Peace For Now
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
It appears both Israel AND Iran initially violated the ceasefire that was agreed upon and our president is clearly annoyed as he should be.
BUT for the Democrats and Trump haters to STILL insist this is WWIII, I think that's a bit of stretch, don't you?
Iran symbolically attacked our military base in Qatar, gave advance notice it was gonna do it to minimize any potential casualties and the US sustained no casualties.
That doesn't feel very WWIII-ish does it?
Look, I'm not saying this thing is definitely over and we can never put faith in Iran, BUT if a symbolic attack that resulted in zero US casualties or significant damage is the extent of the retaliation and this ceasefire holds, I'd say we are in a MUCH better spot than we were a week ago.
Yet, Democrats hate Trump so much even when things look good for America and good for the free world, they'll either privately or even publicly continue to root against our president because their TDS has caused such significant brain and soul ROT they can't even celebrate PEACE!

Trump says tariff letters to 12 countries signed, going out Monday
U.S. President Donald Trump said he had signed letters to 12 countries outlining the various tariff levels they would face on goods they export to the United States, with the "take it or leave it" offers to be sent out on Monday. Trump, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he traveled to New Jersey, declined to name the countries involved, saying that would be made public on Monday. Trump had earlier on Thursday told reporters that he expected a first batch of letters to go out on Friday, a national holiday in the United States, though the date has now shifted. In a global trade war that has upended financial markets and set off a scramble among policymakers to guard their economies, Trump in April announced a 10% base tariff rate and additional amounts for most countries, some ranging as high as 50%. However, all but the 10% base rate were subsequently suspended for 90 days to allow more time for negotiations to secure deals. That period ends on July 9, although Trump early on Friday said the tariffs could be even higher — ranging up to 70% — with most set to go into effect August 1. "I signed some letters and they'll go out on Monday, probably twelve," Trump said, when asked about his plans on the tariff front. "Different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs." Trump and his top aides initially said they would launch negotiations with scores of countries on tariff rates, but the U.S. president has soured on that process after repeated setbacks with major trading partners, including Japan and the European Union. He touched on that briefly late on Friday, telling reporters: "The letters are better ... much easier to send a letter." He did not address his prediction that some broader trade agreements could be reached before the July 9 deadline. The shift in the White House's strategy reflects the challenges of completing trade agreements on everything from tariffs to non-tariff barriers such as bans on agricultural imports, and especially on an accelerated timeline. Most past trade agreements have taken years of negotiations to complete. The only trade agreements reached to date are with Britain, which reached a deal in May to keep a 10% rate and won preferential treatment for some sectors including autos and aircraft engines, and with Vietnam, cutting tariffs on many Vietnamese goods to 20% from his previously threatened 46%. Many U.S. products would be allowed to enter Vietnam duty free. A deal expected with India has failed to materialize, and EU diplomats on Friday said they have failed to achieve a breakthrough in trade negotiations with the Trump administration, and may now seek to extend the status quo to avoid tariff hikes.

Republicans Issued Warning on 2026 Midterms
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Republicans have been warned that the party's recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could have dramatic repercussions in the 2026 midterm elections. Karl Rove, a longtime GOP strategist, said on Fox News's America's Newsroom: "I think it'll have a huge impact on 2026, because, remember, as these changes, particularly the Medicaid changes come into effect, they're going to have, people are going to be losing their coverage." Why It Matters President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, a taxation and spending package, narrowly passed the House of Representatives on Thursday by 218 votes against 214, having been approved by the Senate earlier in the week thanks to vice president JD Vance's tiebreaking vote. Trump signed the bill into law on Friday. The flagship legislation contains an array of tax and spending measures. Tax cuts Trump introduced in 2017 would be made permanent, while state and local tax deductions would increase from $10,000 to $40,000—primarily benefiting those living in high-tax states. The bill also includes additional funding for border security and the military and cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. It also raises the national debt ceiling and the Congressional Budget Office projects it will add $2.4 trillion to the U.S. federal debt. What To Know Republicans advanced sweeping policy changes with the bill, imposing 80-hour-per-month work requirements on able-bodied Medicaid recipients and introducing stricter eligibility checks. The legislation will reduce federal funding for Medicaid and food assistance, which is likely to result in millions losing coverage. Overall, Rove backed the legislation, commenting: "The able-bodied—think about it, there was an interesting study done of able-bodied people on Medicaid, and … you know what their No. 1 activity was if they weren't working? It was watching television. And No. 2 was playing online games." The GOP strategist praised work requirements but cautioned Republican leaders that "the work is just beginning," urging continued advocacy to justify these changes to voters. Rove said: "Medicaid was meant for poor seniors, for children in poor families, and for the disabled, and we should not be paying for health care for people who are able-bodied, and can work, and are refusing to work. This is why they got to go on the offense. But yeah, it's going to be a big impact." Meanwhile, Democrats and critics warn the cuts could energize opposition and threaten Republican lawmakers' control of Congress in closely divided districts. What People Are Saying Speaking to Newsweek Gianno Caldwell, a conservative commentator and Fox News contributor, said: "BBB [Big Beautiful Bill] is what the American people have been demanding for decades. Putting the American People First, less taxes, support of the working and middle classes and cutting taxes for every American. Trump kept his promise and the American people won." Mark Shanahan, an American politics expert who teaches at the University of Surrey in the U.K., told Newsweek: "The cuts to America's safety net may bite hardest. While the tightening of the rules around SNAP won't come into play until 2028, Democrats have the chance to weaponize the changes in Medicaid around work requirements, six-month reenrolments, and, especially, the cut in provider tax. "At an individual level, millions of poorer Americans—many firmly in the MAGA camp—will see their benefits cut, while, at community level, we're likely to see a slew of rural hospital closures. There are many more Americans on Medicaid than there are billionaires, and this bill skews heavily against the poor. The White House may have calculated that these people don't vote anyway, but history says Americans vote on how healthy their wallet feels. By November 2026, for many, their wallets may be on life support." File photo: President Donald Trump speaks to journalists aboard Air Force One on July 4, 2025. File photo: President Donald Trump speaks to journalists aboard Air Force One on July 4, 2025. BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/GETTY Dafydd Townley, a U.S. focused political scientist at the University of Portsmouth in southern England, told Newsweek: "The Big Beautiful Bill could prove costly to the Republican Party if the promised tax cut benefits are not felt universally. Concerns over Medicaid and the closure of rural hospitals are also unlikely to be welcomed but Republicans in close-fought districts. While there is likely to be some pushback against the incumbent party, the Republicans have a tiny majority in the House and will be determined to minimize this. If the House does flip to the Democrats in 2028, there will undoubtedly be two years of political stalemate as it's unlikely there will be any bipartisan collaboration, much like the last two years of the first Trump administration." Matt Terrill, a managing partner at consultancy firm Firehouse Strategies, told Newsweek: "This will be an asset to President Donald Trump and Republicans given this is the president delivering on the promises he made on the campaign trail—from tax cuts, to border security, etc., and those who voted for the president and congressional Republicans expected them to deliver on these core campaign promises. "In addition, this bill, particularly the tax cuts component, was crucial with respect to providing the president the ability to execute his economic agenda. Without this bill, he would not have been able to do so, and the upcoming midterm elections will primarily be about the economy. "However, for this to be a sustained win for the White House and for the GOP, particularly heading into the midterm elections, it comes down to where the economy will be over the next few months. Heading into the midterms, if the economy is strong, this bill will not just be a micro win but a macro win as well." What Happens Next The next midterm elections are scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Currently, the Republicans have a narrow majority in both the Senate and House and losing either would make it significantly more difficult to pass President Donald Trump's policy agenda.

Trump White House calls out Smithsonian for pushing 'one-sided, divisive political narratives'
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration is turning its attention to the Smithsonian Institution, accusing the taxpayer-funded museum complex of using federal dollars to promote what it calls "one-sided, divisive political narratives" that fail to honor the greatness of the American story. White House official Lindsey Halligan blasted content currently on display at the National Museum of American History's Entertainment Nation exhibit in an exclusive email to Fox News exhibit, which explores American pop culture, has drawn internal and external criticism for what some see as a politically loaded interpretation of cultural milestones. "American taxpayers should not be funding institutions that undermine our country or promote one-sided, divisive political narratives," Halligan said. "The Smithsonian Institution should present history in a way that is accurate, balanced, and consistent with the values that make the United States of America exceptional."DONALD TRUMP FIRES NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY DIRECTOR FOR BEING 'STRONG SUPPORTER' OF DEI The White House statement comes on the heels of several striking examples from the exhibit. One placard, featured alongside a 1923 circus poster, reads: "Under the big top, circuses expressed the colonial impulse to claim dominion over the world." Another, describing early American entertainment, declares: "One of the earliest defining traits of entertainment in the United States was extraordinary violence." The exhibit reframes iconic American characters through a critical, politically-charged lens. On The Lone Ranger, the display states: "The White title character's relationship with Tonto resembled how the U.S. government imagined itself the world's Lone Ranger." Mickey Mouse, a beloved American cultural icon, is not spared either. A display for the 1928 cartoon Steamboat Willie states, "Mickey challenged authority, but not everyone was in on the joke." It continues: "Mickey Mouse debuted as the deckhand 'Steamboat Willie' in 1928, amidst a rising anxiety felt by many that modern living and city life were eroding family and community ties and loosening moral codes… But the new character's outsized facial features, white gloves, and trickster temperament were vestiges of longstanding traditions of blackface minstrelsy." In reference to the Indiana Jones film series, another panel reads: "His character embodied a confident righteousness that, in many ways, captured the essence of the 1980s" above another subhead referencing President Ronald Reagan's famous speech, asking, "Are you better off?"KENT STATE STUDENT'S VIOLENT ANTI-TRUMP ART DISPLAY SPURS OUTRAGE One panel calls Magnum, P.I. a challenge to the "popular perceptions of Vietnam veterans as damaged misfits." A section on Jon Stewart's Daily Show refers to it as "the go-to for viewers who mistrusted politicians and the reporting process." Another panel highlights the late pop star Selena Quintanilla-Pérez and frames her cultural impact through identity politics. "Selena got us talking about identity," with a quote from the late singer reading, "I feel very proud to be Mexican." The text goes on to say her work "cast a light on the longstanding cultural and growing political influence of Mexican American and Latinx communities within the United States." "The examples [Fox News Digital] highlighted from the National Museum of American History are part of the problem the Trump Administration aims to fix," Halligan said. "Framing American culture as inherently violent, imperialist, or racist does not reflect the greatness of our nation or the millions of Americans who have contributed to its progress." Halligan confirmed that a top-to-bottom content review is already underway, with input from senior Smithsonian leaders and the Board of Regents. "We are working with leadership at the Smithsonian to audit and review all content at the museums," she said, "and we are committed to ensuring that such content honors our country's founding principles, tells the stories of American heroes, and does not promote fringe or activist ideologies masquerading as history." She added, "We will provide updates on this audit as our progress unfolds." The Smithsonian Institution responded to Fox News Digital with the following brief written statement: "The museum is committed to continuous and rigorous scholarship and research and unbiased presentation of facts and history. As such, and as previously announced, we are assessing content in Smithsonian museums and will make any necessary changes to ensure our content meets our standards." The Institution did not answer specific questions regarding who authored the Entertainment Nation exhibit, whether outside academic consultants or activist organizations were involved, or who made the decision to present all exhibit text bilingually in English and Spanish. The controversy comes amid a broader push by President Donald Trump to reshape cultural institutions he says have veered too far left. In March, Trump issued an executive order directing the Board of Regents to eliminate "improper, divisive or anti-American ideology" from Smithsonian museums. He accused the institution of embracing what he called "a revisionist movement" aimed at "undermining the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light." The Board of Regents includes the vice president, the chief justice of the United States, six members of Congress, and nine citizen regents. Vice President J.D. Vance and Congressman Carlos Giménez, both recent appointees, have advocated for an expedited review of Smithsonian content. Giménez, in a prior interview with The Wall Street Journal, confirmed tensions at the board's June meeting over how quickly to proceed, though ultimately a compromise was reached. The Smithsonian receives approximately two-thirds of its $1 billion annual budget from federal appropriations. The Entertainment Nation exhibit opened in December 2022 and was billed as a permanent exhibition to "celebrate the power of popular culture to shape and reflect history." It is housed in a prime space on the museum's west wing and features artifacts and media from movies, television, sports, and music. While the museum's stated goal is to explore how entertainment intersects with American identity, the Trump administration argues that it instead uses culture to smuggle in ideology often at odds with the values most Americans hold. "Americans deserve a Smithsonian that inspires national pride, tells the truth, and reflects the greatness of this country," Halligan said. "Not one that serves as an agent for social change and cultural subversion."
