President Donald Trump has truly flipped the script on the Democrat/media narrative that tariffs were going to hike inflation and kill the economy
Instead, inflation is under control and running lower than expectations, the stock market has hit record highs, and we have a surplus from the money coming in from tariffs.
We went from the economic mess that Joe Biden was to economic competence. Listen as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explains what they have been able to achieve in just a short six months. He said so far they've taken in nearly $100 billion, and he thinks they may take in $300 billion by the end of the year.
A Great Start for Trump on AI

On Wednesday, during his appearance at the “Winning the AI Race” summit in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump launched the White House’s AI Action Plan. Per the executive orders that were signed during the event, the president’s project contains three major planks. First, it establishes a set of procurement rules that prohibit the federal government from purchasing any AI product that, in Trump’s words, “has been infused with partisan bias or ideological agendas.” Second, it seeks to “expedite
A petition before the U.S. Supreme Court is asking the justices to consider overturning the 2015 decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in light of religious liberty concerns and a recent ruling reversing decades-old U.S. policy on abortion. The Christian conservative legal group Liberty Counsel announced Thursday it filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Kim Davis, the former county clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky. Davis, 59, has faced nearly a decade of litigation over her refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses following the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision that overturned state bans on same-sex marriage.
A federal judge refused Friday to invalidate the state, city and county laws designed to protect undocumented immigrants in Chicago by prohibiting local law enforcement officials from helping federal agents, tossing a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump. U.S. District Court Judge Lindsey Jenkins’ decision to grant Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice without holding a full trial is a major win for officials seeking to prevent federal officials from slashing billions of dollars in federal aid to Chicago and Illinois.
There’s a rare kind of elegance that doesn’t come from handlers, stylists, or algorithms. It comes from knowing who you are before the world decides who you should be.

Melania Trump didn’t arrive in Washington looking to be molded. She arrived whole. A woman who had already survived a communist upbringing, brutal fashion circuits, and tabloid cruelty, which meant she didn’t need America’s approval.
And that’s precisely why they couldn’t look away.
While others in the political orbit begged for the spotlight, Melania Trump did something that felt borderline rebellious: She stood still. She didn’t chase applause. She didn’t retweet compliments. She didn’t apologize for being herself.
Senior intelligence officials strenuously fought the demands of former FBI Director James Comey and other Obama intelligence chiefs to include the false and unverified Steele dossier in an official assessment of Russian activities ordered by President Barack Obama in the closing weeks of his presidency, records reviewed exclusively by The Federalist show. The records, which are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Comey and other top intelligence officials for their roles in launching the Russia collusion hoax, provide damning evidence of Obama intelligence chiefs’ malfeasance beyond the explosive information released Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Using a declassified document released this week, it has never been easier to see how the propaganda press partners with politicians to hoodwink the public and shape the political landscape.
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released a 2020 Oversight Investigation and Referral report about a 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) titled, “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.”
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard appears with Greta Van Susteren to discuss the ongoing release of Intelligence Community documents showing how President Obama’s intelligence officials conspired to manufacture a false intelligence assessment, frame Donald Trump and begin the Trump-Russia narrative.
At the end of this trail of manufactured evidence, we will inevitably end up at the Robert Mueller investigation.
The continuum of the Trump-Russia narrative starts with Hillary Clinton (Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie), then transfers to the FBI (James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok), which includes the DOJ National Security Division (AG Lynch, DAG Yates, Mary McCord), then goes through the backdoor to
The New York Post is sharing statements from Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney following a second day of DOJ interviews with his client.
However, I would be very cautious with anything said by Ms. Maxwell or her attorney David Oscar Markus. Both are prone to sensationalism as a legal strategy.
(NYP) – Notorious sex criminal Ghislaine Maxwell answered questions from Justice Department officials about “100 different people” linked to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, an attorney for the disgraced socialite claimed Friday following two days of questioning led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Former New York Rep. George Santos reported to federal prison on Friday to begin his 87-month prison sentence after he plead guilty to felony fraud charges in August 2024 and was expelled from Congress in December 2023.[snip] In December 2023, the House voted 311-114 to expel Santos from the House, this represented the first expulsion from the House since former Rep. Jim Traficant (D-OH) was expelled after Traficant had been found guilty in court. Santos being expelled from Congress came after “a brutal report from the House Ethics Committee” found “evidence Santos knowingly filed false reports with the Federal Election Commission” and had used “campaign funds for personal purposes,”
You can almost hear the death rattle emanating from Media Matters for America (MMFA), the unofficial (wink-wink) media arm of the Democrat Party, which unironically calls itself the "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."
From the New York Times:
The organization, which is funded by some of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, has racked up about $15 million in legal fees over the past 20 months to defend itself against lawsuits by Elon Musk, in addition to investigations by Mr. Trump’s Federal Trade Commission and Republican state attorneys general.
He’s crawling into the record books.
An Iowa infant who was born at just 21 weeks of gestation celebrated his first birthday earlier this month with a new title – “the most premature baby” of all time.
Nash Keen weighed only 10 ounces when he was born on July 5, 2024 – 133 days before his due date, early enough to land him in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The tot, affectionately called “Nash Potato,” spent six months in the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital, growing into a happy and strong baby boy.

An Arizona woman is headed to prison for nearly a decade after perpetuating a fraudulent foreign worker scam that benefited the North Korean government.
Christina Marie Chapman, 50, was sentenced to 102 months in a federal lockup for an elaborate scheme that involved helping North Korean residents pose as US citizens and helping them get remote IT jobs at 309 American companies, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The identities of 68 Americans were stolen in the process.
Chapman’s scam generated more than $17 million for herself and the government of North Korea and was perpetuated from 2020 to 2023.
The Trump administration has located and rescued more than 13,000 migrant children who crossed the border without parents — after more than 320,000 kids were lost under the Biden administration, The Post has learned.
The tough-on-immigration admin has also collared hundreds of migrant sponsors who are accused of committing disturbing crimes or abusing the children in their care.
In one frightening case, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Newark arrested a sponsor who was found to be a Guatemalan fugitive wanted for two counts of attempted aggravated homicide in his home country.
Adelso Garcia Martinez, 29, was busted on May 13.
West Virginians mined the coal that forged the steel that built New York City.
The Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, even the subway — none of these iconic landmarks would exist without the blood and sweat of West Virginia coal miners.
West Virginia still powers the nation, supplementing its coal production with oil and natural gas.
But New York elites want to punish West Virginians for doing the very jobs that provide them so much comfort in their ivory towers.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is once again under attack as a renewed effort to force the Pentagon chief out is underway, with the media doing its part to revive the Signalgate scandal that was initially deployed earlier this year but failed to catch fire.
On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported that the information that Hegseth sent in a March group conversation on the Signal encrypted messaging platform, in which plans to bomb terrorist Houthis in Yemen were discussed, came from an email labeled as “SECRET/NOFORN,” according to the Pentagon’s inspector general.
Twenty-two GOP-led states have filed an amicus brief in support of a New Jersey father who sued his daughter’s school for “transitioning” her without telling him.
The father, Christian Heaps, sued Delaware Valley Regional High School last year after his daughter told her school counselor that she preferred to be referred to by a male name and with male pronouns.
The counselor, identified as Ashley Miranda, “immediately affirmed” his daughter’s new identity “and began to facilitate [her] social transition,” according to the lawsuit.
Furthermore, Miranda allegedly schemed to hide his daughter’s new identity from him by only referring to her by her new pronouns and name only when he wasn’t around.
A Chuck E. Cheese mascot in Florida was featured in a perp walk this week, after being handcuffed while still in costume.
Jermell Jones, the man in the mouse suit, was arrested by the Tallahassee Police Department on three felony charges related to stolen credit cards.
Police spokesperson Alicia Hill told the Tallahassee Democrat that police were called on July 3rd after a Chuck E. Cheese customer reported a stolen credit card. The victim told officers she noticed around $100 in fraudulent charges after a pizza party in June, and she was able to trace the activity to an employee at the restaurant.
“Man, Chuck’s finally hit rock bottom, it seems,”
A bipartisan poll shows a dramatic shift in public opinion on the state of the U.S. economy, with a net 23-point swing toward optimism since April, an uptick that parallels renewed economic momentum under President Donald Trump’s policies, according to officials and market data.
The Wall Street Journal survey, conducted by Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio and Democrat partner firm Impact Research, found that 47 percent of Americans now rate the economy as “excellent” or “good,” up from just 36 percent in April. Meanwhile, those saying the economy is “not so good” or “poor” dropped from 63 percent to 51 percent.

An illegal alien is accused of murdering a 15-year-old boy in Morehead, Kentucky, after the teen tried to protect his mother from being raped, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveals.
Gildardo Amandor-Martinez, a 36-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, has been arrested by the Morehead Police Department and charged with murdering 15-year-old Luis Lopez, assaulting the boy’s 3-year-old sister, Naomi Agrical Nunez, and attempting to rape the boy’s mother, Aleida Lopez.
According to police, Amandor-Martinez — who had been in a relationship with Aleida Lopez — arrived at the family’s apartment and sought to have sex with the woman. When she refused, he attempted to rape her, according to police,
It's striking how similar NPR's situation is to that of Planned Parenthood. Both organizations have an affiliate model and both just had a lot of federal money cut from their budgets. That means both are now hoping to find new sources of funding to keep the doors open. The NY Times reports there has been an increase in donations to PBS and NPR but so far the amount isn't nearly enough to offset the cuts.
Over the last three months, as the prospect of the cuts intensified, roughly 120,000 new donors have contributed an estimated $20 million in annual value,
The owners and operators of Foley, Alabama’s Colt Grill BBQ & Spirits have been hit with charges of systematically hiring illegal migrants as workers.
Federal officials raided the chain’s Foley location on July 15 as part of a larger sweep across six counties in the Yellowhammer State, the Press-Register reported at AL.com.
Headquartered in Arizona, Colt Grill’s other four locations in Arizona — Sedona, Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Cottonwood — were also raided at the same time.
The owners, Brenda and Robert Clouston, were charged with five immigration and employment offenses and prosecutors said they had a pattern of knowingly hiring undocumented workers for their restaurants.
Should we be surprised that alleged Joe Biden Regency 'politburo' member Ron Klain decided to cooperate with the House Oversight Committee? Fellow senior advisers such as Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal took the Fifth when asked to testify about Biden's cognitive incapacity while President and who really ran the White House. Even Biden's doctor, Kevin O'Connor, took Five rather than rely on HIPAA.
Biden's former chief of staff, however, decided to cooperate, getting praise for his willingness to testify from committee members of both parties. And while Klain doesn't flat-out declare Biden incompetent during his tenure as president, Klain told the committee that his decline
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Will Cain Show,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons stated that detainers are being put on anyone who is in the country illegally who commits any additional crime and “any crime now is fully on the table. And that’s what this administration is focused on, we’re focused on getting these criminal illegal aliens before they can escalate their crime spree. Shoplifting might be one thing, but it leads to more and more crime, and we just can’t do that.”
