Tucker Carlson Brands Trump ‘Enslaved’ and Floats Idea that Could Tear Apart MAGA for Good

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson labeled President Donald Trump as ‘enslaved’ in an interview published Wednesday and said that America needed a third political party.

Carlson was asked by the Columbia Journalism Review if he had talked to Trump since the start of the Iran war, which Carlson staunchly opposes.

‘I’m not interested in talking to him. I feel sorry for him,’ Carlson said.

‘He’s not a man in charge of his own life at this point. I feel sorry for anybody who’s enslaved, including him.’

Carlson was apparently alluding to Trump’s decision to start a war with Iran, suggesting outsized Israeli influence on the President.

Carlson has consistently insisted that Israel was the driving force behind US attacks on Iran, saying as early as March 2 that ‘this is Israel’s war. This is not the United States’s war.’ (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Brands Trump ‘Enslaved’ and Floats Idea that Could Tear Apart MAGA for Good” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Shocking video shows the moment an Army veteran was gunned down, seemingly in a petty argument over a parking spot in a Florida Walmart.

The horrific cellphone footage begins with the 62-year-old victim, Bart Diguglielmo, seemingly exchanging angry words with an unidentified woman in the parking lot of the North Lauderdale store around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to Local 10 News.

Diguglielmo slowly walks toward the woman as she backs away, with a vehicle pulling out from where they were arguing.

Suddenly, the woman pulled out a gun and shot Diguglielmo while he was still several feet away from her, with the footage showing him clutching his stomach before falling to the ground.

Diguglielmo, a New Jersey native, initially sits on the ground before he lies down and bleeds out, according to officials.

Following the shooting, the woman is seen placing the gun on top of a car while waiting for law enforcement to arrive — with witnesses reporting her screaming and crying. (Read more from “Shocking Video Shows Army Veteran Being Fatally Shot in Fight Over Walmart Parking Spot” HERE)

DOJ Vows ‘Birth Tourism’ Crackdown after Supreme Court Rules Against Trump in Birthright Citizenship Case

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Justice Department on Tuesday pledged to crack down on so-called “birth tourism” after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and US visitors.

Colin McDonald, the DOJ’s assistant attorney general for fraud enforcement, directed federal prosecutors to “zealously protect the sanctity of United States citizenship by investigating and prosecuting those who fraudulently exploit our immigration system” by traveling to the country under “false pretenses” to give birth.

“The criminal laws of the United States already prohibit conduct inherent to so many of these so-called ‘birth tourism’ schemes,” McDonald, the administration’s “fraud czar,” wrote in a memo to DOJ employees. “For example, many such schemes start with a false visa application – with lies about the purpose or duration of one’s travel to the United States.”

McDonald included three examples of birth tourism schemes the DOJ has prosecuted in recent years.

In 2024, Michael Wei Yueh Liu and Jing Dong – a husband-and-wife team – were each sentenced to 41 months in prison after being accused of running a birth tourism business that catered to Chinese nationals. Their company – “USA Happy Baby” — charged clients tens of thousands of dollars and assisted them in fraudulently obtaining US visas, according to McDonald.

MAGA Melts Down After Melania Trump Defends Supreme Court Ruling: ‘I’ve Lost Respect’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

MAGA followers were livid after first lady Melania Trump issued a rare statement voicing her support for the LGBTQ+ community on Tuesday.

Trump shared her comments in a post on X following the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold laws in West Virginia and Idaho that bar transgender girls from female school sports. The ruling was considered a setback for the transgender community, according to The Associated Press.

In her statement, Trump cited an excerpt from her own self-titled book “Melania” — and the page number.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has now legally confirmed this opinion: ‘Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females? … The answer is yes.’ America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls’ sports fair. Both ideals are essential,” Trump wrote.

Loyal MAGA fans expressed their outrage in response to the first lady’s comments.

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

/28 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.
