#10 FBI Gives Congress Intel on Alleged Chinese Plot to Create Fake Mail-in Ballots in 2020 - John Solomon Just the News, General Mike Flynn, Twitchy Team, Tony Seruga, Matthew J. Peterson, Bill Gertz, and Patri0tsareinContr0l on X
FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Democrat Joe Biden. The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News. The new documents were turned over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had first raised concerns to the bureau that the intelligence hadn’t been fully vetted, and instead was just dismissed, even though there was evidence of the fake licenses.
#9 Intense Israeli Strikes Hit Tehran After Trump Demands ‘Unconditional Surrender’ - AP News, Donald J. Trump, Charles Mayne, Gunther Eagleman, Rita Panahi, Insurrection Barbie, Brigitte Gabriel, Good Lawgic,
Intense Israeli airstrikes targeted Iran’s capital early Wednesday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump demanded “unconditional surrender.” As the U.S. sent warplanes to the Middle East, Trump made a series of statements about the conflict, including warning Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that the U.S. knows where he is hiding but that there were no plans to kill him “at least not for now.”His statements fueled confusion about the U.S.'s role in the conflict as Tehran residents flee their homes on the sixth day of Israel’s air campaign aimed at Iran’s military and nuclear program. Israel asserts its sweeping assault is necessary to prevent Iran from getting any closer to building an atomic weapon. The strikes have killed at least 224 people in Iran. Iran has retaliated by launching some 400 missiles and hundreds of drones at Israel. So far, 24 people have been killed in Israel...
#8 Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz Get In Heated Back and Forth Over Iran - Sarah Fortinsky for The Hill, Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz, Acyn,
Tucker Carlson and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) got into a fiery exchange on Tuesday over the senator’s support for President Trump and his posturing toward Israel in its escalating conflict with Iran. The conservative media personality on Tuesday released a clip from the interview — set to be released in full on Wednesday — in which he grills Cruz on details about Iran and its demographic makeup. When Cruz does not know the answers Carlson is seeking, the host blasts the senator for failing to know the details of “the country you seek to topple.”
#7 Trump’s Feud With Tucker Carlson Has Launched a MAGA Civil War - Malcolm Ferguson for TNR, Han Shawnity, Cal, Film Ladd, Candace Owens, AF Post, Paul A. Szypula, and Vintage Country Music on X
Trump hit back at Tucker Carlson after the former Fox News host stated that America’s involvement in Israel’s war on Iran will result in the “end of American empire,” suggesting that the move was directly opposed to Trump’s “America First” rhetoric. “I am saying this because I’m really afraid that my country’s gonna be weakened by this, I think we’re gonna see the end of American empire. Obviously, nations would like to see that, and this is the perfect way to scuttle the USS America on the shores of Iran. But it’s also going to end, I believe, Trump’s presidency,” Carlson said in an interview with MAGA muse Steve Bannon. “The second you get enmeshed in a real war, not a fake, ‘Let's go bomb the villagers and declare success’ … it’s a whole other question, which is, ‘How prepared is the U.S. military for real conflict?’ And the answer is totally unprepared, scary unprepared.”
#6 Pentagon Officer Removed Over Anti-Israel Posts, Internal Probe Launched - Gizem Nisa Demir for AA, Truth Riot, Wolf Shield/AF Post, Globe Eye News/Ali Shabaz Chaudry, and EOC News on X
The Pentagon has removed a senior officer from his post and launched an internal probe following the emergence of inflammatory social media posts criticizing Israel and US policy in the Middle East. Col. Nathan McCormack, who had been serving as the Levant and Egypt branch chief within the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 strategic planning directorate, is at the center of the controversy. The move came shortly after the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported Tuesday on a semi-anonymous X account allegedly linked to McCormack, which included remarks describing Israel as “our worst ‘ally’.” A Pentagon official told JNS, “He will no longer be on the joint staff while the matter is being investigated,” adding that the Defense Department is assigning an investigating officer to examine the content and its implications. “The individual is being returned to his service while the matter is being investigated.” First reported by JNS and further detailed by Middle East Eye, the posts, which have since been archived, also included criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...
#5 God Spared You for This Moment, Israel Ambassador Tells Trump - Reagan Roy for AP/CBS 19, Benny Johnson, The White House, Ambassador Mike Huckabee, Oden, John in the Woods, and 0Hour on X
As the Iran-Israel conflict rages on, the White House has released a text message sent from Mike Huckabee, Ambassador to Israel, to President Donald Trump. The text reads: Mr. President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you, Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you, but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven, and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s...
#4 NYC Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander Arrested by DHS Agents, Released Hours Later After Alleged Officer Assault - Alexandra Koch for Fox News, Mike Davis/Brad Lander (Wife), Jeff Mead, Dapper Detective, Danielle D'Souza Gill, Terrence K. Williams, and Libs of TikTok on X
New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents on Tuesday after allegedly assaulting a federal officer. Hours later, Lander walked out of the federal courthouse where he was being held alongside New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. During a news conference outside the courthouse, Hochul said that charges against Lander had been dropped, though the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said it is "continuing to investigate" Lander's actions. "The safety and security of official proceedings, government officials, law enforcement officers, and all members of the public who participate in them is a core focus of our Office," said Nick Biase, chief of public affairs for the U.S. Attorney's Office. "The Department of Justice will prosecute violations of federal law."
#3 Some Clear Thinking on Why World War III Is Not Happening Anytime Soon - James Hickman Schiff Sovereign, The Doctor, Catturd, Gator Gar, MAZE, Gretchen Smith, and Amber Smith/Daily Mail US on X
Today’s topic is so far-reaching, deep, and important that we had to dedicate an entire podcast episode to it. Frankly, it is one of the most interesting we have ever done. With so much conflict in the world—and the potential for even more escalation, particularly in the Middle East—we have heard a lot of worry, concern, and even hyperbole in the media about “World War III.” I actually have the opposite view: that after the recent strikes and counter-strikes between Israel and Iran, I wholeheartedly believe that World War III is far less likely than it was even just a couple of months ago. Read that again: in the wake of growing conflict in the Middle East, and even with the potential for US involvement, World War III is less likely. In today’s podcast, I put on my old hat as an Army intelligence officer and discuss the Iranian order of battle, their weapons and defense systems, much of which, frankly, is derived from Chinese military technology...
#2 First Meeting June 25: A Closer Look at the New ACIP Panel - Tracy Beanz & Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, Dutch Rojas, Children's Health Defense, Mary Talley Bowden MD, and Mary S. Holland, Esq. on X
On Monday, June 9, 2025, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired all 17 sitting members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP). As a component of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the ACIP is comprised of medical and public health experts who evaluate the safety, efficacy, and clinical need of the nation’s vaccines and pass their findings on to the CDC. ACIP’s findings then serve as public health guidance for the “safe use of vaccines and related biological products.” OK. A group of medical and public health experts reviewing data and delivering advice on vaccinations for every man, woman, and child living in the United States certainly sounds like a solid plan. Except there’s one massive problem, as clarified by Sec. Kennedy in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Kennedy fearlessly said the quiet part out loud, declaring...#1 Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Immigrants Need to Act Responsibly, ‘Behave’ Like Guests - Hanna Panreck for Fox News, Benny Johnson, Brandon Tatum, Common Cent$, The Vigilant Fox, and The New York Post on X
Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger touted the "responsibility" immigrants have when they come to America during an interview Tuesday on "The View," encouraging them to do things legally and behave like guests in the U.S. "I just think the world of the great history that we have with immigrants in America, but the key thing also is at the same time, that we've got to do things legal," he said. "That is the most important thing. You've got to do things legal, and those people that are doing illegal things in America, and they’re the foreigners, they are not smart, because, when you come to America, you’re a guest, and you have to behave like a guest, like when I go to someone’s house, and I’m a guest, then I will do everything I can, keep things clean and to make my bed and to do everything that is the right thing to do rather than committing a crime, or being abusive or something like that, so that doesn’t really work in this country," Schwarzenegger said...
