⚠️ Six cops rolled up thinking they were about to bully a dad getting food for his kids… Instead, they got verbally folded, fact‑checked, and sent back to the cruiser in a walk of shame embarrassment.

The Justice Department has released new guidelines that find the EEOC’s use of “disparate impact” is unconstitutional.

Good.

Disparate impact is a woke legal doctrine that’s rewritten American standards:

🚨🇺🇸 A terrified Bongino told Tucker that Trump shut down the Butler investigation himself.

Tucker says he accidentally obtained the Thomas Crooks social media posts the FBI claimed didn't exist, then called Kash Patel and Dan Bongino looking for answers.

Bongino, a friend of many years, allegedly became hysterical before finally telling him to take it up with Trump, who he said killed the Butler investigation himself.

Tucker says he still has every text exchange.

"There's no good explanation for shutting down an investigation into your own attempted murder.

This is not what we've been told it was."

Leftwing activists now promote a new terrible idea: DEgrowth!

They say “economic growth is killing us.”

Give me a break.

It’s absolutely wild that you can be photographed on Epstein Island, evade hearings about your ties to a convicted child predator, and still show your face at an NBA finals game because you're rich and connected.

If that isn’t a broken system, what is?

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen in, Vancouver, WA, was pulled over by FIVE police cars for legally observing and documenting ICE agents… then had to explain the Constitution to the officers detaining him…

And it was all caught on video.

In the video, an ICE agent didn’t like being watched, called local police…

Then suddenly, the U.S. citizen, exercising his constitutional rights, was surrounded by FIVE cop cars.

And most ridiculous part?

The officers who claimed “reasonable suspicion” for detaining the U.S. citizen, could not even answer this simple question…

Is it legal to observe and record law enforcement?

After refusing to answer, and arguing about the First Amendment for several minutes, the officer finally admitted…

Yes. It is legal to observe and record law enforcement.

So, if it’s a legally protected activity… then why was this U.S. citizen detained?

Federal courts, across the country, have repeatedly recognized that the First Amendment protects the right to record and observe government officials… including law enforcement performing their duties in public… as long as you aren’t interfering with them.

That means, local police, and ICE agents, don’t get to decide when that right applies… They don’t get to ignore the Constitution because they’re uncomfortable with public oversight.

But this isn’t the only incident.

Across America, we’re watching local law enforcement work alongside ICE, while ordinary citizens, journalists, and legal observers are being questioned, detained, and intimidated for exercising their constitutional rights.

And the fact that a U.S. citizen had to educate the officers, who were detaining HIM, about the Constitution… should outrage every single person.

Because if the people enforcing the law don’t understand the constitutional rights they’re sworn to protect…

That puts every American in danger.

The #1stAmendment protects the rights of people across a wide range of occupations who, like Lauren, provide advice for a living.

Now, the consent decree makes it clear: the government cannot force you to spend thousands of dollars on an unrelated #license just to talk about death.

American law enforcement is hiding camera inside fake utility boxes

This box looks like an electric box. It even has an electric bolt symbol as a decoy. But it’s fake, inside is a camera that used by law enforcement to monitor the public

Law enforcement uses these decoy boxes attached to utility poles for surveillance

We are under unlawful surveillance and they courts when side with law enforcement over these cameras

In many US jurisdictions, long-term warrantless pole camera surveillance of public areas or homes from a distance has been upheld by courts

Insane

Vermont passed a data privacy law on May 29. To get it past the governor who vetoed the last one, lawmakers removed your right to sue companies that violate it. Enforcement now belongs to one office: the Attorney General.

READ THIS CAREFULLY. 👇

The people who fought to release the Epstein files have been targeted harder than the people who fought against the America First movement.

Why?

For years, Americans were promised accountability.

❌ No accountability for the Democrats on the January 6th Committee.
❌ No one has been prosecuted from the stolen election in 2020.
❌ No accountability for COVID-era crimes against humanity.

Instead, the loudest attacks have been directed at 4 Republicans who demanded the release of the Epstein Files.

That should concern every American, regardless of right vs left.

Americans were promised transparency and accountability. The question is: Where is it?

Actions speak louder than broken promises.

Trump said today that we're making a fortune from the Iranian oil.

Fact check: we have spent at least $30 billion on the war so far. At current prices we would need to steal 375 million barrels of oil to break even.

In other words, he's lying. We are nowhere near breaking even.

GET A WARRANT.

Every single person who voted to allow our government to continue spying on us without a warrant needs removed from office and then barred from ever holding public office again.

There’s fact we even have to have this conversation should make every American angry.

Printing money to fund government spending is a choice. Inflation is the consequence of that choice.

When inflation erodes the value of your paycheck and savings, the government is taking purchasing power from you.

It's theft.
