Consequences. How do they work again? Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave everyone a preview late yesterday: That was not a bluff or an academic statement. Earlier today, the Department of Homeland Security detained the family of the Boulder "Free Palestine" terrorists after the State Department revoked the visas for his wife and children. DHS now has the Solimans on the fast track to get booted out of the country, according to ABC News:
The wife and children of Boulder, Colorado, terrorism suspect Mohamed Soliman are in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the family is being processed for expedited removal,

Financial services company Citi is walking back its political de-banking policy and its requirement for retail clients to restrict gun sales, making it the latest large corporation to distance itself from progressive corporate governance.
Citi announced the changes Tuesday after examining its corporate policies in light of shifts to the regulatory climate and President Trump’s executive orders.

President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are to blame for Sunday’s Boulder, Colorado terror attack, according to leftist pundit Keith Olbermann, who claimed the administration’s immigration crackdown is “merely to satiate the sadism of Trump and Miller and the psychopaths who support them,” calling it a performance and “a preliminary to ethnic cleansing in this country.”
On Tuesday, former sports analyst and left-wing commentator Keith Olbermann unleashed a fiery tirade against President Trump in a promo for the new episode of his Countdown podcast, claiming Trump and his allies are directly responsible for the recent terror attack in Boulder.

The Kennedy Center began the month of June by debuting the Angel Studios hit film “The King of Kings,” an animated movie that goes through the life of Jesus. It comes after a week’s worth of events celebrating LGBTQ+ rights ahead the World Pride festival in Washington, D.C. were canceled.
The Center held two showings of the film on June 1 as part of its effort to revamp its family-focused programming to include more faith-based content. Both shows were a “huge success” and the event’s prayer wall was “completely full,” a spokesperson for The Kennedy Center told Breitbart News.

Former Acting US Secret Service Director Ron Rowe has finally resigned from the agency.
Earlier this year President Trump announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director.
Ron Rowe who served as the acting Secret Service Director after Kim Cheatle resigned last summer remained on payroll as a “senior advisor” for several months.
Rowe is a typical Washington bureaucrat who led the bureau before the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life during the 2024 Campaign.
Director Rowe also was caught in a blatant lie after President Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.
President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice started investigating former President Joe Biden’s pardons, specifically the preemptive pardons he gave his family and clemency for 37 prisoners on federal death row.
Biden pardoned:
Hunter Biden
Brother James and his wife Sara
Brother Francis
Sister Valerie and her husband John Owens
The preemptive pardon for Hunter infuriated numerous people, especially since it covers charges he faced or might have faced from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024.
Unfortunately, Reuters reported the DOJ investigation first. I say unfortunately because, of course, the author tried to water down the pardons and the possibility that Biden didn’t even sign them by attacking Trump.
Anyway, the wire organization reviewed an email
A federal jury convicted the CEO of Power Mobility Doctor Rx, LLC, of deliberately exploiting the federal health care system by focusing on self-serving financial gain over the medical needs of patients.Gary Cox for his role in operating a platform that generated false doctors’ orders to defraud Medicare and other federal health care benefit programs of more than $1 billion. According to court documents, Cox, along with his co-conspirators, exploited hundreds of thousands of Medicare beneficiaries by misleading them into accepting unnecessary medical items like orthotic braces and pain creams. They used an online platform, DMERx, to generate fake doctors’ orders
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the U.S. Navy to rename a ship honoring a San Francisco gay rights icon to something less ridiculous. A memo from Hegseth to Navy Secretary John Phelan directed that the Military Sealift Command underway replenishment oiler USNS Harvey Milk have its current name stricken. The memo indicates this will be the first of a wholesale renaming of the "John Lewis" class of logistics ships to ensure "alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture." According to ABC, "A defense official said the timing of the decision was intentional."
Delegations from Ukraine and Russia ended their second round of cease-fire negotiations in Turkey after just an hour.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on June 2 that the two sides were preparing for a new prisoner swap, and the Ukrainian delegation delivered a list of deported Ukrainian children to Russia that Kyiv wants returned home.
The previous round of direct talks in May also led to a swap of prisoners, with 1,000 on both sides being exchanged.
An unlicensed and illegal night club in South Carolina was raided at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday. The raid, called "Operation Last Stand," resulted in the arrest of 80 people.
Of the 80 people arrested, 66 individuals were illegal immigrants. Officers also arrested two confirmed "high level" cartel members, and one suspect who is wanted for murder in Honduras. Five criminal arrests were made in total.
There were over 200 people in the nightclub at the time of the raid, including seven juveniles, according to Charleston County Sheriff Carl Ritchie. The youngest minor present was thirteen years old. One juvenile found inside the club was classified as a missing person,
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted judges using their positions to block President Donald Trump’s executive orders on a national scale, an issue that has been the subject of debate since the president took office.
Democrats have been waging a full-on lawfare campaign against the Trump administration, now that they no longer control either chamber of Congress. They have filed a barrage of lawsuits challenging his policies related to immigration, the economy, and streamlining the federal government’s operations by laying off thousands of workers.

But there was more to his plan than just “black vs. white.” Obama’s carefully branded post-racial image covered up an even deeper strategy: using identity politics to turn white liberals into guilt-ridden political pawns. He didn’t just revive old racial grievances.
Let me get this straight.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, the career politician who’s been part of the Beltway furniture since “Cheers” was still on TV, is demanding an apology from Elon Musk?
That’s rich.
The same guy who’s spent decades helping bloat the federal government like a tick on a bloodhound now wants us to believe he’s suddenly concerned about “good governance” and “public trust.”
What Chuck really means is: How dare anyone actually shrink the government, eliminate waste, or, heaven forbid, fire a few useless paper-pushers?
Musk, tapped by President Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has done the unthinkable in Washington: He's told the truth and trimmed the fat.
Ever since JD Vance took office as vice president, I'll admit I've been intrigued by his wife, Usha.

The federal government cannot invalidate immigration documents that allow roughly 5,000 Venezuelan nationals living in the United States to remain in the country until October 2026, a federal court in California ruled on May 30.
In February, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated Venezuela’s 2023 designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a temporary immigration status granted when foreign nationals cannot return to their home countries because of safety concerns, such as ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or epidemics.
A TPS designation protects individuals from deportation and allows them to apply for authorization to work in the United States.
The Communist News Network (CNN) recently reported that the Democrat Party was scheming to win back the hordes of male voters they chased away prior to the 2024 election. Let's make fun of them!
The Democrats, still reeling from a wash-out election last November, apparently had a pow-wow and decided the way to win back votes from black men, Hispanic people, and young male voters of every stripe is to continue pushing trans madness, which is akin to fighting obesity by gorging on Twinkies.

A Russian rocket attack targeted the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Tuesday, killing at least four people and wounding 25, officials said. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the assault, saying it underscored that Moscow has no intentions of halting the 3-year-old war.
The attack came a day after direct peace talks in Istanbul made no progress on ending the fighting. Local authorities said the barrage of rockets struck apartment buildings and a medical facility in the center of Sumy.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s secret services said they struck inside Russia again, two days after a spectacular Ukrainian drone attack on air bases deep inside the country.

A surprise Ukrainian drone attack that targeted several Russian air bases hosting nuclear-capable strategic bombers was unprecedented in its scope and sophistication and for the first time reached as far as Siberia in a heavy blow to the Russian military.
Ukraine said over 40 bombers, or about a third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet, were damaged or destroyed Sunday, although Moscow said only several planes were struck. The conflicting claims couldn’t be independently verified and video of the assault posted on social media showed only a couple of bombers hit.
But the bold attack demonstrated Ukraine’s capability to hit high-value targets anywhere in Russia,
The legacy media finds itself in a dilemma of its own making. The depth and seriousness of Joe Biden’s mental and physical problems during his presidency are being exposed daily—ironically, much of it by the denizens of the legacy media as they feverishly attempt to absolve their culpability in keeping the American people in the dark about Biden’s unfolding mental and physical infirmities as well as what was really happening in the Oval Office. The net result of this disingenuous mea culpa will accelerate the already record downward spiral in the citizenry’s trust in the media.
It may seem a bit early to start gaming the 2026 midterm elections, but not for Senate races -- and perhaps especially in Texas, where even a deep-red electorate has its issues with its own incumbents. John Cornyn recently tried to move up the Senate Republican leadership ladder after the retirement of Mitch McConnell, eventually losing to John Thune for Majority Leader. That may not be Cornyn's last loss, according to a new poll out from UpOne Insights and GOP pollster Robert Blizzard. Texas AG Ken Paxton announced a primary challenge against the 73-year-old four-term incumbent, and Blizzard's poll of 600 registered Republican voters shows Cornyn down
COLORADO, USA — The family of the suspect in a Molotov cocktail attack in Boulder against a group raising awareness of Israeli hostages is being taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
The suspect, Mohamed Soliman, lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and five children, according to federal court documents. The immigration status of the family members is unclear. A DHS official told CNN on Tuesday that the family had been taken into ICE custody and was being processed.
If you spend any amount of time on X, it's impossible to miss the pattern.
Democrats are angry. Depressed. They scream at the camera. They fantasize about violence against "oppressors." They film themselves weeping, wailing, and gnashing their teeth. Just as you can be reasonably certain that anybody who flies an American flag is a Republican, you can be equally confident that everybody who wears a mask in 2025 (or back in 2024, 2023, or 2022) is a strong Democrat. Democrats scream about "feeling unsafe" when people disagree with them. They get deeply upset, even frantic, when their core beliefs are even mildly challenged.
Elon Musk, the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency, on Tuesday dismissed President Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending bill as a “disgusting abomination.”
“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” he said in a post on X.
“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” he added.
Musk’s comments on Tuesday represent an even harsher reaction to the bill than his previous criticisms. He had previously said he was “disappointed”
Federal agents have arrested a University of Michigan scholar from China on charges she tried to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States characterized as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon that can be used for targeting food crops.The FBI counterintelligence case against UM scholar Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Zunyong Liu, was unsealed in federal court in Detroit on Tuesday and marks the second time in less than a week a Chinese national with ties to the university has been charged with federal crimes.
Ukraine said on Tuesday that it had hit the bridge connecting Russia and the occupied Crimean Peninsula with explosives planted underwater, in its third attack on the vital supply line for Moscow’s forces since the full-scale war began in 2022. Ukraine’s security service, the SBU, said on Telegram that its agents had mined the piers of the road and rail Crimean Bridge, also called the Kerch Bridge, and detonated the first explosive at 4.44 a.m. Tuesday. The whole operation took several months, it added.
The agency said it had used 1,100 kilograms of explosives which “severely damaged” the underwater pillars supporting the bridge.
To kick off “Pride Pervert month” — best known as June — the moral degenerates of West Hollywood paraded this (warning: graphic) in front of children: (Snip) That sure looks like grooming to me! Of course, when you or I call out this evil for what it is, almost certainly we get labeled with what I have long referred to as “the dumbest word in the English language.” That word is “homophobe” (which stems from the equally dumb word “homophobia”).
“Homophobia” was coined by psychologist and gay activist George Weinberg in his 1972 book Society and the Healthy Homosexual. The book was published one year prior to the
One year ago, after winning the Dutch elections while forfeiting his right to be Prime Minister in order to get a coalition government formed, populist 'far-right' politician Geert Wilders thought all the ducks were in line to begin a shift away from what he felt were many of the ruininous European Union policies, particularly their immigration diktats.
In July of 2024, a Dutch government including Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV) was sworn in, and hopes were high all over Europe that a retreat from progressive leadership was beginning.
The Netherlands’ new cabinet was sworn in Tuesday, making it the first time that Geert Wilders’ far-right party became a part of the Dutch government.
The Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration is promising a full agency review of the safety of chemical abortion drug mifepristone after a new study raised concerns about its effects.
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary wrote a letter to pro-life Senator Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) Monday informing him of the agency’s plan to conduct a review of mifepristone.
“As with all drugs, FDA continues to closely monitor the postmarketing safety data on mifepristone for the medical termination of early pregnancy,” Makary said.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ) in Fairfax County, Virginia, became something of a household name in recent years, with a challenge to an allegedly racially discriminatory admissions scheme nearly reaching the U.S. Supreme Court and the school essentially selling proprietary education information to the Chinese. Despite the high court refusing to take the slam-dunk affirmative action case, the school is now being investigated from multiple angles by the Trump administration.
In the past two weeks, the Department of Education and the Department of Justice have opened tandem civil rights investigations into TJ, often called the country’s top public high school, and most recently, the Internal Revenue Service
Two staffers from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., were murdered in cold blood last week. A young radical chanting “free Palestine” was arrested after allegedly gunning them down outside an American Jewish Committee event at the Capital Jewish Museum. The victims were a young couple on the cusp of engagement, whose bright future together was extinguished in an instant by a fanatic who apparently wanted to “globalize the Intifada.” That’s the phrase chanted at anti-Israel demonstrations—referring to the terror campaigns that killed thousands of Israelis decades ago—and scrawled on statues and campus buildings. Consider the Intifada globalized.
Last week Ukraine presented President Donald Trump with their “term sheets,” what they require in order to accept a ceasefire. Today in Istanbul, Turkey, the Russian Federation presented the Ukraine delegation, and likely a transmission to the White House, with the Russian “term sheets.”
This further clarifies the content of the significant meetings this afternoon in the White House, where President Trump assembled his “military leadership” and likely foreign policy team.
(snip) Medinsky said that Russia has prepared a two-part “memorandum” proposing a ceasefire and ending the war it started. The second part of the “memorandum” provides for “variability” and “several paths”, he said.

In November 2022, Arizona voters narrowly approved Prop. 308, making Arizona the 24th state in the nation to offer taxpayer-subsidized, in-state tuition rates to illegals. Its narrow passage on the ballot was preceded by its razor-thin passage at the state legislature. It slipped out because two former Republican legislators, who had since lost their seats to primary challengers, rolled their caucus and voted in lock step with Democrats to force it for a vote.
The World Shuns Renewable Energy

The net-zero zealots want to force a worldwide renewable energy transition. But they don’t always get their way. Their fanciful projects have been blocked more than 1,000 times globally. In a world seemingly gone mad, this is welcome news.
“The total number of alt-energy rejections or restrictions now exceeds 1,000 — it’s 1,011 to be exact,” says energy author Robert Bryce, who operates a database that shows 814 U.S rejections of solar, wind and battery projects. Add those to others across the world and the total exceeds a grand.
“The rejections keep coming,” says Bryce. “Since the beginning of May,
Democrats' Party pearl-clutchers, perverts, and activists pretended to be upset last week over the idea that we’re all going to die. The fact is, we will all die someday, though their bad ideas will live on – 100,000,000 people were killed in the pursuit of the progressive political philosophy over the last century. There isn’t a single leftist alive who is bothered by that fact who can attest to that fact. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst told a group of liberals whining over the prospect of able-bodied adults without young children having to work to receive medical welfare that “Well, we’re all going to die.”
As our readers are well aware, President Trump warned California schools last week that they should not allow boys (and one boy in particular) to compete in the girls division at the state track and field championships over the weekend, and that the state could lose federal funding to its schools if this warning wasn't heeded. That boy, AB Hernandez, still competed, and won titles in a couple of events. Though the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), the state's high school sports governing board, amended its Bylaw 300.D (which mandates that boys who identify as girls be allowed to compete as a girl) for this meet through a "pilot program"

Like a washed-up frontman from a ‘90s boy band schooling today’s stars on stage presence, Bill Clinton has returned to the spotlight with a hot take: Joe Biden was a good president, and Donald Trump is destroying America’s legacy.
I suppose doom and gloom sells newspapers and gets clicks, because the media, including conservative media, trip all over themselves highlighting the Trump Administration’s set backs in federal court. The Trump Administration’s wins in federal court get much less attention. Nevertheless, the Trump Administration keeps chalking up wins in this endless sea of litigation. Some of these wins are huge. Here are a couple more.

Far-right lawmaker Geert Wilders pulled his party out of the ruling four-party Dutch coalition Tuesday in dispute over a crackdown on migration, sparking a political crisis and possibly the end of the 11-month-old government of Prime Minister Dick Schoof.
Wilders announced his decision in a message on X after a brief meeting in parliament of leaders of the four parties that make up the fractious administration.
The government meltdown comes just three weeks before the Netherlands is scheduled to host a summit of NATO leaders in The Hague and amid global instability.
It was unclear what would happen next.
Border czar Tom Homan warned Monday that he’s “convinced” the US will suffer a major terrorist attack as a direct result of former President Joe Biden’s immigration and border policies.
“It’s coming,” Homan said of the possibility of a 9/11-style attack conducted by migrants who illegally snuck across the southern border under Biden.
The roughly 2 million so-called “gotaway” migrants whom Border Patrol agents never apprehended during the previous administration concern Homan more than the drug smuggling or sex trafficking that took place on the US-Mexico boundary during Biden’s only term in office, he told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

A resolution to be debated by the Metro Nashville Council this week to recognize “Immigrant Heritage Month” also condemns last month’s joint operation between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Tennessee Highway Patrol conducted in the city, which saw the arrests of 196 criminal illegal aliens.

Brussels, the self-proclaimed capital of the European Union, is no longer the beacon of a united Europe, but an advanced symptom of its disintegration.
The normalization of radical Islamic and anti-Semitic discourse we are witnessing in Brussels is the result of 15 years of leaders abrogating their responsibility. Brussels, through its inability -- or unwillingness -- to make unpleasant but necessary choices, is setting itself up as the first potential locus of protracted European unrest.
The Islamist Team Fouad Ahidar party embodies a new situation: a political Islam that no longer hides its identity. Instead, it advocates that a religious identity be the underpinning of national cohesion.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) argued in a recent podcast appearance that part of President Trump’s strength lies in his ability to foster a sense of community, especially among young men. The comments from Walz, former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate, came during an appearance on the “Grounded” podcast hosted by former Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and journalist Maritsa Georgiou. Asked by Georgiou about the GOP’s efforts to reach high school students, Walz noted Trump has excelled in reaching Americans who might feel disconnected from one another in an increasingly fragmented society.
