America 250 is proud to join a monumental July 4th celebration, kicking off a new era of American greatness, featuring special remarks by President Donald J. Trump. This 250th anniversary kick-off event will take place at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, offering patriotism, excitement, inspiration, and a glimpse into the grand festivities planned for America’s 250th anniversary year.
Additionally, the White House has announced that President Trump will be signing the Big Beautiful Bill in the White House on July 4th at 5:00pm. Good stuff. The livestream links to the celebration day event today are below. Anticipated start time 4:30pm ET.

President Trump speaks to reporters before departing Joint Base Andrews en route to Des Moines, Iowa, following the House of Representatives vote to send the Big Beautiful Bill to his Desk.
President Trump was asked about promises made to the GOP holdouts, the talk earlier today with Vladimir Putin, his thoughts and opinions of the Big Beautiful Bill overall, the ongoing issues with Iran and new trade agreements.
President Trump noted he was planning to send letters of notification to approximately 100 countries letting them know their tariff rate effective July 9th. Any nation not currently in trade negotiations with the U.S. will be given a notice of their import tariff rate; remember the baseline is 10% minimum for every nation – even those with FTAs.

You guys know the background. You know the context. You know the history. You know all the nuances and Machiavellian manipulations that have brought us to this very specific moment.
Now, you are President Donald Trump and you are in a conversation with Vladimir Putin; a geopolitical ‘adversary’ whose current status was created by the same intelligence system operators that created your defined ‘enemy’ status within your own country. You and Putin were both targeted by the same intelligence system, the CIA.
President Putin is essentially ambivalent to your targeted position, but defines his adversary as your Central Intelligence Agency. You want to cut the Gordian knot, change the geopolitical world, create a strategic alignment; but to do that you need Putin to accept you do not view him as the enemy. You also need to prove you have control over the apparatus he views as a threat. How do you prove you have control over the agency?
Perhaps President Trump instructs the CIA to send one public message. A message that: #1) outlines the CIA’s dual targeting of Trump and Putin; #2) that simultaneously proves your control over the CIA silo.
Was this the motive for the timing of the message from CIA Director John Ratcliffe?
Huge win. President Donald J Trump is officially unleashed. Good stuff.
The final vote to pass the Big Beautiful Bill was 218 to 214. The vote was almost entirely along party lines. Only Republican Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-Ukraine) and Thomas Massie (KY-Sea Isl) joined Democrats in opposition to the bill.

Hang on to your bootstraps folks, your ability to withstand extreme winning is soon to be tested.
Who gets the first call?
The House of Representatives has voted to advance President Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion “big, beautiful bill” to its final phase in Congress. After a long night of debate and amendment votes, the House is set to deliver the final vote this morning.
After it appeared to be derailed late Wednesday by hard-right holdouts, Republicans advanced the bill around 3:30 a.m. and are set to vote on final passage. During the all-nighter, GOP leaders kept the procedural vote open for almost six hours as they worked to flip 12 votes. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) was the lone Republican to vote “no” at the end.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

… Put yourself in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s shoes against the backdrop of 35 previously exiled Russian officials from the United States as a result of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment and Joint Analysis Report {BACKGROUND}.
QUESTION: What exactly would Vladimir Putin think about this admission from the CIA?
CIA Director John Ratcliffe admits the former CIA and FBI fabricated the intelligence that led to the expulsion of Russian officials under the false premise of Russia “hacking” the 2016 election. Why now?
How would Putin interpret this very public message?
Then, consider the sequence….
House Speaker Mike Johnson asked about what the White House is doing to support the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill. Speaker Johnson notes the administration officials are working through the resistance. WATCH:
