Democrat Lawmakers Say "There Needs to Be Blood" Over Deportations Multiple Democrat members of Congress admit their voters want violence to stop Trump's immigration crackdown. One even said people are calling for lawmakers to get shot—or provoke ICE into shootouts. Meanwhile, a gunman opened fire on Border Patrol agents in Texas, injuring three before being killed. Bryan warns that this rhetoric and violence will only escalate as deportations ramp up under the new Triple B law. ICE Cracks Down on LA's MacArthur Park, Mayor Bass Blames Feds ICE launched its biggest raid yet at MacArthur Park, a hotbed of stolen goods, drugs, and gang activity. Migrants fled as officers swarmed the area. LA Mayor Karen Bass called the operation outrageous, claiming children were playing in the park, but ICE pushed back and promised to return. DOJ and FBI Say Epstein Had No Client List - Contradicting Past Statements The DOJ and FBI now claim Jeffrey Epstein had no list of clients and acted alone, contradicting earlier statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI leadership. Bryan recounts how Epstein's original sweetheart deal in 2008 protected co-conspirators and fueled suspicions of intelligence agency involvement. He says the official conclusion reeks of corruption and cover-up. CIA Under Fire Over Russia Hoax Report A newly declassified report reveals that former CIA Director John Brennan manipulated intelligence to falsely claim Russia helped elect Trump in 2016. Brennan personally pushed the discredited Steele dossier into the Intelligence Community Assessment, bypassed standard procedures, and ensured it was leaked. Bryan calls it treasonous and says Brennan deserves prison for trying to sabotage the Republic. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

Texas Flash Flood Tragedy Sparks Grief and Political Blame Game At least 80 people are dead and 40 more are missing after catastrophic July 4th flooding in Texas Hill Country. Among the victims are 10 girls from a Christian summer camp and the camp's heroic owner, Richard Eastland. Despite early and extensive weather warnings, some Democrats blame Trump's NOAA budget cuts for the disaster. Bryan calls these claims factually wrong and morally reprehensible. Trump's Economy Faces Tariff Deadlines and Debt Market Concerns "Liberation Day" tariffs are set to kick in this Wednesday unless trade deals are finalized. While countries like India and the EU ask for exemptions, agriculture remains a sticking point. Meanwhile, the Trump economy shows strength in jobs and wages, but rising debt levels have bond markets on edge. Economist advice: keep personal debt low. Gaza Truce in the Works as Hamas Control Collapses President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu are expected to finalize a ceasefire. A Hamas fighter admits the group has lost command, paychecks have stopped, and Israeli drones now dominate the skies. With clans taking over and Hamas in shambles, Bryan asks what a truce really means when there's no one left to enforce it.

Mexican Protesters Demand Americans Leave Demonstrators in Mexico City call U.S. "digital nomads" an invasion, blaming them for high rents and cultural erosion. Signs read "Americans go home." Mexico's government defends foreigners, but the protests reflect deepening resentment. UK Opera House Goes Dark When Wind Stops Blowing A British opera house that relies solely on wind power suffers six blackouts during a performance, eventually canceling the show. The story underscores the limits of unreliable green energy, leading Bryan to suggest they rebrand as a House of Blues. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

Trump's Vietnam Trade Deal Squeezes China President Trump inks a deal with Vietnam that lowers tariffs for goods made entirely in-country but hikes them for products involving Chinese parts. The strategy, already seen in UK trade talks, aims to boost U.S. exports while isolating China from global supply chains. Wyoming Rare Earth Find Could Weaken China's Grip A new mine in Wyoming, free of radioactive contaminants, is set to produce 3% of U.S. rare earth needs. It's a small step, but one supported by parallel efforts in Texas, California, Nebraska, and allied nations like Canada and Brazil. USAID Shut Down and Folded Into State Department The U.S. Agency for International Development is officially closed. 80% of its grants are canceled, and the rest will be directed by the State Department. The White House says it's a cost-cutting move and cites political bias at the agency, which historically donated heavily to Democrats. Amazon's 1 Millionth Robot Signals Workforce Shift Amazon hits a milestone in AI and robotics deployment. Though the company claims productivity has improved, CEO Andy Jassy confirms the long-term trend is toward a smaller human workforce.

Elon Musk blasts the bill's price tag and threatens to fund primary challengers to GOP supporters. White House Accelerates Deportations and Denaturalization Efforts Trump authorizes National Guard lawyers to serve as immigration judges at Florida's new "Alligator Alcatraz" facility. Deportations could hit 3,000 per day.

Meanwhile, the Senate fails to pass a Medicaid ban for illegal immigrants, and House Republicans move forward with a bill to deport those arrested for DUIs. LA Sued for Sanctuary Policies, Activists Launch ICE-Tracking App The Trump administration sues Los Angeles for violating the Constitution's Supremacy Clause with its sanctuary city policies. At the same time, a Democrat activist and Antifa supporter launches an app to help migrants avoid ICE agents. Critics warn the app could incite violence against law enforcement, especially as pride in America drops sharply among Democrats, according to new Gallup polling. Hamas Crumbles in Gaza as Netanyahu Eyes Peace Israel's operation in Gaza has killed top Hamas leaders and brought 75% of the territory under Israeli control. Internal resistance to Hamas is growing among Palestinian clans, even as militants continue sporadic attacks.

Operation Midnight Hammer: Did It Truly Cripple Iran's Nuclear Program? New reports from the IAEA and U.S. intel show conflicting views on how much damage the U.S. and Israel inflicted on Iran's nuclear efforts. Bryan uses a Skittles analogy to explain uranium enrichment and assess whether Iran can rebuild. While key facilities were destroyed, Iran's knowledge and possible secret sites remain major concerns. Supreme Court Issues Three Major Rulings with Explosive Dissent The Court upholds Texas' right to require age verification for adult websites, affirms parents' rights to exempt their kids from LGBT curriculum, and limits nationwide injunctions, undercutting past legal blockades against Trump. The majority harshly criticizes Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent, sparking discussion over judicial competence and even murmurs of removal from the bench. NYC Mayoral Candidate Sparks Uproar with Race-Based Tax Proposal Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani proposes shifting taxes from minority neighborhoods to "richer, whiter" areas and calls for abolishing billionaires. Critics demand his denaturalization, citing possible Marxist affiliations at the time of his U.S. citizenship. Bryan suggests the DOJ investigate whether he should be stripped of his citizenship under federal law. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

Faulty Intel Sparks Firestorm Over Iran Strike Assessment A leaked report suggesting Trump's Iran strike was ineffective relied on faulty signals intelligence. Iranian officials intentionally fed disinformation via tapped calls, misleading DIA analysts. Israeli sources confirm the operation's major success. Bryan calls for top DIA officials to be fired and their Iran shop frozen. Tariff Revenue Surges to Record Levels President Trump's tariff policies are paying off with $26.7 billion collected in June so far. Analysts say this could reduce the U.S. deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade without driving inflation. GE Appliances and Liberty Phone Signal Manufacturing Comeback China-owned GE Appliances will move washing machine production to Kentucky, creating 800 jobs. Meanwhile, debate swirls over whether the Trump family's $500 "Made in USA" phone can actually be built domestically. Liberty Phone shows it's possible—just not fancy. Reshoring Cars Faces Hurdles Ford and GM are reshoring car production, but profits and supply chain challenges remain. Mexico's cheaper labor still makes foreign-made cars more profitable. Tariff clarity from the White House is needed to accelerate change. China Prioritizes Europe for Rare Earth Exports, Snubs U.S. Despite promises, China continues restricting rare earth exports to American companies while increasing shipments to Europe. Trump's team may have struck a new deal earlier this week, but details are unclear. Billionaire-Backed Lawyers Block U.S. Mining Projects Democrat donors like Michael Bloomberg are funding "green fellows" to infiltrate state regulatory boards, slowing or halting traditional mining and energy projects while promoting green energy.

But recurring jobless claims rose and federal contractor hiring is plummeting due to Trump's deep spending cuts. Trump Ends Race-Based Federal Contracts Following a court order, the Trump administration eliminated affirmative action in highway and transit funding. Activist groups object, but the administration says it's enforcing the Constitution.

Democrats are furious at the new legal precedent. Military Border Zone Expands 250 Miles Trump's administration extends the special military zone along the Texas border. DHS reports only 80 daily border "gotaways," down from 700 under Biden. Congress Investigates Biden's Auto-Pen Presidency Lawmakers probe who actually signed documents during Biden's decline. Neera Tanden admits she authorized signatures without knowing if Biden approved them. Top aide Anthony Bernal may face subpoena.

New Intel Confirms Iran's Nuclear Program Crippled U.S. and Israeli intelligence confirm with high confidence that Iran's three major nuclear facilities were destroyed in Trump's recent strike. The enriched uranium is believed to be entombed, though not entirely accounted for, with concerns mounting about a possible hidden site under "Pick-axe Mountain." Trump says he may not need a peace deal at all, though inspections could still be critical. Iranian Sleeper Cells Arrested in the U.S. Federal authorities arrest 11 Iranian nationals across the country, including an ex-sniper in Alabama and a Hezbollah-linked man in Minnesota. The arrests come amid heightened fears of retaliation and infiltration following the Iran strike. Media and Deep State Under Fire Bryan criticizes CNN and The New York Times for spreading a low-confidence intel leak that contradicted broader assessments of the strike's success. He also exposes former FBI Director Christopher Wray for allegedly burying 2020 election interference evidence involving a Chinese operation to help Joe Biden. Wray is now under investigation. New York City's Leading Mayoral Candidate Sparks Alarm Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old socialist, proposes radical policies including defunding police, legalizing prostitution, socializing grocery stores, and seizing apartments. Jewish groups and business leaders warn of severe consequences if he wins, while progressives like Ilhan Omar praise his candidacy. Missouri and Oklahoma Lead U.S. Mineral Comeback The two states are reviving domestic production of rare earths, cobalt, and other critical minerals once dominated by China. With government support, these states are building refining facilities, battery plants, and recycling operations that could eventually break U.S. dependence on foreign supplies.

Trump's Iran Strike Faces Scrutiny as Intel Leaks Question Impact CNN and The New York Times report that Trump's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities may have fallen short, citing a leaked low-confidence DIA assessment that claims underground infrastructure and uranium stockpiles survived. Trump and the IAEA dispute the report, with Trump calling it a politically motivated leak and emphasizing the damage done to Iran's nuclear program. Tensions Rise Between Trump and Netanyahu President Trump lashes out at Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for a post-ceasefire bombing run, accusing him of nearly sabotaging the peace deal. Trump also pressed Qatar to rein in Iran, warning both sides that Operation Midnight Hammer and the subsequent ceasefire are his personal diplomatic achievements. Iran's Oil and China's Role in Peace Strategy Trump suggests China can resume buying Iranian oil, potentially as leverage to get Beijing to pressure Tehran into giving up its nuclear program. Chinese state media hints at such a possibility, revealing a new layer to the post-strike diplomacy. U.S. Navy Ammo Supply Worries Mount The U.S. Navy is burning through its SM-3 interceptor missiles at an "alarming rate" defending Israel. Manufacturing constraints and dependence on Chinese rare earth minerals are straining U.S. military readiness, raising concerns about preparedness for a wider war. FBI Shifts Focus from Immigration to Iran Sleeper Cells In response to potential retaliation from Iran, the FBI is redirecting resources to counterterrorism. Past plots by Hezbollah operatives in the U.S. and recent international examples highlight the real and growing threat.

UK Confronts China and its Own Pedophile Cover-up MI5 and MI6 receive nearly a billion dollars to counter China, following a major threat audit. Meanwhile, a long-suppressed report confirms Muslim pedophile gangs operated for decades in the UK, with officials covering it up out of political correctness.
