[[[ The definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results." During today's first segment on 'Fox and Friends' when giving updates on Iran also mentioned was that Trump is still negotiating and hoping for a deal with Iran. Need I say more...sigh. ]]]

Trump Vindicated: Herridge Reveals CCP Stole 220M Voter Records While Intel Officials Buried the Truth

Rusty Weiss / RedState 

 

Newly available declassified documents and recent statements from President Trump are shining a light on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) theft of personal data belonging to a staggering 220 million American voters. 

According to investigative journalist Catherine Herridge, that massive haul—which can be combined with other hacked records such as 2015 security clearance applications and health data—creates serious risks for voter registration fraud, identity theft, and espionage recruitment.

The reporting paints a picture of a massive national security failure compounded by politicized intelligence.

The President, as reported by RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar, announced "the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure," during a primetime address to the nation on Thursday. Read mo9re, seeXs anhd videos here.

Marco Rubio Just Exposed and Obliterated the Left With This Speech

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet 

 

Dmitri covered a part of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks about communism during his 20-minute speech at the opening of the Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism. The section on leftist violence was excellent, and the speech was outstanding overall. It offered another perspective on Mr. Rubio's potential presidential ambitions. He wasn’t ready in 2016, obviously. I think he’s ready now.

[[[  You know how all the 'Trump can do no wrong' sorts complain that NO president had done anything regarding Iran until he now took office...well the fact is Trump was first elected in 2016 and he did NOTHING about Iran then as well. I can't wait to hear the 'sorts' excuses/justification for that!  ]]]

US intensifies strikes on Iran, disables ship to enforce blockade

The U.S. expanded its campaign of missile strikes into northern Iran on Thursday as President Donald Trump maintained his threat to target the country's power plants and bridges. Iran has threatened in turn to target the energy infrastructure of neighboring countries.

Posted by Anders Hagstrom / Fox News  

WHAT TO KNOW

• Iran's military has threatened to target infrastructure across the Middle East if the U.S. starts hitting Tehran's power plants and bridges.

• President Donald Trump says the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has lost up to 90% of its weapons capabilities due to U.S. strikes.

• Iran released a U.S. citizen who had been held captive since 2024 on espionage charges. Trump says Tehran made the move as a "gesture of good will."

• Trump has ordered the U.S. Navy to continue its blockade of Iranian ports, and U.S. forces disabled at least one vessel attempting to run the blockade this week. Read more LIVE UPDATES here.

John Thune tells The Post about potential breakthrough on SAVE America Act — led by Lindsey Graham

Ryan King and Josh Christenson / NEW YORK POST

 

WASHINGTON — Trump claimed on “Meet the Press” on Sunday that Republicans have repeatedly tried to jam the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote and other election reforms, through the Senate, but have consistently failed due to a Democratic filibuster. The SAVE America Act is Trump’s top legislative priority this year.

“Perhaps what Lindsey was talking to the president about — I don’t know this for a fact — [was] whether or not there was an option for reconciliation, and there is a way in which I think you could [do that],” Thune (R-SD) explained to The Post in an interview.

Thune stressed that Republicans don’t even have “close” to the votes needed to nuke the filibuster, which requires a 60-vote threshold to overcome. And he contended there was no way of getting Democrats on board.

In the past, Republicans have skirted around the filibuster using the budget reconciliation process, which is subject to complex rules and must impact the budget, to pass legislation such as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
