<p>The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) decided to mock Donald Trump Jr., an avid hunter, by creating a Halloween costume of him with blood dripping down his face as a leopard was posed behind him. But Trump Jr., as the hunter he is, had PETA in his crosshairs and promptly neutered them with a blast of his own.</p>
<p>PETA President Ingrid Newkirk gleefully stated, &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing more frightful than an entitled ghoul who gets his kicks from gunning down wild animals. This Halloween, PETA will help people poke fun at someone who believes that the world and its wildlife are here for him to take.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that President Trump is intent on reviving tariffs that were paused if countries don’t “move along” by August 1.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bessent appeared on CNN‘s “State of the Union” with host Dana Bash, who asked what was going to happen when the initial 90-day pause on foreign tariffs expired in three days.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I&#8217;m not going to give away the playbook, because we&#8217;re going to be very busy over the next 72 hours,” Bessent answered. “President Trump&#8217;s going to be sending letters to some of our trading partners, saying that, if you don&#8217;t move things along, then, on August 1, you will boomerang back to your April 2 tariff level. So I think we&#8217;re going to see a lot of deals very quickly. “</p>
<p>“So there&#8217;s basically a new deadline?” Bash asked.</p>
<p>“It’s not a new deadline,” Bessent replied. “We are saying this is when it&#8217;s happening. If you want to speed things up, have at it. If you want to go back to the old rate, that&#8217;s your choice.</p>
<p>Bessent explained that the “playbook” is “to apply maximum pressure. We saw that the E.U. was very slow in coming to the table. Three weeks ago, on a Friday morning, President Trump threatened 50 percent tariffs, and, within a few hours, five of the European national leaders had called him. And Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the E.U., was on the phone.”<br />
“We are close to several deals,” Bessent continued. “As always, there&#8217;s a lot of foot-dragging on the other side. And so I would expect to see several big announcements over the next couple of days.”</p>
<p>“The thing about being the deficit country, Dana, is, when you are the deficit country, you have the leverage,” Bessent asserted. “These are surplus countries that they have exported more to us than we export to them. So we have the leverage in this situation.”</p>
<p>When Bash posited that small business owners have told her they are living with uncertainty because of the tariffs, Bessent replied, “I&#8217;d say two things, is, the other thing they would probably have been telling you is, it was the uncertainty around taxes. So, with the One Big Beautiful Bill, they now have great certainty on taxes. &#8230; When I&#8217;m out talking to businesses, they want trade and taxes. So we have certainty on taxes now. All businesses know that they will be getting 100 percent expensing for new plant and equipment. On tariffs, again, it is the 18 important trading relationships. And we&#8217;re moving through those.”</p>

Bessent: Trump Will Revive Foreign Tariffs If Countries Don’t ‘Move Along’ By August 1

<p style="font-weight: 400;">After his key role in getting President Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget bill passed, House Speaker Mike Johnson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/johnson-says-megabill-jet-fuel-economy-teases-2-future-bills-within-next-year">outlined his plans</a> for the future, with more reconciliation bills on the way, and offered a succinct, caustic response to Democrats claiming they were happy to run against the bill in 2026.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“What deals were made?” Fox News Sunday&#8217;s Shannon Bream asked Johnson on Sunday. “There a couple of members who’ve said they were given assurances outside of this bill of other things  that they would get down the line.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t make deals,” Johnson replied bluntly. “Never have since I became Speaker, which is why I’m still surviving with the gavel. You have to find out where people’s red lines are and navigate through that, with what we’ve had is the smallest margin in US history at most points along the way, but we got it done.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“No side deals,” he reiterated. “What the extra time was, we needed that for people to process. Remember, we got the Senate bill on a Tuesday. They modified a lot of what we did in the House. We worked on it for over a year, so we needed a couple of days there or everybody to process what all those changes were and ensure that they knew exactly how that was gonna be implemented by the administration.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Dean referred to rumored “promises” that had been made outside the bill. Johnson explained, “We’ve been talking about that publicly and privately for a year and a half. We had always planned to do the first big reconciliation bill, which is the big beautiful bill — now it’s done, a huge leap forward for our priorities — but then also we’ve been planning a second reconciliation bill for the fall — it would be attached to the next fiscal year — and then potentially one in the spring. That’s my plan: three reconciliation bills before this Congress is over. I think we can do that, and so you’ll see more of us advancing these common sense principles to deliver that America First agenda for the people. That’s what they elected us to do. This was a huge leap forward.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Democrats say they are excited to run on this bill,” Bream said, prompting Johnson to gibe, “Yeah, right.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bream then quoted a DCCC memo saying that Republicans would lose the majority in 2026 because of the big, beautiful bill and the more people knew about it, the less popular it became. “They’re also talking about Democrats holding rallies outside of rural hospitals  and nursing homes this summer to tell people they are going to lose their care,” she stated.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“As I said on the House floor the other day, it takes a lot longer to build a lie than to tell the simple truth,” Johnson said. “Our Republicans are going to be out across the country telling the simple truth, and guess what? It will be demonstrated. Everyone will have more take home pay. They’ll have more jobs and opportunity. The economy will be doing better. And we will be able to point to that as the obvious result of what we did.”</p>

<p>“This is a very dangerous and life-threatening flood event along the Guadalupe River! Move to higher ground! The National Weather Service in Austin and San Antonio stated. “More than 14 inches of rain have fallen in portions of San Angelo in the last 24 hours,” FOX West Texas <a href="https://www.myfoxzone.com/article/weather/san-angelo-flooding-rain-totals/504-b17e9d18-1660-49a6-85d1-0e41ca62a7bd">reported</a> at 9 a.m. Friday.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Guadalupe River reached a level where it crested its banks and even surpassed the level of the famous 1987 flood. “Hundreds of other people along the Guadalupe River and its tributaries that night and morning had to be evacuated.

Flooding In Texas Causes Multiple Fatalities As Guadalupe River Surges To Record Levels

<p style="font-weight: 400;">After Israel killed the head of the Iranian emergency military command and then took out his successor three days later, the Iranian government decided to keep the name of the new commander of the unit private.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Apparently, it didn’t work.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, had other plans.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On July 13, in the opening strike of its war with Iran, Israel killed Gholam Ali Rashid; three days later, it killed his replacement, Ali Shadmani, Ynet News <a href="https://www.ynetnews.com/article/syavw2grgg">noted</a>. That prompted the Iranian government to keep the name of the next replacement secret.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">But the X account Mossad Farsi (Persian) posted a message on Tuesday asking its followers to guess who the new head of the Khatam al-Anbiya unit was, writing:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>The Tasnim news agency announced that the Iranian regime will not publish the name of the new commander of Khatam al-Anbiya in order to protect him. Know that we know his actual name and are well acquainted with him. Unfortunately, such basic information is being hidden from the Iranian people. Please send us your guesses regarding his name.</em></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“More than 2,300 responses were recorded,” Ynet News reported. “The replies included threats against Israel, mockery of the unusual post, and suggestions such as Ahmad Vahidi, adviser to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; former Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif; and Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.”</p>

Mossad Farsi replied to a post suggesting that the new replacement was Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi. “The lucky winner who successfully guessed the ‘secret’ name is Mr. Behnam. Please contact us privately to receive your prize,” Mossad Farsi posted.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Aliabadi previously served as a deputy minister and governor in Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government and, further back, as deputy commander of the IRGC Air Force. He has been sanctioned by the United States,” Ynet News explained.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The account that had provided the new replacement’s name was apparently frightened that his guess had been verified, later posting,  “I do not receive money or compensation from any individual, institution or organization for the freedom of the Iranian people. I am independent and free. That’s why I can write here freely and without hesitation and be myself. For me, the freedom of the Iranian people is the greatest wish and the best reward.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mossad Farsi later posted that the soldiers in Iran’s military terror arm, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), have reached out to them, writing:</p>
<blockquote>

Iran Tries Keeping New Military Commander A Secret. Mossad Offers Guessing Game, Confirms Winner

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking at the America250 kickoff event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Thursday, President Donald Trump took aim at Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor who has made openly communist statements, declaring, “Generations of Americans before us did not shed their blood only so that we could surrender our country to Marxist lunatics on the eve of our 250<sup>th</sup> year.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mamdani has made openly Marxist statements such as “the end goal of seizing the means of production,” while iterating, “we have to continue to elect more socialists.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Zohran Mamdani: &quot;Our end goal, seizing the means of production&quot; HOLY F </p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“As you know, recently we’ve seen some in our political system attempting to overthrow the timeless American principles and pillars of our liberty and replace them with some of the most noxious ideas in human history; ideas that have been proven false,” President Trump stated. “Members of Congress and even former presidents have been openly embracing vile creeds such as socialism, Marxism, and straight-up communism.”</p>
<p><strong><a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-2388">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a></strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Then he turned to Mamdani: “In New York, they’re trying to elect a communist, Zohran Mamdani, the guy who wants to defund the police, take over the stores, and run the stores and have the people hand out goods. And when everything falls apart, it always does; it always works that way; it never has worked any other way, anarchy and dictatorships prevail.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“This guy is a communist at the highest level and he wants to destroy New York,” he asserted. “I love New York and we’re not gonna let him do that. Generations of Americans before us did not shed their blood only so that we could surrender our country to Marxist lunatics on the eve of our 250<sup>th</sup> year.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Trump then made a fateful promise, finishing with a flourish: “As President of the United States, I am proclaiming here and now that America is never going to be communist in any way, shape, or form. “</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“And that includes New York City,” he concluded.</p>

Trump Tears Into ‘Marxist Lunatic’ Mamdani, Honors American Heroes In Bold Rebuke

<p style="font-weight: 400;">President Trump celebrated on Thursday the return to normalcy for the price of eggs, declaring they were “plentiful and inexpensive.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Trump was responding to a tweet from Waffle House announcing that the 50-cent egg surcharge they had imposed for the last five months was officially off the menu.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Egg-cellent news…as of June 2, the egg surcharge is officially off the menu. Thanks for understanding! <a href="https://t.co/xXE6giZhRe">pic.twitter.com/xXE6giZhRe</a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We brought the price of Eggs back to what they were supposed to be,” President Trump exuberated on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114789968096151564">Truth Social</a>. “When I took over on January 20th, the Fake News was screaming that, ‘Egg prices have gone through the roof, quadrupled,’ they said. Now they’re plentiful, and inexpensive. ‘Thank you President Trump!’”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In early February, Waffle House <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/02/04/waffle-house-50-cent-egg-surcharge/78211715007/">instituted</a> its egg surcharge, saying it was the result of the &#8220;continuing egg shortage caused by HPAI (Bird Flu)&#8221; that had triggered a &#8220;dramatic increase in egg prices. &#8230; Consumers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions. Rather than increasing prices across the menu, this is a temporary targeted surcharge tied to the unprecedented rise in egg prices.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the USDA, the price of a dozen eggs <a href="https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_3725.pdf">soared</a> nationally in March to $8.17; it has plummeted to $2.54.</p>

<p>Almost exactly concurrent with the apex of egg prices, on February 26, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins <a href="https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/02/26/usda-invests-1-billion-combat-avian-flu-and-reduce-egg-prices">announced</a> a $1 billion comprehensive strategy to “curb highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), protect the U.S. poultry industry, and lower egg prices.” The five-point plan <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/agriculture-secretary-brooke-rollins-my-plan-to-lower-egg-prices-6be0f881">included</a> dedicating up to &#8220;$500 million to helping U.S. poultry producers implement gold-standard biosecurity measures,” making “$400 million of increased financial relief available to farmers whose flocks are affected by avian flu,” “exploring the use of vaccines and therapeutics for laying chickens,” removing “unnecessary regulatory burdens on egg producers where possible,&#8221; and considering “temporary import options to reduce egg costs in the short term.”</p>
<p>On June 26, Rollins <a href="https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2025/06/26/secretary-rollins-provides-update-bird-flu-strategy-egg-prices-continue-fall">gave an update</a> on the five-pronged strategy, saying, “After reaching a record high due to the Biden Administration’s lack of action, wholesale egg prices have now dropped 64%, with retail prices falling 27% from their peak earlier this year.”</p>
<p>“When President Trump entered office, the cost of eggs was at a record high, seriously denting consumers’ wallets after years of awful inflation,” she continued. “On my first day as Secretary, we got to work to implement a five-pronged strategy to improve biosecurity on the farm and lower egg prices on grocery store shelves. The plan has worked, and families are seeing relief with egg prices driving food deflation in the April Consumer Price Index.”</p>
