What Are We Going to Do About All This Mental Illness?
https://gellerreport.com/2025/07/what-are-we-going-to-do-about-all-this-mental-illness.html/
Back in May 2022, a Muslim identified only as Mohammed L. murdered Alban Gervaise, a 40-year-old physician, by stabbing him multiple times… Gervaise, Mohammed repeatedly screamed “Allahu akbar,” and later explained that he committed the murder “in the name of Allah.”…April Fools Day 2023, a Muslim migrant to Canada named Abdul Aziz Kawam spent two minutes praying at a bus stop in Surrey, British Columbia. Then he slit the throat of another person who was waiting for the bus. When the bus arrived, Kawam got on board and asked a fellow passenger if he was a Muslim. Kawam then slit the throat of a passenger…he performed both of his throat-slashings in accord with the Qur’anic command: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike necks.”…Mohammed Abdullah Warsame, who, according to a June 2025 CTV News report, has been “convicted of terrorism offences in the United States, and who had ties to al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.”…He “was sent to hospital for psychological support between the date of the alleged offence and his arrest,” because anyone who did such things must be mentally ill, right? What else could he possibly be?…I could multiply incidents of this kind indefinitely. European authorities refuse to admit that there even exists such a thing as the global jihad, and so they have to classify jihadis as something else. They’ve settled on calling it mental illness for now, but as psychiatric hospitals are increasingly filled with jihad terrorists, this will become untenable. As jihad activity becomes ever more frequent across Europe, European authorities may one day even admit what it actually is. But that will probably only happen when they’re surrendering and officially submitting to their new Islamic overlords.

The Worst Governor in America Gavin Newsom to Test Presidential Waters in Rural South Carolina

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is wasting no time in testing the waters for a presidential run in 2028, planning a visit next week to rural South Carolina, hoping to find a warm reception among poor, black voters…Newsom will focus on meeting Tuesday and Wednesday with rural voters in eight of the “the most economically challenged and environmentally vulnerable” counties…Newsom’s theme will be a shared experience of natural disasters — though he has proven inept at managing them in his own state, whether leaving the country during blizzards or failing to provide water during fires.

Mexico City Protest Against American Ex-Pat ‘Invasion’ Turns Violent
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-mexico-city-protest-against-american-ex-pat-invasion-turns-violent
In a role reversal that underscores a universal resentment of economic and social impacts caused by a major influx of foreigners, demonstrators marched in Mexico City on Friday to protest against the city’s status as a hot new residential destination for American ex-pats and remote workers. Though it started peacefully, many demonstrators turned violent, with some of them accosting Americans and smashing the restaurants, banks and other businesses that cater to them…Some of the demonstrators started attacking businesses in Condesa and Roma, smashing windows, spray-painting graffiti, tearing down awnings, vandalizing cars, completely destroying a restaurant patio, and looting. A Starbucks outlet was among the most-damaged properties:

https://miguelgg.substack.com/p/it-is-not-racism-when-they-do-it
So a section of the Mexican population seems to be disgusted with the idea that gringos are settling in their land and “gentrifying” real state out of their incomes because it is apparently cheaper for John Smith to live South of the Border than in L.A…What is hilarious is that they are marching in what is one of the oldest richest neighborhoods in the city and unaffordable to them even before the evil invader gringos decided to buy/rent property there. The area was not being gentrified because it was already out of their economic level populated by the local Richie Riches which makes this just 100% bullcrap worry about the downtrodden middle class…Simply put, it is just another episode of “We can’t fix our own shit so we blame the gringos as excuse” political soap opera.

People got a big reminder over the weekend that leftist violent protests aren’t just something that happens in this country when things got out of hand in Mexico City on Friday…there was a protest where hundreds came out against “gentrification” in the tourist areas, upset that foreigners, including many Americans, have moved into the area. Some of the signs were ironically fascinating… the masked kids in black went all smashy-smashy. They even broke the windows out of at least one store and looted it…Homeland Security @DHSgov – https://x.com/DHSgov/status/1941979433612484884 – “If you are in the United States illegally and wish to join the next protest in Mexico City, use the CBP Home app to facilitate your departure”…The final irony: Leftists are upset with Americans who have entered Mexico legally because of how that’s affected the country, yet leftists in this country are supportive and protesting on behalf of the people who have entered the U.S. illegally.

What Liberal Voters Are Demanding Democrats Do to Stop ICE Is Insane: ‘Not Just Unreal, but Dangerous’
https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2025/07/07/what-liberal-voters-are-demanding-democrats-do-to-stop-ice-is-insane-not-just-unreal-but-dangerous-n2191321
Axios on Monday published an astonishing report citing numerous Democrat members of Congress who say their voters want to see representatives literally willing to take a bullet to “protect our democracy.” Several lawmakers chose to keep their identities shielded to offer candid assessments about what they’re seeing from their base at various town halls and speaking events. It’s more than likely they did so because some of that base is clearly unhinged. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot,” when visiting ICE facilities, one House Democrat told Axios…”Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public.” Another unnamed resistance lawmaker tells the outlet that his constituents have insisted “civility isn’t working” and Democrats need to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”

Democrat Politicians Claim Their Base Wants Blood
https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/07/07/democrat-politicians-claim-their-base-wants-blood-n1229169
The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” the lawmaker said.
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
A fifth House Democrat told Axios that “people online have sent me crazy s*** … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” though they added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”
There sure are, but it’s also undeniable that a large portion of the Left has become utterly unhinged since Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden in the 2024 elections, and they’ve only gotten worse since Trump was sworn in and has actively begun reshaping the federal government.
Many lawmakers said these voters tend to be white, well-educated and live in upscale suburban or urban neighborhoods.
“What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people,” said an eighth House Democrat.
“Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles … [we are] a group that is disproportionately people of color, women, LGBTQ people — people who do not fare very well in prison.”
The bottom line: “The expectations aren’t just unreal. They’re dangerous,” the eighth House Democrat said.

Democratic Lawmakers Disturbed as Their Own Voters Demand Violence: ‘There Needs to Be Blood’

“What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people.”…For nearly a decade, Democrats have pushed nonstop doomsday rhetoric about President Donald Trump and the conservative movement. They’ve compared him to Hitler. They’ve called him a dictator. They’ve claimed without evidence that the country is experiencing a death rattle…These people incited not one, but two assassination attempts against Trump last summer — that we know of…These people incited not one, but two assassination attempts against Trump last summer — that we know of… This is what happens when partisan media and elected officials normalize panic and desensitize imbalanced people to violence. It’s liberal voters, egged on by years of apocalyptic headlines, outright lies, and wild accusations. The left is reaping what it sowed, and its elected officials are afraid of the monster they’ve created.

Joy Reid and James Carville Are Predicting Trump Will Never Leave Office and He’s Rigging the Midterms

Democrat consultant James Carville and kooky Joy Reid (late of MSNBC) have latched onto the hilarious conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump is going to illegally meddle in upcoming elections. Per the demented Dem duo, Trump is going to refuse to leave office after his term and find a way to postpone the midterm elections.

Dems unveil latest hoax in desperate quest to take out Trump

This week, the company settled the suit brought by Trump over the alleged doctoring of a “60 Minutes” interview with Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris that aired weeks before last year’s election, deceptively editing one of the then-vice president’s loopy “word salad” answers about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make her look good…The settlement, which clears the decks ahead of the company and its CBS News subsidiary’s proposed $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, sparked calls for bribery investigations from top Democrats, a desperate attempt to spin a rational business decision into a nefarious conspiracy centered around Trump, but taking it to another level by threatening Paramount.

One Big Beautiful Bill’s Passage Prompts ‘Big Beautiful Lawsuit’ Over NFA

GOA’s “One Big Beautiful Lawsuit” will ask the courts to strike down the NFA’s absurd new $0 tax and registration scheme for certain suppressors and firearms with short barrels. In the 1930’s, the Supreme Court only narrowly upheld the NFA solely as a tax statute—not as a firearms regulatory law. In Sonzinsky v. United States (1937), the Court ruled the NFA was permissible under Congress’s taxing power. But once the tax is reduced to $0, the constitutional justification for the law collapses…“The Supreme Court has made clear that the NFA survives only as a tax law. Once the President signs this bill and the tax disappears, the registry becomes an unconstitutional relic…

“We’ve Become Serfs On Our Own Land”: The USDA Trap, Foreign Land Sales, And The Collapse Of American Farming
https://www.zerohedge.com/food/weve-become-serfs-our-own-land-usda-trap-foreign-land-sales-and-collapse-american-farming
77 family farms vanish every day in the U.S. But what’s really killing them?”…I can’t even legally sell what I grow on my farm to any of my friends, family, or neighbors,” Sagdal says. Why? Because of USDA slaughter rules. With few exceptions, unless meat is processed at a USDA-inspected facility, and labeled with a USDA stamp, it’s illegal to sell. An issue compounded by the fact that just four companies have monopolized the few meatpacking plants that still exist. USDA inspectors have helped shut down local and regional slaughterhouses for decades, while court documents and video footage show an inspector giving a free pass to a Tyson-owned pork facility—fueling criticisms of USDA selectionism. Between 1990 and 2016, federally inspected plants fell 36% and non-federally inspected facilities dropped 42%. As a consequence, many small farms lack access to USDA‑inspected custom or state processing facilities—locking them out of grocery chains and school lunch contracts, even when their meat is superior.

Zohran Mamdani has admitted listing his race as “black” on a college admission form. He is not black—he is ethnically South Asian because, by his own admission, his ancestors all came from India. It is impossible to know what went through his head when Mamdani lied on his Columbia University admission form, but the most obvious reason for doing so would have been to give himself an advantage over other applicants. If that was the case, it was not just lying; it was cheating.

The first six months of the Trump administration have not been kind to the experts and the degree-holding classes…This falls right in line with the loss of trust in the mainstream media and most of the politicians. Personally, I think a LOT of this relates directly back to the whole WuFlu debacle. From the ‘experts’ who had no real idea of what to do, to those who suppressed data, to the power hungry who closed schools, businesses, etc., on the ‘whims’ of the elites, ad infinitum. For many of us ‘peons’ it seemed that common sense solutions were immediately tossed to the winds, and we saw many instances of ‘not invented here’ syndrome. All of this caused many of us to do the cocked head look and go away mumbling to ourselves.n And I don’t think it’s getting any better…

in praise of childhood consequence – and the end of “child as customer”
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/in-praise-of-childhood-consequence
yesterday, i was eating breakfast in a restaurant. the table next to me had a (i’m guessing) 3-year-old boy who started to have a melt down. i was bracing for a long, miserable dining experience as “my kid is expressing his inner air raid siren, you all need to deal with it!” certainly seems to have become the core parenting praxis of late. instead, the father simply stood up, collected his son, then took him outside. this alone was lovely and comment-worthy (a sad statement about the current state of affairs), but the rest just kept getting better. the dad came back. alone. mom (who was with the other boy child) said, “where’s billy?” (i’m making up this name) dad: “in the car.” mom: oh, ok. other son (perhaps 5) nodded sagely as if he too had once learned this lesson…any gen X remembers this. you act up in a restaurant? no one is negotiating with terrorists. car. right now. no questions. no reprieve. get it together or go sit by yourself until you can…it still works. turns out nothing has changed except parental will to be parents instead of “appeasing buddies” and society’s will to let them.

He tried looking tough with a baseball bat, but ended up looking like a benchwarmer on a Little League team.

The fight against SYG continues for at least 5 more years till they figure it out that Floridians liked the law, and a case in Miami made it to the State Supreme Court and it was confirmed as firm law of the land.

Another Wildfire Has Hit California and Newsom’s Plan Is to Attack Trump
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2025/07/05/another-wildfire-has-hit-california-and-newsom-is-still-blaming-trump-n2659941
Earlier this year, wildfires hit Los Angeles. It was a tragic story of blue state incompetence…. Another wildfire has hit, the Madre Fire, which has hit the central part of California….Newsom is making it his mission to go after Trump…”Trump needs to WAKE UP and start funding federal firefighters and land-management teams in these rural communities – instead of giving tax cuts to billionaires,”…”Trump’s incompetence is endangering lives,”…Newsom has been consistently posting his hysterical outrage about the OBBB from both his official and political X accounts, but this takes it to a new level. There’s been 10,000 replies and he may also be hit with context from Community Notes, since wildfire management is a matter of how the state responds. Newsom cut $100 million in fire prevention from the 2024-2025 state budget.

That’s exactly what this is, much like the fake concern visits to both facilities and immigration courts in states like New Jersey, New York, and California…Imagine if they cared this much about homeless veterans or hurricane victims

Mike Morell wrote: “Trying to give the campaign, particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this issue.” John Brennan : “Ok Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative.

Boxer Chávez Jr. Expected To Be Deported To Mexico To Serve Sentence, Mexican President Says
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/boxer-chavez-jr-expected-be-deported-mexico-serve-sentence-mexican-president-says
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on July 4 that she expects boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. to be deported to Mexico to serve a prison sentence after his arrest in Los Angeles by U.S. immigration authorities…“The hope is that he will be deported and serve the sentence in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during a news briefing Friday, referring to charges the boxer faces in Mexico related to arms and drug trafficking. She added that Mexico had not previously arrested Chávez because he had been living primarily in the United States…Chavez has an active arrest warrant issued in 2023 for alleged involvement with the Sinaloa cartel and trafficking of firearms, ammunition, and explosives. U.S. immigration officials say he has links to organized crime and called him an “egregious public safety threat,” but a Biden-era entry in a DHS law enforcement system indicated he was not an immigration enforcement priority…“It is shocking the previous administration flagged this criminal illegal alien as a public safety threat, but chose to not prioritize his removal and let him leave and COME BACK into our country,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “Under President Trump, no one is above the law—including world-famous athletes. Our message to any cartel affiliates in the U.S. is clear: We will find you and you will face consequences. The days of unchecked cartel violence are over.”…

Camp Mystic Flood Rescue Ongoing via “The Texas Flyover” newsletter
Rescuers are still searching central Texas for 27 girls missing from Camp Mystic after flash flooding tore through Kerr County on July 4, killing at least 32 people—18 adults and 14 children. Three young campers have been confirmed dead, and families are gathering at reunification centers in Ingram and Kerrville for news of their loved ones. The Guadalupe River surged more than 26 feet in under an hour, devastating the riverside town of Hunt and wiping out much of the camp. As of Friday night, at least 237 people had been rescued—167 by helicopter. More than 6.5 inches of rain fell in three hours, a rare, century-level storm that triggered flash flood emergencies across the Hill Country. To relieve pressure on the river system, floodgates at two upstream dams were opened. Gov. Greg Abbott declared a disaster across 15 counties and deployed more than 1,000 state responders. “We will stop at nothing to ensure…that everybody involved in this is going to be fully accounted for,”.

As for any prior staff cuts (NOAA was in the process of cutting 10 percent of its staff), there is likewise no evidence that those hampered the forecasting of this event. Yet, even a California state senator is repeating the lie because he believes it helps him politically. The NWS could have a trillion-dollar budget, and it would have put out the same forecast. To the extent that the amount of rain was not predicted, it is not possible to know exactly how much will fall when a system stalls out over a specific area, which is what happened here. The same thing occurred when Hurricane Harvey sat on top of Houston for several days in 2017

Democrats can say the wildest and craziest things and know that all those badly named “mainstream” media outlets and fact-checkers won’t care in the slightest…They are very upset after that “Big Beautiful Bill” extending the Trump tax breaks for most Americans passed Congress…”Tim, extreme House Republicans just approved the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in American history to fund tax breaks for their billionaire donors. The latest GOP stunt will rip healthcare away from 17 MILLION Americans, jack up our utility bills and take food out of the mouths of children, seniors and veterans…Don’t bother noting that Republicans wanted to stop giving illegal immigrants government benefits and wanted to install work requirements for government programs. For example, only 28% of able-bodied adults on food stamps work… from “Speaker Emerita” Nancy Pelos “House Republicans just voted to CUT Medicaid and food assistance for up to 20 MILLION vulnerable Americans — including their own constituents — to give tax handouts to billionaire CEOs. Tim, I don’t say this lightly: This bill will usher in a dark and deadly moment in our country’s history.”…We just watched Republicans pass a bill in the Senate to rip health care from MILLIONS of Americans — all to fund tax breaks for billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s heartless. It’s corrupt. It’s SINFUL. And it’s our job to make Republicans pay the price at the ballot box.”

CNN Stunned As Majority Of Americans Back Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cnn-stunned-majority-americans-back-trumps-mass-deportation-plan
The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a major deportation victory on Thursday. On the same day, the GOP-led House passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in a narrow 218–214 vote—legislation that paves the way for over one million deportations annually. Meanwhile, the first illegals arrived at “Alligator Alcatraz” in the Florida Everglades, with outbound flights soon to follow. With these massive wins stacking up, Trump has secured yet another victory: the hearts of the American people, who overwhelmingly support this effort to restore national security…with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—set for President Trump’s signature on Friday afternoon—the bill permanently secures the border through the largest investment in immigration enforcement in U.S. history. It includes funding for over one million deportations annually and provides resources to complete the southern border wall…Trump’s deportation agenda is gaining serious momentum, and one key driver is public sentiment. As it turns out, even legacy mainstream media polls show a clear majority of Americans support the administration’s illegal alien crackdown. CNN hosts appeared visibly stunned by the numbers, revealing that the public is firmly behind Trump in restoring law and order nationwide…Trump’s overwhelming support from voters for mass deportations suggests the left’s NGO propaganda machine is failing to control the narrative. The optics look increasingly dire for Democrats, especially as some within their ranks openly cheerlead radical Marxism.

Mexican Restaurant’s Authenticity Questioned After Experiencing Zero ICE Raids
https://babylonbee.com/news/taco-bell-authenticity-questioned-after-zero-ice-raids
ATLANTA, GA — Locals have begun questioning the authenticity of purported Mexican restaurant “El Bandido” as ICE has yet to raid the restaurant a single time. With nearby restaurants being hit by ICE on a near-daily basis, concerns about El Bandido’s genuineness have risen as no waiter, cook, or busboy has been taken into custody. “It’s a bad look,” said former patron Dan Billings. “How do you claim to serve authentic Mexican cuisine and your kitchen door hasn’t even been broken down by ICE? It just doesn’t add up. I’m taking my business over to Julio’s, they’re getting raided all the time. Just last week, ICE hit ’em right when I was getting my enchiladas. That’s how you know it’s good.” The owner of El Bandido has defended his restaurant, adamantly maintaining its authenticity. “I’m sure ICE will be here any day, I’ve got so many illegals in the back — just give us time!” stated Mr. Javier Lopez. “Please, you’ve got to believe me, there’s not one green card holder back there. I promise!” At publishing time, Lopez had begun offering a free enchilada plate for any ICE officer who arrested one of his staff.

Planned Parenthood Warns Funding Cut Will Result In Birth Of Thousands Of Babies
https://babylonbee.com/news/planned-parenthood-warns-funding-cut-will-result-in-birth-of-thousands-of-babies/
Following the passing of President Donald Trump’s historic “Big Beautiful Bill” to set the government’s spending budget, Planned Parenthood warned that the massive funding cut would result in the birth of thousands of babies. The abortion provider issues a solemn public statement on Friday, letting Americans across the country know that the crippling reduction in government funding would likely cause a chain reaction that would lead to thousands upon thousand of healthy, adorable babies being born into the world. “It’s important to let everyone know what’s going to come from this,” said Planned Parenthood spokesperson Jeannie Raye. “We were hoping to avoid this outcome, but we regret to inform the American people that this cut in funding due to Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will, in all likelihood, result in large numbers of babies being born instead of murdered. It’s a horrifying realization for all of us here.” Inside sources reported that Planned Parenthood leaders were worried that America would be unprepared for the onslaught of beautiful infants that would be produced in the wake of the spending bill’s passing. “It is, indeed, a sad day,” one source said. “We’d love to keep dismembering babies in their mothers’ wombs, but without our federal funding, we’re afraid that these lovable little human beings will instead be born alive. Who wants to live in a country like this?” At publishing time, Planned Parenthood also warned that the thousands of births that would result from the loss of funding could result in stronger, more stable families led by parents who learn to live like responsible adults.

Trump fighting ‘unconstitutional power grab’ by Obama judge who reopened the floodgates
https://www.theblaze.com/news/trump-fighting-unconstitutional-power-grab-by-obama-judge-who-reopened-the-floodgates
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, weaseled around the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 27 determination regarding nationwide injunctions in Trump v. CASA Inc. in order to universally bar the administration from expelling asylum seekers from the United States…Trump had exceeded his executive authority in adopting “an alternative immigration system” and that his day-one proclamation was unlawful. “Nothing in the INA or the Constitution grants the president or his delegates the sweeping authority asserted in the Proclamation and implementing guidance,” wrote Moss. “An appeal to necessity cannot fill that void.”…Justice Brett Kavanaugh recognized in his concurring opinion that district courts may still be able to “grant or deny the functional equivalent of a universal injunction — for example, by granting or denying a preliminary injunction to a putative nationwide class under Rule 23(b)(2).” Moss embraced this “functional equivalent of a universal injunction” and certified all border-jumping asylum seekers “who are now or will be present in the United States” as a protected class…Attorney General Pam Bondi characterized Moss as a “rogue” judge “trying to circumvent the Supreme Court’s recent ruling against nationwide injunctions.”

Once again, the thing Democrats swore isn’t happening is something they don’t want anyone looking into, and will wage lawfare in order to keep that information from getting out…20 Democrat-led states are suing the DHS in order to make them stop looking into whether Medicaid dollars have been spent on illegals…Those jurisdictions allow some low-income immigrants, including some without legal status, who do not qualify for Medicaid to access state-funded health programs.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC – 3:52 PM Jul 1, 2025 – “Not one federal dollar currently goes to giving undocumented people Medicaid and you know that.

The Curbing Of The Administrative State
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/curbing-administrative-state
The Supreme Court delivered an opinion last week that not even the best of the punditry class was prepared to understand. The decision was Trump vs. CASA, and the topic concerned the nationwide injunction against Trump’s management of U.S. immigration policy. As with more than 40 other cases, federal district judges have intervened to stop the president from exercising executive powers. The opinion could not be plainer: “Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts.” That principle applies not only to this case but to the whole panoply of cases that have tethered the ability of the president to manage executive branch operations. The courts have presumed authority over the president that the Constitution plainly does not grant.

Chuck Schumer Makes Incredibly Petty Move, Trump Loses ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Title
https://www.westernjournal.com/chuck-schumer-makes-incredibly-petty-move-trump-loses-big-beautiful-bill-title/
The Senate Democrats…have flexed their muscles at long last. They’ve shown exactly what they’re capable of doing. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has taken the title “Big Beautiful Bill” off the “Big Beautiful Bill.”,,,In what has to be described as the most petty display of political impotence since Joe Biden strode onto a debate stage last June 27, Schumer decided to remove the name “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” from the legislation… saying that the title violated a section of the so-called “Byrd Rule,” the law that governs the budget reconciliation process…the leader of the Senate Democrats is wasting our time with the thoroughly unserious move of changing the title when he could be doing literally anything else

‘It’s beyond incompetence’: Trump responds to Blaze reporter asking why Mayorkas and others have not been arrested
https://www.theblaze.com/news/trump-arrest-mayorkas-julio-rosas
…“Well, you know, the pardons are being given out to many people that should not have been given out to them,” the president responded, “like the unselect committee of political thugs were given a pardon because they destroyed all the information from two years of hearings, and they should be arrested, not given pardons. Was he given a pardon, Mayorkas? Was he not? No?” “I don’t believe so, sir,” Rosas replied. “Well, I’d take a look at that because what he did was — it’s beyond incompetence,” the president responded.”Something had to be done. Now, with that being said, he took orders from other people, and he was really doing the orders, and you could say he was very loyal to them because it must have been very hard for him to stand up and sit up and, you know, talk about what he allowed to happen to this country and be serious about it. So he was given orders,” Trump continued.

HHS layoffs were likely unlawful and must be halted, US judge says
https://apnews.com/article/trump-hhs-layoffs-restructuring-maha-rfk-7adbc357bf25b2c92b94e012ba3d8316
…U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose granted the preliminary injunction sought by a coalition of attorneys general from 19 states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit filed in early May. DuBose said the states had shown “irreparable harm,” from the cuts and were likely to prevail in their claims that “HHS’s action was both arbitrary and capricious as well as contrary to law.” The attorneys general argued that the massive restructuring was arbitrary and outside of the scope of the agency’s authority. The lawsuit also says the action decimated essential programs and pushed burdensome costs onto states….An HHS spokesperson said the administration is reviewing the decision and considering next steps.
(there is the KEY phrase-“pushed burdensome costs onto states”-they want the FEDERAL MONEY for the programs, but don’t want to pay for them themselves – jlr)

Lawfare strikes again: Rogue judge ignores SCOTUS, shields 500,000 from Trump’s immigration crackdown
https://www.theblaze.com/news/lawfare-strikes-again-rogue-judge-ignores-scotus-shields-500000-from-trump-s-immigration-crackdown
U.S. District Court Judge Brian Cogan in Brooklyn attempted to block the Trump administration’s termination of TPS for Haitian nationals. He claimed that Noem “cannot reconsider Haiti’s TPS designation in a way that takes effect before February 3, 2026, the expiration of the most recent previous extension.” “Plaintiffs are likely to (and, indeed, do) succeed on the merits. Secretary Noem’s partial vacatur was in excess of her authority and was thus unlawful,”…”It looks like the predatory lawfare will continue and Trump will continue to flood the zone with new policies to address the problems created by his predecessor — because it’s necessary to restore the integrity of our laws and because this is what Americans voted for,” Vaughan continued. “Regardless of the lawsuits, Trump is right to cancel TPS for Haitians. Most of those who were given TPS under Biden had already been living in other countries with residency and work permits, so they had no need for protection in the United States. They can go back to those countries. Others can go back to Haiti and contribute to the future of their country with the skills and education they have been allowed to obtain here, often with subsidies from U.S. taxpayers.”

ICE Drops Brilliant Statement on LA Mayor for Refusal to Work With Them, Then Stephen Miller Finishes Her
https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/07/02/ice-drops-brilliant-frosty-response-to-la-mayor-bass-refusal-to-work-with-them-n2191144
…even after the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, you still have Democrats like Mayor Karen Bass refusing to work with ICE…A @FoxNews producer asked LA Mayor Karen Bass this morning if she would be willing to meet with ICE and if there is a deal to be made re: ICE cooperation. Bass said the only deal is for ICE to go home, and she gave no indication she would be willing to meet w/the agency…”ICE isn’t going anywhere and will continue to do what Mayor Bass has utterly failed to do – protect the citizens of Los Angeles. If she wants distance from federal law enforcement, I’m sure there is an upcoming diplomatic trip to Ghana.” – Emily Covington, Assistant Director, ICE Office of Public Affairs…This is what the left has helped to stoke with the anti-ICE demonization, and her statement is just another part of that by acting as though ICE is in the wrong. Republicans should collect all these statements from Democrats and play them on a loop in 2026 because this is how the Democrats are defining themselves now.

House GOP Faces Rebellion As Johnson Scrambles To Salvage Trump Tax Bill
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/house-gop-faces-rebellion-johnson-scrambles-salvage-trump-tax-bill
Speaker Mike Johnson is pressing ahead this week with a vote on the party’s massive reconciliation package — a cornerstone of President Donald J. Trump’s second-term agenda — but signs of fracture within the Republican conference threaten to derail the plan just hours before the vote…A cluster of House Freedom Caucus members are threatening to tank the bill, saying Johnson has abandoned the House’s original budget framework, one that paired $2 trillion in spending cuts with $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. The Senate-passed version, they argue, compromises too much… Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC), the only practicing physician in Congress, has demanded guarantees that the bill’s $50 billion rural hospital fund will benefit struggling institutions like those in his district. “I actually still practice and take care of patients,” Murphy said. “The district that I represent is one of the poorest in the country.”…House Democrats are unified in opposition and eager to tie the legislation to Republican vulnerabilities in the upcoming midterm elections. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told Punchbowl that the bill would haunt “every single swing-seat Republican” who votes for it. He pointed to steep Medicaid reductions and threats to rural health care access as political liabilities. “The American people do not trust the Republican Party with respect to health care,” Jeffries said. “The whole enterprise is a toxic scheme.” On Thursday, Jeffries is expected to deliver a roughly one-hour speech on the House floor, a so-called “Magic Minute,” to lay out Democrats’ objections.

I have personal reasons for my hate of the mullahs, but that truncated list of the torture and murder of Americans should serve as a reminder to some: If one side thinks y’all are at war … y’all are at war. Iran, directly and through its proxies, has been at war and killing Americans for four decades. Folks might ought to keep that in mind.

RFK Jr. Unloads Disturbing Vaccine Secrets On Tucker… And Surprises Everyone On Trump
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/rfk-jr-unloads-disturbing-vaccine-secrets-tucker-and-surprises-everyone-trump
It’s not every day an active HHS Secretary sits down for 90 minutes straight with Tucker Carlson…He revealed that the health agency buried a 1999 internal study led by researcher Thomas Verstraten, which showed an alarming 1135% increase in autism risk from the hepatitis B vaccine…RFK Jr. then explained the real reason why your pediatrician will kick you out of their practice for refusing vaccines.“There’s a published article out there now that says that 50% of revenues to most pediatricians come from vaccines.”…“None of the vaccines given to children in the first six months of life have ever been studied for autism.”…The vaccine corruption didn’t end there. Kennedy attested that the CDC killed off a vaccine injury reporting system that actually worked—because it worked too well. It showed that 1 in 37 vaccines caused an injury…Kennedy didn’t stop at old vaccine scandals. He also broke down Pfizer’s own COVID vaccine trial data. That trial showed a 23% higher death rate in the vaccinated group. Pfizer gave 21,720 people the vaccine and 21,728 the placebo. One vaccinated person died of COVID. Two placebo recipients died. They used this tiny difference to claim “100% effective” based on relative risk reduction. But in absolute terms, it took 22,000 vaccinations to save one life. Over six months, 21 vaccinated participants died of all causes, compared to 17 in the placebo group—a 23.5% higher death rate…There’s so much more in this conversation, and it might change the way you think about vaccines forever. For the full picture, watch the entire interview below.

California Moves Forward With Higher Marijuana Excise Tax
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/california-moves-forward-higher-marijuana-excise-tax
Buying legal weed and marijuana products in California will get slightly more expensive starting July 1 after state legislators failed to stop a state excise tax increase on the industry this month.Effective Tuesday, marijuana retailers will pay 19 percent of gross receipts from cannabis and cannabis product sales—a jump of 4 percentage points. The excise tax is paid in addition to state sales tax and any city or county taxes applicable to the business’s location…“California’s plans to raise the cannabis excise tax rate to 19 percent will only increase the number of failed legal cannabis businesses,” …the tax increase falls on consumers and patients at a time when many are struggling with inflation and cost-of-living challenges. The group also said it puts public health and safety at greater risk by driving even more Californians to the illegal black market.

TEXAS – Everything is bigger in Texas, including Chutzpah
Family Of Karmelo Anthony Asks For Millions In Donations After Murder Indictment
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/family-karmelo-anthony-asks-millions-donations-after-murder-indictment
Things are not going well for Karmelo Anthony compared to a couple months ago. Despite confessing to the stabbing that led to the death of athlete Austin Metcalf at a track event on April 2, 2025 in Frisco, Texas, Anthony was given greatly reduced bail and allowed to remain under house arrest by a progressive activist judge. Anthony’s family posted a public fundraiser on GiveSendGo which ultimately raised over $500,000 for legal expenses. Many of the donations included racially charged messages calling for Karmelo to be “protected” regardless of his crime simply because he is black and his victim was white. The stabbing has been represented as an act of self defense, but also as “payback” against white people. The call for donations was then amended to include money needed for “relocation” (a new home) after the family claimed they received threats. Karmelo was allowed by Texas courts to leave the state for an “undisclosed location” until his trial, a highly unusual accommodation. Furthermore, the Anthony’s have engaged in a press bonanza which has turned the case into a circus…Reporters have been allowed to view footage taken of the incident (footage that will not be released to the public) and there are no reports of Metcalf attacking Anthony…Anthony and his family have exhibited no signs of remorse over the death of Metcalf. In fact, they have leaned into the racial undertones of the case…The Anthony case is yet another reminder of progressive efforts to paint every minority criminal incident as a product of “racial inequality”. Taking responsibility is absolutely out of the question, even in clear cut incidents of theft, rape, violence and murder.

Cornyn & Establishment Gun Lobby Caves by Backing Down on SHORT Act & HPA Fight
https://txgunrights.org/cornyn-establishment-gun-lobby-caves-by-backing-down-on-short-act-hpa-fight/
In a stunning betrayal of grassroots gun owners, the establishment gun lobby is throwing its weight behind a watered-down version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill (BBB),” abandoning the fight to fully repeal the National Firearms Act (NFA) provisions that restrict suppressors and short-barreled firearms. At the tip of the spear in this betrayal? Texas’s own Senator John Cornyn…Facing an uphill reelection fight against Attorney General Ken Paxton, Senator Cornyn has suddenly discovered the Second Amendment — or at least the importance of paying lip service to it…gun owners in Texas haven’t forgotten 2022, when Cornyn was the lead Republican negotiator on Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — a law that opened the floodgates for Red Flag gun confiscation orders and expanded the NICS Gun Ban Registry…with his poll numbers in free fall, Cornyn is hoping a phony “pro-gun” win will be enough to fool voters.

SCOTUS: 14th Amendment ‘Intended to Exclude’ Children of Illegals
https://pjmedia.com/athena-thorne/2025/07/01/scotus-14th-amendment-intended-to-excludechildren-ofcitizens-or-subjects-of-foreign-states-n4941330
Anti-American leftists like to pretend that the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to every new babe delivered on U.S. soil, regardless of the legal status of the parents. “It’s birthright citizenship! It’s in the Constitution!” they bray. Conveniently, they gloss over that stubborn little phrase — and subject to the jurisdiction thereof — that separates All persons born or naturalized in the United States and are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside…the full text of the first sentence of the first section of the 14th Amendment is: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside…That President Donald Trump has brought us to this moment of challenging the status quo — by bringing the most consequential citizenship question before a Supreme Court that he has shaped into a more centrist and fair body than it has been in decades — may turn out to be the greatest of the many gifts he has given us, at great expense and danger to himself. There are no words for the gratitude he is owed.

Mamdani has a plan for paying for his city-owned grocery stores. He’s planning to tap into a $140 million pile of subsidies for “corporate grocery stores.”
But that pile of money doesn’t exist. He just misread a government website…Mamdani represents the level of idiocy in governance you would expect from a communist. He can’t even read an infographic properly, but he’s going to run a city with a GDP larger than most every other country on the planet.

NYPD Officers Threaten Mass Exodus if Socialist Candidate Mamdani Wins Mayoral Race
https://americanjournaldaily.com/nypd-officers-threaten-city/
…NYPD officers are sending a clear message about socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani: If he wins in November, many will quit their jobs…Mamdani wants to do things that would make the city less safe. He wants to make a new Department of Community Safety separate from the NYPD. He wants to stop working with ICE. He wants to make drug possession legal. He wants to set up places where people can use drugs under watch. Unlike other candidates, he doesn’t want to hire more police…Curtis Sliwa, who is running against Mamdani, said the socialist wants to “neuter the Police Department” and turn officers into social workers. “He has a weird idea of how policing should be, like it should be people like Gandhi walking around as social workers. That does not work,” Sliwa said…Anti-Police Rhetoric Has Consequences, Mamdani has said many bad things about police in the past. In 2020, he tweeted that “the NYPD is racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety” and said “queer liberation means defund the police.” Now during his campaign, he tries to sound more normal by saying police “have a critical role to play.” But many officers don’t believe his sudden change of heart.

Shi’a Muslims believe that a 12th Imam — called the “Mahdi” or “The Hidden”, who exists today, but is hidden by Allah. When the Mahdi is revealed, it will trigger the Muslim version of the Christian Book of Revelations — the end of the world, where the deserving will ascend to Heaven, and the undeserving get punted into hell…The mullahs believe that if the world is on fire — if the entire bloody world is at war — the Mahdi will pop-up and start the End-of-Days to settle everyone’s hash…Don’t get the mullahs and the average Iranian on the street confused, please.

MEDIA BLACKOUT: Hamas Murders 12 American Aid Workers, Others Tortured in Gaza
https://gellerreport.com/2025/06/media-blackout-hamas-murders-12-american-aid-workers-others-tortured-in-gaza.html/
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation GHF, an Israeli and US-backed NGO, began operating in Gaza in May to distribute humanitarian aid.The newly, established mechanism for Gaza aid deliveries was designed to prevent Hamas from stealing aid. Hamas is killing the aid workers. Hamas wants to control all aid in the Gaza Strip so it can militarize it and use it to repress Gazans. “We are aware of credible reports that Hamas is openly targeting the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and those who work with us. According to these reports, Hamas has placed bounties on both our American security personnel and Palestinian aid workers, offering cash rewards to anyone who injures or kills them. In recent days, Hamas has also pre-positioned armed operatives near humanitarian zones in an effort to disrupt the only functioning aid delivery system in Gaza.

Alligator Alcatraz Live: Trump Tours New Illegal Alien Deportation Camp In Florida Swamp
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/alligator-alcatraz-live-trump-tours-new-illegal-deportation-camp-florida-swamp
Alligator Alcatraz is a detention, processing, and deportation center for illegal aliens. With 5,000 beds, it is designed to support the federal government’s efforts to deport illegals, particularly those with criminal records. “You may think Alligator Alcatraz is a bit much. You may think ICE raids at Home Depots are harsh. You make think sending gang bangers to a top security Salvadoran prison seems cruel. You may think mass deportations is a mean policy. But each leads to thousands and eventually millions of self deportations. When illegals know there are real consequences for breaking into America, many, perhaps a majority will conclude it’s no longer worth the risk and return home — and that’s exactly the point,” conservative media host Charlie Kirk wrote on X.

Protesters Outraged As Trump Expected To Visit ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ In Florida
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/protesters-outraged-trump-expected-visit-alligator-alcatraz-florida
America has the best alligators in the world, big beautiful alligators, perfect for stopping dangerous illegal immigrants from escaping detention until they can be processed and deported…A legal and environmental firestorm is growing around Florida’s controversial migrant detention center under construction at the remote Dade‑Collier airstrip deep in the Everglades. Any illegals trying to escape the facility would have to face hundreds of National Guard soldiers as well as miles upon miles of snake and alligator infested waters before they reached civilization, essentially ensuring they stay in place until they are removed from the US…The current battle highlights a common tactic used by progressives – The exploitation of environmental sentiments as a tool to undermine unrelated conservative projects and policies. One lawsuit, filed by Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity, alleges that federal and state agencies have violated laws that, in part, require evaluating potential environmental impacts before such a project can move forward.,,”There will be some very dangerous criminal aliens that get processed through here,” DeSantis told FOX News. “But if, for some reason, someone would be able to get out, where are you gonna go? You gonna dodge alligators for 50 miles to try to get to… no, it’s not gonna happen. So this is basically as secure as it gets.” The state says the site will cost about $450 million a year to operate. That cost, according to officials, will be reimbursed by FEMA… Alligator Alcatraz is going to open and there’s not much that progressives can do to stop it.

Washington Examiner reporter Anna Giaritelli took to social media recently to chronicle her visit to Florida’s ballyhooed “Alligator Alcatraz” — a detention facility for illegal immigrants — where she was stunned to see just how fitting that moniker was…“There really are alligators out here just feet from the road by ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’”…Giaritelli noted that she was at “Alligator Alcatraz” for a very special reason: the president of the United States. President Donald Trump will be at the facility’s dining hall, leading a discussion. why shouldn’t he? The meme-worthy “Alligator Alcatraz” may not be a Trump brain child like the One Big Beautiful Bill, but it’s still a manifestation of Trump’s tough-on-crime and tough-on-illegal immigration stances. Which is probably why the left is having such a pathetically hard time coping with this…A believable threat of apprehension and/or punishment is the most powerful deterrent for would-be illegal immigrants and those currently in the country illegally…the left can moan and cry and conjure up all the worst-case scenarios they want. There’s just no empirical evidence to listen to them — at all.

These concepts have been elaborated by people who would describe themselves as “self-aware,” “progressive,” and “liberated,” but they are actually terms more fit for a society of slaves than a society of free persons. Indeed, these concepts, at least as they are typically employed by “progressives,” could be described, without exaggeration, as a species of slavespeak. By this, I simply mean that they are used disingenuously, to rationalise political oppression and slavery. – Misinformation/disinformation – Far right – Xenophobia – Hate speech – Tolerance – Safe online experience – Health equity – Digital inclusion – Environmental sustainability – Transphobia – Conspiracy theorist

The Coward’s Bargain – Everyone’s Afraid to Speak
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cowards-bargain
Someone our family has known forever recently told my sister that they’ve been reading my Substack and that if they wrote the things I write, people would call them crazy. I got a kick out of that—not because it’s untrue, but because it reveals something darker about where we’ve ended up as a society. Most people are terrified of being themselves in public. My sister’s response made me laugh: “People do call him crazy. He simply doesn’t care.”…This is the adult world we’ve built—one where courage is so rare that people mistake it for privilege, where speaking your mind is seen as a luxury only the privileged can afford, rather than a fundamental requirement for actually becoming established…this is the world we’re handing to our children…I remember teachers threatening us with our “permanent record.” We laughed—some mysterious file that would follow us forever? Turns out they were just early. Now we’ve built those records and handed the recording devices to children. Companies like Palantir have turned this surveillance into a sophisticated business model…This is how totalitarian thinking takes root—not through jackbooted thugs, but through a million small acts of self-censorship…George Orwell understood this perfectly. In 1984, the Party’s greatest achievement wasn’t forcing people to say things they didn’t believe—it was making them afraid to believe things they weren’t supposed to say. “The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake,” O’Brien explains to Winston. “We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power.” But the real genius was making citizens complicit in their own oppression, turning everyone into both prisoner and guard…These days, friends are starting to confide in me that maybe I was right about the mRNA vaccines not working. I don’t gloat—in fact, I appreciate the openness. But my standard reply is that they’re four years late to the story.

The Decline And Fall Of Our So-Called Degreed Experts

Stay Sane!
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/stay-sane
What apparently riles the credentialed political Left — the “gay / race communists” in the apt new phrase — more than anything, is that most of the country has opted to not be insane…Donald Trump, the uber-realist of political game-playing, pushes what remains of the Democratic Party into a rapture of impotent rage. They’ve got nothing left but the empty acting-out of lunatics in an asylum of their own making…what exactly set in motion this fantastic cascade of political madness, especially among the highly educated demographic…Mr. Trump, meanwhile, has actually tried, against all odds and endless threats, to represent the interests of common US citizens, that is, most of us, the non-royal, and to navigate the collective consciousness of this human mass away from the long-creeping, imposed insanity…The remnant Left is reeling now, most recently from last week’s SCOTUS decision foreclosing the universal injunction nonsense sponsored by Norm Eisen and Mary McCord’s lawfare corps. That campaign, which raged for five months, might prove to be their last gasp. You know, though, that they are plotting another round of election fraud for the 2026 midterms. But it looks like their previous frauds are on the verge of being uncovered — finally, after years of evasion and no help from a treasonous news media — and there’s a fair chance that they can’t pull off more fraud next time. Passage of a proof-of-citizenship law for national elections could seal that deal.

The British rap/punk duo Bob Vylan was mocked over their statement about “being targeted” after they blew up their U.S. Tour dreams when the group led chants at the Glastonbury Music Festival calling for the death of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers. In a statement posted on the band’s X account, the group reacted to the US revoking their visas, the cancellation of their 26-concert US tour, and being dropped by their talent agency, making it clear they do not understand that what they did was wrong.

Iran Issues Death Fatwa Against Donald Trump: “Enemy of God”

This is a blatant violation of the hudna (ceasefire.) Living under a fatwa is living with a death threat for the rest of your life. The regime in Iran is now commanding Muslims everywhere to murder them both.
A senior cleric in Iran has issued a fatwa declaring that anyone who threatens Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is “an enemy of God,” state media has reported…“…anyone who threatens the Leader or Marja is considered “an enemy of God” and reminded Muslims and Islamic states that it would be “haram” (forbidden) to stand in support of the enemy. “It is necessary for all Muslims around the world to make these enemies regret their words and mistakes,” the fatwa said. “…the fatwa had been signed and sealed responding to an Estefta (formal query) and was significant because it directly named Trump and that “unlike the nonexistent Fatwa against nukes, this one is real.”

This is one of my first interviews with Selco, and lately, I feel like this subject matter is more important than ever. I certainly don’t want any of my new neighbors to know that I have preps to see us through difficult times. I live in the city, in an apartment complex, and privacy here is extremely important. But honestly, it’s the same in most places. While you may have a handful of trusted neighbors, what you have to worry about is who those trusted neighbors might tell in an effort to be helpful.

Indianapolis Teen with Machine Gun Arrested Twice in 48 Hours
https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2025/07/01/indianapolis-teen-with-machine-gun-arrested-twice-in-48-hours-n1229122
A teenager armed with a machine gun and making threats to others was arrested twice by Indianapolis police because he managed to throw away his weapon in a pursuit. Officers spotted the suspect, later identified as 19-year-old Ajon Hall, walking into a parking garage…police say he threw the backpack 30-feet down between two buildings. A fire department team was able to get that backpack and found what they described as a “machine gun conversion device and a high-capacity magazine.” When detectives tried to charge Hall with what they’d found, they learned he’d already been released. Lucky for them, after he was released, Hall began making death threats to people he knew. A license plate reader found Hall and pulled him over. He was arrested without incident. While searching the vehicle, another firearm was found. Yet our Founding Fathers had no issue with bail requirements. There’s nothing in the Constitution barring them, and that’s likely for a reason. They understood that some people need to be held or for there to be some kind of surety for good behavior. Bail does that.

It’s Up to Texas Lawmakers to Get Rid of This ‘Gun-Free Zone’
https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/07/01/its-up-to-texas-lawmakers-to-get-rid-of-this-gun-free-zone-n1229126
Lawmakers came close this year with SB 1065, authored by Sen. Bob Hall .If adopted, it would have allowed for entities like the Texas State Fair to face civil penalties if they prohibited concealed carry on government-owned or leased property. The bill cleared the Senate and was approved by a House committee, but the legislature adjourned without the measure getting a vote by the full House. That means this will almost certainly be the second year in a row that fairgoers will be denied the right to carry. With the Texas legislature only meeting every other year, lawmakers won’t have the chance to address this “gun-free zone” until January, 2027 unless Gov. Greg Abbott calls a special session, which might allow legislators to bring this up sooner. Even if Paxton successfully appeals Tobolowsky’s decision, there’s no way the appeals court is going to hear arguments and issue a ruling before this year’s fair begins in September.

‘You Must OPEN Your Eyes!’ Infantryman Gives Lefties Crying ISLAMOPHOBIA a BRUTAL Dose of Reality and WOW

InfantryDort @infantrydort
Nah, you guys know what? I’m just gonna come out and say it. And when I’m done saying it, tell me if it’s “blatant Islamophobia” or just…. you know… reality.
Let me explain to you some of the things I witnessed with my very own eyes in multiple Muslim countries. This will not be for the weak or faint of heart.
1. They didn’t just massacre one another in Baghdad, they chopped each other up into little pieces and stuffed them in underground vats. SPC Plocica was the only one with a strong enough stomach to fish the pieces out with a coat hanger so we could confirm the report. Don’t worry
@Primz94933160 was there too as a witness. Rib cages with rotted flesh, pieces of legs with shoes attached, arms, hands, you name it. It was the most disgusting thing I’ve seen with my two eyes.
2. The obsession with having sex with children or feminine men. The saying over there was women are for breeding and men are for fun. We had to protect our fairer looking male Soldiers from being molested CONSTANTLY. But that isn’t the worst part. I once stumbled upon an Afghan colonel r*ping his 11 year old assistant, I heard the unholy noises emanating from his tent on our FOB. When I moved to interdict I was stopped for fear of a Green on Blue incident. And then we were all “educated” on the fact that this was CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR THEM TO DO. It was as normal as breathing.
3. Women are less than nothing to them. I would always ask how many children elders had for small talk. They could have 10 kids. 7 daughters and 3 sons. What will they tell you? They have 3 sons. I watched a man carrying his dead daughter in his arms to my FOB. She died due to a malfunctioned bomb we dropped. That didn’t matter to him. He dropped her on the ground with a stone cold face and demanded we pay him. She was f*****g NOTHING to him. He left the body with us and walked away counting his money.
4. Some of them have sex with animals. Ask me if I saw a man from COP 763 in east Baghdad mount a donkey in the middle of the night through a RAID FLIR camera. Because the answer will be yes.
5. They did heinous things in battle. Suicide bombings. Using their own wives as human shields. Using children as shields. Shooting from mosques. Spitting at our working dogs… or worse. This all sounds crazy right? And I bet my comment section will flow with similar horror stories. It almost sounds like I’m making it up huh? I wish I was. I really do.
I know good Muslims in America. One of them is among my closest friends. But he’s passed through the American filter…HEAVILY. I can safely say he is literally one of us.
My question for you is, how are you not “Islamophobic”? My assessment comes from 4 total years immersed in multiple Islamic nations.
I wish I could say I’m sorry that I’m an inconvenient truth teller against your agenda.
But I’m not sorry at all. You must open your eyes. You MUST see this is a problem. Don’t you? How can you not?

Zohran Mamdani as NYC Mayor: The Death of the Big Apple

New York City stands on the edge of a cliff, and Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor will shove it into the abyss. His radical socialist agenda, laced with dangerous ideologies, will torch the city’s foundation, turning the greatest metropolis on Earth into a third-world wasteland. This isn’t speculation – it’s a guarantee. If Mamdani takes City Hall, New York will bleed out, becoming a lawless, bankrupt, Gaza-like no-go zone where chaos reigns and hope dies.

NYC’s New Marxist Star Wants to Seize the Means of Production
https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2025/06/30/mamdani-seize-the-means-of-production-n4941300
Mamdani is an old-school communist, as you’ll see below…Old-school Marxism is fine for college stoners, but the grown-ups have hedge funds to think about. Modern leftists — except perhaps for Mamdani, whom I’ll return to momentarily — are influenced by Marx but are not Marxists…Marx and Engels were wrong about economics, but they did produce useful philosophical tools for seizing all that money and power. The most potent of those tools is a little something Engels came up with called “false consciousness.” False consciousness originally applied to “class traitors” — members of the working class who weren’t good Marxists or maybe just insufficiently militant. But when class warfare didn’t produce the desired results, the Left expanded the definition. “Black Republicans aren’t real blacks.” “Female conservatives aren’t real women.” “If you don’t support trans rights, you aren’t a real gay.” And we all know what happens to traitors…But, judging by the way even centrist Democrats like Bill Clinton have embraced Mamdani since his primary win last week, it looks like “Marxism, straight up” is the future of the Democratic Party, not its past.

A Call For International Action
https://gellerreport.com/2025/06/a-call-for-international-action.html/
The recent ceasefire in the conflict between Iran and Israel has not brought peace to the Iranian people. Instead, it has unleashed a brutal campaign by the Islamic Republic’s theocratic regime to tighten its grip on power. The mullahs, sensing their vulnerability after widespread unrest and dissent, have launched a vicious crackdown, targeting ordinary citizens, activists, and minority groups with arrests, executions, and intimidation. Over 700 individuals have been detained across Iran in just 12 days, with hundreds more in Tehran alone, according to Iran’s Fars News Agency. Six executions on espionage charges have already occurred, and more are expected. The regime’s message is clear: dissent will be crushed at all costs. The Iranian people, yearning for freedom, cannot achieve it while being hunted and killed. The international community, particularly the United States, must act decisively to support Iranians in their struggle to dislodge the mullahs and secure a referendum for a free Iran where they can determine their government and destiny.

The Government Is Quietly Buying Its Own Debt: A Silent Signal Something’s Cracking
https://www.zerohedge.com/sponsored-post/government-quietly-buying-its-own-debt-silent-signal-somethings-cracking
The U.S. Treasury just quietly executed the largest debt buyback in history—$10 billion worth of its own bonds, matching an earlier round in the same month…When the Treasury starts buying back its own IOUs, it signals a deeper problem: the government is having trouble keeping the bond market calm without outside help… this means the U.S. government is taking old debt off the market — not because it’s paid off, but because rising interest rates are making it harder to manage. Investors offered to sell the Treasury nearly $23 billion worth of bonds. And the government scooped up $10 billion of it in one go. With fewer buyers and rising borrowing costs, the Treasury is taking matters into its own hands to keep interest rates from climbing even faster.

Liberal Justices Predict “Chaos” & The Demise Of Public Education Without Mandatory LGBTQ Material
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/end-nigh-liberal-justices-predict-chaos-demise-public-education-without-mandatory-lgbtq
… The Montgomery County, Md. school system fought to require the reading of 13 “LGBTQ+-inclusive” texts in the English and Language Arts curriculum for kids from pre-K through 12th grade. That covers children just 5-11 years old…Teachers were informed that this was mandatory reading, which must be assigned, and that families would not be allowed to opt out…Teachers were specifically told to “[d]isrupt” thinking or values opposing transgender views…Christian, Muslim, and other families objected to the mandatory program as undermining their religious and moral values…The majority on the Supreme Court ruled that, as with other opt-outs, Montgomery County must allow parents to withdraw their children from these lessons. The response from liberal groups was outrage. Liberal sites declared “another victory for right-wing culture warriors,” even though the public overwhelmingly supported these parents…the most overwrought language came not from liberal advocates but liberal (SCOTUS) justices.

Justice Kagan’s Own Words Come Back To Haunt Her On Nationwide Injunctions
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/justice-kagans-own-words-come-back-haunt-her-nationwide-injunctions
Back in 2022, when President Biden was in the White House and conservatives were the ones seeking relief from his executive orders, Kagan was openly skeptical of nationwide injunctions. “This can’t be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stuck for the years that it takes to go through a normal process,” she said. That’s not some out-of-context paraphrase—it’s her own words, on the record…Now that Donald Trump is back in the Oval Office, she’s all-in for the same judicial overreach she once panned. It just goes to show you who the real partisans on the court are. They aren’t adhering to any particular judicial philosophy or the Constitution, they care only about whether a particular ruling hurts or benefits the Democratic Party.

American cattle rancher Shad Sullivan is sounding the alarm on the “war on beef” that the elites are waging against the American people… “85% of elites and super elites — super elites are ones that went to Ivy League colleges and have a doctorate…the elite are making $150,000 a year, they’ve gone to college, have one postgraduate degree, and they’re involved in the companies or countries.”…“They just did a poll on those people. Eighty-plus percent say that Americans should not be allowed to eat beef or meat of any kind,”…“We have to remember what Klaus Schwab said in 2023 at Davos…‘You will enjoy meat as a treat, but not for sustenance,’” Sullivan agrees. “And we know beef is really the only animal that can provide total and 100% sustenance to human life.”…

Leftists Insist Trump’s Children Be Deported After President’s Win On Birthright Citizenship
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/leftists-insist-trumps-children-be-deported-after-presidents-win-birthright-citizenship
Progressives stupidly refuse to acknowledge the difference between legal and illegal immigration…Should a society have standards for who gets access to its culture and economy? Does a nation have the right to deny some people while accepting others? The majority of countries in the world have such rules and restrictions on immigration, yet the US has for some reason become a petri dish for unfettered multiculturalism. The rest of the planet seems to feel it has the right to demand that Americans open their borders to anyone and everyone…The laws surrounding citizenship outlined in the 14th Amendment were intended to secure rights for newly freed slaves after the Civil War. They were not meant to be used by foreign invaders as a loophole so they could sneak across the border, drop a baby or two on US soil and avoid deportation…The Supreme Court’s stance on this issue has shifted back and forth over the decades but their latest decision denies the assumed powers of federal judges to block White House policy unilaterally. In other words, individual activist judges do not have more power that a lawfully elected president. This should be obvious, but the political left does not care about election outcomes and the will of the people. They think they know better.

*side note: Inevitably, progressives cite the immigration surge from 1870 to 1900 along with the poem on the Statue of Liberty titled “The New Colossus”, which calls to “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” What many people don’t know is that the plaque with the poem wasn’t added to the Statue of Liberty until 1903 and it was written by a feminist and socialist by the name of Emma Lazarus.

This means firearms, ammunition, cleaning kits, fishing rods and reels and other supplies will be sales tax-free…
