Iran-Linked Media Outlet Publishes Threat Video Targeting Melania, Barron
An Iran-linked media outlet has published an AI-generated video that appears to threaten first lady Melania Trump and her son, Barron Trump, by outlining possible ways they could be targeted. The Daily Mail reported that the video was published Monday by the Tasnim News Agency, which has ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The video highlights locations in New York City where Melania Trump has been reported to shop and describes potential ways attackers could gather information about her movements. "Melania's obsession with fashion has become her biggest weakness," a narrator says in the video, according to closed captions reviewed by the Daily Mail. It specifically mentions luxury department stores Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue, claiming they are locations the first lady visits. "These places could be suitable for operations by global freedom fighters," the narrator says, according to the report. The video also describes alleged warning signs that could indicate a planned visit, including changes to street conditions and security preparations. It further outlines possible attack scenarios, including attempts to gather information through people connected to the first lady's staff and local facilities. The Daily Mail reported that the video references Melania Trump's Secret Service protection and claims the agency coordinates with hospitals near locations she visits. The video also mentions the Secret Service codename used for the first lady and lists several luxury retailers in Manhattan, including Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, and Michael Kors. The report said the video names members of Melania Trump's styling team and claims individuals could be targeted for information about her schedule. The footage ends with a direct threat aimed at Barron Trump, stating: "This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us," according to the Daily Mail's translation of the video. The White House and the first lady's office were contacted for comment. The publication of the video comes as Iranian threats against members of the Trump family have increased during a period of heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. The newspaper reported that posters and billboards in Tehran have recently featured images of members of the Trump family with threatening messages. U.S. officials have previously said Iran has been involved in plots targeting President Donald Trump. The Justice Department in 2024 charged an alleged Iranian-linked individual accused of participating in a murder-for-hire plot targeting Trump and other U.S. officials. Trump has said Iranian leaders have sought his death and has warned that the United States would respond forcefully if Iran attempted to harm him or members of his family. © 2026 Newsmax.

In Los Angeles and Portland, Anti-ICE Agitators Are Currently in the 'Find Out' Stage
 |
In June of 2025, RedState reported on anti-ICE rioters who were targeting, interfering, and obstructing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Los Angeles. As our Managing Editor, Jen Van Laar, documented.
Because of the inaction by L.A. Mayor Karen Bass (D) and California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D),
President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard, but not before one brain trust decided to ride his motorcycle into a skirmish line of LAPD officers. Randy Paul Ruiz was arrested and indicted by L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman on two felony counts of assault upon a peace officer.
A year later, Ruiz pleaded guilty to charges of obstructing, impeding, or interfering with law enforcement operations during civil disorder. Ruiz is now in the "find out" stage. First Assistant District Attorney Bill Essayli posted on X about this conviction. New: Violent Rioters in Paramount, CA Create Havoc, Pelt Fed. Law Enforcement Vehicles With Rocks
Justice has finally come back to Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon is not far behind. U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford for the District of Oregon announced the plea of an anti-ICE agitator who assaulted a federal officer.
Brumbelow is also in the "find out" stage. His sentencing is scheduled for October 19, where he "faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release." Also as part of his plea agreement, Brumbelow will pay full restitution to the federal officer he admitted he assaulted.
While some of the big fish Americans want to see on the hook have yet to be caught, these smaller, and extremely violent fish still matter. Americans are weary of symbolic arrests, hearings, and claims of justice being served without any real consequences being meted out. Ruiz and Brumbelow were once exceptions, but now are becoming the poster children for the rule of law being executed. Let us hope this continues. Editor’s Note: ICE and CBP continue to put themselves in harm's way in order to protect America’s sovereignty and to keep our streets safe. |
US Ambassador Storms Out of UN Meeting After France Says Unthinkable About Trump Administration
 |
The French have done it again. The nation that gave the world the baguette, camembert cheese, and snooty accents crossed a big red line on social media after a U.N. Security Council meeting on Friday. The U.S. envoy, Dan Negrea, a senior delegation official and alternate representative at the General Assembly, slammed France’s “disingenuous grandstanding” and walked out during a Monday meeting What drew the ire of the seasoned diplomat? France compared the United States to… North Korea. No, seriously.
Negrea took the French to task over their dishonest smear of the United States.
"There is a member of this council that will feign moral outrage and pretend to lecture the rest of us about every topic, whether it's about the very conflict we're discussing yet again today, or even those unrelated to international peace and security, like human rights," Negrea said. "That is why we walked out during France's intervention" at the meeting, he added. READ MORE: Pregnant Woman Among Three Stabbed in Paris Attack, Suspect Cited 'Allah' Agence-France Presse gave more critical background to understand the furor:
The U.N. Security Council meeting was intended to solve problems regarding Russia and Ukraine, as the war grinds on in its fourth year. That, unfortunately, is not what is happening at the United Nations, in part due to the low-rent gutter-sniping of legacy European members like France. Mike Waltz, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, also slammed the French.
"It is disappointing – though not surprising – that this is how France deflects on its shameful vote to coddle some of the worst human rights abusers," Waltz said on X. "France voted for someone who has been lecturing, free, sovereign democracies like the United States, the UK, and Israel, while cozying up to the world’s worst oppressors." The international tussle captured the attention of political observers. "Today, at the UN Security Council meeting on the war in Ukraine, the U.S. walked out during France's intervention," remarked commentator Leslie Kajomovitz. "Listen to U.S. envoy Dan Negrea remind France that they would all be speaking German if it weren't for America, and France's pathetic reply." It should be noted that France has been very reluctant to aid the U.S. military operation in Iran, and indeed, has unusually cozy ties with Tehran. France would be wise to refrain from criticizing the United States over human rights when radical Islamists are roaming the Parisian streets and stabbing pregnant women, while criminalizing law-abiding citizens who have the audacity to complain about it. |
Until John Thune Gets This Through His Head, He'll Continue to Get Cooked by the GOP Base
 |
Sen. John Thune (R-SD) is doing what Bush-era Republicans do best: nothing. He’s going through the motions, making it look like he’s working. He'll try to pass off a valiant losing effort as a victory. Not good enough. The bases of both parties have grown tired of that show; Trump took a blowtorch to the all-talk, no-action dynamic that lulled many to sleep. Also, the era of moral victories is over. Either pass the damn bill or get lost. Right now, John Thune must pass the SAVE America Act, or he’ll lose his position as Senate Republicans' leader. What we’re witnessing is a man who can’t handle the pressure, who is too respectful of institutional norms, and who fails to see that winning is what truly matters. Democrats will exploit this romantic attachment to tradition and service against the GOP. They manipulated John during the DHS funding shutdown. He still doesn’t understand, even now, that he wasn’t supposed to work with Democrats on a stopgap measure to prevent a shutdown in September. John, Democrats want a shutdown. They have no reason to cooperate with you. His office posted his appearance on Sean Hannity, touting the slew of Trump nominees who had been confirmed. We don’t care—pass the SAVE America Act
— Kevin Von Tungeln (@KTungeln) July 28, 2026 — Angela 🐦🙏🦋🇺🇸 (@arwebst61) July 28, 2026
Also, notice how nuking the filibuster is possible. Theoretically, they can do it, but again, this deference to institutional norms, which won’t be respected under Democrats, is killing the party. The Democrats want to nuke it. They will nuke it once they regain control of the chamber. It’s time we do it, get ahead of it, and pass what we want to get done. The old world is coming to an end in the Senate, and Republicans are willing to let their action items waste away because of tradition or something. Editor’s Note: Republicans are fighting for election integrity by requiring proper identification to vote. |
The Questions About the Delay Regarding the Presser About the Seattle Shooting Rattle Its Mayor
 |
There was a horrific shooting at the Bite of Seattle food festival over the weekend. On Sunday, two suspects reportedly engaged in a gun battle. It turned the last day of the festival into a mass casualty event. Three people were killed, and another four were wounded. Two handguns were recovered, with a 15-year-old suspect being apprehended. Another person of interest, described as a “young person,” remains at large. Mayor Katie Wilson is a socialist who has never run anything in her life, and it showed Sunday night. The press conference was a mess, delayed by hours, with municipal and state officials caught up in a blame game sparked by the Seattle Police Department. They claimed the delay was due to the arrival of dignitaries participating, namely Gov. Bob Ferguson and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, though they were only informed of a press conference until after 10 p.m.. Wilson then spoke a little before 11 PM (via Seattle Times):
On Monday, Mayor Wilson became flustered after being pressed about the delays.
Who ordered the code red? Who delayed the press conference? |
Trump travels to General Motors Proving Ground to celebrate auto industry revival
 |
| U.S. President Donald Trump dances after speaking at General Motors’
Milford Proving Grounds on July 27, 2026 in Milford, Michigan. Trump is
expected to address US auto manufacturing, tariffs and show support for
Republican candidates ahead of the August 4 primary during the visit. President Donald Trump has traveled to the General Motors Proving Ground to celebrate what he called a “roaring comeback for America’s auto industry,” arguing that his trade agenda made the domestic automotive sector “great again.” While touring the Proving Grounds facility at General Motors on Monday in Milford, Michigan, Trump lamented how the domestic auto industry had been taken advantage of and sold out by globalist politicians. He stated that special interests led to foreign nations stealing American jobs, pillaging factories, and looting the crown jewels of what was once called America’s Motor City—Detroit. Trump said Michigan finally has a leader who will stand up for auto workers and put America first.
During his remarks, the president touted General Motors’ success in expanding operations, highlighting that truck and SUV production increased by 20% this year. He also pointed to an additional $9 billion investment by General Motors aimed at bringing auto manufacturing back home to the United States. President Trump asserted that the results seen in Michigan could never have been accomplished if Democrats had won the presidency in 2024, adding that there would be no domestic auto industry left today. He invited Auto Workers for Trump founder Brian Pannebacker onto the stage to say a few words to the packed crowd.
The White House stated that thanks to Trump and his America First tariff policies, automotive production was back and paychecks were coming home to American workers. |
Maine Dems Install Insider to Cover Party's Scandalous Slip-Up
 |
Conservative commentators were right to smell a setup when Maine Democrats rushed to anoint a replacement for Graham Platner — Carl Higbie called it exactly what it is: an “installed” candidate designed to paper over a mess the party made. This isn’t new behavior from a party that prides itself on process checks for everyone else but reflexively protects its own. Platner’s implosion was avoidable and self-inflicted; he suspended his Senate campaign earlier this month after a series of damaging revelations and a credible sexual-assault allegation that he has denied. Voters watched in real time as a hopeful insurgent candidacy turned into a liability Democrats suddenly had to manage instead of answering. State law gave the Maine Democratic Party an extremely tight window to replace him on the ballot, forcing a chaotic, insider-driven scramble rather than a proper democratic vetting process. That two-week sprint — with party operatives handpicking delegates and candidates behind closed doors — is exactly the kind of backroom politics that turns ordinary Mainers off. Unsurprisingly, delegates moved quickly and picked former state Senate president Troy Jackson at the party’s convention, clearing the path for a November match-up against Susan Collins. The coronation felt less like a grassroots choice and more like a coordinated salvage operation to keep the progressive machinery intact. Jackson is no moderate reset; he’s the progressive continuity candidate, backed by the same organizations that fueled Platner’s insurgent energy — including efforts from the Sanders-founded Our Revolution to mobilize activists and delegates for him. Democrats are essentially swapping one left-wing standard-bearer for another, proving this was never about representing Mainers so much as keeping a political brand alive. Patriotic, working Americans deserve better than this tired theater of insider deals and last-minute coronations. Republicans should seize the contrast — champion honest vetting, local voices, and accountability — and remind voters that the real test of leadership is fighting for constituents, not shielding candidate networks from consequence. |
New York's Mayor Plots Socialist Takeover with City-Run Grocery Stores
 |
New York’s new mayor has floated a radical experiment: city-run grocery stores selling a core basket of produce, meat and pantry staples at roughly 30 percent below retail. The mayor’s office celebrated the plan as a win for struggling families, but the blunt truth is that handing the market over to city hall is a political stunt dressed up as compassion. This pilot isn’t tiny theater — Mamdani has proposed one municipal outlet in each borough and identified the first site already, pitching the rollout as a multi-year program. Government-run stores in major cities have a long history of promising bargains and delivering shortages, higher costs elsewhere, and political headaches that fall back on taxpayers. Republicans and free-market critics smell socialism, and they’re right to be alarmed: when the mayor’s office starts picking winners and setting prices, private grocers, suppliers, and workers will be forced into an artificial economic squeeze. The media coverage and local opposition from businesses and council members show this plan is already facing real-world pushback and practical objections. Senator Tommy Tuberville didn’t mince words when he took the mayor’s scheme on — appearing on conservative outlets he warned it won’t last, and argued the policy is another example of Democrats weaponizing government programs to reward political constituencies rather than support hardworking citizens. Conservatives should pay attention: when incentives are wrong, the bills come due for the taxpayers, not the politicians who promised free lunches. Beyond partisan heat, there’s a sober fiscal reality: selling staples below market will either require huge subsidies, hidden cost-shifting, or result in limited selection and empty shelves — outcomes that hurt the very people the idea claims to help. Real conservatives believe in empowering workers, boosting supply, and cutting red tape so competition brings prices down, not bureaucrats deciding who gets a discount. Patriotic Americans should demand accountability: show us the budgets, the procurement plans, and the exit strategy before any more taxpayer dollars are committed to a political experiment. If city hall wants to help the poor, lower taxes, cut burdens on small grocers, and unlock private-sector supply chains — those real solutions respect taxpayers and preserve the free markets that built this country. |
