The active compromise that has held the American far left together over these past few years is quite simple: No matter how contradictory the identities of the most ardent proponents may be, as long as your animating motive is undermining America and its history, you’re in.

The desperately poor and the obscenely wealthy. Self-flagellating college kids and urban activists. Foaming-at-the-mouth atheists and devout Muslims. The contradictions are clear, but as long as there’s an enemy to focus on, those can be put aside.

However, Melissa Chaudhry could be the point where those weak bonds finally snap in a meaningful way.

Chaudhry is attempting to unseat Rep. Adam Smith in the Democratic primary for Washington’s 9th Congressional District, based in and around Seattle. While Smith is a reliably liberal vote and has been since he entered Congress in 1997, he’s not really a leftist, per se, which makes him fair game in the 2026 cycle.

If history is any guide, Republicans should be bracing for a difficult midterm. With the lone exceptions of 1998 and 2002, the party occupying the White House has lost House seats in virtually every modern midterm election, fueling Democratic confidence about retaking the chamber next year. But a new poll suggests the outcome may not be quite the slam dunk Democrats are anticipating. Republicans may be in a stronger position than many analysts have assumed.

A Washington Post/Ipsos poll released on Saturday asked participants which political party they trusted to handle the economy better. Despite the spike in energy prices due to the war with Iran, Republicans held a four-point advantage, with 39% choosing the GOP compared with 35% who selected the Democrats.

Likewise, despite the Left’s portrayal of President Donald Trump as a reckless authoritarian bent on destroying “our democracy,” Republicans also narrowly led on the question of which party voters agreed with more on “important issues.” Forty-one percent sided with the GOP, while 40% chose the Democrats.

Appeals court rules DOJ must hand over tapes of Biden, biographer to Heritage Foundation | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

EXCERPT:


Biden could not remember when he was vice president, under President Barack Obama, nor was he clear on when his son Beau Biden died from cancer.

The Heritage Foundation has sought the release of recordings from 2016-17 between Joe Biden and his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. The recordings are redacted. The existence of those files came to light after prosecutor Robert Hur interviewed then-President Joe Biden over classified documents in 2023.

A federal appeals court just removed the last hurdle to the Heritage Foundation’s effort. Biden tried to block the Department of Justice from releasing the tapes but on Monday night, that appeal was denied in a 2-1 decision. “We conclude that Biden has not shown a likelihood that the requested materials must be withheld from disclosure,” said the appeals court.

Hur’s reports on the conversations with Zwonitzer revealed that Biden could not remember when he was vice president, under President Barack Obama, nor was he clear on when his son Beau Biden died from cancer.

The order reads “that the motion for an injunction pending appeal be denied. Appellant has not satisfied stringent requirements for an injunction pending appeal.” The court goes on to order that “this court’s administrative injunction entered July 10, 2026, is hereby extended to August 3, 2026 to allow Appellant, if he wishes, to seek further review.”

The Heritage Foundation filed a public records request for the recordings, not just the written report and transcript, of Biden’s interviews with Zwonitzer. In June 2024, it was revealed that Zwonitzer had deleted some of the recordings of interviews with Biden, motivated in part by the investigation into Hur’s conversations with Biden.

Hur documented a conversation Biden had with his ghostwriter Zwonitzer, saying “Biden’s memory also appeared to have significant limitations—both at the time he spoke to Zwonitzer in 2017, as evidenced by their recorded conversations, and today, as evidenced by his recorded interview in our office.” It was this passage that led the Heritage Foundation to seek out the Zwonitzer tapes.

The interviews between Hur and Biden, conducted in October 2023, were over whether or not Biden, prior to serving as president, had unlawfully retained classified materials during any of his previous roles in government, including as senator and vice president. Of particular note was a passage from a report Hur wrote on the interviews, which the DOJ would not hand over to Congress to assess Biden’s mental capability.

Hur was attempting to discover if Biden was guilty of the same infraction of absconding with classified documents for which his DOJ, under prosecutor Jack Smith, had prosecuted Donald Trump. The report from Hur said that Biden should not be prosecuted.

“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur’s report read. “Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then a former president well into his eighties—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of wilfulness.”

In other words, Hur said that Biden was too old and too dotty to be taken seriously by a jury or to be held accountable for alleged crimes. Photos had emerged showing boxes of classified documents housed in his garage next to his Corvette. Other boxes of documents were revealed to be scattered across a few different offices.

Biden would not become the Democrat nominee for president until 2020, entering office in January 2021, years after the state of his mental ability was already in question by those close to him. In June 2024, when he again faced Trump on the presidential debate stage, his mental capacity came quickly into question as he fumbled his words and seemed to not know what he was saying. “We finally beat Medicare,” he said, among other questionable gaffes.

 


Federal Appeals Court Hands Victory to Trump in Mail-In Voting Battle– slaynews.com

Federal Appeals Court Hands Victory to Trump in Mail-In Voting Battle– slaynews.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump secured a temporary legal victory in his effort to strengthen oversight of mail-in voting after a federal appeals court paused a ruling that had blocked a proposed U.S. Postal Service election rule.

A unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Postal Service may continue moving forward with the Trump-backed proposal while litigation proceeds.

The proposed rule would require states to provide the Postal Service with approved absentee voter lists before mail-in ballots are delivered.

However, the administration cannot yet implement the policy because a separate federal judge in Massachusetts issued an injunction last month blocking the rule, and that order remains in effect.

Trump Administration Pushes for Tighter Mail-In Ballot Oversight

The proposal is part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to tighten safeguards surrounding mail-in voting.

Republicans have long argued that absentee voting systems require stronger verification measures to ensure ballots are delivered only to eligible voters.

Postmaster General David Steiner defended the proposal during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing last month.

Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) asked whether the Postal Service would continue delivering ballots if a state refused to provide its absentee voter list.

“Yes or no — if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?” Peters asked.

“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Steiner replied.

“We would tell the state that we need the manifest.”

Court Says Challenge May Be Premature

The legal challenge was brought by the NAACP, which argued the proposal violates a 2021 settlement reached with the Postal Service following litigation over mail delays during the 2020 election.

Under that agreement, the Postal Service committed to “prioritiz[e] . . . the timely delivery of Election Mail” during every national election through 2028.

The D.C. Circuit concluded that the Trump administration is likely to prevail because the lawsuit was filed before the regulation had been finalized.

The judges also found that the proposed rule does not clearly conflict with the 2021 settlement.

In addition, the panel determined that the administration could suffer irreparable harm if it were prevented from completing the rulemaking process before the upcoming midterm elections.

“In this context, ‘there can be no do over’ once the election occurs,” the court wrote.

That observation reflects the administration’s argument that election procedures must be resolved before ballots are mailed rather than after votes have already been cast and certified.

Legal Battle Continues

Democrats and left-leaning advocacy groups have argued the proposal could interfere with mail-in voting and prevent eligible voters from receiving ballots.

The NAACP welcomed the lower court’s earlier decision blocking the rule, contending that the administration was attempting to undermine voting by mail.

The Trump administration has maintained that the proposal is intended to protect election integrity by ensuring ballots are delivered only to verified absentee voters.

The appeals court’s ruling does not end the dispute.

The Massachusetts injunction remains in place, preventing the Postal Service from implementing the regulation while that case proceeds.

If that injunction is eventually lifted, the Postal Service could move closer to enforcing the new requirements even as litigation continues.

The decision nevertheless represents an important procedural victory for the Trump administration as it continues pursuing election reforms ahead of future federal elections.

Mail-in voting became one of the most contentious issues of the 2020 election cycle, and the administration argues additional safeguards are necessary before another national election is conducted under the system.

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” CNN Senior Political Commentator Van Jones said that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) “stabbed in the back” outgoing Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) for “Chevalier, who has no credentials, except she’s known for having celebrated October 7 murders of Israelis on October 8, and never apologized. … And then no one says anything. Everybody’s quiet.”

Jones said, “I am happy that the young people are fighting for affordability, Medicare for all, all the good things. I’ve been waiting my whole life to see a youth movement do what it’s doing. But it’s being hijacked by people who are putting in nutty ideas, supporting terrorists, nutty ideas saying we don’t need cops and prisons, we can’t deport anybody, even if they rape somebody. Who said this? Chevalier.”

He added, “I just want to say that there was a shockwave through this party when Mamdani, who everybody’s excited about, stabbed in the back, Espaillat, who…was the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, beloved by everybody, who backed Mamdani. Mamdani said, I will back you. Then he turns around, stabs him in the back. And backed Chevalier, who has no credentials, except she’s known for having celebrated October 7 murders of Israelis on October 8, and never apologized. This sent a shockwave through the party. People said, hold on a second, why, of all the people in New York City, would Mamdani pick this person to betray someone? And then no one says anything. Everybody’s quiet.”

Socialist Candidate Calls for More Migrants in Government to Combat ‘Exploitive’ Nature of Americans– slaynews.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

Colorado socialist congressional candidate Melat Kiros called for more migrants and people with “heritage in the global south” to seek elected office to push back against the “exploitative” nature of the American people.

Kiros is arguing that the United States plays an “exploitative and extractive” role in the world.

The Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate made the remarks during the Wa’Ela Tigrai event in Denver last weekend.

During the event, she discussed her congressional campaign after defeating longtime incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) in last month’s Democrat primary.

Kiros said changing the international order would require electing officials who understand what she described as American exploitation on a “fundamental level.”

Kiros Calls for Shift in ‘Global World Order’

Kiros pointed to the rise of House progressives such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) while discussing the importance of helping other like-minded candidates enter government.

“There’s a certain reckoning that we are going to have to have with the global world order as it exists today and the way that it fundamentally will have to shift going forward,” Kiros said.

“The responsibility that we have as Americans, the recognition that is going to be required of us, of the exploitative and extractive nature that we play on the global scale and the global stage is only going to be challenged if we are getting represented by people who understand that on a fundamental level.”

Kiros then argued that more immigrants and people with ties to developing nations must win elected office.

“And that means getting more immigrants into office,” she said.

“That means getting more people who have heritage in the global south into office because that’s where those decisions are made specifically.”

Kiros was among several candidates endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America who defeated incumbent Democrats during the 2026 primary cycle.

Candidate Says Legal System Works ‘Exactly as It Was Designed To’

Kiros also discussed how her experience attending law school shaped her view of the American legal and economic systems.

“When I was in law school, I tell everybody that was where I learned that the system is not broken, that it’s actually working exactly as it was designed to,” Kiros said.

“And that really kind of broke my spirit a little bit and made me believe there’s really nothing to be done, which is why I went to a big law firm in the first place and just wanted to retire and take care of my parents and call it a day.”

“But that’s no way to live, right?” she continued.

“At the end of the day, the spirit of our people, the spirit of our community and our culture is to fight and to never give up.”

Kiros said she intends to continue pushing her political agenda regardless of the outcome of the general election.

“Regardless of what ends up happening, regardless of what happens with my own candidacy and this general and then what this potential, you know, office could look like with me in it,” she said.

“I would rather go down fighting than to give up.”

However, the Democrat candidate is expected to win the general election in the reliably blue district.

Kiros Was Fired from Major Law Firm

Kiros previously worked at the prominent law firm Sidley Austin.

The firm fired her in 2023 after she published an open letter criticizing law firms, including Sidley Austin, that had called for action against antisemitism on college campuses.

Her victory over DeGette and her comments in Denver reflect the growing influence of the Democratic Party’s socialist wing.

The DSA is increasingly challenging longtime incumbents while calling for sweeping changes to American institutions and the country’s role abroad.

Oregon’s war on confused children, by the numbers: It’s REALLY bad– www.theblaze.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

For the better part of two decades, confused children across the Anglosphere deceived into believing that they might be in the wrong bodies have been widely subjected to medications that adversely affect bone density, cognitive performance, emotional stability, and/or future fertility. This horrific experiment, briefly provided a patina of legitimacy by so-called experts and politicians, has not only been ruinous but is based on junk science.

To the chagrin of the profitable and predatory child sex-rejection industry, the Trump administration, like the British government, has taken action nationwide against the “chemical and surgical mutilation of children.” However, some blue states appear keen to continue waging war on America’s youth.

‘1 in every 630 boys in Oregon received cross-sex hormones.’

A new study in the Oxford University Press journal Research Connections provides some idea of the scale of this campaign and just how many victims it has already created in Oregon — a state whose health plan will cover virtually any sex-rejection drug or procedure, no matter how cosmetic, if deemed “medically necessary” by a doctor.

Researchers from Comagine Health, a nonprofit health care consulting firm, used the multi-payer claims database operated by their organization to identify so-called “transgender and gender-diverse” adolescents in the Beaver State, ages 8-17. The data researchers relied on was from 2016 to 2023.

After identifying 8,480 gender-confused adolescents among the 868,740 insured adolescents in the system, the researchers “assessed receipt of puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormone therapies using procedural codes.”

They found in Oregon that:

  • the median age of first gender-dysphoria diagnosis was 14;
  • 1.51% of all covered female patients and 0.46% of all covered male patients ages 8-17 in the seven-year period received gender dysphoria diagnoses;
  • 75.8% of the patients with gender dysphoria diagnoses were female;
  • the median time span from diagnosis to medical interference was 294 days;
  • the median age for initial sex-rejection medical interventions was 15;
  • 23.35% of victims received medical “gender-affirming care”;
  • 19.72% of victims received cross-sex hormones;
  • 8.21% used puberty blockers, drugs that have long been used to chemically castrate sex offenders; and
  • the use of puberty blockers and hormone replacement procedures skyrocketed during the timeframe, especially between 2020 and 2023.

The researchers claimed that “despite growing attention, medical [gender-affirming care] is accessed by only a small proportion of adolescents in the United States.”

Leor Sapir, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, noted in a recent article for the Wall Street Journal that this supposedly “small proportion” is actually tragically high.

Citing the study, Sapir highlighted that “at age 17, roughly 1 in every 240 girls and 1 in every 630 boys in Oregon received cross-sex hormones for ‘gender dysphoria’ between 2016 and 2023. These figures are triple and double the national average for girls and boys, respectively.”

Sapir noted further that cross-sex hormone use among 14- and 15-year-olds in Oregon — the only American state to formally adopt the so-called standards of care issued by the scandal-plagued World Professional Association for Transgender Health — was four to five times the national rate.

In November, the Department of Health and Human Services published an exhaustive peer-reviewed report that stressed that “the harms from sex-rejecting procedures — including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations — are significant, long term, and too often ignored or inadequately tracked.”

The previous year, just months prior to National Health Service England banning puberty blockers at so-called gender-identity clinics, the United Kingdom’s landmark Cass Review revealed that:

  • the “systematic review showed no clear evidence that social transition in childhood has any positive or negative mental health outcomes, and relatively weak evidence for any effect in adolescence”;
  • puberty blockers “exert their intended effect in suppressing puberty,” but compromise bone density and have no apparent impact on “gender dysphoria or body satisfaction”;
  • there is a dearth of consistent evidence about the “effect of puberty suppression on psychological or psychosocial well-being, cognitive development, cardio-metabolic risk or fertility”;
  • there is a lack of high-quality research assessing the outcomes of hormone interventions in adolescents confused about their sex; and
  • the so-called science regarding “gender-affirming care” is “an area of remarkably weak evidence” built on “shaky foundations.”

Despite the mountain of evidence showing that so-called “gender-affirming care” is not only destructive but ineffective in terms of achieving the promoters’ own aims, the Democrats running Oregon show no signs of abandoning their war on young bodies.

For instance, Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek, a self-identified lesbian, ratified new legislation in May aimed at shielding providers of sex-rejection drugs and mutilations from civil lawsuits, professional discipline, and loss of malpractice insurance, as well as at ensuring uninterrupted coverage for Oregon Health Plan patients utilizing Planned Parenthood for “essential health services.”

Kotek did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

The House Oversight Committee has announced plans to investigate the accusations that the American Bar Association has become a progressive weapon of political war.

Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) said a task force investigating them will “analyze how the American Bar Association (ABA) has weaponized its accreditation authority to promote DEI policies that are contrary to federal civil rights law and the negative consequences in the legal profession that result from these harmful policies. Members will also explore how Congress can help permanently eliminate DEI policies within American institutions, including the legal profession and academy.”

Nearly 300,000 North Carolina college-goers have defaulted on their federal student loans, collectively owing $7.8 billion, data analyzed by the Associated Press shows.

About half of those people, owing an average of $26,500, have gone into default just since last September.

Since then, federal policies on student loans have changed and some repayment options are gone or about to go away. At the same time, the number of federal employees working on students loans has been slashed, noted Julia Barnard, a former ombuds for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Record complaints have come in, and many borrowers are being given varying information about how much they actually owe, Barnard told WRAL News.

That, paired with affordability issues more broadly, lead Barnard and other experts to project the numbers will only grow.

“It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better,” Barnard said.

Trump Announces New Canada Tariffs, Threatens More for other Countries

President Donald Trump appears prepared to utilize tariffs as a geopolitical tool once again. He announced a 50% tariff on Canada that came without warning. The administration is also signaling more tariffs on more countries are soon to follow. This could indicate the administration believes it has a legal path to apply tariffs that doesn’t conflict with SCOTUS’ recent ruling on tariffs.

The administration is responding to the retaliatory stance that Canada had retained toward the US:

“At the outset of the president’s trade policy, which he implemented early last year, there were only two countries that retaliated against the United States: the People’s Republic of China and Canada,” an official said. “Canada has retained substantial retaliation against the United States, as the U.S. imposes trade actions to re-industrialize, re-shore, and support its manufacturing. Specifically, Canada has to be held accountable for this continued discrimination,” the official continued (Townhall).

Financial Times: On Monday evening the administration published a list of specific goods that would be subject to the 50 per cent tariff, including milk and dairy products, alcoholic drinks, clothing and furniture…. The Trump administration will base the tariffs on Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which has never been used to impose duties on trading partners. A senior administration official said the law gave the president the authority to impose duties when a country discriminated against the US “relative to the treatment it gives a third country” (Financial Times).

A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order pausing the $110 billion merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery as she considers a ruling on a preliminary Injunction in an antitrust case filed by 12 attorneys general.

The July 20 ruling by U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín of the Northern District of California pauses the deal for 14 days while she considers a preliminary injunction, which would block the merger for the duration of the litigation and impose substantial costs on Paramount.

“My office and attorneys general nationwide have secured an emergency order blocking the unlawful merger of Warner Bros. and Paramount,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is leading a coalition of states seeking to block the deal on antitrust grounds. “This is a critical first win in our case to ensure this megamerger never sees the light of day. …With our lawsuit, we’re fighting for a free and fair market and a thriving film and television industry that serves creatives and audiences alike.”

As previously reported, the case argues that the deal, the largest in Hollywood history, would combine two of Hollywood’s five major film distributors and two of the five major owners of basic cable channels, “inflicting substantial harm on movie theaters, basic cable distributors, and ultimately, audiences nationwide.”

The deal has been approved by the Justice Department and Paramount had been hoping to close it as early as July 22.

EXCERPT:

A growing Democratic Party power struggle is spilling into the open as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) back opposing candidates in Michigan’s closely watched Senate primary.

Warren endorsed far-left Abdul El-Sayed on Monday in the race to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), placing herself directly against Schumer, who is supporting Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI).

The competing endorsements expose the widening divide between the Democrat establishment and the party’s progressive wing, which is attempting to expand its influence in Congress.

Warren Joins Progressive Push for El-Sayed

Warren announced her endorsement just hours after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appeared with El-Sayed at a campaign event.

In a video announcing her support, Warren praised El-Sayed for rejecting corporate campaign contributions.

“The only candidate in this race not taking corporate money, and he’s fighting to get money out of politics altogether,” Warren said.

“And make no mistake,” she continued.

“Abdul is the only candidate in this race who can build the grassroots movement needed to win in November.

“More money in your pocket, to get money out of politics and deliver ‘Medicare-for-all.’

“Michigan, let’s get this done.”

The endorsement marks a shift for Warren, who had previously supported Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow before she withdrew from the race earlier this month.

McMorrow opposed “Medicare-for-all,” a policy Warren has championed for years.

El-Sayed has faced scrutiny over previous social media posts, including calls to “defund the police” by redirecting taxpayer money away from purchasing “war materiel to wage war in our streets.”

Schumer Backs Establishment Candidate

Schumer waited until the Democrat field narrowed before publicly endorsing Stevens, though he had reportedly supported her privately during the crowded primary.

“I think she has the best chance to win,” Schumer told Punchbowl News last month.

Stevens has also received endorsements from Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), and Peters.

El-Sayed’s supporters include Warren, Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA).

Neither Stevens nor El-Sayed has committed to backing Schumer as Democratic leader in the next Congress.

El-Sayed has also said he has not spoken with Schumer during the campaign.

El-Sayed Targets Democratic Establishment

El-Sayed has openly framed his campaign as a direct challenge to the Democratic Party’s existing leadership and fundraising structure.

He told Politico that Schumer and other party leaders oppose his effort to remove corporate money from politics because Schumer’s “whole approach is that you get to go talk to the money people and then dole out their corporate money to help elect the people who are going to do the things that corporations want.”

“So, of course, they’re freaking out,” El-Sayed said.

“They’re not freaking out because they think I’m going to lose.

“They’re freaking out because they think I’m going to win.”

The Michigan contest is not the first Senate race to expose divisions between Warren and Schumer.

Warren previously backed former Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, while Schumer worked behind the scenes to recruit Maine Gov. Janet Mills into that race.

The Michigan primary now represents another major test of whether the Democrat establishment can maintain control over the party’s nominees or whether its increasingly organized progressive wing can displace candidates favored by longtime leaders.

US President Donald Trump is poised to unleash fresh tariffs on dozens of countries as soon as this week, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday (Jul 21), with his temporary 10 per cent global tariff scheduled to expire on Friday.

The FT said the most immediate new duties are expected to be on a par with the 10 per cent tariffs currently in place, but the administration was also working on other investigations that could grant it the legal authority to propose higher duties.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

Canada Goes Historic on Defense

pgnewser July 7, 2026 1

Canada has made the largest military procurement deal in its history, purchasing 12 submarines from Germany in a bid to build their own submarine fleet. The contract is worth “multiple billions” and follows Canada’s increase on defense spending under PM Mark Carney. He hopes to move it from 2% GDP today to 5% GDP by 2035.

Carney said of the deal, “In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada must be prepared to defend our interests, protect our citizens, build our economy, and secure our future. To that end, we are making the largest defence procurement in our nation’s history with speed, ambition, and discipline.”

Canada has chosen a German defence company to build its navy’s new submarine fleet, in the largest military procurement deal in Canadian history.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Monday that the government had chosen the company TKMS as the preferred supplier for the multi-billion dollar, 12-vessel contract.

The announcement comes just before Carney leaves for a Nato summit in Turkey, where members are expect to face pressure to show they are boosting defence investment. Since taking office, Carney has bumped Canada’s defence spending to 2% of GDP, and has committed to reaching 5% by 2035.

According to the government, only one in four of Canada’s submarines is currently seaworthy.

The country – which has the longest coastline in the world – is growing increasingly concerned about climate change warming Arctic waters and opening up new fronts for adversaries to attack.

Walz Pardons Child Rapist

pgnewser July 6, 2026 1

In what appears to be a move to save an illegal alien from deportation, Tim Walz has pardoned an illegal alien convicted of raping a child. He was joined on a three-member pane by Democrats Keith Ellison and Natalie Hudson. Ellison is Minnesota’s Attorney General. Hudson is the state’s Chief Justice.

DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis responded to the decision, claiming “Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.”

How insane are Democrats trying to keep illegal alien criminals in America? Are there any lengths to which they will not go? Have they yet hit rock bottom?  Certainly not in Tampon Tim Walz’s Minnesota:

Author” src=”https://images.americanthinker.com/ub/ubos671zpppgnjp9hung_640.jpg” />

Graphic: X Post

Vang is obviously Walz’s kind of illegal alien, even more so than the rest. Note in the history of the case, Vang said Laotian men routinely “marry” girls as young as 12.  They just repeatedly rape girls as young as 10 to what?  Prepare them for marriage at 12?

The DHS is not amused:

Author” src=”https://images.americanthinker.com/sg/sghdbksogqbmc99ofc51_640.jpg” />

Graphic: X Post

Though Walz bears ultimate responsibility, two others were also responsible for this unpardonable pardon:

 

The pardon came from a three-person panel that included Walz, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), and Minnesota Chief Justice Natalie Hudson. You can’t even pretend that Trump’s immigration policies weren’t a factor because, as the Daily Mail reported, “Ellison also cited President Donald Trump’s expansive use of executive pardon power in his statement defending his pardon of the pedophile.”

 

But why would these leftist idiots want to pardon a man who, over four years, repeatedly raped a 10-year-old girl? He’s also a cheapskate who tried to pay her $10 to shut her up. Apart from a complete lack of morality and betrayal of their duty to keep Minnesotans safe, it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome:

 

DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis laid out exactly what happened here. “Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl,” she said, adding that the pardon wipes his conviction from the record entirely. A DHS spokesperson called Walz “disgusting” for granting the pardon. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went further, calling the move “horrific” in a statement on X.

 

“This evil alien from Laos repeatedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old child,” Mullin said. “These are the illegal alien criminals sanctuary politicians like Tim Walz are protecting over American citizens.”

 

As one would expect, the Minnesota Star Tribune, public-spirited as ever, is solidly behind Walz and his fellow rapist pardoners:

 

Victim’s forgiveness was key in pardon of Tou Lue Vang, Hmong man facing deportation

 

Amazingly, until one realizes this is Minnesota, Vang wasn’t in the Pen. He was serving a 30-year probation. Here’s where it gets even more disgusting, if that were possible:

 

On June 10, the Board of Pardons — consisting of Walz, Ellison and state Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson — voted to purge Vang’s felony sexual assault conviction. The deciding factor was a letter from Vang’s victim saying she forgave him and supported his pardon.

 

The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office, which prosecuted Vang, opposed his pardon. Tami McConkey, director of the office’s Victim, Witness and Postconviction Justice Division, wrote that Vang received a lighter sentence of 30 years probation for the offense because the victim “was experiencing pressure from her family to not cooperate.”

 

But of course! One wonders how much pressure the victim was receiving from Minnesota authorities to provide cover for their flaunting of President Trump and federal immigration law? If you’ve a strong stomach, read Vang’s pardon letter:

Author” src=”https://images.americanthinker.com/af/afq26wdviylbbd3hirrc_640.jpg” />

Graphic: X Post

“Congratulations! You repeatedly raped a little girl, didn’t spend a day in the pen, and now it’s going to be much more difficult to kick you out of the country. Of course, Minnesota really isn’t part of America, so we’ll use every resource of the People’s Republic of Minnesota to fight your deportation

Among the sacraments of the left is the idea that Americans have no moral standing to criticize the cultures of other lands. Who are we to suggest our culture, which doesn’t countenance raping little girls, is superior? Who are we to demand the peoples of cultures at least equally moral, or more so, adopt our cultural practices and obey our colonialist, white supremacist laws?

One wonders how many other little girls Vang might have practiced his superior culture with during those 30 years? One also wonders just how attentive Vang’s probation officers were over that period. I’m sure they were thrilled to learn Vang would be their career.  Even if they tried to do their duty, would their superiors have allowed it? Vang, after all, is a member of a protected, oppressed, victim class, and even more so when immigration law was suddenly enforced.

Ultimately, it shouldn’t matter whether a rape victim, some 30 years later, forgives her rapist. Forgiveness is an admirable quality and arguably good for the soul, but it should have no place in the criminal justice system, which gets every iota of its power on loan from Americans, and whose duty is to protect Americans from child rapists. Americans are kind of funny in expecting that kind of thing.

Yet another predictable example of anti-American hatred from one of America’s most anti-American governors.

Eight Antifa street fighters have been sentenced to a combined 450 years in prison for assaulting an ICE facility. The ringleader of the Democrat-inspired, and potentially funded, insurrectionist attack, Benjamin Song, was sentenced to 100 years. Seven more Antifa street fighters will be sentenced on July 1, 2026.

Headlines from progressive content marketing outlets such as the NY Times and the Washington Post refer to the insurgents as “protestors” with “alleged ties to Antifa.”

It’s not a good day for Antifa!

On Tuesday, members of an Antifa cell that carried out a terror plot against an ICE facility in North Texas on July 4th of last year were brought to justice.

Eight of these Antifa terrorists were sentenced to a combined 450 years in prison.

That’s nearly half a century behind bars — where they belong!

Check out some of their mugshots here:

As you may remember, a law enforcement officer was shot and injured while responding to the attack after the Antifa terror group’s leader, Benjamin Song, opened fire at him.

Out of all the terrorists, Song got the most severe sentence — of 100 years behind bars!

All of those charged so far are now going to spend decades in prison.

Seven additional Antifa terrorists involved in the attack on the ICE facility will be sentenced on July 1st.

A DOJ press release provided a breakdown of the sentences and charges each individual is facing:

Today, the Justice Department announced that eight North Texas Antifa Cell operatives were sentenced for their roles in rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and the attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4, 2025. This is the first sentencing of defendants affiliated with Antifa following President Donald J. Trump’s executive order designating the group as a Domestic Terrorist Organization in September 2025.

Benjamin Hanil Song, who was convicted of the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, was sentenced to 100 years in prison. Together, the Prairieland terrorists received a combined sentence of 450 years in prison:

  • Maricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years in prison;
  • Cameron Arnold was sentenced to 50 years in prison;
  • Savanna Batten was sentenced to 50 years in prison;
  • Zachary Evetts was sentenced to 50 years in prison;

Trump Signs Iran Deal

President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at criticism over the terms of the interim U.S.-Iran peace deal, saying those who think he hasn’t been tough enough on Tehran were either “jealous, bad people or stupid.”

His comments come shortly after the U.S. and Iranian president signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire, including in Lebanon, and reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

The deal sees both sides commit to further talks to reach a final agreement over the next 60 days and includes a $300 billion plan for Iran’s reconstruction as well as the removal of “all types” of U.S. sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

The agreement has prompted some to conclude that the terms appear to have strengthened Tehran’s hand.

“These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are ‘tumbling’ down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid,” Trump said Thursday via his Truth Social platform.

Newsom Becomes Official DOJ Fraud Probe Target

Progressive California Governor Gavin Newsom called news of a DOJ investigation targeting him a political persecution, not a legitimate prosecution. The investigation, however, began under the Biden DOJ, not Trump’s DOJ, and is only now coming to light.

The DOJ is investigating numerous alleged acts of fraud and graft committed by the Governor. Newsom claimed, “Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime – they are simply trying to find one. He isn’t coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.…”

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the left-wing organization known for labeling mainstream conservative groups as “extremists,” is facing explosive new allegations after a federal indictment accused senior officials of funneling millions of dollars to paid informants embedded within white supremacist organizations.

According to a superseding indictment, SPLC officials allegedly directed more than $4 million in tax-exempt donor funds to informants operating inside extremist groups, including one individual who reportedly received more than $1.2 million while maintaining ties to a neo-Nazi organization.

The indictment identifies an individual referred to as “Employee-2,” who is believed to be Heidi Beirich, the former director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project, according to reporting from the New York Post.

Beirich, who led the organization’s intelligence operations from 2012 through 2019, is alleged to have maintained a close relationship with an informant identified only as “F-9,” who infiltrated the white supremacist group National Alliance.

On her way out, Gabbard Exposes U.S. Biolabs

pgnewser June 15, 2026 2

At one point in America, people were losing their careers for declaring Covid-19 was man-made in a Chinese biolab funded by U.S. dollars. Now, a report has come out that exposes U.S. efforts to fund biolabs worldwide. These labs were working on “gain of function” virus research.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard released a comprehensive report exposing a ring of global biolabs funded by the U.S. She announced, “After months of searching through intelligence community holdings and files, today I’m releasing new evidence of long-standing U.S. government funding of more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries…

Now until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from the American people. Many of these U.S.-government funded biolabs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens and, in some cases, included dangerous gain-of-function research with very little visibility or oversight.”

Back in May, then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard launched an investigation into more than 120 biological laboratories abroad that were allegedly funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars, as part of an effort to end potentially risky experiments with viruses pursuant to President Trump’s executive order on so-called “gain-of-function” research.

Gabbard told The Post Monday in a statement that her team is going “to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain and what ‘research’ is being conducted to end dangerous gain-of-function research that threatens the health and wellbeing of the American people and the world.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have,” the spy chief also said.

“Yet despite these obvious dangers, politicians, so-called health professionals, like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of these US-funded and supported biolabs and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth.”

Shortly after, she resigned her position to care for her husband, who was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer.

However, on Friday, she announced the results of that investigation on social media.

“After months of searching through intelligence community holdings and files, today I’m releasing new evidence of long-standing U.S. government funding of more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries.

Now these bio labs include labs in places like Ukraine, which could be at risk for compromise due to the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war. In fact, the Intelligence Community had previously warned that a U.S.-funded biolab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to long-standing threats of Russian attack, seizure or damage.

Now until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from the American people.Many of these U.S.-government funded biolabs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens and, in some cases, included dangerous gain-of-function research with very little visibility or oversight.

Gasflation Kills Fed Cut Hope

pgnewser June 10, 2026 1

Inflation hit a 3-year high primarily due to rising gas prices, which are primarily driven by the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz. The Federal Reserve has already revealed there will be no rate cuts at least until 2027.

No Fed Rate Cuts Anytime Soon | American Enterprise Institute– www.aei.org
News Source
EXCERPT:

Donald Trump has made no secret of his hope for early interest rate cuts from Kevin Warsh, the Federal Reserve’s new head. This sets Mr. Trump up for deep disappointment. It is not only that Mr. Warsh does not have the necessary votes on the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) to cut rates. It is also that Trump’s war of choice in Iran, coupled with his reckless budget and import tariff policies, offer strong arguments against the appropriateness of an interest rate cut at this juncture.

Start with the fact that there are twelve voting members on the FOMC, of whom Mr. Warsh has only one vote. At its last meeting, many FOMC voting members wanted to remove the “easing bias” language in the Fed’s last interest rate decision. Since then, a majority of FOMC participants have indicated that the Fed may need to raise interest rates later this year if inflation does not cool down to the Fed’s 2 percent inflation target. This makes it highly unlikely that, even if he wanted to do Trump’s bidding, Mr. Warsh will be able to convince his fellow FOMC members to cut interest rates until there is clear evidence that inflation is coming down.

The key reason that most FOMC participants think that an interest rate hike might be warranted later this year is that inflation is currently running at 3.8 percent, or at roughly double the Fed’s inflation target. At the same time, unemployment, at 4.3 percent, remains close to its historically low level. One important factor driving inflation higher has been the spike in gasoline prices from less than $3 a gallon at the start of the Iran war to their current level of around $4.25 a gallon. Other factors have been the hike in import tariffs to their highest level in the past one hundred years and Trump’s large unfunded tax cuts in his One Big Beautiful Bill Act. According to the Congressional Budget Office, those tax cuts will keep the budget deficit at over 6 percent of GDP as far as the eye can see. They will also soon raise the public debt level, in relation to the size of the economy, to its highest level since the end of the Second World War.

WASHINGTON — Spiking gas prices pushed inflation to its highest level in three years last month, a headache for the Federal Reserve and a potential political challenge for the Trump administration as midterm elections near.

Consumer prices rose 4.2% in May from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Wednesday, up from 3.8% in April and the third straight increase. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.5% last month, after big gains of 0.6% in April and 0.9% in March.

Rising inflation has soured many Americans on the economy, as the cost of gas, groceries, and other necessities hammer many Americans financially.

Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 2.9% in March from a year earlier, up from 2.8% in April. On a monthly basis, core prices increased a modest 0.2%.
