Planned Parenthood Ramps Up Child Vivisection Thanks To Tax Dollars thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

This July, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars flooded back to abortion businesses after Congress failed to extend a defunding provision for Planned Parenthood.

President Donald Trump championed multiple funding roadblocks for abortion providers in 2025, and rescinded Hyde Amendment violations instituted by the Biden administration. His efforts culminated in a year-long ban on Medicaid reimbursements for abortion providers. Congress passed this as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, and signed into law July 4, 2025.

Congress had multiple opportunities to extend the ban over the last year, including a proposed amendment to Reconciliation Package 2.0, but they failed. So America’s largest abortion chain, Planned Parenthood, celebrated returned taxpayer funding on July 5 in its social media and friendly news coverage. Alongside grants, this federal funding historically accounts for more than 40 percent of Planned Parenthood’s annual revenue. One organization official described the expiration as “immediate operational relief,” though insufficient to recoup the year of lost income.

Crooked Minnesota Democrat Attorney General has gone viral for apparently saying the quiet part out loud regarding the Democrats’ scheme to obtain power at all costs.

While speaking at a rally in Minneapolis on Monday for far-left Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who is running for the Senate, Ellison seemed to reveal the Democrats’ game plan to seize the midterms.

Ellison bragged that not only were Democrats going to get every person who was not old enough to vote in 2024, but also those who were not naturalized citizens.

Cuba Built a Network of American Activist Groups to Turn Against U.S. Policy › American Greatness amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:

A new State Department report contends Cuba has spent years quietly building a network of sympathetic American activist groups it can mobilize against U.S. policy, citing a recently circulated nationwide protest plan as evidence.

The plan, distributed in June as the “National Rapid Response Plan,” came from the National Network on Cuba (NNOC), a U.S. coalition of more than 60 organizations. The State Department ties the coalition to Havana through the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, or ICAP, a Cuban entity sanctioned in June over alleged support for Cuban intelligence operations.

The document instructs organizers to launch “coordinated nationwide actions” within 24 hours of any U.S. strike on Cuba, aiming to make it “politically and materially costly for the U.S. government to wage war on Cuba.” The report calls the plan proof of Cuba’s “subversive capabilities on American territory.”

Organizers are told to converge on federal buildings, courthouses, military bases and ICE facilities. The plan seeks to “connect Cuba solidarity to anti-ICE/immigrant defense work happening nationwide” and points activists to a database mapping 1,335 U.S. military and law-enforcement sites in the Western Hemisphere.

President Trump’s DOJ Found A “Shadow” Admissions System At A Major Medical School wltreport.com

The Supreme Court told America’s universities that race could no longer be used as an admissions shortcut.

President Trump’s Justice Department now says one of the nation’s major medical schools responded by building a new system behind the old one.

It had neutral-sounding labels. It had separate applicant pools.

And according to federal investigators, it was designed to keep producing racial preferences after the Supreme Court had ordered them out.

The school is the University of California San Diego School of Medicine.

President Donald Trump is meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun for the first time on Tuesday, as the two leaders discuss a Lebanese proposal to target Hezbollah terrorists that control swaths of the Middle Eastern country.

The pair are holding talks around 11 a.m. ET at the White House in Washington, D.C, Tuesday, after Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Aoun on Sunday. The meeting comes after Israel, which borders Lebanon, invaded the country to target Hezbollah terrorists. The Trump administration has been involved in talks to negotiate Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon.

Haitians Are Self-Deporting At Extreme Rates www.louderwithcrowder.com

EXCERPT:

Can anyone name one positive benefit for Americans since the tens of thousands of Haitians moved to Springfield, Ohio? No? I didn’t think so. This is why there should be nothing but celebrations over reports of 80% of them self-deporting, as this can only bring good things to the country.

Per Spectrum News:

Haitian families are leaving Ohio over the uncertainty surrounding their immigration status.

A U.S. The Supreme Court decision last month allows the Trump administration to end their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

While it is great that SCOTUS sided on the “right side of history,” the amount of damage caused by this should not be taken lightly. Officials, both local and all the way to federal, turned a blind eye and slapped Springfield residents in the face, solely because they deemed a group of foreign nationals less fortunate. You cannot return after betrayal like this, and it is astonishing how the media is painting this as if the deportations are a bad thing for Americans.

In one of Ohio’s largest populations of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, community leaders are concerned about another challenge that could create — more vacant homes.

Houses boarded up and abandoned are a reminder of a problem Springfield has spent years trying to fix. But with uncertainty around immigration status and Haitian families moving out because of it, city leaders worry the city could face another wave of empty houses.

Bitter row splits Ukraine’s military leadership after defence minister ousted www.channelnewsasia.com

A soldier serving in Ukraine’s army told AFP the political chaos in Kyiv could hit the war effort.

“For some, replacing a minister is merely a political reshuffle. For us, it can determine whether a needed drone arrives on time, whether essential equipment is purchased,” they said, asking to speak anonymously to criticise the decision.

In a public statement, Syrsky tried to stem the criticism, defending his results and calling to “focus on the war”.

But one of his most senior commanders – a rumoured possible successor – came to Fedorov’s defence and called for the pace of reform to continue.

Joint Forces Commander Mykhailo Drapaty said the army “needs change” and “new rules” as he thanked Fedorov for “not being afraid to tackle issues”.

More Canadians now trust China under Xi than U.S. under Trump: poll – National globalnews.ca
News Source
EXCERPT:

As U.S. President Donald Trump heads into the halfway point of his second term, a new poll suggests more Canadians hold a favourable view of China than they do of the United States.

Recent polling by the Pew Research Center shows that two in five (44 per cent) Canadian respondents held a favourable view of China, while just one in three (33 per cent) said the same about the U.S.

Last year, Canadians were found to be “equally” favourable toward both countries.

Canada has for years been part of an international effort to condemn China for human rights violations against Uyghur people, a largely Muslim minority group that has faced a long-term campaign of detention, and later incarceration, by China.

There are about 12 million Uyghurs living in Xinjiang, which is officially known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). The United Nations (UN) estimated in 2018 that as many as one million Uyghurs were being held in what resembles a “massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy.”

Marco Rubio looks to inspire global crackdown on far-left ‘terrorism’ – thenationalnews.com

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hosting an international summit in Washington on Thursday that aims to address the threat of “far-left political terrorism”.

The administration of President Donald Trump says countries around the world have a blind spot for what US officials see as a rising wave of left-wing political violence.

Mr Trump has clamped down on left-wing groups, particularly Antifa, and has proclaimed that the decentralised anti-fascist movement is a domestic terrorist organisation. Antifa has frequently protested against his hardline immigration enforcement.

Mr Trump has also blamed left-wing extremism for the killing of ​conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah last year.

At least 65 countries have been invited to attend Thursday’s day-long event. A ⁠senior State Department official told reporters that some interior or foreign ministers would be among those attending.

The summit would help counter-terrorism officials to discuss what the Trump administration says is a growing and sophisticated global threat, the official said.

“Far-left political terrorism is resurgent, manifesting in violent terrorist acts across the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Asia and beyond,” the State Department said in a statement. “These are not isolated incidents. They reflect a deliberate, ideologically motivated strategy to destabilise free societies”.

A 14-year-old boy arrested by British police has been charged with a crime related to “terrorism” over an alleged plot to target local mosques.

London’s Metropolitan Police revealed the charge against the unnamed boy on Wednesday, saying he was suspected of preparing to carry out an “act of terrorism” in connection with “extreme right-wing” ideology.

“This is a very ⁠serious terrorism charge ⁠against a young boy and likely to be highly concerning to the public and ⁠the local community,” said Helen Flanagan, head of ⁠counterterrorism policing in London.

Police said they did not believe the ‌case pointed to a wider threat, but added that they had contacted the mosques, located in south London’s Sutton area, and offered advice and support.

“We know this will be particularly concerning to the Muslim community and we are working closely with the venues affected to ensure they are kept updated and to provide advice, support and reassurance, and this will continue,” said Flanagan.

A report circulating Monday claims President Donald Trump is preparing to make a major announcement involving Georgia’s two Democrat senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

The report, citing a “well-placed source in Georgia,” alleges Trump plans to declare Ossoff and Warnock “illegitimate because of fraud.”

According to the post, the announcement could come as soon as Monday evening.

Neither Trump nor the White House has publicly confirmed the report.

No official details have been released.

As of publication, the alleged announcement remains unverified.

An illegal immigrant in Biddeford, Maine has been shot dead by an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent after he allegedly tried to run over the agent with his car.

Senator Angus King (I-Maine) said that Homeland Security  officials told him the 26-year old man had been ordered to leave the country and that he had “weaponized the vehicle.”

King and Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) told reporters they’ve learned little from federal agencies about the shooting, and said they believe the ICE agents were not equipped with body cameras.

An eye witness who drove by the scene as it was enfolding, corroborated what DHS told Sen. King.

The man told the Portland Press Herald that the driver was told multiple times to stop by an ICE agent, but instead of stopping, he put the car in drive and drove toward the officer.

“As I was approaching, you could see flashing blue lights,” the witness said. “The ICE agent was yelling and drew his weapon,” he continued. “And he kept yelling and yelling and warning the person driving—which is when the car was put into drive and was trying to hit the ICE officer—and he fired probably four shots at him.”

The writing was on the wall last month when only 4 Democratic members of the Senate Armed Services Committee voted against the NDAA. The defense funding bill was doomed to fail as Republicans put forward legislation that called for $1.15 trillion for the Department of Defense and to deepen military and intelligence ties to Israel.

Both of those points were non-starters for Senate Democrats.

The final vote was 50-46. Every Democrat who was present voted no. Republicans Jim Justice of West Virginia and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and Democrats John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Alex Padilla of California did not vote.

Reuters reported:

Democrats are concerned that authorizing a huge Pentagon budget would be seen as approval of the war on Iran that began with strikes by the U.S. and Israel on February 28. They also object to the Trump administration’s push to increase military spending to a total of $1.5 trillion this year, including several hundred million dollars he has requested in a separate spending bill, even as social programs for Americans are being cut.

The procedural vote on the NDAA that failed in the Senate marks a major turning point in support for Israel and defense funding.

On Tuesday, the DHS was heavily criticized after telling ICE agents to halt most vehicle and traffic stops — at least for the time being.

The order came in response to two ICE-involved shootings over the past week.

BREAKING: ICE Agents Ordered to CEASE Vehicle Stops After Recent Shootings

As you might expect, this move proved incredibly controversial.

After all, vehicle stops are one of the most effective strategies that ICE uses to detain illegal aliens.

So, when word reached President Trump, he immediately overturned it!

Lithuania has warned Russia could plan attacks on European countries, also members of NATO, by targeting energy and transport infrastructures. The President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda, suggested security measures in the Baltic countries and Poland should be increased as a precaution.

Mr Nauseda mentioned his concerns during an interview with BNS quoted by Lithuania’s news outlet LRT and said: “We have received such signals from our intelligence services. They do not identify a specific place or time because that is simply impossible to determine. The other side may not even have completed its planning process, and we may only know about the planning itself or the intended objective.”

The Lithuanian President also said: “So yes, I cannot deny that we have such information and that it concerns kinetic operations – not on a large scale, but targeted kinetic operations that are very likely to be directed against critical infrastructure.”

He did not provide evidence to support the assessment or identify potential targets, LRT said.

LONDON — Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that he was leaving the United Kingdom “in better shape than I found it” as he fielded questions, criticism and even a bit of praise from lawmakers in the House of Commons for the last time on Wednesday.

Starmer, who leaves office next week, bid farewell to the boisterous weekly Prime Minister’s Questions sessions where he has traded barbs with opposition politicians and defended his government’s record. On Monday, he will step down as prime minister after losing the support of his Labour Party, handing over power to a new Labour leader, Andy Burnham.

“Every prime minister knows when they take up the torch that the day will come when they have to pass it on,” said Starmer, who has spent six years as leader of the Labour Party and two as prime minister.

“This is the end of my political journey,” he said, though he plans to remain a backbench lawmaker for now.

Alrighty then.

Let’s see what the spineless, gutless and dickless Thune does with it.
A weeks-long impasse was broken. This time, the SAVE America Act is tied to an appropriations bill, meaning there’s a chance—perhaps—in the Senate, because it would not be limited by cloture and filibuster. The Hill: The 215-211 vote delivers a key win for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who had spent weeks trying to unify his conference as conservative hardliners pressed leadership to take more aggressive action on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act and legislation to codify President Trump’s border policies. Johnson ultimately won over Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), both of whom had opposed the rule before the July 4 recess, by advancing a plan to merge the SAVE America Act with a fiscal 2027 appropriations bill funding the State Department and national security programs — a legislative maneuver known on Capitol Hill as “MIRVing” (The Hill).
