Washington Post Journalist Charged With Possession Of Child Pornography

<p>President Donald Trump&#8217;s on such a winning streak that not even CNN can ignore it.</p>
<p>From the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cia-reveals-intelligence-showing-u-s-destroyed-key-iranian-nuclear-facilities">destruction</a> of Iran&#8217;s key nuclear facilities to brokering a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-holds-ceasefire-after-israel-refrains-from-major-retaliation-for-irans-strike-on-civilians">ceasefire</a> between Iran and Israel, the president&#8217;s slew of victories has gotten long enough that  CNN host Michael Smerconish spent more than six minutes on air diving into Trump&#8217;s accomplishments over the past 12 days. The chyron on the screen simply said, &#8220;Trump On A Roll.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The mission was carried out with stealth and precision,&#8221; Smerconish said of American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. &#8220;There were no American casualties.&#8221;</p>
<p>Smerconish then noted of Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-triumphs-nato-bows-to-u-s-pressure-with-5-defense-pledge">maneuvering an impressive win at NATO</a>, getting United States allies to more than double their contribution to the alliance. The president reached a trade deal with China, and expects a deal with India soon, Smerconish said, adding that the stock market has &#8220;rebounded and grown,&#8221; hitting record highs.</p>
<p>Additionally, the CNN host highlighted how inflation has cooled under Trump.</p>
<p>&#8220;The rate is now reported at 2.4%, down from a high of 7% just four years ago,&#8221; Smerconish told viewers. &#8220;Meanwhile, blue-collar workers have seen real wage growth of 1.7% in Trump&#8217;s first five months: this is the largest such increase in three generations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump has also incentivized major companies to invest in American manufacturing, the host noted. As highlighted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ge-appliances-moving-production-from-china-to-republican-state">The Daily Wire</a>, GE Appliances announced this week that it’s moving even more of its production from China to Kentucky, investing nearly half-a-billion dollars and creating at least 800 full-time jobs.</p>
<p>Smerconish also noted that we&#8217;ve hit the lowest border encounters since the 1960s, while Trump is continuing to gain support with latino Americans.</p>
<p>The CNN host recalled Trump&#8217;s major wins at the Supreme Court, specifically on immigration. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/birthright-citizenship-lgbt-books-porn-law-ben-shapiro-reacts-to-trumps-trifecta-of-wins-at-scotus">The Daily Wire</a> reported that the SCOTUS <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-sides-with-trump-limits-nationwide-injunctions-in-birthright-citizenship-fight?author=Mairead+Elordi&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Supreme+Court+Sides+With+Trump%2C+Limits+Nationwide+Injunctions+In+Birthright+Citizenship+Fight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cracked down</a> on lower courts trying to hamstring Trump’s agenda, ruling that Trump may end birthright citizenship in some parts of the country while legal challenges against his order proceed in others.</p>

‘Trump On A Roll’: The President’s Winning So Much, Even CNN Admits It

<p>GE Appliances announced this week that it&#8217;s moving even more of its production from China to Kentucky, and investing nearly half-a-billion dollars.</p>
<p>The company is moving most of its washing machine production to Kentucky, spending $490 million in the process, and creating at least 800 full-time jobs. The move is expected to be completed by 2027.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are bringing laundry production to our global headquarters in Louisville because manufacturing in the U.S. is fundamental to our ‘zero-distance’ business strategy to make appliances as close as possible to our customers and consumers,&#8221; GE Appliances President and CEO Kevin Nolan <a href="https://pressroom.geappliances.com/news/ge-appliances-doubles-down-on-u-s-manufacturing-with-490-million-laundry-plant-investment-at-its-global-headquarters-in-louisville-kentucky">said</a> in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;This decision is our most recent product reshoring and aligns with the current economic and policy environment,&#8221; Nolan said, adding that the investment &#8220;<span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0">p</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0">ositions&#8221; GE</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0"> &#8220;</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0">to be</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0">come</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0"> the biggest </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0">American </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0">washer </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0">manufacturer.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>The announcement comes amid President Donald Trump using tariffs on a host of countries, including China, to help restore what he views as fair trade, American manufacturing, and also address national security issues, like illegal immigration and fentanyl.</p>
<p>Additionally, under Trump, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/11/cpi-inflation-may-2025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflation has cooled</a> and gas prices have hit a <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/summer-gas-prices-hit-lowest-level-4-years-despite-middle-east-tensions">four-year low</a>.</p>
<p>GE&#8217;s Appliance Park, a massive industrial complex located in Louisville, already employs around 8,000 workers, the company said. Additionally, GE has invested $3.5 billion in its U.S. manufacturing operations over the past ten years.</p>
<p>&#8220;This investment will move production of more than 15 models of front load washers to Building 2 at Appliance Park – bringing the total area of clothes care production to the equivalent of 33 football fields,&#8221; a statement from the company said.</p>
<p><span class="TextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto">Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, a Democrat, praised the move from GE.</span></p>

<p><span class="TextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto">“Today’s announcement further secures Louisville as the global headquarters of GE Appliances, a Haier company, and brings more world-class, unparalleled appliance manufacturing back to the United States,” he said in a statement on Thursday. </span></p>
<p><span class="TextRun SCXW185671340 BCX0" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto">“This new investment strengthens one of our vital Kentucky assets and underscores our state’s reputation as America’s destination of choice for advanced manufacturing and job creation,&#8221; he added.</span></p>
<p>A number of companies have committed to investing in the U.S. since Trump took office, including South Korean-based car manufacturer Hyundai, which is <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/president-trump-is-remaking-america-into-a-manufacturing-superpower/">investing</a> $21 billion in U.S. onshoring, including a $5.8 billion steel plant in Louisiana. Pharmaceutical giant Johnson &amp; Johnson, too, announced plans to invest $55 billion in U.S. manufacturing. And in February, tech company <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-manufacturing-domestic-tariffs/">Apple</a> committed to spending more than $500 billion on U.S. manufacturing capabilities over the next four years.</p>

GE Appliances Moving Production From China To Red State

<p>Maine state <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/she-stood-up-for-girls-then-got-a-scotus-win-laurel-libby-speaks-out">Rep. Laurel Libby</a> (R) on Wednesday finally had her voice restored after state Democrats censured the Republican for a post calling out the state&#8217;s unpopular transgender sports policy.</p>
<p>Libby announced on X that state Democrats passed a House resolution to fully restore her voting and speaking rights, which were first stripped in February.</p>
<p><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3">&#8220;VICTORY!!</span><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3"> Democrats CAVE and give my Voice AND Vote back,&#8221; she said. &#8220;My constituent&#8217;s right to representation and my right to free speech should never have been stripped.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3">Notably, Libby was told she would have to apologize to Democrats for her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1053801876552826&amp;set=pb.100057690715704.-2207520000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook post</a> drawing attention to Maine’s controversial transgender policies if she wanted her voting and speech rights back. </span></p>
<p><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3">&#8220;I have NEVER apologized and NEVER WILL for speaking up for girls&#8217; sports,&#8221; Libby said. </span></p>

<div>
<p>Libby filed a lawsuit over the censure, and last month she scored a legal win at the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled to give the Republican back her voting rights as the lawsuit plays out.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Democrats caved because they know that they are losing, they are losing in the court of public opinion, they are losing in the literal court, and they have to save face,&#8221; Libby said in a video post.</p>
<p>As highlighted by Libby, constituents in Maine — though a liberal state — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-trump-trans-athletes-womens-sports-maine">side with Republicans and President Donald Trump on transgender sports issues</a>: they want to protect female spaces and sports and keep trans-identifying males out.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is not over. This all began because I spoke up on behalf of Maine women and girls, who are being discriminated against,&#8221; Libby continued. &#8220;Their rights have not been assured. This is a Democrat maneuver to try to get themselves out of trouble — but they are still in trouble.&#8221;</p>
<p>In Maine, Democrat Gov. Janet Mills is still standing by her position to allow males in girls sports. The Trump administration has sued the state&#8217;s Department of Education and frozen federal dollars over that decision.</p>

Maine’s Laurel Libby, Censured Over Trans Sports Policy, Gets Last Laugh: ‘I Have Never Apologized’

<p>The WNBA&#8217;s Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said over the weekend that she felt she had to step up and protect her teammate, Caitlin Clark, after years of referees allowing cheap shots against Clark, who&#8217;s the league&#8217;s star player.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Cunningham was ejected from a game and fined after she grabbed Suns guard Jacy Sheldon by the back of the head. Earlier in the game, Sheldon poked Clark in the eye as she was passing the ball &#8212; which clearly did not sit well with Cunningham.</p>
<div id="attachment_938293" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-938293" class="wp-image-938293 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/GettyImages-2220133971-864x576.jpg" alt="Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham (8) and Connecticut Sun guard Jacy Sheldon (4) interact leading to Cunningham and Sheldon being ejected during a WNBA game between the Connecticut Sun and the Indiana Fever on June 17, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN.

<p>&#8220;It was just part of the game,&#8221; Cunningham told the press. &#8220;I think the refs had a lot to do with that. It was a build-up for a couple years now of them just not protecting the star player of the WNBA.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;At the end of the day, I&#8217;m going to protect my teammates,&#8221; she added. &#8220;That&#8217;s what I do.&#8221;</p>

<p>During last week&#8217;s game against the Suns, a number of technical fouls were handed down by the referees after Clark got her eye poked and chaos ensued. Stephanie White, coach of the Fever, blamed the referees for letting the game get out of hand. Clark, a frequent target of cheap shots in the league and the recipient of one of those technical fouls, nodded along in agreement.</p>
<p>“I think it was pretty obvious that stuff was brewing, right?” White told the press post-game. “When the officials don&#8217;t get control of the ballgame, when they allow that stuff to happen, and it&#8217;s been happening all season long … you&#8217;ve got competitive women who are the best in the world at what they do, and when you allow them to play physical, and you allow these things to happen, they&#8217;re going to compete, and they&#8217;re going to have their teammates&#8217; backs. It&#8217;s exactly what you expect out of fierce competition. I started talking to the officials in the first quarter, and we knew this was going to happen. You could tell it was going to happen. So they got to get control of it. They got to be better.”</p>

<p>As for Cunningham, the guard&#8217;s popularity has only blown up since she got ejected on Tuesday. On X, posts with the player&#8217;s background, highlights of her feisty playing on the court, and her pre-game looks have garnered massive attention.</p>

We found out how to work hard and work together. It made us farm strong.&#8221;</p>

WNBA Player Rips Refs For Allowing Cheap Shots On Caitlin Clark, Says She Had To Act

<p>Olympic gymnast Simone Biles appears to have deleted her X account, following massive backlash for her bizarre attack on women&#8217;s rights advocate Riley Gaines and the promotion of men in female sports.</p>
<p>When you search @Simone_Biles, X users are now directed to a message that reads &#8220;This account doesn&#8217;t exist,&#8221; instead of Biles&#8217; feed.</p>

<p>“You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race,&#8221; Biles said to Gaines, for highlighting the inequality of allowing males to participate in female sports. &#8220;Straight up sore loser.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gaines did not lose to Lia Thomas, a man who competed in women&#8217;s collegiate swimming. She tied against the male and then was pushed to the side for a photoshoot so the NCAA could apparently highlight Thomas. Gaines has since become a fierce advocate for girls and women&#8217;s spaces and sports.</p>
<p>“Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male,” Biles said to Gaines.</p>
<p>The gymnast was hit with fierce backlash over the posts and she eventually apologized. Gaines accepted the apology, writing online, “<span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3">I accept Simone’s apology for the personal attacks including the ones where she body-shamed me. I know she knows what this feels like. She’s still the greatest female gymnast of all time.&#8221; </span></p>
<p>Gaines on Monday reacted to Biles&#8217; account being terminated. In a post on X, she noted that Biles had &#8220;an incredibly unpopular and morally indefensible take,&#8221; got &#8220;rightfully ridiculed for it,&#8221; issued &#8220;a groveling public apology after unrelenting backlash,&#8221; and then deleted her account &#8220;to pretend it never happened.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sad to see such a phenom go down like this,&#8221; Gaines added.</p>
