The Trump administration reaffirmed that illegal immigrants are eligible for deportation while prioritizing arrests of violent criminals. Ramsingh said Trump is not against immigration but wants legal immigration; he reiterated that immigrants have a privilege, not a right, to be in the U.S. After immigrating, Ramsingh founded Dominion Custom Upholstery 13 years ago and later launched another company focused on boatworks and interior repairs. Ramsingh recounted living in his home country in 1990 when Muslim insurgents carried out a coup and shot Prime Minister ANR Robinson and took officials hostage.

If regulations reduce competition and remove low-cost options, consumers may have fewer choices and higher prices. California projects consumers will save money from improved tire fuel efficiency. The proposal prioritizes fuel economy over other tire attributes. Tire selection balances cost, supplier ties, ride quality, handling, noise, durability, availability, production needs, and corporate agreements. Automakers do not select tires only based on fuel economy. Supporters claim many replacement tires are less efficient than OEM tires, increasing fuel spending. Several states (NY, NJ, IL, MA, and others) historically follow California automotive regulations. The state argues more efficient tires will reduce fuel use, lower emissions, and save consumers money. California's proposal would set energy-efficiency standards for replacement tires. California regulators state their intent is to save drivers money. California wants to decide which tires consumers can buy (rhetorical question).

Trump accused oil companies of price gouging and argued that gas prices should be lower given that oil prices have fallen. Trump said, 'We should be ... at $2.25 right now at the pump,' expressing his view that gas should be $2.25/gal. About four months after the war with Iran began, gas prices fell below $4 per gallon on June 19, the first time they had been below $4 since late March.

Elites in schools, news media, and entertainment have spent a generation lying to children about America. About one-third of Americans know enough about the country to pass the U.S. citizenship test. NAEP data show U.S. history test scores have been declining for more than a decade. An American Enterprise Institute study found members of Gen Z were less knowledgeable about key U.S. historical landmarks than baby boomers. 29% of Democrats and 36% of 18–34-year-olds say they are very or extremely proud to be American, while 90% of Republicans and 75% of seniors report the same. The decline in Americans reporting they are extremely proud is being driven primarily by liberals and young Americans. An NBC News poll, released just weeks before the nation's 250th birthday, showed a record-low share of Americans who are "extremely proud" to be American. The author claims English society flourished while French revolutionaries failed, and likewise American liberalism succeeded while the centrally planned Soviet Edmund Burke predicted, years before the Reign of Terror, that the French Revolution would end in tyranny. The author asserts that the radical Left has favored top-down theoretical approaches for hundreds of years. The article states the paper's thesis critiques Western epistemological traditions that privilege objectivity. The article defines 'intersectionality' as a popular American Left philosophy that explains the world in terms of privilege and discrimination and combines crit Karl Marx wrote in The Communist Manifesto that "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." The article asserts that progressive supporters of Palestine cannot forgive someone for being Jewish, regardless of their support for the Palestinian cause. The article claims the allegations against Wiener are similar to allegations made against Senator Bernie Sanders. The author asserts Wiener is a radical leftist and is radically anti-Israel. Protesters at the event called Wiener a supporter of "genocide" and said he "didn't belong" in the LGBTQ community. California State Senator Scott Wiener was chased from a Pride march last month because of his views on Gaza. Taxpayers fund Planned Parenthood, which the author describes as the nation's largest abortion provider. Planned Parenthood staff tell patients that abortion will provide a better life. When asked hypothetically about alternative circumstances, a majority of mothers say they would choose to parent rather than have an abortion. Abortion is promoted as healthcare, but it causes additional distress for both a woman and her child, according to the author. Because they were afraid and felt unsupported, the author and his then-fiancée obtained an abortion for their first child, Sarah, at Planned Parenthood. 34 years ago, Planned Parenthood staff told the author and his then-fiancée that abortion would provide a "better life." Since Roe v. Wade (1973), tens of millions of abortions have occurred; Roe enabled Planned Parenthood to grow into the largest abortion provider and allegedly c Planned Parenthood persuades vulnerable women that abortion will solve their problems, enabling its high abortion numbers. In a single fiscal year, nearly 500,000 abortions were performed by one organization (Planned Parenthood). Planned Parenthood performed or caused 434,450 abortions in the 2024–2025 fiscal year. Congress prioritized funding or support for abortion providers over protecting future American lives. Adversarial governments can exploit existing radical ideas by funding them rather than inventing them anew. An extreme climate-activist agenda could amount to industrial self-destruction and give geopolitical competitors a large economic advantage. Foreign funding flowing into universities, nonprofits, and platforms can magnify these fringe ideas and shape Americans' worldviews. Currently, beliefs the authors describe as 'self-destructive' that used to be fringe are increasing in popularity across the U.S. and other Western countries. Harmful ideas are typically harmless while fringe, but become dangerous and divisive when funded, legitimized, and amplified. People are not allowed to use those civic tools to undermine the governments of China, Iran, Russia, or North Korea. In Western countries (including the U.S.), people are allowed to fund nonprofits, organize protests, form campus movements, and use social media to influence pu If the government controls which opinions are permitted, other freedoms will become less secure. Free speech also constitutes a major vulnerability that foreign enemies can exploit. Free speech is the primary safeguard against tyranny in America. Canada (the author's country) is fortunate to share a border with the United States rather than with a despotic regime. If Americans abandon their founding words as empty slogans, the danger extends beyond the U.S. U.S. military power stems from its philosophical commitment to natural rights and their realization. The United States is the keystone of Western civilization; without it, Western civilization would collapse. American founding principles obligate the U.S. to care about liberty globally for philosophical consistency rather than imperial motives. The United States is likened to a new 'chosen people' or New Zion tasked with a special responsibility. If natural rights are true, then any regime that rejects them is an enemy of humanity, not just of Americans. The author witnessed the successful launch of Artemis II and describes it as bringing the U.S. closer to returning astronauts to the Moon. The author claims he secured $250 million for Kennedy Space Center upgrades and over $10 billion for NASA via the One Big Beautiful Bill. Each space launch supports thousands of high-paying jobs, boosts local economies, and reinforces U.S. strategic advantage. China is aggressively investing in space capabilities and challenging U.S. leadership in space. Kennedy Space Center opened in 1962. In 2020, U.S. astronauts launched to space from U.S. soil on a SpaceX rocket. The Space Shuttle program operated from 1981 to 2011. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first humans to walk on the Moon in 1969. Alan Shepard became the first American in space in 1961. Explorer 1 was the United States' first satellite. The author contends the campaign finance ruling reaffirms political speech as protected free speech and predicts it will shift fundraising and election spending The Supreme Court protected a New Jersey pregnancy center's ability to keep its donor list private from a state subpoena, and it struck down limits on how much The Supreme Court struck down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy counseling, ruling that the state cannot allow therapists to affirm a client's gender identit The Supreme Court unanimously held that the government may not revoke a person's firearm rights solely because the person is an occasional marijuana user, unles As a result, the 27 states that already protect single-sex sports have secure legal footing, while litigation is pending over whether equal protection and Title A 6-3 Supreme Court majority held that the Constitution's equal protection clause allows states to enact protections for female athletes. In cases from West Virginia and Idaho, all nine Supreme Court justices agreed that Title IX does not require states to allow biological males to compete on girl As a practical effect, voters will have more influence over the federal regulatory bureaucracy through the president's removal power, rather than power being he The Supreme Court ended the 90-year practice that insulated heads of independent agencies (e.g., the FTC) from removal except for cause, ruling that the preside If Democrats nominate Jon Ossoff, it would be because he distanced himself from Judaism rather than because the party removed antisemitism. In the same week Tucker Carlson left the Republican Party, multiple DSA candidates defeated long-standing establishment Democrats in New York primaries. Right-wing antisemitism is largely an online phenomenon compared with what the author describes as the Left's sweeping, observable influence. The Democratic Party includes many figures like AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Zohran Mamdani, while comparable right-wing counterparts are rare. Recent polls indicate strong support for Israel and Jewish people within the Republican Party and weaker support among Democrats. The author asserts that Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly have embraced antisemitism and focus heavily on anti-Israel sentiment. The party's decision-making question has shifted from "Why would it be offensive to nominate a Jew?" to "Who is the least Jewish Jew we can nominate?" The Democratic establishment has adopted a strategy of appeasing antisemitism rather than removing it from their movement. The author asserts that Shapiro is far superior to Walz in eloquence, political acumen, and general intelligence. Shapiro was a serious contender for Kamala Harris's vice president but was passed over in favor of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Elex Michaelson said: "As Jew, some people read a little more Jewish than others. And Jon Ossoff may not read as Jewish as Josh Shapiro does, for whatever that' A CNN host suggested Josh Shapiro "reads too Jewish" for the Democratic nomination. Combined, the proposals would cost more than $6 million; delegates acknowledge the funds are not in the current budget; the proposals would move the 3-million-m Item 85 proposes that NEA Today publish articles defending teachers who teach about 'genocide in Palestine' with 'generational trauma' language; cost $222,000; The union frames the 'Red Cards' as protecting scared families; critics say they amount to taxpayer-adjacent instructions for staff to obstruct federal immigrat The cost attributed to Item 46 is nearly $219,000. Item 46 proposes printing and distributing 'Red Cards'—multilingual materials designed to help educators and families evade ICE. Item 24 requests the NEA president lobby the Congressional Black Caucus to pursue 'Educational Reparations,' which backers say would eliminate student loan debt The cost attributed to Item 10 is $5.2 million. The author claims socialists support allowing trans athletes to compete against women, and that 72% of working-class Americans oppose this. The author asserts that socialists support abolishing ICE and that 60% of working-class Americans support building a wall. The author states that Claire Valdez beat Antonio Reynoso 62% to 28% in high-income neighborhoods, while Reynoso led low-income areas 63% to 31%. The author claims Darializa Chevalier (DSA) lost the Hispanic vote by 16 points, lost the Bronx by 30 points, and won affluent Manhattan areas. The author reports polling figures in Maine: Susan Collins polling 21 points ahead of Graham Platner in one measurement, but Platner is ahead by two points over The author claims Trump received 25% of black men's votes and that he won Hispanic men outright (no percentages given for the latter). The author states that over 80% of DSA members had a college degree (per the cited survey). The author states that 4% of DSA members held blue-collar jobs, 60% held professional jobs, and the rest were unemployed or students. The author claims that voters for DSA candidates have a similar demographic profile to DSA members. Citing Thomas Edsall and a 2021 survey, the author states DSA membership racial composition: 85% white, 9% Hispanic, 4% Black. The author asserts that a socialist recently unseated a longtime Democratic incumbent, claiming this is the fifth victory for the Democratic Socialists of Ameri With $5,000 annual contributions, the account could grow to about $303,800 by age 18 (per article). White House estimate: a child born in 2026 may have ~$5,800 by age 18 with only the seed deposit. The top 1% own about 50% of equities; the bottom 50% own about 1% of U.S. equities. Trump Accounts aim to bring non-investors into the market by giving them equity ownership. Cato Institute poll: 40% of Millennials (30–44) view socialism favorably; 29% view communism favorably. Cato Institute poll: 53% of Gen Z (18–29) view socialism favorably; 38% view communism favorably. Trump said parents will see their child's account grow as markets rise. The article states the accounts will help both children and their parents. Trump said "They want to destroy our country" and vowed prevention. Trump asserted that his political opponents are "communists." The program will teach children to be entrepreneurial rather than embrace communism. President Trump said Trump Accounts could remedy growing interest in communist ideals by teaching children entrepreneurialism. Pratt said Mamdani's ancestors never bled for the U.S., that he has no history or attachment to the country and no place to rewrite its history, and urged Ameri Pratt argued loving America is necessary, claiming the U.S. has served as the world's shield against tyranny and that American ingenuity produced airplanes, the Pratt invoked Mao's cultural destruction and called communism an evil, anti-human religion that thrives on demoralization. Pratt asserted that communists always attack a nation's history because history anchors people. Pratt said Mamdani was a "vile commie mayor" lecturing Americans about history. Spencer Pratt posted on X criticizing Mamdani's depiction of the U.S. and called him an anti-human Marxist seeking to destroy American culture. Mamdani concluded that patriotism is anti-government street protests and righteous dissent. Mamdani accused ICE agents of terrorizing neighborhoods and kidnapping undocumented immigrants in unmarked vans. Zohran Mamdani said the U.S. was built on exploitation, bigotry, and prejudice and called it an "arena of supremacy" where oligarchs buy elections and landlords The article reports that Mamdani delivered a cynical address on July 3.
