in Trump-backed law they voted against

Democratic lawmakers decried it as the “Big, Ugly Bill,” but some members of the minority party are beginning to praise — and even take credit — for various provisions within President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Communities across the country stand to gain billions of dollars in federal funding from the president’s sweeping tax relief and immigration law that Trump signed on July 4. Several congressional Democrats are beginning to claim responsibility for provisions they deem beneficial to their constituents despite fiercely opposing the bill during its passage.

over Trump judging prestigious teen modeling contest 10 replies
Trump Derangement Syndrome found a resurgence with “UNEARTHED” video of the future president judging models, drowning out coverage of a predecessor’s alleged “treason.”
Likely surprising no one, corporate media had yet to have its fill of demonizing President Donald Trump. Despite the chief executive calling for the release of grand jury transcripts to advance transparency regarding the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, MeidasTouch dredged up decades-old footage of the then-businessman at a modeling competition with “participants as young as 14-years-old.”
A clip from the Elite Modeling 1991 Look of the Year contest,
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is facing an ethics complaint for “improperly inserting himself” in a proceeding.
The New York Democrat was accused of “clear corruption” after he called on federal district judges to remove acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba from her position. Habba, a former legal spokesperson for the Trump campaign, has been serving as the acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey and is still awaiting Senate confirmation.
Habba charged Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., with obstructing Homeland Security agents after the lawmaker allegedly assaulted law enforcement officers outside of an immigration detention facility in Newark back in May. McIver has pleaded not guilty
A twice-deported illegal alien, convicted of killing 19-year-olds Anna Varfolomeeva and Nicholay Osokin in the sanctuary state of California, has been taken into federal custody after serving just three and a half years in prison for vehicular manslaughter.
Varfolomeeva and Osokin, who were dating, were killed in November 2021 in Orange County, California, by Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano who was drunk, high, and driving 100 mph on the 205 freeway at the time. The teens were burned alive in the crash.
The following year, Ortega-Anguiano was convicted on two counts of vehicular manslaughter while drunk and sentenced to just 10 years in prison for killing Varfolomeeva and Osokin.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued a demand Monday for the “immediate withdrawal” of all soldiers from Los Angeles, after the Pentagon announced that the U.S. Marines would be pulling out of the city.
In a statement, Newsom said:
The women and men of the California National Guard deserve more than to continue serving as puppets in Trump and Stephen Miller’s performative political theater. There was never a need for the military to deploy against civilians in Los Angeles. The damage is done, however. We, again, call upon them to do the right thing and end the militarization once and for all.
In the famous words of Ed O’Neill from Wayne’s World 2, “people need to be entertained.” Unfortunately, today’s late night comics didn’t embrace this motto and broke hard left in favor of partisan politics, with one of the worst offenders being Stephen Colbert.
If Colbert had simply stuck to the formula followed by the late great Johnny Carson of “Tonight Show” fame, it might have saved him. The simple trick was as follows: Don’t get political.
Carson was the master. Beloved by all. Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike tuned in with gratitude. Because he had only one goal in mind: To make us laugh.
WASHINGTON — Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.
In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?” sources said.
El Salvador President Nayibe Bukele responded to Hunter Biden’s insane rant against Trump’s immigration policies.
Hunter Biden went off on a profanity-laced tirade during an interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan and at one point asserted if he were president, he would invade El Salvador and kidnap prisoners.
The Trump Administration is deporting some of the most dangerous illegal alien killers and rapists and Hunter Biden is angry about it and lashing out.
President Trump deported illegal alien criminals – FROM El Salvador – to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.
Over the weekend two illegal aliens with lengthy and violent arrest records shot a Border Patrol agent in the face. The attack happened in New York. One of the illegal aliens was previously arrested for attempted kidnapping in Massachusetts and stabbing, yet was released under dangerous sanctuary policies. [Tweets, video]
On Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan held a press conference in New York City, vowing to “flood the zone” against sanctuary jurisdictions and those harboring illegal aliens.
More Satisfying Than Being Number One

There was a moment this week—brief, unassuming, and barely covered in the blaring swirl of press microphones and boom cameras—when one of the most dominant athletes in the world offered a sermon disguised as a shrug.
Scottie Scheffler, the current World No. 1 in golf, sat before a packed room of reporters ahead of the 153rd Open Championship in Northern Ireland. As expected, the questions were incessant: what does it mean to be No. 1, what drives him to win, how does he stay so mentally sharp? Sports journalists, trained to extract sound bites, wanted a narrative. Scheffler gave them something far more meaningful.
“There’s a theme,” he said early on.
Read Our Lips - No Amnesty Ever

There is cringe, and then there is the DIGNITY Act. It’s one of those stupid bills whose authors turn its title into a stupid acronym, but this latest amnesty proposal doesn’t make an acronym out of “DIGNITY”; fittingly, it makes it out of the Spanish word “DIGNIDAD” (Dignity) and stands for “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream.” We should ignite it all right, and deliver it to be used as a suppository, not just because of that idiocy, but because there’s so much more to hate. Basically, it’s a free ride for illegal aliens in exchange for enforcement that will never happen
Hunter Biden lashed out at the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, arguing there would be no one to cook, clean and do landscaping if they are all deported.
In a wide-ranging, profanity-laced interview with Andrew Callaghan, the former first son took issue with Democrats who believe American concerns about illegal immigration need to be addressed.
“F*** you,” he said. “How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your f****** table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your f****** garden.

A former NPR CEO made a shocking admission about Congress voting to cut federal funding for the news outlet and other public media organizations.
During an interview on MSNBC, Vivian Schiller suggested that NPR will survive without federal funding and that leaders should work together to adapt to the new development.
“The fact is, this is done, the money is gone, the rescission has happened so my perspective now is let's move on,” she said. “Look in many cases, I have long believed that mixing journalism and federal funding is just a recipe for disaster, so in many ways I think this is an opportunity for a reset.”

Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., have introduced a bill that would generally require those conducting in-person business to accept cash as payment from customers. "Any person engaged in the business of selling or offering goods or services at retail to the public who accepts in-person payments at a physical location … shall accept cash as a form of payment for sales made at such physical location in amounts up to and including $500 per transaction," the measure stipulates, in part.
James Comey broke his silence on Sunday evening and went off on President Trump after the Justice Department fired Maurene Comey.
Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey, was fired as a federal prosecutor in the Manhattan US Attorney’s office last Wednesday.
“There was no specific reason given for her firing from the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York, according to one of the people who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters,” the AP reported.
Maurene Comey didn’t call out Trump by name, but she attacked the president and his administration in a message after being fired.

In a post on X, Fateh, who is described as the Minneapolis version of socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, revealed that the DFL had endorsed him. Fateh expressed that he was “honored” and added that the endorsement was “a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual.”
“I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor,” Fateh said in his post. “This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us.”
The Deep State Is in Real Trouble Now

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just lit a fuse under the deep state—and it’s about time.
Appearing Sunday on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Gabbard dropped a stunning accusation: that Barack Obama personally directed a “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began. And now, according to Gabbard, the floodgates are opening—whistleblowers who were sickened by what they witnessed are starting to come forward.
Now that President Trump's National Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, is exposing the depths of the Democrat deep state's disinformation operation against President Trump as a Russian agent as he entered office in 2021, it's worth noting that the operation had a lot of casualties on the way -- people who were smeared, often in the press at the explicit direction of the Obama White House -- one of whom was Gabbard herself.
Anyone recall how Hillary Clinton attempted to smear Gabbard herself as a "favorite of the Russians" and a "Russian asset"?

President Trump deported illegal alien criminals – FROM El Salvador – to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.
Two impeachments didn’t do it. A phony Russian hoax didn’t do it. A dubious election loss didn’t do it. Relentlessly negative coverage didn’t do it. Civil and criminal judgments and massive fines didn’t do it. Two assassination attempts didn’t do it.
Maybe Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost will finally bring Donald Trump down. That seems to be the hope, anyway.
Epstein, who hobnobbed with the rich and famous, had been under investigation since 2005 for sex trafficking and pedophilia, and died in prison six years ago, has been responsible for conspiracy theories for years.

On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell should be given immunity and be compelled to testify before a congressional committee about the Jeffrey Epstein files. Host Shannon Bream said, “You mentioned Ghislaine Maxwell. She’s still got an appeal. I’m tracking at the Supreme Court, but in the meantime, you suggest she should be potentially offered congressional immunity to go and testify. Do you think that would happen? And what kind of information would she have that we haven’t seen?”
Most people use their allotted sick time for an unexpected illness, sick child, or medical procedure and don't see the utilization of that time as having the potential to be an act of civil disobedience or protest against the government or their employer. However, one group rising in membership plans to use their sick time for precisely that — taking a page out of organized labor's handbook and using their collective action to expose and potentially even directly impact what they view as systemic injustices against the working class of the United States. Known as "The People's Sick Day," the online

Why am I not surprised?? President Trump’s Rapid Response needs to get on top of this, especially with the 2026 midterms coming up. It wouldn't surprise me if the left tried to take credit for the whole thing!!
