NETANYAHU: WE HAVE INDIA, WE DONT NEED USA
Netanyahu says in an interview with Fox that JD Vance is wrong that they only have one powerful ally left in the US. He says that India has 1.4 billion people and they love Israel and his comments on social media are flooded with pro-Israel Indians.

Liberals upset that DC Reflecting Pool now actually...
reflects.

Its gonna look much better when it gets full but you can already tell Trump did good. Many pictures have shown how green dirty and littered in it was prior to Trump. Dems said the cost to fix it was astronomical and Trump did it cheaply(er).

Watch and see how DC will again become a booming tourist attraction from neighboring states. I'm always confused how they just don't say "it looks good but I don't like Trump!" instead they have to do some mental acrobatics to negate or justify it (all trumps policies).

Where are the "Iran is not Iraq, the US will get beat"
So what happened with that? Saying they had all this tech, the ability to take out our aircraft carriers. Saying they had all these Chinese and Russian tech that would put us in our place. How they could take us out at any moment but their own restraint is why they haven't. Now they just lost their head leader and dozens of top officials. Basically, the US and Israel just went in and all they could do is throw a temper tantrum.

Boosie Badazz is suing saying he paid $600K for a pardon and never got one.
https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/13/boosie-badazz-sues-over-trump-pardon-deal/




Boosie Badazz says he paid big money for a presidential pardon ... but now he's claiming all he got was a massive bill and an empty promise ... and he wants a big refund.According to a bombshell NOTUS report, the rapper is taking legal action against political operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman after allegedly shelling out $600,000 to help secure a pardon from


President Trump -- one Boosie says never came. The report says Boosie -- whose legal name is Torence Hatch -- struck a deal with the pair last fall after they pitched themselves as having major pull inside Trump's orbit. Boosie claims they were so confident, they acted like they had POTUS "on speed dial."Things allegedly escalated on New Year's Day ... when Boosie's lawyer got a call claiming Trump had already signed the pardon and the White House just hadn't announced it yet. But according to the report, the pardon never surfaced ... and Boosie is now trying to recover $300,000 under a clause in the contract requiring half the fee be refunded if no pardon was delivered.

Texas Hispanics swung hard to Trump. A new poll shows they’re furious at his deportations.
Melendez is not alone. One in five Hispanic business owners in Texas say they’ve had an employee deported in the past year, according to a new survey commissioned by the U.S. Hispanic Business Council and shared first with POLITICO. Seven in ten said their businesses had been impacted by Trump’s tariffs. Among those surveyed,

Talarico holds a seven-point lead over Attorney General Ken Paxton, the GOP nominee, even though a plurality of the over 1,000 respondents self-identify as Republican.

Almost one quarter who supported Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican primary now say they’ll back Talarico, while over half say they’ll back Paxton.

The survey is the clearest sign yet of Paxton’s vulnerability among Texas’ robust Hispanic business community amidst broader signs that Hispanic voters around the country are swinging hard against him, thanks to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the shaky economy.

The survey was conducted from June 2 to 15 and included 1,012 Texas-based USHBC members. Respondents included business owners in construction, food services, retail, manufacturing and other industries.

Those business owners pointed to the fear the deportation push created in the community, as well as their bottom lines, for why they were turning on Trump and toward

Talarico.“The fear factor that it creates, the disruption that it creates, the environment that it creates, is debilitating,” said Javier Palomarez, president and CEO of USHBC. “If you’ve got a small business of 10 people or so, and you get even one person deported, you can imagine what that does to the morale of that business unit and to the fear of the business owner.


”Meanwhile, Paxton, long an immigration hardliner, has doubled down, touting his support for a controversial Texas immigration law and suing to stop publicly funded legal defense for undocumented immigrants.The Texas Senate race will be one of the nation’s most watched — and most expensive — this cycle. Early polling shows it in a dead heat: A New York Times/Siena poll released last month showed Paxton and Talarico tied. Among Hispanic voters, Talarico led by 32 points. In 2024, Trump won Texas Latinos by 10 points.In a statement, Paxton spokesperson Madison Cercy said Hispanic voters want “lower taxes, less regulation, affordable energy, and a strong economy.

Tillis: SAVE America Act is ‘dead’ as time has run out to implement new voting rules
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) says the SAVE America Act, President Trump’s No. 1 legislative priority, is “dead” on Capitol Hill because there is not enough time to change election laws before the midterms — even if Senate Republicans muster 60 votes for the legislation, which is unlikely.

“Unless they do the work to get to the 60 votes, they know it’s dead, and so all this is theater,” Tillis told The News & Observer, repeating arguments he has made in Washington calling on GOP colleagues to move on to other priorities.

The North Carolina Republican continued, saying even if the election reform bill passes, there is no chance it is implemented before the Nov. 3 general election. The legislation — titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act — would require proof of citizenship for people registering to vote and for voters to show photo IDs to cast ballots.

The senator, who is not running for reelection, noted that it took his state a full year to implement voter ID requirements

.“Honestly, here in North Carolina, or in virtually any state, the ability, if we go back to when we implemented voter ID in North Carolina, it took a year to get everything in place with adequate funding,” he said.

Tillis also pointed out the lack of adequate funding or clear instructions on how to implement such a law in all 50 states before Election Day.

“Let’s assume you only allow early voting in the month of October,” he said. “Then do you honestly believe that we can have this thing up in 50 states? There’s no funding. There’s no specific implementation instructions.

U.S. Treasury has borrowed $155 billion every month of this fiscal year
U.S. Treasury has borrowed $155 billion every month of this fiscal year—and is now paying $24 billion a week in interest on its debtsDespite concerns from debt hawks, the U.S. government is continuing to borrow at pace: For the fiscal year of 2026 so far, the federal deficit has totaled just under $1.4 trillion.

The first nine months of this fiscal year (beginning in October) have now surpassed the borrowing levels of 2025, when deficits totaled just over $1.3 trillion for the same period.

At the time of writing, the total U.S. national debt sits at $39.4 trillion, accumulated under administrations led by both Republicans and Democrats.

As such, the monthly borrowing for 2026 now sits at roughly $155 billion, or $39 billion per week. And, like any borrower, that debt carries an interest cost. The latest monthly budget review from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms that net interest on public debt for the fiscal year has hit $857 billion: roughly $23.8 billion a week.

This is approximately $100 billion more (13%) than the interest paid out in the first nine months of 2025, the CBO adds, owing to a higher total debt burden than last year and higher long-term interest rates.

In fact, interest payments on the debt are now $20 billion larger than the outlays for the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Homeland Security, Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Small Business Administration, and the U.S. Coronavirus Refundable Credits scheme—combined.

Queers for Palestine meet Reality
A Mediterranean cruise ship carrying about 2,000 passengers, mainly homosexual men, on an LGBTQ-themed voyage has become an international story after being denied entry by two Muslim-majority states, Türkiye and Egypt, in the span of just a few days. The Scarlet Lady had been scheduled to visit Kuşadası and Istanbul on 7 July, before Turkish authorities said the trip conflicted with local ‘moral values’, ‘family values’, and social norms. After an unsuccessful appeal, the ship was rerouted towards Alexandria.
