🦅 American News 📰

Israel Strikes Iran Nuclear Sites

• Explosions rocked Tehran as Israel launched a large-scale military strike on Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure. The operation, called “Rising Lion,” hit key targets including enrichment facilities and top scientists. Israel’s leaders warned that Iran was close to building a nuclear bomb and claimed they had no other choice. With retaliation expected and oil prices already spiking, this could drag the U.S. deeper into a foreign war we never voted for.

Feds Prepare for Protest Crackdown

• The DOJ has warned all U.S. Attorneys to brace for federal charges as anti-Trump protests erupt nationwide. Tensions are boiling ahead of a military parade in D.C., which critics say is a birthday show of power for the president. Violent riots in cities like Los Angeles and New York have already set the stage for chaos.

💸 The "Economy" 📉

Jobless Claims Spike Again

• Unemployment filings just hit an eight-month high, signaling real trouble ahead in the job market. Layoffs are growing across key states like California and New York, especially in white-collar sectors. Continuing claims surged past expectations, showing that workers aren’t landing new jobs quickly. Despite the media spin, the economy is cracking beneath the surface.

Blue States Hit Hardest By Inflation

• Inflation is burning hotter in Democrat-run coastal cities, while Republican states in the South see relief. Cities like San Diego and New York are posting price hikes double that of Texas and Arkansas. Housing costs are the biggest driver, crushing urban budgets already weighed down by bad policy. Turns out, voting blue comes with a hefty price tag.

 🌎 Geopolitics 🪖

Trump Relocates Troops Over Iran

• U.S. personnel are being pulled from the Middle East as tensions with Iran climb and nuclear talks break down. President Trump warned that Iran will never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, even as he presses Israel to delay a strike. Iran has threatened U.S. bases across the region, promising swift retaliation if attacked. With diplomacy fading and both sides digging in, war is moving from possibility to probability.

Russia Demands NATO Withdrawal

• Russia now says it won’t end the war in Ukraine unless NATO pulls troops out of Eastern Europe. The Kremlin insists NATO expansion triggered the conflict and continues to threaten Russian security. Moscow’s latest demand draws a hard line, challenging the West to either back down or risk permanent confrontation. With Europe on edge and diplomacy collapsing, the road ahead looks cold and costly.
