Let’s talk about Pete Hegseth and the deaths of Narco terrorists. We shouldn’t have to do this, but the Democrats are making a big deal about it.
Republicans give a sigh of relief by winning a big election yesterday.
And the Left wing violence continues. And it will continue until we do something about it.
The Pete Hegseth Thing
BREAKING:đ¨ DEMS OPENLY FLIRT WITH A MILITARY COUP
Democrat Senators and Congress members â including Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly â just released a video directly addressing the military and intel community⌠telling them they can and âmust refuseâ orders under President⌠pic.twitter.com/30ms5Y0E0D
A growing number of lawmakers, legal experts, and commentators are saying that senior Trump administration officials may have ordered conduct that, if proven, would qualify as a war crime under U.S. and international law, but no court has yet made that determination.â
What is being alleged
Reports allege that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a verbal order to âkill everybodyâ on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean, and that after an initial U.S. strike left two men alive in the water, a second strike was ordered that killed the survivors. Members of Congress from both parties, former military lawyers, and outside legal experts say that intentionally targeting survivors who are hors de combat (out of the fight) would violate the laws of armed conflict and could constitute a war crime if the facts are confirmed and if the administrationâs own claim that this is an âarmed conflictâ is accepted.â
Where the secretary of state comes in
The official currently serving as secretary of state is Marco Rubio, who is not reported to have ordered the strike but is part of the national security team overseeing the broader campaign and has strongly supported an aggressive posture toward the International Criminal Court and warâcrimes investigations. Rubioâs State Department has sanctioned Palestinian human rights groups and ICCâlinked actors who pushed for investigations of alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza, which critics argue undermines accountability mechanisms even as questions mount about U.S. conduct in the Caribbean operation.â
Legal status and next steps
So far, what exists are serious public allegations and preliminary political and legal assessments, not formal warâcrime charges against any cabinet official. Congressional committees have opened inquiries into the boat strikes, former JAG officers have issued a memo outlining potential lawâofâwar violations, and outside commentators have called for investigations or prosecutions, but any actual warâcrime case would require a full evidentiary record and a competent court willing to assert jurisdiction over U.S. officials.
Some things:
Hegseth, the White House, and the generals say this story is not true.
Who cares if this is true? These were narco terrorists.
What was the purpose of a Hellfire at this boat? To kill the terrorists. If terrorists did live, why would killing them mean anything later.

Republican Matt Van Epps fended off a challenge from far-Left Democrat Aftyn Behn on Tuesday during a special election for Tennesseeâs 7th Congressional District.
With 95% of the vote in, DecisionDeskHQ has called the race for Van Epps 53.9% to 45%. Other outlets followed shortly after.
Van Eppsâ victory allows Republicans to breathe a sigh of relief after Democrats surged money and resources into the race, hoping to capitalize on typically low Republican turnout in special elections. A win for Behn in the deep red district would have sent shockwaves throughout the nation. The self-described âradicalâ community organizer had previously voiced support for burning down police stations and supported transgender surgeries on young children.
The race was scheduled after former Rep. Mark Green announced his resignation earlier this year. Green won the district, which stretches from Tennesseeâs borders with Kentucky and Alabama and includes parts of Nashville, by over 20 points.
A 54-year-old man has been arrested after carrying out a self-described âterrorist attackâ by throwing Molotov cocktails at security officers outside of a federal building in California that houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices, the Justice Department said Tuesday.Â
Jose Francisco Jovel was accused by federal investigators of carrying out the attack on Monday at a building in Los Angeles that houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices. Investigators say that the attack was motivated by opposition to the Trump administrationâs crackdown on illegal immigration.Â
âThis case exemplifies how misleading and hateful rhetoric against federal law enforcement can and does result in violence,â said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. âIrresponsible rhetoric by politicians and activists have real-world consequences. It must stop.â
Will Republicans ever stop chasing the ball of yarn Democrats always are throwing?
The gambling investigations in the NBA are expanding.
And young women don’t want to live in the United States. Bet you’re wondering what I’m going to say to that.
Commentary
Why do Democrats keep chasing Democrat hysteria?
I Told You This Would Get Worse
According to Fox News:
The NBA is reportedly seeking cell phones and other property from multiple teams as part of its investigation into illegal sports gambling.
Los Angeles Lakers assistant trainer Mike Mancias and executive administrator Randy Mims, who each have close ties to superstar LeBron James, have reportedly already cooperated in handing over their cell phones to the outside law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, which has been contracted by the NBA to help carry out the investigation, The Athletic first reported.
“The NBA engaged an independent law firm to investigate the allegations in the indictment once it was made public,” an NBA spokesman said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday. “As is standard in these kinds of investigations, a number of different individuals and organizations were asked to preserve documents and records. Everyone has been fully cooperative.”
One in five Americans say they would prefer to leave the United States permanently if they had the chance, according to new polling from Gallup, with the strongest sentiment coming from young women.
Gallupâs data shows that 40 percent of women aged 15 to 44 now say they would move abroad permanently if given the opportunity, a figure that is four times higher than it was in 2014. Young women have seen the largest increase of any demographic group.
The rise began in 2016 following the end of President Barack Obamaâs presidency. In June and July of that year, with Donald Trump already the presumptive nominee, the number of younger women wanting to migrate began to climb. In President Joe Bidenâs final year in office, the figure reached a peak of 44 percent.
Gallup noted the widening split between younger men and younger women, as only 19 percent of young men say they would be willing to leave the US.
Why do these broads want to move out of the country? Later in the article, the Post Millennial gives us the reason:
Political views are also a major factor. Gallup said, âIn 2025, there is a 25-point gap in the desire to migrate between Americans who approve and those who disapprove of the countryâs leadership.â The gap was far smaller in earlier years and widened during Trumpâs first term before narrowing under Biden, then climbing again in 2025.
President Donald Trump said on Friday he would likely sue the BBC next week for as much as $5 billion after the British broadcaster admitted it wrongly edited a video of a speech he gave but insisted there was no legal basis for his claim.
The British Broadcasting Corporation has been plunged into its biggest crisis in decades after two senior leaders resigned following accusations of bias, including over the editing of Trumpâs speech on January 6, 2021, when his supporters entered the Capitol.
Trumpâs lawyers had initially set a Friday deadline for the BBC to retract its documentary or face a lawsuit for âno lessâ than $1 billion. They also demanded an apology and compensation for what they called âoverwhelming reputational and financial harm,â according to a letter seen by Reuters.

A Pennsylvania man blamed his dog for shooting him in the back with a shotgun in a freak accident that landed him in the hospital for surgery.
The 53-year-old Shillington man, who was not identified, told cops he was cleaning his shotgun when he placed it on the bed and sat down â a move the overenthusiastic pooch took as an invitation to join his master for some cuddles.
The next thing he knew, the weapon went off, striking the dog dad in his lower back.
âHeâs not sure what stage of cleaning he was in at the time, so itâs unsure if the dogâs paw may have gotten caught inside the trigger and the safety was off or if there was some sort of manufacturer malfunction,â Shillington Police Cpl. Michael Schoone told WFMZ.
The victimâs son called 911, cops said, and the man was rushed to the hospital.
Investigators found a spent shell casing inside the shotgun, and police used the bizarre incident as an opportunity to remind gun owners about the importance of being cautious at all times when handling firearms.
A criminal gets off on assault on an ICE officer. Yes, assault with a sandwich is still assault.
Canada proves that the “slippery slope” theory isn’t a theory. And, of course, children are affected again.
And Leftists in New York are cheering Sharia Law and our deaths again after Zorhan Mamdani’s win this week. They are going to get what they deserve.
This Doesn’t Fix Anything
According to Fox News:
A former Department of Justice worker on trial for throwing a sandwich at a federal officer in Washington, D.C., earlier this year was found not guilty on Thursday.
Sean Dunn struck a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent (CBP) in the chest with a sandwich in August. He was facing charges of assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating and interfering with a federal officer.
Jurors deliberated for about seven hours before reaching a verdict. After it was read, Dunn hugged his lawyers in the courtroom.
“I believe that I was protecting the rights of immigrants. And let us not forget that the Great Seal of the United States says, E Pluribus Unum,” Dunn said after the verdict was read. “That means, from many, one, every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here, no matter how you identify, you have the right to live a life that is free.”
During the trial, Dunnâs legal team insisted he threw the sandwich in protest of President Donald Trumpâs deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., and it was not a violent attack.
Video of the incident quickly went viral, with Dunn being heralded as a hero by residents throughout the city who also opposed Trumpâs move to occupy the nationâs capital with federal agents.
Dunnâs lawyers did not dispute that Dunn threw the sandwich at a CBP officer outside a nightclub, though they insisted it was done as an “exclamation point” to express his negative feelings about the National Guardâs deployment within the nationâs capital.
Advocates for assisted suicide in Canada, where itâs been legal for just under a decade, are pushing to expand the practice to children.
Canadaâs euthanasia program, known as MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying), started back in 2016 for people whose natural death was âreasonably foreseeableâ and wanted to end their lives. Itâs already been expanded â both expanding the pool of adults who are eligible and how it can be administered, leading to an explosion of suicides in recent years.
Now, groups are calling for minors as young as 12 years old to be included in the government-funded suicide program. One advocacy group, called âDying With Dignity Canada,â recommends minors as young as 12 be included in the program, and goes as far as to suggest 16 and 17-year-olds shouldnât even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit broad criteria.
The group calls for assessing age eligibility based on âmaturityâ rather than âchronological age.â
Experts say the advocacy shows there was merit to the âslippery slopeâ argument made against the law from the outset.

Donald Trump has some big wins in Asia so far this week. Let’s talk about it.
The deal involving TikTok might be done. I do have my doubts.
And Zorhan Mamdani lies about Islamophobia to gain sympathy but only makes an ass out of himself.
Already Successful
On Sunday, the United States signed several trade and critical minerals agreements with four Southeast Asian countriesâMalaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnamâduring a summit in Kuala Lumpur. These deals aim to address trade imbalances, diversify supply chains, and reduce dependency on China, particularly regarding rare earth elements crucial for industries like semiconductors and electric vehicles.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed reciprocal trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia, and a framework agreement with Thailand to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers. The U.S. will maintain a 19% tariff on exports from these countries, though some goods will have zero tariffs.
Additionally, Vietnam, which had a trade surplus of $123 billion with the U.S. last year, agreed to buy more American products to help reduce this gap. The U.S. imposed a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports, but a framework agreement was also established.
The deals focused heavily on critical minerals supply chains. Malaysia, in particular, committed to not banning or imposing quotas on critical mineral exports to the U.S. but did not specify whether this applied to raw or processed rare earths. Malaysia has banned the export of raw rare earths to retain resources for its own processing industry.
The agreements also cover digital trade, services, labor rights, environmental protections, and market access. Malaysia agreed to streamline regulations for U.S. products and secured tariff exemptions for goods like aerospace equipment, pharmaceuticals, and commodities such as palm oil and rubber. Thailand, which agreed to eliminate tariffs on 99% of goods, also relaxed foreign ownership rules in telecommunications and pledged significant purchases of U.S. goods, including $18.8 billion in aircraft and $5.4 billion in energy products.
President Donald Trump attended a peace ceremony for Cambodia and Thailand on Sunday after helping mediate a ceasefire agreement between the two countries.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul joined Trump in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to formalize the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords brokered earlier this year. The agreement ended a five-day conflict this summer that resulted in dozens of deaths, according to NBC News.
âOn behalf of the United States, Iâm proud to help settle this conflict and forge a future for the region,â said Trump.
Under the terms of the ceasefire, Thailand will release 18 Cambodian soldiers detained during the conflict. Both countries will remove heavy weapons from along their shared border, and officials with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will monitor the ceasefire.
âWe saved maybe millions of lives on this one peace deal,â said Trump.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave an optimistic update on the fate of the TikTok deal on Sunday, saying that a framework of a deal has been reached.
A deal on the future of TikTok is set to be finalized, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says, telling @margbrennan a final deal was reached during U.S.-China talks last month in Madrid.
âI believe that as of today, all the details are ironed out, and that will be for the two⌠pic.twitter.com/psJNoiGYRN
According to the text of the executive order, the framework resolves the national security concerns by removing âthe TikTok application and certain other applications from the âcontrolâ of a foreign adversary and precludes any âoperational relationshipâ between a formerly affiliated entity controlled by a foreign adversary and the new joint venture.â
It also âprohibits the storage of sensitive United States user data in a manner that would place such data under the control of a foreign adversary and requires such data to be stored in a cloud environment run by an American company.â
U.S. and Chinese economic officials met at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, negotiating a framework for a trade deal to be finalized by Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping later in the week. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the threat of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, set to begin November 1, was eliminated. Additionally, China is expected to delay its rare earths export controls for a year as the policy is reassessed.
The trade deal is expected to extend a tariff truce beyond its November 10 expiration and revive U.S. soybean sales to China, benefiting American farmers. Both sides discussed trade expansion, rare earths access, the U.S. fentanyl crisis, U.S. port fees, and the potential transfer of TikTok to U.S. ownership. The deal will need further internal approval from both countries.
Trump, who is in Malaysia for an ASEAN summit, expressed optimism about reaching a deal with China. The trade talks come after a period of rising tensions, particularly over Chinaâs rare earths export controls, which threaten global supply chains. Trump also signaled potential future meetings with Xi in China or the U.S.
In addition to trade, Trump aims to address issues like Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the war in Ukraine in his discussions with Xi.
Hundreds of requests have poured into the watchdog group StopAntisemitism after it offered last week to help New York City residents relocate over the potential rise of Zohran Mamdani to mayor.
Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor, leads former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, making an independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa by double-digits in polls. Mamdani calls himself a Democratic Socialist and has been accused by critics of courting antisemites if not trafficking in Jew-hatred himself.
âNew Yorkers â looking to relocate if Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral race? Weâd love to connect you to realtors in FL, TX, CT, etc. You deserve to live in a city not run by an antisemite,â an October 16 X post from StopAntisemitism says.
âIf Mamdani is elected, we will make it our mission to remove as much of his tax base as possible. Antisemites understand one thing â consequences,â a follow-up post says.
More than 300 people have expressed interest in StopAntisemitismâs offer since the post went up, group founder Liora Rez told The Daily Wire. In addition, real estate agents from across the United States have contacted Rezâs group to offer their services for anyone wishing to relocate out of The Big Apple.
Mayor Brandon Johnson has DEMANDED for everyone to stop calling undocumented people, âillegal aliensâ..
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the next Democratic presidential nominee must vow to demolish President Donald Trump‘s White House ballroom, proposing the pledge a litmus test for the partyâs 2028 contenders.
“Donât even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE,” Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday.
Swalwell’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for additional comment.
For the first time in its history, the White House will have a formal ballroom, a new addition built where the East Wing once stood, a project that has become a political flashpoint as photos of the demolition fuel debate over President Trumpâs mark on the historic residence.
On July 31, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the planned construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. The sprawling ballroom will accommodate approximately 650 seated guests and will stay true to the classical design of the White House.
“The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building’s entrance,” Leavitt said, adding the new ballroom will be “a much-needed and exquisite addition.”
Construction on the White House grounds, which began earlier this month, is estimated to cost $250 million and will be financed by Trump and private donors.
The ballroom isn’t the only update.Â
Trump has introduced gold accents in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room, a new monument dubbed the “Arc de Trump,” the “walk of fame” with portraits of former presidents, including a photo of the autopen representing former President Joe Biden’s time in office, added stone pavers to the Rose Garden lawn and installed two 88-foot flagpoles.
If you watched the World Series, you might remember this ad:
According to the Daily Wire:
The liberal Canadian premier who launched a $75 million anti-tariff ad campaign in the United States featuring former President Ronald Reagan will yank the effort after pressure from President Donald Trump.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Friday afternoon that he would pause the ad campaign put out by his administration targeting Americans starting on Monday. That announcement came after Trump on Thursday said he had ended all trade talks with Canada over the ad, calling it an effort to influence American politics.
âOur intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses,â Ford posted on X. âWeâve achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels. Iâve directed my team to keep putting our message in front of Americans over the weekend so that we can air our commercial during the first two World Series games.â
Ford said he would âpause [the] U.S. advertising campaign effective Monday so that trade talks can resumeâ after speaking with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
An Ohio man who was convicted in the high-profile beating death of 17-year-old Ethan Liming has been released from prison, and was arrested and charged this past week in a different murder.
Deshawn Stafford, 24, has been charged with murdering Timothy Hutchinson, a 25-year-old Ohio man who was working as an engineer in his hometown. Hutchinson was reportedly struck unintentionally during an exchange of gunfire allegedly between Stafford and another individual.
In addition to the murder charge, Stafford is facing charges of felonious assault, discharging a firearm on a public roadway, having a weapon while under disability, drug trafficking, and possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
A GoFundMe for Hutchinson set up by the victimâs sister says Hutchinson graduated from the mechanical engineering program of University of Akron less than a year ago.
In the wake of The Big Beautiful Bill going into affect and the government shutdown, a new trend is going off on TikTok: People bitching about not getting their food stamps.
The Department of Justice has decide to do what the local court systems won’t.
And you might be asking what those people were protesting at the “No Kings” protest. Turns out a lot of the protesters didn’t know either.

This Needs to Happen
According to the Daily Wire:
U.S. Attorny for D.C. Jeanine Pirro announced on Monday charges against two teens allegedly involved in the attack against a Department of Government Efficiency staffer over the summer.
Federal prosecutors have charged Lawrence Cotton-Powell, 19, along with Anthony Taylor, 18, with robbery, assault, and carjacking in connection with the attack on a DOGE staffer, Edward Coristine, known as âBig Balls,â and another person in early August. Not long before Coristine was beaten while defending a woman, Cotton-Powell and Taylor were involved in the mugging of a victim named Ethan Levine, Pirro said.
In addition to the mugging prior to Coristine, Pirro said that both suspects are repeat offenders who should have been in jail for other offenses and never had the opportunity to attack the two men in August.
âLawrence Cotton-Powell is 19 years of age. He is now charged with robbery, first-degree robbery for which he faces 15 years in prison. He also faces a charge of assault with intent to commit robbery, another 15 years, and robbery for Edward Coristine, 15 years, assault with intent to commit robbery, another 15 years, and attempted carjacking, five years,â Pirro said.
The U.S. attorney then went on to detail how judges ignored her officeâs requests for jail time for Cotton-Powell, instead letting the teen loose on probation. A short time after he was released in each case, he allegedly committed other crimes that landed him back in the crosshairs of prosecutors.
âThe codefendant in this case is an individual by the name of Anthony Taylor. He â charged also with the same arrest â he is fraught with the same crimes,â Pirro said.
The attack on Coristine, which left the federal staffer bloodied, appeared to trigger President Donald Trumpâs crackdown on crime in major American cities. The president has deployed National Guardsmen to areas such as Washington, D.C., and Memphis, Tennessee, to deter crime. He has attempted to deploy troops to other locations, such as Seattle, but has been blocked by the courts.
The charges against Cotton-Powell and Taylor come after two teens involved in the attack received probation, a punishment criticized by Pirro and Trump.
The president called the sentences of probation, handed down to a 15-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, âterrible.â The president and Pirro have called for stricter penalties against youth in D.C. to deter crime that has exploded among the capitalâs teens.
âI think the judge should be ashamed of himself,â said Trump.
These people have no idea what theyâre even protesting. Saying âif the illegals are peaceful itâs illegal to deport themâ is like saying, âIf a burglar tiptoes into your house quietly, youâre not allowed to kick them out.đ¤

There is hope and joy in Israel today and Donald Trump is getting all the credit!
President Trump brings back an old American holiday. Happy Columbus Day folks!
And Democrats are fuming about what Trump is doing during the government shutdown. Hey, FAFO!
What Great News!
According to Fox News:
President Donald Trump thanked Israeli lawmakers for their enthusiastic welcome in the Knesset on Monday as the nation celebrated the release of all 20 living hostages from Hamas captivity.
“After two harrowing years in darkness and captivity, 20 courageous hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families,” Trump said. “Twenty-eight more precious loved ones are coming home at last to rest in this sacred soil for all of time. And after so many years of unceasing war and endless danger, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace.”
The president’s comments came as reports emerged that only four of the 28 bodies held in Gaza are expected to be returned on Monday, which could risk the stability of the ceasefire and its ability to progress to the second phase, which would see the disarmament of Hamas and the further withdrawal of Israeli forces.Â
“This is not only the end of a war. This is the end of an age of terror and death, the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God,” Trump said.Â
The hostages have been in captivity for 738 days.
This Is Another 80/20 Issue
According to Perplexity:
President Donald Trump has issued a formal proclamation honoring Columbus Day in 2025, emphasizing Christopher Columbus as an “original American hero” and reaffirming the official federal celebration of the holiday. The proclamation was signed on October 9, 2025, and designates Monday, October 13, 2025, as Columbus Day, calling upon Americans to observe the day with ceremonies, activities, and by displaying the U.S. flag on all public buildings.
The proclamation is as follows:
âNOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 13, 2025, as Columbus Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in honor of the great Christopher Columbus and all who have contributed to building our Nationâ.â
In sum, the 2025 proclamation strongly reasserts Columbus Day as a federal holiday and is positioned as a statement against changing historical narratives, while deliberately omitting the growing national observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
I am so tired of hearing about Indigenous Peoples Day. Why are we celebrating a people who we conquered? The Natives Americans were not peaceful or innocent when it comes to the war. Where do you think the term “Indian giver” came from? The Indians were known to sell us land and then want it back after the Americans developed it into something successful. New York is an example of that.
Honestly, what are we celebrating? The Indians:
Held Slaves.
Practiced human sacrifice, including child sacrifice.
Practiced canabalism.
Practiced inbreeding.
Had no technology (they didn’t even have the wheel).
Fourteen-hundred employees at the Internal Revenue Service will be laid off in a process initiated Friday, The Daily Wire has learned.
The number is larger than anyone expected, with the IRS union filing a lawsuit to stop what it said it had âheardâ might be 1,300 layoffs across the entire Treasury Department. The real number, an Office of Management and Budget official told The Daily Wire, is 1,400 at the IRS alone, plus more at other components of Treasury.
The layoffs come as Democrats refuse to fund the government at all unless the Republican majority agrees to increased spending for non-citizensâ health care and other topics. That has resulted in a government shutdown, wherein employees are sent home and traditionally receive back pay once a deal is reached.
The Trump administration has countered that if federal employees are going to be prohibited from working due to a shutdown, some will never come back at all â particularly those that staff agencies favored by Democrats.
The IRS was targeted as a bloated agency that Democrats have used for political purposes, including targeting conservative nonprofits, the OMB official said. The official said the tax collecting agency spent $35 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style weaponry between 2006 and 2023, and advertised job postings that said special agents must be willing to use âdeadly force.â
Venezuelan opposition leader MarĂa Corina Machado, who was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, said that she was dedicating the award to President Donald Trump âfor his decisive support of our cause.â
Machado, who has been targeted by the NicolĂĄs Maduro regime in socialist Venezuela, was named the winner of this yearâs Nobel Peace Prize for her âtireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and ⌠her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.â Machado said that the prize is a ârecognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans,â adding that Venezuela is relying on Trump and the United States to help the country âachieve freedom and democracy.â
âI dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!â Machado wrote.
On his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump shared a screenshot of a similar post from Machado. Earlier on Friday, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said that the Nobel Committee âproved they place politics over peaceâ by not awarding Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.
Conflicts that have been ended or paused under the Trump administration:
The Jeffry Epstein case is heating up and Donald Trump can’t figure out what all the fuss is about. I’ll let him in on why there’s so much fuss.
Rep. Hank Johnson tries to join the latest Democratic trend. It’s truly horrible.
And the Trump administration proposes a new “pro-family” policy. I’m not liking it too much.
You Answered Your Own Question
According to the Daily Wire:
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday night that the controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case is being kept alive by âpretty bad people,â including the âfake newsâ media.
Trump was asked about the Epstein case, which has set him at odds with much of his base over the past week, multiple times on Tuesday. On his way back to the White House after meeting with tech and energy executives in Pittsburgh, the president was asked by a reporter why his supporters âhave been so interested in the Epstein story and so upset with how itâs been handled.â
NOW – Trump: "I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going." pic.twitter.com/JL8xMR7VIU
Democrats are flipping out about the Epstein files. They had no interest over the last five years, but now they do. Here is Dick Durbin demanding the release of the files.
Democrat Sen Dick Durbin previously BLOCKED the release of the Epstein files while serving as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee; HE COULD HAVE RELEASED THEM THEN IF HE CARED ABOUT THE VICTIMS!
The State Department is rolling out a âpro-familyâ exemption to the federal hiring freeze for the families of diplomats working abroad, according to an internal memo obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire.
The exemption will allow diplomats to staff key embassy posts with eligible family members, known as EFMs. Eligible family members are often the spouse of the State Department employee assigned to the overseas station, and have traditionally been used to temporarily staff certain positions.Â
âThis is a commonsense, pro-family policy to keep the family members of our diplomats together as they work toward implementing the America First agenda at our overseas posts,â a senior State Department official told The Daily Wire.Â
On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order mandating a freeze on hiring new federal employees. At the same time, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been overhauling the State Department. As part of this reorganization, the State Department has begun mass layoffs for bureaucratic positions, largely based in Washington, D.C.
The State Department said in the unclassified memo that the exemption would help support families and âsupport the operational readiness of U.S. Missionsâ and that it would be âa critical step forward in supporting our overseas staffing needs and family member employment opportunities.â
The memo, which will be sent out later today, authorizes overseas posts to start hiring eligible family members into empty positions that were previously occupied by someone with similar status. The freeze exemption will not allow for new positions to be created and cannot be used to fill vacancies previously filled by non-family member employees.Â
âThis exemption to the hiring freeze for EFMs makes available a pool of highly qualified candidates who can quickly fill both temporary and long-term positions that support operational readiness,â the memo says. âThese will include positions in human resources, finance, security, political/economic, community liaison, medical, and consular services, ensuring that overseas posts function smoothly.â
The memo says that the policy reflects âthe Departmentâs commitment to operational readiness, workforce morale, and the well-being of [Foreign Service] familiesâ and that employees are encouraged to âprioritizeâ the hiring of eligible family members.Â
The exemption will also allow eligible family members to join the Foreign Service Family Reserve Corps, meaning that they will have an active security clearance allowing them to fill âdomestic and overseas positions quickly when needed.â
President Donald Trump championed over $90 billion in fresh energy and artificial intelligence investments in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
Trump led the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit, accompanied by top tech and energy leaders, as well as Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) and members of his Cabinet.
âThis afternoon, 20 leading technology and energy companies are announcing more than $92 billion of investments in Pennsylvania,â said Trump. âThis is a really triumphant day for the people of the commonwealth and for the United States of America.â
âThe investments being announced this afternoon include more than $56 billion dollars in new energy infrastructure, and more than $36 billion dollars in new data center projects. And a lot more than that are going to be announced in the coming weeks,â he said.
The Trump administration has prioritized the development of both AI and energy in a bid to lead the world in the advance of the next major technological breakthrough. The administration has placed special emphasis on the need to compete with China in AI development.
âWeâre here today because we believe that Americaâs destiny is to dominate every industry and be the first in every technology, and that includes being the worldâs number one superpower in artificial intelligence,â the president said.
âWe are way ahead of China,â he added. âI have to say weâre way ahead of China, and the plants are starting up, the construction is starting up.â
The article concludes:
The Energy Department released a report earlier this month warning âthat blackouts could increase by 100 times in 2030 if the U.S. continues to shutter reliable power sources and fails to add additional firm capacity.â
Prosecutors in Colorado are reportedly planning to dismiss charges against a registered sex offender whom witnesses say attempted to abduct a child from an elementary school last year, citing his âincompetence to stand trial.â
The 18th Judicial District Attorneyâs Officeâwhich has jurisdiction over Arapahoe County, including the cities of Aurora and Littletonâconfirmed to FOX31 on Friday that it plans to drop the case against 33-year-old Solomon Galligan.
Galligan had been charged with one count of attempted kidnapping following an April 2024 incident in which he allegedly tried to abduct an 11-year-old boy during recess at Black Forest Hills Elementary School.
According to Aurora police, Galligan is a registered sex offender, with his registration filed through the Pueblo County Sheriffâs Office.
Following his arrest, Galligan was subjected to a court-ordered mental competency evaluation, which concluded that he is not fit to stand trial.
Consequently, prosecutors stated that they are compelled to dismiss the charges due to his legal incapacity. They emphasized that the decision is not a reflection of Galliganâs presumed guilt or innocence.
The 2024 incident was captured on video, depicting the 33-year-old man pursuing and attempting to forcibly grab the young boy while other children in the vicinity ran away in fear.
33-year-old Solomon Galligan was caught trying to kidnap an 11-year-old boy in Aurora, Colorado, but will soon be freed due to being mentally incompetent to stand trial.

Potentially dangerous social media trends are getting kids, and potentially homeowners, into trouble this summer while kids are out of school.
Two trends in particular are going viral on social media, including the “UrbanEx,” or “urban exploration,” challenge and the “door-kicking challenge.”
“There’s a new trend every day. ⌠You go to the FYP, the For You Page, you see what’s trending. And then pretty soon, you’ll see content created by children, which is in and of itself problematic. A lot of the children under the age of 13 ⌠are legally not allowed to even be on social media,” Titania Jordan, CMO and chief parent officer at Bark Technologies, a parental control app, told Fox News Digital.
Social media challenges prompt users to create more “content that elicits a reaction,” she explained, “that has viral components, resurfaces and resurfaces again, thanks again to the algorithm.”
“This sort of content is going to get likes, it’s going to get comments, it is going to get shares. It’s going to encourage children to try to emulate it because it’s clout â they gain clout from their peers because of this,” she said. “âŚAny challenge like this, children aren’t thinking, âIs this the right thing to do? Is this safe?â They’re thinking, ‘I want validation,’ and children are going to get killed. I mean, just one person who is armed who gets their door kicked in by a kid, and you’re gonna have another national headline that is very sad.”
Additionally, in Ohio, if a person’s leg enters another person’s home by kicking a door in, that can result in a burglary charge, on top of possibly trespassing charges, Dolan explained.
Homeowners might also face a lengthy process in the criminal justice system if they choose to defend themselves with a gun if someone kicks their door open, Dolan said.
The Left doesn’t even wait for the victims of the Texas flood to be found before they go out and blame Trump and racism for the flood. Turns out both claims are asinine.
An argument for gun control comes from an unlikely source after a shooting in Philadelphia and the argument is about as coherent as all the other arguments.
And the violence is escalating from the hard Left.
Of Course It’s His Fault
The Department of Homeland Security put out its own thread, which stated:
The mainstream media is deliberately lying about the events leading up to the catastrophic flooding in Texas. The National Weather Service executed timely, precise forecasting and warnings, despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region. Here is the timeline of NWSâs proactive response:
Morning, July 3rd: NWS Austin/San Antonio conducts forecast briefings for emergency management, flagging flash flood risks. Morning, July 3rd: National Water Center issues Flood Hazard Outlook, identifying flash flood potential for Kerrville and surrounding areas. 1:18 PM, July 3rd: NWS issues Flood Watch for Kerr County, effective through Friday morning. 6:10 PM, July 3rd: Weather Prediction Center issues first of three Mesoscale Precipitation Discussions, warning of excessive rainfall and flash flood potential. 6:22 PM, July 3rd: National Water Center warns of considerable flooding risks north and west of San Antonio, including Kerrville. 11:41 PM, July 3rd: First Flash Flood Warning issued for Bandera County.
1:14 AM, July 4th: Flash Flood Warning with âConsiderableâ tag issued for Bandera and Kerr Counties, triggering Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) and NOAA Weather Radio notifications. 4:03 AM, July 4th: Flash Flood Warning upgraded to Flash Flood Emergency for south-central Kerr County, including Hunt. 4:35 AM, July 4th: Kerr County Sheriffâs Office reports flooding at low water crossings, 201 minutes (over 3 hours) after the 1:14 AM warning. 5:00 AM, July 4th: National Water Center warns of widespread considerable and catastrophic flooding. 5:34 AM, July 4th: Flash Flood Emergency issued for the Guadalupe River, signaling a âlarge and deadly flood wave.â
The National Weather Service provided over 12 hours of advance notice via the Flood Watch and over 3 hours of lead time for Flash Flood Warnings, with escalated alerts as the storm intensified.

This Is What a Civil War Will Look Like
According to Fox News:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other federal law enforcement officers conducting immigration enforcement have been targeted in at least two ambushes in Texas in recent days.Â
The Justice Department on Monday named 10 individuals charged with shooting a police officer in the neck and opening fire on other correctional officers outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on the Fourth of July. The group, donning all black, allegedly first began shooting fireworks at the facility, which is being used by the Department of Homeland Security to hold people related to immigration violations or awaiting deportation. Â
The defendants are Cameron Arnold, also known as Autumn Hill; Savannah Batten; Nathan Baumann; Zachary Evetts; Joy Gibson; Bradford Morris, also known as Meagan Morris; Maricela Rueda; Seth Sikes; Elizabeth Soto; and Ines Soto. The complaint charges each of them with three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm during, in relation to and in furtherance of a violent crime.Â
Approximately 10 minutes after convening at the ICE facility, one or two individuals broke off from the main group and began to spray graffiti on vehicles and a guard structure in the parking lot, authorities said. Photos included in the criminal complaint, filed in the Northern District of Texas, show vehicles tagged with the messages “ICE pig” and “F— you pigs.” Correction officers dialed 911 and an Alvarado police officer responded to the scene.Â
Immediately after the officer got out of his vehicle, one defendant positioned in nearby woods allegedly shot the officer in the neck, according to the complaint. Another assailant, wearing a green mask and standing across the street, then allegedly fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed correctional officers who had stepped outside the facility.
“The shooting was captured by both CCTV and the APD officer’s body-worn camera,” the complaint says.
The FBI recovered AR-style rifles from the scene. The group fled from the detention center separately â some on foot, some in vehicles â and were later stopped by other law enforcement officers. The complaint notes that the defendants were “dressed in black, military-style clothing,” some were wearing body armor, some were armed, and some had two-way radios.
Prosecutors said a total of twelve sets of body armor were found during searches of vehicles associated with the defendants, on their persons, and in the area around the Prairieland Detention Center. Law enforcement also found spray paint, magazines containing ammunition and flyers stating, “FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR!” and “FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS.” A flag was found that read, “RESIST FASCISM â FIGHT OLIGARCHY.”Â
"The African American Community has become a culture of violence embracing gunplay and criminality."

Rapper Flavor Flav calls for a complete & total ban of U.S. citizens owning firearms

Alligator Alcatraz is almost up and running and will hold some of the most dangerous illegal aliens in the country until they get deported. I have a story about one.
Alligator Alcatraz is not only going to break illegal aliens hopes of a pleasant life in the United States, it has broken a bunch of low-IQ individuals on the Left.
And Republicans sure know how to lose a sure bet.
Grasping Defeat from the Jaws of Victory
According to the Daily Wire:
Speaker Mike Johnson has President Donald Trumpâs signature bill at the finish line.
During a marathon overnight session that at times appeared doomed, Republicans voted 219-213 at about 3:30 a.m. to send the bill to a final vote.
The late hour was not due to procedure, but rather indecision on the Republican side of the aisle. After five Republicans voted against the rule to proceed, coupled with a handful of Republicans who were holding out, Johnson had to scramble to not only find votes, but also get Republicans to switch theirs.
Just before midnight, Johnson said he would hold the vote open for as long as it needed, and started to whip votes, with a helping hand from Trump.
We are waiting for the final vote, but leave it to Democrats to stall. Hakeem Jeffries has decided to use his right to use the “magic minute” that allows him to filibuster about the bill.
The “magic minute” is a right that the leaders have a house to make a speech as long as he wants about the bill. Basically, it’s a filibuster.
Hakeem Jeffries walked into the chambers at about 5 AM with three large binders and he started. He has been talking ever since and is not expected to stop until some time this afternoon.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday shared a disturbing tale of an illegal immigrant, which she said underscored the importance of the Trump administrationâs deportation efforts.
âThe other day I was talking to some marshals who had been partnering with ICE,â Noem said. âThey said they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home and while they had him in his seat he started to eat himself, and they had to get him off and get him medical attention.â
âYou know, what bothered me the most is that this U.S. Marshal just said it like it was normal,â Noem said in an interview with FOX News. âHe said he was literally eating his own arms. That is what he did. He called himself a cannibal and ate other people and ate himself that day.â
âThese are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America that weâre trying to target,â Noem added.â Weâre trying to get them out of our country because they are so deranged they donât belong here.â
The secretary then slammed news outlets that âlie every single day about what these operations are.â
âWe are going after murderers and rapists and traffickers and drug dealers and getting them off the streets, and getting them out of this country because Joe Biden let the worst of the worst come in here.â
âThey shouldnât be walking the streets with our children. And they shouldnât be living in communities with our families who just want to raise their children to grow up and get a job and to live the American dream,â she added.
The press briefing comes after a visit to Floridaâs latest ICE detention facility, dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, alongside President Donald Trump.

On July 4th, the movie âSinnersâ will become the first show to be interpreted into âBlack American Sign Language (BASL),â per a press release from Warner Bros.
The entertainment company described it as âa major step forward in accessibility, representation, and visibility in streaming.â
âBASL is a distinct dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) with its own dynamic history and unique grammar, signing space, rhythm, facial expressions, and cultural nuances,â the release stated. âFor the first time, the Black Deaf community will have streaming access to a more immersive experience in their language. Max subscribers, who sign in ASL but are unfamiliar with this dialect, will also be able to follow along with this interpretation.â
The press release noted that the interpretation will be done by Nakia Smith, âan influential voice in the Black Deaf community, who delivers a powerful interpretation with cultural depth and linguistic richness that aligns with the filmâs themes and historical timeline.â
âAccessibility within streaming is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our goal at Max is to make these great stories accessible to all audiences in a way that is authentic to the content and the communities we serve,â Naomi Waibel, Senior VP of Global Product Management at Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement. âSinners with Black American Sign Language is an example of how culturally nuanced access can enrich the viewing experience for our audiences.â
According to the movieâs summary, âSinnersâ is about twin brothers who âreturn to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.â It was released in theaters in April 2025.
The sun monster strikes again. According to the Daily Wire:
In 2023, the Teamsters signed a massive deal with UPS to guarantee a fleet of air-conditioned trucks.
âOur members just ratified the most lucrative agreement the Teamsters have ever negotiated at UPS. This contract will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers,â Teamsters General President Sean M. OâBrien boasted at the time. âTeamsters have set a new standard and raised the bar for pay, benefits, and working conditions in the package delivery industry.â
He may have started celebrating too early.
As temperatures climbed last month, the Teamsters sent a furious letter to UPS demanding information on the whereabouts of the air-conditioned vehicles.
âHow does UPS expect to actually deliver 20,000 or more air-conditioned package cars and vans over the next two years, when the delivery giant is already so far behind?â OâBrien demanded. âThe summer heat beating down on our members is no joke. UPS is playing a dangerous game with the lives of thousands of essential American workers.â
UPS, meanwhile, seems to have different concerns.
For years, the company has been focused on replacing its fleet with so-called green vehicles. A few years ago, UPS pledged to make 40% of its vehicles use âalternative fuelâ by 2025. So far, UPS says it uses more than 1,000 electric or hybrid vehicles.
Drivers blasting their air conditioning in the sweltering Texas heat probably doesnât help the shipping giantâs goal of reaching âcarbon neutrality by 2050.â
Nearly no one enjoys getting stopped by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) authorities at the airport.
But when checkpoint alarm bells begin blaring around a travelerâs groin, as happened to one befuddled passenger not long ago, there is a chance itâs due to extreme wetness in their pants, insiders say.
âI flew for the first time in 15 years this week, and both airports flagged my crotch at the arms up scanner,â a confused tripper confessed on Reddit recently.
The wet wanderluster described herself as a âmidsized adult woman (5-foot-8, 169 lbs.)â wearing bike shorts and normal underwear. The skyway siren assured social media readers that her private parts are neither pierced nor outfitted with medical devices. She claimed her pockets were totally empty.
âI donât care about the pat down, they were polite and professional and it doesnât bother me,â said the baffled belle, âbut Iâm wondering what did it.â
Internet know-it-alls say itâs crotch sweat â and theyâre likely right.
âSweat, feminine products (liners, pads, depends) could be anything but those seem to be culprits,â a Reddit commenter wrote.
âLast time I flew out of my home airport of Tampa, I got searched too,â admitted an equally clammy jet-setter. âThe [security] guard said something unnerving like âswamp rotâ or âswamp crotchâ or something similarly embarrassing.â
Itâs a bodily function that can wrongfully trigger red flags, per TSA expert Shawna Malvini Redden.
âPerspiration is probably the weirdest thing that can set off the scanners,â Malvini Redden recently explained to Readerâs Digest. âIt has to do with millimeter wave technology and how the waves bounce off water.â
The insider added that because the machines often generate false alarms due to sweat, some countries, including France and Germany, have banned the scanners altogether.
But massive moisture isnât the only reason the TSA technology might mistake oneâs undercarriage for a dangerous weapon.
âOn-person screening technology effectively screens diverse populations of travelers every day,â TSA representatives previously told The Post, adding that their devices and screening algorithms are trained to recognize body composition.
Any unexpected abnormalities, including excess sweat, could potentially prompt an alert, they said.
Well, it looks like Donald Trump prevented World War III, and it only took 48 hours.
The media and Dems continue to beclown themselves.
And the WNBA makes themselves more irrelevant by the minute.
Unstable
A ceasefire between Israel and Iran was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on June 24, 2025, following nearly two weeks of intense military exchanges. The truce was brokered with the assistance of Qatari mediation and was initially accepted by both sides, though its implementation has been fragile and repeatedly tested by subsequent attacks267.
Key Details of the Ceasefire
Announcement and Mediation: President Trump declared a “complete and total ceasefire” after direct negotiations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and facilitated talks with Iranian officials via Qatari diplomats91011.
Conditions: Israel agreed to the ceasefire on the condition that Iran stop its attacks within Israeli territory. Iran, in turn, indicated it would halt its military operations if Israel ceased its airstrikes by a specific deadline911.
Initial Violations: Shortly after the ceasefire was announced, both sides accused each other of violating the agreement. Israel reported that Iran launched missiles and drones toward Israel, prompting the Israeli military to respond with targeted strikes on Iranian military infrastructure, including a radar installation north of Tehran147.
Public Statements: Israelâs Defense Minister ordered the military to “respond forcefully” to any violations, while Iranian state media denied launching any missiles that would breach the ceasefire4713.
Global Reaction: The ceasefire was met with cautious approval from world leaders, though many emphasized the volatility of the situation and the need for further diplomatic efforts to sustain the truce26.
Ongoing Tensions and Challenges
Fragility: The ceasefire remains precarious, with both sides maintaining a high level of military readiness and issuing warnings of further retaliation if the other side resumes hostilities2712.
Casualties: In the hours leading up to the ceasefire, there were reports of fatalities on both sides: nine killed in Israeli airstrikes in northern Iran and five killed in Iranian attacks in southern Israel610.
U.S. Role: The U.S. played a central role in both brokering the ceasefire and, earlier, in conducting airstrikes against Iranian nuclear sites, which escalated tensions and led to Iranian retaliation against U.S. military assets in Qatar5610.
Jasmine Crockett does not know the Constitution. She has proved that throughout her political career.

Finally, when did cussing become so acceptable and a way to debate? When has cussing been seen as intellectual?
Oh, By the Way…
According to CBS News:
In its latest crackdown against illegal immigration, federal agents arrested 11 Iranian foreign nationals in 48 hours, including one watchlisted individual â part of a series of targeted operations spanning eight states and nine cities nationwide.Â
Among those arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since Sunday, June 22, is Mehran Makari Saheli, at his home near St. Paul, Minnesota. ICE officials say Saheli is a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an elite branch of Iran’s armed forces. They said the detainee has “admitted connections to Hezbollah,” a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization backed by Iran.Â
ICE said that five of those arrested possessed previous criminal convictions ranging from grand larceny to drug and firearm possessions.Â
The Department of Homeland Security says Yousef Mehridehno had been living in America illegally for nearly 8 years when federal authorities determined he lied on a visa application. Roughly four months after the Iranian foreign national was added to the U.S. known or suspected terrorist list in February, he was apprehended by federal agents Sunday in central Mississippi, just outside of Jackson.Â
Officials have not linked these arrests to any specific terrorism plots and the Department of Homeland Security has stated that there are no current, credible threats to the U.S. homeland, despite a heightened security environment following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.
