GLOBAL OUTLOOK
TRUMP SIGNS IRAN DEAL – President Donald Trump has officially signed a deal with Iran that is effectively a 60-day ceasefire intended to lead to a final peace deal. The U.S. Senate passed a resolution by a vote of 52-48 to stop the Iran War, but that was later changed when two Senators switched their votes, defeating the measure 50-47. For more on the Iran War, read our Deep Dive on pg. 2.
TRUMP SAYS NO SAVE ACT, NO FISA – President Donald Trump has declared he will not sign any legislation renewing the Federal Surveillance Authority (FISA) Act unless it is attached to the SAVE Act. He wrote, “I’m against FISA if it doesn’t come with The Save America Act (Full version!) firmly attached to it.” With the passage by congress of the Housing Affordability Act, it remains to be seen if Trump will carry through with his additional threat of not signing any legislation until the SAVE Act is passed.
PLOT TO MURDER UFC WHITE HOUSE EVENT EXPOSED – The UFC Event staged on the White House Lawn was allegedly almost marred by bombing drones and snipers. According to the FBI, 23 anti-capitalist and anti-Israel activists were plotting to murder Americans on the White House lawn. The alleged ringleader is an illegal alien from Mexico.
They planned on using bombs dropped by drones to direct the audience towards a sniper’s kill zone. The mother of one of the suspected ring leaders is alleged to have provided the warning that helped the FBI uncover the plot. Two more arrests have also been made.
FEDS BUST ANTIFA RING IN MINNESOTA – 15 members of Direct Action Minnesota, or DAMN, have been arrested and charged with several federal felonies, including conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer. Minnesota U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen announced the arrest of the 15 Antifa members. The group has developed coordinated tactics and supplied their members with shields and other gear to equip them for street warfare against ICE and conservative public speakers.
The group states it is “a decentralized coalition of working-class people engaged in various forms of community defense against the current Federal Occupation happening within the wider metro area, and against state and a far-right violence more broadly.”
RESTORE DROPS RAPE GANG REPORT ON BRITISH PEOPLE – Restore Britian’s Rupert Lowe delivered the Rape Gang Inquiry report he promised. The report claims 250,000 mostly white British girls were systematically raped, tortured, and trafficked by mostly Pakistani gangs (95%). These “gangs” involved whole families. Lowe summarized the report, claiming, “The mass rape of vulnerable working class white girls by gangs of primarily Pakistani Muslim men is pure unfettered evil.”
The police and officials persecuted the victims and their parents, and sometimes joined in the acts themselves. The primary driver of the rapes was Islamism. The primary driver for the cover-up was anti-white ideology as practiced by the British police. The report shows white rape gangs also exist, and their victims were met with the same persecution and indifference.
STARMER STEPS ASIDE FOR BURNHAM – After Andy Burnham handily won the special by-election in Makerfield, Keir Starmer took less than a week to officially announce his intention to resign as Britian’s Prime Minister. Members of his cabinet have been quick to endorse Burnham in the leaders’ race, which is looking more like a coronation at this point.
Starmer has stated no significant policy changes will be made until the new Prime Minister takes power. This puts a pause on their push to force British citizens to use digital ID every time they access the internet in the name of protecting children.
MAMDANI’S ANTI-AMERICAN PROGRESSIVES SWEEP NY DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES – Zohran Mamdani went three-for-three in his effort to win U.S. House nominees for his anti-American socialist movement, his new world order, the progressive state. Bernie Sanders also endorsed the same far-left candidates. He is becoming the center of the real power of the Democratic Party as it completes its transition from an American leftist party to an anti-American communist party.
NEO-NAZI GETS LOVER AND $1.2 MILLION FROM SPLC – A Southern Poverty Law Center executive is accused of being the lover of the head of a Neo-Nazi group in a DOJ indictment filing. The document alleges an executive believed to be Heidi Beirich funneled $1.2 million to her lover. Those payments were part of a larger set of $4 million in total payments. The SPLC is accused of paying the group to stage racist events that would then be cited in their fundraising campaigns.
SENATE GOP FUNDS DHS, KEEPS TRUMP LAWFARE HOPES ALIVE – By a vote of 49-50, a vote to eliminate the formation of a future fund for lawfare victims of the Biden administration failed. The Senate GOP also managed to pass $70 billion for immigration enforcement funding through the DHS. The Senate engaged in an all-night voting session that lasted into the early morning hours.
BELFAST BEHEADING ATTEMPT TRIGGERS NATIVE UPRISING – If Northern Ireland is a bellwether of what’s to come in broader Britian, the ordered protests in front of police stations are about to be replaced with organized targeted assaults on migrant strongholds.
After a Sudanese migrant was caught attempting to behead a disabled Irishman on a street in Belfast, the youth of the city have taken to burning down the migrants’ apartment complexes, as well as targeting any other administrative structures of migrant power. Calls by the progressives of the UK for calm were met with derision.
TRUMP GETS ICE FUNDED – President Trump’s ongoing deportation campaign will continue after he signed the “Secure America Act.” The act funds both ICE and CPB through 2029, taking funding out of the hands of the courts and the Democrats altogether.
President Trump said, “We’ll give the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol… the support and resources they need to defend our borders, protect our homeland and to keep America safe… [The Democrats] want to drag us straight back to chaos and crime.”
PROGRESSIVE JUDGES DROP JUDGEFARE HAMMER ON TRUMP – Several rulings by progressive judges have stopped or hindered numerous Trump policies just this past week. These include orders that affect Mail-in voting, Federal building protections from terrorist Antifa attackers, voter roll validations, voter ID, illegal arrests at courthouses, and even subpoenas against Minnesota Democrats suspected of committing fraud.
The decision affecting the subpoenas against Minnesota officials, including Governor Tim Walz, captures the extra-constitutional nature of these rulings. U.S. District Chief Judge Patrick J. Shiltz wrote, “This course of events- in and of itself-establishes beyond reasonable dispute that the subpoenas were a part of a broader campaign to coerce state and local officials in Minnesota to assist the Trump administration in its enforcement of immigration laws. And, of course, this campaign played out against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s well-established history of using criminal investigations to retaliate against and pressure the President’s political and personal adversaries.”

MAJOR EARTHQUAKE STRIKES VENEZUELA – A 7.5 magnitude Earthquake has struck Venezuela, with reports of skyscrapers collapsing and thousands feared dead and missing. The official death toll is rapidly changing. At the time of this report, it had crossed 200 dead. 4,000 are confirmed injured and 40,000 are confirmed missing.
The U.S. has pledged aid, as have multiple nations. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted in X that the United States is “immediately deploying search and rescue teams, medical resources, and humanitarian assistance to Venezuela.”
CALIFORNIA GETS A GOP CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR – After the mail-in-vote count eliminated a Republican in the LA Mayor’s race, Republican Steve Hilton looked to be heading for a similar fate. Perhaps the growing suspicion of the legitimacy of that election led California to quickly certify the Republican as the second candidate in the run-off election for Governor.
NAZI-CLAD PROGRESSIVE TAKES DEMOCRATS’ MAINE – Graham Platner, a Democratic Party contender for Maine’s U.S. Senate seat, has officially won his party’s nomination to run against incumbent Senator Susan Collins (R-ME).
Platner overcame a Nazi tattoo and leaked text messages from women he was accused of being sexually inappropriate with. Progressive activists who were the catalyst for his campaign’s success are allegedly regretting their failed vetting process.
PROGRESSIVES ANGRY BLACK MAN CONVICTED OF MURDERING WHITE MAN – Karmelo Anthony has been convicted of first-degree murder for the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf. Both were young men in high school at the time of the murder. Anthony’s conviction has triggered accusations from progressives and black activists that the jury was racist, the parents of the dead boy are racist, and Karmelo should be free to spend his hundreds of thousands of GoFundMe dollars.
White people were attacked by black people for being suspicious of being on the Anthony jury. The jury itself was of mixed race, though progressive state press and progressive leadership continues to spread the lie the jury was all-white.
COLUMBIAN “TRUMP” WINS – The Columbian Trump, Abelardo de la Espriella, has won a close election against his leftist opponent, Senator Ivan Cepeda. The victory was by less than 1%. The election is being contested, but the U.S. has already thrown its support behind the pro-U.S. candidate de la Espriella.
ABSENTEE GOP REPS KEEP GIVING DEMS HOUSE MAJORITY – The GOP’s majority in the House is only 5 votes, 217 to 212. Thanks to a significant handful of GOP representatives taking days off, the House has had a Democratic majority on numerous occasions. So far, the Democrats haven’t exploited this, but it is now on their radar, as politicsususa, a progressive content marketer, has noticed this as well.
INFLATION, AI JOB LOSSES WEIGH DOWN ECONOMY – Bank of America is predicting the Federal Reserve will issue rate hikes by the end of this year in response to rising inflation. They are predicting a three-quarter-point increase in the benchmark rate. General Motors replaced 1,000 workers with “collaborative robots” in one plant alone. Oracle revealed it replaced 21,000 workers with AI solutions so far this year. The loss of jobs through technology, rising inflation, and potential rate hikes portend a poor-performing economy leading up to the November 2026 Midterm elections.
KENYANS KILLED PROTESTING U.S. EBOLA QUARANTINE CENTERS – The U.S.’s plans to build Ebola quarantine centers in Kenya is meeting with protests from Kenyans. The centers are intended to treat American citizens in Africa exposed to the Ebola virus. Protests at one center led to three protestors being killed.

ON HER WAY OUT, GABBARD EXPOSES U.S. BIOLABS AND FAUCI – At one point in America, people were losing their careers for declaring Covid-19 was man-made in a Chinese biolab funded by U.S. dollars. Now, a report has come out that exposes U.S. efforts led by Dr. Anthony Fauci to fund biolabs worldwide, including China’s Wuhan lab. These labs were working on “gain of function” virus research.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard released a comprehensive report exposing a ring of global biolabs funded by the U.S. She announced, “After months of searching through intelligence community holdings and files, today I’m releasing new evidence of long-standing U.S. government funding of more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries… (these U.S. funded biolabs) engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens and, in some cases, included dangerous gain-of-function research with very little visibility or oversight.”
SCOTUS PROTECTS 2A RIGHTS OF MARIJUANA USERS – The Supreme Court of the United States voted unanimously to strike down laws prohibiting regular marijuana users from possessing firearms. The ruling is good news for Hunter Biden, who faced prosecution under a similar federal law. It is also good news for marijuana users in states where the drug is legal.
SCOTUS REJECTS CHALLENGE TO 2A LAWFARE – The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously rejected a bid to challenge a NY state law allowing victims of gun crime to sue gun manufacturers and distributers.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation trade group said of SCOTUS’ refusal to hear the appeal, “NSSF sincerely believes that those criminals who illegally misuse lawful products should be held responsible for the harms they cause when they commit their crimes. Holding the firearm industry responsible for the criminal misuse of a firearm is akin to holding Anheuser-Busch and Ford Motor Company responsible for damages from drunk-driving crimes.”
MAMDANI HAILS “THE BIRTH OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER” – NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has declared his socialist action in New York City “the birth of the new world order.” The statement can be read as an act of insurrection, a declaration of the death of the American republic, and the birth of the Progressive State.
Given the nature of socialism, which assumes no right to free speech, no right to bear arms, no right to due process, no right to private ownership at all, we are inclined to agree with that interpretation.
GOLD CONQUERS U.S. TREASURIES – The world’s top reserve asset is no longer US Treasuries, it’s gold, and that rally is being led by China, with Poland, Kazakhstan, and Brazil joining in the gold buying frenzy.
TRUMP DOWNPLAYS CHINA’S ANTI-DATA CENTER AGIT PROP CAMPAIGN IN AMERICA – President Trump told the press at a White House event he does not think China is engaging in agit prop campaigning to drive Americans to not support AI Data Centers. His response suggested even if China could do such a thing, it wouldn’t be effective.
He claimed, “We had a great meeting with China, and you know they do things to us, and we do things to them. I say it all the time. They say, ‘Oh, are you worried about China tapping your phones?’ I said, ‘Well, they’re worried about the same thing.’ No, we’re very highly sophisticated. We’ve become very highly sophisticated.”
DEMOCRATS DON’T EVEN WANT TO LIVE HERE – An Elon University/YouGov America 250 National Survey showed 55% of Democrats would rather live in another country. 38% of Independents also chose to live in another country, while only 10% of Republicans chose another country.
FCC WANTS YOUR SMARTPHONE ID IN ITS DATABASE – In the name of combatting burner phones, the Federal Communications Division (FCC) is pushing telecoms to hand over all customer IDs. The move challenges the implicit right to privacy from government intrusion found in the Fourth Amendment.
EUROPEANS CONCLUDE THE U.S. IS NOT THEIR FRIEND – A new poll from the European Council on Foreign Relations found that only 1 in 10 Europeans consider the U.S. an ally, while only 50% viewed the U.S. as a “necessary partner.” 25% of those polled consider the U.S. an adversary.
U.S. CLAIMS SOMALIA SOVEREIGN OVER SOMALILAND – President Trump has decided to not recognize the sovereignty of the state of Somaliland. The administration went further in a report from the State Department claiming the U.S. recognizes Somalia as having sovereignty over Somaliland. The report also claims the U.S. is open to cooperating with Somaliland on security issues.
PROFESSIONALS CANNOT QUESTION A CHILD’S GENDER CHOICE IN CALIFORNIA – The Progressive State of California’s SB 934 would make professionals who question the gender choices of non-cis-gendered children liable for civil litigation. The bill would allow professionals to continue to question the gender choices of cis-gendered children.
SB 934 asserts it is “psychological torture” to question a transgendered child, therefore, any professional that questions a transgendered child has already committed damaging and compensatory harm to the child. The statute of limitations begins AFTER the child (who could now be an adult) recalls the damaging therapy.
PEOPLE ADVANCE REPORT
MLB STANDS DOWN IN PRIDE WAR – When players chose not to wear Pride uniforms or put bible verses on their hats in protest, Major League Baseball warned them to not do that again. The DOJ then warned the MLB it was violating players’ rights, triggering a retreat from the league in response.
Rob Manfred, the MLB Commissioner, issued a public statement, claiming, “The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be. Some players apparently did not understand that they had the option to wear their normal uniform and elected to add messages to their hats bearing the pride logo as a result. The Giants players were allowed to wear the hats with the biblical references for the entire game.”
EUROPE SIGNALS END OF MIGRANT FREE RIDE – Right after Sweden announced it would be sending migrants back that failed to pass the “good behavior test,” the EU made a bolder statement. By a vote of 418-218, the EU parliament voted for mass deportation of migrants. After the vote, the parliament erupted with chants of “Send them Back!”
SCOTUS KILLS HAWAII’S ANTI-GUN LAW – The U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 to strike down a Hawaii anti-gun law attempting to prevent Americans from possessing guns while in businesses open to the public. The law required citizens to get express permission from the owner before they enter their premises while in possession of a firearm.
Justice Alito wrote in his decision, “When these permit holders leave home in the morning, not only must they take care to avoid all the territory where the possession of a gun is prohibited outright, but they may also be barred from entering many places that people routinely visit in the course of their daily routines… This regime hobbles what the Second Amendment protects: the right of Americans to carry arms for self-defense as they go about their daily lives. We hold that the law is unconstitutional.”
SCOTUS RULES HAITIANS MUST GO – Haitians and Syrians with Temporary Protection Status had been prevented from being deported by a lower Federal court ruling. That ruling was overturned by SCOTUS in a 6-3 decision. Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the decision, “The TPS statute plainly bars consideration of respondents’ nonconstitutional claims.”
ANTIFA GOES TO PRISON – Eight Antifa street fighters have been sentenced to a combined 450 years in prison for assaulting an ICE facility. The ringleader of the Democrat-inspired, and potentially funded, insurrectionist attack, Benjamin Song, was sentenced to 100 years. Seven more Antifa street fighters will be sentenced on July 1, 2026.
Headlines from progressive content marketing outlets such as the NY Times and the Washington Post refer to the insurgents as “protestors” with “alleged ties to Antifa.”
BIDEN TAPES CLEARED FOR RELEASE – The tapes and transcripts of former President Joe Biden’s testimony related to his handling of classified documents can be released according to a U.S. district judge’s ruling. The files reveal Joe Biden’s level of cognizance while still President. The Heritage Foundation is the one requesting the files. They filed a FOIA request in 2024.
GOP FLORIDA MAP HOLDS – The Florida Supreme Court has ruled no challenges to the new GOP voting district map will be considered before the 2026 election. Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) responded, “The Florida Supreme Court has REJECTED the challenge to the state’s redistricting plan and new map. This assures that the recently enacted map will be in place for the 2026 election.”
AUSTRALIA’S ONE NATION TAKES THE LEAD – Australia’s version of the UKs Restore Britain, One Nation, has taken the lead in a recent national poll, surging ahead of the party in power, Labor, 31% to 30%. This is the first major poll showing One Nation taking an overall lead.
TINA PETERS FREED – “I know that the Democrats are going to cheat. No one’s really addressing the problem that I spent my time in prison as retribution for, and that was exposing the election machines that allow the votes to be flipped. I’m very concerned and burdened with why no one is talking about this.” – Tina Peters, Election Fraud Whistleblower, after being released from prison. She had been locked up for 20 months.
VA PROSECUTORS REJECT PROGRESSIVE GUN LAWS – A growing number of Virginia prosecutors have declared they will not enforce the recent spate of gun control laws passed by the newly elected Progressive State government. The number is up to 17 but is expected to rise.
BOLTON PLEADS GUILTY – Donald Trump’s former National Security advisor, John Bolton, will reportedly plead guilty to classified document handling charges. Bolton was an avid detractor of Trump. He initially called the charges political.
TRANSGENDER SUPPORT PLUMMETS – A recent Gallup poll shows support for people “changing one’s gender” has dropped from 46% in 2021 to 38% in 2026. 60% of Democrats still support the idea while only 5% of Republicans do.
HUMAN MEMORY STORAGE EXPLODES IN ASTROCYTES – A brain cell previously believed to be, at best, a support cell, has turned out to be a source for human memory storage that exponentially exceeds previous models. That brain cell is called an astrocyte. The discovery was made by a team at MIT.
DOORDASH DISHES SPLC – DoorDash’s employees use an app called Deed to facilitate charitable giving and volunteer work. DoorDash has just informed Deed it needs to disregard the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” and allow its employees to choose causes regardless of SPLC’s opinion of them. The move was triggered by the Alliance Defending Freedom, who urged DoorDash to drop the SPLC’s guidance.
