Trump Hits Record GOP Approval Into Second Term trendingpoliticsnews.com

EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump continues to command historically strong support within the Republican Party as he settles into his second term, according to new polling highlighted by CNN data analyst Harry Enten.

During Wednesday’s segment, Enten pointed to Trump’s standing among Republican voters compared to other presidents this century, arguing that no modern president has maintained stronger approval from members of his own party at this stage of a second term.

“Trump is still very popular with Republicans,” Enten said while presenting the data. “Just take a look here. Twenty-first century own-party approval rating about at this point in the second term. We’ve got Trump, we’ve got Obama, we’ve got Bush.”

Although all three presidents enjoyed strong backing from their respective parties, Enten noted that Trump’s numbers stand apart.

“They’re all fairly popular, but the one who is the most popular, and we have seen this time and time out, no matter when you look, is Donald John Trump,” Enten said. “He’s the only one who’s over 80%.”

German Nuclear Fuel Plant Cleared to Work With Russia’s Rosatom www.themoscowtimes.com

EXCERPT:

Germany on Wednesday approved an application by French firm Framatome to produce nuclear fuel rods under a licensing agreement with state-backed Russian firms despite political concerns, arguing it lacked the legal basis for a rejection.

A Framatome subsidiary had applied to produce at its plant in northern Germany fuel elements to supply nuclear plants in the eastern European market using Russian licenses and technology in a joint venture with Russian firms TVEL/Rosatom.

Despite political concerns due to Russia’s war in Ukraine, the environment ministry in the state of Lower Saxony with guidance from the federal environment ministry granted the necessary approval subject to certain conditions.

A spokesperson for the federal ministry said that while the government in Berlin has a critical view of the cooperation with a Russian state-owned company, the decision was made in accordance with the relevant nuclear laws of Germany.

“The appropriate instrument to address this, however, is not nuclear law, but rather EU-wide sanctions, including those in the nuclear sector,” the ministry said in a statement.

EXCERPT:

Before the Red Sea flare-up, Trump vowed on Wednesday to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant every time Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s joint military command in turn warned that if Trump’s threat against infrastructure was carried out, Iranian forces would target regional oil, gas, electricity and economic infrastructure and prevent the export of “even a single drop of oil”, Iranian state media reported.

Hours later, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards reported an explosion in what it called a mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz, saying one of three oil tankers had caught fire while the other two turned back. The Guards said the strait was under their control and “completely closed”, warning that no tanker would be allowed to enter or leave without coordination with Iran.

In 12 straight days of attacks since a June ceasefire fell apart, American strikes have widened from the south to western and central areas of Iran. The US military’s Central Command said it would continue to “further degrade” Iran’s ability to threaten ship traffic.

Leo XIV Approves Another Communist Bishop & the “Queer Jesus” University Medal www.lifesitenews.com

EXCERPT:

Pope Leo XIV is set to present a sustainability medal at Villanova University, his alma mater, which has hosted performances of The Vagina Monologues, promoted LGBT events, and implemented gender-inclusive policies. The Pope has approved another bishop under the Vatican’s deal with China, a policy critics say has accelerated the persecution of the underground Church. The pattern is clear: the Vatican is rewarding institutions that promote gender ideology and regimes that suppress the faith.

We take a look at the growing divide: bishops who defend the Traditional Latin Mass face restrictions, while universities that promote “Queer Jesus” theology receive papal recognition. Cardinals Sarah and Burke have called for broader access to the Latin Mass, but their voices are increasingly marginalized. The faithful are watching. The hierarchy is silent. And the Pope is sending mixed signals that leave everyone confused.

This is not a series of isolated incidents, it is a direction. A direction away from tradition, away from clarity, and away from the Catholic faith as it has always been understood. The question is whether anyone in Rome will notice before it is too late.

Trump DOJ charges ‘woke’ college student for faking racist bomb threats www.lifesitenews.com

EXCERPT:

(LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges for a self-described, “100% woke” social justice activist it says is responsible for a series of hoax hate crimes and bomb threats at San Jose State University (SJSU).

According to the DOJ, since October 2024, SJSU campus police have documented more than 20 “hateful and threatening messages” left in campus restrooms, many of which detailing violent attacks supposedly to happen on specific dates.

Two such messages, discovered in November 2025, declared, “!WARNING! MASS BOMB NEXT WEEK” on a paper with drawings of swastikas and declarations such as “THIS IS A WHITE NATION” and “MAGA 2028,” indicating an intention to be perceived as the work of a Donald Trump supporter. Another message accompanying it declared, “Kill all Jews, Muslims, Chinks, and Mexicans.”

The message was found to bear the fingerprints of 30-year-old Ziheng “Tony” Fang, a SJSU grad student pursuing a master’s in data science. The College Fix reported that, rather than being MAGA, Fang identifies himself on various social media accounts as “100% woke,” a “social justice activist.” According to federal prosecutors, he “also includes a rainbow flag in his profile on Threads” and “has posted and/or shared content expressing anti-ICE, pro-immigration, anti-MAGA, and pro-Palestine views.”

Fang is being charged “with a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1038(a)(1) – False Information and Hoaxes,” which is punishable by fines and/or up to five years in jail, unless serious bodily injury results, in which case a violator would face up to 20 years. No such injury is alleged in this case; students and staff were notified of individual threats, and professors decided whether to cancel classes or hold them virtually on a case-by-case basis.

Leftist Joshua Kerry Appears in Court, Charged With Anne Widdecombe’s Murder www.lifenews.com

EXCERPT:

Joshua Kerry, a 28-year-old man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, appeared Tuesday in Westminster Magistrates’ Court charged with the murder of longtime pro-life advocate Ann Widdecombe.

Kerry faces one count of murder in connection with the death of the 78-year-old former pro-life Conservative MP and Reform UK spokeswoman. Her body was discovered at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, Devon, on July 9.

Police believe the attack occurred around 12:30 p.m. the previous day.

Widdecombe, a devout Catholic, spent more than 40 years as a champion of the pro-life cause. She was elected to Parliament in 1987 and served in ministerial roles, including at the Home Office. She later represented the Brexit Party in the European Parliament before becoming a prominent voice for Reform UK.

Throughout her career, she consistently voted for greater protections for unborn children, opposed the legalization of assisted suicide, and argued against measures that would erode abortion limits, citing medical advances that allow earlier viability.

Abortion Drug Dealer Hub Referred To DOJ For Investigation thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is asking the Trump Administration’s legal enforcement arm to formally investigate abortion drug dealer marketplace Plan C for flouting the law by advertising the shipment of mifepristone to states where it is banned.

Hawley previously introduced legislation to ban the popular and dangerous abortion drug and give survivors a legal remedy against foreign abortion pill makers. Successfully curbing the illicit shipping of those pills into states where they are banned requires more, including intervention from the Department of Justice in the form of a criminal investigation, he wrote in a criminal referral on Monday.

“At the center of the effort is an entity called Plan C, a left-wing dark-money operation that styles itself a ‘public health information campaign’ but functions, in practice, as the referral and logistics hub for shipping abortion drugs into states whose laws prohibit it,” Hawley wrote in his letter to Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche.

More than a dozen states ban mifepristone for chemical abortions. Yet, websites like Plan C enable anyone with Internet access, even people in pro-life states, to order abortion pills to their door in less than a minute.

New York Politician Slams the DSA As a White Supremacist Movement townhall.com

EXCERPT:

If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice that a vast majority of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members are lily-white and insanely rich. With that privilege, they’ve decided their moral and political obligation is to destroy the economic structure and nation that made them spoiled brats

This includes a majority-white crowd chanting ‘You’re next’ to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The optics of that are bad enough, but the DSA doesn’t seem to care. The destruction of the Democratic Party, and America, is the point.

But one New York politician is calling a spade a spade and he just blasted the DSA as a bunch of white supremacists. That’s Queens Borough President Donovan Richards

Here’s more:

A prominent black Big Apple politician compared Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s comrades in the Democratic Socialists of America to white supremacists as a bitter rift between Democrats spilled onto social media.

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards breathed new life into a longstanding complaint among minority lawmakers that the largely lily-white DSA ignores race in its crusade to grow its ranks and dismantle capitalism.

Prosecutor Kashif Malik told the court that Kerry drove to Widdecombe’s isolated home while she was eating lunch, repeatedly beat her with a hammer and then took her wallet before leaving.

New Poll Suggests Midterms May Not Be Quite the Slam Dunk Democrats Expect legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:

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.

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.
