Alaska's NPR-A Is Open for Business

The Trump administration's Bureau of Land Management has rescinded a Biden-era restriction on oil and gas extraction in the National Petroleum Reserve, Alaska (NPR-A). More of Alaska's North Slope is now ready and open for "drill, baby, drill."
As is so often the case, Must Read Alaska's Suzanne Downing has the news.
The Department of the Interior announced Monday that it has rescinded three policy documents that placed new restrictions on development within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.
The decision, issued by the Bureau of Land Management, reverses
Former "Hardball" host Chris Matthews couldn't even spin President Donald Trump's last six months in office and said that the "country is moving towards Trump," and explains why.
During the ex-MSNBC host's appearance on "Charlie Rose," Matthews said he's just not buying into recent polls showing Trump's approval at 37 percent and 41 percent, because America wants a strong figure and he's "got it." It starts at the 32:20 minute mark. "To be honest with you, the country is moving towards Trump," Matthews explained. "These polls, they come out and show him not doing well — I don't buy that. His strength is still greater than the Democrats' strength."

U.S. tariffs on incoming goods look to be settling in only slightly less than what President Donald Trump had threatened in April, but the difference has been enough to ease some of Wall Street’s worst recession fears.
With the U.S.-European Union trade deal over the weekend, it now appears that the effective tariff rate, or the net impact aside from the nominal level, will end up in the 15%-20% range. That’s well above the low single-digit rate in place at the beginning of the year, but well off the feared 25% rate or worse that could have happened as a result of the April 2 announcement.

"Top 10 US Cities With the Most Dangerous Nighttime Vibe While Walking That I Have Visited"
I picked these titles at random from the popular YouTube channel of Charlie Moore, a former Detroit cop who films his drives through inner city urban areas. The Atlantic characterized these journeys as “hood safaris,” implying that it’s racist to document the unfathomable danger the residents of our most crime-ridden cities face every day, even though Moore himself is black. I challenge anyone to watch just one of these videos and not instead ask:
A hallmark of President Donald Trump’s second term is that he’s not just promoting his own policies — he’s looking to shake up the American power structure from top to bottom.
Step by step, he is undermining or destroying the left’s decades-old program to achieve total dominance of government and politics through its control of money and institutions.
That’s what Trump is up to with his plan to move much of the federal bureaucracy out of the Washington, DC, area and into the rest of the country.
In doing so, he’s infuriating federal bureaucrats leading cushy lives in DC and its suburbs
A 36-year-old married police officer and three other people were shot and killed by a crazed gunman who stormed a swanky Midtown skyscraper early Monday evening — sparking mayhem in Midtown before turning the gun on himself, police said.
The 27-year-old maniac, identified as Las Vegas resident Shane Tamura, barged into the 44-story building — which houses Blackstone and the NFL headquarters — armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m. during the evening rush, cops and law enforcement sources told The Post.
Police on Sunday identified the 42-year-old man accused of wounding 11 people in a random stabbing spree at a Walmart in Michigan.
Authorities identified the suspect as Bradford James Gille, of Afton, Michigan, on Sunday afternoon. Police are seeking to file terrorism charges and 11 charges of assault with intent to murder against Gille.
Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea noted that Gille has a history of prior assault incidents as well as controlled substance violations. Shea added that a motive for the stabbing was not yet known.
Thailand and Cambodia reached a ceasefire deal "through trade," President Donald Trump announced Monday, ending a burgeoning conflict that displaced 260,000 people.
The declaration from Trump comes after he said over the weekend that he had spoken to the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand, urging a ceasefire, adding the U.S. would not get back to the "trading table" with the southeast Asian countries until fighting stops.
The fighting began Thursday after a land mine explosion along the border wounded five Thai soldiers. Both sides blamed each other for starting the clashes that have killed at least 35 people and displaced more than 260,000 people on both sides.

A lot of things changed when President Donald Trump won his second term in November of 2024. One of those was the environment in which the mainstream networks and newspapers would have to operate going forward.
Had Kamala Harris won the election, the status quo would have been maintained, but Trump coming out victorious took so much air out of the balloon, and we are starting to see the effects of that. The firing of far-left late-night host Stephen Colbert was probably the most visible example, but papers like The Washington Post can no longer afford to keep bleeding money either.
They never learn. It doesn't matter what accomplishments Donald Trump racks up. To his detractors, they'll always discount the good, magnify what they perceive to be the awful, and predict imminent doom for the entire MAGA movement.
Last week alone, the President had enough wins to fill presidential libraries of other presidents with four or eight years in the White House. On Friday, Trump addressed the press gaggle on the White House lawn before heading to Scotland for some golf (I'm reliably told they've played that game there for a long time) and to hold a few meetings. Some of the meetings were trade-related,
Fresh off his trade triumph at the EU, Donald Trump has now set his sights further east to Moscow. Thanks to his new agreement with the largest trading bloc in the West, Trump has already set Europe up to wean itself -- slowly -- from Russian energy imports. As Duane pointed out earlier, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion in American liquified natural gas over the next several years, which won't entirely replace Russian imports but should put a big dent in Vladimir Putin's income stream almost immediately.
After the most recent wave of attacks on Ukrainian civilian population centers, Trump expressed frustration with Putin and warned that he would accelerate

Police in Cincinnati are investigating a viral video that shows what appears to be a violent brawl in the downtown section of the city. The fight happened on Friday night, between Elm and Fourth Streets, according to FOX 19 in Cincinnati. Several videos of the fight have made the rounds on social media.
A man in a white t-shirt appears to be shoved to the ground by two other men and mercilessly beaten. The video then shows others in the crowd, women included, joining in on the beating. The man's head appears to be stomped multiple times.
Cancel the 2028 L.A. Olympics

This show must not go on.
It’s time, right now, for greater Los Angeles to halt all preparations to host the 2028 Summer Olympics. Let’s turn over these Games to a world city better positioned to host them.
Not because Angelenos don’t love the Olympics. We are a proud Olympic city, shaped by the 1932 and 1984 Games. In normal times, the city’s incomparable international connections, entertainment assets and sports facilities would make us the perfect host for what LA 28 chair Casey Wasserman calls “the largest peacetime gathering in the history of the world.”
But it’s no longer peacetime in Los Angeles.
This event is now too dangerous for California.
French Prime Minister François Bayrou is criticizing the trade deal struck by President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as an act of “submission” by the European Union (EU).
“It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, united to affirm their values and defend their interests, resolves to submission,” Bayrou said in a post on social platform X early Monday. The agreement sets tariffs at 15 percent for European imports, including automobiles. That’s lower than the 30 percent tariff Trump had threatened to impose on the EU but higher than some European officials would have liked to see —
CIA Director John Ratcliffe revealed Sunday that explosive new evidence tied to the Russia collusion hoax is about to be declassified—and it points directly at Hillary Clinton and key Obama-era intelligence officials. During an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Ratcliffe confirmed that the classified annex to Special Counsel John Durham’s report will soon be made public, and what it contains could dramatically shift the narrative on the origins of Crossfire Hurricane.
“And what that intelligence shows, Maria, is that part of this was a Hillary Clinton plan, but part of it was an FBI plan to, uh, be an accelerant to that fake Steele dossier,
The owner of a Florida telecommunications company will spend the next five years in prison and his firm must pay a hefty fine regarding an “Obama phone” scam.
Q Link Wireless LLC and its owner, identified as CEO Issa Asad, previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit wire fraud and steal federal funds from the Lifeline program that began in the 1980s, Fox News reported Sunday.
The program offers subsidized cellphone services to lower-income people. In 2012, a video emerged of a protester outside a Mitt Romney event who claimed her neighbors received an “Obama phone,” Breitbart News reported at the time.
Matson Inc., a major ocean cargo carrier in the trans-Pacific trade, announced this week that they have decided to stop carrying electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles on their ships, effective immediately.
Some in the industry were shocked and upset.
Matson, after all, has never had a ship sink as a result of an EV fire. What are they worried about?
But there have been three especially severe EV fires on cargo ships in just the past three years: the Felicity Ace in 2022, the Fremantle Highway in 2023, and most recently, the Morning Midas in 2025, each fire destroying thousands of vehicles each along with much or all of the vessels.
Sources told FOX 5 NY that at least six people were shot—one of them a police officer—after gunfire broke out in Midtown Manhattan on Monday afternoon, triggering a massive law enforcement response outside a high-rise building that houses the NFL’s New York offices and Blackstone’s headquarters. (snip)What we know:
The shooting took place near Park Avenue and East 51st Street. NYPD and Sheriff’s Department officers were seen responding in tactical gear, with weapons drawn. A FOX 5 NY employee at the scene captured video of officers carrying one person and tending to another lying on the ground.
Last year, California scientists sparked outrage with a botched test on an old aircraft carrier, spraying saltwater to create artificial clouds and block sunlight.
The tiny Alameda trial lasted just 20 minutes before furious city officials yanked the plug, slamming the team for zero advance notice.
The team responsible were involved with the Marine Cloud Brightening Program based in the University of Washington.
Now documents exposed by Politico, through an open records request to the University of Washington, reveal they plotted a far bigger gamble: a multimillion-dollar ocean experiment covering an area larger than Puerto Rico, aimed at cooling the planet.

President Donald Trump is once again setting the record straight — this time blasting the media’s selective amnesia on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal while revealing he rejected an invitation to Epstein’s notorious “pedo island,” unlike former President Bill Clinton, who allegedly made 28 separate visits.
Speaking Monday during a press appearance in Scotland with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Trump unloaded on the legacy media for ignoring the real predators connected to Epstein.
“I never went to the island, and Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. I never went to the island, but Larry Summers, I hear, went there.

This week, I got a call from the National Republican Congressional Committee. They wanted a donation.
For the first time, I let the volunteer on the other end of the line make her case. When she asked me to donate $100, I said to her: “I want you to know that normally, I would hang up on these calls because the Republican Party would get nothing done, and often squanders its political capital. However, this is the first time I am planning to donate. You are getting sh—t done!”She almost cried with relief, and she thanked me.
Cincinnati police have identified at least four suspects in the brutal beatings of a white man and white woman by a mostly Black mob Friday night in the downtown area of the city, according to the local Fraternal Order of Police and Fox News.
Videos and screen images of the attack went viral over the weekend, drawing comments from Ohio native Vice President J.D. Vance, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division Harmeet Dhillon who said she is monitoring the case and Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH).

The U.S. DOGE Service is using a new artificial intelligence tool to slash federal regulations, with the goal of eliminating half of Washington’s regulatory mandates by the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and four government officials familiar with the plans. The tool, called the “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,” is supposed to analyze roughly 200,000 federal regulations to determine which can be eliminated because they are no longer required by law, according to a PowerPoint presentation dated July 1 and outlines DOGE’s plans. The PowerPoint says: 50 percent are not required by law, 38 percent are statutorily mandated
