Pakistan To Nominate Trump For Nobel Prize

A huge honor…

The government of Pakistan said Friday it would nominate President Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize while lauding his contributions to global peace.

Last month, the Trump administration intervened in a brief conflict between India and Pakistan after the former struck the latter in what it described as retaliatory strikes, killing dozens. 

“At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond,” the government of Pakistan wrote in a Friday statement on the social media platform X. 

After Pakistan announced the nomination, Trump shared a grim outlook on his chances of obtaining recognition from an international award for conflict intervention hours after securing a treaty between Rwanda and the Congo.

“No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!” Trump wrote in a Friday Truth Social post. 

Former President Obama is the last sitting president to receive a Nobel Peace Prize for international diplomacy in 2009, eight months into his first term. 

“President Trump’s leadership during the 2025 Pakistan India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building,” the government wrote.

“Pakistan remains hopeful that his earnest efforts will continue to contribute towards regional and global stability, particularly in the context of ongoing crises in the Middle East, including the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the deteriorating escalation involving Iran,” they added. 

In May, missiles from India killed 31 people and injured 57 in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and the country’s Punjab province, according to the Pakistani military. 

Amid the turmoil, Trump told foreign partners, “If I can do anything to help, I will be there,” while Vice President Vance said the conflict was “none of our business” as threats of war between the two nuclear powers crescendoed.

Days later, Trump announced that India and Pakistan agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire with the help of U.S. mediation.

Pakistan’s government said his efforts were a sign of the leader’s commitment to stability and peace.

Former Coast Guard Officer Arrested After Allegedly Threatening To Assassinate Trump

A former Coast Guard lieutenant was recently arrested for allegedly making threats to kill President Donald Trump.

Peter Stinson, a Virginia resident and retired U.S. Coast Guard officer, has been charged with making threats to assassinate former President Donald Trump, according to a newly unsealed FBI affidavit.

Stinson, who served from 1988 to 2021 and held posts as a sharpshooter and FEMA instructor, allegedly made numerous violent and graphic threats across multiple social media platforms over the past year. He is now facing a federal charge of making threats against a former U.S. president — a serious federal crime — and is scheduled to make his first court appearance this Wednesday.

The affidavit, filed Friday and reviewed by multiple news outlets, alleges that Stinson made detailed threats involving guns, poison, and knives. His posts were discovered by the FBI through monitoring of open-source platforms, including BlueSky, X (formerly Twitter), and others.

In a particularly disturbing May 9 post, Stinson reportedly stated that Trump needed to be “[L]uigied,” — a dark reference to Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2023. Authorities allege that Stinson used the nickname as a coded call for violence.

In another post, Stinson reportedly doubted his own capability to carry out such an act, saying he “lacked the necessary skills,” only to contradict himself by hinting he wasn’t “being entirely truthful.”

Federal officials also cite at least 13 references to “8647,” a number they believe ties back to a 2020 Instagram post made by former FBI Director James Comey, which some in the media interpreted as an oblique threat toward Trump. That post led to an internal review by the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service, though no public charges were brought at the time.

Stinson openly identified as a member of Antifa, the loosely organized far-left extremist network that has been associated with political violence in cities such as Portland, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.

On February 2, he allegedly wrote on X:

“Sure. This is war. Sides will be drawn. Antifa always wins in the end. Violence is inherently necessary.”

Despite Antifa being linked to multiple incidents of property destruction and direct confrontations with law enforcement, mainstream media and some political leaders have often downplayed or denied its organized nature. However, federal law enforcement continues to monitor Antifa activity as a potential domestic threat.

Stinson’s last cited threat came just days before the affidavit was filed, in a June 11 post on BlueSky. He reportedly wrote:

“When he dies, the party is going to be yuge.”

Stinson has been formally charged with making threats against a former president and could face years in federal prison if convicted. The U.S. Secret Service and DHS are continuing to investigate his digital footprint and any possible associates.

He is scheduled to appear in court for an initial hearing this week.

    The Trump Organization has announced its latest business venture…

    The Trump Organization announced Monday it is launching a new mobile phone business: Trump Mobile.

    Donald Trump Jr., the president’s oldest son, announced the new initiative along with his brother Eric Trump, on the 10th anniversary of their father’s first announcing he was running for president, from Trump Tower in New York City.

    Trump Jr. said the business group felt the mobile phone industry was another era in which there had been “lackluster performance” and in which there could be an opportunity to provide tech to an audience that is “underserved.”

    With Trump Mobile, Trump Jr. said “we’re going to be introducing an entire package of products.”

    He said at a press event that it would allow people to “get telemedicine on their phones for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance for their cars,” and “unlimited texting for 100 countries around the world.”

    “We think we’re going to be giving something unique to the American people,” he said.

    A release regarding Trump Mobile said it would offer 5G service through all three major cellular carriers. Its flagship offering is also linked to the president: The 47 Plan.

    It gives consumers the offerings of Trump Mobile for $47.45 per month, a price point that remarks on Trump’s time as the nation’s 45th and 47th president.

    “Trump Mobile is going to change the game, we’re building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service,” Trump Jr. said in a press statement. “Our company is based right here in the United States because we know it’s what our customers want and deserve.”

    The announcement also said the Trump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, describing it as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.”ump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, describing it as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.”

    Florida Attorney General Held In Contempt After Defending Trump Immigration Agenda

    A federal judge has found that Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier was in civil contempt of court over her ruling to pause a new state law making it a crime for people living in the U.S. illegally to enter the state.

    U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams ordered on April 29 that Uthmeier show cause on “why he should not be held in contempt or sanctioned” for violating a temporary restraining order (TRO) from the court, though Williams ultimately decided he was unable to convince her otherwise.

    “If being held in contempt is what it costs to defend the rule of law and stand firmly behind President Trump’s agenda on illegal immigration, so be it,” Uthmeier said Tuesday in a post on X.

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation into law in February that made it a misdemeanor for illegal immigrants to enter the state as part of President Donald Trump’s push to crack down on illegal immigration.

    But on April 4, Williams issued a 14-day TRO in response to the law, following a lawsuit filed by the Florida Immigrant Coalition and other groups. She then extended the TRO another 11 days after learning the Florida Highway Patrol had arrested over a dozen people, including a U.S. citizen.

    The court said on April 18 that Florida law enforcement officers were bound by the TRO, preventing them from enforcing the criminal immigration law.

    The court also ordered the attorney general to provide notice to all law enforcement officers, which Uthmeier initially complied with.

    On April 23, he sent a follow-up letter telling the law enforcement community that “no judicial order…properly restrains you from” enforcing the immigration law, adding that “no lawful, legitimate order currently impedes your agencies from continuing to enforce” the statute.

    As a result, the court required Uthmeier to show cause as to why he should not be held in contempt for violating the TRO.

    Following his response, the court opined that litigants cannot change the meaning of words as it suits them, ruling that Uthmeier was in contempt of the court’s April 18 order to provide the TRO to law enforcement officers regarding the enforcement of the immigration law.

    As such, the court ordered Uthmeier to file bi-weekly reports detailing arrests, detentions or law enforcement actions when it comes to the immigration law prohibiting undocumented immigrants from entering the state of Florida, with the first being filed by July 1.

    Trump Says He Rejected Putin’s Offer to Help Negotiate Israel-Iran Conflict

    Trump is not quite ready to get his hands dirty…

    On Wednesday, President Trump said he had declined an offer from Russian leader Vladimir Putin to help with negotiations with Iran and Israel.

    President Donald Trump spoke about the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict during an impromptu press conference on the White House lawn on Wednesday after he visited with some construction workers putting up new flag poles on the ground.

    At one point in the exchange, Trump boasted about the U.S. achieving dominance over Iran’s skies before pivoting to discuss a recent phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    “I mean, they’re totally defenseless. They have no air defense whatsoever. They’re totally captured. You know, we’ve totally captured the air,” Trump said of Iran’s airspace.

    Trump then called on a reporter for another question, who asked, “Mr. President, you’ve been fairly compassionate towards the Iranian people—”

    “I know a lot of people from Iran, from New York, from Washington, mostly from New York. They are incredible people. They’re smart, they’re energetic, they can be difficult, but so can you. You know, they are great people, smart people. And those people are getting the hell beat out of them now. And it’s really a shame. It’s so stupid. It’s stupid. This is another one. You know, Russia-Ukraine is so stupid, would have never happened if I was president,” Trump replied.

    “You guys agree with that, right?” added the president, turning to the construction workers for reassurance.

    “Would have never happened if I were president. Putin wouldn’t have done it. And I spoke to him yesterday, and I said, you know, he actually offered to help mediate. I said, ‘Do me a favor. Mediate your own. Let’s mediate Russia first, OK?’ I said, ‘Vladimir. Let’s mediate Russia first. You can worry about this later.’ But I think that’s going to work out, too, but so many people have been killed. The big thing with that one is far more people are dead than have been reported in the Ukraine-Russia. Many, many more people. A building falls down, they say nobody was hurt, you know. So, it’s ridiculous,” Trump concluded.

    A different reporter then asked, “What does ‘unconditional surrender’ mean?”

    “Well, you know what it means, ‘unconditional surrender.’ Two very simple words. A very simple, ‘unconditional surrender.’ That means I’ve had it. Okay, I’ve had it, I give up, no more. Then we go blow up all the nuclear stuff that’s all over the place there. No, they had bad intentions. You know, for 40 years they’ve been saying, ‘Death to America, Death to Israel,’ death to anybody else that they didn’t like,” Trump replied

    Watch:

    The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rejected President Donald Trump’s calls for unconditional surrender on Wednesday.

    “It isn’t wise to tell the Iranian nation to surrender,” he posted to X. “What should the Iranian nation surrender to? We will never surrender in response to the attacks of anyone. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. This is the spirit of the Iranian nation.”

    In another tweet, he criticized Trump for his “absurd rhetoric” and “demands that the Iranian people surrender to him,” adding that he should “make threats against those who are afraid of being threatened. The Iranian nation isn’t frightened by such threats.”

    So far, Israel has killed at least 20 of Iran’s top military leaders, damaged key nuclear facilities, destroyed more than a third of Iran’s missile launchers, and hit over 1,100 targets around Iran.

    Noem Hospitalized After Allergic Reaction; Biohazard Lab Visit Under Scrutiny

    On the evening of Tuesday, June 17, 2025, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was rushed by ambulance to a Washington, D.C. hospital after suffering what officials described as an allergic reaction. According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Noem was treated “out of an abundance of caution” and remains in stable condition.

    The medical emergency drew swift attention — not only because of Noem’s high-profile cabinet role, but also due to the timing. Just one day earlier, she had visited the Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick, Maryland, a high-security federal lab that handles some of the world’s most dangerous pathogens, including Ebola and SARS-CoV-2. She was accompanied on the tour by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

    The Fort Detrick facility has been under scrutiny in recent months. In April, it was temporarily shut down following safety concerns involving possible tampering with personal protective equipment. Though the lab has since resumed operations, the incident left lingering questions about oversight and internal protocols.

    While the proximity of Noem’s hospital visit to her tour of the lab has sparked speculation, DHS downplayed any connection. Officials stressed there is no indication the allergic reaction had anything to do with the biohazard site, and current evidence points to coincidence, not causation.

    Still, the lack of detail surrounding Noem’s condition — and the decision to visit to a facility recently flagged for a safety lapse — has fueled speculation. Noem has not issued a public statement since the incident, though an official told the Associated Press that the secretary is “alert and recovering.”

    Security around the hospital was visibly heightened following Noem’s arrival, with multiple eyewitnesses reporting Secret Service personnel stationed at emergency entrances and perimeter points.

    As of now, Noem remains under medical supervision, and DHS has indicated she will resume duties once cleared by her doctors. The department has not disclosed whether additional tests are being conducted to rule out environmental or chemical triggers.

    What We Know — and Don’t

    The facts are straightforward, even if the full picture isn’t: Secretary Noem had an acute medical event. She had just visited a facility known for housing lethal biological agents. There’s no official link between the two events. But in an era when institutional trust runs thin and information gaps invite conspiracy theories, the sequence of events is likely to keep this story alive longer than a typical health scare.

    For now, DHS says Noem is recovering and expected to make a full recovery. But until more details emerge — from medical professionals or Noem herself — the story will likely remain a focus of intense public interest.

    Texas Defunds Border Wall Construction

    In a disappointing turn for border security advocates, the Texas Legislature has officially canceled the state’s ambitious effort to build its own border wall — a project that Gov. Greg Abbott hailed in 2021 as a bold step toward protecting Texans in the absence of meaningful federal action. Despite allocating more than $3 billion to the initiative, only about 65 miles of wall — much of it scattered in rural areas — has been completed.

    Gov. Abbott launched the state-funded wall project in December 2021 after Biden administration inaction left Texans on the front lines of an escalating border crisis. At the time, Texas was the first state to attempt such a massive undertaking — one born out of necessity as illegal crossings surged and federal authorities turned a blind eye.

    Standing beside towering steel beams at the border, Abbott made it clear that Texas would do what President Biden refused to: secure the southern border. “It’s heavy and it’s wide,” he said. “People aren’t making it through those steel bars.” He was right — but it turns out they didn’t have to. Thanks to landowner restrictions, bureaucratic red tape, and court battles, the wall was never continuous. Instead, it became a patchwork of isolated segments that migrants — and cartels — could easily walk around.

    According to The Texas Tribune, only 8% of the 805 miles identified for construction have been completed. Those segments — largely concentrated on privately owned ranches — often sit in remote areas with lower migrant traffic. In other words, the federal government’s refusal to act left the state with the toughest and most expensive terrain, forcing Texas to play defense on the hardest frontlines with both hands tied.

    And while the total cost of the wall project now stands at more than $3 billion, legislators pulled the plug quietly, slipping the decision into the final state budget without debate or public notice.

    The 2025-26 state budget, passed in early June, includes a substantial $3.4 billion allocation for border security — but none of that will fund further wall construction. Instead, those resources are being redirected to Operation Lone Star, Abbott’s ongoing border crackdown that mobilizes Texas Department of Public Safety officers and National Guard troops to deter illegal crossings and apprehend migrants.

    Sen. Joan Huffman (R), who led budget negotiations, defended the shift, stating that wall construction “should have always been a function of the federal government.” Texas had stepped up, she said, because Washington had failed — and continued to fail.

    Some GOP lawmakers have raised concerns not about the need for border security, but about the strategic wisdom of funding isolated wall segments. Sen. Bob Hall (R-Edgewood) questioned whether lawmakers were spending billions “to give the appearance of doing something rather than taking the problem on to actually solve it.” Sen. Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) was more blunt, calling it a “hamster wheel” strategy.

    Liberal News Hosts In Hot Water Over Insulting Comments About Trump Wives

    Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross mocked First Lady Melania Trump during a CNN debate on President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown with some thinly-veiled sexual innuendo about “unique talent.”

    By The White House – https://www.flickr.com/photos/202101414@N05/54426560683/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=163105965

    On Tuesday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel that included Cross, Shermichael Singleton, Ana Kasparian, Ana Navarro, and Jim Schultz to discuss Trump’s immigration policy, specifically the increase in deportations under his watch.

    Cross let loose on Melania as a “former nude model” who scored an “Einstein visa” of dubious merit, and on White House senior adviser Stephen Miller as a “White nationalist” running the show:

    SCHULTZ: It’s inaction by Congress as to versus to why he starts, you know, thinking about it this way. You know, he has to almost legislate from the executive branch on this because no one’s doing anything about it.

    PHILLIP: He could also — he could also —

    SCHULTZ: Close the border.

    PHILLIP: But, you know, he could also lead — he could also lead and say, hey, Congress — that my party controls and the House and the Senate. Put a bill together. Put something on the table because —

    CROSS: He has a — people loyal — anyone of the people would have —

    UNKNOWN: I don’t think he’d get a bill passed. I don’t think he would get a bill passed.

    CROSS: I don’t think it’s even an effort to do that. But I just want to remind the viewers, his wife herself, a former nude model, got the Einstein visa to come over here, completely usurp the immigration system. What was her unique talent? I wonder that she was able to get that.

    Furthermore, he’s increasing these — these deportations because he’s trying to be competitive with his predecessor, who I’m ashamed to say, Obama, who they called deporter-in-chief because he deported so many people, 430 something thousand, I believe, was the height of the year 2013.

    Watch:

    The White House slammed former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta after a cruel joke about President Donald Trump’s late ex-wife Ivana during a politically charged tirade about immigration on a YouTube podcast.

    Appearing on The Contrarian alongside hosts Jennifer Rubin and April Ryan for their “No Kings”-themed broadcast, Acosta took aim at Trump’s deportation raids and jibed that he had a history of marrying immigrants, including Ivana Trump, who died in 2022 and is buried at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

    “How many immigrants has he married?” Acosta asked. “He’s got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn’t she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that?”

    Laughter followed from Rubin and Ryan as Acosta piled on: “Immigrants always doing the jobs that Americans don’t want to do!”

    The clip, flagged on X by journalist Jason Cohen, quickly drew outrage from the right and condemnation from the White House.

    Press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Acosta in a comment to Fox News Digital, saying: “Jim Acosta is a disgraceful human being.”

    Pentagon Official Removed From Joint Chiefs Of Staff

    A Pentagon official has been removed from his role with the Joint Chiefs of Staff after his anti-Israel social media posts were brought to light

    Colonel Nathan McCormack, who was tasked with helping advise the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Israel-related matters, was immediately fired after his anti-Israel posts were uncovered.

    McCormack, who was the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 planning directorate, according to his LinkedIn, posted several controversial tweets on his X account. He called Israel a “death cult” and referred to the Israeli government as “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies,” among other things, Jewish News Syndicate reported.

    A Joint Staff official told The Daily Wire that the Department of Defense said McCormack was removed from his position with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and that the matter is being handed over to the U.S. Army for further action.

    “Our global alliances and partnerships are vital to our national security, enhancing our collective defense, deterrence, and operational reach,” the official said.

    McCormack’s semi-anonymous account has been deleted following JNS’s report.

    The J5 directorate of the Joint Chiefs of Staff advises the chairman of the Joint Chiefs on military strategy, planning, and policy across a wide range of national security issues. McCormack’s role tasked him with preparing senior leadership to speak with partner nations —including Israel.

    McCormack made the posts on an X account where he calls himself “Nate,” but has posted several times about his job and even shared a photo of his Meritorious Service Medal certificate.

    Since assuming his position — which his LinkedIn says he began in June 2024 — McCormack has posted numerous times about his views on the Jewish state, especially after Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israeli civilians.

    “The Western states go to great lengths to avoid criticism of Israel, much out of Holocaust guilt,” McCormack tweeted in April.

    In May, he posted that “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies are determined to prolong the conflict for their own goals: either to remain in power or to annex the land.”

    In April 2024, McCormack questioned if the United States was a proxy of Israel.

    “I’ve lately been considering whether we might be Israel’s proxy and not realized it yet,” he posted. “Our worst ‘ally.’ We get literally nothing out of the ‘partnership’ other than the enmity of millions of people in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.”

    McCormack has also disclosed details about his official duties on the account, claiming in August 2024 that “we” warned Israel it would be “fuxked” if it escalated into an offensive against Lebanon. Despite the warning, Israel launched an invasion two months later and decimated the terrorist group Hezbollah. He also shared information about his conversations and briefings with Israeli Defense Forces officers.

    McCormack’s account also shared information about his movements and work trips being canceled, according to JNS.

    The Department of Defense has strict social media guidelines, including telling service members to “avoid use of Department of Defense titles, insignia, uniforms or symbols in a way that could imply DoD sanction or endorsement of content on your personal page.”

    Appeals Panel Affirms Former Trump Lawyer’s Disbarment Over 2020 Election Efforts

      California appellate disciplinary panel upheld the recommendation to disbar constitutional law scholar and former Trump legal adviser John Eastman. The panel’s decision follows an earlier March 2024 ruling by Judge Yvette Roland of the State Bar Court, which found Eastman culpable of misconduct related to his legal strategies in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

      Eastman, a longtime legal academic and former dean of Chapman University Law School, has been a prominent figure in election-related litigation. At the heart of the case was Eastman’s advocacy for then-President Donald Trump, particularly his role in questioning the certification of electoral votes and exploring constitutional mechanisms related to vice-presidential authority during the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021.

      The Review Department, which affirmed Roland’s ruling, concluded Eastman committed “multiple acts of moral turpitude” by making what it called “false and misleading statements” in legal filings. It alleged he advanced “frivolous” claims of voter fraud and helped develop a plan to urge Vice President Mike Pence to delay or refuse the certification of electoral results.

      “Eastman’s actions undermined democracy itself,” the panel wrote in a sweeping conclusion.

      Unless overturned by the California Supreme Court, the ruling effectively disbars Eastman — suspending his law license and disqualifying him from practicing in the state.

      Read the court’s opinion via Law & Crime

      Eastman and his legal team have vigorously defended his actions as protected legal advocacy and free speech. During the proceedings, Eastman stated:

      “To accuse me of making false statements runs afoul of my First Amendment right to raise questions.”

      His attorneys argued that Eastman was performing his professional duty — raising constitutional questions and advocating for his client — not misleading courts or the public. However, the appellate panel rejected this argument, claiming he had gone beyond legal theorizing into knowingly advancing false claims.

      Eastman’s legal team has vowed to appeal to the California Supreme Court, which has the authority to accept or reject the disbarment recommendation. If the ruling is upheld, Eastman will be permanently disbarred in California.
