Trump: Senate Iran Vote Helps Enemy
President Donald Trump slammed the U.S. Senate for passing a "poorly timed and meaningless" war powers resolution while his administration negotiates with Iranian officials. In a Truth Social post late Tuesday, Trump said the Senate vote undercut his administration's efforts to pressure Tehran and complicated ongoing negotiations aimed at securing a broader agreement with the Islamic Republic. "So, I have Iran on the 'ropes,' ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything, and for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the United States and its President, ME," Trump wrote. He accused the Senate of sending the wrong message to what he called the "Number One Sponsor of Terror in the World" by approving the resolution. Trump also blasted the four Republican senators who joined Democrats in backing the measure, calling them "Republican Losers," and said the vote had made his job more difficult. "But I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!" he added. The Senate voted 50-48 on Tuesday in favor of a war powers resolution directing Trump to halt U.S. military action against Iran. The measure previously passed the House and marks the first time both chambers of Congress have approved a resolution seeking to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities under the War Powers Act enacted in 1973. The resolution passed with support from Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
 Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., voted against the measure, while Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and David McCormick of Pennsylvania were absent. Despite the vote, the White House dismissed the resolution as largely symbolic. Administration officials argued that it carries no force of law because it is not presented to the president for signature and said hostilities had already ended following an April ceasefire. The Trump administration continues to pursue negotiations with Iran, and officials maintain the president retains constitutional authority as commander in chief. Legal experts remain divided over whether Congress can compel executive action through the War Powers Act without a presidential signature. Democrats, led by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., argued Congress must assert its constitutional role in decisions involving military conflict. Republicans backing Trump counter that the resolution risks weakening the administration's leverage at a critical moment in talks with Tehran. The Senate action comes as lawmakers are expected to review any future agreement with Iran, particularly if it affects the country's nuclear program. |
FIFA President Divulges Who Will Present the World Cup Trophy - Prepare for the Leftist Meltdown
 |
We've been seeing a lot of fun surrounding the World Cup so far, with a lot of our guests finding out all the wonderful things about America. Meanwhile, we've discovered some of their fun traditions as well, such as the Tartan Army can probably sing or drink anyone under the table, and the Norwegians have brought back rowing, with style. READ MORE: Norwegian World Cup Fans Take NY and NJ by Storm With Rousing Tradition World Cup Freddy Makes It to Famous American Landmark - Then Gets a Very Tasty Offer It's some time yet until the final game on July 19. But as our sister site Townhall reported, the president of FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association), Gianni Infantino, disclosed on Fox and Friends something that's likely to cause a leftist meltdown. Brian Kilmeade reminded him that President Donald Trump had given out the club trophy, and he asked whether he would be handing out the World Cup trophy? "We're going to be together with the President, enjoying the Final and handing the trophy to the winner, of course, together," Infantino said. "Of course, we are together all the time." Infantino and Trump will be presenting it to the captain of the winning team. Here's what Brian was talking about with the club trophy last year. It's not unusual.
You know folks on the left are going to lose it. I'm even seeing some people suggesting/joking (?) on X that Iran should win, so Trump would have to give them the trophy. Imagine how twisted you have to be to go there. READ MORE: DHS Sec Exposes Iran's Attempt to Pack World Cup Delegation With IRGC-Linked Figures White House World Cup Task Force director Andrew Giuliani said Trump had been closely following the tournament, although he hadn't yet been able to get to a game. Giuliani said Trump was also very impressed with the U.S. team.
Imagine if the U.S. won? That would be quite the event with Trump presenting. |
Former LAFD Chief Hits Karen Bass With Blistering Defamation Suit Alleging Mayor Lied Through Her Teeth
 |
The massive warehouse fire in the Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles has been burning and spewing toxic chemicals into the air for a week now. As RedState’s Jennifer Oliver O’Connell reported, Gov. Gavin Newsom was slow to declare a state of emergency, as he and LA Mayor Karen Bass were in Chicago rubbing elbows with the Democrat elites at the Obama Presidential Center opening. The Mayor seems to have a habit of being out of town when major conflagrations break out. To be fair, she couldn‘t have known that a warehouse would go up in flames — but she was warned about the dangerous conditions that led to the disastrous January 2025 wildfires that destroyed the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Instead of sticking around to protect her city, she jetted off to Ghana to attend the inauguration of the country’s new president. Now the former fire chief that the mayor axed, Kristin Crowley, is suing her for defamation and accusing her of lying about her knowledge of the dangerous conditions. She pulls no punches in the suit, which was filed Tuesday:
MORE: Los Angeles Is Burning Again. Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom Are Once Again Slow Rolling Their Response Crowley had already filed a lawsuit in February alleging that the city violated the labor code when she was summarily kicked to the curb by the mayor. This new suit, however, is different because she is alleging that Bass personally defamed her and should pay damages out of her own pocket. And she’s not alleging that Bass simply misled the public — she’s flat-out calling her a lying liar:
The suit points to Bass’ comments during a May 6 debate when she laid the blame for the disaster at Crowley’s feet:
We’ve extensively covered Bass’ disastrous leadership before, during, and after the fires; to lay the blame all on Crowley is ridiculous (even if Crowley herself earned plenty of legitimate concern about her misplaced DEI and LGBTQ priorities when she was chief).

CNN's Van Jones Had the Perfect Line to Describe the NY Socialist Takeover Tonight
 |
They were expected to have a great night, and they did. The candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani all won. The socialists swept the race. While the national Democrats are Trump-deranged and focused on stopping the MAGA agenda, they have a serial killer hiding within their walls—and it’s wearing a Che Guevara shirt, with a copy of Das Kapital in its back pocket. And while this political killer is no fan of Trump, they want to take out the establishment Democrats first. This party got a reality check tonight: they might have to spend heavily to keep these people out, because the candidates that are winning these primaries are whack job city. “Tonight wasn’t just a bad night for so-called ‘Leader’ Hakeem Jeffries. It was the night the Democrat establishment officially surrendered to Zohran Mamdani and the socialist wing of their party,” said NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
in a press release. “Every House Democrat, in safe and competitive districts alike, will now answer to the radicals calling the shots. And Americans should be terrified by where the Democrat Party is headed.” Fox News’ Bill Melugin has more:
CNN’s Van Jones also had a good take on what happened tonight: “This is a battle between the establishment and this insurgency. And the roof is collapsing on the Democratic party establishment tonight.” Rep. Dan Goldman lost his primary, suffering a tough defeat to challenger Brad Lander, who secured nearly 65 percent of the vote. Goldman, one of the most outspoken anti-Trump voices, was pro-Israel. That’s what cost him his seat. He led the impeachment efforts but was also a total doofus. Still, the reason for his major loss is clear.

Tyler Metcalf's Dad Absolutely Torches The View's Sunny Hostin Over Her Remarks About His Son's Death
 |
Jeff Metcalf can’t hold his tongue anymore about how Karmelo Anthony’s family behaved during sentencing, and The View’s Sunny Hostin using his son’s death as a prop to make a shoddy point about race in America. He was on Will Cain’s show this week and did not hold back on Hostin, while also noting that Anthony’s family did not show any remorse. They weren’t even there when their son was sentenced to 35 years in prison for murder. Anthony fatally stabbed Jeff’s son, Austin, in Frisco, Texas, at a track meet in 2025.
Metcalf: "Nothing... They weren't there for the sentencing, and they were not there for victim impact statements. They left that poor child up there by himself. As soon as the verdict was read... his family and some other advocates left the courtroom and turned in their badges." Anthony got off easy. He should be either serving life in prison or on death row. This is the segment that Metcalf ranted about, where even Whoopi Goldberg had to rein in Hostin.

AOC secures victory in New York’s 14th Congressional District primary
 |
 |
On Tuesday, the Associated Press called the race with 32% of the total votes counted, projecting AOC as the winner with 88.2% of the vote.
GOP candidate Diamant Hysenaj (R-N.Y.)
ran uncontested, sending him straight to the November general election.
AOC faced a challenge from two other candidates, chiefly Marty Dolan (D-N.Y.), a moderate Democrat and former Wall Street investment banker who is ran a campaign explicitly positioned against “far-left radicalism.”
Felipe Garcia (D-N.Y.)
AOC’s other Democrat competitor, is a healthcare operations manager running on a platform focused on practical neighborhood solutions, safety and workforce pathways.
The 14th District is heavily progressive and considered a “safe Democrat” seat. Ocasio-Cortez will face off against Hysenaj in the general election on November 3, 2026.
Scottish Visitor Praises Real American Hospitality Over Media Myths
 |
A Scottish World Cup tourist named Shaun Alexander recently put a bright spotlight on what every proud American already knows: our people are friendly, generous, and eager to share the best of this country with visitors. Alexander gushed about the kindness he found in states from Texas to the Midwest and couldn’t stop raving about Texas barbecue and chicken-fried steak — the kind of down-to-earth hospitality that left-leaning pundits never seem to notice. His plans to return in an RV to explore our national parks prove the real America sells itself when given the chance to be seen. Let’s be blunt: the elite media’s caricature of the United States as a nation in decay doesn’t match what real travelers are experiencing on Main Street. When ordinary Americans open their homes, their wallets, and their hearts to strangers, it exposes the disconnect between pompous punditry and the day-to-day reality of our communities. Conservatives should celebrate these moments — they’re proof that our values of neighborliness and pride still win out in the end. The scenes in Boston and other host cities have shown foreigners that America still knows how to throw a welcome party, even if coastal commentators would rather shriek about division than admit the truth. Scottish fans took over bars, filled stadiums, and left with memories of being treated like honored guests — not conquered subjects of clickbait narratives. That kind of good will is the quiet backbone of soft power, and it’s earned, not granted. News outlets covering the segment even noted that Florida’s governor extended a friendly welcome to Alexander and his wife ahead of an upcoming match, a reminder that conservative leaders like Governor Ron DeSantis know how to turn diplomacy into hospitality. A governor who seizes opportunities to showcase American warmth and invite goodwill to his state is doing more to sell this country’s strengths abroad than a thousand sanctimonious op-eds. If politicians want to rebuild America’s standing, they should emulate that common-sense, outward-facing approach. Hardworking Americans should take pride in what visitors are taking home: stories of kindness, great food, and wide-open spaces. Let these travelers tell their friends and families what they actually saw — not the doom-and-gloom the coastal media peddles — and watch how the truth rebuilds our reputation faster than any press release. This is the real America, and patriots everywhere should loudly defend it. |
Justice Served: Texas Teen Gets 35 Years for High School Murder
 |
A jury in McKinney, Texas found 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, and Anthony was sentenced to 35 years behind bars. The verdict offers a measure of justice for a grieving family and a community that watched a senseless act of violence unfold at a high school track meet. Prosecutors told jurors that the confrontation in the bleachers was not self-defense but a deliberate attack after an argument, and witnesses described the tense exchange that ended with Austin’s death. The trial laid out hard facts that many in the media rushed past while trying to turn a local tragedy into a national headline about something else. In the aftermath, Karmelo Anthony’s parents have given high-profile interviews claiming their son was unfairly painted as the aggressor and saying the case was being miscast, while also reporting threats against their family. Those public statements have only inflamed tempers and made a painful situation worse for the Metcalf family, who still mourn a promising young life cut short. Austin’s father, Jeff Metcalf, has publicly exploded with emotion since the verdict, sharply criticizing Anthony’s parents and calling out what he characterized as opportunism and race-baiting by some who capitalized on the case. His pain is raw and understandable, but his rhetoric also shows how grief can be weaponized on all sides when the media waters a story with outrage for clicks. Conservatives should be clear-eyed: this is a crime story, not a script for identity politics. The focus must remain on accountability and the safety of our children, not fundraising, performative outrage, or turning courts into stages for grievance. The way some networks and influencers rushed to frame the narrative before the facts were fully known is emblematic of an entitlement to shape truth that ordinary Americans don’t have. We must also reject anyone who uses this tragedy to excuse violence or to demonize an entire community; law and order matters, and the rights of victims must be defended without descending into cheap theatrics. At the same time, honest conservatives can demand that reporting be sober and fair, that families be treated with dignity, and that those who profit from polarizing a community be called out. Hardworking Americans want assurances that schools remain safe and that justice is blind to celebrity, race, or social media trends. Let this verdict be a moment to stand with the Metcalf family’s loss, insist on consequences for violent acts, and refuse to let partisan opportunists turn sorrow into sport. |
