IRAN IS NEARING THE BREAKING POINT AND TRUMP IS CALLING ON THE PEOPLE TO RISE UP

This is the story of the day and it is massive.

Fox News is reporting this morning that Iran is nearing its breaking point as Trump publicly calls on the Iranian people to rise up against their own regime. Trump said Wednesday that the US is prepared to strike Iran “anytime we want” and that the regime is “getting weaker and weaker by the day.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dropped a bombshell at the G20 finance summit Tuesday that every American needs to hear: “In two years, the Strait of Hormuz will be a worthless piece of water.” Bessent explained that kinetic strikes, sanctions, and the blockade have been a “crippling trifecta” on Iran and that the Middle East is already building pipelines to bypass the strait entirely.

Let that sink in. Trump’s strategy isn’t just winning the war. It’s making the war irrelevant by eliminating Iran’s ability to hold the world’s energy supply hostage ever again. Two years from now, the strait Iran has been weaponizing for decades won’t matter anymore. America wins. Permanently.

Trump said Wednesday the renewed fighting will not last “too long” and that the US is ready to strike “at any time.” Maximum pressure. Maximum results.

JD VANCE HOLDS WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING FIRST IN MONTHS

Big news from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Vice President JD Vance held a White House press briefing today the first such briefing since former press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s departure at the end of last month and the first full press briefing since July 23.

Vance stepped up to the podium in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room and faced the press corps head-on. This is what real leadership looks like the Vice President of the United States walking into a room full of hostile reporters and taking their questions directly.

The briefing covered Iran, the midterms, and the administration’s domestic agenda. Vance was sharp, confident, and direct exactly what Americans expect from the man a heartbeat from the presidency.

DEMOCRATS ARE FALLING APART AND JEFFRIES IN TROUBLE

Here is the story the left doesn’t want you to see heading into the midterms.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is reportedly in a tough spot after two Democrats Representatives Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington blindsided their own caucus by voting with Republicans on a rule that salvaged much of the GOP’s September legislative agenda.

Two Democrats. Crossed the aisle. Saved the Republican agenda. On the eve of midterm elections.

The left is furious. Some Democrats want Golden and Gluesenkamp Perez stripped of committee assignments. Others are warning that punishing them would backfire badly in their competitive districts. Jeffries is caught in the middle unable to discipline his own caucus without alienating moderates he desperately needs.

Mike Johnson is warning Jeffries directly as the Democrat divide over socialism deepens. The Democrat Party is fracturing in real time 60 days before an election they claimed they would win. This is what a party in chaos looks like.

MAMDANI’S NEW YORK: HATE CRIMES AGAINST JEWS SURGE 15.8%

Breitbart’s John Nolte has the story New York’s mainstream media is burying and every American needs to see it.

New York City hate crimes are up 15.8% under socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani from 367 in 2025 to 425 so far this year. Crimes against Jewish New Yorkers are surging. Open season has been declared on the Jewish community in America’s largest city.

This is what happens when you elect a man like Mamdani. New Yorkers voted for him. New Yorkers are now getting exactly what they voted for.

The one bright spot? NYPD crime statistics show New York just enjoyed its safest summer on record overall because Trump’s deportation of illegal alien criminals is working, even in a city that fought his policies every step of the way. Imagine what New York could be with a mayor who actually supported law enforcement.

MINNEAPOLIS MASS SHOOTING SHOOTER WAS KNOWN TO POLICE

A 35-year-old man shot six people including two police officers in a Minneapolis apartment building Wednesday afternoon. Two innocent civilians were killed. The alleged shooter is also deceased.

And the critical detail is: the shooter was known to police.

Known to police. Again. This is the pattern. The same pattern we see in city after city run by Democrats who defunded police, emptied prisons, and let dangerous individuals walk free until they killed someone. Minneapolis. Democrat-run. Another preventable tragedy.

Trump’s law and order agenda exists for exactly this reason.

USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN DOCKS IN THAILAND

After an unprecedented wartime deployment of more than 240 days at sea the longest uninterrupted carrier deployment in American history the USS Abraham Lincoln has finally docked in Thailand.

These are American heroes. These sailors served their country through the most demanding deployment in modern naval history maintaining American power projection in the most contested waterway on earth for 240 consecutive days. They deserve a hero’s welcome, rest, and the gratitude of every American.

Trump has nominated Hung Cao as Navy Secretary a Vietnamese-American combat veteran and former congressional candidate to lead the Navy going forward. A strong pick for a branch that just proved its extraordinary capability and endurance.

TRUMP NOMINATES HUNG CAO AS NAVY SECRETARY

Trump nominated Hung Cao as Navy Secretary this week a Vietnamese-American who served in the US Navy and ran for Senate in Virginia. Cao is a combat veteran, a patriot, and exactly the kind of leader the Navy needs after the most intense operational period it has seen in decades.

Some GOP lawmakers are calling for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s ouster but Trump is standing firm behind his team. The president picked these people. He trusts them. And the results speak for themselves.

CHEVRON PLEDGES $7 BILLION IN VENEZUELA

Fresh off Trump’s historic Venezuela oil deal the biggest in world history Chevron has pledged $7 billion in investment into Venezuelan oil infrastructure.

Seven billion dollars. In investment. Flowing into the deal Trump secured. American energy companies putting real money behind the president’s vision. The deal isn’t just a headline it’s producing real investment, real jobs, and real energy security for America.

US Energy Secretary Doug Burgum is touting the oil and gas deal across the globe. The world is watching. And the world is investing in Trump’s America First energy vision.
