This Father’s Day, remember the invisible
weight that many dads carry
Posted By: FlyRight, 6/15/2025 8:47:09 AM
This Father’s Day, many families will fire up the grill, hand out neckties or whiskey bottles, and celebrate the steady presence of the men who raised them. We honor the sacrifices dads make — their hard work, protective instincts, quiet love. But for many fathers, especially those who’ve served in uniform or carried other unseen burdens, the greatest gift might be something simple but rare: a moment of real understanding. I was 24 years old when I led an infantry platoon into Iraq. We breached the berm on the Kuwaiti border and pushed into cities where the future of a war — and our own identities — was uncertain.

We Voted to Deport Every Single One of Them

It’s strange how I keep being told by the regime media and Democrat political flunkies, to the limited extent that those are different things, about how I didn’t vote for what Donald Trump is doing to illegal aliens. I keep hearing about how I don’t want ICE raiding Home Depots, factories, and non-Beatles strawberry fields or sending away 30-year illegal aliens or illegal alien honor students. I’m told that Donald Trump only promised to deport criminal aliens – in the sense that they committed other crimes besides the crime they committed by being illegal aliens – and that Trump can’t actually send criminal aliens away either.
Democrats are quite the mess right now.
Their approval levels are in the basement. They're more known for embracing illegal aliens and demonizing law enforcement rather than doing anything productive. They even attacked the parade celebrating the Army's 250th birthday, which honored our warriors for 250 years of service. In attacking that, they were attacking the very history of America. Then on top of that, they face all kinds of internal confusion. They're trying to reach out to groups of people who have moved away from them, like young men.
So they voted David Hogg as a Vice Chair of the DNC to help bring in that demographic.
Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman, State Rep. Melissa Hortman, and their spouses were gunned down early Saturday morning by a man reportedly dressed as a police officer. Tragically, Rep. Hortman and her husband didn’t make it. The suspect, Vance Boelter, isn’t some random lunatic—he was actually appointed by Gov. Tim Walz to serve on a state Workforce Development Board as a private-sector representative. That detail alone raises serious questions. At the time of this writing, Boelter is still on the run after exchanging gunfire with police.

Iranian opposition group NCRI has unveiled explosive new evidence alleging that Iran’s nuclear weapons program has resumed under the direct supervision of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, representing a serious escalation with far-reaching implications for global stability and regional security.In a Tuesday press conference, Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)’s Washington Office, detailed findings from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), exposing Iran’s clandestine Kavir Plan — a covert nuclear weapons program disguised as satellite-launching missile research.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Thursday Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) should be charged after being apprehended by law enforcement during a Department of Homeland Security presser.
Padilla verbally identified himself as a senator but was not wearing the pin that identifies lawmakers from civilians.I think he should be charged. He should be prosecuted,” Greene said during a Thursday appearance on NewsNation’s “The Hill.
Padilla attended the news conference to address Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem amid the chaos in California caused by large-scale protests.
Greene said Padilla’s arrest was warranted because he was not wearing the pin, which “Secret Service and all Capitol police are trained to see.”
It's the fifth night of the "peaceful" anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, and the lawlessness is spreading throughout the country like, well, like wildfire. NBC reported that demonstrations were planned in cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta on Tuesday, and it looks like some of them are beginning to resemble what's going on in Southern California. The New York Post reports that at least 45 people have been arrested in New York City so far in various places throughout Lower Manhattan, including Foley Square. The Post also claims that large groups of people are wearing keffiyehs associated with the pro-Palestine movement.
Stop the presses — and roll the tape!
This Wednesday, the New York Post will launch a new podcast, Pod Force One, featuring legendary political columnist Miranda Devine interviewing Washington’s most influential disruptors.
Her first guest: None other than the president himself. “On Pod Force One, I’ll be speaking to the most powerful people in the world, finding out what really drives them — their motivations, beliefs, and desires. My first guest is the apex alpha of global politics, President Donald Trump,” Devine says.
Devine, who was the first to report on Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell,” will return every week with administration insiders, politicians and other newsmakers.
President Donald Trump confirmed Friday aboard Air Force One that he spoke with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) about removing Medicaid cuts in the House-passed bill that could hurt Trump supporters who go to rural hospitals.
Traveling aboard Air Force One for the first time in the second Trump administration, Breitbart News asked the president for his thoughts on removing the cuts as Hawley has suggested.
“We did speak about that. We’re really talking about waste fraud and abuse,” Trump said in the sky-set press gaggle.
As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk argued on social media on Thursday, the world’s richest man threatened to decommission a space capsule used to take astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station.
A few hours later, Musk said he wouldn’t follow through on the threat.
After Trump threatened to cut government contracts given to Musk’s SpaceX rocket company and his Starlink internet satellite services, Musk responded via X that SpaceX “will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.”
The decision, Barrack said, is part of a shift in the United States’ policies on Syria “because none of them worked” over the past 100 years.
Barrack spoke on Monday with the Turkish news channel NTN on several topics such as the Ukraine-Russia war, the ongoing conflict in Gaza, and Turkey-U.S. relations. Asked what kind of policy the United States seeks to implement on Syria, Barrack assured the interviewer, “Our current Syria policy will not be close to our Syria policy of the last 100 years, because none of them worked.”
The envoy announced the reduction of U.S. military bases in the Middle Eastern country.
President Donald Trump, speaking from the Oval Office Wednesday night, announced sweeping new travel restrictions in the wake of the recent terror attack in Boulder. Calling the attack a grim reminder of the dangers of unchecked immigration and lax visa policies, Trump outlined an executive order that reinstates and expands his signature travel ban from his first term. “The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted,” Trump said. “As well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. We don’t want them.”

Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the United States via Arab intermediaries, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing officials.
The report quotes officials as saying that Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the US doesn’t join the hostilities.
They also sent messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday.
"Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we're not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a senior U.S. administration official. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said top U.S. officials have been in constant communications with Israeli officials in the days since Israel launched a massive attack on Iran in a bid to halt its nuclear program.
While thousands of liberals and left-wingers protested President Donald Trump’s agenda across the country on Saturday, many top Democrats were celebrating the lavish wedding of former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and Alex Soros, the son of left-wing megadonor George Soros. An attendee at the event told the Daily Caller News Foundation that big-name guests included former Vice President Kamala Harris, Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California. Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton also attended the wedding and delivered remarks, The New York Times reported.
House Speaker Mike Johnson rightly stated that Sen. Alex Padilla's thuggy behavior, lunging into the personal space of Homeland Secuity Secretary Kristi Noem as she was trying to give a speech in Los Angeles, was well worth congressional censure.
But that's not how the left saw it. The Los Angeles Times ran an op-ed by a leftwing lawyer-activist with this headline:
Trump’s war on Latinos reaches a new low in abuse of Sen. Alex Padilla
Rep. Ilhan Omar called the apprehension of the hulking apparent attacker on a slight woman giving a speech "lawless" and demanded an investigation.
Hollywood Celebrities Turn Out for Chaotic

‘No Kings’ Marches: ‘We’re Disgusted
and We’re Scared’ 26 replies
A long list of Hollywood celebrities took to the streets Saturday as tens of thousands of mostly white, older Americans joined the “No Kings” protests in many big, deep-blue cities.
Celebs including Mark Ruffalo, Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Cryer, and more were seen mixing with the hoi polloi in places like New York City and Los Angeles.
For instance, Disney and Marvel Studios star Mark Ruffalo, who was seen parading with actress Susan Sarandon, turned out on the streets of New York City to join the anti-Trump crowds.
“We see a president who has made himself a king and a dictator,” Ruffalo absurdly declared at the rally.
Los Angeles is home to a reported 1.8 million Spanish-speaking residents, but rarely do they hear the national anthem sung in that language. On Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, with 51,548 fans on their feet and television cameras trained on the field, Vanessa Hernández stood behind home plate and sang the national anthem, which is traditionally sung before every sporting event in the United States. Only this time, it was different. (Snip) Wearing a shirt adorned with the flag of her family’s homeland, Hernández’s voice quivered with emotion as she reached the final line, her eyes welling with tears. But
The Dem Minnesota state lawmaker who was assassinated by a crazed gunman in a rubber mask crossed party lines just days earlier and made a critical vote revoking health care coverage for illegal migrants.
Melissa Hortman, the state House Democratic leader, was the only member of her party to side with Republicans and vote to repeal taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage for adult illegal immigrants as part of this year’s budget bill.
She and her husband were gunned down on Saturday in Brooklyn Park just outside of Minneapolis, shortly after the same assassin is believed to have gravely wounded Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
There’s a narrative being pushed heavily by Democrat leaders and the media that the protests over the weekend were basically nonviolent and peaceful. I would argue that if you have to brag about that, that’s telling in of itself, but in this day and age, it also means it’s probably not entirely true. (Snip) In fact, there is footage of a bunch of “protesters” attacking a car in Los Angeles. The driver, who had every reason to be fearful, drove through them, running over one of the women attacking the vehicle. [Tweet, video]
It remains to be seen what will happen in this case.

After a U.S. district court judge barred parts of Donald Trump’s election integrity executive order in April, a coalition of 19 Democrat attorneys general found a second district court judge to block other crucial provisions of the order. Along with the requirement of proof of citizenship to register to vote, these provisions include measures that strengthen security protections for overseas voting and ensure that ballots meet an Election Day deadline instead of straggling in for weeks on end.
By law, only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections. But left-leaning Massachusetts Judge Denise J. Casper ruled on Friday that wannabe voters should not have to prove they are citizens

MN Murder Suspect’s Arrest: ‘It’s

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz took a coded swipe at President Donald Trump in a call to “decency” Sunday night after the arrest of a suspect accused of shooting two state lawmakers, killing one, and targeting a third in what he called a devastating breach of democratic norms. (Snip) Walz urged a return to political decency, linking the attack to a national climate of rhetorical hostility and calling out “mean tweets”: A moment in this country where we watch violence erupt, this cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), whom most people couldn’t pick out of a line-up before last week, wants America to believe his little performance during a Homeland Security press conference was totally spontaneous. Just an organic moment of righteous frustration, he claims. But we know better—his whole stunt reeked of a desperate cry for attention, and the more he tries to explain it away, the more obvious that becomes.
Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Padilla tried spinning his headline-grabbing antics as an innocent attempt to get information. “You can’t script this in Hollywood,” he said with dramatic flair, insisting he just happened to be near the press conference
