"They're scum," Donald Trump declared about the regime in Tehran, while speaking at the NATO summit in Turkey. Sometimes, people have to learn the truth the hard way. And the truth that Trump has learned over the last three months is this: You don't negotiate with terrorists. Terrorists do not negotiate in good faith, and forty-seven years of dealing with the Iranian mullahs and the IRGC have proven it every single time.
Trump declared the ceasefire "over" at the same time:
Driving the news: The comments came just hours after the U.S. conducted a new round of strikes on Iran, retaliation for renewed Iranian attacks on

The U.S.-brokered interim ceasefire with Iran is now over. President Donald Trump made the declaration Wednesday, telling reporters at the NATO defence summit in Ankara, Turkey: “These are evil, sick people,” before describing Tehran’s negotiators as scum and a cancer that needs to be excised.
A clearly angry Trump further added he didn’t “want to deal with them any more” after launching overnight strikes on the totalitarian Islamic republic after it attacked commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz., as Breitbart News reported.

Rasmussen’s latest numbers are looking up a bit for Republicans. Keep in mind that this is a likely voter poll:

America's enemies have never feared our committee hearings; they fear the sound of American factories waking up.
A nation that builds its own medicine, chips, ships, steel, tools, trucks, and energy systems is harder to bully, starve, and much harder to beat.
The latest manufacturing numbers offer a reminder the country needed: the factory floor is still one of America's truest sources of power.
U.S. manufacturing slightly cooled in June, but the bigger story still holds. The Institute for Supply Management said its Manufacturing PMI registered 53.3 in June after May hit 94.0, the highest reading since May 2022. Readings above 50 show expansion, and June marked

Yesterday, Graham Platner denied allegations made by Jenny Racicot of rape, but then announced that he would take some time to mull over his options. At the time, Platner had already cancelled his upcoming events before the July 13 deadline to withdraw his nomination as the Democrat candidate for US Senate from Maine. His withdrawal from the race appeared imminent, so much so that Polymarket actually shut down the betting pool on it.
Well, it has been 24 hours since then, and ... all is quiet on the Totenkopf Front. Platner has lost almost every endorser in the race, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee announced

Now they turn on Nazi-tattooed alleged rapist Graham Platner?
After all these months of defending him and making excuses — knowing full well what a repugnant dirtbag he is?
Let’s be honest: At this late date, the accusation that Platner raped an ex-girlfriend should shock absolutely no one. And that it took so long for Dems to cut him off speaks volumes.
Indeed, the only reason they’re deserting him now is not that they’ve finally grown a moral spine; it’s that they fear his grotesque character won’t fly with normal voters.
Not only would a continued Platner campaign for Maine’s US Senate seat almost certainly fail; voters nationwide may now realize

It's on. The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has launched a wave of new attacks on Iran, following the rogue nation's attacks on commercial CENTCOM reports:
U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.
It's unclear so far just what targets in Iran were hit,shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump has reacted to the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America by sounding the alarm about communism, which greatly upset Associated Press fact-checker Melissa Goldin on Thursday because, according to her, only card-carrying members of the Communist Party USA can be called communists.
Goldin cited two Trump quotes. The first was, “It’s the biggest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, September 11th.” The second was referring to Democrats as “hard core, godless communists.”
She also lamented, “But experts say

Zohran Mamdani and his cohort are just the first.
America’s commies — spearheaded by the Democratic Socialists of America — are running the same play across the nation that they’ve run in New York.
Even in places you’d never expect, like my home in eastern Tennessee. Their latest election success came in Colorado, where Gen Z socialist Melat Kiros ousted 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Col.) in last week’s Democratic primary.
It was another win for the cadre of far-left candidates (many born outside the US) who are much more radical — and much more anti-Israel — than the Democrats they’re replacing. Kiros benefited from the DSA’s strategy of targeting low-turnout

While embattled Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner has denied the recent sexual assault allegations made against him, the prominent Democrats who pushed the accused with an alleged Nazi tattoo to win their party’s nomination will be immortalized below.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY):
As Senate Minority leader, Schumer’s endorsement of Platner was one of the most important he received. A week before the Mainer won the Democrat primary in early June, Schumer said he was the party’s best chance at beating incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).
When asked by reporters if he still supported Platner after he had been widely criticized for his Nazi chest tattoo

During an interview aired on Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Jenny Racicot, who is accusing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner of rape, said that “I really agree with his politics. I think we need somebody with those political stances and who are willing to do the work. And I see his political videos. They get me fired up as well. I understand why people want someone like him in office.” And that is one reason she was reluctant to come forward.
Host Jake Tapper asked, “There are going to be people, maybe even his campaign, certainly his supporters, who say this is politically motivated. What would you say to

Republican Lyndsey Fifield is accusing the New York Times of deliberately downplaying her abuse allegations against Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, one day after another woman came forward with sexual abuse allegations against the scandal-plagued candidate.
“The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times ‘could not corroborate’ my story despite talking to two of my friends,” Fifield said in a statement on X.
She said that the Times called two of her friends who would not have known specifically about the abuse but could confirm that she and Platner had been in a relationship.
