‘Nobody Can Be Like Us’: Trumps Praises America As ‘Glory’ Of The World, Condemns ‘Cancer’ Of Communism

/16 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump celebrated the nation’s 250th birthday Saturday night with a speech casting America as the envy of the world and warning that communism threatens its future.

Speaking to a crowd on the National Mall, Trump described the United States as a country no other could match. “For 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world, all over the world. They try and be like us. Nobody can be like us,” he said.

The president spent part of his remarks attacking the political left. “Communism is a loser, and it always will be,” Trump said. He compared the ideology to a disease that demands removal, calling it “like a cancer. You got to cut it out, you got to cut it out fast.”

The warning followed a run of primary victories by candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America, NewsNation reported. Trump did not name those candidates Saturday, though he has branded them communists before, according to Reuters.

Trump also revived his push for tighter voting rules. “We want to keep America great, and we will do so by approving the Save America Act,” he said. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register and identification to vote, but it has stalled in Congress. “You won’t have cheating on the elections anymore, it’s very simple,” Trump said.

Toddler’s Morgue Miracle after Pool Scare Leads to Possible Felony Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Arizona police have recommended felony child abuse charges against the parents of an 18-month-old boy who investigators say nearly drowned after they admitted using marijuana and failed to properly supervise him during a Super Bowl party earlier this year. The child later drew national attention after he was mistakenly declared dead before being found alive hours later in a hospital morgue. . .

Investigators say Vincent disappeared from his parents’ view during the gathering before guests found him floating face down in a backyard swimming pool. According to a police report obtained by AZFamily, both parents later admitted to smoking marijuana during the party. The report alleges Vincent’s fall into the pool went unnoticed because both parents were impaired by marijuana and/or other mind-altering substances.

After Vincent was pulled from the water, first responders transported him to Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, where a doctor pronounced him dead that evening, according to police. The case took an extraordinary turn hours later when medical personnel discovered the toddler was alive and breathing after he had already been transferred to the hospital’s morgue around 7:23 p.m., according to police. Vincent was immediately airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital for treatment.

The police report alleges responding officers and Vincent’s parents questioned whether the toddler had actually died before he was pronounced dead, saying they believed he was still showing signs of life. Hospital staff reportedly told them Vincent was exhibiting agonal breathing, an involuntary reflex that can occur near death.

According to the report, a nurse later reported detecting a pulse after the child had been pronounced dead. Detectives allege the physician who made the initial determination maintained his assessment was correct and instructed hospital staff to stop lifesaving measures despite concerns from Vincent’s parents and responding officers that the toddler still appeared to be breathing. Police did not recommend criminal charges against the physician, according to AZFamily. (Read more from “Toddler’s Morgue Miracle after Pool Scare Leads to Possible Felony Charges” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Faces Hit And Run Charge After Allegedly Smashing Into Parked Car

/0 Comments/in , /by

Paul Pelosi could face a criminal count after allegedly plowing his convertible into a parked car in California wine country and driving off.

Napa County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) deputies reached the 6700 block of Yount Street in Yountville shortly after 2:30 p.m. on July 3, answering a 911 call about a hit and run, the New York Post reported citing a press release . A witness watched a brown convertible head north, strike an empty and legally parked car, tear into its rear and shove one tire over the curb, then pause briefly before fleeing, according to the outlet.

Deputies caught up with the battered convertible a short distance away on Yountville Cross Road, where a California Highway Patrol unit had already pulled in behind it, according to NBC Bay Area. The car sat partly in the roadway with heavy damage to its front right side, and deputies identified the driver as Pelosi, 86, through his license, the outlet reported. He told them he knew he had hit something but could not say what.

Investigators cleared alcohol as a factor after a roadside breath test read 0.00, the NCSO said.

Deputies never took Pelosi into custody, a step the sheriff’s office called routine for this class of misdemeanor under state law. The department wants the Napa County District Attorney to weigh a misdemeanor count of hit and run causing property damage, and it referred Pelosi for a driving re-evaluation through the state motor vehicle agency, a move it described as common for older drivers.

How US Soccer got Folarin Balogun’s Suspension Overturned — including Trump’s Phone Call

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Folarin Balogun, the dynamic U.S. striker who’s scored a goal in each of the three matches he’s played in this World Cup, will play against Belgium in Monday’s massive Round of 16 showdown.

FIFA lifted the highly controversial one-game ban Sunday that would have prevented Balogun from playing against Belgium. He had received a straight red card for accidentally stepping on the right ankle of Bosnia-Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic in Wednesday’s Round of 32 match.

With no evidence of intent by Balogun to harm Muharemovic, and the match referee not even issuing a yellow card in real time before VAR intervened to send him off, justice was served.

The Post has learned exclusively that this justice was served after U.S. Soccer threatened legal action against FIFA for incorrectly applying its video assistant referee process.

A source with intimate knowledge of the process told The Post on Sunday that, despite FIFA’s rules that a case such as Balogun’s cannot be appealed, a group that was led by U.S. Soccer CEO JT Batson and COO Dan Helfrich fought the ruling based on VAR having been applied incorrectly.

Trump Signs 11 Pardons for Individuals ‘Persecuted’ by Biden Admin: ‘I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE’; President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon

/29 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Trump signed 11 pardons Friday, including one for the convicted former business partner of infamous lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a White House official told The Post.

Adam Kidan was sentenced to 70 months in prison in 2006 after pleading guilty to conspiracy and fraud charges related to his attempt, along with Abramoff, to purchase SunCruz Casinos for $147.5 million with a counterfeit wire transfer document.

Kidan, an entrepreneur, has since gone on to start multiple staffing companies and has become a major Republican donor.

The bulk of the pardons are for individuals convicted of tampering with emission control systems on cars and trucks, including by selling “defeat devices” and “tuners” to maximize the engine power, in violation of the Clean Air Act.

Trump had teased issuing six pardons to people convicted during the Biden administration for “fixing their car,” earlier Friday on Truth Social.

President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon

By TMZ. Donald Trump might be getting ready to break out the pardon pen again … and one name that’s apparently still floating around behind closed doors is Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Trump was expected to huddle with advisers Friday over a new batch of pardons … and CBS News reports Diddy remains one of several high-profile names POTUS has been privately considering.

One source told CBS … Diddy is not expected to be among the formal recommendations from the White House pardon team … though a White House official noted, “President Trump is the ultimate decider on any clemency related actions.”

The latest report lines up with what TMZ first told you back in October … when sources said Trump was “vacillating” on commuting Diddy’s sentence while some White House staffers were urging him not to. The White House Communications Office disputed our reporting at the time, but TMZ stood by the story. (Read more from “President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon” HERE)

Five American Inventions That Changed The World

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The United States has spent its quarter millennium of existence creating tools that reshaped the modern world.

As the country celebrates its 250th birthday, here are five tools invented within its borders that completely transformed how humanity lives. . .

The Telephone — 1876

Working from his laboratory in Boston, Massachusetts, Alexander Graham Bell changed human communication on March 7, 1876, when the U.S. Patent Office granted him Patent No. 174,465 for transmitting speech by electrical current. Three days later, he spoke the first clear sentence sent by telephone, “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you!” . . .

The Airplane — 1903

Orville and Wilbur Wright, who ran a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, achieved what inventors had chased for more than a century: powered flight controlled by a pilot. On Dec. 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted a powered flying machine he and his brother Wilbur had built off the sand at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The machine stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet during the first flight. . .

The Internet — 1969

The World Wide Web began as a U.S. defense project. On Oct. 29, 1969, researchers at UCLA sent the first message between two computers over ARPANET, a network funded by the Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency. The message traveled from UCLA to the Stanford Research Institute. The system crashed after transmitting the first two letters of “login” from one computer to the other. So, the first transmission on the internet read simply “lo.”

City Officials Raise Somali Flag After Cancelling Independence Day Fireworks

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A city in New York appears to be celebrating America’s 250th birthday differently.

Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan confirmed Tuesday that the city cancelled its Independence Day firework show, WGRZ reported Wednesday. However, some other city officials found time to celebrate Somali Independence Day, social media posts show.

Ryan’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

“The Somali flag was raised in front of Buffalo City Hall in New York State on 1 July 2026, as the local Somali community gathered to mark Somalia’s Independence Day in a ceremony promoted by a Buffalo city council member,” Somali National News Agency posted Wednesday.

Somali Independence Day is celebrated on July 1 to commemorate when the Trust Territory of Somalia broke away from Italy and united with the State of Somaliland in 1960, forming the Federal Republic of Somalia.

Awe-Struck World Cup Tourists Should Remind Us What Makes America So Great

/0 Comments/in , /by

As citizens from across the globe visit American shores for the World Cup competition, hundreds of thousands praise the United States while lambasting their media for lying. In more ways than one, they are seeing the real America for the first time: Its sights and scenery, its stores and stadiums, and most of all, its people. It has been love at first sight.

Listening to the heart-warming testimonies of foreign tourists visiting the country is edifying and unifying in a time of slanted media coverage. Europeans in particular have been fed a false narrative about America’s crime-infested culture and crass capitalist economy. The fact that these good people are believing what they see, not what they’ve heard, suggests the miracle of America is obvious to just about anyone who takes an honest look — even Americans.

But are the eyes of our friendly visitors fully open, or are they failing to see the most important realities about our country? America’s history, people, and founding principles are the realities that make everything they now love about this country possible.

The collective enthusiasm on social media hits three main topics. The first is an overall awe-struck reaction to America’s material richness, bigness, and consumer choices.

Visitors can’t get enough of our stores and restaurants, our big homes and big trucks. Even our infrastructure impresses them. All this, of course, reflects America’s great wealth. But where does that wealth and prosperity come from? (Read more from “Awe-Struck World Cup Tourists Should Remind Us What Makes America So Great” HERE)

Separatists In Country Shoot American Dead In Message To US, Group Claims

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Separatist rebels in the Papua region of Indonesia killed an American pilot and burned a civilian plane Thursday as a “message” for the U.S. and Indonesian governments, according to a spokesperson.

West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB) members shot Nicholas F. Gosselin and set fire to his plane after he landed in the Highland province of Papua Thursday, spokesperson Sebby Sambom said, according to Reuters. The group alleged that civilian pilots have been transporting Indonesian troops into the area and the attack provided “a message,” the BBC reported. The incident is the latest in a decades-long conflict between TPNPB and the Indonesian government.

“We immediately fired upon and burned the plane because it had violated the TPNPB ultimatum,” Sambom said, claiming the group had banned any flights in the area. “We are prepared to fire upon any civilian aircraft across the Land of Papua that assists Indonesian military forces in transporting troops or military logistics.”

Yusuf Sutejo, spokesman for Indonesia’s joint police-military operations in the province, said a burnt plane flown by an American pilot with seven passengers was discoverd at an airport in the Yahukimo region of Papua, according to Reuters. Sutejo did not confirm whether the rebels were responsible or the pilot was dead, but said all passengers were Papuans.

The TPNPB, a group claiming to represent West Papua’s native people, continues to fight for independence for the Papua region, a resource-rich area composed of western New Guinea and other islands. TPNPB’s attacks have increased in both frequency and fatalities recently as they have gained better weapons, Reuters reported.

State’s Rule Cracking Down On Christian Gender Counseling Runs Afoul Of Supreme Court Ruling, Group Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Wisconsin Christian counselors challenged a state rule that requires them not to offer certain therapies to gender-confused children, which might violate a March Supreme Court ruling.

In May, Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) filed suit against Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ administration on behalf of counselors Terri Koschnick and Joy Buchman. The conservative legal group argues that Wisconsin’s rule is just like a similar Colorado law the Supreme Court ruled against in March.

Just weeks earlier in Chiles v. Salazar, the Court sided 8-1 with Colorado Christian counselor Kaley Chiles, holding that the blue state’s law curtailing her work was “regulating speech based on viewpoint.” Chiles was forced by state law to affirm transgender-identifying children even if they had requested help to embrace their biological sex.

“The government shouldn’t be dictating which viewpoints are acceptable for counselors to express in private, voluntary talk therapy sessions with clients who specifically seek out their faith based advice,” WILL Deputy Counsel Rebecca Furdek told Daily Caller News Foundation.

“The Wisconsin administrative rule bans counselors from offering certain perspectives in private, voluntary talk therapy sessions with the clients who specifically seek out their faith-based advice. This amounts to viewpoint discrimination, which the U.S. Supreme Court has deemed the ‘most blatant’ type of First Amendment violation,” Furdek continued.
