• Texas Flooding Disaster: At Least 104 Dead, Rescue Efforts Ongoing

    Devastating flooding in Texas has claimed the lives of at least 104 people, with search and rescue teams continuing to comb through submerged areas in hopes of finding survivors. Entire communities remain underwater, and the full scale of destruction is still unfolding.

    Authorities report that hundreds are missing, and infrastructure failures are complicating relief efforts. This is one of the deadliest flood events in modern Texas history.

    Our thoughts are with every family affected. But this is more than a weather event—it’s a national infrastructure failure, and the consequences are deadly.

    When will we stop reacting late and start preparing early?

    Failed zoning
    Aging dams and drainage
    Disconnected disaster response
    Urban sprawl without rural readiness

    America must treat infrastructure like life support—not a political talking point.

  • TSA to End Shoe Removal Policy at Select Airport Checkpoints

    According to a federal source, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer require passengers to remove their shoes at certain U.S. airport checkpoints. The change will roll out gradually, starting with airports that adopt newer CT scanning tech and biometric pre-screening systems.

    The move aims to improve speed and convenience—but privacy advocates warn it may come at the cost of expanded surveillance and pre-clearance tracking.

    So the trade-off is this:
    No more removing your shoes...
    But say hello to facial scans, biometric profiling, and AI-driven traveler scoring.

    This isn’t about comfort. It’s about control.

  • Here’s How Much Trump’s Pardons and Commutations Have Cost the Federal Government

    A new report claims that Donald Trump’s pardons and commutations may have cost the federal government millions in lost fines, legal appeals, and supervision costs. Critics argue that many of the recipients were political allies or celebrity offenders, not wrongfully convicted citizens.

    But here’s the truth they leave out:

    The cost of a pardon isn’t the problem.
    The real waste is the DOJ's budget being weaponized against political enemies while cartel traffickers walk free.
    Meanwhile, January 6 defendants rot in pretrial cells while fentanyl dealers cut plea deals.

    If we’re talking dollars, let’s audit DOJ grants, FBI slush funds, and fake domestic terror task forces before crying over paperwork costs for clemency.

  • BREAKING: Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Clears Final House Vote — $4.5 Trillion Mega-Package Heads to Desk for July 4 Signing
    In a major political win, former President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion “One Big Beautiful Bill” just passed the House in a narrow 218–214 vote, setting the stage for a July 4th signing ceremony.

    The bill locks in Trump-era tax cuts, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, raises the SALT cap, and expands the child tax credit.
    But it also slashes $1 trillion from Medicaid, cuts SNAP benefits, and devotes billions to defense and immigration enforcement.

    Trump personally called lawmakers around the clock, warning holdouts they'd face primary challengers backed by his $1.4B war chest.

    Critics say it’s a gift to the rich that could strip 11–13 million people of health coverage.
    Supporters call it a new era of “America First” economic relief.

    Signing expected July 4. Battle lines are drawn.
