Dispatch From Peru—Another Conservative
Victory in Latin America

I have been in Peru for the last year studying Spanish. Of the many countries I have been to over the years, Peru is one of the very most charming. It boasts a unique cuisine, beautiful colonial architecture, and some of the nicest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet anywhere in the world. And Peru’s future is looking distinctly brighter as it appears that Keiko Fujimori will win this month’s runoff election to become Peru’s next President. She is the daughter of Alberto Fujimori, who served as President from 1990 to 2000. Fujimori, the father, was and is widely hated by the Latin American Left.

83-year-old Joe Biden was abandoned by his wife and former boss on stage at the Barack Obama Presidential Center opening ceremony in Chicago on Friday, left staring aimlessly into the crowd.
The confused Biden was left behind as Obama danced off the stage, and Jill Biden followed him, forgetting about her husband.
The Bidens were included among four former presidents and former first ladies who attended the ceremony.
Biden looked distressed as he looked out into the crowd from the podium.
He took off his sunglasses and waved before asking the crowd one strange question.
“Where’s my granddaughter?” Joe shouted as the camera panned away from him and ended its feed.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that the Democrats lost their war for slavery.
Yes, the glorious news of Republican President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation finally made its two-year trek to the great state of Texas. On June 19, 1865, U.S. Major General Gordon Granger delivered General Order No. 3 and proclaimed, in part: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” WHO IS JUNETEENTH FOR?
This freedom was made possible by whites, blacks, Asians, and Hispanics who fought for the Union.
Russia’s Crushing Energy Crisis

Welcome to today’s Morning Jolt. This is Noah Rothman with you one last time before Jim Geraghty returns on Monday.
On the menu today: Moscow is feeling the squeeze as Russia’s war of conquest in Ukraine evolves into a deadly slog on the battlefield and with Ukrainian air power increasingly bringing the war home to the Kremlin’s doorstep. But first, we hope you’ll consider contributing to NR’s “Defending America” fundraiser. If you support the work we do in championing America and its founding ideals, any contribution you can make would be immensely valuable.
With that, we turn to Russia’s torment.
Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz Friday instead of heading to Switzerland for nuclear negotiations, citing Israel’s refusal to pull forces out of southern Lebanon and US forces’ ongoing presence in the region.
In a statement read over maritime radio channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US was in violation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, which President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed Wednesday.
“Since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States,

The DSA is hoping to expand its influence in New York’s primaries next week, but it’s got a big problem: It doesn’t seem to care about the people it claims to represent.
The Democratic Socialists of America playbook is simple — and dangerous: claim to speak for minority communities, push an agenda those communities never asked for and leave them with no voice in their own neighborhoods.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in NY-13, a district of traditionally black and Hispanic neighborhoods — including most of Manhattan above 100th Street on the West Side, and above 98th Street on the East Side, plus a small part of The Bronx —
It’s now being revealed that the alleged terror plot, targeting the White House UFC fight on Sunday, was orchestrated by a Mexican illegal alien who remained in the country under Obama’s controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the alleged ringleader of the plot, Abraham Alvarez of Omaha, Nebraska, was revealed in court documents to be a noncitizen. However, his country of origin and immigration status were unclear at the time. “The conspirators allegedly planned to deploy drones armed with explosives in and around the UFC Freedom 250 event in order to force an evacuation—
When a burning cross was found at a Chicago park last week, the media and Democrats already apparently knew who was responsible.
“A large burning cross — a historic symbol of hate and intimidation against Black Americans — was discovered in a Chicago park where former President Barack Obama famously delivered his acceptance speech when he was elected the nation’s first Black president,” The Associated Press (AP) reported on June 10.Given the framing, readers may have been under the impression that police were searching for a white supremacist, a racist, and, given how the left has broadly painted Republicans as both of those things, a Republican.
The Dawn of the Modern Nationalist Age

In October 1806, in the small German university town of Jena, the philosopher G.W.F. Hegel witnessed Napoleon Bonaparte on horseback passing in the street. Napoleon’s French armies had just destroyed the Prussian military, and he was on his way to Berlin as conqueror.
Hegel said he saw history on horseback. He called Napoleon “the soul of the world,” by which he meant Napoleon was the unconscious embodiment and the manifestation of the “Spirit” of historical progress — the man Fate had chosen to usher in a new age. For Hegel, Napoleon destroyed the old age of the aristocracy and ushered in the new one of nation states.
Iran War Misconceptions

The shooting portion of the Iran “War” lasted about 40 days—far shorter than Barack Obama’s 2011 congressionally unauthorized seven-month bombing campaign against Libya.
Bill Clinton’s unauthorized 78 days of bombing Serbia in 1999 hit bridges, schools, hospitals, monuments, and power plants—far more indiscriminate targeting than anything in the Iran War so far.
No one yet knows the ultimate verdict on the war, given all the economic, military, political, and strategic variables still in play. A memorandum of understanding released this week might end the war, or result in further American strikes—depending on the degree of Iranian concessions and compliance.
But in this confusing, ongoing drama, many fabrications and distortions still circulate.
President Trump settled a $100 million lawsuit against his niece, Mary Trump, whom he accused of engaging “in an insidious plot” with The New York Times to leak confidential information for its Pulitzer Prize-winning 2018 investigation into his tax and financial records.
Both parties announced the settlement in a joint filing Tuesday, according to court documents.The parties are pleased to report that they have reached a settlement and anticipate being able to stipulate to the dismissal of this action with prejudice in the ensuing weeks, following completion of certain conditions precedent,” the letter reads.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted unanimously on Wednesday to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.5% to 3.75%, leaving borrowing costs unchanged for a fourth straight meeting.
The decision came on the final day of the June 16-17 meeting and marked the first policy vote under new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, who was appointed earlier this year. Officials also released updated economic projections showing a more hawkish outlook, with the median expectation for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026 now higher than previously forecast.

Hate Trump Too Much To Support SAVE America Act 36 replies
Senate Majority Leader John Thune admitted some Senate Republicans hate President Donald Trump too much to support the SAVE America Act, multiple sources familiar with the comments told the Daily Caller.
Thune admitted during a closed-door GOP lunch on Wednesday that some Republican senators oppose President Donald Trump so strongly that they will never vote for the SAVE America Act, regardless of the legislation’s merits, according to several sources familiar with the matter. The discussion quickly escalated into a heated exchange between Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee, the bill’s chief Senate sponsor, and several of his GOP colleagues. Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Thune both challenged Lee’s push
It's a big day for the Democrat Party - as four previous Presidents and their liberal celebrity friends descended on Chicago for the grand opening of Barack Obama's library.
The 43rd president's library hosted its opening ceremony on Thursday morning at the massive Jackson Park building in the city's south side , where Michelle Obama grew up, and where the couple settled before he entered the White House in 2009.
The campus, which officially opens its doors to the public on Friday, was flooded with prominent political figures and celebrities as a boatload of festivities kicked off to celebrate the big day. The Obamas, Bidens, Bush's and Clinton's

Tuesday, British Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, the leader of the Restore Britain party (sorry to say, at this point I think it is more accurate to look at Nigel Farage and his Reform Party as controlled opposition rather than a real choice), released a report that probably ensures that British politics won't be quite the same. His 219-page "The Rape Gang Inquiry Report" unmasks the concerted effort by British officials to cover up the systematic rape of British girls in their early teens, if that, intimidate the girls into refusing to press charges, and protect the feral Pakistani gangs who preyed on them.
An "ultra-luxury" drug and alcohol rehab center nestled in the Hollywood Hills has hired former first son Hunter Biden as an adviser and executive director of its charitable foundation, a new gig that could help the convicted felon whittle down millions of dollars in unpaid legal bills and other debts.
Peak Path Health announced Biden’s hire this week, touting his "lived experience and professional insight" from his struggles with addiction to crack, alcohol, and other substances. "The announcement comes during a meaningful milestone in Hunter Biden's personal journey, as he celebrates seven years of sobriety this month," says Peak Path.
A professional baseball team in Pennsylvania will be forfeiting a game on Thursday that was scheduled to be the team's Pride Night after players refused to wear LGBTQ-themed jerseys, the team announced.
The York Revolution of the Atlantic League, the same league where Trevor Bauer currently plays, said the decision "was not reached lightly" in announcing the forfeit to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs on Wednesday.
The team was not afraid to throw its players under the bus in a rather scathing statement, saying it was "deeply troubled and profoundly disappointed by the decisions of these few players."
"To be clear; this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision
Obama has been getting a ton of media attention this week because of the opening of his hideous presidential center. During an interview with MSNOW, he said something that was truly stunning.
Obama claimed that he rejects the belief that ‘the only true narrative of America is this one of oppression and exclusion.’
Is he for real?
His entire political career has been based on the idea that America is the land of oppression and exclusion. It’s practically his personal brand.
If you watch the video below, you’ll see how he set this up.
Trump walks Iran into a trap

And here you thought Trump was being naïve, trusting Iran to adhere to the MOU (Memo of Understanding.). It’s not a treaty or an agreement or a promise. It’s just a memo. Here is what I think Trump is doing, four steps ahead of everyone else, as usual.
Trump made a big deal out of signing the MOU publicly. Cameras, people standing around, a worldwide press event of the signing. But Trump knew, and still knows full well, that the Iranians have no intention of adhering to the memo or to any future deal. They will cheat. And when they do, Trump will be able to say,
Nearly four in ten Democrats say they are “ashamed” to be American, a new survey found.
The survey by The Economist/YouGov found just weeks before America’s 250th anniversary that 26 percent of Democrats say they are “somewhat ashamed” and 12 percent say they are “very ashamed” to be American.
Nearly twice as many Democrats reported being somewhat or very ashamed to be American compared to overall poll respondents. Out of all U.S. adult citizens polled, 12 percent say they are “somewhat ashamed” and 8 percent say they are “very ashamed.”
Still, some Democrats say they are “very proud” to be American (22 percent) or “somewhat proud” (18 percent).
Iran’s Crown Prince Warns of What’s Coming

President Donald Trump is going full speed ahead with his disastrous Iran deal, and that’s not good news for Americans, Israelis, Iranians, or anyone else. Fox News reported Wednesday that the Trump administration finally disclosed the details, which include “plans for immediate waivers on Iranian oil exports, a framework for at least $300 billion in reconstruction and economic development, and a 60-day negotiation period aimed at securing a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.”
Trump himself boosted the deal before the press on the same day, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on his right and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on his left. Trump was in a particularly jovial mood and
Trump got an inartistic deal

Donald Trump did the right thing in Iran, for a while. He buried their enriched uranium under hundreds of feet of dirt and rock. He destroyed for years their ability to enrich more of the stuff. He made a lot of headway in crimping their ballistic weapons. He showed others in and around the Persian Gulf that the Iranians are bad guys.
But then he stopped. We’d already lost, um, just about no soldiers, but there was a possibility that we might lose some. He stopped because he believed, correctly, that Americans were tired of the war.
In the left’s ongoing crusade to separate vulnerable children from the influence of their parents, Democrats in the Failed State of California are pushing a bill that would allow minor children to divorce their parents.
As you read this, keep in mind that this has nothing to do with protecting children. Quite the opposite, in fact. This is all about removing children from the protection of their families so they can be corrupted and exploited.
“The bill [AB 1967] allows any minor residing in any residential facility to file a legal application against their parents, without cause or evidence of harm,” reports the Post Millennial. “Residential facilities include
Former Vice-President Al Gore emerged out of hiding to tout his so-called ‘prescience’ regarding global warming and it quickly backfired.
On Wednesday, Gore sat down with ABC ‘News’ to reflect on the 20th anniversary of his environmental propaganda film “An Inconvenient Truth” and the current state of the planet.
As TGP readers know, Gore made a series of wild predictions about global warming in the film and in public that have not come to fruition. These included announcing in 2006 that the Arctic sea ice would completely disappear in ten years.
It’s now 2026, and plenty of Arctic ice remains.
