France denounces US-EU trade deal: ‘Submission’
Posted By: Mercedes44, 7/29/2025 6:10:23 AM
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 —

Emily Damari was shot in the hand by Hamas and kidnapped from her home in Kfar Aza in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The monsters also shot and killed her 11-year-old dog in front of her. The bullet that killed the dog also struck her leg. When she was released earlier this year, she returned with a bandaged hand and missing fingers, and only she and God know what kind of mental and emotional damage. Damari, who has dual British and Israeli citizenship, has been pretty outspoken about her ordeal, and she has tirelessly advocated for those who remain in captivity.
The Gross Domestic Product number is in.
The numbers are great, and as we seem to keep finding with President Donald Trump's economy, they're better than what was predicted. The second-quarter first read GDP is at three percent. The White House said it "shatters expectations."
President Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt both trumpeted the news and called on the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to lower rates.
Trump called on Powell to let people buy and refinance their homes.
Leavitt said:
Once upon a time in America, taxpayers were scandalized to learn the Pentagon paid $400 for a toilet seat. It was front-page news. Congressional hearings were convened. Outrage flowed like prune juice at the Biden White House breakfast buffet.
Fast forward to 2025, and no one bats an eye over spending more than that for just a toilet.
In fact, the federal government under the Biden administration set aside a whopping $7.5 billion in cold, hard, debased American currency—and to date, we’ve got a grand total of 384 E.V. chargers to show for it.
And here’s the twist: hardly anyone is shocked.
Iran’s regime preparing for Plan B?
2 replies
After the recent Israeli war against the Iranian regime and the American attack on the Fordo nuclear site, the mullahs in Tehran are feeling the heat. This is the most fragile the regime has been over the past 46 years, and talk of regime change is spreading. For the past year and a half, some in the regime have been preparing for a plan B, in case they need to flee urgently. While that does not mean that the regime is about to fall, it is still a valid indicator of the nervousness of the leadership.
After Hamas, one of Iran’s proxies, attacked Israel by surprise on October 7, 2023,
The Senate has confirmed President Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Emil Bove to a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge for the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals.
The 50-49 Senate vote was largely along party lines with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voting against Bove’s confirmation to the federal bench. Bove’s nomination was strongly contested by Democrats who brought forth three Justice Department whistleblowers who alleged that he recommended that the Trump administration ignore court order attempting to disrupt the president’s immigration agenda.
Mamdani’s cop-hating agenda speaks louder

than his hollow words after horrific NYC shooting 6 replies
Sensible New Yorkers didn’t need yet another reason to vote against Zohran Mamdani for mayor, but Monday’s horrific Midtown slaughter provided a clear illustration of why the radical Democrat must not win the keys to City Hall.
Mamdani is in Uganda celebrating his wedding, but his initial statement on X about the bloodbath on Park Avenue rings hollow given his past smears of the NYPD and repeated calls to “defund the police.”
“I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts,” Mamdani posted on X late Monday.
Voter fraud is suspected in the recent NYC primary, after it was discovered that dead people allegedly cast ballots.
It was reported last week that two dead voters had somehow cast absentee ballots submitted under their names in June's still-contested Republican primary between two South Brooklyn City Council candidates, according to The New York Post.The New York City Council District 47 race between Brooklyn Republican Chairman Richie Barsamian and George Sarantopoulos is extremely close, with Sarantopoulos leading by 16 votes as of July 28.
Both campaigns have called for investigations amid reports of ballot irregularities.
When it comes to their views and policies concerning so-called climate change, President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama stand far apart.Trump is a climate realist who understands that conventional power sources like coal and natural gas are pivotal to America’s grid stability and will play a big role in the forthcoming AI arms race.
Obama, on the other hand, is a staunch climate alarmist who derides conventional power sources and favors “green” energy.
During his two terms, Obama enacted several policies that subsidized uncompetitive, unneeded, and unwanted green energy while placing onerous regulations on fossil fuels.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced Tuesday that the EPA would propose rescinding the 2009 so-called "Endangerment" finding by the Obama administration. This finding underpins every "climate change" and most automobile regulations issued since 2009 and, if successful, would effectively eradicate "climate change" regulation as a federal policy consideration. Using a visit to a truck dealership in Indianapolis with Governor Mike Braun as a backdrop, EPA Administrator Zeldin announced EPA's anticipated attempt to unravel the fragile underpinning for such things as EPA's electric vehicle mandate and the war on efficient air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, and small gasoline tools like lawnmowers and leaf blowers.

The Donald Trump-Russia collusion scandal that first broke in December 2016 and roared on until April 2019 has no parallel in our history — it’s not even close.
As president-elect and later as sitting president, Trump was accused by the country’s intelligence and law-enforcement apparatus of conspiring with a hostile power to subvert the 2016 election and sneak a crooked path to the White House.
Along the way, a damning Intelligence Community Assessment was issued, a major FBI investigation, code-named Crossfire Hurricane, targeted the president, and a special counsel, Robert Mueller, was granted a team of prosecutors and a budget of millions to bring the guilty to justice.

UN has tons of food in Gaza that it won’t distribute 17 replies
Israel is blaming the UN for the lack of vital food deliveries to Gaza — as harrowing video captured hundreds of desperate Palestinians swarming aid trucks over the weekend.
Israel officials are hitting back at claims that they have delayed aid from coming into Gaza — sharing images of tons of aid piled up inside the Gaza Strip, which they said is just waiting to be delivered to hungry Palestinians.
Col. Abdullah Halabi, from the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), told reporters last week that around 1,000 truckloads of aid remain undelivered “due to a lack of cooperation from the international community and international organizations.”

While most of the country has erupted in outrage after an angry mob savagely assaulted two white people in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, one prominent local politician has the exact opposite reaction to the story.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a group of black individuals smacked around a bald white guy at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street in downtown Cincy and beat him so bad that he could not get up.
Then, a white woman got slugged by one of the cowards. Her head slammed down onto the concrete, and she lost consciousness. Blood was seen coming out of her mouth.
The scandal-scarred independents running for New York City mayor stand little chance against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — even if the rivals team up against the socialist candidate, a shocking new poll found.
Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and Democratic nominee, is projected to handily win the November general election with 50% of likely voters in the latest survey, released Tuesday by Zenith Research/Public Progress Solutions.
Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has decided to continue his comeback tour after his embarrassing June primary loss to 33-year-old Mamdani, came in a distant second at 22%, while the GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa pulled 13%.
The runner-up in the 2024 U.S. presidential election won’t be running for California‘s top job next year, but Kamala Harris isn’t ruling out a 2028 White House bid yet. After months of speculation and impressive polling, the former Vice President has made it official: She’s not going to be on the ballot to lead the Golden State. “After deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,” Harris said Wednesday. Earlier this year, around the time of the Oscars, Harris told friends and deep-pocketed donors that she would make a final decision on running for
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR) have dropped a political nuke on Washington: Smoking-gun thumb drives containing unreviewed evidence in the Hillary Clinton email scandal have been sitting in an FBI office collecting dust for over SIX YEARS. The letter, addressed directly to FBI Director Kash Patel, demands that the unevaluated materials — which include sensitive intelligence, foreign communications, and damning evidence related to the Clinton Foundation and Barack Obama — be immediately reviewed and exposed to the American people.
A Virginia councilman was set on fire in an apparent personal attack on Wednesday, authorities said.
The suspect, Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, allegedly confronted Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler, 38, at his office, at Showcase Magazine, and covered him with a flammable liquid, the Danville Police Department said. Both went outside where Hayes allegedly set Vogler on fire, police said. Vogler has been taken to a hospital in unknown condition, police said. Showcase Magazine said he sustained “serious burn injuries.”
A WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries was interrupted on Tuesday night after a bizarre object was thrown on to the floor late in the fourth quarter.
The Valkyries had rebounded a miss with about one minute left in the game when the object flew from the stands and down onto the court. The object bounced a few times away from the ballhandler and then toward the near sideline. The object appeared to be a lime green sex toy. The broadcast showed the object on the floor for a brief moment before everyone realized what it was.

You might think that the first six months of President Donald Trump’s second term in office has been especially rough on the media. But if you do, you’re very wrong. In fact, though still not in positive territory, trust in the media has jumped sharply over the same half-year period a year earlier, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
In I&I/TIPP’s online national poll of 1,421 adults, taken from June 25 to June 27, we asked (as we do each month) the following question:
Generally speaking, how much trust do you have in the traditional or established news media (Example: Washington Post, New York Times,

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested an illegal immigrant working as a police officer in Maine after he allegedly tried to unlawfully purchase a firearm, officials announced on Monday.
Officers arrested Jamaican alien Jon Luke Evans with the assistance of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) after his firearm purchase attempt in Biddeford on July 25 “raised concerns tied to his immigration status,” according to an agency press release.
Evans was employed as a reserve police officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department at the time of his arrest, according to the agency. [Tweet]

On Wednesday, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll ordered West Point to terminate the employment of President Biden’s recently hired censorship czar.
The revelation came following a now unavailable Tuesday announcement from the academy that Jen Easterly, the former director of the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), would be serving as the new Robert F. McDermott Distinguished Chair within the school’s Department of Social Sciences. Easterly graduated from West Point in 1990.Easterly led CISA from July 2021 to January 2025, a time period during which she oversaw the agency’s efforts to censor Americans.
FBI Director Kash Patel found thousands of Russia collusion hoax documents in “burn bags” in a secret room at the FBI, Fox News reported. One of the documents in the burn bags included the classified annex to the John Durham report that includes the underlying intelligence he investigated. CIA Director John Ratcliffe is expected to declassify the annex to Durham’s final report and send it to Senator Grassley, who will release it to the public. Fox News also reported that Kash Patel and his team of investigators discovered a “previously undisclosed” SCIF at the FBI headquarters.
On Tuesday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart News economics editor John Carney talked about pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Carney said, “I’d say pharmaceuticals [are] the weakest spot so far. We’re entirely reliant on the rest of the world for pharmaceuticals, from everything from like over-the-counter things that…should be really easy to make…to more high-tech drugs, we’re severely dependent on foreign imports.”
He added that while people say we can import from the E.U., “What happens if the E.U. doesn’t like our Israel, for instance, and they say, okay, we’re not going to sell you your statins, right?” And India could do likewise over tariff policy or South Korea policy.
