Israel loves President Trump, but “the security of Israeli citizens comes first,” the country’s far-right national security minister said Monday.

“We love President Trump but first and foremost – Israeli soldiers, our fighters, our residents, the security of Israeli citizens comes first,” Itamar Ben-Gvir said in a statement.

“No more daredevil ceasefire,” he added.

Ben-Gvir, who has been sanctioned by the U.K., Canada, Australia and several other countries for inciting violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, said the deaths of Israeli soldiers taking part in operations against Iran-backed Hezbollah in southern Lebanon last week showed “the containment policy failed.”

He criticized “years of measured responses” and “attempts to buy temporary peace” with Iran and its proxy forces – Hezbollah being the most serious threat to Israel among them – and said those initiatives had been interpreted by Israel’s enemies as “weakness.”

“The State of Israel must be safe, if not – Beirut will look like Beit Hanun,” he said, referring to a city in Gaza that was once home to more than 50,000 Palestinians. The city was “level[ed] to the ground” during Israel’s war with another Iranian proxy, Hamas, according to Israel’s defense chief.

As President Donald Trump and the Iranian government reached a written agreement to end the war, Democrats honed in on a section that appeared to promise hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars to Iran.

“With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said in an X post. “Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran.”

Trump dismissed such concerns.

“There is no 300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S.,” he said in a June 18 Truth Social post. “That’s Fake News! All there is for the U.S. is Success, Lower Oil Prices, and Victory.”

Board members of a small township in Michigan agreed to “fight to our very last breath” against an AI data center planned in their community. America’s nuclear scientists and the University of Michigan want to build a massive data center in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan. If built, the data center will, among other things, run simulations to help America build nuclear weapons.

The residents of Ypsilanti Township overwhelmingly oppose the construction of the data center and voiced their opposition to the computer warehouse during a public board meeting on June 16. In a show of support that’s often rare from local leaders in communities with data centers, Ypsilanti Township’s board vowed to fight UofM and Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is partnering with the university, with everything they had.

Economics is full of counterintuitive insights. Rent control can make housing less affordable. Business failures can strengthen an economy. And, yes, higher demand can sometimes lower prices. That’s a possibility worth remembering in the ongoing debates over data centers and electricity bills.

It sure seems like we’re going to build a whole lot more data centers in this country—at least, that’s what Wall Street is expecting. JPMorgan just raised its forecast for data-center capacity growth to 138 gigawatts through 2030, up from 122 gigawatts in its forecast last November. The bank also said it expects $5.5 trillion in AI-related capex through 2030, up from its previous forecast of $5.1 trillion.

The traditional single-income family once familiar in American culture has continued to decrease.

A new analysis from the Pew Research Center has found that for the first time in American history, a majority of households with children now have two full-time working parents. According to 2025 Census Bureau data, 52 percent of married or partnered couples raising children under 18 both work full-time jobs.

The traditional single-income family once familiar in American culture has continued to decrease, with just a quarter of households now consisting of a father working full-time while the mother remains at home. Meanwhile, families increasingly depend on two incomes to maintain a middle-class lifestyle. Under former President Joe Biden, inflation surged to levels not seen in decades. The Consumer Price Index peaked at 9.1 percent in June 2022, the highest rate in more than 40 years. While inflation eventually slowed under the current Trump administration, prices never returned to pre-pandemic levels, leaving families dealing with higher costs for housing, food, energy, insurance, childcare, and transportation.

Liberty Counsel (LC) is attempting to head off a proposal to embed a right to abortion in the Virginia Constitution this fall, backing a legal challenge contending that the amendment’s proponents skipped several key legal requirements to put it on the ballot.

In February, Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed legislation approving multiple proposed constitutional amendments to go before Virginia voters this year for final adoption, including one to establish in the Virginia Constitution a “right” to surgical abortions, abortion pills, contraception, and fertility “treatments,” such as embryo-destructive in vitro fertilization (IVF). 

On June 18, LC announced it has filed four briefs in support of Bedford County Supervisor Charla Bansley’s challenge to the amendment, maintaining that state lawmakers “missed several key procedural steps mandated by the Virginia Constitution before the amendment can go before the voters, such as distributing the amendment to all circuit court clerks statewide and posting it for public inspection three months prior to the 2025 House of Delegates election.”

A total of 100 people have recovered in the outbreak concentrated in the Ituri province since it was declared on May 15, Congo’s Ministry of Health said Sunday. At least 365 patients are in hospitals or in isolation, it said.

The Ebola outbreak caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, which has no vaccines or treatment, was the worst ever in its first month.

Officials admit there could be far more cases they still don’t know about and that the peak of the outbreak is still ahead.

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.

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.

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.

President Donald Trump on Monday told allies the US would not need “much help” in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, as he attended a G7 summit meeting of leading powers in France, dominated by questions over his deal with Iran to end the Middle East war.

Trump arrived in the spa resort of Evian-les-Bains for the summit hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, flush from celebrating his 80th birthday by watching MMA cage fighting at the White House the previous night.

But allies have a list of questions for Trump about his deal, impatiently waiting for the Strait to reopen and global energy prices to fall.

Macron faces a delicate balancing act in hosting the often unpredictable US leader. The New York Post newspaper reported that Trump is threatening to slap a 100% tariff on French wine and champagne unless Paris removes a digital services tax.

The Strait of Hormuz will be “completely open” from Friday after demining is completed, Trump said at the start of bilateral talks with Macron ahead of the summit opening.

Judge Orders Trump Administration to Restore National Park Displays Removed Under DEI Review › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore displays and interpretive materials removed from National Park sites as part of an effort to eliminate controversial diversity, equity and inclusion-related content.

US District Judge Angel Kelley ruled Friday that the administration must reinstall exhibits and displays that were removed following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump last year. The order directed federal agencies to eliminate content deemed to inappropriately disparage Americans and to remove divisive interpretations of U.S. history.

The lawsuit was brought by a coalition of park advocacy organizations that accused the Interior Department and National Park Service of attempting to “erase history and undermine science” by removing exhibits from parks across the country.

In a 63-page decision, Kelley concluded that the administration’s actions amounted to censorship and threatened the credibility of the National Park System.

“The Government’s stewardship of these park sites thus carries a responsibility to present history in full rather than in favored fragments. Unfortunately, the Government has disregarded these principles,” Kelley wrote.

 

Players Receive MLB Warning After Adding Bible Verses To Their ‘Pride’ Caps– wltreport.com

We’re more than halfway through June, and the parade of LGBT “pride” propaganda across professional sports continues at full speed.

Most recently, the MLB came under fire for issuing a warning to multiple players on the San Francisco Giants who wrote Bible verses on their hats.

The same hats had already been very conspicuously altered to include the month’s ubiquitous rainbow imagery, but adding a small nod to the Creator was apparently too much for league execs. 

Per the Daily Caller:

Staying true to their faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, numerous San Francisco pitchers wrote verses from the Bible on their caps. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp, one of the hurlers, talked following the contest about why he scrawled the verse, stating that it was the representation of “God’s covenant.”

“It’s just about God’s covenant and a promise that he makes to us that, you know, his faithfulness and his mercy,” said Roupp to the media, per OutKick. “That’s just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I’m thankful we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want … and express what we want.

“There’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand in. I believe in God,” added Roupp.

Here’s a sampling of the backlash the MLB received in response:
