The Wins are Piling Up for Trump!
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
In a weekend, President Trump announced a trade deal with China, helped prevent an all-out war between India and Pakistan, brokered an in-person meeting between Ukraine and Russia, announced an exec order to end Big Pharma US price gouging, and managed to free the last American hostage held by Hamas. He's also working on a deal with Iran as we speak.
And what did Democrats do besides storm an ICE detention facility?
Democrats fought ICE agents and staged an insurrection in the name of criminal illegal aliens and meanwhile President Trump and his team worked to free an American hostage held by a terror organization.
What a stark contrast!
It's also going to be rather interesting to hear Democrats try to spin ceasefires, trade deals, lowered prescription drug prices, peace talks and a hostage release into a negative…
But they will no doubt surely try!
President Trump is doing everything he said he was going to do and everything we elected him to do and Democrats can only throw tantrums.
We may never lose an election again!

Mahmoud Khalil: Trump admin wants to ‘make an example out of me'
Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil said during a recent appearance on CNN that President Trump's administration wanted use him as 'an example' after he was detained for over three months. 'It's absurd. It's basically to intimidate me. They want to conflate any speech for the right of Palestinians with a speech that's supporting terrorism, which is totally wrong,' Khalil, a green card holder and former Columbia University student, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. Federal immigration agents arrested Khalil in early March and he was detained for over 100 days. Khalil was not charged with a crime and ended up being released last month. Khalil's case was the first arrested in a push by the administration to crack down on foreign students protesting on college campuses against the Israel-Hamas war. 'The protests were peaceful. We're asking a simple ask to stop Columbia University and the U.S. complicity in the genocide that's happening in Gaza,' Khalil said. 'And that's why I see these accusations as intimidation.' 'This is what's happening or what happened to me and to others. And it's a message that they want to make an example out of me,' he added. 'Even if you are a legal resident, even if you are a citizen, actually that we will find a way to come after you.' Khalil's lawyers filed a claim on Thursday for $20 million in damages against the administration, contending that the Palestinian activist faced political retaliation for his activism. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Axios that Khali has 'consistently engaged in conduct detrimental to American foreign policy interests.' During the Friday interview, Khalil detailed his experience while in custody in Louisiana. 'I was shackled all the time. And my ankles as well. It felt like I was criminal. I did not know what charges they have against me. And, by the time I arrived in Louisiana, my leg was, was fully swollen, and I couldn't walk to enter the detention center,' he said on Friday. 'So it was very, very dehumanizing experience, for someone who was not accused of any crime, whatsoever,' he continued. Khalil said being denied temporary release to see his son, who was born this spring, was the 'most difficult moment in my life,' adding that it 'could have been avoided.' 'And it's a combination of anger and happiness. I was happy that I'm finally holding him in my hands, but at the same time angry at the system that deprives people from such important moments in their lives,' he said.

On NPR and at elite universities, liberals should openly admit their biases
I am a professor at a major research university. You'll be shocked to learn that I'm also a liberal Democrat. And here's another surprise: I listen to National Public Radio. Everyone knows that NPR caters mainly to liberals, just like our elite universities do. We just don't usually say it out loud. That's because we're afraid we might corroborate President Trump, who has repeatedly distorted what we do. But the only way to fight his lies is to be honest ourselves. Back in May, Trump signed an executive order instructing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting — which Congress created in 1967 — to stop funding NPR and the Public Broadcasting Service. According to a White House social media post that accompanied the order, NPR and PBS 'spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news.'' That's a propaganda statement in its own right. There is no evidence — none — that NPR spreads 'radical' falsehoods in its news coverage. But it does have a liberal bias. Indeed, it caters to people just like me. According to a 2019 Pew survey, 87 percent of people who name NPR as their main source of news are Democrats. Only 12 percent are Republicans. That's not a skew — it's a chasm. And yes, audience-capture influences NPR's news coverage. In a blockbuster piece last year, business editor Uri Berliner showed how the network's political blinders affected how it reported on allegations of collusion between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign, the origins of COVID-19 and the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. Berliner was placed on leave and resigned shortly after that. NPR did damage control. Instead of acknowledging the problems Berliner identified — and pledging to correct them — his bosses charged him with aiding and abetting the enemy. 'The next time one of our people calls up a Republican congressman … they may well say, 'Oh, I read these stories, you guys aren't fair, so I'm not going to talk to you,'' said NPR managing director Tony Cavin. Unfortunately, Cavin was right. A month after his executive order, Trump asked Congress to take back the $1.1 billion it had set aside for public broadcasters for the next two years. Next week the Senate will probably take up the proposal, which will expire if it isn't approved by July 18. But it is likely to pass, because Republicans hold a majority. But if NPR had just come clean last year instead of circling the wagons, things might be different now. It's not a radical propaganda outlet, but it definitely does lean Democratic. If we just admitted that, perhaps we could buy more credibility among the skeptics. Ditto for our elite universities, which continue to pretend that they're politically neutral. But everyone knows that's not true, either. At Harvard, which has faced the most brutal attacks from the Trump administration, 77 percent of faculty members identified as 'liberal' or 'very liberal' in a 2023 survey. Only 2.5 percent called themselves conservative. At Yale, likewise, liberal professors outnumber conservatives by 28 to 1. And if you think that doesn't influence the way we teach, you just haven't been listening. In a recent study of college syllabi collected by the Open Syllabus Project — which has amassed over 27 million syllabi from around the world — scholars at Claremont McKenna College showed that professors who assign left-leaning texts rarely couple them with readings that are critical of those interpretations. Between the World and Me, the best-selling memoir by African-American journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates, has been assigned in over 2,500 syllabi in the OSP database. But almost none of those syllabi also require readings from John McWhorter, Thomas Chatterton Williams, or the other prominent Black authors who have taken issue with Coates' claims about race, criminal justice and more. None of that means that universities are 'dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics,' as Trump has falsely alleged. Over half of the undergraduates at my university enter careers in finance or management consulting. If we're trying to make them into Marxists, we're doing a very poor job of it. But we are promoting a version of political liberalism. If we want to stave off Trump's lies — and, especially his vindictive cuts to our research grants — we need to tell the truth ourselves. I know some of my fellow Democrats will bridle at the idea of making any concessions in this battle. Admitting the political imbalances at NPR and at our universities can only feed our MAGA foes, or so the argument goes. But that gets things backwards. The job of journalists and academics is to critique the world, openly and honestly. And that includes critiquing our own institutions. If we stop doing that, to save our skins, we'll be granting the ultimate concession to Trump. He wants to stifle inquiry, debate and the free exchange of ideas. It would be a tragedy of we did the same, all in the guise of resisting him.

Hegseth falsely cited weapon shortages in halting shipments to Ukraine, Democrats say
Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, unilaterally halted an agreed shipment of military aid to Ukraine due to baseless concerns that US stockpiles of weapons have run too low, it has been reported. A batch of air defense missiles and other precision munitions were due to be sent to Ukraine to aid it in its ongoing war with Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbor in 2022. The aid was promised by the US during Joe Biden's administration last year. But the Pentagon halted the shipment, with NBC reporting that a decision to do so was made solely by Hegseth, Donald Trump's top defense official and a former Fox News weekend host who has previously come under pressure for sharing plans of a military strike in two group chats on the messaging app Signal, one of which accidentally included a journalist. Related: Hegseth announces new name of US navy ship that honored gay rights icon Harvey Milk Hegseth has now halted US military supplies to Ukraine on three occasions, NBC said, with the latest intervention purportedly coming due to concerns that the US's own weapons stockpile is running too low. When the president was asked about the pause in shipments to Ukraine by a reporter on Thursday, he claimed that it was necessary because 'Biden emptied out our whole country, giving them weapons, and we have to make sure we have enough for ourselves'. A White House spokesperson said last week that the decision 'was made to put America's interests first following a [defense department] review of our nation's military support and assistance to other countries across the globe. The strength of the United States armed forces remains unquestioned – just ask Iran.' 'This capability review,' Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell told reporters on Wednesday, 'is being conducted to ensure US military aid aligns with our defense priorities.' 'We see this as a commonsense, pragmatic step towards having a framework to evaluate what munitions are sent and where,' Parnell added. He also seemed to confirm that there is no current shortage of arms for US forces. 'Let it be known that our military has everything that it needs to conduct any mission, anywhere, anytime, all around the world,' he said. The decision surprised members of Congress, as well as Ukraine and the US's European allies. Democrats said there is no evidence that American weapon stocks are in decline. 'We are not at any lower point, stockpile-wise, than we've been in the three-and-a-half years of the Ukraine conflict,' Adam Smith, a Democrat and ranking member of the House armed services committee, told NBC. Smith said that his staff had 'seen the numbers' on weapon supplies and that there is no justification to suspend aid to Ukraine. The weapons being delayed include dozens of Patriot interceptor missiles that can defend against Russian missile attacks, as well as howitzers and other missile systems. Russia has recently stepped up its bombardment of Ukrainian cities, using missiles and drones to wreak havoc and terror among Ukrainian civilians. The delay in getting help to fend off these attacks is 'painful', a senior Ukrainian lawmaker said last week. 'This decision is certainly very unpleasant for us,' said Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of the Ukrainian parliament's defense committee, according to Reuters. 'It's painful, and against the background of the terrorist attacks which Russia commits against Ukraine.' The Department of Defense did not reply to a request for comment on the aid pause.
