The U.S. is evacuating some diplomatic staff from its embassy in Iraq Wednesday, and allowing families and dependents of diplomats in Bahrain and other locations to return to the U.S., as negotiations with Iran stall.

Breitbart News reported earlier Wednesday that President Donald Trump had said he was “much less confident” about the prospect of an Iran nuclear deal, after several weeks of sounding bullish about talks.

The Times of Israel reported:

The US State Department confirms that it is evacuating some of its staff from its embassy in Iraq.

In addition, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the Middle East, a US official said. Another US official said that it was mostly relevant to family members located in Bahrain — where the bulk of them are based.

So, there’s a video of a U.S Army member mouthing off about defecting to the pro-riot side, claiming she’s doing it to uphold our constitutional rights.

She also won’t be a “pawn” for Trump’s plan or something. She claimed to be speaking for the US Military. It sure makes it seem like she was the spokesperson for numerous military personnel. It’s beyond ridiculous; it’s also worthy of a court martial. She’s defying the orders of her commander-in-chief. Well, as it turns out, she’s all alone.

This individual was initially identified as having served in the Texas National Guard but was discharged in 2020. It was later revealed that she served in the US Army from 2010-2014, which was followed by a six-year stint in the reserves.  The Defense Department quickly made her persona non grata vis-à-vis speaking for the U.S. Military. Reportedly, her family is also here illegally. I think ICE needs to visit this household.

“He supports the First Amendment. He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard,” said Leavitt.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized on Wednesday that while President Donald Trump respects the First Amendment right to peaceful protest, he strongly opposes those who engage in criminal conduct. This comes as the Trump administration sent thousands of US National Guard troops and hundreds of US Marines to Los Angeles to quell the ongoing anti-ICE riots, which erupted on June 6 following large-scale apprehensions of illegal migrants in the county.

A reporter asked Leavitt during a White House press briefing, “Can you clarify what kind of protest President Trump does support of find acceptable?

Leavitt responded, “The president absolutely supports peaceful protest. He supports the First Amendment. He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard.”

She then emphasized that Trump has a zero tolerance policy for violent protesters, saying, “He does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their job. It’s very clear to the president what he supports and what he does not. Unfortunately, for Democrats, that line has not been made clear, and they’ve allowed this unrest and violence to continue and the president has had to step in.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intends to deploy tactical units to five Democrat-led areas as anti-ICE riots continue in Los Angeles.

The agency is preparing to send tactical units to New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, and northern Virginia.

From the New York Post:

Previous ICE raids led to distressing scenes in downtown Los Angeles after protests quickly escalated into full-blown riots over the last five days — with Trump deploying the National Guard and US Marines to maintain order.

Newsom condemned Trump’s decisions during an emotional televised address Tuesday night, when he likened the president’s actions to those of an “authoritarian” regime.

“Donald Trump, without consulting with California’s law enforcement leaders, commandeered 2,000 of our state’s National Guard members to deploy on our streets. Illegally, and for no reason,” the 40th governor of California said.

“This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation … putting our people, our officers, and the National Guard at risk. That’s when the downward spiral began. He doubled down on his dangerous National Guard deployment by fanning the flames even harder.”

Excerpt:

A federal judge has declined California Governor Gavin Newsom’s emergency request for an immediate restraining order to stop President Donald Trump from deploying military personnel to protect federal property and personnel from rioters in Los Angeles.

After California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit on Monday seeking to stop the deployment of both National Guard personnel and U.S. Marines, Newsom followed up on Tuesday with an emergency request seeking immediate relief.

The filing included a declaration from Paul Eck, deputy general counsel in the California Military Department, who said the federal government intends to use military personnel to assist with immigration enforcement operations. This support would include holding secure perimeters around areas where immigration raids were taking place and securing streets for federal agents.

Agents came under attack while carrying out lawful immigration raids in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday, while similar, albeit more mild incidents have taken place in other parts of the country.

Military personnel have thus far been protecting federal buildings, though it is unclear if their mission will change in the near future.

According to Rep. Kaohly Her, DFL-St. Paul, she entered into this country illegally with her illegal parents and is currently living here illegally. However, given how we no longer live under the Biden Regime, she backtracked her statements after this bizarre omission, and now takes back all of that.

Subsequently, she has since clarified that she is, in fact, a citizen.

According to the Minnesota Reformer:

Rep. Kaohly Her, DFL-St. Paul, revealed a stunning detail about herself during a debate on the Minnesota House floor Monday: She came to the United States as a child illegally.

Side note: Her name would make this story very confusing if we were talking about trans drama-rama but fortunately, we are not.

“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Her said.

“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Her said she was trying to inspire empathy in her Republican colleagues, who were about to vote to take away state-funded health care for adults in Minnesota without permanent legal status.said.

Few words are as frequently misused to garner attention as the phrase “unprecedented.” Contrary to the way liberal media likes to throw the word around, everything you disagree with is not considered unprecedented. There is, of course, quite a bit of precedent for news stations like PBS using their platform to complain about “unprecedented” Republican politics.

During PBS NewsHour’s coverage of the Los Angeles riots Monday, host Geoff Bennett emphasized the unprecedented nature of both President Trump’s disregard of Governor Newsom’s rejection of National Guard support and his deployment of Marines to the city to keep the peace. Naturally, there was actually precedent for both these actions.

That didn’t matter to Bennett or his guest, Juliette Kayyem, former Obama homeland-security official and CNN pundit. When asked about the implications of Trump’s supposedly unprecedented decisions, she responded:

There’s not only no precedent to this. There’s no sort of check on it. We don’t know if this is the standard, if what happened in L.A. is the standard now for federalizing the National Guard and deployment of active military. The Trump administration has so lowered the floor and the distinction between civil and military actions, that they appear now to be one and the same.

Mayor Karen Bass has finally done something constructive and in the process, admitted the problem that she’s been trying to deny. She declared a local emergency and issued a curfew for downtown Los Angeles.

Bass should have done this by Saturday night, instead of bloviating ’til now. She acknowledged more than twenty businesses had been looted. She said the graffiti was everywhere and had caused significant damage to businesses and properties. She warned people would be arrested if they break the curfew. She explained that hundreds of officers from across the state were working with LAPD.

Today, Gallup released the results of its annual survey on abortion. Overall, the news is good for pro-lifers. A range of survey questions indicate that there was actually a slight increase in pro-life sentiment in 2025.

Overall, 43 percent of respondents identified as “pro-life,” a two percentage point gain from last year’s Gallup survey. There were also small gains in the percentage of people who thought abortion was “morally wrong” and the percentage of people who thought abortion should either be “illegal” or “legal in only a few circumstances.”

Most of the media coverage of this most recent Gallup poll has focused on a growing gender gap in abortion attitudes. From the mid-1990s into the late 2010s, most Gallup surveys found that men and women had fairly similar attitudes on abortion. As recently as 2019, men were actually more likely than women to identify as “pro-choice.” However, this most recent survey showed that 61 percent of women identified as “pro-choice” as opposed to only 41 percent of men — a 20 percentage point gender gap.

The DHS self-deport app allows illegals cost-free travel home, a $1,000 bonus, and an opportunity to return to the US legally in the future.

The Department of Homeland Security announced a new program on Monday night.

If illegal aliens self-deport through the CBP Home App they will receive forgiveness on any fines, cost-free travel to their home country, and a $1,000 exit bonus.

By self-deporting illegal aliens will also earn the opportunity to return back to the United States the right way.

A Chinese researcher allegedly tried to smuggle biological materials into the US from Wuhan and lied to the feds about the secretive scheme.

Chengxuan Han was arrested Sunday after landing at the Detroit Metropolitan airport on a flight from Shanghai, according to charging documents. She was charged with smuggling goods into the US and making false statements.

Han is the third Chinese scientist to be charged with smuggling illegal biological materials into Michigan in recent weeks.

Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend Zunyong Liu, 34, were caught last year allegedly trying to smuggle samples of a dangerous crop-killing fungus into the US, the FBI said. Jian, a Communist Party loyalist and lab researcher at the University of Michigan who received Chinese government funding for her work, was charged last week in a ploat the national security insiders called “an attack on US food supply.”

Upon Han’s arrival to the US, border officers discovered Han sent four packages that “contained biological material related to round worms” from China, according to court documents

The packages, which were sent in both 2024 and 2025, were addressed to individuals associated with a laboratory at the University of Michigan.

The Trump economy has once again shocked the pundits and “experts”,” this time by adding 139,000 jobs, which is about 15,000 more than the “experts” predicted.

Economists expected only about 125,000 jobs to be added to the workforce, though they did successfully predict that the unemployment rate would remain steady at 4.2 percent.

Amazingly, this higher job growth rate came even though the federal government has shed tens of thousands of jobs.

ABC News was even forced to admit that the unemployment rate is at historic lows.

Per Breitbart News:

President Donald Trump’s program of shrinking the federal government is showing signs of progress. Employment in the federal government fell by 22,000 in May and is down 59,000 since January.

The private sector added 140,000 jobs, more than the 120,000 forecast. The services sector expanded by 145,000 jobs while the good producing side of the economy contracted by 5,000. Manufacturing employment contracted by 8,000 jobs but the prior month’s figure was revised up from a loss of 1,000 to a gain of 5,000.

Over the past 12 months, the economy has added 149,000 jobs each month on average.

The labor force participation rate slipped to 62.4 from 62.6 in the prior month.

Average hourly earnings climbed at a rapid rate, rising 0.4 percent in May. That is double the April rate of increase and more than the consensus forecast. Compared with a year ago, average hourly earnings are up 3.9 percent, handily beating inflation.

Free speech and religious freedom advocates, groups speaking out on the harms of radical gender ideology, and 22 states have filed friend-of-the-court briefs in support of two Vermont families who had their foster-care licenses revoked by Vermont because of their religious beliefs. On May 30, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing the families filed their opening brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in Wuoti v. Winters.

Despite a track record of success and high praise from social workers who knew Brian and Katy Wuoti and Bryan and Rebecca Gantt, Vermont’s Department for Children and Families revoked their foster-care licenses after the couples expressed their religiously inspired and widely held belief that girls cannot become boys or vice versa. The state applies this policy categorically—prohibiting families with these views from caring for any child, even if they sought to care for a relative, provide respite care for an infant for just one day, or care for a child who shared their faith.

“Vermont’s foster-care system is in crisis: There aren’t enough families to care for vulnerable kids,” said ADF Senior Counsel Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse. “As numerous states have attested, religious families play a critical role in the foster-care system. Yet instead of inviting families from diverse backgrounds to help care for vulnerable kids, Vermont is shutting the door on them, putting its ideological agenda ahead of the needs of suffering kids. When it comes to finding kids a loving home, everyone should be able to recognize that the needs of kids should come first. And even Vermont agrees that the Wuotis and the Gantts are loving and caring parents willing to open their door to any child.”

Real constitutional crises are relatively rare in American history. In 1803, Chief Justice John Marshall could have sparked one with his decision in Marbury v. Madison. In it, he deftly asserted that the Supreme Court had the power to invalidate laws or actions it saw as unconstitutional. That assertion didn’t cause a crisis in the fledgling nation mainly because it came in a decision that supported the Jefferson administration, and as such the president was not inclined to protest.

Then of course there was President Franklin Roosevelt’s court-packing scheme in 1937. In 1936, in the face of continuing 5-4 decisions going against his New Deal legislation, FDR’s Attorney General Homer Cummings proffered an idea penned by one of his predecessors in 1914, James Clark McReynolds: for every justice older than 70, a new justice should be appointed. Ironically, in 1936 McReynolds was a 75-year-old associate justice.

FDR’s legislation died in committee, but it would likely not have survived even if it had made it out of committee as it faced a great deal of bipartisan opposition. But it didn’t really matter because Justice Owen Roberts, who had been a thorn in the side of much of the New Deal legislation, joined the leftists in upholding West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish in 1937 and became a relatively reliable New Deal supporter going forward.

Is Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill “grotesque?” That’s what Elon Musk says. Though let’s be honest, it’s probably not the bill’s cost that’s bothering him. It’s the fact that the bill cuts the EV tax credits that keeps Tesla’s whole business model floating. Sorry, Elon!

Yes, the bill is big. It’s bold. It’s expensive. But it’s also everything we’ve been asking for, and then some. If you’re only looking at the price tag, you’re missing the bigger point: this bill actually delivers.

Do you like tax cuts? Because the Big Beautiful Bill is packed with them. Permanent Trump tax cuts? Locked in. Child tax credit? Raised to $2,500. Overtime pay? Tax-free. Tips? Also tax-free. That means bartenders, bellhops, and servers just got a raise without a single employer raising payroll. It’s basically a stimulus that doesn’t come with government strings. It’s economic empowerment. It’s dignity for the American worker. It’s someone-in-D.C.-finally-gets-it!

And before the deficit hawks start in on all this, let’s get one thing straight. This bill also includes the largest rollback of federal government bloat in modern history. $1.6 trillion in cuts. That’s not nothing! And guess what? The even deeper DOGE cuts are coming in a separate bill. Consider this round one of draining the swamp.

A pro-life marketing organization is fighting a lawsuit filed by a Massachusetts abortion facility that seeks to suppress the agency’s pro-life speech.

Four Women Health Services sued Choose Life Marketing earlier this year, claiming that its pro-life marketing efforts mislead women seeking abortions, according to a news release from Thomas More Society. Thomas More Society is a nonprofit legal organization representing Choose Life Marketing and one of the agency’s clients, a pro-life pregnancy center called Abundant Hope.

Choose Life Marketing’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts June 3. According to the release, the agency’s marketing practices include promoting pregnancy centers’ resources for women, such as alternatives to abortion, adoption resources, and material assistance.

Last I checked, “pride” was considered the grandaddy of the seven deadly sins in the Christian faith.

Pretty much every one of the thinkers who dealt with this question in the first thirteen centuries of the church — from Pope Gregory I, who called it “the queen of sins” to Thomas Aquinas, who said it is “the cause whereby other sins are rendered more grievous” — agreed, and this was pretty much undisputed until the world started secularizing.

Now, we have a whole month dedicated to “pride” — in which another of the deadly sins, “lust,” is also heartily celebrated — and lo and behold, we have the left’s new favorite Christian prelate celebrating it heartily not just as a thing in itself but as an antidote to President Donald Trump.

Bishop Mariann Budde, the first female to hold that position in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and now on minute 13.5 of her latest 15 minutes of fame for her version of performative Christianity at the National Prayer Service after Donald Trump’s inauguration in January — announced in an interview with USA Today published Monday that she’s now praying for pride.

U.S. tennis player Coco Gauff has become the first American woman to win the French Open since 2015 and after her victory Sunday, and she claimed she is very patriotic to be an American… but only for “people that look like her.”

Gauff, 21, defeated world No. 1 ranked Aryna Sabalenka in three sets Sunday to take the Open, and after the game she was asked what it is like representing America on the world circuit.

“It means a lot. Obviously, there’s a lot going on in our country right now,” Gauff said, according to Fox News. “Just to be a representation of that and a representation of people that look like me in America, who maybe don’t feel as supported during this time period. Being that reflection of hope and light for those people.”

She then insisted that America is in a “down period” because Donald Trump is president.

“I remember after the election and everything, it felt like a down period a little bit. My mom told me during Riyadh, try to win the tournament just to give people something to smile for. That’s what I was thinking about today,” the tennis star bloviated.

Oh, but she still claims to be “patriotic.” At least for “people who look like her.”

“Some people may feel some type of way about being patriotic and things like that, but I’m definitely patriotic. I’m proud to be American. I’m proud to represent Americans that look like me and people who kind of support the things that I support,” she explained.

This is the third Chinese national accused of smuggling biological materials into Michigan. Despite last week’s arrest of Chinese agroterrorists, China continues to wage bio-war on the United States.

Authorities say Chengxuan Han is a doctoral student at the College of Life Science and Technology in the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.

Agroterrorist Han is from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, which works closely with China’s military and defense industry.

On June 8, Chengxuan Han was stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after arriving on a J1 visa. Officers inspected Han, who, during that time, reportedly lied to officials about the packages and the biological materials she is accused of previously sending to the U.S. Officers say Han related content from an electronic device three days before arriving in the U.S.

The New York Times confirmed Sunday that Hamas operated a tunnel beneath the European Gaza Hospital weeks after casting doubt on its existence. Instead of condemning Hamas for using a hospital as a terror base, however, the paper framed the tunnel as a matter of clashing narratives.

“What we saw in that dark and narrow tunnel is one of the war’s biggest Rorschach tests,” Times reporter Patrick Kingsley wrote in a Sunday article after touring the site, calling it “the embodiment of a broader narrative battle between Israelis and Palestinians over how the conflict should be portrayed.”

“To Israelis, the location of an underground passageway highlights Hamas’s abuse of civilians,” the article’s subheading reads. “To Palestinians, Israel’s decision to target it highlights Israel’s own disregard for civilian life.”

The Times last month cast doubt on the tunnel’s existence, quoting the hospital’s director as saying such a tunnel was unlikely. Two weeks later, Muhammad Sinwar—the de facto leader of Hamas and younger brother of slain October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar—was killed inside the tunnel, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

CNN’s Brian Stelter said during an appearance on the network that people have to be careful when they are going on social media and looking at videos of the violence of the LA riots, warning that the videos could have been posted “two days ago,” and will give a “false impression” of how much unrest is happening in the California city.

Stelter appeared on CNN, and said, “We all live on our phones these days, we’re all scrolling through social media. you’ve got to be careful at a delicate moment like this to look at the timestamps, look at the dates, look at when things are actually posted, and if they’re really from the situation they’re purporting to be.”

“A lot of these algorithms are servicing hours old, or even days old content. So you might be looking at a video of something wondering what’s happening in LA. It’s actually two days ago. And that’s only matters because it can get people a false impression of what’s actually happening at a moment of unrest,” Stelter added.

As Los Angeles devolves into violent chaos led by the anti-ICE activists that have flooded the streets to fight against immigration enforcement, it is being discovered that tax dollars are funding the groups organizing these riots.

One of the groups behind the riots is a non-profit called Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), an LA-based group that advocates for illegal aliens. This group has long been an avowed enemy of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and in 2018 led a campaign to abolish ICE.

As rioters coursed through downtown L.A. this weekend, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference celebrating the work of the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network’s hotline for helping alert left-wing, open-border activists to where ICE actions were taking place across the L.A. area.

You’d think setting cars on fire would be the bare minimum threshold for calling a “mostly peaceful protest” a riot, but not when it comes to the mainstream media. According to ABC News, it’s apparently just “a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.” You know, everyone’s favorite pastime.

If you needed any more justification as to why the media has become largely irrelevant, here it is!

This is also why there is only one particular demographic that still watches cable news—most people won’t just believe something while watching the exact opposite unfold before their eyes and accept the reporter’s explanation as gospel.

You have to be deep in liberal fantasy land to watch rioters setting cars on fire and still believe they’re just trying to help an illegal alien earn a living for his family back in Mexico. And the fact that this kind of chaos is the most effective way to “send a message” to the Trump administration might say more than they intended.

How have they not learned their lesson? This is exactly the kind of nonsense that cost the left the election. You can’t claim two plus two equals five and expect the public to accept it as truth—voters are a lot smarter than the media gives them credit for.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is condemning his own party for failing to sufficiently condemn four days of violent rioting aimed at impeding federal immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles.

Just as violence erupted in Los Angeles for the fourth day in a row, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) took to X in order to condemn the violence. “I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that,” the senator wrote.

“This is anarchy and true chaos,” Fetterman continued. “My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.”

The post was accompanied by a photo of several vehicles burning while a masked rioter stands atop a burned out car while waving a Mexican flag during Sunday night’s rioting.

Fetterman’s comments differ starkly from most elected Democrats, the majority of whom have been attempting to blame the Trump Administration for the unrest that has now spread to additional cities in California and Texas.

Numerous Democratic politicians have in recent days returned to their summer 2020 strategy of characterizing violent leftist riots as peaceful protest and President Donald Trump’s desire to restore order as both escalatory and authoritarian.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, among the standouts in his party who previously refused to join progressives in attacking Israel in the wake of the 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks, proved willing once again to call out his colleagues for their radical approach.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents executed a number of lawful operations last week in California. Democrats were quick to demonize the federal agents and frame their operations as illegitimate.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, for instance, accused ICE agents of sowing “terror” and stressed that the city would “not stand for this.”

California U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla followed suit, stating that the “ICE raids across Los Angeles today are a continuation of a disturbing pattern of extreme and cruel immigration enforcement operations across the country” and demanding “accountability for today’s actions.”

‘This is a wake up call for many Democrats.’

Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is ‘furious’ over President Donald Trump deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to out of control illegal immigration riots.

Pelosi is still sore over the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot when she was Speaker and failed to protect the Capitol with sufficient police and D.C. National Guard troops, even though President Trump had offered 10,000 troops.

Speaking to Matt Berg with lefty news site Crooked Media, the 85-year-old Catholic grandmother of nine Pelosi, let the F-bomb fly (excerpt):

Nancy Pelosi is furious about Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to the Los Angeles protests and not during the Capitol riots, the California lawmaker exclusively told What A Day.

Demonstrations roiled part of downtown Los Angeles and a working-class suburb over the weekend, sparked by a trio of ICE raids on workplaces. Now, President Donald Trump is saying that Los Angeles would’ve been “completely obliterated” had he not sent in the National Guard. (That’s a lie: Los Angeles is massive, and the protests didn’t affect most residents.)

What’s also bothering Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), however, is the fact that Trump didn’t send the National Guard to the Capitol during the January 6 riots: “It’s overwhelming because [the insurrectionists] want to put a bullet in my F-word head and they were going to hang the vice president of the United States — and this guy is not sending in the National Guard, and then lying about it to the public,” she told What A Day. “I’m very concerned about the hypocrisy.”

…Trump’s actions have “inflamed the conditions on the ground,” Pelosi added. “I don’t think there’s any mystery to the fact that the president is not acting in the constitutional way, in so many other respects, not just this.”
