Karoline Leavitt Branded ‘Liar’ as She Shares ‘Delusional’ Trump Approval Poll

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By AOL. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced accusations of dishonesty after posting about Donald Trump’s approval ratings on social media.

Recent months have brought unfavorable polling numbers for President Trump, with multiple surveys indicating his approval has dropped to historic lows. Earlier this week, even Fox News, a network typically favorable to the 80-year-old, broadcast a segment highlighting widespread American dissatisfaction with Trump’s performance.

The Fox News survey, conducted among 1,002 registered voters, revealed that 68% of Americans disapproved of his performance, with just 31% approving. The news follows Donald Trump giving a brutal nickname to a Fox News host after turning on him.

A separate CNN poll found that the US electorate “disapproved of him a month ago and they still disapprove of him.”

This follows predictions from an analyst who forecasted a specific date Trump might resign from the presidency due to a “lethal” challenge. (Read more from “Karoline Leavitt Branded ‘Liar’ as She Shares ‘Delusional’ Trump Approval Poll” HERE)

Ahead of midterms, Trump approval hits new low in latest polls

By USA Today. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the economy and U.S. involvement in Iran continue to hit President Donald Trump hard when it comes to his approval rating.

According to a recent American Research Group poll, just 30% of Americans approve of the president’s job performance, a new low for Trump.

The survey, conducted June 16–20 among 1,100 respondents (plus or minus 3 percentage points), found 66% disapprove of Trump, the highest disapproval and lowest approval ever recorded by the pollster during either of his presidencies.

Among those who disapprove of Trump, economic pessimism is widespread: 82% say they expect conditions to worsen over the next year, according to the poll.

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissed the findings in a statement to USA TODAY, pointing instead to Trump’s 2024 reelection victory as the “ultimate poll.” (Read more from “Ahead of midterms, Trump approval hits new low in latest polls” HERE)

Trump, Lutnick’s Sons Stand to Gain Big Profits from Billion-Dollar Mining Deal: Report

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. The sons of President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stand to see a big windfall after businesses tied to the families helped secure a $1.6 billion mining deal in Kazakhstan, according to a new report.

After Trump and Lutnick closed a deal for an American company called Kaz Resources to mine one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten last November, records indicate that firms tied to their sons saw financial gain from the contract, the New York Times reported.

Dominari Securities — which is housed at Trump Tower in New York and partly owned by the president’s two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — had joined other investors to take a 20% stake in a company related to the project.

At the same time, Cantor Fitzgerald — an investment company controlled by Lutnick’s family and overseen by his sons Brandon and Kyle Lutnick — helped one of the investors working with Dominari raise $210 million in new capital.

The dealings have raised questions about the Trump and Lutnick families’ financial gains under deals struck during the president’s second term. . .

During the negotiations, Lutnick pushed Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to give the mining contract to Kaz Resources executive chairman Pini Althaus and his backers, writing in a letter that the Trump administration “fully supports” the company.

Trump Admin Inner Circle Secretly Trash His Sons’ Latest Grift

By The Daily Beast. Donald Trump’s sons’ financial ties to a major mining project backed by their father’s administration have apparently rankled even some within the president’s inner circle. . .

Trump administration officials involved in the deal told The Times, speaking anonymously, that they were disappointed by the involvement of the Trump family—as well as the family of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick—in projects the government itself is helping to finance.

In September, Lutnick, 64, and Trump, 80, negotiated an agreement with Kazakhstan’s president granting a small U.S. mining company, Kaz Resources, access to Kazakhstan’s tungsten reserves, alongside approval for more than $1 billion in preliminary federal financing applications. . .

Within weeks of the September negotiations, Dominari Securities—a firm based in Trump Tower and partly owned by Don Jr. and Eric—joined with other partners to take a 20 percent stake in the mining project, The Times reports.

Around the same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the investment firm overseen by the commerce secretary’s sons, Kyle and Brandon Lutnick, helped raise $210 million for one of the lead investors working with Dominari Securities on the deal, a type of transaction that typically generates millions of dollars in fees for the firm.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Officials charged a 10-year-old Missouri boy with murder after he allegedly shot a 7-month-old baby in the head execution-style June 26, according to a report.

St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) officers responded to the incident just after 4:00 p.m. and found the baby, identified as 7-month-old Kiyomi Parker, within the residence, according to an SLMPD press release. The baby died from her wounds. Homicide Detectives and Child Abuse Detectives later opened an investigation into the incident and learned that an unidentified 10-year-old boy shot the child, the SLMPD alleged. Witnesses said the 10-year-old retrieved a gun and shot the infant, according to court documents cited by First Alert 4. The boy confessed that he shot baby in the head, WTHR13 reported, citing a probable cause statement.

Officers transported Parker to a local hospital in a patrol SUV and administered emergency aid, the SLMPD said. The child was declared dead at the hospital, police said, First Alert 4 reported.

Officers allegedly learned that Ca’Marion Pawnell, the baby’s father, stored a gun beneath a mattress in one of the residence’s bedroooms by interviewing witnesses, including the 10-year-old. The minor confessed that he was aware of where the firearm was and had retrieved it before, according to the court documents.

Pawnell, 19, allegedly confirmed the gun belonged to him and he had placed it beneath the mattress. Pawnell has been charged with one count of second-degree felony murder, one count of endangering the welfare of a child resulting in death, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child creating substantial risk, according to court documents. He remains held without bond, First Alert 4 reported. (Read more from “REPORT: 10-Year-Old Accused Of Shooting Baby In Head Execution-Style” HERE)

Thomas Massie Turns the Camera On Fox Reporter in Wild Confrontation: ‘Is This What You DO for a Living?!’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) erupted on a reporter for Fox News Digital and turned the camera on him in a truly wild confrontation.

In a bizarre on-the-street clash in Washington, reporter Nicholas A. Ballasy — on assignment for Fox News Digital — went up to Massie and asked him about various allegations from a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend. The woman, Cynthia West — a former Massie staffer — recently claimed that Massie pressured her to sign an NDA, and that he bragged about having a sexual encounter with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) just weeks after his wife’s death.

Ballasy kicked off the exchange by asking Massie if he could “clear up the stuff your ex is saying about you with the NDA. That you pressured her to sign an NDA for wrongful termination. Is that true, what she’s saying about you?”

“Who are you with?” Massie asked.

“Fox Digital,” Ballasy replied.

“It’s all false,” the congressman said.

Iran’s Strikes Did More Than $400 Million In Damage To The U.S. Fifth Fleet’s Headquarters — Damage The Pentagon Hadn’t Acknowledged

/30 Comments/in , /by

According to a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal, Iranian missiles and drones targeting the nerve center of America’s naval operations in the Middle East did extensive damage.

The U.S. Navy’s sprawling base in Bahrain, and the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet, is located only 150 miles south of the coast of Iran, and it was targeted numerous times between late February and June.

Strikes that got through caused extensive damage; the Journal’s analysis of satellite imagery and social media footage includes damage the Pentagon hasn’t publicly acknowledged.

The base’s command headquarters and at least a dozen other buildings, along with two satellite communications terminals, were heavily damaged. The Journal estimated that over $400 million in damage was caused to the base in Bahrain.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimated in a report published earlier this week that the total cost of the war was about $40 billion. That estimate included their calculation of $2.2 billion to $5.1 billion in damage to U.S. bases, based on structures that CSIS identified as damaged.

‘A Direct Assault on Christianity’: Steve Deace Sounds Alarm Over Spielberg’s New UFO Film

/0 Comments/in , /by

Conservative radio host Steve Deace is raising concerns about legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s new movie, Disclosure Day, arguing that the highly anticipated film presents a troubling message about faith and Christianity.

Speaking with CBN News, Deace described the movie as more than just a science-fiction story about aliens and government secrets. In his view, the film directly challenges core Christian beliefs and portrays faith as powerless in the face of a greater force.

“This is a direct assault on Christianity,” Deace said while discussing scenes from the movie.

According to Deace, one of the film’s central characters is a former nun who abandoned her faith. He noted that early in the story, she declares that she has “lost” her belief in God’s divinity. As the plot unfolds, the character appears to become overtaken by an alien technology or force that resembles demonic possession.

Deace pointed to a particularly dramatic scene in which the woman clutches a crucifix and prays fervently while struggling against the influence controlling her. He said the crucifix ultimately proves ineffective, with the alien force overpowering her despite her prayers.

GRAPHIC: Migrant Drenched In Blood After Bashing Neighbor’s Head In With Hammer

/0 Comments/in , /by

A North African migrant was arrested in Spain after allegedly attacking his Senegalese neighbor in the head with a hammer Thursday.

The man, an Algerian national, allegedly escalated a verbal dispute with two Senegalese men to a full-blown assault at approximately 6 p.m. local time in Torre Pacheco, La Verdad reported in Spanish. The attacker also reportedly attacked another Senegalese man by striking him in the neck with a broken bottle.

Eyewitnesses alerted informed authorities after recording the scene, according to La Gaceta. Videos showed a man drenched in blood as the victim lay motionless on the sidewalk. The suspect was later arrested by the local police and the victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where he remains in critical condition.

The incident comes less than two weeks after Spain received almost 900,000 applications from undocumented migrants looking for a path to legal citizenship.

“Every day the horror in our streets grows more indescribable,” Santiago Abascal, leader of the Spanish nationalist party Vox, said in a recent post on X. “Nothing forces us to keep coexisting with this barbarity, except the betrayal of a heartless political class determined to turn Spain into a country of predators and prey.” (Read more from “GRAPHIC: Migrant Drenched In Blood After Bashing Neighbor’s Head In With Hammer” HERE)

Missing UFO Scientist Tried to Escape Secret Pentagon Program Days Before Vanishing Without a Trace, Bombshell Memo Claims

/3 Comments/in , /by

A missing U.S. Air Force general linked to the military’s alleged research on UFOs was reportedly trying to quit his job at a government research lab before he mysteriously vanished, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland vanished from a hiking trail in Albuquerque on February 27, which experts say could be a “grave national security crisis.”

According to documents first uncovered by historian Sara Bondink, the general’s wife, Susan Wilkerson, told authorities before disappearing, the 68-year-old was suffering from a severe mental decline and was trying to resign from several of the secret projects he was working on.

At the time, McCasland was involved in high-level research for the Department of War, focusing on national security and advanced technology.

Just days before he vanished, according to a police report, McCasland flew by himself to Washington DC to officially resign from the Riverside Research facility, a nonprofit that provides scientific research, engineering, and advisory services on advanced technology projects. . .

Sources told Radar there are fears he may have been silenced to protect secrets the government is keeping – or that he was made to disappear by the very extraterrestrials he has spent a career documenting.

America’s Population of Children is Nose-Diving; Only One Region with Growth

/0 Comments/in , /by

Children’s laughter is becoming less common all across the country — after the number of kids in the US shrank by 1.8 million since 2020.

All except for one region, where school classes are still growing: The South.

The portion of Americans under 18 grew by 1.1% between 2020 and 2025, amounting to 303,969 being born or moving to region during that time.

It’s a relatively small number of children, but significant compared to trends across the country — with the national child population dropping by 2.4% during the same time, US Census Bureau data from Axios found.

The drop was more dramatic in some regions.

Western states lost 1,015,068 kids — a 5.7% decline — while the northeast’s child population declined by 4.1%. (Read more from “America’s Population of Children is Nose-Diving; Only One Region with Growth” HERE)
