Trump calls CNN ‘scum,’ demands apology to military for Iran strike coverage

By Nicole Silverio | Daily Caller President Donald Trump called CNN and MSNBC “gutless losers” on Tuesday over their reporting on the bombing of Iran while taking questions about the conflict on the south lawn of the White House. CNN and MSNBC both raised questions about whether the B-2 bombs “completely and totally obliterated” the three nuclear facilities located outside of Tehran. Trump said that the outlets, which he referred to as “scum,” owed the B-2 pilots who put their lives on the line an apology. “I think it’s been completely demolished. I think that the reason we’re here is because those pilots, those B-2 pilots, did an unbelievable job,” Trump said while being aired by CNN. “And the fake news, CNN in particular, they’re trying to say ‘well, I agree that ...

Veterans win big—2M VA claims processed faster than any year before

By Leo Shane III | Military Times Veterans Affairs officials on Tuesday announced staffers had already processed more than 2 million disability benefits claims this fiscal year, the fastest the department has ever reached that mark. The processing milestone occurred nearly one month earlier than in fiscal 2024 and puts department claims workers on pace for another record-breaking year in terms of total cases completed. The work finished thus far represents almost $120 billion in compensation and pension benefits to veterans and survivors paid out since last October. In a statement, VA Secretary Doug Collins credited the progress to a refocusing of the department’s mission in recent months. “VA has reduced the claims backlog and has processed t...

Waltz: What our nation’s founders didn’t foresee—and the Left is exploiting

By Jim Waltz | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice This summer’s news reported in the media is focused on the fierce opposition to the deportation of illegal immigrants. The persistent rioting drains federal and state resources from their duty to uphold the law, including the removal of illegal immigrants present in our country. Removing residents from any locale undermines the left’s effort to alter future elections by tampering with the upcoming census. The real purpose of the left's open border advocacy is not rooted in humanitarianism (for example, Martha's Vineyard relocated about 50 immigrants, declaring their lack of resources—yet they can still accommodate some 150,000 paying tourists annually). It is an attempt to affect our Constitutional right to a census, the next t...

Patel & Bongino: FBI Hid Intel Proving China Interfered in U.S. Election

By John Solomon | Just the News "Previous FBI leadership chose to play politics and withhold key information from the American people," the bureau's new top two leaders say. FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino alleged Tuesday that the bureau's prior leadership "chose to play politics" and hide evidence from the American people of a Chinese plot to hijack the 2020 U.S. election with fake mail-in ballots for Joe Biden. The two FBI leaders' statement came a week after Just the News reported Patel turned over to Congress earlier this month a long-hidden intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to swing the 2020 election to Biden with fake mail-in ballots. Patel located the evidence based ...

Trump Tapped for Nobel Peace Prize After Iran-Israel Ceasefire Win

By Mairead Elordi | Daily Wire President Donald Trump is officially in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize after a Republican congressman formally nominated him on Tuesday. Representative Buddy Carter, a Georgia congressman, wrote to the Norwegian Nobel Committee recommending Trump for the prize “in recognition of his historic role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet,” he posted on X. On Monday, Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire,” adding that the “12 Day War” should be considered ended. Early the next day, both Iran and Israel accused the other of breaking the ceasefire, and the agreement appeared fragi...

Energy ‘equity’ exposed: Taxpayer subsidies for wind and solar—oil and gas get zero

Committee to Unleash Prosperity Time to cut the umbilical cord and let the free market determine where we get our energy. According to the Energy Information Administration, per unit of energy produced, oil and gas get zero subsidies (they are net taxpayers), nuclear gets less than $1, wind gets almost $6, and solar gets more than $40. These numbers put the lie to the claim that oil and gas get taxpayer subsidies. This study by EIA was done BEFORE the Biden Administration’s Green New Deal giveaways that added hundreds of billions more gifts to wind and solar and batteries.

Givas: Deportations Back On the Table as Trump Scores Major Court Victory

 By Nick Givas | Commentary, The Western Journal The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a huge win Monday on immigration, ruling that his administration could continue deporting illegal aliens to countries other than their own. The high court stated that in addition to being able to deport them to other countries, illegal immigrants would no longer be granted a “chance to show the harms they could face” if they were kicked out of the United States, as Reuters reported. The vote was 6-3, with the conservative majority banding together against the court’s liberal bloc to reverse a lower court order. The ruling was short and unsigned, but the three liberal judges issued a joint dissent, led by Obama appointee Justice Sonia Sotomayor. ...

Trump Cuts Through Forest Bureaucracy With Common-Sense Logging Reform

By: Morgan Lee and Becky Bohrer | Denver7 SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The Trump administration plans to rescind a nearly quarter-century-old rule that blocked logging on national forest lands, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced Monday. The roadless rule adopted in the last days of Bill Clinton's presidency in 2001 long has chafed Republican lawmakers, especially in the West where national forests sprawl across vast, mountainous terrain and the logging industry has waned. The rule impeded road construction and “responsible timber production” that would have helped reduce the risk of major wildfires, Rollins said at the annual meeting of the Western Governors Association. “This move opens a new era of consistency and sustainability for our nation’s forests," Rollins said. ...

Joondeph: Is MAGA Still on Track After the Escalator Ride 10 Years Ago?

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Businessman and T.V. personality Donald Trump descended the golden escalator at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan on June 16, 2015 to announce his bid to become president of the United States.  Trump was seen as a novelty candidate, running mainly to boost his ego and promote The Apprentice or his next entertainment project. His polling before the ride was weak. Monmouth University showed Trump at 2%, tied with Carly Fiorina and Lindsey Graham, ahead of only Bobby Jindal and John Kasich. He trailed the rest of the field, including Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, and Ben Carson.  But two months later, in August 2015, the same poll showed Trump with a 26% lead in the Rep...
