Trump calls in to Jake Tapper's show on Lindsey Graham

Trump Snaps at Jake Tapper: “Talk About the Reason You Asked Me to Speak”

Jake Tapper changes subject to Iran--Trump says to Stick to Lindsey Graham After Iran Question

President Trump called into CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday for what was supposed to be a discussion about the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham. But the interview quickly took a turn.

Jake Tapper brought up Graham’s support for recent U.S. strikes against Iran, then moved straight into questions about whether America was back at war and who controlled the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump was not interested in letting the segment get dragged away from Graham.

Tapper pressed again, asking about Iran’s claim that the Strait of Hormuz had been closed. Trump shut that down too.

“It’s open as far as we’re concerned. Don’t talk about it. Talk about the reason that you asked me to speak,” Trump said.

Tapper then moved back to Graham and asked if Trump had any final words for Americans about the senator. He did.

Housing Act became Law

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law at midnight Saturday

without President Trump’s signature

Trump refused to sign the bipartisan legislation or veto it, letting the Constitution’s 10-day clock run out as a pointed protest against the Senate’s failure to pass his election-integrity priority, the SAVE America Act.

It was an unusual move. The housing bill cleared both chambers with overwhelming margins, 85-5 in the Senate and 358-32 in the House, and Trump’s own White House had previously championed it.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had called the legislation “one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history,” noting it included policies “long championed” by the president.

Then Trump pulled the plug on a Capitol signing ceremony, blindsiding at least one senior Republican who showed up unaware the event had been canceled. His reasoning was blunt and public. House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Trump’s approach, framing the unsigned bill as a strategic pressure play rather than a policy disagreement. Johnson told reporters:

“We’ll still celebrate it, but he’s trying to make a point, and I think he’s making it very effectively. And the fact that you all ask me every three steps down the hallway illustrates that he has achieved the desired objective, and that is to make SAVE America the number one thing, because if we don’t get that right, everybody’s concerned about what happens next.”

Communist Delivery Driver Rips off ICE and steals their food

Buffalo DoorDash Driver Stole ICE Orders Until She Said The Wrong Thing To One Rep

"I love Communism," she said

A gig driver who calls herself a communist bragged about stealing federal agents' food. She assumed the company would quietly let her keep getting away with it.

One conversation with a company representative ended her scheme for good.

A driver going by nixxslingerland operates out of Batavia, New York. The Daily Caller identified her as Nix Slingerland, matching a Facebook profile using the same photo.

Batavia is home to the Buffalo Federal Detention Center, an ICE processing facility that orders food through delivery apps just like any other workplace. Slingerland decided that was reason enough to steal from federal employees.

She posted screenshots bragging that she had canceled an order bound for the detention center and kept the food, mocking the intended recipients as Nazis in the process.

The account behind the posts describes itself as agender and queer, and it links to content supporting drag performers and anti-ICE protests. DoorDash fired her.

This is what open hatred of law enforcement looks like in 2026. A driver decides federal agents protecting the border do not deserve the meals customers paid for, then calls it communism while pocketing free candy.

DoorDash did the right thing...she should be arrested.

Erdogan gives Magnum revolver with ammunition to those at Summit

Turkish President Distributes Loaded Revolvers to NATO Leaders at Alliance Summit

with his name engraved on them

Western leaders came to Turkey to discuss security in an increasingly perilous world. They each left with a revolver and six rounds.

The unconventional gift of Gumusay .357 Magnums from the host of this week’s NATO summit, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was meant to showcase his country’s growing defense industry.

But it left officials across the alliance scratching their heads. Some were forced to leave their gifts behind due to gun laws in their countries, while others donated theirs to museums.

“It struck me that ⁠my gift of maple syrup kind of undermatched,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters, adding that the firearm was now in police possession. “I would like to reassure Canadians, they keep guns away from me.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about his condition after weeks of mounting speculation about the Kentucky Republican’s health.

McConnell, 84, said in a statement that he was “briefly unconscious” around the time he was first taken to the hospital and has undergone a battery of tests to try and determine what led to his fall. He said he was also treated for mild pneumonia and has been moved to a rehabilitation facility.

“My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages,” McConnell said, adding that he is now “regaining my strength.” [Newsmax]

Lindsey Graham had Iran Death Threats

Lindsey Graham brushed off Iran's threats just five days before his sudden death

Five days before he died, Sen. Lindsey Graham posted a photo on X showing Iranian mourners parading a poster with a bullseye over his face. His response was seven words long: "At least they used a good photo of me."

Graham added one more line, "Judge me by my enemies", and went back to work. He flew to Ukraine. He toured a drone factory. He met with President Volodymyr Zelensky. He announced a deal on Russia sanctions. Then he came home and, one day later, was dead at 71.

The South Carolina Republican's death from what his office called a "brief and sudden illness" closed a career defined by an unapologetic willingness to confront hostile regimes, and by a final week that captured that posture in miniature. The New York Post reported that emergency dispatch calls suggested Graham experienced chest pain followed by a heart attack, though no official cause of death has been confirmed.

National Review reported the cause as sudden cardiac arrest, placing Graham's death on Saturday night, July 11, 2026. He had returned from Kyiv, his tenth trip to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion, just one day earlier.

Professional Soccer in Palm Beach County?

Soccer stadium at Palm Beach State college?

A SPORTS MANAGEMENT company wants to build a $50 million soccer stadium at Palm Beach State College for professional and collegiate teams, according to a proposal being considered by the college’s Board of Trustees.

Palm Beach Sports Management is pledging to construct of an 8,000-seat stadium on about 12 acres in the southeast corner of the campus off Sixth Avenue South just west of Lake Worth Beach.

The unsolicited proposal calls for the company to lease the land from the college for an initial term of 50 years, with two 25-year renewals, and build and operate soccer facilities on it. The construction budget is projected to be $50 million to $60 million, paid for with private money.

Palm Beach Sports Management owns franchise rights with the United Soccer League for both a men’s and a women’s professional soccer team in Palm Beach County. The PBSC stadium would be home to those teams, according to the proposal, which includes an exhibit titled “Palm Beach State College Partnership Presented by the United Soccer League.’’

The husband, the lobbyist, the committee

Chris Pappas runs on anti-corruption platform while husband works for company his committee oversees

Rep. Chris Pappas, the New Hampshire Democrat now running for U.S. Senate as a crusader against "corporate special interests," sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the same panel that oversees Uber, where his husband holds an executive policy role.

Uber spent $1.5 million lobbying Congress in the first quarter of 2026 alone, and its lobbyists have already contributed $5,250 to the Pappas Senate campaign.

Pappas's campaign website declares that he "knows the system is rigged against people and in favor of corporate special interests, dark money groups, and entrenched politicians." The arrangement between his committee seat, his husband's employer, and his own financial disclosures suggests the system may be working just fine, for the Pappas household.

The conflict, detailed by the Washington Free Beacon, traces back years and touches lobbying records, financial disclosures, regulatory filings, and a debate-stage denial that Pappas later had to walk back. His campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Vann Bentley, Pappas's husband, previously worked as a lobbyist for Amazon through 2019. He now serves as policy manager for cybersecurity and privacy at Uber. He is not currently registered as a lobbyist at the company, but his policy work puts him squarely inside Uber's government-facing operations.

Suspended first, celebrated later - "We'll Fix this"

Hegseth steps in again to reverse suspension of Apache pilots after July Fourth flyover

Eight Apache helicopter pilots from the South Carolina National Guard had their suspensions lifted Friday, hours after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly promised to intervene, following a low-altitude flyover along the South Carolina coast on July Fourth that drew cheers from beachgoers and a bureaucratic crackdown from their own chain of command.

The reversal marks the second time in recent months that Hegseth has personally overridden a military disciplinary process involving Apache pilots, ABC News reported. The pattern raises a pointed question about military culture in 2026: when pilots do exactly the kind of thing the public loves, fly attack helicopters over a patriotic holiday crowd, why does the default institutional response look like punishment?

The pilots, all members of the South Carolina National Guard's Alpha 1-151 Attack Battalion, flew the "Salute from the Shore" route from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to Beaufort, North Carolina, on Independence Day. Video of the low-altitude pass circulated online and drew widespread attention.

Shortly after the flight, the South Carolina National Guard temporarily suspended all eight pilots. The Guard issued a press release Thursday characterizing the move as a "routine administrative measure whenever a flight profile is under review." In a post on X, the Guard added that the suspension was "not a disciplinary action" and said the soldiers were still taking part in "regular daily duties in a non-flying capacity."

Proud Boys Jan 6 Convictions dismissed

Federal judge dismisses Proud Boys Jan. 6 convictions after DOJ moves to end cases permanently

A federal judge on Friday wiped away the remaining convictions of four Proud Boys members who faced some of the longest sentences handed down in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach, granting a Justice Department motion to dismiss the cases with prejudice (permanently thrown out by the court) thus permanently closing the door on prosecution.

U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly approved the dismissal for Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola, all convicted in 2023 on multiple felony charges.

Three of the four, Nordean, Biggs, and Rehl, had been found guilty of seditious conspiracy, a charge that carried enormous political weight during the Biden administration's sprawling Jan. 6 prosecution campaign.

The ruling marks the final legal chapter for the Proud Boys defendants. Their sentences had already been commuted by President Trump. The U.S. Court of Appeals had previously vacated the convictions. And in April, the DOJ filed a motion asking the trial court to formally dismiss the indictment.

Judge Kelly granted that motion Friday, but not without making clear he wasn't endorsing the outcome, only recognizing the constitutional boundaries of his own authority.

Sunset 7-12-26

Federal authorities arrested a citizen of Slovakia living in New Jersey on a green card and charged him with illegally voting in the 2022 midterm elections, then lying about it when he applied for U.S. citizenship.

Marian Charitun allegedly registered to vote by falsely claiming he was an American citizen, cast a ballot in the 2022 federal elections, and later filed naturalization paperwork with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services telling adjudicators he had never registered to vote and had never voted in any local, state, or federal election. The Department of Homeland Security announced the arrest Thursday.

If convicted of illegal voting and unlawful procurement of naturalization, Charitun faces up to 11 years in federal prison, and possible deportation.[ConservativeJournal]

Marco steps in and Deports pardoned criminal

Marco Rubio Deports Convict Child Rapist After Democrat Walz Pardoned Him

Government exists, first and foremost, to protect people who cannot protect themselves. That’s not a partisan statement. It’s the baseline. Every oath of office, every law on the books, every badge pinned to a chest — all of it flows from that single obligation.

When an elected official actively undermines that mission, he hasn’t just failed at his job. He’s betrayed the very people who trusted him with power.

Which raises an uncomfortable question: what do you do when a sitting governor uses the pardon power to prevent federal authorities from removing a convicted child rapist from American soil? Not a wrongly accused man.

Not a minor offender caught up in red tape. A man who admitted — proudly, almost — to raping a 10-year-old girl. The answer tells you everything about where progressive priorities actually land.

An illegal alien child rapist from Laos who was set for deportation until Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the State Board of Pardons granted him clemency has been removed from the United States, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News Digital.

Rubio stepped in to terminate Tue Lue Vang’s legal status in the U.S. and ensure that Walz’s actions would not create roadblocks for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) removing him from the country.

Theft of Cash and Credit cards by former Obama Press Secretary

Former Obama press secretary fired from Minneapolis post after allegedly stealing coworkers' credit cards for kratom purchases

Adam Fetcher, the 42-year-old former Obama administration press secretary who served as Minneapolis's first-ever cabinet-level chief communications officer, was fired July 1 after city employees accused him of swiping their cash and credit cards from desks and purses, then using the stolen cards to buy hundreds of dollars' worth of kratom at a nearby smoke shop.

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia whose leaves contain compounds that cause mind-altering and opioid-like effects.

Minneapolis police have submitted a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office for potential criminal charges. The case remains under review. Under Minnesota state law, credit card fraud of the amount alleged, $481 in kratom purchases alone, would qualify as a felony-level offense.

The allegations landed just weeks after Fetcher returned from a nine-week, work-approved stint in rehab for an unspecified substance use disorder. The city paid him close to $200,000 a year. Mayor Jacob Frey had appointed him in July 2025, creating the cabinet-level communications role specifically for the hire.
