Trump’s Not Waiting for Permission—And It’s Driving the Left Insane

From the streets of L.A. to the nuclear chessboard, he’s flexing executive muscle—because someone has to.

Good Morning, it’s Saturday, June 21st, 2025.

Trump just crushed Newsom in court, sent the Guard into L.A. to shut down the rioters, and is openly signaling that more sanctuary cities could be next. Meanwhile, he’s getting closer to greenlighting U.S. air support in Iran—despite the usual Beltway pearl-clutchers. The Left is rattled. The globalists are panicking. And Trump? He’s reminding the country who’s in charge. Let’s get to it.

Trump warns: ‘We saved Los Angeles — and we’re ready to save more.’

With a federal court victory in hand, Trump signals the National Guard could soon roll into other sanctuary cities if Democrat mayors won’t control the chaos.

Speaking to reporters Friday after landing in New Jersey, President Trump made it clear: he’s not backing down from using federal power to crush the riots plaguing sanctuary cities. Thanks to a fresh ruling from the Ninth Circuit, Trump now has the legal green light to keep National Guard units in Los Angeles—despite Governor Gavin Newsom’s failed lawsuit to block the move. And Trump is eyeing more cities next.

After Newsom’s allies on the bench tried to block the Guard’s deployment under a flimsy 10th Amendment argument, the Ninth Circuit smacked them down. In Trump’s words, the win proves “if our cities and our people need protection, we are the ones to give it to them.” The ruling has national implications: mayors can no longer hide behind “sanctuary” status while their cities burn.

The real fireworks came when Trump addressed the media: “We saved Los Angeles by having the military go in. Right now, you would have Los Angeles burning to the ground.” Asked whether similar action is coming to other cities, Trump hinted at a broader plan, made possible by the court’s decision to uphold his authority to federalize the Guard.

As covered by The Gateway Pundit, Newsom’s lawsuit crumbled under scrutiny—while ICE and Border Patrol agents continue deportation operations in Democrat-run hot zones. “We will continue to protect and defend law-abiding Americans,” Trump declared.

Bottom line: After crushing Antifa-led riots in L.A., Trump now holds the upper hand to bring law and order to any city where local leaders refuse to do their jobs. And judging by Friday’s tone, he’s ready to act.

Iran warns: talks are ‘a cover’ for Israeli strikes — and threatens to walk away.

Tehran accuses the US of bad faith and vows no negotiations while Israel’s attacks continue.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi blasted the Trump administration Friday, accusing it of using nuclear talks as diplomatic cover while allowing Israel to bomb Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Just days before a new round of talks was set to begin, Israeli airstrikes destroyed key facilities — and Tehran now says it won’t return to the table unless the attacks stop.

“What they did was a betrayal of diplomacy,” Araqchi told NBC News. Iran is flatly rejecting Trump’s demand for “zero enrichment” and his two-week deadline to cut a deal. Araqchi openly questioned whether Washington was ever serious about the talks — hinting they were a pretext for military escalation — and warned that if US forces join Israel in strikes, Iran will retaliate.

While US officials, led by envoy Steve Witkoff, had been pushing for a diplomatic breakthrough, Tehran now says trust is gone. “They can stop this process very quickly, and then we will consider diplomacy again,” Araqchi stated. But with Israel continuing operations and Trump weighing military options, the standoff is likely to deepen.

The full NBC News interview with Araqchi is here.

Bottom line: Iran’s message is clear — there will be no deal while Israeli bombs keep falling. And if the US moves from diplomacy to war, Iran says it’s ready to hit back.

RFK Jr. takes aim at Big Pharma’s ad game — by forcing full transparency on side effects.

A new HHS rule could gut drug companies’ glitzy ad budgets by requiring them to spell out all risks.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going straight after Big Pharma’s glossy, high-dollar ad industry — by targeting what they don’t say. His plan: force drugmakers to disclose every known side effect in their ads, knowing full well that doing so would balloon production times and costs. “It’s about transparency,” RFK Jr. says — and about stopping companies from sugarcoating serious risks.

BlazeTV’s Sara Gonzales didn’t hold back: “Those ads are pure manipulation,” she said. “It’s all slick music and dancing — while they barely whisper that your skin might melt off in 90 days.” With pharma ads averaging $3 million a pop, the industry knows this is a financial gut punch. And for Kennedy, who’s long railed against corporate influence in healthcare, it’s personal.

The new HHS proposal could kneecap the industry’s entire marketing model — and shift public focus back to natural health over “magic pills,” as Gonzales put it.

The original report via BlazeTV is here.

Bottom line: Kennedy’s move is a direct assault on Big Pharma’s PR machine — and it’s already rattling the industry.

Minnesota assassin’s letter exposes twisted motive — and why the media buried the story.

Vance Boelter killed two Democrat lawmakers — thinking he was “helping” Gov. Tim Walz’s political career.

New details from the Star Tribune reveal that Vance Boelter, the man who shot and killed Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, believed he was acting under orders from Gov. Tim Walz. The letter, found in Boelter’s abandoned car, claimed he needed to eliminate political rivals so Walz could run for Senate — despite Walz already ruling out a bid. The governor had appointed Boelter to a state board, though their relationship appears to have existed only in the killer’s delusions.

You won’t hear that on CNN — which was busy blaming Trump supporters for the attack. The letter shows no link to Trump or the right, but rather a disturbed infatuation with a Democrat leader.

What’s more damning? Walz reportedly knew about the letter on day one — yet let the media smear Trump and the GOP for days. No retraction. No apology. Just another cover-up when the facts didn’t fit the narrative.

The full breakdown was published by RedState.

Bottom line: The shooter was a left-wing loon, not a MAGA terrorist — and the press buried the truth as soon as it came out.

• President Trump suggested farmers may be allowed to keep undocumented workers already employed on their land — hinting at a carveout even as deportation crackdowns ramp up (More)

• ICE Director Tom Homan announced 1,000 deportation teams are hitting the streets nationwide to enforce Trump’s mass deportation order — “this is just the start” (More)

• Trump defends U.S. show of force in Iran standoff: “Sometimes you need some toughness to make peace” (More)

• U.S. intelligence agencies ramp up surveillance for Iran-backed sleeper cells — fears of attacks if U.S. enters the fight in Iran (More)

• Trump publicly floats firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell over slow interest rate cuts — “We can’t afford mistakes right now” (More)

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President… is morally treasonable to the American public.”

— Theodore Roosevelt

Thanks for reading today’s Daily Briefing. Here’s what matters: the corrupt Left will burn cities, rig elections, and lie about their own lunatics—but when real leadership steps in, they blink. That’s the power of fearless action. And that’s why the fight is only beginning. Stay sharp, stay ready. The next round is coming faster than they think.
