EXCERPT:

Conservatives have every right to feel betrayed by the Republican Congress’ recent antics.

Freemarketeers, from the U.S. House to homes across America, were told in April to accept Senate Republican Leader John Thune’s emaciated Reconciliation 2.0 bill. The South Dakotan employed a limited-use budget procedure that obviates that pesky 60-vote filibuster threshold and permits passage via simple majority.

These special bills typically deliver the sponsoring party’s leading initiatives. This is how President Donald J. Trump and Republicans enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill in 2025 and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. Reconciliation was the needle through which Obama and Democrats injected the poison of Obamacare into America’s body politic in 2010.

Iran’s Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei declared in his first major public statement since taking office that regional countries would no longer serve as staging grounds for US military bases, after US Central Command acknowledged carrying out strikes on missile sites and boats in southern Iran overnight.

In a 14-page written message marking the Eid al-Adha holiday and the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Khamenei said the US “in addition to no longer having any safe haven in the region for aggression and the establishment of military bases, is moving further and further away from its former position with each passing day.”

“The hands of time will not turn backwards, and the nations and lands of the region will no longer serve as shields for American bases,” he added.

EXCERPT:

Cuba’s acquisition of more than 300 attack drones from Iran and Russia since 2023 underscores the regime’s deepening alignment with Washington’s adversaries. Cuban planners have reportedly discussed strikes against Guantanamo Bay, U.S. naval vessels, and even Key West, Florida. While these systems provide Havana with a limited harassment and asymmetric strike capability, they do nothing to narrow the overwhelming gap between Cuban and American military power.

Yet, Cuba poses a direct threat to American homeland security through migration waves, narcotics transshipment, espionage, and now drone threats. Over 600,000 Cubans have attempted or reached U.S. shores since 2021, surpassing the Mariel boatlift and the 1994 rafting crisis combined, straining resources and creating security vulnerabilities. Pentagon contingency planning intensified this month with the USS Nimitz carrier group deployed to the Caribbean, underscoring the urgency.

Cuba fields 50,000 active troops, 40,000 reserves, and approximately 1.1 million personnel in its Territorial Troops Militia. Its air force operates roughly 20 aircraft. The army possesses around 300 aging T-55 and T-62 tanks, Soviet-era artillery, and surface-to-air missile launchers upgraded by Belarus in 2025. Global Firepower ranks Cuba 65th globally, a position that conceals obsolescence and systemic decay

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously sided with the Trump administration on Tuesday in a dispute involving its policy regulating immigration judges’ “work-related speech.”

In its per curiam opinion, the high court vacated and remanded a decision by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals that centered around the government’s rules governing the executive’s immigration courts. The specific policy in question — which was enacted in October 2021 under the Biden administration — required immigration judges “to obtain supervisory approval for public speeches relating to their official duties” and was designed “to ensure that employee speech which may be seen as bearing the ‘imprimatur’ of the Office is consistent with its official positions,” according to SCOTUS.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito blasted their Supreme Court colleagues on Tuesday for ducking a pivotal interstate dispute over issuing commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal aliens who can’t read or speak English.

The verbal smackdown came about in the high court’s most recent order list, in which the justices disclosed which cases they will not be taking up and hearing arguments in during its upcoming 2026 term. Among the rejected cases was Florida v. California and Washington, in which Florida sought to file a lawsuit against California and Washington “for defying federal law by providing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who cannot read English,” as summarized by Thomas.

In its October 2025 filing, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier asked the high court to greenlight and consider his state’s legal complaint against the aforementioned Democrat-run states over the contested policy. He noted that Florida’s “serious and dignified” claims “arise under the United States Constitution,” and that “there is no alternative forum to provide adequate relief.”

Ballot Betrayal: Furious Americans Turn on Thune as He Stalls SAVE Act in Senate Swamp– gellerreport.com

EXCERPT:

The explosive standoff over the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act has pushed the U.S. Senate into a pressure cooker, transforming the legislative battle into a high-stakes referendum on the leadership of Majority Leader John Thune. For a rapidly growing number of Americans, the slow, agonizing movement on this landmark election security bill is nothing short of a tactical surrender – a profound failure of nerve from a leader increasingly viewed as a worthless roadblock to the populist agenda.

Across the country, the hatred directed at Thune is reaching a boiling point, fueled by the conviction that his deliberate inaction is a direct betrayal of the citizens he was chosen to lead. Indeed, there is no institutional excuse; his handling of the SAVE Act is a definitive reason why he should resign.

To understand the intense fury surrounding John Thune’s leadership, one must first look at the bill at the center of the storm. The SAVE Act represents a massive proposed shift in how American federal elections are conducted. The bill’s core mandate is simple but sweeping: it would require all Americans to present formal documentary proof of citizenship – such as a U.S. passport or a certified birth certificate alongside photo identification – in order to register to vote in federal elections.

Iranian Backed Terrorist Planned to Target Ivanka Trump, Had Blueprint of Her House – RedState– redstate.com

As RedState’s Ward Clark reported earlier in May, an Iraqi militia commander, part of an Iranian-backed terrorist group called the Kataib Hezbollah, was arrested in Turkey and was shipped to the U.S. to face charges of plotting numerous terrorist attacks, mostly against Jewish targets.

On Friday, The New York Post brought more disturbing details about the militant, 32-year-old Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, and his diabolical quest to kill the president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump:

First Daughter Ivanka Trump was targeted for assassination by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist in a twisted plot to avenge the president taking out his mentor, The Post has learned.

Recently captured Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, made a “pledge” to kill Ivanka and even had a blueprint of her Florida home, sources claimed.

The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting President Donald Trump’s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.

“After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,’” Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Washington told The Post.

He’s allegedly one evil individual:

Few outside of the FBI have heard of Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, but they say he’s behind a series of attacks – including in the UK

But the complaint against him describes the 32-year-old as a key figure in Iran’s covert overseas terror operations

In a surprise reversal of efforts to reduce the American military footprint in Europe, President Donald Trump said Thursday that the US will now be deploying an additional 5,000 troops to Poland.

The declaration came just days after the Trump administration said it would withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany and follows the Pentagon’s abrupt cancellation of a large training exercise in Poland.

The announcement also came on the heels of a Pentagon memo signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth temporarily halting the deployment of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team to Poland.

The Fight to Contain the Ebola Outbreak in Africa Just Got Harder– townhall.com

We currently face an Ebola epidemic in Africa, and it doesn’t help that health facilities are being attacked by mobs. The region where this latest outbreak occurred has long been neglected by government officials, so the increased attention has triggered hostile reactions from locals, some of whom suspect hidden motives. Yes, some believe the Ebola outbreak is a hoax, while others are secretly upset that they can’t bury their loved ones. The latter is how patient zero spread this pathogen. Now, we have dozens of those infected with Ebola roaming free after fleeing these facilities (via NBC News):

Doctors operating on the front lines of the fight against Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, already grappling with shortages of basic supplies, are now also having to deal with attacks on their facilities and fleeing patients as the virus spreads rapidly.

At least three such incidents have occurred in the northeastern province of Ituri where the first Ebola cases were reported, including two at the weekend targeting the same hospital that permitted more than two dozen patients to run away.

The attacks recall the widespread violence targeting health facilities during a 2018-2020 outbreak in eastern Congo that killed more than 25 health workers.

Some were perpetrated by civilians who were angry about not being able to bury their loved ones or were convinced that the outbreak was a hoax. The influx of money and manpower into an area that had felt neglected during decades of conflict and humanitarian crisis has spurred local suspicions about the real motives for the sudden spike of interest.

A similar dynamic seems to be playing out now, said Dr. Richard Lokodu, medical director of the Mongbwalu General Referral Hospital, which came under attack first Saturday and again Sunday.

It’s no surprise Republicans feel desperate to burnish Donald Trump’s reputation. His approval ratings are in the toilet, his unwanted and unnecessary war and tariffs are causing inflation and gas prices to soar, and while using his p***y-grabbing hands to pocket billions of taxpayer dollars and documents for himself, he has taken away health insurance and food benefits from Americans.

That’s not counting Dozy Don’s obvious mental decline.

Republicans in Congress could do a lot to rein in Trump’s wrongdoings and actually serve struggling Americans. Instead, Rep. Darrell Issa has introduced a resolution, cosponsored by more than 20 other Republicans, to rewrite history and expunge Trump’s two impeachments. Not only that, as Alternet reported, “it appears he wants to allege ‘misconduct’ on the part of those who were part of the process of impeaching him.”

Older adults who cut back on dietary fat or reduced the amount of animal-based protein they consumed showed signs of becoming biologically younger, according to new research from the University of Sydney.

The study, published in Aging Cell, found that adults between the ages of 65 and 75 experienced reductions in their estimated ‘biological age’ after following specific diets for just four weeks. Researchers say the findings suggest dietary changes later in life may quickly improve markers linked to aging and overall health.

The research was led by Dr. Caitlin Andrews from the University of Sydney’s School of Life and Environmental Sciences. While the results are promising, the scientists emphasized that the study provides only an early indication rather than definitive proof that diet can reverse aging. They say larger and longer studies are needed to determine whether these biological changes lower disease risk over time and whether the same effects occur in other age groups.

The Federal Judicial Center (FJC) casts itself as an ostensibly nonpartisan research agency that provides “objective information and education” to America’s judicial system. So, why did it permit major Democrat donors — several of whom openly espouse radical leftist views — to author part of an FJC manual advising judges on scientific matters before the bench?

The new discovery comes as part of The Federalist’s investigation into the taxpayer-funded FJC. The federal agency has come under fire in recent years following reports about left-wing climate activists’ growing bid to influence federal judges on environmental-related cases through the Federal Judicial Center.

This reporting came months after it was discovered that the climate section of the manual — which advises federal judges in their assessment of science-related matters in cases — was littered with citations and footnotes to left-wing climate advocates.
