A busy week in America, as always.
President Trump meets with European leaders at the White House, and enjoys some favorable poll numbers for his recent work.
Meanwhile, leftists fail to prevent Texas’ redistricting vote, and get mocked for a rebrand attempt for failing MSNBC.
Crime Stats Fall As POTUS Cleans Up Washington, DC
President Donald Trump’s federalization of Washington, D.C.’s police department has led to a significant drop in crime within just 11 days. Metropolitan Police Department data show an 83% decline in carjackings, a 37% reduction in motor vehicle thefts, and a 50% decrease in homicides compared to the prior 11 days.
Overall, violent crime fell by 40.2%, and total crime dropped by 14%, with notable decreases in robberies and assaults. Trump’s actions, including the deployment of federal officers, have been praised for enhancing safety in the nation’s capital. As a thank-you to law enforcement officers, the President treated them to pizza and burgers.
Trump’s Approval Ratings Soar After Putin Meeting
President Trump’s successful foreign policy, highlighted by his summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, has boosted his voter approval rating to 54%, a net +10% increase from July’s +2%, according to an InsiderAdvantage survey.
The poll shows significant gains, with 23.7% of Black voters and 47.2% of Hispanic voters approving, along with 64% of White voters and 50.4% of independents, though older voters remain less supportive. Trump’s claim of “great progress” in the talks, echoed by Putin’s remarks, reflects growing public recognition of his diplomatic efforts.
NY Appeals Court Tosses Tish James’ $500 Million Lawfare Attack on Trump
A New York appeals court overturned a nearly $500 million penalty against President Trump, ruling it an excessive fine that violated the Eighth Amendment and delivering a significant victory against Letitia James’ corrupt lawfare.
While the court upheld the fraud ruling, the decision allows Trump to appeal to the state’s highest court, potentially overturning the initial guilty verdict. James vowed to appeal, but Trump and his son Eric celebrated the ruling as a “total victory,” claiming it dismantled a politically motivated witch hunt.
Failing Fake News MSDNC Tries Rebrand, Gets Mocked
MSNBC’s rebrand to MS NOW, announced as part of its Comcast spinoff, has been met with sharp criticism and mockery, with President Trump calling it a desperate move by a failing network struggling with low ratings.
Social media users ridiculed the new name, likening it to a failed software product, while Trump labeled the network a “fake news” failure under Comcast’s “dopey” leadership. Despite the rebrand’s alleged goal of reducing “brand confusion” and maintaining its “progressive” audience, the move has drawn widespread ridicule, highlighting MSNBC’s ongoing struggles.
Former National Security Advisor Bolton’s Home Raided by FBI
The FBI, under Director Kash Patel, raided former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s Bethesda home and Washington, D.C., office as part of a revived investigation into his alleged mishandling of classified documents.
The probe, initially opened in 2020, focuses on claims that Bolton sent sensitive information to his family via a private email server during his tenure. No arrests or charges have been made, but the court-authorized raids signal the FBI’s commitment to addressing evidence of wrongdoing.
Texas Succeeds in Redistricting Vote
The Texas Senate’s passage of the “Big Beautiful Map” redistricting bill marks a significant victory for Texas voters and Republicans, as it ensures congressional maps align with voting preferences.
Democrats’ planned filibuster, led by Senator Carol Alvarado, collapsed after Republicans exposed her fundraising scheme, abruptly ending the stunt with a parliamentary maneuver.
The bill, now headed to Governor Greg Abbott for signing, highlights Democratic hypocrisy while advancing Republican efforts to secure fair representation.
Zelensky and European Leaders Meet Trump at White House
President Trump’s hosting of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders at the White House marks another foreign policy triumph, with Zelensky and figures like Ursula von der Leyen and Mark Rutte praising his leadership in advancing peace talks to end the Ukraine-Russia war.
The leaders lauded Trump for opening dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, paving the way for a planned Zelensky-Putin meeting followed by a trilateral summit. Their unified support underscores Trump’s pivotal role in shifting the conflict toward a potential resolution after years of bloody stalemate, which claimed countless lives on both sides.
Shady Putin Trying to Weasel His Way Through Peace Talks
Russian President Vladimir Putin, with China’s backing, is pushing a deceptive “2022 proposal” to involve the “U.N. Security Council,” under Chinese and Russian leadership (yes, you read that correctly), in Ukraine’s postwar security guarantees, aiming to weaken Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected China’s role, citing its failure to oppose Russia’s aggression and its continued support for Russia’s drone market. The scheme, condemned by Zelensky as unhelpful, is seen as a ploy to trick Ukraine, Trump, and the West into a one-sided deal favoring Russian control.
Illegal Migrant Trucker Kills Three Americans on Highway
A tragic accident near Fort Pierce, Florida, on August 12, killed three Americans when Harjinder Singh, an illegal migrant truck driver, made an illegal U-turn, unable to read highway signs or pass an English proficiency test.
Democrats’ open-border policies and lax enforcement allowed Singh to obtain a commercial driver’s license and operate a 40-ton vehicle, despite his clear inability to meet basic, yet crucial, safety standards.
This preventable tragedy highlights the Democrats’ sick performative social justice, inability to comprehend the consequences of their actions, and their smug, arrogant, and reckless disregard for Americans’ safety.
Self-Gaslighting Hollywood Freaks Out at Trump Foreign Policy Wins
Far-left Hollywood celebrities, including Mark Hamill and George Takei, are lashing out on social media, spreading debunked conspiracy theories and criticizing President Trump’s successful Ukraine-Russia peace talks.
Always wishing Trump would fail and constantly enraged that he succeeds, performers like Amber Tamblyn and Barbra Streisand express outrage over his diplomatic achievements, accusing him of weakness and embarrassing the U.S. Others, like Mia Farrow and Jack White, mock his White House decor.
Their online tantrums, in which leftists are living “their truths” instead of the truth, are backfiring. They expose their bitterness, embarrass them in front of their followers, likely cost them more elections, and hilariously contribute to their self-inflicted mental health crises.
Peter Navarro Warns of Chilling Future if Lawfare Not Addressed
Peter Navarro, a political prisoner and victim of the Biden administration’s lawfare, warns in his book I Went to Prison So You Won’t Have To that without accountability, Democrats’ authoritarian tactics will resurge if they regain power.
He highlights his severely dramatic arrest at Reagan Airport for a mere misdemeanor, orchestrated by former FBI agent Walter Giardina, with CNN on speed dial, as evidence of weaponized justice and political theater.
Navarro is optimistic that FBI Director Kash Patel’s testimony before Senator Chuck Grassley’s committee will expose those responsible. He warns that failure to hold them accountable risks a repeat of such communistic persecution.
New Info Shows Biden Admin Dropped Migrant Children Into Unvetted Homes
Deeply concerning information has surfaced, showing that the Biden administration’s HHS placed over 11,000 unaccompanied migrant children in unvetted homes, ignoring federal requirements for FBI background checks and home studies, and exposing vulnerable children to potential abuse.
President Trump and Senator Chuck Grassley are exposing this sickening hypocrisy, revealing how Democrats prioritized optics over child safety while failing to track nearly half a million unaccompanied children.
A leftist, living “they/them/their truth,” means pretending to care in public, tossing the children aside in private, and pretending nothing happened when bad things occur.
DOJ Civil Rights Division Cleaning Up Leftists, Adding Competent People
In some optimistic news, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon is reshaping the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, with 75% of its prior staff departing as the division shifts away from leftist ideology and toward enforcing laws as written.
The division is actively hiring competent attorneys to address issues such as religious liberty, antisemitism on campuses, and workplace rights, prioritizing statutory compliance over political agendas. Dhillon’s leadership promises a revitalized DOJ focused on restoring fairness and protecting Americans’ rights with integrity, instead of self-interested leftists promoting themselves while avoiding actual work.
Country Singer Rips Bruce Springsteen’s Anti-Americanism, Smug Fake Patriotism
Country singer and former frontman for rock band Staind, Aaron Lewis, in a candid podcast with Tucker Carlson, exposes Bruce Springsteen’s hypocrisy. He accuses him of deceiving fans with the anti-American undertones of “Born in the U.S.A.” while posing as a blue-collar champion.
Lewis criticizes Springsteen for forgetting his roots and living a privileged life that blinds him to America’s struggles, embodying the leftist elite’s shamelessly entitled and smugly ignorant attitude. He argues that Springsteen’s disconnect reflects a broader leftist agenda that thrives on division to exploit Americans, rather than fostering unity and shared national pride.
“It’s not coincidental. It’s purposeful,” he explained. “How can they exploit us if we are all united and getting along?” And he’s right about that.
