1) President Trump, in his Fourth of July ceremonies, gave a rousing speech at Mount Rushmore that denounced communism. Amazing Zohran, are you listening, little spoogie? After a thunderstorm delay, he gave another speech in D.C. celebrating the enduring victory of the American spirit. In 1994, Newt Gingrich nationalized the House races through the Contract with America. Trump is doing the same thing by reframing the 2026 midterms as a vote on patriotism. Some communications specialist should contrast Trump's speeches, filled with words such as "victory," "greatness," "liberty," "growth" and so on to someone like Rutabaga, who promised crackdowns, arrests, hate, and overall dimplespooge. Seth Keshel, who has become one of the best political prognosticators, says the shift to the DemoKKKrat Fascists of America only portends more GOP victories and a consolidation/increase in Hispanic support, the GOP retaking some of the suburbs, further erosion of DemoKKKrat urban strength, and a kind of Overton Window shift to the right for major conservative/MAGA principles. Seth joins many other observers who said the DemoKKKrat establishment has only itself to blame for rigging the elections against Dinobernie and creating the "superdelegate" status that curtails grass-roots participation.
2) Any so-called "wealth tax" will not stop at billionaires. Now Row-Row-Row-Your-Khanna wants it to drop to $50 million. Soon it will be $5 million, then $500,000. Any discrepancies in wealth will eventually be punished, even if at $50,000 because, you see, in the minds of the DemoKKKrat Terror Party, "You didn't build that." "You didn't earn that."
3) After taking one reporting week off to let the NC DemoKKKrats manage to net 300 more voter registrations than Rs, the GOP is back in front with a net of 205 and a total lead of 10,600, with an active voter lead of 117,000. Nevada Ds regained the state lead by 7,000 after the DemoKKKrats had a competitive primary and the GOP did not. Meanwhile, in MI, a far-left candidate and "rising star" dropped out of the Senate primary, which means that an even further left Muslim will win the DemoKKKrat primary there.
4) This analysis correctly argues that the DemoKKKrats bet on the wrong horse with Zero over Cankles in 2008 and that they have never really recovered. Former DemoKKKat senator Joe Manchi-on-a-Hill said DemoKKKrats are reaping what they sewed. Yea, but you, ya slimy toejam sandwich, were too cowardly to leave the DemoKKKrats when you were in office.
5) President Trump pardoned the diesel mechanics that Rutababa's EPA went after.
6) Last week while MAGA correctly raged against the Birthright Citizenship case, the Supes quietly overturned the "Humphrey's Executor" rule in the Slaughter case, allowing President Trump to expand the number of federal employees eligible for being fired. Not a big deal, the Hoax News told us. Just a few people in a few agencies. Today? "Trump signs order moving thousands of federal employees into Schedule F" meaning outside Civil Service protections.
7) Wonderful news, as acting DNI head Bill Pulte fired dozens of Deep State operatives. Personally, I'm good with firing them all and starting from scratch. No specific reasons were given but the New York Slimes said it was because the administration thought these fungalrockets were slow-walking evidence on the Russia Hoax. No sooner did the New York Slimes assure us the brave and patriotic intel agencies would never do that (Mr. Kennedy? Ah, Mr. Kennedy? Sorry. he's unavailable for comment), Cankles said the intel agencies should slow walk evidence on Russia.. Can't make this up.
8) DemoKKKrats struggle to contain the Amazing Moron Zohran's communism within their party. Why? I thought commie-ism was just fantastic. Meanwhile both he and his wife continue to step on a rake, as she abandoned the America 250th celebration for some Muslim retreat. This guy will be poison to ordinary Americans.
IN AI NEWS
9) OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wants to give the U.S. government a 5% stake in his company . . . but only if competitors do the same.
10) Major companies are starting to limit AI access as costs escalate.
11) Samsung prepares for a 20% memory chip hike.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
12) President Trump has reduced the number of refugees to a record low, just a cap of 7,500 permitted compared to Rutabaga's 125,000.
13) The Rutabaga sponsored illegal criminal invasion was almost entirely responsible for rising home prices and higher rents says a new Federal Reserve paper.
14) Another Amish migrant truck driver, looking at his phone, ran down one person then sped off.
15) Wait, I thought after Greg Bovino left ICE stood down? Looks like ICE arrested 100,000 nationwide in just 5 days. Goooooood.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
16) Here are 10 amazing interactive charts showing how America has changed over the past 250 years.
17) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were finally married. Good. Now we can get on with the divorce.
18) Trump voters have more kids.
19) Nearly 10% of all college students can only do math at a 4th grade level. Actually, I'm surprised it's that high.
20) Americans of all ages are spending less time socializing. Like Sen. John Kennedy says, "I get up with love in my heart for all men and by 11:00 I want to kill 'em all."
22) An appeals court cleared the way for the administration to begin revising the woke info panels about slavery at the President's House in Philadelphia.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
23) The car brands with the best maintenance records are Buick (!), Hyunda, Lincoln, and Toyota, Cadillac is toward the bottom. Here is my Cadillac story: a few years after my wife and I were married, my mother had to go into assisted living & could no longer drive so she gave us her big boat Cadillac. Not my kind of vehicle, but it was free---so I thought. First, we flew my brother in law to AZ to pick it up and drive it to OH (he had time & loved to drive). He literally got out of the assisted living lot and was hit. A month later, we flew him out again. This time, the repaired Caddy got home, but it was one problem after another. Once my computer broke, and when I got it to the shop, the guys said, "Hey, your car's on fire." And so it went. Most expensive "free" car I ever had.
24) Cue Roy Orbison singing "It's over." Trump just ended 35 years of wind and solar subsidies.

It looks like ICE has changed tactics.
I think there is a misplaced decimal point-I believe the actual ICE deportations were 10,000 in the last five days, not 100,000.
A lot of the MSM sites are reporting 10,000, which is a better fit-though I certainly would pop champagne if it were 100,00!
He, I can’t even get the the decimal point placement right in the statement of what I would like to see!
You’re probably correct. I’ll find the DHS on X and see what they say.
I did a quick look, and they are more in line with 10K.
I just pinged LS on that-it is a nice looking website...heading back over to take a closer look!
I love a clean, well-designed website, and at my first glance, it looks good!
Yes, 10,000. Which is still very fine!
I remembered hearing at one time they were aiming for 1,000 deportations a day, and then I heard they were starting to improve on their daily goal, so that would fit.
When I first heard (I think from Elon Musk via Bill Whittle) that there were discussions within the conservative sphere about paying straight up cash to entice illegals to leave, my first impression was absolutely predictable, and Bill Whittle cut it off in the next breath. He said that when he first heard this concept, he was originally outraged.
And I sure was. I was in the shower listening to his podcast, and nearly began to sputter when I heard it!
But he said, once he calmed down and had time to think about it, in the same way Musk apparently had, in the end, it made sense. By paying up-front money to them to get them to voluntarily leave, we would save on the ICE operations to run them down and drag them out. There would be fewer protests, upheavals, and social unrest. We would see savings in hospital services to illegals. Savings in entitlement programs like SNAP and other forms of welfare. Crime would go down. Legal system backlogs would decrease. Fraud would decrease. Unemployment would decrease. Rents would go down. Wages would go up.
The more I thought about it, the more sense it made. I reached a point where I wondered if perhaps we should be offering more for voluntary self-deportation. (Last I heard, it was $2,000 and a plane ticket.
Of course, all this was contingent on sealing the borders so they couldn’t just turn around and come back in, and they have done that too.
I would like to see more deportations faster, but the Trump Administration is at least getting SOMETHING done in this area, which no other President in history (except maybe Eisenhower, and I would have to research that) and I fully appreciate that. I wish more people did.
I don’t blame people for wanting more, but we should give credit where credit is due. Thank you, Mr. President (Trump) for providing the leadership to make that happen.
Check FReepmail.
“Thank you, Mr. President (Trump) for providing the leadership to make that happen.”
Amen.
I saw this article a few days ago, I subscribe to John Solomon’s “Just the News” (and about 6 other news sites). And if the sumbitch rogue judges were removed or ignored, deportations would happen even faster.
Homan touts ‘historic year’ for deportations, but hints at escalation
“We had a record, historic year with deportations. But now we’ve got 10,000 more agents on board. Wait until next year,” he said Friday.
Border Czar Tom Homan on Friday announced that immigration enforcement had broken a one-year record for deportations, but insisted that the expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel would lead to even higher numbers in the future.
“We had a record, historic year with deportations. But now we’ve got 10,000 more agents on board. Wait until next year,” he said Friday.
A DHS spokesperson told Just the News on Thursday that, “[i]n President Trump’s first year back in office, more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations. As of June 24, we have now deported over 948,000 illegal aliens and arrested over 981,000 illegal aliens.”
President Donald Trump has set a goal of deporting as many as 22 million illegal aliens from the country. The comments from Homan come in the wake of favorable Supreme Court rulings on asylum and temporary protected status (TPS) that will help the administration move forward in its efforts.
