“Russia’s brutality needs to stop – this new initiative will help deliver just and lasting peace.”
– Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General
“My directive is clear — to ensure that the Ukrainians receive everything they need to defend themselves. Obviously, this includes offensive weapons as well, so many more steps will be taken. We will act as quickly as possible.”
– U.S. European Command and NATO Allied Forces Commander in Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich
“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule it.”
– H.L. Mencken
One Big, Beautiful Bill: I received a lot of questions about the policy successes included in this bill. The Democrats (all of whom voted against it) continue to try and spin some kind of dystopian scenario that doesn’t exist in reality.
The bill:
– Prevented the largest tax hike in American history.
– Secured our borders.
– Made generational investments in America’s national security.
– Lowered gas prices and energy costs for all Americans.
– Ended the waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers’ dollars.
– Strengthened, secured, and sustained Medicaid.
AND almost as importantly, the Executive Actions President Trump signed codified into Law by the One Big Beautiful Bill:
Securing our Borders
Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the United States
Protecting the American People Against Invasion
Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders
Restricting the Entry of Foreign Nationals to Protect the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats
Implementing the President’s “DOGE” Cost Efficiency Initiative
Protecting America’s Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy
Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos
Iron Dome for America
Unleashing American Drone Dominance
Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance
Unleashing American Energy
Reinvigorating America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry
Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential
Declaring a National Energy Emergency
Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production
Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production
Clarifying the Military’s Role in Protecting the Territorial Integrity of the United States
Keeping Americans Safe in Aviation
Improving Education Outcomes by Empowering Parents, States, and Communities
Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education
Establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission
Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China as Applied to Low-Value Imports
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Tax Deal (Global Tax Deal)
Enforcing the Hyde Amendment
Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday – Garden of Heroes
Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful
This was a huge victory for conservatives and our country. As the American taxpayer feels the success on multiple fronts, the progressive left continues to try and spin negative untruths.
Elections have consequences.
Ukraine Deserves Our Support: First, Putin’s Soviet style aggression and disregard for civilian life should not be allowed to stand. Second, we signed the Budapest Memorandum to force Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for the U.S., Russia, and others guaranteeing their sovereignty and borders. Third, and most horrifically, the fact that Christian organizations have documented 19,546 Ukrainian children that have been abducted by the Russians out of Ukraine. Older children are sent to military camps to be brainwashed to fight for Russia. Younger children who have been rescued show signs of sexual abuse.
Russia is abducting Ukrainian children. Russian authorities say that 730,000 Ukrainian children are currently in Russia. Putin needs Ukrainian children to build Russia’s population and provide new soldiers for the Russian army.
Every parent and grandparent should be outraged. Not only has Putin’s Russia attacked a neighbor, but it has also kidnapped thousands of innocent children. We, the United States, should live up to our agreements and defend freedom & liberty in Europe and against any aggressor.
We signed a deal to pay for our support. Ukraine does NOT need boots on the ground. They are not asking for our direct involvement. They want to purchase our weapons (support American jobs & the economy) and fight their fight for independence and their children and grandchildren.

This Week: GOP fundraising excels in battleground states, Mamdani doesn’t need to work, and Democrats are underwater in new polls!
Thank You President Trump!
President Trump bent over backwards to give Putin every chance possible to have peace. But it is clear Putin does NOT want peace because of his own failures on the domestic front would doom his presidency.
Putin lied to Trump. Putin tried to play Trump. Putin took advantage of Trump’s willingness to push for peace. Putin thought he could fool Trump once again.
Putin’s most horrific act has been his willingness to kidnap Ukrainian children. The fact is that Christian organizations have documented 19,546 Ukrainian children that have been abducted by the Russians out of Ukraine. Older children are sent to military camps to be brainwashed to fight for Russia. Younger children who have been rescued show signs of sexual abuse.
Russia is abducting Ukrainian children. Russian authorities say that 730,000 Ukrainian children are currently in Russia. Putin needs Ukrainian children to build Russia’s population and provide new soldiers for the Russian army.
Enough is enough. President Trump and NATO have given Putin more time and options than this war criminal deserves.
Join us in thanking President Trump for standing strong and ultimately implementing Peace Through Strength!
Here’s the money people in each state could pocket under Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ savings
State-by-state breakdown reveals families could see thousands in additional take-home pay from Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’
The White House rolled out an interactive map of the U.S. showing the savings Americans can expect from initiatives under President Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill Act on a state-by-state basis, Fox News Digital learned Tuesday.
Trump signed the massive piece of legislation into law on the Fourth of July, touting that its tax cuts will make the U.S. economy similar to a “rocket ship” as Americans begin feeling its effects.
On Tuesday, the White House published an interactive map of the 50 states that provides breakdowns of how much Americans can expect to save and see in their pocketbooks compared to if the bill had not been passed and signed into law.
The interactive map focused on data such as: real wage increases, which are understood as the increase to a worker’s income after accounting for inflation; a family’s expected real take-home pay increase; how many seniors benefit from the no tax on Social Security; the percentage of a state’s labor force who are expected to benefit from not paying taxes on tips; the number of jobs protected in a state, and other data.
Free-market economist praises Big Beautiful Bill for its ‘hidden gems’
When President Donald Trump signed the “one big beautiful bill” into law this month, he delivered one of the biggest wins for conservatives in the past 30 years, according to a free-market economist.
Former Trump economic advisor Stephen Moore praised the president for signing the measure that made many provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 permanent, while also delivering what he sees as underappreciated wins for the conservative movement.
“I’ve been in Washington since the early 1980s, so that’s a long period of time,” Moore said at an American Legislative Exchange Council conference on Thursday in Indianapolis. “Forty years I’ve been in the swamp. And I would have to say this is one of the greatest conservative triumphs in at least three decades in Washington. This is a very, very good bill.”
During his speech, Moore highlighted what he called some of the “hidden gems” of the bill.
One is the first-ever federally funded private school choice program; it lets taxpayers donate up to $1,700 annually to scholarship-granting organizations and receive a 100% federal income tax credit for their contribution.
The Hidden War Over Ukraine’s Lost Children
Vladimir Putin could not make out the names of the missing children that appeared on the screen in front of him. They were printed in tiny letters, 339 in all, each representing a child abducted from the war zone in Ukraine and, according to authorities in Kyiv, forcibly taken to Russia. Putin had never been confronted with the list in public, and he showed no particular interest in reading it.
It was June 4, a warm day in Moscow, exactly three years, three months, and 11 days since Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine. In keeping with the habit of reclusiveness that he has cultivated during the war, the Russian President convened a meeting of his aides and ministers that day via video call. Their somber faces appeared in little boxes on his screen, while Putin sat at his desk alone.
They had a lot on their agenda. Three days earlier, the war had spilled across the breadth of Russia as the Ukrainians smuggled a fleet of cheap drones across the border and used them to attack several military airfields, damaging or destroying Russian warplanes worth billions of dollars. The next day, Ukraine and Russia held another round of peace talks in Istanbul. Putin now wanted to know how they had gone, and he called on his lead negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, to give the highlights. About two minutes into his report, Medinsky reached for the list of children he had received from the Ukrainians in Istanbul.
“These so-called kidnapped children,” he said. “They were saved by our soldiers, evacuated under fire.” Leafing through the list of names, he added, “We’ll have to figure out how many of them are here with us.” Putin gave no response, and the meeting moved on to other issues. Outside of Russia, the abduction of these children is widely seen as a war crime. For the Kremlin, it did not seem like an urgent matter.
White House Reveals How Many Illegal Aliens Have Self Deported
Speaking during an interview with Fox News Wednesday night, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller revealed how many illegal aliens living in the United States have self deported since President Donald Trump took office on January 20, 2025.
“If you choose to self-deport, you can go back home, you do have the opportunity to apply for legal entry and you’re going to get a $1,000 check,” Miller said.
Miller also explained the benefits Americans will see as more illegal aliens either self deport or are forcefully removed from the country.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security continues to urge illegal aliens to leave the country voluntarily.
“Any illegal alien who uses the CBP Home App to self-deport will also receive a stipend of $1,000 dollars, paid after their return to their home country has been confirmed through the app,” DHS.gov explains.
President Trump Challenges the Congress to Balance the Budget
Now that the One Big Beautiful Bill has passed, Congress has set its sights on an even more ambitious long-term project. This new project will require five to seven years of creativity, thoughtfulness, and ingenuity: balancing the federal budget and beginning to pay down the national debt.
Achieving a balanced federal budget through economic growth, technological innovation, eliminating waste and inefficiency within the government and its contractors, and developing improved methods for delivering goods and services will lead to a genuine golden age of American prosperity, affordability, and security.
The American people overwhelmingly support balancing the budget. A recent Harvard-Harris Poll found that 80 percent of voters favor a balanced budget amendment. This support includes 83 percent of Republicans, 79 percent of Democrats, and 76 percent of independents.
President Trump understands that balancing the budget is both historically necessary and politically popular. When Republicans last achieved four consecutive balanced budgets–an accomplishment unmatched in a century–it reshaped Washington’s political landscape and sustained a Republican House majority for the first time since 1928.
Democrats hit rock bottom as party plummets to all-time low: poll
Republicans enjoy 77% approval from their base as Trump’s agenda advances despite opposition
Just 19% of voters questioned in a new national poll give Democrats in Congress a thumbs up on how they’re handling their duties, with 72% disapproving.
That’s an all-time low since Quinnipiac University first began asking congressional approval questions in their surveys 16 years ago.
The Democratic Party has been in the political wilderness since November’s elections, when Republicans won back control of the White House and the Senate and defended their fragile House majority. And Republicans made gains among Black, Hispanic and younger voters, all traditional members of the Democratic Party’s base.
Since President Donald Trump’s return to power earlier this year, an increasingly energized base of Democrats is urging party leaders to take a stronger stand in pushing back against the president’s sweeping and controversial second-term agenda. Their anger is directed not only at Republicans, but at Democrats they feel aren’t vocal enough in their opposition to Trump.
And that’s fueled a plunge in the Democratic Party’s favorable ratings, which have hit historic lows in several surveys this year.
Data Analyst: 2028 General Election Not Looking Good for Dems
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten says the 2028 general election isn’t looking good for Democrats, as they are “behind their 2006 and 2018 paces when it comes to the generic congressional ballot.”
“Their lead is less than half, less than half of where it was in either 2017 or 2005 in July both those years — the year before the midterm election,” Enten said Wednesday on CNN.
“Yes, Donald Trump may be unpopular, but Democrats have not come anywhere close to sealing the deal at this particular point.”
It’s not just the generic ballot where Democrats are behind their 2017 and 2005 pace, added Enten.
“It’s actually when it comes seat by seat, you see that at least at this particular point, Republicans have more net pickup opportunities. This doesn’t look anything like those wave elections back in 2006 or 2018,” he said.
Can Anything Save the Democrats?
As 2026 approaches, they’re disliked, divided and devoid of effective leaders.
It’s hard enough being the party out of power in normal times. It’s more difficult when the ruling party dominates the daily narrative by notching big wins at home and abroad. A recent CNN poll put the Democrats’ favorable rating at a record low—29%. They have only themselves to blame.
After all, it was Democratic voters who nominated far-left extremist Zohran Mamdani as their candidate for New York mayor. He’s running on a platform of free everything and won’t disavow the slogan “globalize the intifada.” He has said that “seizing the means of production” is something “we firmly believe in” and that “I don’t think we should have billionaires.” If Mr. Mamdani wins, Republicans will use him to trash all Democrats in the 2026 midterms.
That’s not Democrats’ only problem. Grassroots activists are urging congressional Democrats at town halls to “fight dirtier” and “get in the mud.” Anger isn’t a strategy. It’s a tone that could turn off up-for-grabs voters. Anyone who hates President Trump is already energized. What he says and does will keep those partisans riled up. But others who are open to voting for Democrats in 2026 need much more, including a reasonable agenda that isn’t on the fringe.
Timeline of ‘scam artist’ Adam Schiff’s mortgage fraud allegations stretching back years
President calls out longtime political foe after Fannie Mae investigation finds ‘sustained pattern’ of alleged misrepresentation
Longtime President Donald Trump political foe Democrat California Sen. Adam Schiff was referred to the Department of Justice to face criminal prosecution over alleged mortgage fraud that reportedly stretches back years.
Schiff, who was elected to the Senate in the 2024 election cycle following decades as a House lawmaker, is under scrutiny after the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sent a letter to the Department of Justice in May sounding the alarm that in “multiple instances,” Schiff allegedly “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, impacting payments from 2003-2019 for a Potomac, Maryland-based property.”
FHFA is an independent federal agency that oversees Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank System.
This week, Trump publicly lambasted Schiff over the alleged mortgage fraud, while Fannie Mae’s financial crimes investigations concluded Monday in a letter to the FHFA that Schiff allegedly engaged in “a sustained pattern of possible occupancy misrepresentation” on five Fannie Mae loans, Fox News Digital previously reported this week.
Trump and Wiles are like a new Madden and Summerall
Like President Trump or not, his second term is going much better for him than his first was. This time eight years ago, his presidency was in disarray, reeling from the Russiagate probe and the Senate’s rejection of ObamaCare repeal.
That’s night and day from the current administration’s early victories from the tax-and-spending megabill, immigration and universal injunctions.
Even European leaders and Ivy League universities are now heeding Trump’s demands. The president’s approval ratings are 5 percentage points higher now than at the same time in his first term, according to the RealClearPolitics aggregate poll.
Pundits have credited White House chief of staff Susie Wiles for the new administration’s winning streak. But less has been written on how Wiles, who ran Trump’s successful 2024 election campaign, has prevailed where others have failed in instilling discipline in the notoriously free-wheeling Trump operation.
A clue to understanding why the president and his chief of staff have synched so far comes from an unexpected place — the legendary NFL broadcasting duo of John Madden and Pat Summerall, who is also Wiles’s late father.
Some wild 2028 speculation about Vance and Donald Jr.
Among Republicans, Vice President JD Vance appears to be growing more powerful, popular and presidential. However, the overall RealClear poll average gives Vance just a 41 percent favorable rating, with 47 percent unfavorable.
The high-profile vice president is seen in nearly every Oval Office meeting photo, signaling a close relationship with President Trump. Such proximity is deliberate, since the “showman-in-chief” leverages optics more effectively than anyone as a powerful messaging tool.
Although the 2028 presidential campaign is three years away — centuries in political dog years — the 40-year-old Vance is on a trajectory to win the Republican nomination. In a recent Emerson poll, he garnered 46 percent support among registered Republican primary voters for 2028.
That same poll found Vance’s closest Republican rivals were Secretary of State Marco Rubio, supported by 12 percent, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, at 9 percent. Rubio in 2016 and DeSantis in 2024 both had disastrous presidential runs against Trump and, in the process, alienated the MAGA base. At the time, Rubio and DeSantis were warned by political strategists to wait for more political seasoning in a future presidential cycle. Both paid a price for their unbridled ambition.
Vance knows that his 2028 prospects hinge on Republican success in the 2026 midterms, which will be linked to Trump’s sinking job approval. Therefore, in addition to his demanding day job, the vice president has been in full campaign mode since March, when he was appointed finance chair of the Republican National Committee. That strategically brilliant early move by Team Trump positioned Vance as a presidential heir, facilitating frequent interactions with the party’s most powerful donors and state party leaders.
The World Woke Up
In less than six months, the entire world has been turned upside down. There is no longer such a thing as conventional wisdom or the status quo.
The unthinkable has become the banal.
Take illegal immigration—remember the 10,000 daily illegal entries under Biden?
Recall the only solution was supposedly “comprehensive immigration reform”—a euphemism for mass amnesties.
Now, there is no such thing as daily new illegal immigration.
It simply disappeared with common-sense enforcement of existing immigration laws—and a new president.
A Special Message from Pat Boone
Hello to all my 60 Plus friends.
A few weeks ago, I saw the absolutely shocking new documentary, “A Faith Under Siege,” and I encourage you to experience it as well!
The film details the targeted persecution of the Ukrainian Christian community and the horrifying accounts of the almost 20,000 Ukrainian children from toddlers to teens TAKEN HOSTAGE AND BEING INDOCTRINATED AND FORCED TO TRAIN TO FIGHT FOR RUSSIA AGAINST UKRAINE AND EVEN THEIR OWN FAMILIES!
It’s Orwellian, Sadistic and Demonic. WE, the USA, must act, reveal and rescue those helpless young hostages before they’re hopelessly corrupted. The film includes gripping personal testimonies and actual footage, not hearsay or political propaganda—these wonderful young souls are being savaged perhaps forever! We have to make everyone starkly aware while these kids can be saved.
“A Faith Under Siege” has been broadcast on CBN, Salem, Newsmax and others, but clicking the link below will take you directly to the film where you can watch it now, for free. WATCH: A FAITH UNDER SIEGE You can also access the film through this QR Code:
