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.

Lake Worth Beach Bakery owner taken into custody by ICE

Lake Worth Beach business owner arrested in ICE operation

family, community push back on agency's claims

ICE says Jacob Zapeta Castro is a 'criminal illegal alien' who has been deported 4 times

A Lake Worth bakery owner is in federal custody after Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him in what the agency is calling a targeted immigration operation — and his family, coworkers, and community members are pushing back on ICE's characterization of the man.

The arrest of Jacob Zapeta Castro happened at a Guatemalan bakery on Lucerne Avenue, just over the train tracks in Lake Worth Beach, on a day that employees say started like any other.

ICE says Zapeta Castro is "a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala who has been removed from the United States four times and has an extensive criminal history including illegal re-entry after deportation, multiple DUI arrests, hit and run, and resisting law enforcement."

According to ICE, officers encountered a vehicle associated with Zapeta Castro around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. When they attempted to stop him, the agency says he tried to ram an ICE vehicle, then got out, fled, and barricaded himself inside the bakery.

Sen. Lindsey Graham dies at 71 after ‘brief and sudden illness’

President Donald Trump led tributes to Graham, a leading Republican voice on defense and foreign policy, describing him as a “true American Patriot.”

Graham was chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and was seeking a fifth six-year Senate term in November. He was one of the most well-known members of the chamber and a key voice within the party on defense and foreign policy.

Emergency personnel responded to a call for “cardiac arrest” at Graham’s Capitol Hill home on Saturday night, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News.

Dick Morris, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, believes the rise of self-proclaimed democratic socialists will help Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.

"I'm glad socialists are doing well, because it helps us win," Morris said on "Rob Schmitt Tonight." "The Democratic Party always moves to the left after it loses an election. It's doing it now."

Americans "are not going along with socialism," he added. "The Democratic Party is. The left of the party is. The media, which echoes that, is. But the American people are not."

NY Times and top Democrats colluded to keep Platner viable

Tim Scott accuses New York Times of delaying Platner allegations to shield Schumer and Senate Democrats

Sen. Tim Scott, the South Carolina Republican who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, accused The New York Times and senior Senate Democrats of coordinating to suppress damaging allegations against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, buying time, Scott charged, for the party to protect a seat it desperately needs.

The accusation follows a week in which Platner's candidacy collapsed. A bombshell report alleged the Democrat raped his ex-girlfriend, Jenny Racicot. Democratic lawmakers and organizations abandoned him almost overnight, a dramatic reversal from months of institutional backing.

But Scott says the reversal came far too late, and that the people now running from Platner are the same ones who propped him up while warning signs piled up for nearly a year.

The real question, in Scott's telling, is why a newspaper of record and a political party both sat on what they knew.

About as Direct as it Gets - Bomb the hell out of them

Trump Reveals His Instructions If Iran Assassinates Him: ‘Bomb Them’

Trump Says Iran Knows What Happens If Assassins Ever Reach Him

President Trump says he has already made it clear what should happen if Iran ever succeeds in an assassination plot against him.

The comments came after reports that Israeli intelligence had warned U.S. officials about a new alleged Iranian plot targeting Trump. According to the Wall Street Journal, Israeli officials recently shared information with the United States about a specific threat. The details have not been made public, and the report said U.S. agencies had not previously identified the same intelligence on their own.

Trump, speaking in an exclusive interview with The New York Post, said the threat from Iran is nothing new to him.

“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” Trump said. “The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.”

Mandami official scheduled a meeting with Iran's Ambassador

State Department blocks Mamdani official's planned sit-down with Iran's UN ambassador

The Trump administration shut down a planned meeting between a senior New York City official and Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, the second time in recent weeks federal authorities have had to intervene over the Mamdani administration's freelance contacts with foreign leaders.

Commissioner Ana María Archila, who leads Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Office of International Affairs, had scheduled a sit-down with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran's permanent representative to the UN, Fox News Digital reported. Once the State Department learned of the plan, the meeting was called off. Federal officials then met with Mamdani administration staff to spell out what conduct is and isn't acceptable.

Mamdani, New York City's newly elected mayor, told reporters at a Friday press conference that he had no idea the meeting was in the works until a journalist asked about it.

"That meeting did not take place, it will not take place and I did not know about it until there was a press inquiry regarding it."

When pressed on whether he would have supported such a meeting, Mamdani cut the exchange short: "I've said that that meeting will not be taking place. Thank you all very much."

Byron Donalds is the Frontrunner for Florida Governor

Donalds still leads Florida GOP governor’s race

but rivals press him on lawsuit, debates and polling

Byron Donalds remains the Republican frontrunner for Florida governor, but his rivals are trying to make the final stretch of the primary far less comfortable.

The Trump-endorsed congressman is now pushing back against a new civil assault lawsuit filed in Collier County by Kelly Mason, who alleges Donalds threatened and intimidated her during a 2022 confrontation inside Seed to Table, a Naples grocery store.

The complaint claims the confrontation stemmed from litigation involving Donalds’ wife, Erika Donalds, and that Donalds threatened to “crush” or “finish” Mason. Donalds’ campaign dismissed the lawsuit as political.

“This is a baseless, politically motivated attack and shameful publicity stunt designed to damage Byron Donalds in the 2026 election,” said Gates McGavick, Donalds’ campaign communications director. “This individual has a long history of unsuccessful litigation against the Donalds family. Floridians deserve better news coverage than lazy reprints of a tabloid.”

The lawsuit comes as Donalds’ opponents are also trying to force him onto a debate stage. Former House Speaker Paul Renner is calling for another Republican primary debate, preferably on Fox News or another national outlet, after Donalds skipped a recent podcast debate featuring Renner, Lt. Gov. Jay Collins and James Fishback. Axios reported Donalds was still mentioned dozens of times during that debate, even though he did not participate.

“The voters want debates, they deserve debates,” Renner said. “He has to answer the why question: Why should he be the governor and not the other candidates in this race?”

There is no need for Donalds to debate:
Rep. BYRON DONALDS is out front with 37.5 percent, while Collins has 20.2 percent. Investor JAMES FISHBACK is in third with 9.6 percent. Former state House Speaker PAUL RENNER was at 2.1 percent

USMNT Players Just Lost a Quarter Million Dollars Each They Already Earned

The USMNT earned 16 million dollars from FIFA

for reaching the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup on home soil

Millions Sit Waiting for a Women's Roster Nobody Has Picked

• US Soccer skims 20 percent off the top before a single player sees a dime.
• That leaves 12.8 million dollars, split in half between the 26 men who suited up this summer and a women's roster that does not exist yet.
• Each side gets 6.4 million dollars, or 246,153.85 dollars per player, once US Soccer cuts the checks.
• That women's half sits in an interest-bearing account because the team has not even qualified for the 2027 World Cup, a spot they can lock up as early as this November, with the actual 26-player roster not set until next spring.

It is about a federation that built a system where winning on the field stopped mattering for your paycheck.

The men can lose in the round of 16 for the sixth straight cycle and still bankroll a roster that has not kicked a ball.

Roger Stone is right: you can take Little Italy off a city map, but you cannot take it out of history.

"Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s immigrant-enclave map reportedly highlights dozens of communities while omitting Little Italy and other historic enclaves, sparking outrage from Italian-American leaders.

City Hall says the map focuses on current foreign-born populations, not historic immigrant neighborhoods. That excuse is the insult.

Italian Americans did exactly what America asked: they worked, built, assimilated, raised families, fought wars, started businesses, and became loyal citizens.

Now success is treated like erasure." [Roger Stone]

Mamdani tweeted in a 2020 tweet and it showed him making an obscene gesture at the Christopher Columbus statue in Astoria, Queens, along with the caption "Take it down."

Latest strikes against Iran

US Military Hits 80 Iran Targets After Strait of Hormuz Attacks

The U.S. military released unclassified footage Tuesday showing its latest strikes against Iran after a new round of attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to U.S. Central Command, American forces hit more than 80 targets in the operation. CENTCOM said the strikes were carried out with precision munitions and were meant as an immediate response to Iranian attacks on vessels moving through one of the world’s most important shipping lanes.

The Strait of Hormuz is a major route for global energy shipments. When Iran targets ships there, it is not just a regional problem. It threatens trade, fuel markets, allies, and international shipping crews trying to do their jobs.

Earlier Tuesday, Tehran reportedly struck three ships, including a Qatari natural gas vessel. CENTCOM identified the targeted commercial vessels as the Marshall Islands-flagged M/T Al Rekayyat, the Saudi Arabia-flagged M/T Wedyan, and the Liberian-flagged M/T Cyprus Prosperity.

The U.S. described Iran’s actions as “a clear violation of the ceasefire.”

In its statement, CENTCOM said, “U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed a new round of offensive strikes against Iran, July 7, hitting over 80 targets with precision munitions as an immediate response to Iran’s latest attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”

SNAP data - Rooting out Fraud

FTC chairman says Democratic governors are shielding fraudsters by refusing to hand over SNAP data

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson accused Democratic governors of blocking the Trump administration's effort to root out fraud in the food-stamp program, charging that their refusal to share recipient data amounts to protecting the people who steal from taxpayers.

Ferguson made the accusation Thursday during an appearance on Fox News' "America's Newsroom," where he laid out a widening rift between the administration and blue-state leaders over access to information about who receives Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

SNAP is funded by federal dollars but administered by state governments, a structure that gives governors effective veto power over whether Washington can audit the rolls.

The core dispute is straightforward. The administration has asked states to share SNAP recipient data so federal investigators can verify that benefits are reaching eligible Americans, and not illegal immigrants or other ineligible recipients. Red states, Ferguson said, are cooperating. Blue states are not. And he did not hold back about what that refusal signals.

"I don't know what else to infer from the fact that they're not cooperating other than trying to protect the fraudsters, and I don't know what to infer from that other than the Democrats are in on this, and I think it's a huge problem."

Sanctuary NYC Zohran has Selective Recognition

NYC Mayor Mamdani faces backlash after Little Italy left off city immigrant-neighborhood map

New York City's first socialist mayor is catching heat from Italian American leaders after Little Italy, one of the most storied immigrant neighborhoods in American history, was left off a city-produced map of "immigrant enclaves" which was promoted ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The "New York City Immigrant Enclaves" map lists 30 neighborhoods. It includes well-known areas like Chinatown and lesser-known designations such as Little Palestine and Little Haiti. But the neighborhood where generations of Italian immigrants settled, opened shops, raised families, and built churches doesn't appear anywhere on the graphic.

The Italian American Civil Rights League fired back with a blistering statement accusing Mayor Zohran Mamdani of deliberately erasing Italian Americans from the city's heritage.

The omission has become the latest flashpoint in a pattern of cultural and political friction surrounding Mamdani's young administration, and it raises a pointed question about which communities City Hall considers worth celebrating.

The map names 30 neighborhoods. Fox News Digital identified Chinatown, Little Palestine, and Little Haiti among them. Little Italy is absent. So are any Jewish or Irish neighborhoods, communities whose contributions to New York's identity are woven into the city's very foundation.

Gangs using Rideshare apps for smuggling

Gangs may be using rideshare apps to smuggle people into country, Border Patrol says

EL PASO, Texas - Gangs might be using rideshare apps to help smuggle people into the country, according to officials.

What we know:
Agents with the El Paso sector of the U.S. Border Patrol said the criminal organizations appear to be using legitimate apps to shield themselves from law enforcement. They often use third-party accounts to arrange pickups in secluded locations, remote highways near the border wall or some commercial parking lots.

What they're saying:
"Cartel criminal smugglers recklessly endanger the lives of rideshare drivers and passengers alike, treating legitimate drivers as disposable tools for their smuggling operations," said El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jesse D. Munoz. "When these trips are intercepted, drivers face immediate detention and asset forfeiture while federal agents investigate their level of involvement in the smuggling network."

What you can do:
Border Patrol said rideshare drivers should watch for passengers wearing heavily soiled clothes, bookings that exceed vehicle occupancy limits or passengers who appear stressed and unaware of their location.

Drivers could be charged with felony charges of alien smuggling and harboring if convicted of participating in the smuggling network, according to Border Patrol. {U.S. Customes and Border Protection]

Erika Kirk - Painful Dignity

Erika Kirk fought to keep cameras in the courtroom

making sure this proceeding stays public, stays transparent, and can't be buried

And at her husband, Charlie Kirk's memorial service, she stood up and forgave Tyler Robinson.

"My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life," she said through tears. "I forgive him because it was what Christ did. It is what Charlie would do."

Trump called for the death penalty. Erika Kirk forgave the man who made her a widow. Both responses make sense.

And this week, while she sits through photographs and autopsy reports and video of the moment her husband was shot, she'll do it with the same dignity she's shown from the beginning.

• The Left celebrated Charlie Kirk's death on social media.
• Bluesky users posted "do Trump next" within hours of the shooting.
• Jimmy Kimmel cracked jokes about it on late-night television and got suspended.
• An MSNBC contributor was fired for his comments – and then complained on Substack that the "Right Wing media mob" came after him.
