Christian father of 11 Paul Vaughn has reached a seven-figure settlement with the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) after being targeted by the Biden DOJ for his pro-life beliefs, his attorneys announced. (snip) In Vaughn’s case, the FBI conducted a predawn raid on his family’s home at gunpoint and arrested him in front of his wife and children, according to his attorneys. (snip) Paul Vaughn was placed in handcuffs by armed FBI agents in front of his children just before school drop-off. Watch as his wife pleads for answers mid-arrest:
A Wisconsin brewery known for anti-Trump social media posts, including one promising a free beer promotion upon the death of President Donald Trump, has had its permit to operate in the state revoked by state officials.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday that liberal activist and brewery owner Kirk Bangstad is "vowing to fight ‘tooth and nail’ after receiving a letter from the state's Department of Revenue revoking Minocqua Brewing Co.'s permit to operate in Wisconsin, according to a July 26 newsletter sent to his supporters."
Iran attempted a “surprise attack” against US forces in the Middle East on Tuesday, firing several ballistic missiles that were all intercepted, US Central Command said.
“At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East,” CENTCOM wrote on X. “All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” the command added.
The flareup came one day after mediators said that cease-fire talks between the US and Iran made “significant” progress. President Trump, last Friday, had halted
Dear Diary…

Many have wondered how Anthony Fauci could have been so foolish as to keep a personal diary, fail to destroy it, and then produce it to a Senate committee. It looks like the answer is…he didn’t: Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine
How the Fauci diaries were discovered. It was thanks to the doggedness of @SecKennedy who wrote an excellent book in 2021 "The Real Anthony Fauci" which stands the test of time.
"It took us about 8 months to dig these out of 11 separate servers where they had been sequestered and secreted."
There needs to be more of this drive for accountability across the administration.
Steve Goncalves, the father of Kaylee, one of the four University of Idaho students allegedly murdered by Bryan Kohberger, is speaking out on the shocking development in the murder case.The accused killer had initially taken a plea deal that ensured he evaded the death penalty, but required he admit to the murders of the four students. This led him to receive four life sentences, which he is now trying to undo by declaring his innocence and demanding a trial.
Reacting to the move by Bryan Kohberger, Steve Goncalves shared that he would love to have a “second shot” at the accused killer, especially if it means he gets the death penalty.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has issued subpoenas to three tax-exempt organizations tied to socialist megadonor Neville Roy Singham, an American multimillionaire living in Shanghai with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
The subpoenas have been served, a spokesperson for Smith’s office told Just the News, on BreakThrough News, Tricontinental and The People’s Forum, all three of which are funded, at least in part, by Singham. The subpoenas come after nearly a year of the Committee’s attempts to get answers from the three non-profit organizations regarding foreign influence in U.S. nonprofits.V

The family of one of the victims of Bryan Kohberger has hit out after it emerged that he was challenging his conviction for four murders of students in the US state of Idaho.
Kohberger was sentenced last year to four consecutive terms of life in prison after pleading guilty to charges of murder in the November 2022 killings.
In recent days, Kohberger told the New York Times he was taking back his plea, which was made to avoid the death penalty. He said it had rested on
The Democratic Socialists of America are not hiding their plan to reshape America. On Sunday, their co-chair joined Fox News and openly confirmed that their long-term goals ahead of the midterm elections include abolishing parts of the U.S. government.
Megan Romer appeared on Shannon Bream’s “Fox News Sunday,” saying the organization’s goals include abolishing the presidency, U.S. Senate, and Supreme Court, as well as prisons, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the nation’s borders. The Democratic Socialists of America also envision defunding the Pentagon and granting amnesty for illegal aliens.
The Working Families Tax Cuts (WFTC) has done tremendous good for the American people. At the beginning of the month, Republicans hailed the one-year anniversary of those tax cuts and found that refunds were up 11 percent, with the average refund exceeding $3,400. The No Tax on Tips and No Tax on Overtime provisions, as well as No Tax on Social Security, meant more money in American pockets.
Democrats, of course, unanimously opposed the WFTC and the One Big Beautiful Bill. But once they realized how beneficial and popular the WFTC actually were, they started to try and take credit for them. They're still doing it, too.
RFK Catches Something in the Fauci Diaries

That Should Make Your Blood Boil: ‘He
Never Told Anybody’ replies
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle" Monday, claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci received the COVID vaccine in a very public ceremony, then roughly five months later, suffered a "pulmonary infarction."
According to RFK, Fauci never told anyone about it. It's one of many alleged lies laid out by the prominent Kennedy family member.
"He lied about masks. He lied about the social distancing. He lied about the transmission, and he lied about natural immunity," he told Fox News personality Laura Ingraham. "He lied about the capacity, as you just said, of the vaccine to prevent infection."
A Fox News poll finds that a majority of Democrats say they have a favorable view of the Democratic Socialists of America. But our I&I/TIPP Poll found that Democrats reject – sometimes overwhelmingly – key DSA policy proposals.
What explains the gap?
The Fox Poll also found that 52% of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism, compared with 11% of Republicans and 17% of independents. Support for the Democratic Socialists of America is even stronger, with 59% of Democrats expressing a favorable view, compared with 6% of Republicans.

Evan Barker believed she was a lifelong Democrat. Born into a Kansas City union family, she campaigned for Barack Obama while still in high school and was a community organizer for Hillary Clinton in 2015. Working for the consultancy Left Rising, she writes, “I built my name as a ruthless fundraiser … I was a live player who helped progressive insurgents” — including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush and Jasmine Crockett — “infiltrate from within.” But her new book, “Nothing Left” (Threshold Editions), out today, gives a look at how Barker lost faith in her party — and, in 2024, voted for Donald Trump.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are expected to meet with President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
At Trump's invitation, Netanyahu flew to Washington on Monday for Sen. Lindsey Graham's funeral service, according to his office. Zelensky also plans to attend the service, CNBC reported.
During their visits, both leaders will meet with Trump, giving them an opportunity to discuss their agendas regarding conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
Zelensky's visit comes as the U.S. and Ukrainian officials have been contemplating a new peace proposal to end the war in Ukraine, which is now in its fourth year. For Netanyahu,

The latest revelations from Sen. Rand Paul’s investigation into the origin of Covid expose what may be one of the most consequential scientific deceptions in history.
The 1,123 pages of private Slack messages exchanged among the authors of the highly influential “Proximal Origin” paper reveal that the scientists who publicly declared that a laboratory origin of Covid was not plausible privately held a very different view. They repeatedly acknowledged that a laboratory origin remained possible, discussed flaws in their own arguments, and struggled to defend the natural origin theory.
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” former Trump Deputy National Security Adviser KT McFarland said that “The best solution” in Iran is “sort of a slow-rolling regime change, slow-rolling coup, where the IRGC loses control” and others like the parliament gain control due to Iran’s economy struggling. She also stated that, after the mutual number one interest of eliminating Iran’s nuclear program, the interests of the U.S. and Israel “kind of diverge. Because [Prime Minister] Netanyahu has said, well, they want regime change. President Trump has said, no, not necessarily.”
This just in: China is not a friend of the United States. They may be a trading partner, but they are not our friends. Now, as further proof of that, we can point to evidence that the Chinese Communist Party may have been paying for complimentary news coverage from quite a laundry list of American legacy media figures. Natalie Winters is a Washington correspondent for the Bannon War Room. On Monday, with now less than 100 days until the midterm elections, Natalie Winters has broken quite the story: It seems American legacy media members have been taking trips, funded by the Chinese Communist Party, to China -

Former President Joe Biden revealed classified information to his ghostwriter in 2016 and 2017 as the pair worked on his memoir following his tenure as vice president, newly released audio recordings and interview transcripts confirmed Monday. (snip)
The Project also highlighted that the pauses the former president took in the interview and the confusion demonstrated in the transcripts showed that Biden's mental decline was already taking place in 2017, before he became president.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., released a trove of Anthony Fauci’s diary entries Saturday, the latest in a series of document dumps further exposing the corruption of many of the scientists and government officials behind the tyrannical response to Covid. Among other revelations, Fauci’s entries from December 2019 to December 2022 reveal a man fixated on legacy media appearances, the perks of fame, and the growing Fauci “cult” even as the pandemic escalated.
The size of Fauci’s ego is no surprise to anyone who lived through Covid with his eyes open. He was notorious for doing home interviews with a portrait of himself in the background. He once claimed,

Just a few weeks before the first day of class, Howard University retracted the admission of 502 incoming freshmen, whom it says failed to pay tuition on time. Now, New York is opening up its public university system to affected students and offering $800 credits to offset non-refundable deposit costs.
The would-be incoming Howard students were notified July 22 by the school of their dis-enrollment, and many took to social media afterward to lament the situation.
Several attributed their delayed tuition payments to waiting for private scholarships and other financial aid promises from Howard, a private school and one the country's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Nuclear Deal replies
The [US-Saudi civilian nuclear] agreement threatens to weaken decades of US non-proliferation policy, ignite a regional arms race, embolden America's adversaries, and create security risks that future generations may be powerless to reverse.
The most controversial aspect of the proposed agreement is that it reportedly allows Saudi Arabia to develop domestic uranium enrichment capabilities under safeguards that fall short of the stringent standards previously demanded by Washington. While low-enriched uranium is used to fuel civilian nuclear reactors, the same technology can eventually produce highly enriched uranium suitable for nuclear weapons.
Several prominent Senate Republicans have joined President Donald Trump in pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the Senate’s August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, the voter-integrity legislation championed by the president.
The legislation aims to prevent noncitizens from voting.
As of Monday morning, Sens. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rick Scott, R-Fla., Mike Lee, R-Utah, Jim Banks, R-Ind., John Kennedy, R-La., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., have come out in favor of passing the legislation before recess.
Banks stated that after New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced that more than 6,600 noncitizens had been accidentally registered to vote, there has been a new push among Republicans to enact the legislation.
Some sectors of Louisiana’s economy faced challenges because of the Trump administration’s tariff policy, but House Speaker Mike Johnson said he believes the overall impact has been positive because it corrected what he described as trade disparities.
The administration turned to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 for authority to impose new tariffs, according to a White House memorandum. The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled earlier this year that the president could not impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
This month, the administration announced tariffs on imports from 60 economies, the memorandum said.
Sami Winc: Let’s turn to California, and California seems to be a petri dish of all those ideas that the Democrats have going. I’ll read a few of the things that are happening this week in California, and you can provide us with commentary.
The first thing that I think is very interesting is that the federal Congress, the House, has passed a bill for the defense budget of $1.15 trillion. In it, Donald Trump has the ability to seize property in California for an oil pipeline. The property they’re looking at is down near Santa Barbara.
The American auto industry is protected and thriving—and that’s thanks to Republicans in Congress doing their job, President Donald Trump said in a rally on July 27.
Trump spoke at the General Motors facility in Milford, Michigan on Monday ahead of the Senate primary debate to come later that evening.
The president emphasized that America is doing well, attributing much of the credit to Republicans in Congress, and inviting several Republican candidates on stage.
“And thanks to our Republican majorities in Congress, we actually made interest on auto loans fully tax deductible—but only if the car is made in America,” Trump said.
