In the wake of a wave of crackdowns on Christians by Chairman Xi’s China, President Trump has successfully convinced the leader to let a Christian pastor go free. The pastor is Ezra Jin Mingri, who appears to have been released as a token “gift” to President Trump. He was released two months after President Trump’s Beijing visit.
President Donald Trump announced the pardons of 6 American citizen who had been convicted under the Clean Air Act for “simply fixing” their cars. The cases cut against the right to repair, which President Trump acknowledged.

In August 2021, Florida woman Precious Bland drowned her 15-month-old and stabbed her husband who tried to stop her along with her teen daughter. After she was arrested and put on trial nearly five years later, she pled insanity, claiming that she had a “psychotic break” due to the stresses of Covid. At the time of the drowning she allegedly screamed, “Jesus Christ is coming, and Covid is going to kill us all!” The judge of this case, Miguel de la O, apparently found this argument persuasive and acquitted Bland.
Typically, the story would end there. Time and again, a psychotic murderer commits a heinous crime, stands before a liberal judge and claims insanity, receives mental health treatment, and is then released back into the public so that they can have more “psychotic breaks” that harm innocent people.

This is the best country in the world. The left knows that, which is why they refuse to leave, while attempting to lecture the masses on why this land is so evil. The problem with this is that not only is it illogical, but it will never put them on the “right side of history.” And to slander this great country and its flag on the 250th anniversary of its founding was not taken lightly by the patriots of this nation. This is why one man did what he felt needed to be done when he saw a deranged person lighting this nation’s flag on fire.
A lunatic in Durham, North Carolina, thought she or he or they was making a statement when she or he or they decided to light a flag on fire on the Fourth of July. No one was convinced of whatever it was they were trying to convey other than the other leftists on scene. The only sensible person around did what a lot of sane people would do when seeing a crazy person light a fire for no reason — stop it. This should not be controversial, but the pathetic left cannot stand it when people stand up for what is right.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told staff that the company’s effort to replace human workers with AI agents is moving slower than expected, even after the tech giant cut thousands of jobs and reorganized aggressively around artificial intelligence.
The admission came during an internal town hall after months of restructuring at Meta.
Earlier this year, the company cut roughly 10% of its workforce and reassigned about 7,000 employees into new AI-focused roles.
Those moves were framed internally as urgent, as Meta raced to compete with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and other major players in the artificial intelligence arms race.

Scientists say they have created a fully synthetic cell that can feed, grow, replicate its genome, and divide, marking a major step toward building life-like systems from non-living chemical components.
The team from the University of Minnesota says its synthetic cell, called “SpudCell,” is the “first synthetic cell with a complete cell cycle.”
Researchers say it can “grow, replicate its genome, divide, and undergo selection and competition across multiple generations.”
The breakthrough could open the door to a new era of biotechnology in which synthetic organisms are built from scratch and programmed to carry out specific tasks.

The U.S. Department of Justice is taking Virginia to court over its so-called “assault firearms” ban, filing a lawsuit just hours after it had been slated to take effect on July 1.
Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., signed a law that creates a Class 1 misdemeanor for importing, selling, manufacturing, purchasing, or transferring the firearms, which include standard, semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15-style rifle, the country’s most popular firearm.
Attorney General Todd Blanche’s office filed a lawsuit Wednesday morning saying the law violates the Second Amendment.
“The Constitution is not a suggestion, and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right,” Blanche said in a press release. “This Justice Department has done more to protect the Second Amendment than any administration in our nation’s history, and we will continue to do so whenever necessary.”

It appears humans still have the edge over AI.
For now at least.
Ford has announced it has rehired nearly 300 engineers after initially letting them go after replacing them with AI.
The decision by Ford to rehire the engineers comes after its AI system was unable to perform well while conducting quality checks.
BBC had more details to report on Ford’s latest move:
Ford says it has hired back some human engineers after AI failed to match their skills and experience.
In a bid to reap the benefits of the tech, which developers claim can cut costs and boost productivity, the US carmaker adopted it across some parts of its operations including for quality checks.
But, according to Bloomberg, its executives said the firm has rehired more than 300 “veteran” quality inspectors in recent years to make up for the pitfalls of automated systems.
“Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, but it’s only as good as the information you use to train it,” Charles Poon, vice president of vehicle hardware engineering, told reporters.
“Over prior years, we didn’t pay as much attention as we should have to the experience of our most knowledgeable engineers that have been with us through many product cycles,” he said.
The US automaker is among many to have seized on the buzz around AI, particularly amid Wall Street fervour about the tech’s potential to increase margins.
We are going to see a lot of companies give up on AI and start rehiring staff like Ford

On Tuesday, President Trump hosted a very special guest at the White House.
He met and had lunch with Tina Peters, the 70-year-old grandmother who was jailed in Colorado for two years after calling out election fraud in the 2020 election.
President Trump shared a photo of himself with Tina in the Oval Office in a post on Truth Social.
Take a look:
Full text of President Trump’s post here:
“FREE TINA!” became the rallying cry of the Republican Party over the past two years. Tina Peters just came to the White House to thank me for getting her released from prison in Colorado. She was put there because she found Election Fraud, but instead of arresting the people that committed the Fraud, they arrested her! They gave her nine years in jail, and she served two, much time in solitary confinement along with hardened criminals and murderers, and then I got the Republican Party into gear, and she was released. Tina is 70-years-old, suffered a major bout with cancer, but hopefully is now cancer free. What she went through should never happen to anyone again. Just think of it, she caught the Democrats cheating, and they put her in jail for Voter Fraud. They didn’t want her out there speaking to the Media. She knows that the Voting Machines are RIGGED, that the Mail In Ballots are a DISASTER, and that our Elections are very Dangerous and Corrupt at a time when, with the Threat of Communism, we must be very wise and careful! It was an Honor to have lunch with her. I was fortunate, my Vote in 2024 was TOO BIG TO RIG, but they tried. There wasn’t a thing they could do about it, but not everyone is in that position. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Tina Peters also shared a photo of herself in front of President Trump’s portrait at the White House Presidential Walk of Fame:

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is facing a new round of violence in the country’s Kurdish-majority west, raising questions about whether a long-simmering Kurdish insurgency is entering a more active phase as fragile talks between Iran and Washington continue, experts say.
The flare-up matters beyond Iran’s borderlands because Kurdish opposition groups were recently viewed as a potential pressure point against Iran during the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran — and now some Kurdish voices fear they could be left exposed as Washington and Tehran return to fragile diplomacy.
In recent days, Iranian security forces have been killed in several reported attacks and clashes across western and northwestern Iran. Four Iranian security personnel reportedly were killed and several others injured in two separate armed attacks Tuesday, reported The Jerusalem Post, in an analysis by Seth J. Frantzman, citing Iraq’s Shafaq News.

The House approved a measure Tuesday compelling the public release of records showing which House members have used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct charges levied against them and how much money was spent.
The resolution, offered by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), directs the House Ethics Committee and the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights — which also handles claims of misconduct — to produce such information within 60 days. It passed nearly unanimously, 420-0, with only Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) — an outspoken advocate for victims of sexual harassment and assault — voting present.
“We need to know what’s been going on here in the House of Representatives in order to convince the people and assure the people that we are conducting the people’s business with the utmost integrity and treating the officers and employees of this institution with the respect that they deserve,” said Massie, in remarks on the chamber floor imploring his colleagues to support the measure.
Massie’s effort comes after Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) were, earlier this year, forced to resign under the cloud of serious sexual misconduct allegations. The incidents forced a reckoning in the House, where members have historically struggled to show they take sexual assault allegations within their ranks seriously and to show they are prepared to root out bad behavior when necessary.
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 with express permission first from the owner.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the decision, “The TPS statute plainly bars consideration of respondents’ nonconstitutional claims.”

If the feds were able to arrest over 10,000 suspected gang members in just about a year and a half, how many tens of thousands of gang members are operating in the United States altogether? This is the horrible reality of the open borders crisis. Politicians who welcome illegal aliens are deliberately ignoring the fact that an unknown number of violent criminals are always mixed in.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Donald Trump’s efforts to revoke temporary status for foreign nationals in the United States on Thursday. The decision was 6-3, with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson in the dissent.
The ruling in the consolidated cases Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot dates back to Trump’s bid to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from large swaths of Syrian and Haitian nationals residing in America under the program. As The Federalist previously reported, the challengers contesting the president’s decision argued that the statutory provisions governing TPS “do not bar courts from reviewing an administration’s actions on the program and that the government is required to undertake certain steps (ex. consultation and assessment of a country’s conditions) before implementing such policies.”

When a Supreme Court ruling causes the mainstream media and Democrat politicians to dissolve into tears of fury, you know the decision was much more in favor of We the People and the Constitution than of woke judicial activism. And with two major immigration decisions going for the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday, lefty media stooges are, of course, roaring like a Shakespearean tempest.
To clarify a few facts first, the majority opinion in Mullin v. Doe (which is causing particular fury) was in favor of acknowledging that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) should be just that — temporary. The Supreme Court also rejected the claim that the Trump administration was targeting certain racial groups or that hundreds of thousands of Haitians should receive TPS 16 years after the earthquake that triggered the designation. Syrians, likewise, face a concerning but different situation back home now than they did in 2012 when their TPS started. None of those facts is influencing the MSM and Democrat meltdown.

The Senate reversed course late Wednesday night from a day earlier on a resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s war powers in the Iran conflict, giving the president a legislative victory over congressional dissenters on how his administration is handling the military conflict with Iran.
The measure was initially introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) and would have required the president to remove the U.S. military from engaging in combat “within or against Iran” unless a congressional vote granted him full authorization. On Tuesday, four Republican senators broke with the party to advance a resolution passed in the House of Representatives to limit the president’s war powers. Two Republicans, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) switched their votes on Wednesday night, and Kaine’s resolution failed to advance in a 47-50-1 vote. Paul voted present, and Cassidy voted against advancing it on Wednesday.
The vote came after Trump expressed anger with Tuesday’s adoption of the resolution that would have limited his war powers. Calling it a “poorly timed and meaningless” vote, Trump said it “provided aid and comfort” to the enemy, and hampered him in negotiations with the Iranians.

“The last thing [unions] should do is violate the rights of the very people whose rights they exist to protect.”
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has opened an investigation into the National Education Association (NEA) following a discrimination charge alleging the nation’s largest teachers union subjected Jewish educators to antisemitic harassment, denied leadership opportunities, and fostered a hostile environment for Jewish members.
The charge was filed by The Louis D. Brandeis Center Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism, which alleges the NEA violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by discriminating against Jewish members based on religion, ancestry, and national origin. According to the complaint, the EEOC’s Washington Field Office has already begun gathering evidence and communicating with the Brandeis Center regarding the allegations.
“The last thing [unions] should do is violate the rights of the very people whose rights they exist to protect,” said Kenneth Marcus, chairman and CEO of the Brandeis Center and former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education. Marcus said the organization is working with EEOC investigators to provide documents, witness information, and other evidence supporting what it describes as “pervasive anti-Semitism” within the union.
