President Trump notes the financial motives behind Elon Musk’s opposition to the Big Beautiful Bill.

[Source]

Musk has previously said his opposition to the bill stems from the fiscal spending and aggregate, unsustainable national debt issue.  However, as President Trump and NEC Director Kevin Hassett have noted, the debt issue is a combination of spending and growth.  The economic goals of the administration are to grow the economy at a GDP rate larger than 3%, while simultaneously using the Office of Management and Budget to curtail spending allotments from congress.

For those who have spent time in the lead up to this moment, you may remember our warning that Elon Musk would eventually take a position against President Trump and actively work to undermine the MAGA agenda therein.

Tonight as the Senate debates the Big Beautiful Bill, that does not include subsidies for his electric vehicles and green energy initiatives, Elon Musk promises to organize a third party.  This was all predictable.

The bill is imperfect, yes.  However, the BBB contains the priorities of President Trump and those priorities are the goals and objectives of the people who voted to support his vision.  Elon Musk is now actively working against the interests of the Make America Great Again movement, and he is intent on dividing the MAGA coalition.

As Robert F Kennedy Jr outlines all the bad things the Health and Human Services agency is doing, terrible vaccines, dangerous food additives, horrible health effects from toxic food chemicals, along with corruption, bribery and pay-to-play schemes within the medical advisory system, someone ought to tell him he’s the Health and Human Services Secretary now.

Secretary RFK JR sits down with Tucker Carlson to outline all the deleterious impacts from the processes that flow out of the healthcare system he now controls.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about this earlier today during her press briefing.

CNN is promoting an early warning system for cell phone users that alerts them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity.  In response, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said, “This sure looks like obstruction of justice. Our brave ICE law enforcement face a 500% increase in assaults against them. If you obstruct or assault our law enforcement, we will hunt you down and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

.

Apparently the Apple and Google stores have authorized the ICE Block app to be downloaded from their services.

There are a lot of vested financial interests in the human trafficking and illegal alien business.  This ICE Block app, is part of the system that perpetuates the exploitation and criminal illegal activity.  Given the nature of the national security interests involved, one has to wonder how this type of technology does not run afoul of the law.

UPDATE:  As noted, there could be positives.  Download the App., and if you encounter a long checkout line at WalMart, Home Depot, DMV or Post Office etc., activate the ICE alert and watch what happens.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pushed America-First, anti-terrorism, law and order into the center of the tourist visitor filter. Unstable extremists need not apply for visas to enter the USA, and anyone creating a social disturbance is subject to visa cancellation.

This is the same standard of behavior that is applied by all other countries for U.S. tourists in foreign visits; however, as Marco Rubio and the U.S. State Department enforce this expectation the domestic extremists and agitators are extremely agitated.

The latest example comes from a British punk/rap duo who decry American colonialism, profess severe antisemitism and promotion of violence. Recently, during a music festival in Britain, singer Bobby Vylan shouted, “Death, death to the IDF,” several times before turning the microphone toward the crowd to get attendees to repeat the chant. The IDF is the national military of Israel. Additionally, Vylan shouted “Free, Free, Free Palestine,” and again, had some in the crowd repeat what he said.

The State Dept has now cancelled their entry visa for their U.S. tour.

(Via Politico) – The State Department has revoked visas for a London-based punk duo set to tour the U.S. in October after the band led a crowd of festival-goers in England in calling for the death of the Israeli military over the weekend.

A horrible story.  A gunman started a fire in the mountains near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in order to bait firefighters to the area. Upon arrival to the area three firefighters were shot; two killed and other in serious condition following surgery.

Canfield Mountain is in Coeur d’Alene, which is in northwestern Idaho, about 30 miles from Spokane, Washington. The fire appeared to have been set as part of an “ambush,” and sheriff’s deputies took active sniper fire, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said. Authorities said during a press conference that a man was found dead on Canfield Mountain with a gun nearby. That man is believed to be the shooter, Norris said. Briefing:

Something lost amid the ‘western’ discussion of the issues with Iran and their nuclear ambitions, relates to the age of the current governing class of the Ayatollah and mullahs (assembly of experts).  Ali Khamenei is 86-years old, in unknown current health condition and has served as the Supreme Leader since 1989. He is somewhat of a ‘wizard of oz’ like caricature in the system.

Many people have begun to ponder if the reason why Iran refuses direct negotiations or contact with any foreign government, is related to the incapacity of Ali Khamenei. Is he technically in charge, or is he Bidenesque in capacity?

Within this interview, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, talks about the severity of the airstrikes carried out by the U.S and Israel, along with the consequential damage done to ability of Iran to continue developing nuclear weapons. WATCH:

[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: And we go now to the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, or the IAEA. Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, welcome to the program.
