(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) After days of gridlock and backroom wrangling, the Senate passed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” the legislative linchpin of his second-term agenda. The tally was 51 yeas and 50 nays, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote.
The Senate’s been locked in a “vote-a-rama”—a procedural endurance test where senators burn the midnight oil, lobbing amendment after amendment in a desperate bid to tweak, torpedo, or salvage the bill. Continue reading
(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran have agreed upon a cease-fire, ending the current phase of conflict between them in less than two weeks, though the overall war between them has been going on for many years.
Trump posted on Truth Social, “CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.” Continue reading
(Breitbart) President Donald Trump announced Saturday evening that the U.S. had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, and that he would be addressing the nation at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time. He called on Iran to seek peace.
On Thursday, the White House said that Trump had decided to give Iran another two weeks to negotiate, in which he expected Iran to agree to give up its nuclear enrichment program in exchange for an end to the war.
The U.S. had not been directly involved in Israel’s war effort until Saturday, but had sold arms to Israel, had likely shared intelligence with Israel, and had moved strategic naval and air assets closer to the Middle East. Continue reading
“I know nothing about VPNs but I can wholeheartedly recommend regularly changing passwords and using a password manager.”
(Mary Dowling) With all the news that’s ongoing, people might have missed a huge story. Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered what they are calling the ‘mother of all breaches’ – 30 databases with a collection of 16 billion individual records, for government accounts, Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegraph plus other websites. https://www.rhizomemediagroup.com/
This morning Aflac notified the public of an enormous breach. The Independent Reports:
(Protestia) Pastor Austin Duncan of Grace Community Church read a letter from John MacArthur during their recent Sunday service, relaying his desire to return to the church once he regains his strength, while also warning the church needs to enact major budge cuts.
MacArthur, 85, has been away from the pulpit for the better part of a year, battling a series of health issues, setbacks, and complications stemming from multiple heart surgeries he had in the back half of 2024. Continue reading
(Protestia) Prominent PCA pastor Burk Parsons has been indefinitely suspended from the pulpit after being found guilty of unbecoming pastoral conduct by the PCA’s Central Florida Presbytery.
Parsons is the senior pastor of Saint Andrew’s Chapel, a prominent PCA congregation in Sanford, Florida, as well as the chief publishing officer for Ligonier Ministries, editor of Tabletalk magazine, and a Ligonier Ministries teaching fellow. Months ago, he was brought up on charges related to his personal conduct and temperament. Continue reading
“President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.”
(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Israel has reportedly bombed the capital of Iran in a preemptive strike against the Islamic regime that has vowed to wipe Israel off the map.
The Israeli Air Force launched its attack late Thursday on Iran’s nuclear program, according to The Times of Israel…. Continue reading
(Mary Dowling) President Trump’s senior White House aide, Stephen Miller, corrected the record on a number of issues relating to the Big, Beautiful Bill. Some of the potentially erroneous claims come from the House, others from the Senate.
The bottom line is the bill slashes $1.6 trillion, strengthens the border, cuts welfare abuse, and protects tax relief for working Americans.
There is a lot of criticism over not codifying the DOGE cuts in this bill…. Continue reading
(Mary Dowling) President Donald Trump has warned Apple that it will be hit with a 25% tariff if it does not start producing iPhones in the U.S.
In a post on his Truth Social platform Friday morning, Trump wrote he had “long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else.”
“If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S.” Trump said. Continue reading
(Stephen Green – PJ Media) FBI director Kash Patel told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo Sunday night that he reviewed the entire Jeffrey Epstein case file and concluded that the notorious sex trafficker “killed himself” and that “there’s no evidence in the case file suggesting otherwise.”
“As someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who’s been in that prison system, who’s been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was,” Patel said to Bartiromo. Continue reading
(Jeff Charles – Townhall) The US Supreme Court has lifted an injunction against its effort to revoke legal status for over 500,000 migrants who were part of the Biden-era CHNV program.
This ruling is another victory for the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only judge to dissent.
The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration (8-1 with Jackson dissenting) to stay an injunction from the lower court blocking the March cancellation of parole for migrants under the Biden administration’s CHNV program. Continue reading
“Along with emailing Protestia under a pseudonym requesting that we look into some issues relating to John MacArthur and The Master’s Seminary, The Roys Report has revealed that he also contacted them under the name “Tom Smith” with allegations of financial misconduct potentially totaling $1.1M.”
(Protestia) Former G3 President and disqualified elder of Pray Mills Baptist Church, Josh Buice, sent an anonymous tip to news organization The Roys Report, accusing Voddie Baucham of using a ghostwriter to write his book ‘Fault Lines’ and misappropriating over a million dollars in GoFundMe donations. Continue reading
“The outlet’s release of the audio comes after the Biden administration refused to release the recordings of Biden’s interview with Hur. As Breitbart News previously reported, in May 2024, Biden invoked executive privilege to block a subpoena from House Republicans seeking to obtain audio recordings of his interview with Hur.”
(Elizabeth Weibel – Breitbart) Newly released audio from Axios reveals that former President Joe Biden struggled with his memory during an interview with then-special counsel Robert Hur. Continue reading
“We want to clarify the reason for canceling the conference. While the conference and ministry could continue without Josh’s leadership, we chose to cancel this year’s event primarily because several of the scheduled speakers had been sinfully targeted by him through anonymous accounts.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Josh Buice founded G3 Ministries, which truly became bigger than himself. G3 Ministries was an up-and-coming alternative to The Gospel Coalition, Desiring God, and 9 Marks. But this week, Josh Buice, its founder, was ousted over the use of burner accounts that attacked his coelders and G3 speakers. In short, not only did Josh Buice use burner accounts to slander his enemies, but also his allies. Continue reading
UPDATE: Below is Founders’ Ministries statement regarding Josh Buice, plus Jon Harris’s podcast where he discusses the recent revelations:
“These actions were not only sinful in nature but deeply divisive, causing unnecessary suspicion and strife within the body of Christ…”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) G3 Ministries is a large platform, founded by Josh Buice, built to equip churches in ways that institutions like The Gospel Coalition have failed. G3 is theologically similar to John MacArthur. The last two years have been detrimental to the reputation of G3 as they engaged in bad-faith campaigns with ministry rivals. In 2023, Josh Buice, Scott Aniol, and Owen Strachan peddled James Lindsay talking points to attack Christian Nationalism. The result of the ensuing discourse led to Michael O’Fallon being removed by the G3 board. Continue reading
I looked at the monkey studies. And when they gave the vaccine to monkeys, to macaques, and then they exposed them to wild virus, the vaccinated monkeys had the same amount of viral concentration in their nasal pharynx as the unvaccinated monkeys. And right then, I said, “Game over.”
(Mary Dowling) Human Perspectives posted the clip below on X, and it’s a good reminder that what we can’t believe is happening is happening. They really did lie over and over about the vaccine preventing transmission, and they knew they were lying. In our heart of hearts, we all know they were lying. Continue reading
“I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’s POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World,” Trump continued. “Our country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before.
(Elizabeth Weibel – Breitbart) President Donald Trump revealed that he would be signing an executive order on Monday reducing the cost of prescription and pharmaceutical drugs by 30 to 80 percent. Continue reading

(Simon Kent – Breitbart) The Pentagon is taking upwards of 1,000 military personnel who openly self-identify as transgender out of immediate service.
The separation began Thursday at the same time those who have yet to step forward as transgender have been granted 30 days to depart of their own volition. Continue reading
“The new Pope Leo XIV is obviously the first pope from the United States.”
(Breitbart) White smoke was seen from the Vatican at approximately 6:08 p.m. Rome time, signaling that the Cardinals have elected a new pope of the Catholic Church. The chiming of the Vatican’s church bells confirmed for the faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square that a new successor to the See of St. Peter the Apostle has indeed been chosen. The world now waits for the Cardinals to announce who the new pope is and what name he has chosen to be known by. Continue reading
(Protestia) On Saturday, more than 7,500 individuals were baptized along the shores of Huntington Beach in a historic event dubbed “Baptize California.” Attracting over 30,000 attendees, organizers hailed it as the “largest water baptism in American history”
Organized by Oceans Church under the leadership of Pastor Mark Francey, the event united nearly 300 congregations, including prominent churches like Saddleback Church, Sandals Church, Zoe Church, Restoration Life Church, and Higher Visions Church…. Continue reading
(Bob Hogue – RedState) In March, FBI Director Kash Patel made a major move regarding the 2017 congressional baseball practice shooting and provided the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence all the documents they had requested regarding the incident. In a joint statement, the Judiciary, Intelligence, and Oversight committees issued a scathing joint report Tuesday alleging that the FBI bungled their investigation and tried to cover up the political motivations of the shooter:
The FBI botched its investigation of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting — downplaying the gunman’s anti-GOP motives despite having handwritten evidence, a blistering House report found. Continue reading
“Whitehead, a 2023 appointee of former President Joe Biden, blocked enforcement of Trump’s order, saying it amounted to an “effective nullification of congressional will” in setting up the nation’s refugee admissions program.”
(Newsmax) A judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to admit some 12,000 refugees into the United States under a court order partially blocking the president’s efforts to suspend the nation’s refugee admissions program. Continue reading
Read first and then watch the video on the site.
(Frank Miller – Republic Sentinel) Bradford Smith, a father with ALS, received a Neuralink brain implant and can now complete tasks such as typing on his computer using only his mind despite his neurological condition.
Smith said in a viral social media video produced with the brain implant that ALS “kills the motor neurons that control my muscles” but does not impact his mind, a condition he discovered “starting with a shoulder injury that would not heal and ending up with my current status.” Continue reading
(Revolver) While America was getting crushed by a wide-open border, skyrocketing crime, and runaway inflation, the Biden administration was laser-focused on one thing: censoring American citizens who didn’t fall in line with the progressive agenda.
Forget solving real problems; Team Biden operated more like a regime straight outta North Korea, obsessed with silencing political dissent and labeling everyday Americans as “disinformation threats” simply for having the wrong opinions online. Continue reading
“The Trump administration isn’t just fighting back against one bad ruling; it’s defending the fundamental separation of powers. This appeal systematically addresses every aspect of Boasberg’s flawed and blatantly partisan reasoning while simultaneously highlighting the urgent national security implications of these deportation flights.”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Trump administration has just shown exactly how to handle judicial activism: by fighting back with everything it has. Continue reading
