Excerpt:

A historical monument in Fredericksburg, Virginia, commemorating George Washington’s mother was vandalized this past weekend with what appear to be Antifa writings.

The revelation came to light on Monday, when the Washington Heritage Museum disclosed in a Facebook post that the Mary Washington Monument was graffitied on two sides. Pictures released by the organization show one side covered in writing that seemingly reads, “Antifa,” while the other is marked with what appears to be an Antifa “A” symbol.

The monument is located near the University of Mary Washington and Meditation Rock, where Mary “prayed for the safety of her son and country during the dark days of the Revolution.”

As The Federalist has previously reported, Antifa is a far-left organization whose often-violent members routinely operate throughout the United States. The group has been linked to destructive activities like the defacing of public property, including historical monuments.

Joe Biden Receives $10 Million Advance In His Latest Deal– wltreport.com

Excerpt:

Joe Biden has been cashing in since leaving the Oval Office.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Joe Biden sold his presidential memoir to a publisher for $10 million.

The number may sound high, but it’s significantly lower than the deals Barack Obama and Bill Clinton received.

The New York Post shared more details on the deal and how it compares to previous presidents:

Former President Biden has sold his presidential memoir for a $10 million advance – far less than the lucrative deals won by the Obamas and Bill Clinton, according to a report.

Biden, 82, made a deal with Hachette Book Group for an advance of around $10 million, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

The book’s publisher, Hachette’s Little, Brown & Co., has not yet set a publication date.

Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, meanwhile, sold the rights to their memoirs to Penguin Random House for a record-breaking $60 million in 2017.

Alfred A. Knopf, which is owned by Penguin Random House’s parent firm Bertelsmann, paid $15 million for former President Bill Clinton’s 2004 memoir “My Life.”

President Trump did not publish a presidential memoir after his first term.

Pro-Palestinian activist: ‘Absurd’ to ask if I condemn Hamas– www.thecollegefix.com

Excerpt:

Columbia University’s famed pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil said it is “absurd” and “disingenuous” to ask him if he condemns the terrorist group Hamas.

Khalil repeatedly avoided answering the direct question during a recent interview on CNN. The Trump administration tried to deport Khalil and accused him of lying on his visa application after he omitted his work with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

The Trump administration is also seeking to deport Khalil, an Algerian national, on the grounds he is sympathetic to Hamas and is promoting antisemitism.

“Just to be clear here, do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their action on Oct. 7?” CNN’s Pamela Brown asked Khalil on Tuesday.

“I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop,” Khalil said. Brown asked again, but Khalil kept talking.

“To me, it‘s always, as I said, disingenuous and absurd to ask such questions when literally 62,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel,” he said. “And that‘s why I wouldn‘t really engage much into such questions on condemnation or not. Because selective condemnation wouldn‘t get us anywhere. It’s just like [hypocritical] to be honest.”

Leftist Rhetoric Fuels Violence Against ICE and Border Patrol– www.standingforfreedom.com

In announcing last week that there has been an 830 percent increase in violence against federal immigration agents, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) placed the blame squarely on false media reports and unhinged claims by left-wing politicians.

They’re absolutely right.

All we’ve heard for months from Democrat members of Congress, governors, mayors, and other radical politicians are exaggerations, incitement, and flat-out lies about the federal effort to legally deport criminal aliens and all we’ve seen in response are daily riots, protests, and direct attacks against both Immigration Custom, and Enforcement (ICE) agents and Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) officers.

And the mainstream media has been only too happy to parrot that dangerous rhetoric while also largely ignoring their own role in bringing about harm to law enforcement officers.

Using a declassified document released this week, it has never been easier to see how the propaganda press partners with politicians to hoodwink the public and shape the political landscape.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released a 2020 Oversight Investigation and Referral report about a 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) titled, “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.”

It showed that under the direction of former President Barack Obama, then-CIA Director John Brennan and a handful of intelligence agents slapped together an ICA in two weeks, soon after Hillary Clinton lost the election. The ICA was used as the foundation of the Russia collusion hoax — the lie that Trump and Russia together cheated to win the 2016 election.

But the ICA was a terrible foundation for such a claim, because it was hastily written and had sketchy sourcing, including the fabricated and now debunked Steele dossier; and a six-word fragment of a sentence that mentioned Trump out of context. The report shows that intelligence agents argued with Brennen, telling him not to use information that was substandard, unclear, of uncertain origin, biased, or implausible.

“You are a bunch of lying f*cking scumbags. You terrorize, you try to terrorize Supreme Court justices over a decision that didn’t go your way.”

In a recent interview with PBS’ Frontline program, War Room host Steve Bannon criticized the outlet for expressing concerns about “rhetoric” from President Donald Trump, but not when Supreme Court justices were targeted in the wake of the Roe v Wade decision.

“You can’t let these radical judges do it. And this is going to be a showdown. It has to be a showdown,” Bannon said.

“And the rhetoric about the judge, because a lot of lawyers say, you know, all of the rhetoric, calling for impeachment, the radical left lunatic, that this rhetoric, it shouldn’t—that’s not the type of thing the President should say. He should appeal. He should abide by the court ruling and not—,” the PBS interviewer asked before being cut off.

“Listen, by the way, was there any complaint from PBS, or was there any complaint by the Democrats on the rhetoric used against the judges when the Roe v Wade decision came out and they had to have police protection at their houses?” Bannon asked. “I don’t remember, I don’t remember anything about the rhetoric being too high.”

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) is not expected at the National Governors Association retreat this weekend as reports emerge suggesting cracks in the Democratic relationship with the organization.

Gov. Laura Kelly (D-KS) has not registered for the summit either, though the meeting of the bipartisan governors group will enjoy a “record number” of governors at the summer meeting in Colorado Springs.

The NGA reportedly will not get any more dues from Walz or Kelly over its reaction to President Donald Trump’s ventures into state matters. The Washington Examiner did not confirm the report but did confirm that the two governors had not registered for the summit.

Both have concluded that the “organization’s usefulness is now in doubt” because it allegedly did not respond sufficiently to incidents such as the pause on the disbursement of all federal funds in January, when Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME) argued with Trump over transgender athletes, and when the National Guard was deployed into California during the Los Angeles protests.

“When you are also paying dues with taxpayer dollars, it has got to be worth it, and they are going to have to demonstrate that,” a source told the Atlantic. “Right now, they are not doing that. There have been ongoing concerns about the NGA among the Democratic governors and staff, off and on, for years.”

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin has admitted that the Democrats have now hit “rock bottom” following President Donald Trump’s re-election victory in November.

The DNC leader says the Democratic Party has “work to do” but believes that Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” will provide the ammunition they need to make a comeback.

Martin’s comments came in the wake of the party’s struggles after the 2024 elections, when they lost control of the White House, Senate, and failed to win back the House majority.

In a candid interview with Fox News, Martin acknowledged that the Democrats had lost ground with key parts of their coalition, including voters who had historically been a part of the Democratic Party’s base.

However, he remained optimistic about the party’s future, claiming that “when you hit rock bottom, there’s only one direction to go, and that’s up.”

The DNC chair pointed to the growing anger among the party’s base, energizing them to push back against Trump’s sweeping second-term domestic agenda.

He noted that this anger isn’t just directed at the GOP but at Democratic lawmakers who many in the party feel haven’t been aggressive enough in countering the president.

Now that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement budget is larger than those for most of the world’s militaries, they’ve got plenty of money sloshing around to hire 10,000 new agents, which will surely allow them to ratchet up arrests of harmless day laborers at Home Depot. But how to find those 10,000 new hires? ICE seems to be starting by begging retirees to come back.

A recruitment page on ICE’s website features the obligatory scowling Uncle Sam. Retired ICE agents who return are eligible for up to $50,000 in bonuses and can still receive their basic federal retirement annuity. In other words, for these rehires, taxpayers will be paying:

  1. Their base salary, which starts at $105,000 for ICE criminal investigators and nearly $89,000 for deportation officers.
  2. Federal health care benefits.
  3. Base federal retirement annuity.
  4. A stratospheric hiring bonus of up to $50,000.

That may seem like a steep price, but hey, how else to ensure that migrant children are left alone when their mothers are deported, or that immigrants are mistakenly deported? How else to ensure that ICE has enough agents to arrest migrants at courthouses after federal immigration judges, in collusion with government attorneys, drop immigration cases so that the migrant can be immediately arrested when they leave the courtroom?

Donald Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan cried to the media that a migrant doesn’t have to be a criminal to be arrested, detained and deported now because their immigration status decides if they are a criminal. This, despite the fact that being undocumented is not a crime; it’s a civil violation.

During the run up to the 2024 election, Donald Trump and JD Vance continually proclaimed that every migrant crossing the border were either serial killers, cannibals, murderers, or rapists.

These were the migrants he was going to deport.

Since racist Stephen Miller is in control of ICE now (basically the whole country really), Trump’s immigration policies require 80-year-old migrants, children playing on soccer fields, day workers, farm workers, and brown people in general to be scooped up by unmarked cars and balaclava-wearing masked men so they can be shipped off to alligator prisons.

This is Trump’s America.

Here is Tom “General Zod” Homan ranting during a presser earlier today.

ZOD: Then I read another story about how most people in ICE detention aren’t criminals. Now the story is, how bad of a criminal they have to be.

I saw a story the other day, only 1% of the illegal aliens removed were murderers.

Are you kidding me? Being in the country illegally is not illegal anymore, you got committed murder to be deported?

If you look at ICE detention, I’ll say it again, look at detention, who’s in detention, I looked at the numbers this morning, a majority are criminals, have criminal history.

Who are the rest? Border cases, who a judge ordered removed. The others are expedited removal, by federal statute, demands they be detained. So with the media out there, let’s try telling the truth about the men and women of ICE and the men and women of the Border Patrol.

MADISON SHEAHAN: Our issue becomes- is when they become violent and are asking people to go cause violence.

LUCIANO: So the apps are used to alert immigrants where ICE is. Those people are not going to be targeted.

SHEAHAN: Well, if it is impeding a law enforcement effort, that’s where that line comes in, as well.

LUCIANO: So who is behind developing these apps? We came to one farm in New York State to meet with an unlikely founder.

PETER: People feel like they’re being hunted.

LUCIANO: Peter, who asked us not to use his last name, runs an animal rescue and developed the Coqui app. Why did you decide to create this app?

PETER: There is the desire to protect the people that you love, but there’s also a very practical reason. We need help here, and we need workers to get to work.

The Department of Homeland Security was feeling it yesterday—they took a former Biden official to the woodshed over this laughable, and frankly, beyond worthless, op-ed where they expound on –get this—fixing our immigration system. You cannot make this up. The entitlement these people have, as if we want to hear what those who allowed a four-year invasion to go unfettered have to say. Biden and his clown crew imported the third world, who terrorized our communities. We’re sending them all back.

The surge in illegal crossings at our southern border during the first three years of Joe Biden’s presidency was, by any reasonable definition, a crisis. The failure to acknowledge this reality and take timely action to try to resolve it cost Democrats a great deal of trust with American voters. It contributed to President Trump’s return to the White House.

Blas Nuñez-Neto, an assistant secretary for border and immigration policy at the Department of Homeland Security under the Biden administration, penned the piece titled, “I Was One of Biden’s Border Advisers. Here’s How to Fix Our Immigration System”:

I had a front row view of all this in my role as the assistant secretary for border and immigration policy at the Department of Homeland Security. I learned that the border crisis is, to a large extent, an asylum crisis: Our broken immigration laws have increasingly incentivized economic migrants to claim that they fear persecution in order to start a lengthy administrative process that allows them to remain in the United States and work. The political left typically refers to these immigrants as asylum seekers, because our laws allow them to make those claims. Many on the political right refer to them as criminals, because, they often say, crossing the border without documentation is a crime.

The fact that both views have at least some merit shows the dysfunction in our immigration laws. Only Congress can fix those laws, and until its members — from both parties — take action, the challenges at our border will continue.

Illegal entries at our southern border started increasing in the summer and fall of 2020 — when Mr. Trump was still in office. It turned into a tidal wave in 2021, even as Mr. Biden swung the pendulum too far to the left early in his term, including by announcing a 100-day pause on most deportations. I was in Del Rio, Texas, in September 2021 and saw the chaos that resulted when as many as 15,000 people amassed under the International Bridge.

“The Department [of Justice] has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible,” Blanche said.

Border czar Tom Homan, who previously served as acting director of ICE, said on Fox News that attacks on ICE officers have increased since last year by 690% as of July 4. Homan cited Congress’s rhetoric as one reason for the increase in attacks.

“We have senators, we have Congresspeople, that compare ICE to the Nazis, compare ICE to racists, and it just continues. The public thinks, ‘well if a member of Congress can attack ICE, why can’t we,’” Homan said.

In 2024, from Jan. 21 to June 30, there were only 10 attacks on ICE agents, according to the Department of Homeland Security. In 2025, during that same period, ICE reported 79 attacks on agents. DHS said the increase is likely due to the speed at which the attacks occur, some of which go unaccounted for.

Border czar Tom Homan lashed out against Democrats for their rhetoric against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and President Donald Trump’s border policies.

During an interview on Fox News, Homan discussed the recent shooting of a police officer at an ICE facility in Texas. “Who were these suspects who were fired, who actually fired the shots and were later arrested? Who were they, Tom?” the host asked.

“Look, they’re your typical protester that go from protester to criminals,” Homan replied. “The attacks on ICE officers…is up nearly 700% now. We were talking 500% a couple of weeks ago, so it continues.”

Homan continued, explaining how the rhetoric coming from Democrats about ICE is inspiring some of the recent attacks on ICE agents. “The rhetoric against the men and women of ICE is skyrocketing, especially by members of Congress,” he said. “We have senators, we have Congress people that compare ICE to the Nazis, compare ICE to racists.”

The border czar continued, “So the public thinks, ‘Well, if a member of Congress can attack ICE, why can’t we?’ The rhetoric has to stop, or it’s a matter of time befor someone, one of the ICE officers goes down or a criminal goes down. We’ve already seen an officer go down.”

An unspoken rule among the Washington establishment is that once Congress throws money at a spending program that decision should be treated as irrevocable. If a future Congress shows any fiscal conservatism and tries even to address some of its waste and abuse, left-wing lawmakers—and their allies in the media—will excoriate them for making supposedly radical cuts.

Before the House voted Thursday to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries went on a record 8.5-hour rant on the House floor accusing Republicans of an “all-out assault on the health and well-being of everyday Americans.”

If that sounds ominous, note that he also called the bill “an all-out assault on the care being provided by Planned Parenthood” for prohibiting Medicaid funds from going to abortion providers for one year. Phrases like “health care” and “all-out assault” mean something different to the far left than to the rest of us.
