Terror Ties in Tinseltown: Feds Bust Iranian Smuggling Hub in L.A.
Biden let them in—Trump’s cleaning up the mess before it explodes.
Good Morning, it’s Monday, June 30th, 2025.
The national security alarms are screaming, and this time it’s not in D.C.—it’s right in the heart of Los Angeles. A federal sting just took down an Iranian-run human smuggling operation tied to terrorism. The same house had already harbored FBI watchlist suspects. And the kicker? It’s been operating under our noses for years. Under Biden, it was ignored. Under Trump, it’s being dismantled—one raid at a time.

They’re Here—and It’s Worse Than We Thought
Federal agents raided a Los Angeles home linked to an Iranian human smuggling operation and arrested two individuals connected to terrorism.
This wasn’t just another bust. This house has reportedly been used “repeatedly” to shelter illegal entrants tied to national security threats, including individuals on the FBI’s Terror Watchlist. According to CBP, the smuggling network is linked to adversarial regimes and poses a “direct risk” to U.S. security.
This is what open-borders insanity leads to.
Under Trump, federal agencies are back on offense—but we’re still cleaning up years of deliberate negligence. This isn’t just about border crossings anymore—it’s about hostile infiltration.
And the media? Barely a whisper. If this had happened under Biden, they’d be calling it a “logistical oversight” and moving on.
The bust comes on the heels of multiple arrests at the same LA residence earlier last week—seven Iranian nationals, some flagged on terror watchlists. CBP Assistant Commissioner Hilton Beckham credited President Trump’s policies for the operation’s success, stating clearly: “President Trump is clear: the safety of the American people comes first.”
Let that sink in.
The left spent years pretending border security was racist fear-mongering. Now we’re dealing with literal terrorism hubs on American soil.
Bottom line: Trump’s administration isn’t just cleaning up the mess—they’re exposing just how bad it got. If you’re not concerned, you’re not paying attention.
Newsom’s Dirty China Secret: Tied to the Triads, Funded by Fentanyl
Glenn Beck and Peter Schweizer just dropped a bombshell on Gavin Newsom—and it’s got nothing to do with hair gel.
Turns out California’s favorite authoritarian isn’t just a progressive poster boy—he’s neck-deep in shady financial and political relationships with Chinese organized crime. According to Schweizer, Newsom has a long, tangled history with “dragon heads” (yes, literal Chinese mafia bosses) going back to his days as mayor of San Francisco.
Here’s what was exposed:
Newsom appointed a Chinese mafia leader to run Chinatown’s economic development.
He funneled San Francisco taxpayer money to nonprofits tied to known Chinese mob figures.
He launched “ChinaSF,” a gateway for Chinese criminal-linked investment into San Francisco—partnering with Vincent Lo, a businessman publicly tied to Chinese triads.
One of his transition team members later went to prison for a murder-for-hire plot.
And when Newsom traveled to China in 2023, he refused to call out the CCP for fueling America’s fentanyl crisis. Why? Because he didn’t want to “finger-point” at the people bankrolling him.
Schweizer’s verdict: “This isn’t just corruption. It’s complicity in the destruction of American lives.”
Newsom’s defenders will brush this off as just another attack from the right. But this isn’t speculation—these are documented relationships with criminal networks. And if this were a Republican governor, the media would be melting down.
Bottom line: Gavin Newsom isn’t just soft on China—he’s in bed with them. And California is paying the price in blood, addiction, and corruption.
Trump Threatens Crackdown on Media Over Iran Strike “Leaks”
President Trump is done playing nice with leakers—and the media outlets that protect them.
In an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Trump blasted CNN and the New York Times for their coverage of the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. He didn’t just call their reporting “fake news”—he accused them of spreading deliberate misinformation and hinted that his administration could soon compel journalists to reveal their sources.
“They should be prosecuted,” Trump said bluntly when asked about the Iran strike leaks. “You go up and tell the reporter, ‘National Security, who gave it?’ … I suspect we’ll be doing things like that.”
At the center of the firestorm is a string of reports claiming the U.S. strikes “only” set back Iran’s nuclear program by a few months—contradicting administration claims that the facilities were obliterated. Trump torched those reports as dishonest, demoralizing to the military, and potentially criminal if based on classified leaks.
Here’s the kicker: Trump’s fury isn’t just about spin—it’s about national security. Leaking intel on precision military strikes could put American lives at risk and tip off adversaries like Iran.
And he’s got a point. The media’s obsession with undercutting Trump’s successes—especially on foreign policy—has reached a point where they’d rather quote anonymous intel sources than acknowledge the results: multiple nuclear sites flattened, Iranian command centers decimated, and the regime reeling.
But now, Trump’s signaling he’s done tolerating “unnamed sources” hiding behind press credentials. If the DOJ starts pressing reporters for answers, the media may finally have to decide whether it’s worth protecting leakers over the safety of American troops.
Bottom line: Trump’s message to the media is clear—lie about the military, protect traitors, and there will be consequences.
Tillis Bows Out: Trump Challenger Walks Away After “Big, Beautiful Bill” Showdown
Sen. Thom Tillis just learned what happens when you cross Trump’s base one too many times.
After voting to tank President Trump’s massive new spending and tax reform package—the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill”—Tillis announced Sunday he won’t seek re-election in 2026. The move comes less than 24 hours after Trump torched him as a “grandstander” and vowed to vet primary challengers personally.
Tillis, who’s made a name for himself siding with Democrats on key votes and criticizing “partisan gridlock,” claimed he’s stepping down to spend time with family and escape political “theater.” But let’s be real: This wasn’t some gentle retirement. This was a pre-emptive surrender.
The North Carolina Republican was already staring down a Trump-led insurgency. His vote against the bill—supposedly over concerns about Medicaid cuts—was just the final straw. Trump won the state three times, and Tillis’ moderation put him out of sync with GOP voters who want action, not excuses.
Democrats wasted no time celebrating, calling it a “blow to Republicans.” But they’re forgetting who runs the GOP now—and it’s not Mitch McConnell’s country club crowd. It’s Trump’s America First coalition.
Tillis might think his retirement is a noble stand for “independent thinking.” In reality, it’s a case study in political miscalculation. You don’t win in a red state by knifing your president and caving on his top agenda item.
Bottom line: Thom Tillis didn’t retire—Trump retired him. And it’s a warning shot for any other GOP senator thinking about playing footsie with the swamp.

Thanks for reading and riding shotgun with us through another wild week in the American circus. You’re here because you want the truth, not the sugar-coated garbage the media spoon-feeds. We’re not backing down, not selling out, and not letting go. The fight for the soul of this country is on—and this audience? You’re the tip of the spear.
They wanted us silent. We got louder.

P.S.
This L.A. smuggling hub story hit me hard. Not just because of the intel, but because of the complete lack of coverage anywhere else. Our cities are being infiltrated, and most outlets are too cowardly—or too complicit—to report it. What do you think should happen to officials who let this slide? Let me know.
One smuggling ring, seven terrorists, zero accountability under Biden.
Now imagine how many more are still hiding in plain sight.
