Fmr PM Truss to Newsmax: Starmer Is Failing UK
Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss told Newsmax on Friday that the government is failing the United Kingdom.
Truss appeared on "Finnerty" after anti-immigrant protests swept Belfast, Northern Ireland, following a Sudanese man's arrest on suspicion of attempted murder in a stabbing attack.
"We have a prime minister, Keir Starmer, who believes in open borders," Truss said. "He's a human rights lawyer.
"He's spent his time defending people who have entered our country illegally, and he does not want to change his worldview."
"And instead of dealing with the problem that we have in our country, he's attacking everybody from Elon Musk to Nigel Farage, who dares to question the policies that have led to this appalling atrocity on the streets of our country," Truss added.
Truss said people are "absolutely livid" about what is happening in the U.K.
"When we saw the footage of Henry Nowak, essentially the police handcuffing someone that was dying because they believed it to be a racist attack, rather than understanding what was happening on the ground, it was a sign that our institutions have become corrupted," Truss said.
"They become corrupted by the DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion]
mentality rather than focusing on everybody being treated equally under
the law and the establishment who got it so wrong for many years," she
added.
The former prime minister said Britain's leaders refuse to tell the truth about what mass migration has wrought.
"They're simply in denial about what's happening in our country," Truss said. "The police need to have new people appointed at the top who are responding to what the public want, rather than following a progressive agenda."
"Our institutions have become corrupted," Truss said. "They need to be changed. Keir Starmer, our prime minister, is unfortunately part of that establishment. They all need to go, in my view."
Truss said left-wing politicians want to encourage immigration to undermine the basis of Western civilization.
"People who don't support our values, and that that is what they want to achieve," Truss said. "They want to undermine the family. They want to undermine the nation-state."
"They want open borders. They want progressive ideology like transgender ideology," Truss added. "And people in Britain are saying, 'we've had enough of this. We want to hear the truth about what's happening in our country.'"
"The reaction by Keir Starmer is to arrest those people and put them in jail," Truss continued.
Bad News for Dems With Latest Polling Data on Platner
 |
As we reported, Democrats went all in for their nominee for the Senate in Maine, Graham Platner, despite all the vile things that have been revealed about him. Why did they do that? He had been polling about nine points ahead of Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) about two weeks ago. About a week ago, we reported how the data indicated that the margin was closing, despite Democrats' protestations that people didn't care about the things being revealed about Platner. An internal poll for Platner even indicated the numbers had closed - to Platner just leading by four, when an internal poll generally tends toward the person for whom they're polling. This is with the polling generally underestimating Collins by a lot for the past three elections. Then, President Donald Trump endorsed Collins, despite noting they had differences on policy, and he blasted Platner. READ MORE: Dems Sold Their Souls for Platner, but They're Not Going to Like This New Shock Data Trump's Surprising, Hilarious Endorsement of Maine Senate Candidate Now, Quantus Insights has some new numbers in on the race, and the Democrats who threw in with Platner have to be kicking themselves. They debased themselves to support him, and his lead has essentially disappeared. It's now a statistical tie. It has Platner at 46 percent, Collins at 45, with 7 percent undecided, and 2 percent other. Notice that in the generic congressional ballot, Democrats are up by 10. So Platner is doing worse than the generic Democrat, and Collins is doing better than the generic Republican. So much for Democrats attaching their hopes to him. Co-founder of Quantus, Jason Corley, confirmed how much it had closed, and he thinks it's now a "toss-up." He may be being kind. As we noted, this is before you count in
the 8 or so points the polls tend to underestimate Collins. If that
holds in this election, as it has in the last three elections, she may
be up by a fair amount. There's likely more to drop on Platner, and they haven't even fully directed their attacks at him, which they will do, now that he is past the primary. READ MORE: Scary Stuff We Should Be Concerned About Beyond Platner's Tattoo He Said What He Said: Sen. Kennedy Flattens Schumer, Platner As the 'Platner Wing' Tightens Its Grip You have to think that it is probably lean R now, given Collins' history of resilience in elections. Democrats were obviously wrong - character and Nazi tattoos do mean something to the electorate. |
He Said What He Said: Sen. Kennedy Flattens Schumer, Platner As the 'Platner Wing' Tightens Its Grip
 |
As I wrote on Thursday, the results of the Maine Democrat Senate primary made clear that a majority of the Democrats who voted wouldn't care if Graham Platner kicked puppies, crushed butterflies with his bare hand, and stole old ladies' purses, much less be a Nazi sympathizer and allegedly physically abusive towards a woman, provided he does his part in giving the party control of the U.S. Senate. While he has his true believers in the Senate, like Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), others, like Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), have been purposely avoiding saying too much about Platner, and his Republican colleague, Sen.John Kennedy (R-LA), knows exactly why. Kennedy has made it a point this week on at least two occasions - one on the Senate floor and one in a Fox News interview - to point out how it's now the "Platner wing" of the party that controls it, and also to warn folks exactly what that entails and the kind of person Graham Platner is and what he represents. SEE ALSO: Report: The Graham Platner 'Redemption' Tour Hits a Snag As Another Alleged Ex Spills the Tea In his Senate floor speech, Kennedy observed that Schumer was now "taking his orders from the Graham Platner wing of the Democratic Party" because that wing of the party "is in control." "Many members of
Democratic leadership are scared to death, and they're gonna do what the
Graham Platner wing of the party wants," he went on to say. They want
to "burn it down, they want chaos, because they think it will help them
win the midterm elections." And just who is this guy, the leader of this wing of the Democrat Party? Kennedy explained it on Fox News as only he can and in a way that would make a great campaign ad for Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who Platner (and Schumer) would love to defeat:
I think at one point he implied he wished the Taliban were better shots to kill our people. This is not normal. I mean, this guy is 10 exits past normal.
In another clip, Kennedy talked about how, though the Republican Party was not perfect, "the other side is crazy. I mean this is not normal behavior," he said of Platner and the Platner wing of the Democrat Party: And more to the point, Maine voters - outside of the ones who don't care about the Nazi tattoo, the sexting, the Kik account, and the allegedly physically abusive behavior - deserve to know the truth about the guy who wants to be their next senator, because he certainly hasn't been keen to tell it. And because he won't, it's up to the people who do respect the voters of this country and love America to get the word out that this guy is seriously bad news. |
TX Democrat Bobby Pulido Lied: Tape Catches Candidate Bragging About Bailing a Child Molester Out of Jail
 |
Footage has resurfaced of Bobby Pulido, a well-known singer and the Democrat nominee for Texas’ 15th District, boasting about how he worked to get his serial sexual predator bandmate out of jail. On a YouTube show in 2019, Pulido regaled Hispanic comedian Jose Luis Zagar
with a story of how he managed to have his accordionist Frankie Caballero,
who would go on to sexually assault an eight-year-old girl, released from jail without revealing why his associate got locked up. “But check this out,” Pulido told Zagar. “That guy…they threw him in jail. I remember when I was starting out, I went to get him out of jail.” The New York Post reported that court records revealed Caballero was subject to arrest on numerous occasions during Pulido’s rise during the 90s, and was repeatedly bailed out of jail. In 1994, Caballero was released under a personal recognizance bond for sexual assault after being held for just 10 days. Caballero was indicted in Hidalgo County for the felony incident, but continued touring with Pulido. The indictment persisted for five years until prosecutors dismissed the matter in 2000. Pulido’s great-uncle Rene Guerra was the Hidalgo County District Attorney at the time of the dismissal. In 2014, Caballero was convicted for indecent sexual contact with a minor and was required to register as a sex offender, and was recently made eligible for parole after being sentenced to five years for strangulation of a family member. In a statement similar to that released by the Graham Platner campaign when asked why he maintained an active account on a platform referred to as a “predator’s paradise,” the Pulido campaign has denied that the 2019 interview in which the candidate explicitly stated that he “went to get [Caballero] out of jail” meant that he merely had given Caballero a chance to perform, according to the Post. The campaign likewise denied that Pulido had knowledge of Caballero’s status as a sex offender. Pulido himself has had a troubled history with sexual deviancy. A famous music video released by Pulido features himself simulating acts of public masturbation and crossdressing. The video was so odd that the Mexican media inquired as to whether or not Pulido was a homosexual. In 2023, he posted a picture of a woman at his concert "inadvertently exposing herself” and has promoted and shared pornography on social media. He later commented that “it's impossible to have Twitter and not watch porn.” In another incident, he exposed himself so that he could urinate on Donald Trump’s Hollywood star. Despite these numerous stories of indecency, Pulido widely advertised his desire to perform at the quinceañeras of girls located in the 15th District after receiving criticism from his Republican opponent Rep. Monica De La Cruz and “supports trans individuals using the bathroom of their choice.” Pulido will face off against De La Cruz in the midterm elections this November. |
U.S. Wins Big in World Cup Opener
 |
The U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team secured the win and three points in their World Cup opener versus Paraguay after a 4-to-1 performance.
The U.S. was led to the win by the quality finishing of forward Folarin Balogun, who nabbed two goals in the first half, one of which included a stoppage-time left-footed shot into the top-left corner. The U.S.'s fourth goal was a last-second thriller that came in the 97th minute to give them a 3-goal cushion should the group winner be decided by goal differential.
— U.S. Soccer Men's National Team (@USMNT) June 13, 2026
Paraguay managed to claw back a goal in the 73rd minute, but were unable to overcome the first half scoring of the U.S.. A Paraguayan own goal created by Christian Pulisic in the seventh minute set the tone of the match for the South American squad early on in the night. — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) June 13, 2026 Pulisic, the USMNT star winger, was subbed off to start the second half. The move from U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino caused concern as to whether or not Pulisic sustained an injury during the match, but it appears to be a load management move as the team looks for a prolonged campaign into the knockout rounds.
The USMNT will head to Seattle to take on Australia's Socceroos on June 19. With the win, they now sit at the top of Group D. |
Democrat Sen. Kaine strays from party by rejecting claims that Karmelo Anthony's murder conviction was racially motivated😲
Virginia Democrat Senator Tim Kaine has broken ranks with members of his own party by rejecting claims that the murder conviction of 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony was racially motivated.
Anthony, who is Black, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35
years in prison by a Texas jury for the fatal April 2025 stabbing of
17-year-old student-athlete Austin Metcalf, who was White, during a high
school track meet in Frisco. The media-frenzied trial, which concluded
earlier this week in Collin County, quickly transformed into a national
debate.
Following the verdict, several well-known Democrats and far-left civil rights advocates publicly decried the ruling, describing the conviction and 35-year sentence as a racially unequal judicial process that “disproportionately penalizes young Black men.”
Critics of the verdict argued that the “racist” jury unfairly
rejected Anthony’s claim of self-defense, which argued that he had acted
out of fear during a physical confrontation with Metcalf inside a
crowded team tent. The public outcry intensified online and outside the
courthouse, where emotional demonstrations led to clashes and multiple
arrests, as disappointed supporters of Anthony expressed outrage.
Nonetheless, Senator Kaine (D-Va.) pushed back against the narrative that race dictated the courtroom outcome. In a Fox News interview, reported by The Washington Times, the veteran Virginia lawmaker and former civil rights attorney emphasized the importance of respecting the jury’s decision based on the evidence presented throughout the eight-day trial.
Kaine stated that while the tragedy has “devastated both families and deeply shaken the local community,” accusing the 12-person jury of racism completely undermines the core framework of the legal system, especially in a case where prosecutors demonstrated that Anthony brought a hidden knife to the meet and initiated an unjustified escalation.
“I have a hard time understanding why they would say that,” Kaine told Fox News Digital when asked about claims from Democrats that the verdict was unfair and/or racially charged. “I know what they’re saying, but I have a hard time understanding.”
Kaine’s break from the ongoing rhetoric of his party’s progressive wing aligns closely with sentiments expressed by the victim’s family, who have fiercely maintained from the beginning that the tragedy was a matter of right and wrong — rather than race. Following the sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, condemned the outside political and racial exploitation of his son’s death, reiterating that the legal proceedings were strictly about accountability for a senseless act of violence.
Greg Kelly Slams Anti-American Protesters at UFC Freedom 250
 |
They came for a celebration of American strength and tradition, and Greg Kelly did what real journalists ought to do: he called out the performative protesters trying to turn a patriotic event into another newsroom narrative. On his Newsmax show he pushed back hard, reminding viewers that law and order matter more than virtue-signaling interruptions, and that if you want to complain, do it in the voting booth — not by trying to shut down a national commemoration. The UFC Freedom 250 is scheduled to take place on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026, a once-in-a-generation event timed to patriotic observances and built around a packed card meant to entertain millions. Hosting a professional sporting event at the presidential residence is unprecedented in modern times, and conservatives should celebrate the boldness of reclaiming public spaces for Americans rather than letting them be ceded to agenda-driven activists. Predictably, the usual legal alarms were sounded by groups seeking to block the event, but a federal judge rejected the bid to stop the fights from going forward, recognizing that this is a permitted use of public forums and that the lawsuit came far too late to upend massive, lawful preparations. That judicial decision was the sensible outcome — courts exist to uphold rules, not to become political cudgels for left-wing groups trying to micromanage public celebration. Reporters
complaining about access should remember that the White House has the
authority to manage who is admitted to private events on the grounds,
and for this occasion the press corps was informed they would not be
allowed onto the South Lawn unless the UFC granted credentials. If
Washington’s permanent media class truly cared about fairness they’d
focus on covering the substance of the event instead of whining about
process when those hosting the event set the terms. The White House and UFC didn’t skimp on honoring the armed forces — roughly 1,200 active-duty troops have been invited to attend, a fitting tribute to the men and women who defend our liberty and the kind of audience that should be front and center at patriotic festivities. Conservatives ought to be proud that an event showcasing American athleticism will also prominently thank our service members, rather than letting activists talk over the moment. Security officials have treated the Freedom 250 as a top-tier event and designated it accordingly, while critics tried every trick — from last-minute lawsuits to theatrical protests and even complaints about ancillary lighting — to make political hay. None of that should be surprising; the left’s playbook has been to obstruct, litigate, and denounce anything that draws crowds away from their narrative, but American traditions and free enterprise will not be bullied off the South Lawn. At the end of the day this is about who owns America’s public life: will it belong to hardworking citizens who love our country and want to celebrate, or to a handful of activists and media elites who try to sanitize and politicize every living room? Greg Kelly’s blunt rebuke to the protesters was the right tone for these times — firm, unapologetic, and loyal to the idea that the White House should be a place where Americans of all stripes can gather and be entertained without being lectured by the professional aggrieved. |
SpaceX IPO Soars as Musk Becomes World's First Trillionaire
 |
Friday’s Wall Street fireworks were more than a market spectacle — they marked a watershed for American enterprise. When SpaceX began trading after its historic initial public offering, the meteoric rise in its share price vaulted Elon Musk past the 13-digit mark, making him the first trillionaire in world history, according to multiple outlets reporting on the June 12 market debut. The IPO was priced late Thursday at $135 a share and opened on the Nasdaq at roughly $150, surging as high as the mid-$170s before settling near $161 by the close, pushing SpaceX’s market capitalization toward the $2 trillion range. Those raw market numbers are not trivia — they are the result of investors valuing human ingenuity and bold risk-taking on an unprecedented scale. Let’s be clear: this was the biggest IPO in American history, raising roughly $75 billion and creating instant wealth for thousands of employees and early backers. That kind of capital formation and wealth creation is exactly what makes America exceptional — not the envy-driven narratives the left peddles when the market rewards success. Predictably, the same media and
progressive elites who cheer regulatory handouts are now wringing their
hands about “paper wealth” and inequality, as if innovation and moonshot
ambition are crimes. Meanwhile, ordinary investors — including
retirement funds that may be fast-tracked into holding the stock — and
workers who built rockets and laid fiber are seeing real gains, a
reminder that free markets lift broad swaths of the country when
businesses are allowed to thrive. Musk’s ascent didn’t happen in a vacuum; it’s the accumulation of decades of bets across electric vehicles, satellites, AI and social media, with stakes in Tesla, xAI and more folded into the public valuation that propelled his net worth over the trillion mark. This is a tribute to entrepreneurship — high risk, relentless work and a willingness to challenge the status quo — not an indictment to be weaponized into calls for punitive new taxes. For patriotic Americans who still believe in opportunity, Friday’s market outcome should be a clarion call: defend the institutions that let innovators build, invest and succeed. If the left pursues envy-driven policies that punish success, we will choke off the very dynamism that funds wages, pensions and the next wave of American breakthroughs. Celebrate the win for capitalism, and fight to keep the pathways open for the next generation of risk-takers. |
