Karoline Leavitt Returned in Full Force and John Thune Is Not Happy About Getting Taken to the Woodshed

Leavitt Confirms What Trump Voters Already Suspected

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stood behind the podium Thursday and delivered a line eight months of Senate inaction had been building toward.

"His patience is running out," Leavitt told reporters. She said Trump wants the SAVE America Act – the citizenship and voter ID law that would end the Democrat cheating machine for good – passed before the August recess.

The House has already done its job, passing versions of the bill more than once this year. The Senate has done nothing but stall.

Leavitt made the obvious point that Trump voters put Republicans in charge of both chambers of Congress, not just the Oval Office.

That is not a talking point.

Socialist Troy Jackson

Democrats Pick Troy Jackson to Challenge Sen. Collins in Maine Senate Race

Jackson, a former state Senate president, is the Democrats’ replacement nominee after Graham Platner dropped out following sexual assault allegations.

He has been a registered Republican, Independent and now a Democrat. 

Despite being a progressive Democrat, Jackson began his political career as a Republican. Following the blockade, he unsuccessfully ran in 2000 as a Republican for the Maine House of Representatives. At the time, he was opposed to abortion, a position he has since reversed.

Jackson ran again in 2002, this time as an Independent, and won, beating the candidate he lost to two years prior. He changed his affiliation to Democrat in 2004 and has remained in the party since.

Jackson served as a delegate at the 2016 Democratic National Convention and was part of a small number of delegates who voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who lost to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton went on to lose the election to President Donald Trump.

Jackson unsuccessfully ran for governor this year, losing to Hannah Pingree

"In The Heights" now playing at the Lake Worth Playhouse

Off to lunch and the Lake Worth Playhouse

The best deal in town

The production launches Lake Worth Playhouse's 74th Main Stage Season, bringing one of Broadway's most celebrated contemporary musicals to downtown Lake Worth Beach. Filled with vibrant music, high-energy choreography, and unforgettable characters, In the Heights is a joyful celebration of family, culture, and community.

“At its core, In the Heights is about community,” said Artistic Director Daniel Eilola. “It's about the people who know your name, the sacrifices families make for one another, and the dreams that connect us across generations.”

Performances started on July 17 and ending on August 2 at Lake Worth Playhouse located at 713 Lake Avenue Lake Worth Beach, FL. Tickets can be purchased on the theater's website or by calling (561) 586-6410.

Ben Franklin Exhibit at the Smithsonian

Smithsonian Director Said She Has Zero Regrets After Getting Caught Smearing Ben Franklin With No Proof

The Smithsonian already stood accused of turning America's history museum into a woke propaganda machine.Then one exhibit about Ben Franklin walked into a House hearing and detonated everything.

What the Smithsonian said about him left even the room speechless. A Heritage Foundation researcher stood in front of the House Oversight Committee and pulled the pin. He told lawmakers about a Smithsonian display called The Electric Dr. Franklin.

The exhibit ran at the National Museum of American History from 2021 to 2025. Its subtitle asked visitors to consider "Enslaved People in Franklin's Research." The museum's own text admits it has no proof this ever happened.

"Indentured servants and enslaved people in his household could also have been used," the exhibit states, before admitting the museum may never know if that's true. That is not history. That is a smear dressed up in a museum placard.

Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez asked lawmakers why anyone would smear a Founding Father like Franklin over something so bizarre and unprovable.

Franklin spent his final years as president of the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery. He personally petitioned Congress to end slavery in America.

Powerful speech by Senator Sheehy

United States Naval academy graduate and U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy spoke on the U.S. Senate floor casting his vote against the Iran War Powers Resolution.

The Senate voted 47–49, failing to advance a legally binding joint resolution sponsored by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.). Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was the sole Democrat to vote against it, while Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) voted with Democrats. Key Republicans like Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) were absent or voted present, preventing the measure from clearing the chamber.

Following up on a government report that confirmed the Smithsonian has been suppressing historical facts about the U.S. in favor of a leftist ideological bias that often denigrates America, President Donald Trump has ordered signs posted to correct the situation.

The response from the president, whose authority does not extend to replacing the museum's chieftains, is to order signs posted outside the museum, where the National Park Service, which takes orders from the president, runs the sidewalks.

Being posted now is the warning, above each entrance, "Warning: the exhibits in this museum were prepared by people who don't want you to love your country." [WND]

Cory Mills under DOJ Investigation

Trump's DOJ opens investigation into Florida Republican Cory Mills amid mounting misconduct allegations

Donald Trump's Justice Department has launched an investigation into Rep. Cory Mills, a Florida Republican already facing a two-year House Ethics Committee probe, adding federal scrutiny to a growing list of allegations that includes assault, sexual extortion, and campaign finance violations.

A person familiar with the matter confirmed the DOJ probe to the Daily Mail, though the specific focus of the investigation remains unclear. Mills' office did not respond to a request for comment on the federal inquiry.

The congressman, first elected in 2022 to represent Florida's 7th District, now faces simultaneous investigations from the Justice Department, the bipartisan House Ethics Committee, and Florida state law enforcement, a convergence of legal pressure that few sitting members of Congress have weathered.

The DOJ probe lands on top of allegations that have already drawn public demands from within Mills' own party. Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, has called for Mills to be stripped of his responsibilities over the misconduct claims.

And Mills' longtime chief of staff and chief counsel, Catherine Treadwell, abruptly resigned earlier this month, leaving behind a resignation letter with a single memorable line.

"The horrors persist, but I do not."

Treadwell thanked her co-workers in the letter but offered no further public explanation of what prompted her departure. The word "horrors", from someone who served as both Mills' top staffer and his chief legal adviser, hung without elaboration.

Obama compared JD Vance to a NAZI

🤡Barack Obama Called JD Vance a Nazi the Same Week He Spoke Aboard a Warship About American Unity

Barack Obama spent eight years telling you he was the president of all Americans.

Then he compared the sitting Vice President of the United States to a Nazi.

Obama just called that speech a "blood and soil" vision borrowed from Hitler's Germany.

Vance delivered his July 4th remarks in New York Harbor during the Sail250 International Naval Review, surrounded by more than 30 tall ships from allied nations.

His message was about unity –

Specifically, that Americans have accomplished everything "not as citizens divided against each other, but as a common people working toward a common future."

"Reject that America is a place for zero-sum thinking, because it's not," Vance said. "Reject the view of your nation that sees only its sins, but not its grace and its greatness."

Now a former president is calling that Nazi rhetoric.

Poor woman listed as a major donor through Act Blue

88-Year-Old Widow in Trailer Listed as $150K ActBlue Donor to Dems

An 88-year-old widow in rural Michigan says she was shocked to learn that federal campaign finance records list her as a major donor to Democratic causes through ActBlue.

The woman, Elizabeth Waffle, lives in a trailer and says she does not have anything close to the money reflected in the records. According to reporting highlighted by journalist Charlie LeDuff, Federal Election Commission filings attribute 14,696 separate donations to her name over the past five years. The total is nearly $150,000.

That works out to roughly eight donations per day, every day, for five years.

Waffle told LeDuff she has made some small political donations before. She described herself as a “true believer” in liberal causes and acknowledged giving some money to Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. But she said the scale of the donations tied to her name does not make sense.

When shown the records, Waffle pushed back hard. “One hundred and fifty thousand?… Hell no. I don’t have that kind of money. This is very abnormal.”

Florida Deportation Orders

Florida's deportation orders surge in June, following a national trend

Since March, deportations ordered by immigration judges in Florida have increased 18 percent, according to recently released data.

In June, judges issued 5,415 removal orders, a 17.6 percent increase compared to March’s 4,605 removal orders, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a nonprofit that tracks immigration data.

Florida follows a national trend of an increase in deportation orders, which hit an all-time high of 79,000 in June, the most orders issued in a month so far in President Donald Trump’s second term.

Even though Florida remains one of the top states for overall deportations, it lagged behind an average national surge of 30 percent, as other states saw steeper climbs in the number of people ordered to be deported to their country of origin between the months of March to June.

And while Mexico is the destination country for the largest share of removal orders in the U.S., with 121,001 since last October (the beginning of the federal fiscal year), in Florida the most removal orders were issued to those originally from Guatemala.

With 3,934 detainees, Florida ranks fifth among states. About a quarter of immigrants detained in Florida are housed in a state-run immigration detention facility in Baker County dubbed Deportation Depot. Alligator Alcatraz, a billion-dollar tent facility located in the Everglades that was in operation for nearly a year, closed earlier this month.

Obama's Presidential Library Subcontractors got stiffed

Obama Presidential Center subcontractor shuts down

lays off 25 workers over $4 million payment dispute

A Chicago plumbing contractor that helped build the Obama Presidential Center has closed its doors and laid off 25 union workers after racking up nearly $4 million in losses on the project, and the Obama Foundation says the construction manager, not the foundation, handles payments.

Mike Owen spent months trying to resolve the money quietly. He negotiated with Lakeside Alliance, the joint venture managing construction at the center in Jackson Park on Chicago's South Side. When those talks went nowhere, he went public. When a promised $100,000 payment failed to arrive before the center's grand opening on June 19, he pulled the plug.

On June 25, Owen suspended operations at Adamson Plumbing Contractors, sent home 25 union workers, walked away from roughly half a dozen other construction jobs, and moved out of his office. He now works from his kitchen table.

A $350 million project ballooned past $1 billion, and a promised reserve fund sits nearly empty.

The Obama Presidential Center was originally projected to cost roughly $350 million. By 2021, that figure had climbed to $830 million. Construction costs have since reportedly surpassed $1 billion. Obama personally pushed architects to expand the center's scale, a decision that contributed to the price tag's relentless growth.

The Obama Foundation secured the 19.3-acre Jackson Park site through a 99-year lease requiring a one-time payment of $10. As part of the arrangement, the foundation promised a $470 million reserve fund to protect Chicago taxpayers from cost overruns. Fox News Digital's previous reporting found that only $1 million had actually been deposited into that fund.

Owen has turned the dispute over to his attorneys. He said the $1.72 million lien is just the beginning.

Michael Smith nails the left’s new sales pitch: “We are not communists. We just care more than you.” That is not politics. It is emotional extortion. 

It is the National Lampoon cover updated for the DSA age: give us power, give us money, give us your children, give us your economy, give us your speech — or the poor, the planet, the migrants, the marginalized, and the puppy get it.

The lie is not in the stated goal. The lie is in the method. They do not want to spend their taxes. They want to command yours.

Wake up folks. Most of the people parroting “we are not socialists, we just care more than you do” have never thought beyond the end of their nose. This feel-good, we just want to teach the world to sing facade is total bullshit and it must be stopped before it is too late to stop it. [Michael Smith/Luthmann]

60 Trade Partners to get new tariffs

Trump to Impose New Tariffs on 60 Countries

The administration accused 60 trading partners of failing to enforce bans on forced labor. It comes as a global 10 percent tariff is set to expire.

The Trump administration will impose new tariffs just after midnight ET Friday on dozens of countries over alleged forced-labor violations, according to a notice in the Federal Register.

The duties, set between 10% and 12.5%, will effectively replace President Donald Trump’s temporary 10% global tariffs, which are set to expire at the same time as the new ones take effect.

The forthcoming tariffs will apply to 60 trade partners and cover 99.4% of U.S. trade, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said in a fact sheet Thursday afternoon. The office separately told CNBC that it could not provide an estimate of how much revenue the new tariffs will generate.

Vladimir Putin coming out of hibernation?

Hybrid warfare escalation by Russia.

Putin has been quiet lately and that's a red flag

Russia has captured large numbers of Ukrainian drones and may be planning to use them against NATO or to stage a false flag attack, Polish defense minister said, adding to earlier warnings of a potential escalation.

This comes after more than a month of unusual public warnings by several Eastern European countries that Russia was planning some form of provocation or hybrid attack, with officials citing numerous pieces of intelligence.

Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia have been among the countries raising the alarm, some citing U.S. intelligence that had been shared with them.

The latest information, shared by Poland’s defense minister, outlines concrete threat for what was previously a more general warning of Russian malicious intent. 

Threat appears to be taken seriously by Eastern European capitals. In addition to drone incursions, GPS jamming, and various acts of sabotage may be on the table.
