By Drew Berkemeyer | The Daily Wire The Secretary of State will be hosting a meeting in an effort to combat the “resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio will host representatives from more than 60 countries next week for a counterterrorism summit focused on what the Trump administration describes as a resurgence of transnational political extremism, particularly violent far-left networks. The July 15 gathering in Washington follows President Donald Trump’s counterterrorism strategy released earlier this year, which prioritizes disrupting politically motivated violent groups, including anarchist movements and what the administration describes as Antifa-affiliated networks, while also addressing extremists on the political right....

Trump Team Launches Major Investigation Into Foreign Labor Visa Fraud

By: Hannah Bates | The Federalist The Trump administration started a major investigation into H-1B and PERM foreign labor visas, the Labor Department’s Inspector General Anthony P. D’Esposito announced Wednesday. The investigation aims to take the “most aggressive action against foreign labor fraud by an Inspector General this administration” to further President Trump’s goal to end foreign violence on American soil and return jobs to the American people, D’Esposito told Fox Business.

U.S. Launches Major Strikes After Iran Targets Commercial Shipping

By Joshua Klein | Breitbart U.S. forces launched a series of what the military described as “powerful strikes” against Iran early Wednesday after Tehran attacked three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with U.S. Central Command declaring the Islamic Republic’s actions amounted to “a clear violation of the ceasefire.” CENTCOM said the strikes were intended to impose “heavy costs” on Iran for targeting civilian-crewed commercial shipping in an international waterway, describing the attacks as “unwarranted” and “dangerous.” The operation came as Washington and Tehran were implementing a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending months of regional conflict and restoring safe navigation through the strategic waterway. The escalation followed a ser...

Economists Say Trump Accounts Could Transform Long Term Savings For Millions Of Families

By Christina Park | Just the News Backed by a $1,000 government seed deposit and billions in private philanthropy, the new tax-deferred accounts aim to give American newborns a massive financial head start. "Trump Accounts” officially launched on Monday following a July 4 opening, drawing positive feedback from economists who project the program will provide significant financial benefits for American children nationwide.  The accounts come as part of Trump’s new tax law, the One Big Beautiful Bill, and are essentially tax-deferred investments for newborn American citizens born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. As of today, more than six million people have signed up for the accounts. The program includes an automatic seed deposit of $1...

Colorado AG Joins Lawsuit Over USPS Mail Ballot Proposal

By Marissa Ventrelli | The Denver Gazette The Colorado Attorney General’s Office joined 24 state attorneys general in filing a formal complaint against what it called the U.S. Postal Service’s attempt to aid President Donald Trump’s efforts to seize control of elections and restrict mail-in voting. In March, Trump signed an executive order calling for the compilation of a list of individuals in each state who are legally eligible to vote. Under the order, USPS would only be permitted to send mail ballots to individuals on the lists. Last month, a court struck down the executive order, ruling it unconstitutional. However, according to Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, USPS has not withdrawn its proposed rule to implement the order. “This is another...

FIFA Reverses Balogun Suspension After Trump Pushes Review

By: Matt Vespa | Townhall On Wednesday, Folarin Balogun received a red card during the US Men’s National Team’s game against Bosnia. We won 2-0. We’re facing Belgium tonight, but Balogun was supposed to be suspended. In an Independence Day miracle, FIFA reversed the suspension. Reportedly, President Trump assembled a team of lawyers to challenge it. Belgium is stunned (via CNBC): President Donald Trump reportedly asked FIFA to review a one-game World Cup suspension of U.S Men’s National Team striker Folarin Balogun before the international soccer regulatory body surprisingly reversed the ban on Sunday. Trump cheered FIFA’s decision, which allows the 25-year-old Balogun to play against Belgium in Monday’s match in Seattle. “Thank you to FIFA for doing what w...

The bonds that cannot be dissolved

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board The Declaration of Independence opens by taking something apart. Before it reaches life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it lays out why one people must "dissolve the political bands" that tie them to another. The founding act is a break. The signers put a tie of their own in its place. The last line is a pledge they made to each other, "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." Two hundred fifty years later, that pledge still holds. We asked readers on the Fourth to show us how they were marking America's 250th birthday and Colorado's 150th. The answers came from Washington, the California coast, a Delta County parade, festivities in Thornton, family fun in a backyard, a Castle Rock-to-Westminster flag drive and a smoke-dimme...

Davis Blasts Supreme Court Birthright Ruling Calling it a Betrayal of the Constitution

By Mike Davis | Commentary, Fox News Roberts and Barrett joined three liberal justices to block Trump's executive order under the 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court just delivered its most disastrous ruling in generations in Trump v. Barbara. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices to block President Donald Trump's executive order and hand over birthright citizenship to the children of tens of millions of illegal aliens and birth tourists from China and other enemy nations. The majority ruled that the 14th Amendment, which was passed after the Civil War to give former slaves equal rights, mandates citizenship to nearly anyone born on U.S. soil, even if they entered illegally, even if they’re a foreigner who hates...

By: Lauren Green | Colorado Politics Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) learned her Democratic opponent on Tuesday after both candidates advanced unopposed. Boebert is set for a matchup with Democrat Eileen Laubacher. Boebert originally representedColorado‘s 3rd Congressional District before she mounted a run in the 4th District after winning by just a few hundred votes in 2022.
