This past week, President Donald Trump reached another peace deal. This time, between Rwanda and Congo. Meanwhile, the left still reeled from watching Trump succeed in the Middle East.
Retired U.S. Navy Captain, and celebrated Vietnamese American, Hung Cao attended his confirmation hearing for the role of Under Secretary of the Navy for the Trump administration.
Here are just a few things that happened last week:
JD Vance Sets Out “Trump Doctrine” Amid Middle East Triumph
Vice President JD Vance praises President Donald Trump’s swift resolution of the “12-day war” between Israel and Iran, calling it a triumph for the “Trump Doctrine.” Trump’s decisive actions—including U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites—ended the conflict quickly, demonstrating a strategy of defined interests, aggressive diplomacy, and overwhelming force.
Vance says Trump avoided both inaction and overreach, neutralizing Iran’s nuclear threat and securing a ceasefire. He also describes the Trump Doctrine as a balance between skepticism of military overreach and the need for firm action.
By clearly defining the mission—preventing a nuclear-armed Iran—and executing it without “mission creep,” President Trump showed strong and fearless leadership in stark contrast to previous presidents. Vance believes this doctrine, rooted in clarity, diplomacy, and targeted force, will guide future U.S. foreign policy long after this administration.
Former Biden Aide Admits No Clue Who Authorized Autopen Signings
Former Biden aide Neera Tanden revealed that she was authorized to direct autopen signatures for official documents without knowing who gave final approval.
This admission, coupled with scandalous conflicting claims that former President Joe Biden personally signed off on every action, exposes a dysfunctional system shrouded in secrecy and deception.
Another Leftist Actor Wishes Violence and Death on Republicans
Actor Patton Oswalt posted a grotesque post on leftist social media outlet BlueSky, relishing in death threats against Trump’s border czar Tom Homan. Oswalt’s gross pleasure is another example of the dark, resentful underbelly of emasculated leftist rhetoric—gleefully targeting a patriot for doing his job.
Homan, who has done a stellar job slashing illegal border crossings to historic lows, is forced to live apart from his family due to outrageous threats fueled by such vitriol. It’s a sad reality that selfless, patriotic duty in America now comes at such a personal cost.
U.S. and Israel Lay Groundwork for Middle East Peace
Following the swift victory over Iran, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are finalizing a transformative Middle East peace plan—beginning with ending the Gaza war within two weeks and paving the way for broader regional stability.
This historic agreement, bolstered by the expansion of the Abraham Accords and the weakening of Iranian threats, promises normalized relations with Arab states and offers a hopeful path toward lasting peace.
Retired Navy Captain Hung Cao Attends Confirmation Hearing for Navy Undersecretary
Retired U.S. Navy Captain Hung Cao attended his confirmation hearing for Under Secretary of the Navy in the Senate this past week on June 26, 2025.
In addition to answering questions from various senators—including a bizarre, lengthy, and meandering anti-Trump rant by Democrat Tim Kaine—Cao laid out his plan to create the most lethal and terrifying Navy in U.S. history.
He also opened his statement by expressing love and gratitude for his family, the United States, and his humble beginnings as a South Vietnamese refugee.
Leftist Fake News Media Self-Humiliates in Iran Denuclearization Coverage
President Trump’s successful strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and the subsequent Israel-Iran cease-fire were monumental, yet leftist media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post continue to embarrass themselves by trying to spin it negatively.
CNN, the belle of the fake news ball, epitomizes the leftist media’s self-humiliation—peddling a “low confidence” report as fact while omitting its uncertainty, only to be contradicted by global intelligence confirming Trump’s success. CNN’s blatant bias—lying about their own lies and flip-flopping on White House skepticism—continues their track record as a laughingstock.
Despite media efforts to downplay or delegitimize Trump’s actions, his decisive moves untangled decades-long Middle East tensions, proving both effective and lawful compared to past presidents’ unauthorized strikes.
Trump Brokers Peace Between Rwanda and Congo
President Trump, with Secretary Rubio at his side, met with the leaders of Rwanda and Congo to secure a historic peace deal between the two nations, ending a long and bloody war that has claimed countless lives on both sides.
This is the latest in President Trump’s lengthy list of peace-brokering achievements, including the Abraham Accords in the Middle East, the India-Pakistan conflict resolution, the Serbia-Kosovo agreement, and the de-escalation of tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Nile River dam.
Stock Markets Rally Last Week
The U.S. decision to end trade talks with Canada, prompted by its digital services tax, sparked a robust market rally, with the Dow surging 432 points and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching record highs.
This strong economic response reflects investor confidence in policies that prioritize American interests, signaling a promising outlook for continued market growth.
SCOTUS Justice Barrett Sounds Alarm on Creeping Marxism of Justice Jackson
Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered a sharp rebuttal to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s “extreme” dissent in a major birthright citizenship case, saying Jackson’s argument strayed from both legal precedent and the Constitution.
In a 6–3 decision that limited lower courts’ ability to issue universal injunctions, Barrett criticized Jackson for relying on dramatic hypotheticals instead of solid legal reasoning, accusing her of promoting an “imperial Judiciary” and ignoring the proper limits of the courts.
Jackson’s dissent, which dismissed statutory analysis as “legalese” and warned of unchecked executive power, drew a pointed reply from Barrett, who reminded that judges are also bound by the law.
The heated exchange, seen by many as a necessary debate, highlighted Barrett’s defense of judicial restraint in contrast to Jackson’s more alarmist perspective, reinforcing the Court’s commitment to staying within legal limits.
Major Supreme Court Wins for Normal Americans
This past week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a series of decisions reinforcing normalcy in America, including a 6–3 ruling on Monday allowing the Trump administration to deport illegal aliens to third countries, overturning a previous block on such actions.
On Thursday, the Court upheld South Carolina’s right to exclude Planned Parenthood from Medicaid funding, affirming state authority in another 6–3 decision.
Friday’s 6–3 ruling in the birthright citizenship case (previously noted) curbed lower courts’ overuse of nationwide injunctions, limiting judicial overreach.
Additionally, the Court sided with Maryland parents, granting them the right to opt their K–5 children out of mandatory LGBTQ+ curriculum, restoring parental choice in education.
