TRUMP’S NEXT SCALP?
After taking down RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy, President Trump is gunning
for his next target: Rep. Thomas Massie.
Massie, a libertarian-conservative who has frequently broken with
Trump, faces a Trump-endorsed challenger in today’s Kentucky GOP
primary — and Trump is pulling out all the stops to take him down.
“The worst Congressman in the long and storied history of the
Republican Party is Thomas Massie,” Trump said on Monday. “He is
an obstructionist and a fool. Vote him out of office.”
Massie challenger Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL personally recruited
by the president, has the momentum in recent polling.
A Massie loss would mark Trump’s second high-profile scalp in three
days.
IRAN ON THE BRINK
President Trump just called off a military strike on Iran — for
now.
On Monday, Trump revealed that a U.S. attack on Iran was scheduled for
Tuesday but he held off at the request of Gulf allies, who urged him
to give negotiations one more chance.
But he instructed War Secretary Pete Hegseth and military leaders
“to be prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of
Iran, on a moment’s notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is
not reached.”
Tehran is now on the clock.

MARYLAND’S MAIL-IN DISASTER
This is why conservatives oppose mail-in “voting.”
Maryland is scrambling to resend roughly 400,000 mail-in ballots after
a vendor “error” sent voters ballots for the wrong political party
ahead of the state’s June 23 primary.
Officials admit they can’t determine which voters got the wrong
ballot, so every voter who requested one before May 14 is getting a
replacement.
“I’m going to ask the Attorney General of the United States, and
the DOJ, to bring an immediate investigation into this situation,”
President Trump said, blaming Maryland’s Democrat Gov. Wes Moore.
“He allowed this to happen in order to make sure that Democrats
win.”
TRUMP’S ‘1776’ WEAPONIZATION FUND
President Trump just turned the tables on the Biden DOJ.
On Monday, the DOJ announced the creation of a $1.776 billion
“Anti-Weaponization Fund” to compensate Americans who were
targeted by the Biden administration’s weaponized federal
government, including J6 defendants and Trump allies.
The fund — note the symbolic 1776 figure — was created as part of
a settlement in Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his
tax returns.
“The machinery of government should never be weaponized against any
American, and it is this Department’s intention to make right the
wrongs that were previously done while ensuring this never happens
again,” Acting AG Todd Blanche said.
MAMDANI VS. REAGAN
Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani just made Ronald Reagan’s point
for him.
At a Monday press conference announcing the city’s second
government-run grocery store, Mamdani took aim at Reagan’s famous
warning about government.
"He famously said the nine most terrifying words in the English
language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
It’s a good quote, but I disagree,” Mamdani said. “I think nine
more terrifying words are actually, ‘I worked all day and can't feed
my family.’”
Reagan’s quote stands the test of time. Now, working-class New
Yorkers are about to find out why.
