“Trump Was Right”: John Kerry Stuns Dems with Immigration Confession
Even the globalist elite are cracking. On a BBC podcast this week, former Secretary of State and Biden climate czar John Kerry admitted Trump was right about one of the biggest issues of the decade: immigration.
“If you’re going to define your nation, you have to have a border that means something,” Kerry said.
When asked point blank if Trump was right, he replied: “He was right.”
Kerry blasted Democrats for letting the border fall into chaos and admitted Biden never made enforcing immigration law a priority. He even said Dems should’ve “shut down” the border years ago—echoing the very stance they once called racist.
This is the first major Obama-era figure to concede what millions of Americans have known all along: Trump’s border policies worked. And every open-border bureaucrat who fought him is now exposed.
Trump Courts Africa: Trade, Tariffs, and Tough Talk on Terror and Immigration
While the media hyperventilates over tariffs, President Trump is busy flipping the global trade script. On Wednesday, he welcomed leaders from Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal to the White House and laid out his next “America First” frontier: Africa.
“There’s great economic potential in Africa, like few other places,” Trump said. “We’re working tirelessly to forge new economic opportunities.”
Trump’s message was clear: mutual respect, real trade, and shared security. But it wasn’t just business. He pushed for visa enforcement, Safe Third Country Agreements, and made a pitch for defense contracts to fight African terror networks.
Leaders from Africa echoed Trump’s tone, declaring, “We are not poor countries—we are rich countries,” citing their rare earth mineral wealth.
Bottom line? Trump is treating African nations like sovereign partners, not charity cases. He’s offering business, not aid—and rewriting the rules of global engagement while Biden’s team plays catch-up.
Trump Pulls the Plug: No More Free Tuition for Illegals on the Taxpayer’s Dime
President Trump’s Department of Education just torched one of the last vestiges of the Clinton-era open borders free-for-all. In a major win for taxpayers and citizens, the administration is cutting off illegal immigrants from accessing federal tuition programs—including career, technical, and adult education initiatives.
“That ends now,” said White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers. “Under President Trump, it’s America First always.”
This move, backed by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, shuts down the decades-long abuse of public benefits by noncitizens. The Education Department, Health and Human Services, and Labor Department all rolled out synchronized crackdowns this week, cutting illegals out of 13 public programs and blocking their access to federal workforce development grants.
Secretary Linda McMahon nailed it:
“The Department will ensure that taxpayer funds are reserved for citizens and individuals who have entered our country through legal means.”
Add it up:
✔️ $40 billion saved.
✔️ Decades of abuse reversed.
✔️ Taxpayer dollars protected.
This is what America First governing looks like.
Latino Support for Trump’s Deportation Blitz Surges Despite Media Spin
The media hammered the airwaves with cries of “racism.” Trump kept deporting. And guess what? Hispanic support increased.
A new Cygnal poll just dropped—and it’s a gut punch to the narrative class. Between May and July, Hispanic voter support for Trump’s mass deportation policy surged by 7 points. Half of all Hispanic voters now support deportations, including an 11-point spike in those who strongly support it.
Even black voter support is ticking up. Meanwhile, white voter support—already sky-high at 65%—held strong despite a small dip.
The story is clear: people see results. Not media hysteria.
“There’s little question that among his most attractive qualities is voters’ beliefs that he keeps his promises from the campaign,” said Cygnal’s Brent Buchanan.
Trump delivers. The voters notice. And no amount of MSNBC spin is going to put that genie back in the bottle.
Trump Reflects on Butler Assassination Attemp, Praises Hero Sniper
One year after the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump opened up about the moment he was nearly killed—and the man who saved his life.
“I didn’t know exactly what was going on. I got a whack… People were screaming, and I got down quickly,” Trump told Lara Trump on My View. A bullet pierced his upper ear. One fatally struck Corey Comperatore, a firefighter who died shielding his family.
But Trump made it out alive—thanks to “David,” a U.S. Secret Service sniper who took out the shooter, Thomas Crooks, from long range in under five seconds.
“He got him perfectly from a very long distance. If he didn’t do that, you would’ve had an even worse situation,” Trump said. “So we got a little bit lucky in that regard.”
Six Secret Service agents have since been suspended. A Senate report is expected. But Trump says he’s satisfied with the DOJ’s response so far and praised AG Pam Bondi’s leadership.
Still, he didn’t mince words about what went wrong:
“They should have had somebody in the building. That was a mistake.”
The clip of a bloodied Trump raising his fist on stage became instantly iconic. And now, one year later, the story behind that image is even more sobering: he came within inches of not surviving at all.
