The Trump Economy Is Booming, and the Panicans Are Shattered– townhall.com

The inability to get Trump, for lack of a better term, reared its head again, as the legacy media and the panicans were left shattered and bloody over the latest economic report. They were lusting for a recession. They were hoping the tariffs would increase prices—neither of those things happened. Instead, what we got was a robust report of three percent economic growth in the second quarter. The experts were wrong again. They were off about inflation, tariffs—when will they hide away in a cave in abject shame? You don’t get it. You never will, and it’s time to admit you’ll never beat Trump, ever. Also, Powell, cut the rates, a sentiment echoed in White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s statement on today’s robust economic news:

 

Today, GDP growth came in above market expectations, and yesterday, consumer confidence rose. Americans trust in President Trump’s America First economic agenda that continues to prove the so-called ‘experts’ wrong. President Trump has reduced America’s reliance on foreign products, boosted investment in the US, and created thousands of jobs — delivering on his promise to Make America Wealthy Again. The data is clear, and there are no more excuses — now is the time for ‘too late’ Powell to cut the rates!”

Further Data Shows Media Wildly Overestimated Number Of Trans Troops– thefederalist.com

In the weeks surrounding Trump’s inauguration, the left-wing media insisted the administration’s effort to remove trans troops from the military would weaken the force — some outlets fearmongered that up to 15,000 service members would be booted. But numbers recently obtained by journalist Chris Bray from the Department of Defense indicate that only four “transgender servicemembers” have been “removed from the military so far under the new Trump administration policy.”

In May, the Department of Defense released a memo laying out how “Service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria may elect to separate voluntarily.” At the time, the agency estimated 1,000 troops who self-identified as having gender dysphoria would “begin the voluntary separation process.” According to Bray’s reporting, citing a DoD official, of 1,404 troops who self-identified as of May, only four have completed the process of separation. The rest are “pending.”

Nonetheless, as Bray also notes, the media will surely continue pushing the claim that Trump’s efforts to “prioritize military excellence” will boot “thousands” from the force.

We Again Call On DOJ To Investigate The Rhode Island Foundation’s Role In Providence Schools’ Anti-White Teacher Program– legalinsurrection.com

The bottom line is that the Providence Public School District (PPSD) is under investigation not only by the EEOC, but also by the U.S. Department of Justice for the “Educator of Color Loan Forgiveness Program” in which the Rhode Island Foundation (RIF) played an instrumental role in crafting and funding. But while PPSD is under formal investigation, RIF is not (to our knowledge).

Will RIF, run by former Congressman and House Floor Impeachment Manager against Trump, ever be held accountable? If not for RIF, the school district never could have or would have implemented this discriminator program.

So consider this another call from the Equal Protection Project for a civil rights investigation of the Rhode Island Foundation.

I had a chance to talk about that with popular radio host Matt Allen Show on WPRO in Providence. Matt has been a stand up guy, willing to have me on repeated to cover against a Rhode Island media cone of silence on the story. What amounts to the biggest racism scandal in Rhode Island in decades perpetrated by the largest charity through the largest public school district (which is run by the State Dept. of Education) gets a lot of national coverage, but almost no local coverage.

We have received substantial national media coverage, including a viral Fox News Digital story, but Rhode Island media is burying this story. Why is that?

Nation’s Largest Teachers’ Union Erases Jews From the Holocaust– legalinsurrection.com

Largest Teachers’ Union in United States Erases Jews From the Holocaust

The nation’s largest teachers’ union plans to promote a version of Holocaust remembrance that does not mention Jews, according to its 2025 handbook, which references “victims of the Holocaust from different faiths” and teaches that Israel was founded through “forced, violent displacement and dispossession,” its most recent guide for members shows.

The National Education Association, which represents nearly three million public school teachers and education workers, outlined the priorities in its 2025 handbook. The NEA publishes the document each year as a guide on the group’s priorities and strategic goals for the association’s national and state leaders, staff, and members. It includes the NEA’s bylaws and is updated with any new resolutions and policy positions the union has endorsed.

The news comes amid a surge in both anti-Semitism and anti-Israel extremism at public schools and within teachers’ unions themselves. The NEA Representative Assembly—the union’s parliamentary body—passed a resolution to boycott the Anti-Defamation League’s Holocaust education materials earlier this month, a vote the union’s leadership rejected.

NY Times Forced To Admit Truth About Viral Photo Of Supposedly Starving Palestinian Child– wltreport.com

Most mainstream media outlets have made it clear in recent years where their loyalties lie regarding the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

But while rational observers can disagree about how both sides have reacted in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack, the use of misleading photos to manipulate the narrative should never be deemed acceptable.

That’s what the New York Times essentially admitted it did with a photo originally presented as a severely malnourished child in Gaza.

A little legwork by a watchdog group called Honest Reporting helped expose the misrepresentation, as Breitbart reported:

The New York Times admitted Tuesday that an emaciated Palestinian child it featured on the the front page suffered from “pre-existing health problems” that it had presented, inaccurately, as the result of starvation.

There is an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza — the result of poor food distribution, not low supply, as Hamas and armed gangs loot aid convoys. Hamas also refuses to release Israeli hostages and end the war.

As Breitbart News reported, the child, photographed by Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim Al-arini of the Turkish Anadolu agency, had a muscular disorder. Few outlets that ran the photo disclosed that fact to readers.

Oprah Opens Her Private Road in Hawaii amid Tsunami Evacuations, Denies Blocking Access as Backlash Brews– www.breitbart.com

Accusations a private road running through Oprah Winfrey’s estate on the Hawaiian island of Maui remained closed as local residents attempted to move to higher ground following a tsunami warning overnight were rebutted Wednesday morning.

As Deadline notes, a statement issued to the media said staff managing the estate immediately cooperated with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as news of the potential tsunami broke and warnings of gridlock on local roads went public.

“As soon as we heard the tsunami warnings, we contacted local law enforcement and FEMA to ensure the road was opened. Any reports otherwise are false,’ it read.

The statement, which followed in the wake of multiple social media posts suggesting the road was closed, was also backed up by the Maui Police Department, which, in an earlier advisory, announced that “Oprah’s road is open to get Upcountry.”

The statement acted to rebut criticisms spreading on social media that she had closed the access route. Oprah had not.

To the great disappointment of Trump haters, many Europeans, and too many others of that ilk not worth contaminating this site by mentioning their names, the nonpartisan and factual Conference Board calmly announced early this morning: US Consumer Confidence Inched Up in July

The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® improved by 2.0 points in July to 97.2 (1985=100), from 95.2 in June (revised up by 2.2 points). The Present Situation Index — based on consumers’ assessment of current business and labor market conditions — fell 1.5 points to 131.5. The Expectations Index — based on consumers’ short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions — rose 4.5 points to 74.4. But expectations remained below the threshold of 80 that typically signals a recession ahead for the sixth consecutive month. The cutoff date for preliminary results was July 20, 2025.

“Consumer confidence has stabilized since May, rebounding from April’s plunge, but remains below last year’s heady levels,” said Stephanie Guichard, Senior Economist, Global Indicators at the Conference Board. “In July, pessimism about the future receded somewhat, leading to a slight improvement in overall confidence. All three components of the Expectation Index improved, with consumers feeling less pessimistic about future business conditions and employment, and more optimistic about future income.”

“The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell’s attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”

Ghislaine Maxwell’s request for congressional immunity in exchange for her testimony has reportedly been denied. This comes as the House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Maxwell, who is set to appear in a hearing on August 11.

A spokesperson for the committee told the Daily Mail, “The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell’s attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”

Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, sent a document for the letter demanding that conditions be met in exchange for her testimony. “Public reports—including your own statements—indicate that the committee intends to question Ms. Maxwell in prison and without a grant of immunity. Those are non-starters,” the letter stated.

“Ms. Maxwell cannot risk further criminal exposure in a politically charged environment without formal immunity. Nor is a prison setting conducive to eliciting truthful and complete testimony. The potential for leaks from such a setting creates real security risks and undermines the integrity of the process,” the letter continued.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice and girlfriend of child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, is threatening to withhold critical information during her testimony before the House Oversight Committee, unless her demands are met.

Maxwell is due to appear before congressional investigators following a subpoena that was issued last week.

The deposition is part of ongoing efforts by Congress to investigate the full extent of Epstein’s sex crimes and the individuals involved.

Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in procuring underage girls for Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and personal abuse, has submitted a letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

Her letter outlines three major conditions before she would agree to testify before Congress.

In the letter, Maxwell’s legal team argues that they need formal immunity for her testimony.

Two young girls and an adult man are dead after a huge explosion tore through a Nebraska biofuels plant, officials said Wednesday.

The three had been missing since the Horizon Biofuels facility exploded Tuesday in Fremont, about 32 miles northwest of Omaha. All three were in the plant at the time of the explosion, Dodge County Attorney Pam Hopkins told CBS News. On Wednesday, the focus at the scene “shifted from rescue efforts to recovery efforts,” Hopkins said.

The three have not been identified. Fremont Mayor Joey Spellerberg said at a news conference that the man was an employee at the plant. The two children were waiting for him to go to a doctor’s appointment. The girls were under 12, Spellerberg said.

“My heart hurts,” Spellerberg said. “It’s a tragedy. We pray for every person involved.”

Trump Explains Why He Kicked Jeffrey Epstein Out of Mar-a-Lago; Turned Down Invitation to Pedo Island › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Excerpt:

President Trump told reporters on Monday about the falling out he had with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein years ago that led him to ban the convicted sex trafficker from Mar-a-Lago. Trump also proudly proclaimed that he had turned down “the privilege” of ever traveling to Epstein’s infamous “Pedo Island.”

“I didn’t want to go to his island” Trump said.

The president was asked about Epstein as he sat for a bilateral meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland, Monday morning.

Trump irritably called the Democrats’ sudden interest in the Epstein Files “a hoax that has been built up way beyond proportion,” and argued that if there was any damning information in the files about himself, it would already be in the public domain.

“Those files were run by the worst scum on earth,” Trump said, referring to the Biden Department of Justice. “If they had anything, I assume they would have released it. The whole thing is a hoax,” the president insisted.

Trump also told reporters that it was possible that Democrats could have “easily put something in the files that’s a phony.”

The petition argues procedural errors and challenges the legal basis of her conviction.

Ghislaine Maxwell has formally filed a petition with the US Supreme Court seeking to overturn her 2021 conviction on sex trafficking charges.

“We are appealing not only to the Supreme Court, but to the president himself, to recognize how unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted,” a representative for Maxwell said, according to CNN.

Maxwell’s lawyers argue that Maxwell’s conviction violates an agreement Epstein made in 2008 that shielded coconspirators from prosecution.

According to trial evidence and court documents, Maxwell helped Epstein recruit and groom young girls—some as young as 14—for sexual abuse between 1994 and 2004. Prosecutors said she used gifts, outings, and emotional manipulation to gain the girls’ trust, gradually desensitizing them to inappropriate conduct. Maxwell was often present for the abuse and in some cases participated directly, including in group sexualized massages. Victims were abused at Epstein’s homes in New York, Florida, and New Mexico, as well as at Maxwell’s London residence.

Crime numbers are falling across the country, and the drop aligns with President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

A newly released report from the Council on Criminal Justice shows that crime is now down across much of America.

However, what the report fails to openly acknowledge is the critical role Trump’s tough immigration enforcement policies have played in driving these improvements.

This is no coincidence.

Trump’s steadfast approach to upholding existing laws has proven that America doesn’t need more regulations; we just need leaders with the resolve to enforce the laws we already have.

According to the report, homicides have dropped 17% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year.

In one of the most aggressive and successful anti-child exploitation crackdowns in U.S. history, President Trump’s Justice Department has revealed the results of Operation Grayskull, a sweeping, international strike that dismantled four high-traffic dark web platforms trafficking violent child sexual abuse materials, exposing a digital cesspool that included over 120,000 registered users and millions of illicit files.

To date, 18 individuals have been convicted in federal court, receiving a combined 300+ years in prison.

The Justice Department detailed how Thomas Peter Katsampes, 52, of Minnesota, became a staff member on one of these despicable sites, personally distributing CSAM, guiding others on how to do so, and helping manage operations. He was sentenced to over 20 years in prison, lifetime supervision, and forced to pay restitution to his victims.

A majority favor deporting migrants who are residing in the country illegally — another sign voters back President Donald Trump’s deportation agenda — a Marquette survey reveals.

Trump long ran on securing the southern border and deporting illegal aliens, and as he has continued to make good on that promise, he continues to have the public’s backing.

According to the survey, 57 percent across the board favor deporting immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally, compared to 43 percent who oppose. However, opinions vary on party lines.

An overwhelming majority of Republicans favor deporting illegal migrants — 93 percent. However, support among independents has fallen, as 41 percent now support deporting illegal migrants, compared to 59 percent who now oppose. This represents a significant shift from the results in May, which showed 61 percent of independents supporting deporting illegal immigrants.

Study finds pregnant whites do worse than minorities – authors say racism is ‘complex’– www.thecollegefix.com

‘Findings suggest structural racism operates differently for white vs minoritized groups,’ researchers say

A new study which found racial minorities living in poor areas actually have a lower risk of mental health problems relating to pregnancy compared to their similarly situated white counterparts shows racism is a “complex” topic, according to the authors.

This paper, published in Social Science and Medicine, hypothesized that residing in “structurally deprived neighborhoods” would be associated with a higher risk of hospital-reported “perinatal mental disorders” for minority populations, while no such association would exist for white mothers due to systemic racism.

“Perinatal” generally refers to the time soon before a birth and up to a year after giving birth.

However, the paper’s authors found that for black, Asian, and Pacific Islander mothers, living in poorer neighborhoods was associated with a lower risk of pregnancy-related mental health problems and that the opposite was true for white mothers.

“Our findings reveal a complex association between structural racism and hospital-reported PMD,” the authors wrote.

President Donald Trump is reportedly “furious” about the incessant questions he continues to receive on his decades-old relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a sentiment that boiled over during an appearance in Scotland on Monday.

A question from the traveling White House press corps set off Trump, who truculently attacked Epstein as a “creep” who was thrown out of Mar-a-Lago after harassing women at his golf resort.

“I threw Epstein out. Persona non grata. And that was it. I’m glad I did. And by the way, I never went to the island. And Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times,” he said angrily.

Trump’s answer harkens back to last week’s revelation that President Clinton allegedly contributed to a booklet of well-wishes presented to Epstein for his 50th birthday. Clinton is said to have praised Epstein for his “childlike curiosity,” according to the Wall Street Journal.

“It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends,” Clinton’s letter allegedly reads.

A spokesman said Clinton “knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” according to a statement.

Violent Crime Began Plummeting in Baltimore Just After Voters Fired Their Soros-Backed Prosecutor. Experts Say That’s No Coincidence.– freebeacon.com

Excerpt:

Homicides and other types of violent crime are dropping precipitously in the crime-ridden city of Baltimore. It started shortly after voters fired their progressive Soros-backed prosecutor in 2022—and experts say that’s no coincidence.

Baltimore’s homicide rate soared after state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby took office in 2015 on a progressive platform of refusing to prosecute low-level crimes while aggressively charging police officers including those involved in the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who died from injuries sustained while in custody. Those officers were ultimately acquitted, but Mosby’s policies still had a chilling effect on the Baltimore Police Department. Arrests plummeted under Mosby’s watch as homicides jumped from an average of 229 per year before she took office to 333 per year during her eight years as state’s attorney, according to figures compiled by the Heritage Foundation.

By July 2022, Baltimore voters had enough. Mosby lost her primary election to her Democratic challenger, Ivan Bates, who pledged to reverse her progressive non-prosecution policies and put in place harsher penalties for repeat violent offenses and illegal gun possession.

By all appearances, it worked.

Excerpt:

Maxwell, Jeffery Epstein’s former confidante and girlfriend, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, obtained by the Washington Examiner, Durbin said the DOJ should not commit to offering a pardon or commutation of Maxwell’s sentence in exchange for information, crediting “serious questions about the potential for a corrupt bargain between the Trump administration and Ghislaine Maxwell.”

Durbin’s letter was also co-signed by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), another member of the Judiciary Committee.

However, since Democrats are in the minority and have no subpoena power, the letter may carry little weight with Blanche. The letter reflected how Democrats are trying to keep pressure on the Trump administration over the Epstein files, a matter that has upset many of President Donald Trump’s supporters.

The letter from Durbin said the meetings between Blanche and Maxwell were “highly unusual” and should have been conducted by line prosecutors with more knowledge of the case and those who better understand whether Maxwell was lying or telling the truth.

Durbin wrote that because Blanche conducted the interviews, it led him and Whitehouse to believe they were “another tactic to distract from DOJ’s failure to fulfill Attorney General Bondi’s commitment that the American people would see ‘the full Epstein files.’”

Top Dem Lets The Truth Slip, Admits Party Knew Trump-Russia Hoax Was Fake– trendingpoliticsnews.com

A Democratic member of Congress said the quiet part out loud over the weekend, admitting that prominent party officials knew the Trump-Russia collusion allegation was a hoax but chose to pursue it anyway in order to hamstring Trump at the start of his first administration.

The offhand remark by Rep. Jason Crow (D-WI) on “Fox News Sunday” was flagged by conservative legal scholar Jonathan Turley, who called the admission “damning” in light of “falsehoods” being promulgated by U.S. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and others.

“That is a particularly telling and frank[ly] damning statement since figures like Adam Schiff were out spreading the false collusion claims,” Turley wrote on X.

In a column, the George Washington University law professor described the Trump administration’s effort to tell “the story of the real Russian conspiracy: how high-ranking officials in the Obama Administration seeded this false claim with the help of an eager, unquestioning press corps.”

“Not surprisingly, the media (which spent years repeating the false Russian collusion claims) is doing a full-court press to kill the story. Yet, many of these key figures are retaining counsel in anticipation of the unfolding investigation. Many previously secured contracts with MSNBC or CNN, or book deals, where they doubled down on the false claims detailed in these new documents,” he wrote.
