President Donald Trump called the indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro a “very big moment” for Cuban Americans, who he believes “appreciate” the indictment. Trump spoke to reporters on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews shortly after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the indictment. I think the Cuban population of Miami, and certainly beyond Miami, people that came there that were decimated, whose families were ruined, appreciate what the Attorney General just did today,” Trump said.

President Donald Trump called the indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro a “very big moment” for Cuban Americans, who he believes “appreciate” the indictment. Trump spoke to reporters on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews shortly after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the indictment.
I think the Cuban population of Miami, and certainly beyond Miami, people that came there that were decimated, whose families were ruined, appreciate what the Attorney General just did today,” Trump said.
The United States' aircraft carrier Nimitz and its strike group arrived in the Caribbean this week as tensions with Cuba continue amid negotiations and the wake of the U.S.'s indictment of Raul Castro.
The arrival comes even as President Donald Trump downplayed the threat of an escalation in negotiations with Cuba on Wednesday. Trump has previously hinted at what he called a "friendly takeover" of Cuba as the island's government faces an economic and energy crisis and mounting domestic opposition. The United States Southern Command said the aircraft carrier was accompanied by Carrier Air Wing 17, USS Gridley and USNS Patuxent, which it claimed "are the epitome of readiness and presence,
The Senate RINO’s are threatening to obstruct President Trump’s midterm agenda. GOP Strategist Caroline Wren set the record state on Bannon’s War Room.
Caroline Wren: Over the last 72 hours, like these, the only people that were lobbying for a Cornyn endorsement were other GOP senators. And in the last 72 hours, the GOP senators had come out against President Trump on several things.
They told him:
** We’re not passing the Save America Act
** We’re not going to nuke the filibuster
** We’re not going to fund (security) for your ballroom
** The weaponization fund’s a bad idea
** W’re not going to fire the parliamentarian.
(The Center Square) - Vice President JD Vance defended a nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer fund through the U.S. Department of Justice aimed at supporting victims of "lawfare and weaponization."
The $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" would support individuals who have been targeted by "lawfare and weaponization," according to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The fund came out of the settlement of a $10 billion lawsuit between President Donald Trump and the IRS over the leaking of his tax returns.
Vance said Republicans and Democrats could receive some of the funds while the DOJ vets applications for assistance.
Fidel Castro's younger yet equally communist brother may well find himself in hot water with the American federal justice system. Late on Tuesday, reports surfaced that the Trump administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking an indictment of Raúl Castro. The specifics aren't yet known, but any charges are expected to arise from the 1996 shooting down of two aircraft belonging to the Miami-based Cuban exile group, Brothers to the Rescue. Raúl Castro was Cuba's Minister of Defense at that time.
HUD proposal to end women's shelter admission
based on gender identity sparks male violence debate 5 replies
based on gender identity sparks male violence debate 5 replies
Do men who identify as women really threaten women fleeing male violence?
That's the raging debate in a regulatory proceeding on "equal access to housing," prompted by President Trump's Day One executive order against "gender ideology extremism," which has quietly amassed over 600 public comments in its first three weeks without any apparent input as of Tuesday from large national groups.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed removing references to "gender" and "gender identity" throughout its regulations, and possibly replacing them with "sex," to ensure HUD-funded housing programs and emergency shelters treat individuals by their "immutable biological classification as either male or female."
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) strange comment last week that he has a secret “break-the-glass” contingency plan to ensure Democrats are not locked out of the top-two spots in the state’s upcoming gubernatorial primary has sparked Republican angst and anxiety.
Speaking at a budget press conference on Thursday, Newsom stated that while he does not see a Democrat lockout happening, behind-the-scenes efforts are underway to prevent the two Republicans from advancing together to the general election.
“He’s literally declaring war on the voters,” an outraged Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) fumed Monday, referring to Democrat scheme as “an insurrection.”
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) sarcastically quipped, “‘No Kings,’ right Gavin?”
Every few years, we in the United States endure something like the sweats of malaria while certain people, devoted to “democracy,” call to abolish the Electoral College, now merely a counting system whereby each state is assigned an electoral weight based on its representation in Congress—the sum of its senators and representatives. There are two main lines of the argument. The first is that because of the College, a president can be elected without a majority or a plurality of the vote. In elections involving two main candidates, this has happened three times: 1888 (Harrison over Cleveland), 2000 (Bush over Gore), and 2016 (Trump over Clinton).
In a stunning announcement, President Donald Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the state’s upcoming Senate GOP primary against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn on Tuesday.
“WE HAVE ALREADY MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, BUT NOW, WE WANT TO MAKE OUR NATION BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE. Therefore, Ken Paxton has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next United States Senator from the Great State of Texas — KEN PAXTON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
Georgia endured a chaotic primary day, as a court intervened to resolve a dispute over which election officials would have access to the state’s election reporting center, which some call the “bunker.”
Three Georgia candidates asked a state court for an emergency motion requiring Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to allow State Election Board members to be present to observe statewide election night results aggregation. This occurs at an emergency operations center, where the totals are uploaded to Georgia’s election reporting system. Actual ballots are not counted at the center.
US government agrees to drop tax claims

The U.S. government will permanently drop tax claims against President Donald Trump, according to a settlement document made public Tuesday, in an extraordinary use of executive power that could effectively help shield the president from further examination of his finances and legal conduct.
As part of the settlement deal meant to resolve Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns, the U.S. is “forever barred and precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons and the Trump organization’s current tax examinations, according to a one-page document posted to the Justice Department’s website.
The San Diego mosque shooters were “radicalized online,” cops say — as it’s revealed they wore Nazi symbols and etched racist statements on their gear as they opened fire outside an Islamic Center, killing three people in the process.
The two teens “did not discriminate on who they hated,” law enforcement officials said in a press conference Tuesday, adding they had recovered over 30 guns and a crossbow in connection to the suspects.
A livestream video of the horrific attack, currently being probed by the FBI, shows Cain Clark with a Black Sun symbol, which is associated with Nazi Germany, square on his chest.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) was among the four Republican Senators who voted in favor of moving forward with a resolution that would direct President Donald Trump to pull the U.S. military out of the conflict with Iran.
Cassidy’s vote in favor of moving forward with the Iran War Powers Resolution comes days after he lost his reelection bid to Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA), and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming.
The Senate voted 50-47 to move the War Powers Resolution out from the Senate’s Foreign Relation Committee, with Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Cassidy voting with the Democrats, CBS News reported.
Why I'm Never Rubio

The Atlantic magazine recently announced the People’s Choice for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. “Trump Voters Like Marco Rubio More and More (And J.D. Vance Less and Less)” the headline proclaimed, a ruling that deserves respect considering that this is the magazine that has spent the past decade ferociously denouncing Trump as a “racist,” “fascist kleptocrat,” “warped,” “corrupted,” an “authoritarian,” a “demagogue,” a “xenophobe” and a “liar.”
President Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded that Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough be fired, arguing that over the years, her rulings have been “brutal” to Republicans.
The parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader, who can instruct the Senate Secretary to dismiss the official at any time.
Trump expressed frustration in a post on Truth Social that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has refused to take this step, raging that the “Dumocrats cheat, lie, and steal, especially when it comes to Votes in Elections, but stick together, whereas the Republicans allow the Elizabeth MacDonoughs of the World to stay in power, and brutalize us.”
A Shameful NAACP Boycott
21 replies
I am willing to assume that there was a time when the NAACP did some good. (I do not make the same assumption about the SPLC.) But that time is long, long gone. For many years, the NAACP has been a force for ill, not for good. An excellent example is its just-launched boycott campaign:
The NAACP is calling on Black athletes and fans to boycott the athletic programs of public universities in states that are taking steps that the nation’s oldest civil rights group says are restricting Black voting rights.
There is no conceivable theory on which anyone is restricting black voting rights.

Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson admitted she was wrong to slam Starbucks and push for a boycott of the mega-coffee chain birthed in the Pacific City.
Wilson, 43, issued a terse mea culpa to the New York Times this week as questions swirl about whether the liberal Northwest city can attract and retain businesses, including Starbucks, which recently chose to expand its footprint in Tennessee.
The democratic socialist made waves last fall when she joined a barista union rally as mayor-elect and expressed her disgust with one of Seattle’s most recognizable businesses.
Three beachgoers were stabbed while hundreds of teens took over packed New England beaches in separate incidents on Tuesday, sparking fights and forcing evacuations of the summer hotspot.
The suspected stabbing broke out just after 3 p.m. Tuesday at Narragansett Town Beach, a popular summer vacation retreat in southern Rhode Island, as temperatures reached into the 90s.
Responding officers located three victims suffering from minor stab wounds, Narragansett Police Chief Kyle Rekas said in a statement posted to Facebook.

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner (D.) suggested that legendary "American Sniper" Chris Kyle shot innocent civilians in Iraq in order to inflate his kill numbers. Platner also bristled at the idea of the former Navy SEAL and his platoon being dubbed "heroes."
Platner, running for Senate against Sen. Susan Collins (R.), lashed out at Kyle and members of the SEAL's "Task Unit Bruiser" in a May 2024 podcast interview on Green Beret Chronicle Show in which Platner, a former Marine, discussed his deployment in 2006 to Ramadi, a hotbed of insurgent activity during the Iraq war. In the interview, Platner—who did not belong to an elite Special Forces unit like

Former 16-term Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank died of congestive heart failure Tuesday at the age of 86.
First elected to the House in 1980, Frank is known for being the co-author of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) as well as being the first member of Congress to voluntarily come out as gay. Just over two weeks before his passing, he appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash” while receiving hospice care at his Maine home — where he warned that his lifelong party was lurching too far leftward.
Ask anyone in the South, and they can confirm to you that college football is more or less a religion there.
In particular, the Southeastern Conference — better known by its acronym of SEC — has become one of the crowning jewels for Southern football fans.
The conference is known for producing swathes of NFL-caliber players, dynasties like Alabama, and consistent top-tier programs like Georgia. While the proliferation of college athletic money has somewhat closed the gap between the SEC and its fellow power conferences, the conference is still viewed as the gold standard of college football (though some fans are quick to call the conference overrated,
Under the U.S. Constitution, anyone who is not a "natural-born citizen" is barred from becoming president or vice president. Now, a House Republican wants to expand that requirement to much of the federal government.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., plans to introduce a joint resolution Wednesday proposing a constitutional amendment requiring members of Congress, federal judges and other Senate-confirmed appointees to be natural-born citizens.
The proposal would affect more than a dozen naturalized citizens currently serving in Congress, including several Republicans. Mace, who is running to be South Carolina’s next governor, suggested that the country’s nearly 25 million naturalized citizens, who made the deliberate choice to become Americans, may have divided loyalties.
Hakeem Jeffries Will “Break” Trump Voters
15 replies
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries showed up at the crazy Center for American Progress to impart his questionable wisdom. He said we have to “break” MAGA extremists, MAGA extremists meaning conservatives. He calls everyone who wants to make America great again an extremist. Hakeem wants to stack the Court, so Democrats win every case in perpetuity. That’s not extreme? He also plans to seize control of the courts, and corrupt the vote with the John Lewis Voting Act. Recently, he aligned himself with the SPLC. Just last month, he traveled to Denmark to trash the president and the country. Now, Hakeem knows extremism since he is extreme, as is his
