The Latest


Deadly Illegal Immigrant Truck Driver Got Work Permit from Biden


You’ve probably seen the video <[link removed]>
of last week’s tractor-trailer U-turn gone wrong. It’s one of the most shocking
things we’ve watched in a while.

The driver, illegal immigrant Harjinder Singh, blocked off each of the
Florida Turnpike’s lanes during his rogue attempt to cross the median through
an “Official Use Only” pass. That left an approaching van trapped, giving its
driver and two passengers no chance to escape. They rammed into Singh’s truck
at high speed. All three died.

America’s last president could have prevented this with competent immigration
policies. The Department of Homeland Security revealed on Monday that the Biden
administration granted Singh a work permit in 2021 after the first Trump
administration denied his application the previous year. This unfolded after
Trump’s Border Patrol processed him for fast-track deportation in 2018 before
an asylum claim forced them to let him go.

California issued Singh a commercial driver’s license in 2021. Gavin Newsom
is already trying to distract you from that fact

DOJ to Turn Over Epstein Files


Congressional lawmakers are about to get the Epstein files – or at least some
of them.

House Oversight Committee chair James Comer announced Monday that the DOJ
will begin turning over Jeffrey Epstein-related materials this week. The move
will comply with the committee’s July subpoena. Requested materials included
all documents and communications relating to both Epstein and Ghislaine
Maxwell, as well as files "further relating or referring to human trafficking,
exploitation of minors, sexual abuse, or related activity."

Files related to Epstein’s 2007 sweetheart plea agreement could be among the
most interesting in the batch. Alex Acosta, the prosecutor who granted the
pedophile the bizarrely generous arrangement,reportedly said
<[link removed]> in a sworn 2019
testimony that he did it because Epstein “belonged to intelligence.”

What the hell does that mean? Did Epstein work for the CIA? Or Mossad?
Thinking he may have doesn’t make you a conspiracy theorist.Acosta literally
said it. Read more

Trump Hosts European Leaders Summit, Calls Putin with Zelensky Present


Donald Trump hosted Volodymyr Zelensky, Emmanuel Macron, and a half a dozen
other European leaders at the White House on Monday for talks on ending their
continent’s war.

All sides seem to view the summit in a positive light, with Trump calling it
"a very good, early step,” Zelensky praising the coalition’s "genuine unity,"
and NATO chief Mark Rutte deeming it “very successful.”

The day’s biggest developments included Trump expressing openness to using
U.S. troops
<[link removed]>
in the peace process, saying both Russia and Ukraine must “discuss the
possible exchanges of territory <[link removed]>,”
Zelensky announcing that anew package of security guarantees
<[link removed]>
will be formalized “within the next week to 10 days,” andTrump calling
Vladimir Putin
<[link removed]> to
pitch him on meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart.

The Putin call reportedly took place with the full European group gathered in
the Oval Office. It lasted for roughly 40 minutes, and Trump later said the
discussion launched “arrangements for a meeting" between Putin and Zelensky, to
be followed by another summit including him.The first of those meetings could
take place within two weeks

Drudge Report Speculates that Putin May Be Blackmailing Trump


More of this?

The Drudge Report ran a typical Russia hoax headline on Monday, asking, “IS
THE DON BEING BLACKMAILED?” by Vladimir Putin.

“TRUMP BACKS PUTIN DEMANDS. IS THE DON BEING BLACKMAILED?” the website read.

Whoever approved that headline is insulting the intelligence of the Drudge
Report’s readers.As we wrote yesterday
<[link removed]>, Trump acknowledging the
reality that Russia is winning its war and Ukraine must therefore make
concessions for peace does not make him a Putin stooge. It means he has common
sense and, unlike Joe Biden, wants the bloodshed to stop.

Aside from that, would a Putin blackmail victim really sanction Russia during
each of his terms and drop bombs on the country’s ally, Iran? Come on. It’s too
stupid to take seriously.Read more

MATT GAETZ: Trump Should Offer NATO Membership to Russia


What if Russia joined NATO?

Bill Clinton entertained the idea in the 90s, and Vladimir Putin says he was
open to it. Such a partnership could conclusively achieve the alliance’s
original goal of ensuring peace between Russia and the West, serving as a
harmonious resolution to one of history’s most dangerous rivalries. If both
parties engaged in good faith and honored their commitments, would there be any
downside?

Matt Gaetz pitched the proposal during his show last night, and we’ve written
about it before <[link removed]>, too. Much
of Washington’s establishment would look at you like you had three heads for
considering the concept. That suggests it’s probably worth a shot.

These Boys Didn’t Want a Girl to Record Them in Their Locker Room. Their
School Suspended Them.


A girl walks into a boys’ locker room and nonconsensually films the people
inside. She does it in pursuit of the apparent thrill ofcatching a reaction
from the boys she puts on video.

That sounds like a scene of sexual harassment, right? The Virginia school
district in which it happened agrees. But they think the victims were the ones
doing the harassing.

Loudoun County Public Schools has reportedly suspended two high school boys
after they expressed discomfort with a female student recording them in their
locker room, disciplining them for “sexual harassment and sex-based
discrimination” for daring to complain about the ordeal. Loudoun County schools
is the same system that allegedly attempted tocover up a transgender sexual
assault
<[link removed]>
in 2021. Go figure.

Trump Pledges Executive Order on Eliminating Mail-in Ballots and Electronic
Voting Machines


Donald Trump reiterated his aim to rid America of mail-in voting and
electronic voting machines on Monday, writing on Truth Social that the
country’s embrace of both ballot-casting methods is “A COMPLETE AND TOTAL
DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!!”

You can see the president’s full post here
<[link removed]>. It is
rooted in common sense. Electronic voting machines create uncertainty.
Reasonable people can distrust technology’s tallies simply because humans are
not generating them. Feeling that way doesn’t make you a “threat to democracy.”
It shows you care about ensuring integrity without a shadow of doubt.

France’s elections are conducted under those guidelines, and we don’t hear
Democrats questioning Emmanuel Macron’s legitimacy. America should follow its
oldest ally’s lead.Read more

Texas Opens Largest Ever Illegal Immigrant Detention Site


The Trump administration has opened the largest immigrant detention center in
U.S. history, built to hold up to 5,000 detainees by 2027.

The facility, called “Lone Star Lockup,” currently houses 1,000 beds and sits
on the edge of the Texas-New Mexico border. It exists in conjunction with Army
base Fort Bliss, which is home to 90,000 service members.

Open-border activists will doubtlessly decry Lone Star Lockup as some sort of
concentration camp. If that were true, it would be a pretty nice one. The
facility has space for legal access, medical treatment, recreation, and meals.

“This is a place where up to a thousand criminal aliens will be detained
pending their repatriation or return to their country of origin,” Senator John
Cornyn said during a recent site visit. “We’re not talking about gardeners,
housekeepers, or people like that. We’re talking about as many as 291,000
individuals who are called criminal aliens with criminal charges pending or
criminal convictions who have exhausted all of their legal remedies,” he added.

MSNBC Gets a New Name


MSDNC jokes are about to be obsolete.

MSNBC announced an unexpected name change on Monday, debuting a new brand and
logo scheme in the wake of the network’s split from NBCUniversal. Comcast
announced plans to spin off most of NBC’s cable networks into a separate,
publicly traded company called Versant last year.

The new name is My Source News Opinion World, which is long for MS NOW. The
logo does not feature NBC’s famous peacock design. Versant expects the change
to take effect this fall.

It’s easy to predict what conservatives, ourselves included, will call the
network under its new name: BS NOW. All BS, all the time.Read more

Firefighters Rescue Man Stuck in Playground Tube Slide


You’ve probably heard the story of William Howard Taft and the bathtub. Legend
has it that the 300-pound commander in chief’s round build caused him to get
stuck while bathing, requiring six White House aides and a load of butter to
pry him out. Although the tale is likely a myth, something similaractually
happened over the weekend.

Connecticut first responders rescued a man from being stuck in a playground
tube slide on Saturday, deploying ventilation equipment, an aerial ladder, and
an oxygen delivery device to get the 40-year-old out. Fire, police, and EMS
personnel arrived at the scene to find the victim “wedged feet and head first
down the slide and stuck in the middle portion.” Photos show the man had
somehow ended up sideways, with his body folded at the waist.

Firefighters removed a section of the slide to execute the rescue. We hope
Northeast Elementary School can repair it in time for students’ return from the
summer.

Commentary


“It Doesn’t Matter if They’re Children”


Newly leaked audio
<[link removed]>
reveals the former head of Israeli military intelligence calling the deaths of
tens of thousands of Gazan civilians “necessary and required for future
generations.” The quote from IDF Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, whomThe Guardian
reports “is widely seen as a centrist critic of the current [Israeli]
government,” is below. Emphasis is ours.

“For everything that happened on October 7, for every one person on October 7,
50 Palestinians must die.It doesn’t matter now if they are children… The fact
that there are already 50,000 dead in Gaza is necessary and required for future
generations.”

There’s a lot here.

Think about the talking points Israel shills like Mark Levin have spent the
past two years shoving down America’s throat.

The IDF is a moral army committed to preventing civilian deaths. They’re only
going after Hamas. It’s self-defense. The death counts are fake.

Haliva’s quote debunks those lies. He admits that the Gaza “war” has killed
at least 50,000 people, which Benjamin Netanyahu still denies. He says
point-blank that whether the dead were children means nothing; he just wants
blood. And he doesn’t describe the killing of innocents as a crime, a tragedy,
or even a necessary evil. He says itmust happen. That’s not defense. It’s
offense.

How is this not terrorism? Everyone uses the word to describe the October 7th
Hamas attack, and they’re right. The Islamic Resistance Movement deliberately
killed hundreds of innocents in pursuit of its political aim. That day’s
horrors fit the definition like a glove. So does the Israeli government’s
response. If killing 1,000 people is terrorism, then killing50 times as many
definitely is, too. Especially if the force executing said killing says the
deathsmust happen, regardless of whether the victims are kids. That’s Nazi
shit. The religion of the people doing it does not matter.

Another of the Israel shill community’s favorite tactics is saying that
caring about this is “weird.” Ted Cruz did just that during hisrevealing
appearance <[link removed]> on The Tucker
Carlson Show, not so slyly implying that any American who focuses on Israel’s
war crimes is an antisemite. That is nonsense. Yes, ruthless leaders do brutal
things all around the world. Look no further than the State Department’srecent
China report
<[link removed]>
for proof. So why do we write more about Israel’s behavior than the CCP’s? Is
it because we hate Judaism? Of course not.It’s because the U.S. government is
funding the atrocities. It’s not complicated or hateful.

Speaking of Senator Cruz, the Haliva audio reminds us of something else he
said that day.The part about God apparently requiring the United States to send
billions of dollars to the government of Israel
<[link removed]>. At the time, we wondered
how the lawmaker could rationalize that belief. When the Book of Genesis says
those who bless Israel will be blessed, it means the 21st-century political
entity that is the Netanyahu government? Not God’s people as a whole? We’re no
theologians, but that doesn’t pass the laugh test.

But let’s say it did. Would that mandated financial commitment have any
conditions? If Jesus’s teachings tell us anything, it’s that violence is bad.
During his arrest at the hands of Pontius Pilate, the Son of God refused to let
his disciples defend him with force,even though he knew of the brutal execution
that awaited him.You’re telling us the same religion that champions that
revolutionary message of peace also requires us to fund the killing of children?
To dump our hard-earned money into a country that views the slaughter of tens
of thousands of people,even if they’re not a threat, as “necessary and
required” and says “it doesn’t matter” if they are kids? What if the killing
got even worse? If 50,000 became 500,000 or 5,000,000? Would it make a
difference? Or would those opposed to the endless payments still be haters and
bigots? We know Cruz reads this newsletter. We’d love to hear his answer.

Then there’s Lindsey Graham. You may have seen the speech
<[link removed]> that frothing senator
gave last week.

“Israel is not the bad guy,” he proclaimed. “They’re the good guy… I haven’t
lost my vision of right and wrong.”

Again, we wonder if the Haliva recording changes the lawmaker’s stance. The
“good guy” condones killing children? Is it possible that neither the Israeli
government nor Hamas is the “good guy”? And that the United States should stop
getting involved in their mess and finally put America first? Graham is also
warmly welcomed to join our podcast to answer those questions and more. He
knows where to find us.

On a final note, it is worth acknowledging that this story is hardly the
first time an insider of America’s “special ally” has said the quiet part out
loud about their vision for the Middle East.

The country’s finance minister promoted plans
<[link removed]> to build over 3,000 settler
homes in the occupied West Bank just last week, calling the plot to “bury”
Palestinian statehood “Zionism at its best.”

Less than 30 days before that, Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu
<[link removed]>
boasted that his government “is racing ahead for Gaza to be wiped out” and
that “all Gaza will be Jewish.”

And who could forget in 2023, when Netanyahu himself
<[link removed]> took to the United Nations to
flaunt a regional map with Gaza and the West Bankcompletely purged. What
further proof do we need that this entire thing is about colonization and
border expansion? They’re not even hiding it. You just have to be willing to
look.

If you’re reading this newsletter, chances are you’re a U.S. taxpayer. That
means your money is advancing this agenda. Are you okay with that?

America’s Israeli military funding pledge expires in 2028.

This Day in History


August 19, 1991: A coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev. High-ranking Soviet
government, military, and KGB hard-liners placed President Gorbachev under
house arrest in response to his liberal reforms. The group believed Gorbachev’s
efforts to restructure the economy, increase diplomacy, and improve relations
with the West were driving the USSR toward its downfall, and viewed Gorbachev’s
resignation as the solution. The rebels claimed the president was ill and
declared a state of emergency when he refused to comply. The effort collapsed
after three days, but its fallout damaged Gorbachev’s government for the rest
of its reign. He eventually resigned in 1991, and Boris Yeltsin, one of the
coup’s most staunch opponents, emerged as post-Soviet Russia’s most dominant
figure.Read more
