On one hand, we are winning the war with Iran. This week, bombings greatly accelerated and are not likely to end without real capitulation and surrender. On the other hand, the Vice President seems to be at odds with the administration, unhappy that we are in a (winning) war and casting blame for the failure of his peace effort, which is really only Iran’s fault. On one hand, the President has declassified documents credibly showing foreign influence and interference with our elections. On the other hand, major news outlets seem determined to keep their viewers from knowing this

Investing in Kids and Country
6 replies
The Fourth of July was not only a day to celebrate our country’s independence. It marks the date of a new kind of investment account for children of citizens who are under 18 and who have Social Security account numbers. The Trump Accounts (530A accounts) are a brilliant idea. Often compared to “starter IRA accounts,” the children are the owners of the accounts, which are to be managed by a responsible adult -- guardian or parent. (Snip) Consider the genius of this program. It encourages millions of people, many of whom are not investors, to become actual stakeholders in our economy.
Terms of Agreement

I've been watching reports all Friday and Saturday, tracking reports of events in Iran. It seems to me that those who know what’s happening aren’t talking, and news outlets like Axios and Reuters, who can’t possibly have inside information, are. I disregard as unlikely the accounts of terms of any agreement which do not come from official sources.
Yes, there are some credible signs that we are reaching a critical juncture in the negotiations: The President abandoned his plans to attend his son’s wedding in Florida to return to the White House. The Vice President made an unscheduled return from Ohio to D.C.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, abruptly announced his decision to resign from Congress Monday evening amid calls for him to step aside after admitting to sexual misconduct with a staffer earlier this year.
The embattled lawmaker was facing an anticipated expulsion vote that could have occurred as early as this week.
"There is a season for everything and God has a plan for us all. When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office," Gonzales wrote on social media. "It has been my privilege to serve the great people of Texas."
A U.S. crew member who went missing when an F-15E fighter jet was shot down over a remote area of Iran was rescued by U.S. forces early Sunday morning local time, multiple U.S. officials told CBS News. The jet's pilot was rescued Friday.
"WE GOT HIM!" President Trump confirmed in a Truth Social post. "My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who (Snip) is now SAFE and SOUND!"
Tariff Decision: Setback or Boon?
9 replies
Will this week’s Supreme Court decision limit the use of tariffs as a foreign policy tool of presidents, or did it set up a firewall against future leftist chief executives while allowing this president to continue to utilize other means to the same end? Is the decision momentous or of little consequence? (Snip) All in all, not a bad week, Alysia Liu won the gold, Punch was adopted by another monkey and accepted by the troop, Trump gets his tariffs and future presidents and their executive agencies can no longer manufacture jurisdiction over matters Congress never granted them.
A Complicated Week
17 replies
The attention of those less politically minded is focused on the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy -- always fodder for the would-be Colombos and Miss Marples -- and the Olympics. Yet this week saw some victories for the administration along with some serious unfinished business. The ousted dictator Nicolás Maduro seems isolated, depressed, and devoid of funds sufficient to hire teams of lawyers to defend him. Any claims he might have for immunity seem destined to fail. The evidence establishes he was born in Colombia; his claim falls because only a native Venezuelan is entitled to hold the office of president.
I Feel the Earth Moving Under Our Feet

Events in Europe, the Middle East, and here are moving so quickly, it seems that decades of deceit, corruption and, just plain stupidity are nearing their end sooner than we could have imagined. Here’s a sample of the tremors this week which promise to undo the near past. Credible reports indicate 23,000 civilians have been murdered by the mullahs’ forces, and videos (again made public due to the extraordinary efforts of Elon Musk’s teams to work around the mullah's blackouts) reveal extraordinary brutality.
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters."
Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability."
"From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms," Martin wrote.
This Week's Underreported News
14 replies
Much of the mainstream news this week has been, in my opinion, partisan or devoted to less-than-significant matters. Does it really matter if the Trump-appointed board that saved the Kennedy Center from going to wrack and ruin has added his name to the building? Were you really surprised that Bill Clinton, not Trump, was pictured in the released Epstein files cavorting with women whose faces were blacked out because they were either minors or victims? (Snip) I think the important and underreported stories of the week, are different -- the growing fractures in the European Union and the Administration’s lowering the boom on richly rewarded migration sponsors.
Trump as Br'er Rabbit
3 replies
If you remember the wonderful Song of the South, Br'er Rabbit begs Br'er Fox not to throw him in the bramble bushes knowing, what fox doesn’t, that he’s safe there in a place where Br'er Fox will be ensnared. After the disastrous Schumer shutdown (snip) the Democrats amped up their nonsense about Trump having engaged in wrongdoing with blackmailer and procurer of underaged females Jeffrey Epstein. (snip) [T]he Democrats replayed their J6 Committee scenario. They selectively released what they obtained from the Epstein estate after they tampered with it and outright lied to accuse Trump of the opposite of what the emails showed.
To my mind the two biggest stories of the week for their domestic impact are Senator Chuck Schumer’s threatened government shutdown and the indictment of former FBI head James Comey. Neither of them bodes well for the Democrats, whose favorability ratings are already scraping bottom. Both revolve around the magic date September 30, that is, this Tuesday. If the Congress does not pass a continuing resolution this Tuesday, the government will shut down. Schumer insists that he won’t vote for a stopgap bill, something centrists in his party like Senator Jeanne Shaheen are seeking.

Do you remember Linda Sarsour? She was very active in left wing politics during Trump’s first term. She became a leader of the ‘Women’s March’ movement but was ejected after they realized that she is a raging Jew-hater. It’s part of what led to the group’s downfall.
With the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), she has returned. Her views make her a perfect fit for this radical mob.
In a recent video address to her supporters, she fantasized about replacing the Declaration of Independence with something that would better reflect the values of the left.

When will the members of the far-Left cabal learn?
New York City, as the home of the United Nations headquarters, is hosting the U.N. General Assembly in the fall. And Democratic Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed during a recent interview with a New York Times interviewer that he's holding onto a deeply-held wish and campaign promise: to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested when the world leader arrives in his city to attend it. Mamdani wasn't finished, though, admitting that he's not 100 percent sure "whether he has the legal authority" to do it, and to that end, he's still consulting with his administration's Law Department.
Netanyahu, meanwhile,
It's not often that we're able to write words of praise for ABC News' Jon Karl on the pages of RedState, but fair play to the co-host of the Sunday show This Week for actually holding a Democrat accountable for their lies.
Karl's guest on this week's show was Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and one of the topics discussed was voter ID and the SAVE America Act. Warner was there, of course, to rebut President Trump's assertions during his Thursday night speech from the White House that American elections have been compromised – and will continue to be compromised
Half a Nation of Traitors
13 replies
Democrats hate this country. They hate you if you don’t also hate this country. And they will do anything to avoid you continuing to live free in this country, up to and including murdering you, because that’s who they are. If Russia or China offered to help them seize power, they’d take the deal no matter what they asked for in return. After 250 years, one of our political parties has become infested with traitors the way an old dead tree becomes infested with termites. There is only one Democrat in the country speaking with any sense of sanity; one person who does not openly appeal to racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism,
The Mamdani administration has quietly made permanent a controversial pilot program that pays junkies cash for turning in used needles — a move critics contend will only encourage illegal drug use.
The city’s massive $126 billion budget for the new fiscal year that began July 1 includes $3 million to retain the Health Department’s Community Syringe Redemption Program, which pays the public 20 cents per syringe. [snip]
Addiction Response Resources, a nonprofit that launched a similar program in Boston in 2020, will continue to operate the Big Apple’s program through an $11.1 million contract that runs through the end of next year.
After eight nights of pounding by American forces, Iran is reeling. They've managed a few counterattacks, most notably a missile and drone attack on Jordan that cost the lives of (we now know) three American service members. But the beating they are taking is all out of proportion to what they are dishing out.
Now there's an indication that the biggest rats may be leaving this sinking ship. There are reports from an "Israeli security source," quoted in the Times of Israel, that the so-called Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may have left Iran, destination unknown.
An Israeli security source cited
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” New York City DSA Co-Chair Gustavo Gordillo said that if a private store in New York City is put out of business by one of the government-run grocery stores in the city, “then maybe they shouldn’t have been in that business in the first place.”
Host Martha MacCallum asked, “I guess the question is, how does the government become more democratized if the government takes over more of the power? So, for example, here in New York, if you have government-owned grocery stores, right? And that was what Mamdani promised, I know you were supportive of his election,

The Chinese planned to stoke Black Lives Matter riots and other social unrest in 2020, using the corporate media to launder the narrative in order to tank the election for President Donald Trump, according to documents released by the White House on Thursday.
Intelligence summaries from 2020, which were apparently hidden from the president at the time, show that the Chinese planned on “encouraging violent demonstrations and looting to increase the appearance of social unrest” ahead of the election, and to “exploit U.S. societal fissures and vulnerabilities,” in part by “alleging that White people hate Black people.”
New Labour leader Andy Burnham has claimed that nationalisation – taking Britain back to the pre-Thatcher 1970s – will cure the country’s ills. He’s in for a very nasty shock, says Tim Wallace in the Telegraph. Here’s an excerpt.
Grieving families, unable to bury their dead as gravediggers downed tools. Factories forced into a three-day week after a strike by miners. Hospitals blockaded by protesting NHS workers, ending all but emergency care.
In the minds of some, these were Britain’s glory days, the pre-Thatcher 1970s for which Andy Burnham pines.
I do not hate any groups of people because of where they come from, what their ancestors did, or anything beyond their own actions as individuals, which might then land them in a group that I hate. People who hurt others, especially children, for example. But I don't blink about hating governments, and China has been a special case in my mind for years.
On Thursday night, President Donald Trump took to (most of) the airwaves to announce some disturbing evidence regarding China and its attempts to meddle in the 2020 election.
Considering Trump and his election integrity fight, I understand him bringing it up,
New York is ranked last among U.S. states in legal protections of religious liberty, according to a new report that criticized the state's support for abortion and a lack of safeguards for religious groups.
The index, produced annually by the Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy at First Liberty Institute, ranks each state based on 20 broad legal safeguards encompassing 50 specific statutory protections.
The report's authors evaluated each state's laws to determine if they protect the "free exercise of religion" in areas such as education, employment, health care, parental rights, licensing, and conscience protections.
