Posting on Truth Social Monday morning, President Donald Trump gave an update on negotiations with Iran to end the conflict. "Iranian Leadership is unbelievably duplicitous! They ask for a meeting, some would say “beg,” talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with “Oman.” They then go on to give their usual blather in saying, the Strait of Hormuz will be operated powerfully by them, when it is already completely controlled by the United States Navy and our “Blockade” or, as some say, “The United States Wall of Steel!” Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished. Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades. It is very simple, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP."

In a shocking expose, a leading mental health organization is pushing divisive and radical ideologies on its members, leaving many questioning the true purpose of their work. This episode delves into the disturbing practices of the American Psychological Association, where professionals are being taught to use cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy to advance DEI and combat racism. But is this really what mental health professionals should be focusing on? The speaker is joined by Adam Gillette, President of Accuracy in Media, who shares his organization's findings on the APA's annual conference. The conference featured a rally-like atmosphere where attendees were encouraged to use language that promotes anti-racism and anti-colonialism. Adam explains how this kind of language is not only divisive but also damaging to mental health professionals and their patients. He also highlights the alarming lack of focus on actual mental health issues and the emphasis on promoting DEI and anti-racism instead. The conversation touches on the worrying trend of DEI being pushed in various institutions, including schools, universities, and even the Department of Justice. Adam shares his concerns about the impact of this ideology on society and the need for conservatives to fight back. He also discusses the importance of holding institutions accountable and the need for states to enact laws that prohibit the promotion of identity politics in education. If you're concerned about the state of our mental health system and the ideologies being pushed on our children, tune in to this episode to hear the full conversation and learn more about the disturbing practices of the American Psychological Association.

Maryland delegate Nic Kipke joins the program to discuss the recent special session called by Governor Wes Moore and the Democrats. The focus of the session is redistricting, a contentious issue that has long plagued Maryland politics. Kipke expresses his disappointment in the partisan gerrymander that he believes silences the minority party's voice and undermines democracy. Kipke explains that Maryland has been at the forefront of gerrymandering, with efforts to eliminate free elections and rig districts for partisan advantage. He criticizes the current special session, convened during the summer tourist season, as an unnecessary move that burdens the state. The proposed redistricting plans, Kipke argues, aim to completely silence the Republican minority, which he finds immoral and detrimental to the state's democratic process. The discussion touches on the implications of such partisan politics for Maryland's representation in national affairs. Kipke highlights that having a Republican voice in Congress could benefit the state, especially when Republicans hold power in Washington, DC. He also brings up past instances where partisan actions have backfired, citing examples from other states. Despite the bleak outlook, Kipke remains hopeful that the Senate will act with integrity and establish an independent commission for redistricting, as opposed to passing partisan maps. He urges Marylanders to engage in the upcoming election, emphasizing the importance of voting and holding leaders accountable.

Authorities have not said whether Nancy Guthrie is still alive. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said “we believe these distinctive linguistic characteristics may be recognizable to someone who knows or has interacted with the notes’ writer.”

In a surprising and alarming event, on July 30th, 60,000 Arab Moroccan Muslims swarmed into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, dramatically altering its demographic landscape. This border invasion raises significant geopolitical concerns, particularly as Spain, under the leadership of leftist President Pedro Sanchez, has been advocating for open borders and recently announced plans for amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants within its borders. The incident has prompted reactions from other European leaders, such as Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, who is considering withdrawing from the Schengen Agreement's reciprocity with Spain. This event underscores the potential consequences of leftist governance and open-border policies, highlighting the risks of outsourcing national sovereignty to transnational entities. The situation in Ceuta serves as a stark warning for the United States, illustrating what could unfold if similar policies are adopted here. It emphasizes the urgent need to consider the implications of open borders and the importance of maintaining national sovereignty.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — The first two U.S. military aircraft intended to provide support for operations in the Middle East arrived Friday at an air base in southeastern Bulgaria, drawing a complaint from Iran as Bulgarian residents have also been protesting the deployment. The Trump administration has faced pushback from some European allies over the use of air bases in support of its war with Iran. But lawmakers in Bulgaria — a member of NATO and the European Union — voted earlier in July to allow the deployment of up to eight U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft, as well as 250 personnel with personal weapons and ammunition and airfield equipment, at Bezmer Air Base. Under a 2006 U.S.-Bulgaria defense agreement, the Bezmer facility, about 260 kilometers (160 miles) southeast of the capital, Sofia, is a joint-use facility. Any new use of the base requires parliamentary approval. The deployment, requested by the U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria, is authorized until Oct. 1, 2026. U.S. President Donald Trump thanked Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev in a Truth Social post for allowing the deployment “despite Iran’s threats.” On Thursday, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova assured her Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, that the deployment “in no way means a change in Bulgaria’s approach toward Iran." The two countries are important trade partners. A Bulgarian Foreign Ministry statement quoted Petrova as saying “it was out of the question" that any direct military actions linked to the conflict in the Middle East would be carried out from Bulgarian territory. The statement did not indicate what Araghchi said. But the Bulgarian state news agency, BTA, said Araghchi protested to Petrova over Bulgaria’s support for U.S. military operations against Iran during a telephone conversation initiated by the Bulgarian side. The report cited a report from Iran's state-run IRNA news agency. Residents of the village of Bezmer and nearby settlements, including the regional capital Yambol, have staged peaceful protests in recent days against the deployment of the U.S. aircraft. Government officials visited the region to address people’s fears, assuring them that the deployment is solely for logistical missions involving in-flight refueling outside Bulgarian airspace.
