Dear Patriot,
Since Friday is the 249th birthday of our amazing country, we will be off to celebrate.
So, we decided to do Good News Friday, on Wednesday.
It is proving to be another great week in the Golden Age of America.
The numbers for June were released late last evening. For the second month in a row, NOT A SINGLE migrant was released into the U.S.…….. We voted for this!
We hope you, your friends and family have wonderful and safe celebrations.
Enjoy all the GOOD NEWS!
Happy Independence Day!
1- We can not say enough good things about this little series that can be seen on X/Twitter. It is perfect viewing during this Independence Week.
Scroll down and watch each of the 28 profiles of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, plus a few more significant people. The short videos tell compelling stories of immense faith, courage and sacrifice in the quest for freedom. There are many parallels to struggles we have today.
Each profile is about 2:00 minutes.
It is a good reminder to those who were taught history and a primer for those who were not.
We found #12 Oliver Wolcott especially fascinating as it was a story we missed in our education.
But every single story is a perfect gem.
Please share this feature, especially with children.

2- We are sure that President Trump was happy to get out of The Swamp and go to the swamp.
The tour of Alligator Alcatraz showed off the Florida prison, which was made ready in 8 days. The visit was entertaining and eye-opening.
There was talk that more facilities like this are being planned in other Red States.
Cannibal migrants and washing machines: Five things you missed from Trump’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ visit
QUOTE: At the unveiling of the newest gem in Donald Trump’s crown – an immigration detention centre surrounded by an alligator-infested swamp – one might be forgiven for thinking deportation would be the focus of the president’s agenda.
The US president made a visit to the Everglades, home of the brand new “Alligator Alcatraz”, on Tuesday to tour the new prison.
During his tour, Mr Trump was quick to lavish praise on Ron DeSantis, Florida’s governor, and his government, who have overseen the construction of the jail in just eight days.
Reporters and camera crews struggled to keep up with Mr Trump while he surveyed the sprawling centre, with the president often stopping to give impromptu on-camera interviews.
The culmination of his visit came in the form of a wide-ranging press conference, lasting more than an hour, during which Mr Trump discussed the horse riding skills of Kristi Noem, his homeland security secretary, and his frustration with washing machines.
Upon arrival, Mr Trump was quick to emphasise the benefits of having Florida’s wildlife as natural security, saying the alligators would guard migrants for free.
Speaking alongside Mr DeSantis, Mr Trump said: “You have a lot of bodyguards and a lot of cops in the form of alligators. You don’t have to pay them so much.”
He went on to joke that inmates at the prison camp will be taught how to run away from the reptiles.
“Don’t run in a straight line. Run like this,” he said, performing a zig-zag motion with his hands. “And you know what, your chances [of survival] go up about one per cent.”Although, he added, he “wouldn’t want to run through the Everglades for long”.
Ms Noem herself had plenty to say during the conference, recalling an apparent recent incident with an illegal migrant who “tried to eat himself”.
The homeland security chief opened by saying the Everglades detention centre is designed to hold “deranged individuals” who “don’t belong” in the US.
To hammer her point home, Ms Noem said: “The other day, I was talking to some marshals that have been partnering with ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement].”
“They said that they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home, and while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself, and they had to get him off and get him medical attention.” She added: “These are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America that we’re trying to target and get out of our country.”
3- Gas prices are lower this week!
Well, not in California, where they just added a 65 cent/gallon TAX!
California needs this revenue because top taxpayers are fleeing the communist run state.
CNN Forced to Report 4th of July Gas Prices at Four-Year Low
QUOTE: CNN was forced to report that heading into the Fourth of July weekend, gas prices have hit a four-year low.
CNN, a far-left, basement-rated propaganda cable channel that spreads misinformation and violence against Jews, must have been dying more than a little inside while being forced to report this:
Gas prices are at a 4-year low record as Americans go into the 4th of July weekend, all thanks to President Trump's policies.
What must really be killing them, is the “four years” part, which perfectly and precisely jumps over Joe Biden to President Trump.
But-but-but all of America’s “experts” assured me Trump’s tariffs would kill the economy. But-but-but all of America’s “experts” told me the war with Iran would explode gas prices.
Oh, you mean that 12-day war that obliterated Iran’s nuclear program and whatever was left of CNN’s credibility?
Meanwhile, Californians are looking at a near-future where gas could cost anywhere from $6 to $9 a gallon with Newsom’s 65 cent tax hike.
CNN is even forced to admit that Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran is 1) holding, and 2) responsible for bringing the cost of oil down by about $20 per barrel. Then CNN actually admits that low inflation and increased wages are putting more money in the pockets of the people.
I’m surprised CNN reported this. You would expect them to do what they always do … lie.
4- A robust, growing economy needs energy. Energy means jobs.
US energy firms eye new Northeast natgas pipelines, buoyed by Trump and demand outlook
QUOTE: U.S. energy companies are eying renewed opportunities to build natural gas pipelines to tap in to Appalachia shale formations in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, buoyed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s pro-energy policies and expectations that demand for the fuel will rise in coming years.
The U.S. is already the world's top gas producer and exporter of liquefied natural gas. While the country helps meet fuel demand around the world, many consumers in the U.S. Northeast do not have access to gas due to a lack of pipeline infrastructure and instead continue to use heating oil in their homes and businesses.
The Appalachia shale fields, which cover the Marcellus and Utica formations, have the largest gas reserves in the U.S., but energy companies have limited ability to move more of that fuel to the rest of the country because most existing pipelines are already near full. In addition, companies have found it tough to build new projects in the region due to legal and regulatory pushback from states and local and environmental groups.
Output growth in the region, which produces about a third of the nation's gas, has stalled in recent years after some firms lost billions on delayed or canceled pipes.
But now, as Trump rolls back regulations to boost domestic energy production, several U.S. firms, including Williams Cos , Boardwalk Pipeline, DT Midstream and EQT, have proposed building or expanding pipelines and other infrastructure in the Northeast.
"We are actively evaluating opportunities to expand infrastructure," Amy Rogers, spokeswoman at EQT, the nation's second-biggest gas producer with operations in Appalachia, told Reuters.
"Enhancing pipeline capacity is essential to unlocking Appalachian supply," she said.
5- We hope this announcement is just the tip of the iceberg. Much more fraud needs to be exposed and charged.
DOJ: Over 300 people charged, including 100 medical professionals, in $16.4B ‘National Health Care Fraud Takedown’
QUOTE: The Department of Justice has charged 324 individuals, including 100 medical professionals, due to their alleged involvement in a $16.4 billion healthcare fraud scheme, marking the largest healthcare fraud takedown in DoJ history.
The $14.6 billion scheme spanned across all 50 states – resulting in law enforcement seizing over $245 million in cash, cryptocurrency and luxury vehicles, among other assets.
Just in Arizona, a United Arab Emirates-based billing company had allegedly defrauded Medicaid of $650 million, and the company targeted Native American and homeless patients for “addiction treatment scams,” according to the Washington Examiner.
“This record-setting Health Care Fraud Takedown delivers justice to criminal actors who prey upon our most vulnerable citizens and steal from hardworking American taxpayers,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi. “Make no mistake – this administration will not tolerate criminals who line their pockets with taxpayer dollars while endangering the health and safety of our communities.”
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also described the bust as the “largest healthcare fraud investigation, as measured by financial losses, in DOJ history.”“These criminals didn’t just steal someone else’s money. They stole from you,” stated Matthew Galeotti, Head of the Criminal Division at the DoJ. “Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice.”Of the $16.4 billion reported in the scheme, $10.6 billion was found in fraudulent Medicare claims through the stolen identities of over 1 million Americans.
6- Well, would you look at this! At last, the appearance of sanity on a university campus, brought on by the president holding back millions. … and the unceasing efforts of Riley Gaines.
UPenn to Apologize for Allowing Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas to Compete on Women’s Team
QUOTE: The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has agreed to apologize for allowing infamous transgender college swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on the women’s team, resolving Title IX violations.
In a press release on Tuesday, the Department of Education announced that the university had entered into a “Resolution Agreement to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX).” The Department of Education explained that UPenn would “restore to female athletes all individual UPenn Division I swimming records, titles, or similar recognitions which were misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories.”
UPenn will also “send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer,” and “issue a public statement” to the university’s community explaining that it will “comply with Title IX” and will not be allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports.
“As a former UPenn swimmer who had to compete against and share a locker room with a male athlete, I am deeply grateful to the Trump Administration for refusing to back down on protecting women and girls and restoring our rightful accolades,” former UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlan said in a statement. “I am also pleased that my alma mater has finally agreed to take not only the lawful path, but the honorable one.”
As Breitbart News previously reported, in March, the Trump administration paused $175 million in federal funding to UPenn over the university’s inclusion of biological males in women’s sports. The pause of millions of dollars in federal funding to UPenn was “pending an investigation” into the university’s alleged Title IX violations.

7- Cleaning up the census counts by removing illegals would have a massive impact on future elections. Democrats could lose up to 20 US House seats and lose Electoral College votes.
Trump Removing Noncitizens From Census Would Affect Elections
QUOTE: Following a years-long surge in illegal immigration, the Trump administration is poised to challenge a longstanding but legally fraught practice: counting illegal aliens in the U.S. census.
President Trump tried to end the practice during his first term, but President Biden overturned his predecessor’s policy before it was implemented. Now, buoyed by red state attorneys general and Republican legislators, the second Trump administration is determined “to clean up the census and make sure that illegal aliens are not counted,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller said last month.
It could have significant political implications because the census count is used to apportion House seats, determine the number of votes each state gets in the Electoral College for selecting the president, and drive the flow oftrillions of dollars in government funds.
Some immigration researchers project that including noncitizens in the census count disproportionately benefits Democratic states with large illegal alien populations. A recent study counters that, based on 2020 census figures, there would have been a negligible shift to the political map had the U.S. government excluded noncitizens from that count. But looking backward, those researchers found, red states would have benefited under the administration’s desired census counting shift. Had authorities excluded such migrants from the 2010 census, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, and North Carolina all would have gained one seat in the House, while California would have lost three seats, and Texas and Florida would have each lost one seat — with the total number of Electoral College votes allotted each state changing accordingly.
8- Speaking about cleaning up….Leftists hate touching the forest floors but the truth is there needs to be professional clean up to remove the deadfall that is fuel for fires.
As always, President Trump solves a problem brought on by stupid policy.
Trump administration axes logging protections for national forests
QUOTE: A nearly 25-year-old rule that prohibits logging on national forest land is being halted by the Trump administration in order to reduce the risk of wildfires, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced on Monday.
The move comes after multiple instances of feuding between Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) over the governor’s responses to wildfires in the Golden State over recent years.
California faced the costliest wildfire in history in January, and Trump argued Newsom was to blame for the devastation because of overall poor management of the state’s resources after he had warned the governor for years about the matter.
In 2018, Trump visited a wildfire disaster site in California and said while standing next to Newsom, “You gotta take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important…”
The “roadless rule,” which the country has been following since it was adopted in the last days of former President Bill Clinton’s administration in 2001, hindered adequate road construction and “responsible timber production,” Rollins said at the annual meeting of the Western Governors Association.
“President Trump is removing absurd obstacles to commonsense management of our natural resources by rescinding the overly restrictive roadless rule,” Rollins said. “This move opens a new era of consistency and sustainability for our nation’s forests. It is abundantly clear that properly managing our forests preserves them from devastating fires and allows future generations of Americans to enjoy and reap the benefits of this great land.”
9- Go woke, go broke. How many times does this have to be proven before they stop?
Jaguar sales collapse 97 percent in Europe amid controversial rebrand and EV transition
QUOTE: Jaguar faces a steep sales decline following a radical rebrand in November 2024, with European registrations plummeting 97.5% in April 2025. The shift to an all-electric, ultra-luxury brand, coupled with a controversial marketing campaign and the absence of new EV models, has alienated long-time buyers. The company's future hinges on the successful launch of its upcoming electric vehicles.
British luxury carmaker Jaguar is facing its steepest sales decline in decades, following a radical woke rebrand that has drawn sharp criticism from industry experts, dealers, and long-time customers. Only 49 Jaguar vehicles were registered in Europe in April 2025, a 97.5 percent drop compared to 1,961 units in the same month last year. Year-to-date sales between January and April fell 75.1 percent, with just 2,665 cars sold across the continent.
The figures mark a dramatic turning point for a brand once seen as a symbol of British automotive elegance and performance.
