In a remarkable development that could signal a turning point in the war in Eastern Europe, President Donald Trump revealed Monday that he held a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and what came out of it could reshape the future of the region. “Just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia,” Trump announced on Truth Social. “I believe it went very well.” According to Trump, the call wasn’t just diplomatic pleasantries — it led to a major breakthrough. “Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War,” Trump said.

A California building owner confronted the homeless encampments in downtown Los Angeles with an unusual musical deterrent.
While other businesses have taken to blasting loud music in front of their stores to prevent the homeless population from taking up space, one building owner turned to a repeat dose of playing Pinkfong’s “Baby Shark” through loudspeakers. [Tweet, video]
Tracy, a woman who lives in the encampment next door to the building, was not amused.
“They played ‘Baby Shark’ all night long,” Tracy, a woman who lives in an encampment next door to the building at the corner of West 11th and Main streets, told NBC4 Los Angeles.
Ice cream trucks may seem like a relic of times past, but one New Jersey startup is bringing them back with a modern twist.
Many nostalgic memories were made chasing after an ice cream truck. The happy jingle alerted neighborhood kids to its presence, and you enjoyed a cold, sweet treat with your buddies on the porch before returning to play. It was truly the quintessential mark of summer, but somewhere along the way, the ice cream truck lost its luster.
But Scream Truck is looking to bring back all the fun and delights of the ice cream truck,
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a Guatemalan illegal alien for submitting false statements to become a sponsor for two unaccompanied alien children. Among other things, the man submitted an “obviously photoshopped” photo to help establish a familial relationship to one of the boys.
ICE agents filed a criminal complaint in the District of New Jersey against Luciano Tinuar Quino for submitting false statements to gain custody of two unaccompanied alien children who illegally entered the U.S. in 2022. According to a statement from ICE officials, Tinuar Quino managed to gain custody of one of the children from the Biden administration’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).

Former FBI Director James Comey said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he did not regret his “86 47” social media post because it was “clever” and an artistic political point of view that he admired.
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “Take me back to the walk on the beach.”
Comey said, “We were walking on the beach. We went to the beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch of my book and to think about the book and to prepare to answer questions about it. And we were walking back towards the road and we saw in the sand someone had arranged shells with numbers.
MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Monday on “Deadline” that American voters were “not smart enough” to keep President Donald Trump away from the presidency.
McCaskill said, “There’s a huge swath of Americans that don’t know about that because their algorithms are purposely not feeding them politics because they don’t want to hear about it. But you know what they’re all going to know about? They’re all going to know about higher prices. They’re all going to know that they’re spending more at Walmart than they spent this time last year. They’re all going to know that their 401Ks are down. They’re all going to know that.

Has Done More” to Find Cures for Cancer

In a statement released Sunday evening in response to Joe Biden’s cancer announcement, former President Barack Obama absurdly claimed Joe Biden has done the most work to find treatments for cancer.
On Sunday, it was reported that 82-year-old Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer. (Snip) “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” the statement said.
“Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge

In the immediate aftermath of the Sunday announcement from former President Joe Biden's personal office that he had been diagnosed with "prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," the thoughts and prayers that poured in were followed by questions about his diagnosis. (Snip) Vice President JD Vance, however, had a much different take when asked about the subject Monday. After saying "Hopefully, he makes the right recovery," here were Vance's thoughts on the appropriateness of asking questions now:
"Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future,
I reported how Pope Leo XIV greeted Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the Pope's inaugural Mass on Sunday. It was also interesting to see the Pope's brother sitting right next to Vance and his wife in the American delegation during the mass. (Snip) It turns out that the media's spin was even worse than one might think when pictures and video came out on Monday of the private meeting that Vance had with Pope Leo. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was also in the meeting.
We have all made mistakes. We have all found ourselves, for whatever reason, in the wrong place at the wrong time. All Americans want justice for those who have committed serious crimes, and, as the old saying goes, they must "do the time." But what happens when circumstances come together to create the perfect storm, and you find yourself facing life in prison? That's what happened to Alice Marie Johnson. However, thanks to President Donald Trump, Alice received a second chance at life, and now, a new position in the White House as part of that chance. [Tweet]
I am thankful for the support of my family
The federal government will pay the family of Ashli Babbitt $5 million for her wrongful death at the hands of a police officer during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol Building.
This comes after the news broke that the White House had reached an undisclosed settlement as a result of a lawsuit the family filed against the federal government in 2024. Under the Biden administration, the government was fighting the suit, but this was reversed after President Donald Trump took office.
From The Washington Post:
Two people briefed on the matter said the Justice Department has agreed in principle to pay just under $5 million to Babbitt’s family,
They told us he was fine. Fit. Focused. Capable of leading the most powerful nation on Earth for four more years. Now we learn Joe Biden is battling metastatic, high-grade prostate cancer—discovered just months after the White House and its media lapdogs paraded around his “vigorous good health” like it was gospel truth. The real story? We were lied to. Again.
Let’s start with what the public was told. In February 2023, the White House released a medical summary from Walter Reed Medical Center declaring President Biden “a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male.” The document noted minor ailments—sleep apnea, acid reflux, and peripheral neuropathy in the feet
Like clockwork, operation You Can't Say That; Joe Has Cancer! got underway in earnest Monday morning. It started earlier than I would have predicted.
As Scott writes nearby, David Axelrod set the tone for the rest of the mockingbird mediacrats, and since then, there's been a flurry of "I can't believe he said that" responses to smart people who question how long the Bidens have been keeping the cancer diagnosis under wraps.
Few believe the prostate cancer was a bolt out of the blue. This likely had been festering for quite a while, as this prostate cancer specialist explained on NewsNation.

Although the event occurred earlier in the month, video of Hillary Clinton’s appearance at a Newmark Civic Life Series talk at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan is hitting the internet and going viral. The former first lady thinks the importance of having children is overrated and that a renewed focus on family life would somehow be going “backward.”
Her voice drips with contempt as she talks about President Trump, Elon Musk and Vice President JD Vance extolling the virtues of big families and having babies. It’s truly appalling stuff:

Joe Biden Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that is “characterized by a Gleason score of 9,” his office revealed in a statement Sunday.
(Snip) “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the press release said. “On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone. While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”
“The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,” the statement added.

Host Jake Tapper said, “With what we’ve seen from President Biden both in that audio, but also throughout 2023, 2024, especially on the debate stage do you think that Joe Biden really would have been able to perform as president all the way through January 2029, when he would have been when he would be 86?”
Clyburn said, “Yes. I thought that back then. I still think that, but I don’t know that.

First, my sympathies for the Biden family. I’ve been there.
Now, here’s my puzzlement. Prostate cancer is notoriously slow-growing. Although prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths among men (second to only lung cancer), that’s not because it’s so deadly, but because it’s so common. It’s a fact that more men die with prostate cancer than of it.
Of those who die, the typical mechanism of death is by the cancer cells metastasizing to other organs and/or to the bones. It takes years for that to happen – typically something like 5-10 years even without treatment, and even longer with treatment.
Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer
Biden was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," his office said.
Prostate cancers are given a score called a Gleason score that measures, on a scale of 1 to 10, how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden’s office said his score was 9 ...
During an appearance on FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino discussed the details surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

According to a new report from the Los Angeles Times, Kamala Harris will spend her summer deciding between three options for her political future.
The first and most obvious option would be to retire from politics, which seems unlikely given her ego. Harris’s second option is a third attempt at running for president. According to the report, the third option is a run for California governor.
The report states, “According to several who’ve spoken with Harris, she is genuinely undecided, torn between concern and affection for her home state and an undimmed desire to be president.”
Honest Abe. Old Hickory. Tippecanoe (and Tyler too). Silent Cal. The Gipper.
Been some iconic nicknames for U.S. presidents.
Should Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ever reach the big-boy seat in the Oval Office, he should probably invest in a better nickname, because his current one doesn’t exactly convey an inspirational sense of wisdom, majesty, courage, or purpose.
I looked it up: There were roughly 300 news articles — from mainstream, legitimate news outlets — that referred to Tim Walz as “Tampon Tim.”
Those outlets included NPR, Time Magazine, CBS News, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, People Magazine, Bloomberg, The Daily Beast, HuffPost, The Washington Post, USA Today, TMZ,

Former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke said former President Joe Biden “failed this country” by seeking reelection in 2024.
Speaking on the Pod Save America podcast, O’Rourke said, “We might very well lose the greatest country that this world has ever known,” he said, blasting Biden for clinging to power and ignoring widespread voter dissatisfaction. “It’s not just you and me, but our kids and grandkids… who might have to pay the price for this.”
