America First promised fewer wars. Iran is testing that promise

By Brian Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Five months into the Iran conflict, supporters are asking whether America First still means fewer wars. One of President Donald Trump’s defining campaign themes was refreshingly simple: America should stop fighting endless wars. He repeated that message across three presidential campaigns. Iraq was a mistake. Afghanistan became a twenty-year quagmire. America had spent trillions of dollars, sacrificed thousands of lives, and, too often, had little to show for it beyond instability and nation-building projects that rarely fulfilled their promises. During a 2016 presidential debate, Trump called the Iraq War “a big fat mistake.” Eight years later, while campaigning for a return to the White House, he promi...

Tech Leaders Say Misinformation Is Driving Resistance to Data Centers

By Christina Park | Just the News Facing NIMBY: Industry experts and lawmakers are pushing back against "disinformation" about data centers, arguing that they are vital for American jobs and technological leadership. State lawmakers and big tech are pushing back against misinformation surrounding data centers. Once welcomed for their local economic benefits, they say these facilities now face resistance due to fear and disinformation over water and electricity consumption, complicated by a global AI race against China. “What I want to do, and what President Trump wants to do is make sure we dominate the next revolution in technology, which is of course, AI and data centers,” economist Stephen Moore told the Just the News, No Noise show at the American ...

Trump Signals Stronger Response After Iranian Attacks on US Bases

By Amanda Head | Just the News Trump said "They're going to get a beating." The door would open thanks to Trump's fury over the pair of recent attacks on U.S. airbases and outposts in the region. The avenues of freedom for the Iranian people may come from a variety of directions. Following Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) missile attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Jordan, President Donald Trump is now signaling readiness for full-scale military action that could shatter the cycle of tit-for-tat exchanges and accelerate an end to the conflict, opening the door for a full-on revolution for the Persian nation.  "We're going to beat the f****** s*** out of them [...] We'll be hitting them hard. They're going to get a beating," Trump s...

Boebert Says Government Must Show Probable Cause and Secure Warrant Before Tracking Citizens

By Shaun Boyd | CBS Colorado From Flock cameras to facial recognition, mass surveillance is advancing; at the same time, privacy protections are eroding. The government can access, or buy access to, vast troves of data on Americans' emails, texts, bank records, even cloud data and justify it in the name of national security. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, a Republican who represents Colorado's 4th Congressional District, knows that firsthand. The Coloradan had just taken the oath of office in 2021 when Jan. 6 happened, and she became the subject of an FBI investigation dubbed Operation Rampart 12. "And this was all because I brought my family to the Capitol and had a tour," she said. Democrats accused her and at least three other Republ...

State Department Report Says Cuba Spent Decades Working To Undermine America

By Drew Berkemeyer | The Daily Wire The report accuses Havana of fueling Marxist movements, infiltrating the U.S. government, and serving as the center for the modern radical Left. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s State Department released a sweeping 99-page report on Monday portraying communist Cuba as the Western Hemisphere’s foremost engine of Marxist subversion, arguing that the island nation has spent decades cultivating revolutionary movements inside the United States and across the globe. The report, released alongside a statement from the State Department, casts the Castro regime not simply as a geopolitical adversary, but as the ideological nucleus of what it describes as the modern radical Left. “For more than six decades, the Cuban regime ...

Rubio Leads Global Counterterrorism Summit Focused On Violent Political Extremism

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....

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...

Gabbard Releases Declassified Files Alleging Fauci Ties To Wuhan Research

By Joseph Weber | Just the News Fauci was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the COVID pandemic. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Friday, on her final day on the job, said she is releasing "never-before-seen" communications and documents "exposing" how Dr. Anthony Fauci provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab in China. Fauci was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic. China has said the virus jumped from animal to human at a food market near the lab, which has also conducted so-called gain of function research, which is generally regarded as manipulating a virus to gain...

FBI says drone attack plot targeting White House UFC event was disrupted

By Chris Nesi | New York Post The FBI thwarted an explosive drone attack against Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn and have already taken five suspects into custody, it was revealed Tuesday. The multi-phase terror attack allegedly involved using explosive-laden drone aircraft to strike buildings in the vicinity of the event, sparking mass panic and driving the fleeing crowd toward a sniper team poised to pick them off, officials told Fox News Digital. A “second wave” of attackers then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, officials said. The bureau learned of the plot on June 10 and executed a search warrant in Cincinnati, where the first arrest was made. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST
