🚨 President Trump is DIRECTLY countering Zohran Mamdani's anti-American speech today
"We are an INCREDIBLY good, kind, and generous people, always ready to help a friend or a neighbor in need.
No one has EVER given more to charity, ended more hunger, cured more disease, or done more to uplift humanity than AMERICANS, and no country EVER will be able to match it."
“Our identity as a nation – unlike many other nations – is not determined by geography or ethnicity, by soil or blood. Being an American involves the embrace of high ideals and civic responsibility.
We become the heirs of Thomas Jefferson by accepting the ideal of human dignity found in the Declaration of Independence. We become the heirs of James Madison by understanding the genius and values of the U.S. Constitution. We become the heirs of Martin Luther King, Jr., by recognizing one another not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”—George W. Bush
🇮🇷 Iran's new Supreme Leader may not attend his own father's funeral.
Mojtaba Khamenei has been in a bunker since March, believed to have been injured in the same strikes that killed his father, his wife, his teenage son and other family members on the first day of the war.
He wasn't at the memorial for his wife on Wednesday. His security team has reportedly rejected funeral attendance over fears Israel will assassinate him or use the appearance to locate his hiding place.
Security advisers told him not to reveal himself "in any way, even to the extent of releasing his voice."
He wants to attend the burial in Mashhad on July 9 to recite the prayer of the dead over his father. Whether his security team lets him is an open question.
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, the man theoretically at the apex of all power in Iran, is hiding in a bunker, hasn't been seen or heard in 4 months, and may not be able to bury his own father.
Whatever Iran looks like on the other side of this funeral, it's being shaped by people other than the man who's actually supposed to.
🇮🇷 Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader, has not been seen in public since March.
He wasn't at the memorial for his own wife and teenage son, killed on the war's first day when the family compound was bombed. Security officials are blocking his attendance at his father's funeral over fears Israel will assassinate him or track his location.
Iran is being run by a Supreme Leader in hiding.
The pragmatist faction, Ghalibaf, Pezeshkian, the IRGC's senior generals, pushed the deal through despite hardliner opposition, essentially forcing Mojtaba's hand.
The Supreme National Security Council voted 12-1 in favor. Mojtaba approved it while publicly stating he opposed it "on principle."
Meanwhile hardliners are calling negotiators traitors on state television, chanting "death to appeasers" at Araghchi in Iraq, and at least one lawmaker is publicly asking whether a coup is underway. The director of state broadcasting (appointed by the senior Khamenei from the ultra-hardline camp) cut Ghalibaf off mid-interview live on air.
Iran's vice president for executive affairs recently said the new Supreme Leader's opinion is like any other official's and should be debated. A statement that would have been unthinkable 6 months ago.
The appointments Mojtaba makes after the funeral (judiciary, state broadcasting, Basij, chief of staff) will tell you everything about which direction Iran actually goes from here.
The pragmatists got the deal. The hardliners are fighting for the institutions.
🇺🇸 Trump's 2025 financial disclosure just dropped and his reported income tripled from $600 million in 2024 to over $2 billion in 2025
$1.4 billion from crypto. $635 million from the $TRUMP meme coin alone, $550-800 million from World Liberty Financial.
$300 million plus from real estate, golf resorts and international licensing. $80-86 million in legal settlements from Meta, Paramount, ABC and YouTube. 21,285 stock trades with an estimated transaction value between $600 million and $1.86 billion including Nvidia.
He also made $4.7 million selling Trump watches, $1.8 million from his book, and $208,000 from the God Bless the USA Bible.
The conflicts of interest questions essentially write themselves and Congress is already having that conversation.
🇺🇸Trump at 5:00 PM: "Iran is totally destroyed. Their people and soldiers are hungry, they’ve got no food."
🇮🇷Araghchi at 5:05 PM: "You’ve got 40 million people on food stamps at home and you’re calling Iran hungry? Worry about your own malnutrition. Mind your business."🔥
🚨 JUST IN: Cartel-controlled Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's approval rating just PLUMMETED to an ALL-TIME HISTORIC LOW
Time for her to be voted out of office and a RIGHT-WINGER to take over! Do you know how HUGE that would be for America 🇺🇸🇲🇽
Let TRUMP destroy the cartels! More right-wingers in power across Latin America = better for our hemisphere
"The cartels RULE Mexico, and NOBODY ELSE."
"The cartels and nobody else, they just rule it, and you know, we lose 200,000 people a YEAR through this poison that pours into our country." — Trump earlier this year...
🇺🇸 Local police sent 102 radio warnings about Thomas Crooks before he shot at Trump in Butler. The Secret Service received zero of them.
The counter-drone system, the one piece of equipment that could have detected Crooks' 9-minute drone flight over the rally site, was inoperable.
It was being operated by a single undertrained agent who had never tested it before the event. When a call finally came in about the rooftop, that agent Googled the building's location to figure out where it was.
There was also classified intelligence about a long-range threat to Trump that was never shared with the Pittsburgh field office or the agents planning security.
One bystander died. Trump was grazed by a bullet that came a few centimeters from killing the President of the United States.
6 staffers received suspensions of 10 days to 6 weeks. The Secret Service agreed with all 7 recommendations.
🚨 Communist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who just came to this country, chose to become an American, is deciding he is the foremost authority to tell Americans what it means to be American.
He has the AUDACITY, on America's 250th birthday, to call our great nation "an arena of supremacy" — a nation that "persecutes," ruled by "oligarchs."
He sneers that his fellow Americans are "small, weak, unoriginal."
He says “ICE is invading our streets” while he endorses and welcomes an invasion of third-world savages.
Millions dream of the gift he was given.
A man who spends his time burning the most American city to the ground does not deserve to be America, let alone dictate to others what it means to be an America.
