FBI Monitors Iranian Sleeper Cells as War with Israel Escalates
The FBI increases surveillance of suspected Hezbollah operatives inside the U.S., fearing possible terror plots as Israel continues strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The false report of a hit on Iran’s Bushehr plant sparked regional panic, though other key nuclear sites have been damaged.

Israel Eyes Fordow Strike as U.S. Prepares Stealth Bomber Option
Israeli commandos may attempt a daring assault on the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. Meanwhile, the U.S. considers launching B-2 stealth bombers from Diego Garcia. The base’s new lease with China-friendly Mauritius complicates disclosure requirements, raising diplomatic concerns.

Peace Talks Stall as Trump Warns Iran and Public Opinion Backs Action
Trump’s updated peace offer was rejected by Iran. Polling shows 75% of Americans support preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, even if force is necessary. However, some polls show less support for direct U.S. involvement.

Trump Withdraws More U.S. Troops from Syria
American forces are being consolidated to a single base, with local allies stepping in to fill the gap. The reduction reflects Trump’s goal of letting regional players secure their own territory.

Panama Sides with China on Canal Ports
A Chinese state-owned consortium will take over port operations on both ends of the Panama Canal, rejecting a U.S.-backed bid. The White House is expected to respond next week to this strategic setback.

Trump Extends TikTok Sale Deadline in Violation of Law
Despite a congressional mandate, Trump grants another 90-day extension for ByteDance to sell TikTok. Legal challenges are expected, though both parties are hesitant to anger young voters.

Democrat Governors Cut Off Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants
Budget overruns in California, Illinois, and Minnesota are forcing Democrat leaders to scale back health coverage for undocumented migrants. The cuts reveal higher-than-expected migrant numbers and usage, raising questions about official immigration estimates.

Portland Decline Mirrors Leftist Unrest
Antifa violence continues in Portland, with attacks on ICE facilities and widespread downtown decay. Court documents cite homeless encampments and drug use inside landmark buildings like the U.S. Bancorp Tower, now for sale at an 80% loss.

Poll: Democrats Losing Christian Voters Nationwide
A new poll shows Christians across denominations overwhelmingly reject the Democratic Party. While Black Christians remain a core base, overall trust is eroding fast, especially in light of cultural and moral concerns.

Trade War Hits Canada, Spares Mexico
U.S.-Canada trade fell by 10.5% in May, while Mexico saw only a 2.8% drop. Analysts point to Mexico’s more diplomatic tone with Trump compared to Canada’s confrontational approach.

New U.S. Battery Could End Dependence on China
A Boston firm, Pure Lithium, is developing a battery that avoids Chinese-dominated minerals and uses lithium from Arkansas. The company could receive $300 million in federal backing to scale production.

Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today’s biggest stories shaping America and the world.

Trump Approves Iran Attack Plan While Israel Intensifies Bombing
President Trump has privately approved an attack plan for Iran, likely targeting the Fordow nuclear site, though he is delaying execution in hopes of a last-minute peace deal. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continue throughout Tehran, including the destruction of Iran’s internal police headquarters. The UN reports that Iran's highly enriched uranium is missing following the bombings, raising fears of further escalation or a nuclear breakout.

Rwanda and Congo Peace Deal Secured Through U.S. Mediation
Decades of conflict between Rwanda and the Congo may finally end with a peace agreement set to be signed in Washington, D.C., on June 27. The deal, brokered with help from President Trump, could shift access to critical minerals like cobalt and rare earths away from China and into U.S.-aligned hands.

Mineral Wars Continue: U.S. Scrambles for Antimony Supplies
Amid a growing battery and defense crisis, China has cut exports of antimony, a critical metal used in everything from missiles to solar panels. The U.S. is now trying to revive an old mine in Idaho that supplied antimony during World War II. Industry officials are calling it a national emergency.

Flesh-Eating Screwworm Threatens U.S. Cattle Industry
A parasitic fly larva known as the screwworm is advancing from Panama into Mexico, endangering America’s already strained beef supply. The Trump administration has launched a major containment effort, including building sterile fly facilities in Texas and Mexico to stop the spread.

Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee Ban on Transgender Procedures for Minors
The Court rules 6–3 in favor of Tennessee’s law banning gender-related medical treatments for children. Chief Justice Roberts writes that the law protects minors based on age, not sex, and criticizes the “expert class” for ideological bias. The ruling puts decisions about such treatments in the hands of voters and state legislatures, not judges or federal regulators.

America’s Border Holds the Line, Californians Push Back on Benefits for Illegals
