A federal appeals court has blocked New Jersey Democrats from mo ving ahead with an unlawful scheme to block President Trump from housing illegal aliens in privately run detention centers.
The 2-1 ruling is a warning shot to "sanctuary" jurisdictions around the country that are actively trying to thwart President Trump's mass deportation plans.
In 2021, New Jersey's Democratic governor Phil Murphy signed a law that bars state, local, and private entities from making contracts with the federal government to house illegal immigrants.
The appeals court called New Jersey's ban on private detention centers a "clever" ruse that flies in the face of the Constitution. The law was clearly "intended to ban immigration detention," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit found.
Columbia University Agrees to Pay $200 Million to Restore Federal Funding
The university said it ‘does not admit to wrongdoing,’ but accepts that ‘reform was and is needed.’
Of course they won't admit to doing anything wrong.
“While Columbia does not admit to wrongdoing with this resolution agreement, the institution’s leaders have recognized, repeatedly, that Jewish students and faculty have experienced painful, unacceptable incidents, and that reform was and is needed,” the university said in a statement announcing that it had reached a deal with the federal government.
Columbia University was one of the most active campuses involved in pro-Palestinian protests that swept the United States in 2024 in the wake of terrorist group Hamas’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 that killed 1200 Israelis and took over 200 hostages, which triggered a war that is still ongoing.
Pro-Palestinian students and activists formed encampments, and in several instances, Jewish students were physically or verbally harassed by protestors.
Critics, including President Donald Trump’s administration, have accused the university administrators of failing to take proper action in response to these incidents of anti-Semitism.
The Department of Education sent compliance letters to over 60 universities, warning them of potential enforcement actions if they failed to make changes to protect Jewish students under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which bars groups that receive federal funds from discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
At 5:16 into the video, Obama starts his Trump ridicule and personal out-downs. That night (bashing continued by Seth Myers), was the night Trump was determined more than ever before that he would run for President...and what a remarkable job he has done in just 7 months.
There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Barack Obama & his national security team directed the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment that they KNEW was false...an abominable political dirty trick
In the swamp of Washington politics, where perception management reigns supreme, it takes courage to document the lies that shaped our recent history. How long did they really think they could fool the American people?
Such moments of reckoning don’t arrive by accident—they require leaders willing to compile the evidence and present it without filter or spin. When that evidence spans over 14 minutes of recorded deception, the impact becomes undeniable.
House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered exactly that kind of bombshell this week, releasing a devastating video compilation on the one-year anniversary of Joe Biden’s catastrophic debate performance. The timing wasn’t coincidental—it marked the moment when the carefully constructed facade around Biden’s mental fitness finally crumbled before millions of Americans. [Istandforfreedom]
Halperin delivers brutal assessment of Democrats’ media dependency
Political veteran Mark Halperin dropped a bombshell analysis that sent shockwaves through Democrat circles this week. The "2-Way" host didn’t mince words when he declared the Left’s "asymmetrical advantage in media" his official "loser of the week."
"It’s a paradigm shift, and they don’t recognize what a crutch that’s been for them," Halperin explained during his show with Sean Spicer.
The seasoned political observer outlined how Democrats have become dangerously dependent on friendly media outlets to carry their water.
"The left’s presumption that they can asymmetrically dominate the media" is crumbling before their eyes, Halperin noted. Democrats overplayed their hand so badly that Americans started looking elsewhere for information and services.
New York Times columnist David Brooks explained, "The government has contracted with, I think, two-thirds of the nonprofits in this country to provide services. And a lot of those — money goes to pretty left-wing organizations."
Republicans finally have the votes and political will to act on longstanding grievances about taxpayer-funded left-wing activism.
Lawmakers’ Rhetoric Blamed for Rise in Violence Targeting ICE, says Homan
Former border czar Tom Homan issued a strong warning during a national television appearance this week, saying that politically charged statements from members of Congress are putting the lives of immigration officers in jeopardy.
According to Breitbart, speaking on the July 18 broadcast of Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Homan said inflammatory language from lawmakers has incited attacks against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and facilities.
Homan, who previously served under the Trump administration as border czar, joined host Cheryl Casone on Friday morning to discuss the increasing threats directed at ICE agents. Casone opened the segment by pointing to the danger Homan himself faces, including credible death threats, prompting him to take extreme personal safety measures.
During the interview, Homan attributed a recent increase in violence toward immigration officers to the statements made by some Democratic lawmakers. He asserted that continued comparisons of ICE to terrorist organizations or authoritarian regimes have fueled these actions.
He said he had previously warned that such strong language could result in tragic consequences. “I said two months ago, if this rhetoric continues, there will be bloodshed,” he told Casone. “Unfortunately, I was right.”
Wall Street Journal cut from Scotland trip press team
President Donald Trump's administration has barred The Wall Street Journal from joining the press pool for his upcoming Scotland trip, citing a controversial story about an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.
The exclusion comes as a direct response to the Journal's recent publication detailing claims that Trump sent an inappropriate birthday message to the late convicted sex offender in 2003.
According to Newsmax, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the Journal would not be among the 13 media outlets accompanying Trump to Scotland this weekend, attributing the decision to what she termed "fake and defamatory conduct" by the publication.
White House press secretary Leavitt defended the administration's position, emphasizing that no news organization is guaranteed special access to cover the president in private workspaces or aboard Air Force One. She maintained that the remaining thirteen "diverse outlets" would provide adequate coverage of the president's Scotland trip.
Trump has responded to the Journal's article with a $10 billion lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones (the Journal's publisher), and the reporters involved in the story. The legal action demonstrates the president's aggressive stance against what he considers defamatory reporting.
What to Know About Trump Admin’s Dispute With Brazil Over the Bolsonaro Trial
The U.S. president posted a letter defending the former Brazilian president, calling the latter’s prosecution an attack on a political opponent.
President Donald Trump and the Brazilian government are increasingly at odds over the handling of embattled former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s ongoing trial related to an alleged coup to overturn the country’s 2022 presidential election.
On July 17, Trump sent a letter to Bolsonaro expressing his “sincere hope that the government of Brazil changes course, stops attacking political opponents, and ends its ridiculous censorship regime.”
The day after that letter was made public, Bolsonaro made a public response thanking Trump. The Brazilian Supreme Court responded with warrants and restraining orders banning Bolsonaro from contacting foreign officials concerning the charges.
Trump said last week he would impose a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian goods starting on Aug. 1, in a letter of criticism of the Bolsonaro trial.
‘We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made,’ Trump said.
With an Aug. 1 deadline approaching, the United States has reached a trade agreement with Japan, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media on Tuesday.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made. Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits.
This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it. Perhaps most importantly, Japan will open their Country to Trade including Cars and Trucks, Rice and certain other Agricultural Products, and other things. Japan will pay Reciprocal Tariffs to the United States of 15%.
This is a very exciting time for the United States of America, and especially for the fact that we will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Today, President Donald Trump reiterated his criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell amid his ongoing call for lower rates, and called on the central bank's board to act.
"Our Rate should be three points lower than they are, saving us $1 Trillion per year (as a Country).
This stubborn guy at the Fed just doesn’t get it — Never did, and never will. The Board should act, but they don’t have the Courage to do so!" Trump wrote on his social media platform.
President Trump isn’t holding back—and the liberal media is in full panic mode. In a bombshell Oval Office press event, Trump named Barack Obama as the “leader of the gang” behind what he called a “treasonous conspiracy” to weaponize U.S. intelligence against his 2016 campaign.
While the left-wing media scrambles to dismiss these claims as “baseless,” their hysterical reactions tell a different story. If there was nothing to hide, why are they so desperate to silence the truth?
DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s report, released Friday, has sent shockwaves through Washington. The document accuses Obama-era officials of manipulating intelligence on Russian election interference—and Gabbard didn’t stop there. She sent criminal referrals to the DOJ, with Trump promising “thousands” more documents are coming
This isn’t just vindication for Trump; it’s a direct indictment of the deep-state operatives who spent years peddling the Russia hoax. Yet, instead of demanding accountability, the liberal media is busy spinning this as a “partisan stunt.” Their bias couldn’t be more obvious.
Trump hasn’t forgotten about Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s sham investigation into his campaign. Back in March, he ordered the declassification of all related files, declaring that Americans “deserved to know how deep the rot goes.” Now, with Gabbard’s report in hand, Trump is proving this wasn’t just about him—it was an assault on democracy itself.
“What they did in 2016 and 2020 is very criminal,” Trump told reporters. “It’s criminal at the highest level.” The liberal media’s response? Crickets. Or worse—outright deflection.
Bondi Nukes Biden Judge, Pulls The Rug From Under Corrupt Judicial System
In a bold move that underscores the Trump administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law, Attorney General Pam Bondi immediately fired Desiree Leigh Grace, the replacement for interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, after a group of activist judges attempted to undermine the Department of Justice’s authority.
This decisive action came just hours after a panel of federal district court judges—many appointed by Obama and Biden—succumbed to political pressure from far-left Democrats (Kareem Jeffries for one who called Habba a "hack") and voted to oust Habba from her position as interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.
The liberal media, ever eager to distort the truth, has predictably framed this as a “controversial” move by the Trump administration. But the reality is clear: this was a necessary step to prevent judicial overreach and protect the President’s constitutional authority under Article II.
As Bondi stated, “This Department of Justice does not tolerate rogue judges—especially when they threaten the President’s core Article II powers.” The AG’s swift response sent a powerful message that the DOJ will not bow to partisan gamesmanship or let activist judges dictate its leadership.

In a revealing Fox News interview Monday night, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that U.S. airstrikes last month severely damaged Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, forcing the regime to halt its uranium enrichment activities—at least temporarily.
“Our facilities have been damaged, seriously damaged,” Araghchi told host Bret Baier during Special Report.
Araghchi said Iran’s “automechanical organization” is still assessing whether any previously enriched material survived, further confirming Pentagon assessments that the strikes have set Iran’s nuclear program back by at least two years.
Pressed by Baier on the current status of uranium enrichment, Araghchi conceded:
“It is stopped because… damages are serious and severe. But obviously, we cannot give up enrichment—it is a question of national pride.”
President Trump has not responded directly to the interview, but has repeatedly said any future agreement with Iran must include:
