Shots Fired as Fleeing Suspect Strikes ICE Agent with Vehicle - Manhunt Underway:
The ICE statement offered details on the attempted arrest.
“ICE law enforcement officers attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The driver then weaponized his vehicle and struck an officer resulting in the officer discharging his weapon. The driver fled the scene and remains at-large.”
You've probably heard a lot about the reflecting pool over the past couple of days.
Here's a good, accurate summary of the issue from Peggy Traeger Tierney. Good stuff here: - John F. Di Leo - Peggy Traeger Tierney
Fact Check: The "Antifa Algae Attack" Rumor and the Real Story of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool
Over the past day or two, a viral claim has spread rapidly: two Antifa operatives supposedly confessed to dumping algae into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as a political sabotage operation funded by Barack Obama. This story is made up. It originated as satire and morphed into a viral joke...
In 2026, President Trump ordered a $14.2 million renovation of the century-old Reflecting Pool, criticizing its longstanding “filthy” condition...
The work wrapped up recently, and the pool was refilled ahead of the summer season and the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
- Citizens and tourists were both astonished at how beautiful the reflecting pool really is once Trump restored it to its previous greatness.
- Within days, an algae bloom appeared in the pool in the stifling heat just like it would in any body of water exposed to nature and the sun.
The National Park Service is addressing it with standard treatments: 12% hydrogen peroxide applications and an advanced ozone nanobubble filtration system installed as part of the renovation.
Crews are also using vacuums and manual skimming to remove dead algae as crews did for the first 90 years.
This is routine environmental management for a shallow, sun-exposed public water feature...

Second Amendment groups target decades-long 'permission slip' scheme with new lawsuit * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation
Second Amendment groups target decades-long 'permission slip' scheme with new lawsuit * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation:
Michigan Open Carry, Michigan Gun Owners (MGO), the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners (MCRGO) and the NRA filed the suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan, Michigan Open Carry said in a Sunday X post. An attorney for one of the gun-rights organization said the scheme, which dates back to 1927, clearly violated the Second Amendment.
"Michigan cannot require law‑abiding citizens to obtain a discretionary government permission slip before exercising a fundamental constitutional right," MGO attorney James Makowski said in the release.
University Indoctrination Centers Are Being Abandoned
Up to 25 percent of U.S. colleges may close soon, largely due to their inferior product. - Larry Sand
- As I wrote last week, public schools are depopulating on a large scale for a variety of reasons, including a declining birth rate, the fact that many of them don’t offer a worthy product, the advancement of school choice, and others.
- Colleges are faring even worse for many of the same reasons...
Why, specifically, are so many universities going down the tubes?..
American Enterprise Institute research fellow Daniel Buck and Garion Frankel of the James G. Martin Center give examples of the avalanche of radical political and cultural drivel that is omnipresent on campuses today.

- Oregon State University offers “Disney: Gender, Race, and Empire.”
- Students at Indiana University can take “Having it All: Postfeminist Media After Sex and the City.”
- They continue, “How about ‘Bad Bunny: Musical Aesthetics and Politics’ at Yale University?...
If Labour’s under 16 social media ban is about protecting children from extremism, why is BlueSky exempt?
BlueSky features leftist extremism all the time. - Daniel Jupp
- It saw mass celebration of the murder of Charlie Kirk.
- Posters there regularly fantasise about murdering or celebrating the deaths of any rightwing political figure.
- Each Trump assassination attempt has been greeted gleefully (that it took place) and regretfully (that it failed) on BlueSky...
It also hosts a lot of antisemetic content focused on leftist support for Palestinians, and sympathetic attitudes towards or outright advocacy of known Muslim and leftist terror groups.
- It’s a sewer.
- But it’s their sewer, so kids are welcome...
'Don't tell the parents': Ben Carson sounds the alarm on Marxists in America's schools * WorldNetDaily * by Robert B. Bluey, The Daily Signal
'Don't tell the parents': Ben Carson sounds the alarm on Marxists in America's schools * WorldNetDaily * by Robert B. Bluey, The Daily Signal:
You have a situation now where many of the school systems have a large number of Marxists in them, and their belief is that children actually belong to the government, actually belong to the school system, and they have the right to do what they want to do, and their agendas they know frequently would not correspond with what the parents would want. So don't tell the parents and just do what you want to do.

Virginia school district accused of anti-Christian bias after email suggests AXING Christmas vacation | Blaze Media:
One mother said it was just the latest scheme to snub Christianity.
Parents of students in Fairfax County Public Schools say their opposition to a suggestion about religious holidays is being ignored, and they believe anti-Christian bias to blame.
The district asked parents whether they would be open to adding more instructional days to the school calendar at the expense of the holiday vacation that included Christmas Day.
China? Iran? Billionaire democrats??!!-----Political organisation with 62,000 followers on FB...post a slick, professionally edited video about how drilling for North Sea oil won’t reduce energy prices but will increase them.
My reply: - Daniel Jupp“You’ll pay more if we drill more”…..you guys haven’t heard of the concept of supply and demand, then?
Shall the rest of us wait while you catch up on the last 300 years of economic theory?”
Shall the rest of us wait while you catch up on the last 300 years of economic theory?”
- It takes money and investment to get 62,000 followers.
Because it needs ads and promotion to get there.
- Those networks of corrupt funding create thousands of these organisations.
- Someone is paying these chumps...
No Kings Rallies Intelligence Report (US) | Election Crime Bureau
No Kings Rallies Intelligence Report (US) | Election Crime Bureau:
It is no coincidence that the No Kings movement has chosen this particular moment — the eve of America’s 250th birthday — to escalate its intensity and reach. July 4, 2026, marks the Semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence, the singular document in which the Founders proclaimed that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. The timing of the No Kings movement’s crescendo is not accidental. It is strategic.
At its core, the No Kings movement is not a defense of the founding — it is a repudiation of it. Where the Founders built a republic on God-endowed natural rights, limited government, constitutional order, and the inseparability of religion and public virtue, the movement’s organizational backbone advocates for expanded state power, secular-progressive social reconstruction, the dismantling of constitutional protections, and a moral framework in which no transcendent authority governs human conduct. The movement invokes “No Kings” as its banner — but the original phrase, “No King but Jesus,” was a declaration of divine sovereignty, asserting that even the king must answer to God. The movement has stripped the slogan of its theological soul and turned it inside out.
