must pay homeowners the full fair market value of property seized and sold in tax foreclosures rather than the lower price obtained at public auction.

In the 9-0 decision, the court ruled that under the Fifth Amendment, “the proper baseline under the Takings Clause is the price obtained in a tax sale, at least when the sale is fairly conducted in light of our country’s history of tax sales.”

Writing for the court, Justice Samuel Alito explained that “neither the Fifth nor the Eighth Amendment requires the government to compensate former owners based on the hypothetical fair market value of their property.”

The high court noted that creating a fair-market-value baseline would impose “unprecedented burdens” on local governments seeking to collect unpaid taxes, making these sales “impractical.”

In a 6-3 decision Tuesday morning, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration, holding that green card holders can be stripped of their status if they traveled abroad while facing criminal charges involving moral turpitude, finding that pending allegations are sufficient to subject them to removal proceedings.

The Court said immigration officials do not need clear and convincing evidence of a crime at the moment a green card holder reenters the U.S. to treat them as an “applicant for admission” by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The case,  Blanche v. Lau, was focused on Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese national who became a U.S. resident in 2007. He was arrested in 2012 and charged in New Jersey for allegedly selling $300,000 worth of knock-off shorts.

While Lau was awaiting trial, he left the U.S. but upon his return he was deemed an “applicant for admission” by the Department of Homeland Security which sought his removal from the United States.

The majority determined that the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) does not require border officers “to have clear and convincing evidence” of a disqualifying offense at the exact time of parole. Instead, they said the government can satisfy the evidentiary burden later during removal proceedings.

The Court accepted the government’s argument that requiring immediate proof at the border would be unworkable and that the statutory text (“has committed”) does not mandate a “conviction” or immediate proof before parole is granted.

The decision allows DHS to treat green card holders facing pending criminal charges as returning aliens awaiting inspection, and later removal proceedings, rather than readmitting them as residents.

The majority explained that removing a permanent resident on a charge of inadmissibility involves two steps:

At step one, only commission of the crime is required to show that the alien could be regarded as seeking to be admitted; at step two, conviction or admission is required to show that the alien seeking to be admitted is inadmissible.

Lau was correctly charged with inadmissibility. At step one, the Government regarded him as an alien seeking admission because he had committed a crime involving moral turpitude before attempting to reenter the country.

At step two, he was inadmissible and therefore removable because he had been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude.

Dr. Fauci approved USAID funding for COVID research in the Wuhan labs prior to its release in 2019-2020.

Crazed Democrats are piling on President Trump and Elon Musk for eliminating the USAID Democrat slush fund that was used to fix elections for socialists around the world and to fund the Wuhan laboratory COVID research.

Democrats have watched as their socialist brethren have lost several elections in South America now that USAID is no longer funding the communists and socialists.

At least seven elections were lost by the international left since USAID was disbanded.

The international left lost another election this weekend when the Socialist-cartel lackey Gustava Pedro lost to Trump supporter Abelardo De La Espriella in the presidential runoff election.

Western Lensman published an amazing video of how Democrats are running their mouths and lying about alleged deaths caused by eliminating USAID payments to crooked regimes and Democrat slush funds.

Just two months ago, Democrats lied and said defunding USAID had resulted in 2.5 million dead children.

Without doubt, of all the legislative items currently up for debate, the Save America Act tops the list, bar none.

The Save America Act, which imposes requirements for voter ID, proof of citizenship, and in-person voting (with qualified exceptions for military and the disabled), would represent the ultimate prophylactic to American democracy.

Its passage would guarantee the decade of reforms ushered in by President Trump and his MAGA coalition cannot be undone by a hostile bureaucracy or illegitimate government brought in by another future rigged election.

Of course, for years it has been the Democratic playbook to saturate voter rolls with illegal voters, be they duplicate voters across multiple states, illegal aliens, deceased citizens, or foreign influences.

The logic of this principle is that because their policies are so unpopular (for example, the trans sports issue is an archetypical 90-10 issue, where 90% of the country disfavors biological men competing against women in sports leagues), they must resort to anti-democratic, anti-constitutional means to impart their agenda, by force, upon the rest of the electorate.

The effect of this disenfranchises real voters, American citizens, whose votes are then “drowned out” by illegal aliens, and other non-eligible classes.

By muddying the waters so much of what it means to be an American citizen, the Democrats are intentionally rigging a system to their favor to ensure they have a permanent reign of power.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has busted several fraud schemes across the country in recent weeks, FBI Director Kash Patel said in his latest weekly update to the agency.

Patel highlighted some of the results of Operation Riptide, which focuses on “criminal actors and the key services they rely on, their infrastructure, their tools and services, their communications platforms, and their money.”

FBI Cleveland, for instance, disrupted a Chinese phishing platform “linked to the theft of millions of credit card numbers and nearly $1.9 billion dollars in losses worldwide,” Patel revealed.

As a result of the efforts of the FBI in Charlotte, two individuals were convicted for operating a business email compromise scheme that stole $25 million from U.S. companies.

“Thanks to FBI Boston, our Cyber Division, and international partners, we helped dismantle a VPN service used by ransomware groups around the world,” Patel said, later adding, “This is exactly what Operation Riptide is about: targeting the cybercriminal ecosystem at every level. And we’re just getting started.”

Hillary Clinton is still struggling to accept the results of the 2016 election. In an interview for Netflix’s “The American Experiment” docuseries that releases June 24, Clinton calls the Electoral College “an abomination for obvious reasons,” Variety reports.

The “obvious reason” is that it didn’t work in her favor. Clinton handily lost the Electoral College in 2016, receiving just 227 votes compared to President Donald Trump’s 304. Clinton won the popular vote by 2.9 million votes, although only thanks to California and New York, states well-documented as maintaining inaccurate voter rolls and sloppy elections.

Ever since, Clinton has struggled to accept the results of the 2016 election and keeps blaming everything but herself. Speaking to CNN in 2017 Clinton said the Electoral College “needs to be eliminated” and, “In a democracy, we should respect the will of the people and to me, that means it’s time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president.”

In one case, Clinton told The New York Times podcast that she was “the candidate that they basically stole an election from.” She’s also repeatedly blamed foreign interference for her loss — another unsubstantiated claim.

If Clinton and her party succeed in “abolishing” or “eliminating” the Electoral College, then winning California and New York would be all that’s necessary to become president of the entire country. That, of course, would fundamentally change the country.

The FBI has arrested two more members of the conspiracy to launch a terror attack against the White House UFC 250 event that was held on June 14.

William Lee Spartacus Falkner and Jordan W. Rincker were arrested on Friday and Sunday respectively. Both have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

Falker is said to have “experience with drones” in both manufacturing and flying. Online conversations obtained between Falker and co-conspirators revealed that he had planned how to weaponize and deploy drones in hopes of achieving “maximum destructive impact.”

Rincker was reportedly sent $1,200 intended to help facilitate travel arrangements for members of the plot. He was further discovered to have procured, distributed, and received firearms, ballistic armor, night vision, and drone manufacturing components for and with another member of the conspiracy.

The plot, masterminded by an illegal alien who was granted legal status by President Barack Obama through DACA, involved causing a mass-casualty incident by deploying drones and sniper teams while targeting the UFC event. The suspected motivation was to “cause enough chaos to bring about the overthrow of the U.S. government” according to one member of the plot.

A newly reported ransom message connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie allegedly included an apology for her death and marked a significant turning point in the investigation into the missing Arizona woman, as reported by the New York Post.

According to a report from Air Mail, one of several messages sent to Guthrie’s family and media outlets after her disappearance claimed that the 84-year-old had died accidentally after being abducted from her Tucson home.

Guthrie, the mother of NBC “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since Feb. 1.

The Birmingham Islamic Society’s own founding documents reveal not an ordinary house of worship but a deliberately built parallel system — one that subordinates its members’ finances, families, and final wishes to Sharia over Alabama law, channels its property into a Muslim Brotherhood–linked trust, and has long entrusted its pulpit to leaders with extremist ties.

The Birmingham Islamic Society (BIS) operates one of Alabama’s largest and most influential mosques. While it presents itself to the public as a standard 501(c)(3) religious organization, its internal governing documents and leadership history tell a very different and troubling story.

BIS’s constitution explicitly places the entire organization under Sharia (Islamic law). The mosque routes its assets and disputes to the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), an entity identified in federal court records as part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s infrastructure for controlling property in the United States. It also promotes an Islamic Last Will and Testament that overrides Alabama law on inheritance and child custody in favor of Quranic rules.

Over the years, BIS has employed imams with documented ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, including one who was named in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial. Two of its original founders have promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories and antisemitic claims on social media as recently as 2026. Most recently, its affiliated Islamic Academy of Alabama tried to expand in Hoover but was blocked by strong community pushback.

This is not a fringe mosque operating in the shadows. This is a major, well-established Islamic institution in Alabama that has deliberately built itself around Sharia and long-term institutional control.

In what has become a tiresome ritual among the ultra-wealthy, a hedge fund titan and his socialite wife are bankrolling efforts to impose socialist housing policies on New Yorkers while enjoying the fruits of capitalism from multimillion-dollar properties. Bobby and Carola Jain have funneled tens of millions into initiatives that push “decommodification” of housing and universal schemes, all while residing in luxury that most New Yorkers can only dream of.

This is not mere inconsistency. It is the predictable outcome of a worldview that demands others sacrifice for the collective good while exempting the enlightened elite. The Jains’ patronage of think tanks and policy shops aligned with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reveals a deeper truth about modern progressivism: it thrives on the rhetoric of equality even as its architects insulate themselves from the consequences.

Bobby Jain built his fortune through high-stakes finance, rising at Credit Suisse before serving as co-chief investment officer at Millennium Management. He launched his own hedge fund, Jain Global, with an impressive $5.3 billion in commitments. After modest results, the fund returned capital to outside investors and now manages money primarily for Millennium.

Two iconic colors will disappear in the process.

Slowly but surely, the Make America Healthy Again movement, headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is enacting change in the food manufacturing industry.

Now, the long-beloved confection M&M’s is joining the push for a healthier America.

But all change – even positive – comes with a cost: as a result of the changes, two historic colors may end up scrapped.

The New York Post reported:

“As the iconic candy marks its 85th year this summer and in a broader effort to remove artificial dyes, M&M’s will debut a natural-ingredient version.
