Claiming something is true doesn’t make it so. But you won’t hear that from the Left.

And now a key Democrat Congresswoman utterly humiliated herself with one obvious lie.

Omar’s Claim on U.S. Safety Questioned

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a prominent “Squad” member, stirred controversy on June 17, 2025, by asserting that “no one is attacking or has attacked Americans” in the context of the Iran-Israel conflict, urging against U.S. involvement in what she called Israel’s “chosen war.”

President Donald Trump, in a Truth Social post on June 16, demanded Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” while noting U.S. “patience is wearing thin” with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, though he held off on immediate strikes.

Omar’s claim, however, faces scrutiny as evidence mounts of Iran’s aggression toward Americans.

A Fox News Digital report on June 18 detailed Iran’s history of direct and proxy attacks, including a November 2024 Department of Justice case charging an Iranian and two New Yorkers in a plot to assassinate Trump, whom Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Iran’s “enemy No. 1” on Fox News’ Bret Baier show.

Iran’s Documented Hostility Toward U.S. Forces

Omar’s assertion ignores a well-documented record of Iranian aggression. A 2019 Pentagon report cited by Military Times attributes 603 U.S. service member deaths in Iraq (2003-2011) to Iran-backed militias, accounting for 17% of U.S. losses.

Bill Roggio, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that Iran’s support for the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan, including money, weapons, and safe havens, was “incalculable” in its impact on U.S. casualties.

In 2020, Iran fired missiles at two U.S. bases in Iraq in retaliation for the killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, per a CNN report.

Between October 2023 and August 2024, Iranian-backed militias launched 180 attacks on U.S. forces in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan, including a January 2024 drone strike in Jordan that killed three Americans and injured 25, as noted by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas).

Omar’s silence on these incidents, despite inquiries from Fox News, undermines her call for peace.

Historical Precedents and Ongoing Risks

Iran’s hostility extends to historical attacks, like the 1983 Beirut bombings of the U.S. Embassy (63 deaths, 17 Americans) and multinational barracks (241 U.S. personnel), admitted by an Iranian official in 2023, per IRNA.

A 2022 U.S. District Court ruling held Iran liable for damages to families of 40 U.S. service members killed or injured in Iraq due to its terror support.

On June 14, 2025, Iranian-backed militias targeted a U.S. base in Iraq with drones, though the attack was thwarted, per Roggio’s Long War Journal.

Trump’s consideration of a “bunker buster” strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, reported by The Wall Street Journal on June 17, reflects his proactive approach to countering Iran’s nuclear ambitions and protecting U.S. interests.

The bureaucratic state is always undermining Trump. And he isn’t having it.

Now Trump excoriated the Federal Reserve for making this drastic decision.

Trump’s Bold Call for Economic Leadership

President Donald Trump, addressing reporters at the White House on June 18, 2025, sharply criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for his anticipated decision to hold interest rates steady, a move Trump sees as a misstep for the economy.

Reflecting on his 2018 appointment of Powell, Trump expressed regret, stating, “What I’m going to do is, you know, he gets out in about nine months, he has to, he gets fortunately terminated … I would have never reappointed him, (President Joe) Biden reappointed him.”

Trump’s frustration stems from Powell’s cautious approach, which he dubbed “too late Powell,” claiming, “I call him ‘too late Powell’ because he’s always too late. I mean, if you look at him, every time I did this I was right 100%, he was wrong.”

Trump’s knack for economic foresight, evident in his first term’s growth, fuels his push for a more dynamic Fed, per Bloomberg’s June 2025 analysis of his market influence.

A Vision for a Responsive Fed

Trump playfully mused about leading the Fed himself, saying, “Maybe I should go to the Fed. Am I allowed to appoint myself at the Fed? I’d do a much better job than these people.”

While not a serious proposal, it underscores his belief in decisive action over Powell’s hesitancy.

The Fed’s expected decision to maintain rates, reported by Reuters on June 18, reflects concerns over a cooling economy, potential inflation from Trump’s proposed tariffs, and Middle East tensions.

Trump, however, argues Powell’s delays harm American workers and businesses, a view echoed by Fox Business’ June 2025 coverage noting public support for his economic agenda.

Trump clarified he won’t fire Powell before his term ends in May 2026 but made clear he won’t reappoint him, criticizing Biden’s 2022 decision to do so, hinting at political motives: “I don’t know why that is, but I guess maybe he was a Democrat.”

Championing Economic Growth

Trump’s critique aligns with his broader economic strategy, which has driven a 1.7% real wage increase for blue-collar workers in his first five months, per Treasury data reported by The Post in June 2025.

His push for lower rates aims to sustain this momentum, contrasting with Powell’s conservative stance, which some analysts, like those at CNBC in May 2025, argue risks stifling growth.

Trump’s first term saw robust job creation and stock market gains, often credited to his pressure on the Fed, and he’s signaling a return to that playbook.

By highlighting Powell’s missteps, Trump positions himself as the steward of a thriving economy, ready to install a Fed leader who shares his vision for cutting rates and boosting American prosperity when Powell’s term ends.

Noem was rushed to the hospital in a scary scene on Tuesday. Now we’ve finally received an update.

Because Kristi Noem’s team issued a critical update from the hospital.

Homeland Security Secretary Hospitalized for Allergic Reaction

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was hospitalized on June 17, 2025, following an allergic reaction, according to department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.

“She is alert and recovering,” McLaughlin stated, noting the hospital visit was precautionary. Noem, 53, oversees a department of approximately 260,000 employees responsible for immigration enforcement, airport security, disaster response, and other critical functions.

The incident occurred amid Noem’s high-profile tenure, during which she has frequently traveled and maintained an active social media presence.

Reuters reported on June 18 that Noem was discharged later that day and resumed her duties, with no further details provided on the cause of the reaction.

Role in Immigration Policy and Recent Controversy

As a key figure in President Trump’s Cabinet, Noem has been a prominent advocate for his mass deportation initiative.

She regularly accompanies immigration enforcement operations and has appeared in public service announcements urging undocumented immigrants to depart voluntarily. Last week, a press conference in California sparked controversy when U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) was forcibly removed by Noem’s Secret Service detail while attempting to address her about immigration raids.

Video footage, aired by CNN on June 12, shows a Secret Service agent grabbing Padilla’s jacket, shoving him out of the room, and subsequently handcuffing him in a hallway.

The Secret Service described Padilla as a potential “attacker,” while Homeland Security labeled his actions “disrespectful political theater.”

Noem, speaking to Fox LA on June 11, called the incident unfortunate but said she had a “great” follow-up conversation with Padilla. Padilla, in a June 17 Senate floor speech, recounted the event emotionally, criticizing the administration’s immigration approach.

Background and Prior Incidents

Before her appointment as Homeland Security Secretary, Noem served two terms as South Dakota’s governor and was a U.S. Representative, consistently aligning with Trump’s agenda.

She requested the Homeland Security role to focus on Trump’s priority of border security, per a January 2025 Politico profile.

Earlier this year, on Easter Sunday, Noem’s purse—containing $3,000 in cash, her driver’s license, passport, keys, and Homeland Security badge—was stolen during a family dinner.

The Washington Post reported on April 3, 2025, that a suspect was arrested and charged with aggravated identity theft, robbery, and fraud in federal court. The department clarified the cash was intended for family gifts and Easter activities.

The United States has plenty of enemies. And they’re always scheming.

But now the FBI uncovered a bombshell infiltration that could turn America upside down.

Uncovering a Chinese Plot to Tilt 2020

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell on Congress, handing over a stack of documents exposing an alleged Chinese scheme to meddle in the 2020 election with thousands of fake US driver’s licenses.

The mainstream media might brush this off as old news, but Patel’s move rips the veil off a murky plot that reeks of foreign interference. A confidential source tipped off the FBI around August 2020, claiming the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) aimed to use these bogus licenses to flood mail-in ballots for Joe Biden.

While details remain shadowy, the FBI’s own spokesperson confirmed to The New York Post that the plot was real enough to raise alarms, yet intelligence reports were mysteriously yanked before they could see daylight.

Patel, undeterred, declassified the report and shipped it to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for a closer look. “The FBI has located documents which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP,” Patel declared on X.

A Trail of Fake Licenses and Recalled Reports

The scale of the alleged scheme is staggering. Around the time the FBI caught wind of it, US Customs and Border Protection intercepted nearly 20,000 counterfeit driver’s licenses.

That’s no small number, especially when you consider Biden’s razor-thin victories in swing states like Arizona (10,000+ votes), Georgia (12,000+ votes), and Wisconsin (20,000+ votes).

Grassley, a longtime skeptic of the FBI’s handling of this intel, pushed for answers, suspecting the bureau didn’t dig deep enough despite the smoking gun of fake IDs. “Specifically, these include allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots — allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public,” Patel told Just the News.

Grassley’s team confirmed they’ve got the documents, sparked by a whistleblower’s legally protected disclosures, and are now demanding the FBI explain why the original report was buried and by whom.

“Lastly, explain why the FBI under your predecessor required the original IIR to be destroyed, whether this practice is consistent with the FBI’s past and current practice, and how it comports with federal record preservation requirements,” Grassley pressed in a letter to Patel.

Patel’s Push for Transparency

Patel’s tenure at the FBI’s helm is shaking up the bureau’s secretive ways, and this document dump is proof. He’s vowed to drag long-hidden truths into the open, especially for lawmakers like Grassley who’ve battled the agency’s stonewalling.

The issue of fake Chinese-made IDs isn’t new—back in 2012, senators including Grassley and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) sounded alarms when 1,700 counterfeit licenses were nabbed at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. Yet, the 2020 plot’s recall raises red flags about whether the FBI was complicit in sweeping it under the rug.

“Thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassley, the FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency at the people’s Bureau,” Patel said.

Grassley’s camp is now pushing for more internal FBI communications to uncover who pulled the plug on the investigation and why.

The media has been attacking Trump for years. But they always pretended it was genuine journalism.

Now an ABC reporter said the quiet part out loud about mainstream media bias.

Shattering the Myth of Objectivity

Terry Moran, freshly ousted from ABC News, didn’t mince words in a raw Substack chat with The Bulwark’s Tim Miller. The former reporter, unceremoniously dumped after a fiery anti-Trump X post, scoffed at the sacred cow of journalistic “objectivity.”

Calling himself a “centrist” and “Hubert Humphrey Democrat,” Moran waved off right-wing critics who claim his outburst exposed a liberal bias festering in mainstream media.

“My own feeling is that you don’t sacrifice your citizenship as a journalist. Your job is not to be objective,” he said, dismantling the idea that reporters should be emotionless robots. He sneered at the notion of a “Mount Olympus of objectivity” where some elite class of scribes floats above society’s mess.

“We’re all in this together. What you have to be is fair and accurate,” he argued, pointing to his tense April interview with Trump as proof he can walk that line.

Backing Pelley’s Battle Cry

Moran didn’t stop at torching objectivity. He threw his full weight behind CBS News’ Scott Pelley, whose viral Wake Forest commencement speech last month lit up the internet for its unapologetic jab at the Trump administration.

“I thought Scott was absolutely spot on,” Moran said, reveling in his newfound freedom to “help in that good work.”

Pelley’s address was a Molotov cocktail, warning graduates of a creeping “insidious fear” strangling truth, DEI, and free speech.

“In this moment, this morning, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack,” Pelley thundered, urging students to fight back against a government he implied was betraying Lincoln’s vision of “of the people, by the people, for the people.”

Moran, now unshackled from ABC’s leash, said Pelley’s words filled him with “joy” and a sense of purpose to join the resistance.

Owning the X Post That Ended It All

Moran’s June 8 X post, labeling Trump and Stephen Miller “world-class haters,” was the match that burned his ABC career to the ground. He doesn’t regret it.

“This, while very hot, is an observation, a description that is accurate and true,” he told Miller, defending his choice of “strong language” to call out Trump’s “venom and lies” that “debase” public discourse.

The post, since deleted, led to a swift suspension and then a pink slip from ABC, where he’d toiled since 1997. Reflecting on the fallout, Moran stood firm:

“I thought about it in my own conscience first. And I thought, as I tell you, I wrote it because I thought it was true. And at the end of the day, when all the bad stuff has happened, my children will know that whatever it means, it means that.” For Moran, the cost of speaking out was steep, but the truth was worth it.

Politicians should show some class. But not all of them always do.

Now a Democrat was caught on camera engaging in this disgusting act.

Lawmaker’s Reckless Post Fuels Outrage Over Political Violence

North Carolina State Rep. Julie von Haefen, a Democrat, ignited a firestorm by sharing a video on X from a Raleigh “No Kings” protest, featuring a grotesque image of a guillotine sign with what appeared to be President Donald Trump’s severed head adorned with a powdered wig, alongside another head marked with a swastika.

The post, which many viewed as glorifying violence, drew sharp condemnation, especially as American taxpayers fund the salaries of lawmakers expected to uphold civility, not inflame division.

“Political violence is not okay — the Left should stop encouraging it,” Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC) declared, echoing the sentiments of those appalled by von Haefen’s decision to amplify such imagery.

The Libs of TikTok account on X flagged the post as “sick,” tagging the FBI, prompting von Haefen to delete her X account and repost an edited version of the video on Facebook, omitting the offensive image.

Critics argue that taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for elected officials who promote such inflammatory content, especially in a climate already scarred by political violence.

Von Haefen’s Backpedaling Amid Bipartisan Condemnation

Facing backlash, von Haefen issued a statement claiming, “Yesterday, I posted a video on social media containing crowd photos from the No Kings protest in Raleigh. One of the images of a protestor holding a sign was inappropriate, and I later edited the video to remove the photo.”

She referenced the tragic Minnesota shootings, where House Democrat leader Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, adding, “Let me be clear: I condemn political violence in all forms.”

Yet, her initial decision to share the image—especially after two assassination attempts on Trump in 2024—has been slammed as tone-deaf and irresponsible.

“Her disgraceful behavior fails to meet the standards expected from House members and sets a dangerous precedent in an already volatile political climate,” said North Carolina House Speaker Destin Hall, who is exploring legal measures to address von Haefen’s actions.

The North Carolina GOP demanded her resignation, arguing that taxpayers deserve representatives who unite rather than divide. Von Haefen’s post, seen as endorsing violent imagery, has fueled calls for accountability, with critics noting that public funds should not support lawmakers who exacerbate tensions.

A Pattern of Provocation in a Taxpayer-Funded Arena

The controversy recalls comedian Kathy Griffin’s 2017 stunt, where she posed with a mock severed Trump head, sparking widespread outrage.

Von Haefen’s actions, coming from an elected official, carry even graver weight, especially as taxpayers fund the platform she misused. With political violence escalating—evidenced by the Minnesota tragedy and Trump’s near-assassinations—her post is seen as a betrayal of public trust.

“My focus remains on bringing people together and fighting for the values that matter to North Carolinians,” von Haefen claimed, but her critics argue that sharing such imagery undermines that goal and squanders taxpayer resources on divisive politics.

As Hall considers “next steps” to ensure such behavior isn’t repeated, the incident underscores a broader demand: elected officials, sustained by taxpayer dollars, must reject extremism and foster unity, not amplify dangerous rhetoric in an already polarized nation.

The United States hasn’t fought a major war in years. But that could change now.

Because the US Senate convened as the threat of war hit a critical level.

Congress Scrutinizes U.S. Role in Israel-Iran Conflict

As tensions flare between Israel and Iran, Capitol Hill is bracing for a heated debate on America’s involvement, with lawmakers demanding clarity on the extent of U.S. engagement and its implications for American taxpayers.

With the Senate reconvening after a weekend of missile strikes that began Thursday, bipartisan voices are pressing the Trump administration for answers on whether the U.S. is merely supporting Israel or risking deeper entanglement, potentially funding a conflict that could spiral without taxpayer consent.

“Bipartisan lawmakers have begun demanding answers from the administration about just ‘how involved’ the U.S. is in the strikes and the risks it poses for the nation,” sources note, as Congress seeks to ensure American resources aren’t dragged into another foreign war without oversight.

Lawmakers are wary of betraying President Trump’s “America First” pledge, which resonated with MAGA voters by promising to avoid costly overseas conflicts.

The deployment of U.S. refueling tankers to Europe, positioning them closer to the conflict zone, raises questions about whether taxpayers are indirectly footing the bill for a war they didn’t approve.

Balancing MAGA Principles with Support for Israel

President Trump’s handling of the crisis has garnered bipartisan support, but fault lines are emerging. Many MAGA supporters back Israel, yet they question how far U.S. involvement—both military and financial—should extend.

“Firstly, Trump campaigned on a platform of keeping the U.S. out of foreign entanglements. That pledge enthralled much of the MAGA base,” observers note, highlighting the tension between supporting an ally and preserving taxpayer resources for domestic priorities.

“Is the U.S. merely supporting Israel? Or is the U.S. more involved? And if that’s the case, at what point does Congress step in?” lawmakers are asking, emphasizing that any escalation must align with constitutional checks requiring congressional approval for war.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) has introduced a war powers resolution to force a Senate debate and vote before any U.S. military action against Iran, ensuring taxpayers aren’t funding an unauthorized conflict. This move underscores the need to protect American resources from being siphoned into a potentially endless war.

Risks of Escalation and Taxpayer-Funded Consequences

Concerns are mounting that U.S. involvement could provoke retaliation, endangering American lives and assets.

“Moreover, there is concern that U.S. action could spark the risk of domestic terrorism in the U.S. – or strikes against American military and diplomatic assets overseas,” with soft targets like tourist hotspots also at risk. GOP lawmakers have warned Iran against retaliation, signaling that any attack would trigger a forceful U.S. response, potentially escalating costs to taxpayers.

“It is said you can’t be a little bit pregnant. But you can be a little bit at war,” sources quip, capturing the murky line between limited support and full-scale conflict.

Congress is now tasked with determining whether even limited U.S. involvement constitutes war, and whether American taxpayers should bear the financial burden of a conflict that could expand without their consent.

Kaine’s resolution aims to ensure that any escalation—military or financial—requires transparent congressional approval, safeguarding taxpayer dollars from funding a war that could spiral out of control.

The mainstream media has always had a strained relationship with the truth. At times, it’s as if they are just doing the bidding of Democrats.

And now CNN and MSNBC are totally embarrassed after being caught in a massive lie.

Media Missteps: CNN and MSNBC Downplay Anti-ICE Violence

CNN and MSNBC have faced sharp criticism for repeatedly labeling anti-ICE protests and riots across the U.S. as “mostly peaceful,” despite clear evidence of widespread unrest, according to a Media Research Center (MRC) study.

The networks’ insistence on this narrative, with 211 claims between June 7-11, glosses over violent incidents, including flash mob-style looting in Los Angeles, arson of police vehicles in New York City, and a car plowing through demonstrators in Chicago.

“No reporter acknowledged any link between the peaceful and violent elements of the crowds. The rioters were exclusively framed as ‘rogue actors,’ or ‘lone wolves,’ and there was never any assertion that they might share common cause with the more peaceful individuals,” said MRC’s Bill D’Agostino, who noted CNN’s 123 claims and MSNBC’s 88 overshadowed the reality of businesses boarding up and law enforcement making mass arrests.

Selective Reporting Ignores Escalating Chaos

The MRC study revealed that CNN and MSNBC consistently minimized the violence in cities like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Washington, North Carolina, Missouri, Texas, Indiana, Colorado, and Georgia, where anti-ICE protests turned destructive.

Videos and photos of torched police vehicles, vandalized businesses, and clashes with law enforcement flooded the internet, yet the networks stuck to their “mostly peaceful” mantra.

D’Agostino pointed out that only CNN’s Jake Tapper, on June 7, briefly referred to the Los Angeles chaos as a “riot.”

The networks’ refusal to connect the violent acts to the broader protests, instead blaming nebulous “rogue actors,” has drawn accusations of bias, particularly as they failed to note that the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines was targeted solely at the violent elements, not peaceful demonstrators.

National Guard and Marines Deployed Amid Media Silence

While CNN and MSNBC emphasized the “peaceful” nature of the protests, they largely ignored the necessity of federal intervention to curb the escalating violence.

“There was also no instance in which a reporter acknowledged that the National Guard and Marines had been mobilized exclusively to address the violent elements of the crowd,” D’Agostino observed, highlighting how the networks criticized the use of military force against “peaceful protesters” without acknowledging the context of looting, vandalism, and attacks on police.

This selective framing, coupled with the networks’ reluctance to label the unrest as riots, has fueled perceptions that CNN and MSNBC are more focused on pushing a narrative than reporting the full scope of the disorder, which has disrupted communities and strained law enforcement resources nationwide.

The Left doesn’t even try to hide it’s disdain for our country. Now they’re outright helping our enemies.

And a Democrat Governor handed the Chinese Communist Party this gift on a silver platter.

Hobbs’s Vetoes Spark Outrage Over Arizona’s China Policy

Governor Katie Hobbs is under fire from Republican lawmakers and national security advocates for repeatedly vetoing legislation aimed at countering Chinese influence in Arizona, most notably her rejection last week of a bill banning land purchases by entities tied to the Chinese government.

Facing fierce criticism, Hobbs introduced a revised version of the bill this week, expanding it to include other foreign adversaries and scrapping a provision that would have allowed Chinese entities to acquire property under certain conditions for three years.

Critics argue this is a calculated move to dodge accusations of being soft on China, especially since she vetoed another China-focused bill last month, for the second year in a row, which would have barred Arizona’s healthcare and research institutions from using genetic sequencing equipment and software from Chinese genomics firms like BGI Genomics, blacklisted by the Pentagon and Commerce Department for ties to Beijing’s military and human rights abuses.

“This bill is unnecessary,” Hobbs wrote in a brief May 2 veto letter, offering no further reasoning.

Critics Slam Hobbs for Leaving Arizona Vulnerable

The vetoes have drawn sharp rebukes, with Michael Lucci, founder of State Armor, criticizing Hobbs for blocking Rep. Leo Biasiucci’s efforts to protect Arizonans’ genomic data from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“Rep. Leo Biasiucci worked hard to make Arizona the first state to protect its citizens’ genomic data from the CCP in 2024, but Governor Hobbs vetoed his bill,” Lucci told National Review, adding that nine other states—Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Florida, Tennessee, Idaho, and soon Louisiana—have adopted similar measures with bipartisan support.

Lucci warned that Hobbs’s vetoes leave “Arizonan DNA exposed to a blacklisted CCP military company tied to genocide and involved in building genetically targeted weapons to harm Americans.”

Concerns are heightened by BGI’s reported ties to the People’s Liberation Army and experiments on minority groups, with figures like Sen. Tom Cotton and former Rep. Mike Gallagher flagging risks to national security, including potential bioweapons development.

Pattern of Vetoes and a Partial Reversal

Hobbs’s vetoes extend beyond genomics, as she also rejected bills this session banning Chinese-manufactured telecommunications technology and further restricting land purchases by CCP-linked entities.

She argued the telecom bill’s “broad language would create undue difficulty for the business community and generate costs to taxpayers” and cautioned that the land purchase bill could lead to “arbitrary enforcement.”

Lucci called her record unmatched, stating, “She has vetoed more legislation that would protect her state against the CCP than any other governor in the country,” noting some vetoes coincided with FBI arrests of CCP scientists for bioweapon-related activities.

In a rare shift, Hobbs signed the Arizona End Organ Harvesting Act last month, barring insurers from covering transplants involving Chinese organs, after vetoing it the previous year.

However, her office has not responded to National Review’s requests for comment, and her consistent rejection of other anti-China measures continues to fuel criticism that she is undermining Arizona’s security.

The Left can usually keep each other in line. But sometimes someone makes a mad dash.

And now a leading Democrat Senator broke ranks with his party to do the unthinkable.

U.S. Lawmakers Rally Behind Israel’s Strike on Iran

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., voiced unwavering backing for Israel’s military action against Iran, urging the U.S. to supply its ally with all necessary resources.

“Our commitment to Israel must be absolute and I fully support this attack. Keep wiping out Iranian leadership and the nuclear personnel.

We must provide whatever is necessary—military, intelligence, weaponry—to fully back Israel in striking Iran,” Fetterman declared in a Thursday night X post, which was amplified by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed this sentiment, proclaiming, “Israel IS right—and has a right—to defend itself!” in a separate post shared by the ministry.

Calls for Decisive U.S. Action if Iran Retaliates

Sen. Lindsey Graham issued a bold warning to Iran, advocating for a crushing U.S. response should the nation target American interests.

“People are wondering if Iran will attack American military personnel or interests throughout the region because of Israel’s attack on Iran’s leadership and nuclear facilities,” Graham stated in an X post Thursday night.

“My answer is if they do, America should have an overwhelming response, destroying all of Iran’s oil refineries and oil infrastructure putting the ayatollah and his henchmen out of the oil business.”

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that the U.S. was “not involved in strikes against Iran” but cautioned Iran against targeting U.S. personnel or interests.

Trump Pushes for Iran to Strike a Nuclear Deal

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Friday morning, pressing Iran to negotiate a nuclear deal to avoid further escalation.

“I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!” Trump wrote.

He warned of escalating “death and destruction” but urged Iran to act swiftly:

“Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!”

Musk has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. And this is the nail in the coffin.

Because his face went white after receiving a devastating test result.

Trump’s Graceful Response to Musk’s Apology

The fiery public spat between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, appears to be cooling, with signs of reconciliation emerging after Musk’s apology for his earlier attacks.

Musk, who served as a special White House advisor leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), admitted on X Wednesday, “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.”

Trump, demonstrating his characteristic magnanimity, brushed off the feud in a New York Post podcast interview, stating, “Things like that happen. I don’t blame him for anything.”

Later, when pressed by reporters, the president downplayed the issue, saying, “I really haven’t thought too much about it,” showcasing his focus on governing over personal disputes. This olive branch highlights Trump’s ability to rise above conflict and maintain alliances critical to his administration’s bold agenda.

The feud erupted after Musk criticized Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” calling it a “disgusting abomination” that risked unsustainable debt.

Musk’s inflammatory remarks, including an unsubstantiated claim about Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, briefly strained their once-close partnership.

Yet, Trump’s measured response and Musk’s retraction signal a mutual desire to move forward, reinforcing the president’s knack for fostering unity among key supporters.

Musk’s GOP Support Softens but Remains Strong

A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows that Musk’s standing among Republicans has taken a hit, with 62% holding a favorable opinion, down from 78% in March.

Among all voters, only 30% view Musk favorably, with 57% unfavorable, a six-point drop from March.

Critics attribute this decline to Musk’s recent attacks on Trump, including his claim that Trump owed his 2024 election victory to Musk’s support, which included nearly $300 million donated through America PAC. However, the poll also reveals strong Republican approval of Musk’s DOGE tenure, with 80% rating his work as excellent or good, compared to just 13% who viewed it negatively.

“Though Musk isn’t as popular with Republicans as he once was, he and DOGE get a hearty high five from a healthy majority of Republicans,” said Quinnipiac analyst Tim Malloy.

Musk’s ambitious goal to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget fell short, but his efforts at DOGE earned praise from Trump and GOP loyalists for challenging bureaucratic excess.

The poll, conducted June 5-9 with 1,265 registered voters and a ±2.8% margin of error, underscores that despite the feud, Musk retains significant goodwill among Trump’s base, thanks to the president’s leadership in aligning visionaries like Musk with his administration’s goals.

A Partnership Poised for Renewal

Musk’s early support for Trump was pivotal, from his July endorsement after the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt to his role as the 2024 election cycle’s top donor. Trump rewarded Musk’s loyalty by appointing him to lead DOGE, where the billionaire pushed for sweeping government reforms.

The recent clash, sparked by Musk’s criticism of the spending bill, briefly tested their alliance, with Trump calling Musk “crazy” and Musk escalating with baseless Epstein claims.

Yet, Musk’s apology and Trump’s gracious response suggest both men are ready to mend fences, a testament to Trump’s ability to maintain strategic partnerships despite disagreements.

As the dust settles, the Quinnipiac poll indicates that Musk’s influence within the GOP remains robust, bolstered by Trump’s leadership and the party’s appreciation for DOGE’s mission.

With Trump focused on advancing his transformative agenda, the reconciliation with Musk could pave the way for renewed collaboration, ensuring that their shared vision for a leaner, stronger government continues to drive progress.

Los Angeles is on fire. But Trump isn’t taking any guff from the rioters.

Now a shocking video of an ICE arrest put Democrats on notice.

Swift Federal Action Targets LA Rioter

A dramatic video released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday captured federal agents ramming a suspect’s car in Los Angeles to apprehend Christian Damian Cerno-Camacho, a “violent rioter” accused of punching a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer.

Shared on X amid escalating riots in the city, the footage underscores the Trump administration’s aggressive response to unrest sparked by its deportation crackdown.

“This was no hit-and-run. This was a targeted arrest of a violent rioter who punched a CBP officer,” Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, emphasizing the deliberate nature of the operation.

Critics of local leadership argue the incident highlights the necessity of federal intervention in a city where Mayor Karen Bass has struggled to contain chaos.

The video shows two unmarked SUVs boxing in Cerno-Camacho’s white sedan on a city street, with agents in tactical gear swiftly exiting their vehicles, guns drawn. The suspect emerged with his arms raised, quickly cuffed, and taken into custody, demonstrating the precision and resolve of federal forces in addressing threats to public safety.

Context of Escalating Unrest in Los Angeles

The arrest follows a weekend of violent protests in Los Angeles, triggered by President Trump’s intensified immigration enforcement operations. The riots, which saw vandalism, attacks on police, and widespread disorder, prompted Trump to deploy 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 U.S. Marines to restore order.

The DHS clarified that Cerno-Camacho’s arrest stemmed from his assault on a CBP officer, with McLaughlin noting, “When Homeland Security Investigations tried to arrest Christian Damian Cerno-Camacho for the assault, he attempted to flee.”

While it remains unclear when the arrest occurred or the specific charges filed, the operation reflects the administration’s zero-tolerance stance toward those inciting violence during the unrest.

The New York Post sought comment from DHS but received no immediate response, leaving some details of the incident pending. The targeted nature of the arrest, however, signals a broader federal effort to crack down on individuals exploiting the protests to commit violent acts, particularly against law enforcement.

Bass’s Leadership Under Fire

The federal response stands in stark contrast to Mayor Karen Bass’s handling of the riots, which critics argue has been inadequate and overly sympathetic to protesters.

Bass has publicly blamed Trump’s deportation policies for inciting the violence, deflecting attention from her administration’s failure to prevent the riots from escalating.

The arrest of Cerno-Camacho, a clear example of a violent offender targeted by federal agents, undermines Bass’s narrative that the protests are merely a reaction to federal overreach. Instead, it highlights the presence of agitators willing to assault officers, justifying the deployment of National Guard and Marine forces to restore calm.

As Los Angeles grapples with ongoing tensions, the DHS’s firm action against individuals like Cerno-Camacho reinforces the administration’s commitment to upholding law and order.

Critics contend that Bass’s reluctance to support federal efforts and her focus on critiquing immigration policy have left the city vulnerable, necessitating decisive federal intervention to protect residents and law enforcement alike.
