 This case exposes a stark divide in how our leaders view justice and American safety. While one side pardons a convicted child predator who repeatedly assaulted a 10-year-old girl, excusing his actions under the guise of rehabilitation and sanctuary policies, the other takes decisive action to remove the threat entirely. Marco Rubio’s swift intervention ensured this dangerous individual was deported, protecting families from further harm.

Our communities deserve leaders who put citizens first, not criminals who exploit our generosity. Tim Walz’s decision to grant clemency to an illegal immigrant with such a heinous record shows a willingness to defy federal immigration law and endanger the vulnerable. True leadership means enforcing borders and laws without apology.

Republicans continue to prove they stand for law and order, prioritizing the safety of our children and sovereignty of our nation. This isn’t just about one case—it’s about rejecting policies that invite chaos and embracing those that restore security and common sense to America.

 President Trump is showing the world what real leadership looks like. By making it crystal clear that any attack on him by Iran will be met with overwhelming force, he is sending a powerful message of deterrence that weak politicians have failed to deliver for years. America needs this kind of strength to protect our interests and our people.

Iran has targeted our President for far too long, celebrating violence and plotting against those who stand for freedom. Trump’s direct warning puts our enemies on notice that the days of empty talk and appeasement are over. Our military stands ready because he refuses to back down.

This approach brings peace through strength, putting American safety first and reminding the world that we will not tolerate threats against our nation or its leaders. We stand firmly behind President Trump as he keeps America secure and respected on the global stage.

 Israel has reportedly warned the United States about an alleged new Iranian assassination plot targeting President Donald Trump, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to rise.

The reported intelligence comes amid longstanding threats from Iran following the 2020 U.S. strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. U.S. officials have previously acknowledged ongoing concerns about potential Iranian retaliation against current and former American officials involved in the operation.

While attending the recent NATO summit, Trump said Iran wants him dead, stating, "I'm number one on the kill list," underscoring the continued security concerns surrounding the reported threats.

The report is drawing international attention as U.S. and Israeli officials closely monitor regional tensions and potential threats against current and former American leaders.

Missouri flooding: Dozens of water rescues reported, campground building collapses into floodwaters

 

Dozens of people were rescued Friday in Missouri amid rapidly rising floodwaters, including several campers who took shelter on the roof of a building that collapsed, authorities said.

Initial reports from the Reynolds County Sheriff's Office indicated 10 to 17 individuals, who were on the roof awaiting rescue, may have entered the water as a result of the collapse.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol later said the campers were safe and have been rescued.

Overall, more than 90 water rescues were conducted involving residents, campers and motorists affected by the flooding, the sheriff's office said.

Five campers who were previously reported missing from Bearcat Getaway Campground were later located and accounted for, authorities said.

In neighboring Iron County, campers at the Taum Sauk campsite were alerted about 2:30 a.m. to the rising water levels after the area saw more than 12 inches of rain, Kate Moore, the public information officer for Missouri Region C Incident Support Team, told KFVS-12 Heartland News.

The campers, about 168 teens and 60 adults, were airlifted out of the flooded area by National Guard helicopters, Moore said.

She said there were no reports of any deaths or any missing people.

People remain stranded by the high waters, she added. "But they're OK. They're just stranded because the roads are washed away. We have a lot of damage, the trees, buildings, a lot of things have gone and ripped the roads away," she said.

A In nearby Crawford County, one person remains missing following flooding, authorities said. Search efforts involving the sheriff's office, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and other agencies will resume Saturday morning after being suspended overnight.

The governor of Missouri declared a state of emergency on Friday in response to flash flooding.

"Over the past 24 hours, intense storms have created dangerous flash flooding across several regions of Missouri, resulting in multiple swift-water rescues. Activating the State Emergency Operations Plan allows our agencies to move quickly, coordinate resources, and support local response efforts," Gov. Mike Kehoe said in a statement Friday.

With additional heavy rain expected through the weekend, the threat is not over. If you're camping, floating, or spending time near rivers and streams, move to higher ground and stay alert of weather conditions," Kehoe said. "Missourians should continue to monitor local forecasts and follow the guidance of local authorities."

This emergency includes recreational places such as Johnson's Shut-Ins and Taum Sauk Mountain State Park. Towns in the emergency include Viburnum, Annapolis, Glover, Oates, Bixby, Lesterville, Black, Hogan, Chloride and Sabula.

Additional rounds of heavy rain and storms will continue from the central Plains east to the Ohio Valley and interior parts of the Northeast through this weekend.

There is a level 3 of 4 (moderate risk) for excessive rainfall over already hard-hit southeastern Missouri on Friday. Also, a level 2 of 4 (slight risk) for excessive rainfall from parts of the Mid-Mississippi Valley to the Central Appalachians.

White House entrance undergoing 'security enhancements and upgrades'

 Security enhancements are underway on the North Portico of the White House, according to a White House official.

The work to the entrance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is for "security enhancements and upgrades," the official said, and is expected to be finished around mid-September.

It's not yet clear what the security enhancements entail.

Security enhancements are underway on the North Portico of the White House, according to a White House official.

The work to the entrance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is for "security enhancements and upgrades," the official said, and is expected to be finished around mid-September.

It's not yet clear what the security enhancements entail.

The project has been covered up by large tarps that have columns and a lamp printed on the side to mimic the existing portico.

The new security project comes as work was already being done to the front face of the White House.

In late June, scaffolding went up around the columns around the front door of the building, which a White House official said at the time is "standard restoration work" to repair the stone columns.

Separately, the Trump administration is proposing a project that would fence off Lafayette Park and possibly even Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House citing security risks, according to a plan submission from the Commission of Fine Arts. 

"The concept approach may include discreet fencing, monitoring systems, and alarms, applied in a way that preserves day-to-day openness while enabling temporary closures when required," according to the plan submission, which includes multiple options for permanent 8 or 9-foot non-scalable fencing around Lafayette Park and possibly even Pennsylvania Avenue. 

The commission is to discuss the proposal at a meeting on July 16.

The plan pointed to the current temporary fencing and bike racks that have been installed to close off the park to visitors, but said those temporary measures are "not sustainable" in the long-term.

The plan also said that Lafayette Park and Pennsylvania Avenue are a "focal point" for the public to gather for demonstrations. They said that there have been assemblies that "elevate into non-peaceful demonstration."

A permanent fence that is properly anchored would provide separation which would assist in de-escalating most potentially violent protest," the plan added.

The Trump administration has undertaken several other projects around the People's House since the president returned to office. 

On the South Lawn, a granite helipad is currently being constructed for Marine One. Trump announced last week the multimillion-dollar helipad would be paid for by Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin.

Trump's transformation of the White House also includes demolishing the East Wing last year to make way for construction of his massive White House ballroom. Trump has described the project, which faces legal challenges, as a "shield" and fortress for future presidents.

Trump has also paved over the grass at the White House Rose Garden to create a patio with tables, and erected two massive flagpoles on the North and South lawns. He also installed plaques underneath portraits of presidents along the West Wing Colonnade, dubbed the "Presidential Walk of Fame."

Some of the projects have drawn opposition. The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to block construction of the White House ballroom, and a U.S. District Court judge issued an order halting work -- but that order was later put on hold as an appeals court hears the case.

BREAKING: PARAGUAYAN LAWYER CONFIRMS MBAPPE COULD FACE TRIAL IN PARAGUAY 🇵🇾⚖️

LEGAL PROBLEMS FOR FRENCH?

Paraguayan lawyer Guillermo Duarte Cacavelos explained that Senator Celeste Amarilla could not be prosecuted or extradited to France, because, from his point of view, the facts attributed to her do not represent a d3l1th according to Paraguayan law.

However, he pointed out that the situation would be different for Kylian Mbappé. According to the lawyer, the striker could face a defamation suit and slander due to posts he made on social networks against the lawmaker.

Also, he indicated that such comments could generate legal consequences within Paraguay and even pointed out that, if a legal action succeeds, the footballer's extr**%d1tion could be requested.

U.S. STRIKES IRAN AGAIN AS TENSIONS REACH A NEW LEVEL

 U.S. STRIKES IRAN AGAIN AS TENSIONS REACH A NEW LEVEL 🇺🇸🇮🇷

The conflict is escalating fast. New U.S. military strikes have reignited fears that the crisis could spiral into something much bigger.

⚠️ THE PRESSURE IS RISING

U.S. officials say the latest operation targeted military sites linked to threats against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iranian media reported explosions in several southern cities and claimed infrastructure was damaged during the attacks.

🔥 THE WARNING THAT SHOOK THE REGION

President Donald Trump called the strikes a response to attacks on commercial vessels and warned that any further action against U.S. interests would trigger an even stronger response.

Iranian officials, on the other hand, say civilian infrastructure was also affected and have signaled that retaliation remains on the table.

😨 THE WORLD IS WATCHING

One decision. One response. One mistake could push this confrontation into an even more dangerous chapter.

France beats Morocco 2-0 in the World Cup quarterfinals

 

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Kylian Mbappé had a goal and an assist after missing a first-half penalty kick, Ousmane Dembélé also scored and France beat Morocco 2-0 Thursday in the World Cup quarterfinals.

Mbappé's goal in the 60th minute was the 20th of his World Cup career and came in his 20th match at the tournament, moving him one behind Argentina captain Lionel Messi. Dembélé scored his fifth goal of the tournament in the 66th.

Mbappé was taken down in the 76th minute and was taken off for a substitute a minute later. He was then shown sitting on the bench with an ice pack on his right ankle.

After the match and with both shoes on, Mbappé ran and jumped in celebration with his teammates.

France will face either Spain or Belgium in the semifinals in Dallas on Tuesday.

France beat Morocco by the same score in the semifinals of the 2022 tournament in Qatar when the Atlas Lions became the first African team to make it that far. France now remains on track to become only the third nation to play in the final of three consecutive World Cups.

Mbappé got his goal with a perfectly placed shot just inside the far post after Morocco failed to clear the ball. He received the ball just outside the area, took a couple steps forward and then sent his shot sailing into the net. He extended both arms and ran to the sideline to celebrate with his teammates.

France's second goal came after Mbappé took a pass and tapped it back for Dembélé. Mbappé kept running forward and took defenders with him, opening space for Dembélé's shot.

France held a 21-4 advantage in shots on goal and 8-1 edge in shots on target for the game.

“We are very disappointed. We wanted to go on,” Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi said. “When we had ball possession, our transitions were not great and we had to run a little more. Their players were in their comfort zone.”

Mbappé also had the first shot on goal of the game, just missing wide right in the fourth minute. Then, in the 25th, he was running up the left side when he was chopped down in the box by Morocco defender Noussair Mazraoui. Referee Facundo Tello quickly pointed to the penalty spot.

Mbappé lined up waiting for his attempt but was held up by a lengthy video review. He was finally cleared to shoot in the 28th minute, but after a hesitation, Mbappé’s shot toward the right corner was corralled by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who guessed the direction of the shot correctly.

Mbappé made his only other penalty attempt at this year's World Cup in France’s 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the round of 16.

Still, France was by far the more active team offensively in the first half, holding a 13-1 advantage in shots on goal.

Morocco’s best opportunity came just before the halftime whistle when Achraf Hakimi sent a free kick from just outside the box past the right post.

Bahrain, Kuwait targeted by Iranian drones and missiles following US strikes

 

Bahrain, Kuwait targeted by Iranian drones and missiles following US strikes

Bahrain and Kuwait came under attack from missiles and drones on Thursday, their respective militaries said, as the Iranian military said it had launched attacks targeting U.S. bases in both countries.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said the aerial attacks were a retaliation for U.S. strikes against Iran, according to a statement published by Iranian state media outlets.

The military in Bahrain said that "Iran is persisting in its systematic hostile approach through heinous attacks involving missiles and drones targeting civilians in the Kingdom of Bahrain."

The country’s air defense systems destroyed "a number" of Iranian aerial attacks, the Bahrain Defence Force said in a social media post.

Kuwait earlier on Thursday said its air defense systems were "confronting hostile missile and drone attacks," but stopped short of identifying where those attacks were coming from.

"The General Staff of the Army notes that if explosion sounds are heard, they are the result of air defense systems intercepting the hostile attacks," the Kuwait Army said on social media.

US forces complete 2nd round of strikes, striking 90 military targets: CENTCOM

U.S. forces have completed an additional round of strikes against Iran, striking roughly 90 military targets, U.S. Central Command said in an update late Wednesday.

CENTCOM said the targets included air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline.

The strikes "further degrade Iran's ability to attack commercial shipping and innocent civilian mariners in the Strait of Hormuz."

The night before, CENTCOM said U.S. forces hit approximately 80 Iranian military targets.

Strait of Hormuz will only open with 'Iranian arrangement,' lead negotiator says

In a social media post, lead Iranian negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said the Strait of Hormuz would only open with "Iranian arrangements."

"America still hasn’t learned that bullying and breaking promises are no longer cost-free," Ghalibaf said in the post, originally in Persian. " Let me put it plainly: if you strike, you’ll get hit. Don’t flail around pointlessly, or you’ll sink even deeper: the Strait of Hormuz will only open with 'Iranian arrangements,' not American threats

Trump says strikes 'retribution' for Strait of Hormuz attacks

President Donald Trump emphasized that today's additional strikes on Iran were conducted as "retribution" after Iran attacked three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

"This is in retribution for yesterday's bombing of ships by Iran," he said in a new social media post.

Trump issued another stark warning to Iran, saying, "If it happens again, it will get much worse!"

Trump's post included an image purportedly showing explosions in Iran that had been posted on a different social media account.

That image appears to be from a June incident in Tehran and was likely altered using AI. ABC News has reached out to the White House for comment on the image.

Vance vows US will 'punch back harder than ever' if Iran continues attacks

During remarks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Vice President JD Vance doubled down on the president’s criticism of Iran’s recent escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, vowing that the U.S. will “punch back harder than ever before" -- though he declined to elaborate on whether the U.S. will be striking on Wednesday.

“The basic deal that we cut was we’ll lift our blockade if you stop shooting at ships. But if you shoot at ships, we are going to punch back and we're going to punch back harder than ever before,” Vance said.

The vice president also criticized Iran for going back on its word, saying it was only “well-behaved for about a week.”

“They said they would stop shooting at ships, and what happened 24 hours ago? They start shooting at ships again,” Vance said. “Now they were good, they were well-behaved for about a week, but then they start shooting at ships.”

“So the deal is very simple: if they shoot at ships, we're going to knock the hell out of them, and it's that simple, and that’s the basic way it’s gonna work,” he added.

Despite this setback, Vance maintained that the U.S. holds the power in negotiations with “maximum leverage and maximum strength.”

Iranian minister says Tehran will respond 'with action' after Trump's 'scum' remarks

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran does not respond to "vulgarity with vulgarity," but rather "with action: fearlessly and with great valor," in a post on X Wednesday.

While Araghchi did not directly mention President Donald Trump's comments to reporters, the post came after his remarks about Iranian leaders, describing them as "scum" on Tuesday evening and again on Wednesday.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei also said the U.S. has challenged a clause in the Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries that "emphasizes the Islamic Republic of Iran's responsibility in determining arrangements for the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz," in another post on X.

Baqaei added that the MoU "was not established on the basis of trust, but rather on the clear mechanism of commitment for commitment," and that Iran will "steadfastly pursue the protection of its national interests and the exercise of its sovereignty."

Trump says he is 'No. 1 one on the kill list' for Iran as he leaves Turkey on old Air Force One

President Donald Trump was pressed on his plans to leave Turkey in the old Air Force One after he repeatedly emphasized on Wednesday that Iran desired to assassinate him.

Asked if security concerns caused the change in flight plans, Trump said, "I'm No. 1 on the kill list for Iran."

"So, I don’t know, I can’t really tell you that. But I don't really care because I'm doing my job and I'm doing it, I hope, better than anybody has ever done it," Trump added.
