Consider this juxtaposition: In a few weeks, Washington, D.C., will be the epicenter for America’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. A few months later, Washington, D.C. will likely be led by a democratic socialist for the first time ever.

As of now, democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George has a commanding lead in the Democrat Party’s primary for mayor of the nation’s capital, which occurred on June 16.

Lewis George, the first and only democratic socialist member on the DC City Council since the late 1990s, says her “people-first platform” will “improve the lives of the people in D.C. …by strategically and effectively utilizing all that the government can offer and do.”

Specifically, she wants the government to provide “childcare for all,” “affordable utilities for all,” “arts and culture for all,” “reliable transportation for all,” “good jobs for all,” and “homes for all.”

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, is no evil: that is the current left-wing UK Labour government’s attitude toward the spreading of anti-immigrant “disinformation” online. Last week, Liz Kendall, Labour’s Minister for Science, Innovation, and Shutting Everybody Up, warned of an imminent amendment to her party’s Online Safety Act censorship laws as follows:

What prompted Kendall’s move was the riots that broke out in Belfast, in the UK province of Northern Ireland, last week, after a Sudanese Muslim immigrant tried to saw the head off a partially deaf and disabled local man named Stephen Ogilvie. This was immediately after stabbing Ogilvie in the eyes, making him blind as well as deaf now, too. Reports suggest the victim will lose at least one of his eyes.

The national average price for regular gas dropped again on Thursday, falling below the $4-per-gallon threshold to $3.999, according to AAA. It marked the fourth straight week that gas prices in the country have decreased. Fuel costs have dropped 52 cents per gallon over the last month. Thursday’s gas price decrease comes the day after the United States and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding to end their military conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

It is the first time the national average price for a gallon of regular gas has been below $4 since March 30. Gas prices began to drop across the country shortly after Memorial Day weekend, traditionally recognized as the start of the summer driving season, which usually correlates with higher prices at the pump. A few days earlier, gas prices reached $4.564 per gallon on May 21, a record high price for 2026, and the most expensive national average gas price in the U.S. since 2022. It was also the highest gas price since President Donald Trump took office in either term.

Respecting sovereignty

The second point of the agreement states that both nations are to “undertake to respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to refrain from interfering in each other’s internal affairs”.

Iran is deeply suspicious of Trump, who twice in the past year attacked in the middle of negotiations.

Whether or not the Iranians are willing to compromise could also hinge on their supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, considered more hardline than his father, who was killed along with the new leader’s mother, wife and son in a US-Israeli strike.

The US will also be distrustful, watching to see if Iran is stringing them along, as Trump aides say they have experienced before.

Israel has continued to hammer Hezbollah targets in south Lebanon in defiance of a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. At least one person has died in the attacks despite Lebanon being included in the ‘memorandum of understanding’ on the Iran war. US President Donald Trump’s controversial MOU concedes the inclusion of Lebanon, effectively limiting Israel’s ability to attack Iran’s proxy extension Hezbollah. It has infuriated many Israelis who see the MOU as severely restricting their ability to protect themselves from Hezbollah by attacking it.

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a new six-month military review of the U.S. European posture during the opening and public portion of Thursday’s NATO defense ministers meeting in Brussels.

Led by Hegseth, the Pentagon has made it known that the department intends to reduce its forces, which includes fighter jets, strategic bombers, submarines, and more in Europe, and expects other European countries to fill the gaps left behind. They’ve dubbed the new version of the alliance “NATO 3.0.”

“I’m announcing today, a six-month Department of War review that will examine America’s force posture and basing in Europe — up to six months, could be less,” he said. “Let’s call it the NATO 3.0 review. This review will be conducted with the benefit of input from the United States military from European Command, it will involve consultations with the U.S. Congress and with our allies. But make no mistakes, this will be a real review.”

Chinese cars are a security risk.

That’s the message Washington has been sending the American consumer: Cheaper vehicles aren’t worth exposing sensitive data to theft. Hence the massive tariffs aimed at China.

The difference is that Stellantis is now openly telling investors that these partnerships are central to its long-term strategy.

But while America was focused on keeping brands like BYD and NIO out of local dealerships, the global auto industry quietly found another way in.

And Stellantis just made that strategy official.

Insane. The only mental illness here is the rabid Jew hatred of the left.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services opened an investigation into the the largest professional organization for mental health professionals, the American Psychological Association, after a August 2025 complaint alleging antisemitism and anti-Israel bias in its programs and events. Critics point to APA-sponsored courses on ‘Decolonizing Therapy’ that they say pathologize Zionism and promote the Palestinian liberation struggle in clinical practice, plus unaddressed harassment of Jewish members since the October 7, 2023, attacks. The APA has condemned antisemitism in resolutions and pledged inclusive environments, but faces risks to its federal funding if violations of civil rights laws are found.

What just happened? The UK’s long-expected social media ban for under-16s has finally been confirmed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, though it’s not expected to be introduced until spring 2027. The PM also revealed that livestreaming will be prohibited, while restrictions will be enabled by default for 17-year-olds.

The UK was one of several countries examining potential under-16 social media bans, following the lead of nations such as Australia.

On Monday, Starmer announced a full, rather than partial, ban as he is not “prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children.”

“Social media is making children unhappy, it’s making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them, and it could even be harming their mental health,” the Prime Minister added.

The ban also includes restrictions on online products such as gaming apps, including removing the option to message with strangers.

A majority of law professors feel that they cannot express their opinions on controversial topics for fear of backlash from students, other faculty, or administrators, according to a new report released by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).

The report, based on surveys with 1,959 law school faculty members, shows an academic environment in which law school faculty endorse First Amendment principles, but struggle to practice them. FIRE is a free speech advocacy group known for its legal work, College Free Speech Rankings, and university faculty polling — but this new report represents the group’s first foray into law school faculty polling.

Nearly 70 percent of respondents said they wanted protection under the First Amendment for speech that listeners may find “deeply offensive.” But 56 percent admitted to withholding controversial opinions to avoid campus backlash.

Donald Trump would never have been president without rural America. One of the greatest contradictions, or some would say con jobs, in American history was pulled off as a New York City creature passed himself off as relatable and sharing the concerns of rural America.

To anyone with a discerning eye, it was clear that Trump didn’t understand or care about rural America. Even rural Americans would admit this fact on occasion, but they liked Trump because he talked about them, and he played on their mistrust of elites by selling himself as an outsider who had been inside enough to confirm their suspicions about “the swamp.”

Rubio And Hegseth Face Admin Threat For Opposing New Deal: ‘May Pay A Personal Price’– crooksandliars.com

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s jobs may be at stake if they continue to oppose President Donald Trump’s Iran deal, a senior White House official warned.

The threat emerged in a report published Sunday by the right-leaning Israeli daily Israel Hayom, which detailed a bitter internal White House battle over the emerging memorandum of understanding with Tehran.

“The debate has been settled. Those who oppose it may pay a personal price,” a senior US official told the outlet.

According to the report, Vice President JD Vance, envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump envoy Jared Kushner have driven the push for a deal, arguing the Iranian regime is unlikely to collapse soon and that Gulf states — particularly Qatar — have pressed hard for an agreement.

Rubio and Hegseth argued the opposite: that Iran is buckling under economic pressure and Washington should tighten the screws, not ease them. The two men had been the public faces of that harder line — touting “Project Freedom,” a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force, only for Trump to shelve it hours after they publicly praised it.
