President Trump received a Nobel Peace Prize nomination from Cambodia’s prime minister, Hun Manet, after helping broker a peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand. Manet cited Trump’s “decisive role” in stopping the recent conflict between the two nations. According to Reuters, Manet announced the nomination in a Facebook post, accompanied by a letter he sent to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. “This timely intervention, which averted a potentially devastating conflict, was vital in preventing a great loss of lives and paved the way towards the restoration of peace,” Manet wrote, according to the outlet.

UPDATE: Cambodia And Thailand Agree To “Immediate And Unconditional Ceasefire” – President Trump Comments The ceasefire followed President Trump speaking with the leaders of both nations. Trump said he would not move forward with trade agreements with either country while the conflict continued. President Trump Says Two Nations In Conflict Both Looking For “Immediate Ceasefire And Peace” Further info from Reuters: It was a July 26 call by Trump to the leaders of both Thailand and Cambodia that broke the deadlock in efforts to end some of the heaviest fighting between the neighbours in recent history, Reuters has reported. That led to a ceasefire negotiated in Malaysia on July 28. The two countries agreed on Thursday to ensure no reigniting of hostilities and to allow observers from Southeast Asia. In total, 43 people were killed and more than 300,000 displaced by a five-day conflict that started with small arms fire and quickly escalated into heavy artillery and rocket fire, then Thailand's deployment hours later of an F-16 fighter jet for air strikes. The nomination had been expected after Cambodia's deputy prime minister last week announced the plan, while thanking Trump for a tariff of 19% on Cambodian imports by the United States - sharply reduced from the previously threatened 49% that he said would have decimated its vital garment manufacturing sector. "In accordance with the wishes of Cambodian people both inside and outside of Cambodia, as well as to express our sincere appreciation for president Donald Trump's initiative and support contributing greatly to immediate ceasefire between Cambodian and Thai forces and his continuous attention on its successful implementation until peace is fully achieved between the two countries; I, as the Prime Minister of Cambodia, have submited to the Norwegian Nobel Committee an official letter of nomination for President Donald Trump for the Noble Peace Prize," Cambodia's Ministry of Information stated.

Amazon Web Services will provide the Trump administration a $1 billion coupon to utilize services for “cloud adaptation, modernization, and training for federal agencies.” “The agreement will accelerate large-scale IT transformation across government and spur AI innovation. AWS’s partnership with GSA demonstrates a shared public-private commitment to enhancing America’s AI leadership,” the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) stated in a release. “The Trump Administration is rapidly modernizing out-of-date government systems, streamlining processes, and delivering savings to the American taxpayer through centralized procurement,” said GSA Acting Administrator Michael Rigas. “Through this new agreement with AWS, federal agencies will be able to enhance delivery of critical services, leverage cloud and advanced AI technologies, and dramatically reduce costs,” Rigas continued. Amazon Web Services gifts $1 billion coupon to the Trump admin for cloud access https://t.co/k3I9c3MIik — John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) August 7, 2025 POLITICO shared further details: The deal, set to run through 2028, is being framed by administration officials as a cornerstone of both the administration’s AI strategy and its broader effort to modernize government IT systems. The agreement is expected to accelerate cloud adoption across dozens of civilian agencies, support workforce training in AI tools, and establish the technical infrastructure needed to power large language models and machine learning applications. It’s the second major OneGov cloud services deal since President Donald Trump’s executive order on procurement consolidation earlier this year. Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner and DOGE staffer Josh Gruenbaum, who has played a leading role in negotiating the deal, called it “a foundational piece to help implement President Trump’s AI Action Plan.” The deal provides $1 billion in credits that federal agencies can draw down on for core AWS cloud services — which will account for the majority of the $1 billion in value — as well as helping agencies shift from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud and training resources for federal employees. “A government report in March said the federal government annually spends more than $100 billion to manage IT systems, acquire new systems, or update old ones,” Reuters noted. Similar deals are reportedly in the works with other major cloud providers, including Google and Microsoft. “We’re just getting started,” a GSA official said, according to POLITICO. “This is a first-of-its-kind agreement, and there’s a lot more to come both in the cloud space and across other high-impact industries,” the official added. “Great work by @USGSA securing another strong OneGov deal to deliver $1B in savings on AWS Cloud services. As the AI revolution accelerates, affordable cloud partnerships are key to sustainable government spending,” the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) stated.

The Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability was the multi-cloud successor to the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), an IT modernization project to build a large, common commercial cloud for the Defense Department. Amazon during Trump’s first term sued after the $10 billion JEDI contract was awarded to Microsoft. Amazon said Trump exerted improper pressure on military officials to steer the contract away from the company.

The Justice Department reached a settlement with a group of federal employees and contractors who sued the Biden administration in December 2021 over COVID-19 jab mandates. “This settlement marks a significant victory for individual rights and serves as a powerful, implicit acknowledgment of the government’s overreach, achieved through Feds For Freedom’s relentless pursuit of justice,” Feds For Freedom stated in a press release. “As part of the settlement, the federal government must expunge COVID-19 vaccine status records, prohibit discrimination based on vaccine status, and reimburse a portion of Feds for Freedom’s legal fees,” it continued. BIG WIN: The federal government will no longer financially reward hospitals for reporting the vaccination rates of their staff, @HHSGov announced on Aug. 1.

Patriotic Americans, including Feds For Freedom, proudly held the line against an unprecedented attack on our most basic freedoms, withstanding years of relentless assault by petty tyrants determined to destroy our constitutional republic,” Feds For Freedom President Marcus Thornton said. The Defender has more: The federal government did not admit wrongdoing, but the settlement terms “represent a tacit acknowledgment of the harm caused by the Biden mandate,” Feds For Freedom said. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management has 60 days to issue a directive mandating the destruction of all information related to federal employees’ COVID-19 vaccine status, non-compliance with the mandate, or exemption requests from personnel files, unless an employee opts out, according to the settlement. The agreement contains “transformative measures to rectify past harms” and “delivers unprecedented protections for federal workers and sets a critical precedent for safeguarding personal medical choices, religious freedoms, and Constitutional rights,” Feds For Freedom stated. Kim Mack Rosenberg, general counsel for Children’s Health Defense, said the outcome “carries with it significant protections for federal workers.” She added: “As some of the authoritarian measures put in place by the Biden administration continue to be rolled back, federal employees have greater assurances that their individual healthcare decisions will remain private and will not impact employment — as should be the case for every American. “COVID-19 mandates did tremendous damage. This settlement is a positive step in righting some of those wrongs. I hope it has a far-reaching impact and resonance beyond federal workers.” “HUGE WIN! After 3 years, our COVID vaccine lawsuit on behalf of @feds4freedomusa has led to a sweeping settlement,” Boyden Gray PLLC wrote. “Federal agencies can’t punish employees based on COVID vax status.

The group also signaled it would assist federal workers in submitting Freedom of Information Act requests and Privacy Act requests to verify. The government will also pay a monetary settlement reimbursing some of the group’s legal fees, though some of the case was pursued pro bono. Weidle said she was “thankful but not fully satisfied” with the outcome. She pointed to what she said were mixed messages from the Trump administration, with President Donald Trump on Wednesday praising Operation Warp Speed, the 2020 sprint to develop COVID-19 vaccines, within hours of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announcing he would pivot the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority away from the mRNA platform. “But this is huge that we’ve gotten this far. Even a quiet acknowledgement from the federal government is remarkable considering that just last year the retaliation was continuing,” she said. The DCNF revealed earlier this year that of the four outside advisors handpicked by Biden’s health officials to weigh in on the mandate, the majority recommended against a two-dose mRNA vaccine mandate for individuals with natural immunity.

The Secret Service’s job is to protect the President and Vice President at all costs. And at all costs means sometimes you have to raise the water levels of a river! The U.S. Secret Service ordered engineers from the U.S. Army to raise the water levels of the Ohio River last weekend to ensure Vice President JD Vance and his family were safe during a hiking trip. AP shared why the Secret Service made the move: Vice President JD Vance’s security detail had an Ohio river’s water level raised last weekend to accommodate a kayaking trip he and his family took to celebrate his 41st birthday. The U.S. Secret Service said it requested the increased waterflow for the Little Miami River, first reported by The Guardian, to ensure motorized watercraft and emergency personnel “could operate safely” while protecting the Republican vice president, whose home is in Cincinnati. But critics immediately blasted the action as a sign of the vice president’s entitlement, particularly given the Trump administration’s focus on slashing government spending. Richard W. Painter, who served as chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, said on X that “it’s outrageous for the Army corps of engineers to spend taxpayer money to increase water flow in a river so @VP can go canoeing when budget cuts to the National Park Service have severely impacted family vacations for everyone else.” JD Vance reportedly had government engineers raise the water level in an Ohio river for his birthday kayak outing last week. pic.twitter.com/vKFsTQXC7e — FactPost (@factpostnews) August 7, 2025 The Guardian had more details to add on the Secret Service’s move: Vance was spotted in the south-western Ohio area on 2 August, his 41st birthday, according to social media posts that noted he was seen canoeing on the river, a tributary that Caesar Creek Lake feeds into. One source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-president’s Secret Service detail, but also to create “ideal kayaking conditions”. The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim. The news raises questions about whether Vance’s office was potentially exploiting public infrastructure resources for his personal recreation at a time when the Trump administration has cut billions of dollars in foreign aid, scientific research and government jobs as part of its “efficiency” drive. The vice-president’s office did not respond to a request for comment. The Guardian first approached the USACE in Louisville for a comment about the change on Tuesday. Publicly available data on the US Geological Survey (USGS) shows a sudden increase in the river level and corresponding drop in lake elevation during the early August days when Vance was vacationing.

This is truly sickening and heart-wrenching. Two high school girls from Virginia claim that officials at the school arranged abortions for them behind their parent’s backs. One of the girls was only 17 years old at the time and went through with aborting her baby. Her parents were not informed and left completely in the dark throughout the entire process. The other girl, who was already five months pregnant, did not want an abortion. She begged to keep her baby but was told by a social worker that she had no choice but to kill it. Thankfully, she had the gumption to flee the clinic and ended up having her baby. Now, these two girls are speaking out about the illegal and horrific experience. Here’s what’s being reported: Truly demonic… One girl begged to keep her baby, but she was told she HAD NO CHOICE and had to get an abortion by School officials orchestrating secret abortions.https://t.co/v1XR0X7axw pic.twitter.com/a67t00xT03 — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) August 8, 2025 NEW: Fairfax High Abortion Cover-Up—Secret Trips, No Parents, Two Minors Speak Out Two Centreville High School students have provided letters, audio recordings, and additional documents showing that staff arranged and paid for their abortions—one when she was five months… pic.twitter.com/1UE1AgeccI — Walter Curt (@WCdispatch_) August 6, 2025 NEW: Fairfax High Abortion Cover-Up—Secret Trips, No Parents, Two Minors Speak Out Two Centreville High School students have provided letters, audio recordings, and additional documents showing that staff arranged and paid for their abortions—one when she was five months pregnant—without notifying parents, a direct violation of Virginia’s parental-notification statute. Both girls told a trusted teacher they were driven to Fairfax Healthcare Center, where school employees covered the cost and swore them to secrecy; one guardian confirms on tape that no consent was requested or granted. State law allows only a court-ordered bypass, yet no such filings exist. With physical evidence now in investigators’ hands, the scandal raises the chilling question: If there are two documented cases, how many more girls were funneled through this off-books pipeline? This isn’t an abortion debate—it’s state-sponsored child coercion and a flashing red siren for parental rights. Fairfax County’s bureaucrats skipped cops, judges, and moms and dads to push terrified teens through a clinic door, and every official who signed off must face a criminal probe. Governor Youngkin and Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears should haul the county into public hearings today, because if the Commonwealth tolerates one district hijacking parental authority, no family is safe. Voters will remember who stood silent when their daughters were betrayed. Here’s a handwritten statement from one of the girls (an ESL student) who got an abortion without her parents’ consent through the school: This isn’t just downright evil — it’s clearly illegal. Because she was a minor, this is a blatant violation of state law. Generally, a physician must certify, in a written statement, that at least one parent has consented before an abortion can take place. Grok explained: Under Virginia law, specifically Virginia Code § 16.1-241, minors (individuals under the age of 18 who are not emancipated) are generally required to involve a parent or authorized person in the decision to obtain an abortion. The key points are: Parental Notification and Consent: A physician must notify at least one authorized person (defined as a parent, legal guardian, custodian, or person standing in loco parentis, such as a grandparent or adult sibling with whom the minor regularly resides) of the minor’s intent to have an abortion at least 24 hours prior to the procedure. Written consent from an authorized person is required, which must be notarized and witnessed by the physician or an agent. The law mandates that the minor’s parent or authorized person be involved unless an exception applies. Definition of “Unemancipated Minor”: An “unemancipated minor” is someone under 18 who has not been emancipated through marriage (prior to July 1, 2024, or lawfully in another state/country), active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, living separately with parental consent, or a court order of emancipation. Judicial Bypass Option: If a minor cannot or does not wish to involve a parent (e.g., due to abuse, neglect, or lack of consent), she may petition a juvenile and domestic relations district court for a judicial bypass. The court must hold a hearing within 4 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) of the petition being filed. The minor must demonstrate either: She is mature and capable of giving informed consent. Notification or consent is not in her best interest (e.g., if the authorized person is abusive or neglectful). If the judge finds that notification is not in the minor’s best interest, the requirement can be waived, though the court may still allow the procedure with only judicial approval. The minor has the right to a free attorney and a guardian ad litem if appointed by the court. Allegedly, the principal of the school knew everything and green-lighted the abortions himself. WC Dispatch has more harrowing details on the alleged abortion cover-up: That letter alone would be enough to raise the hair on the back of a patriotic taxpayer’s neck, but there is more. A second Centreville minor, five months pregnant and wavering, was allegedly told by the same social worker that she “had no other choice.” The girl, terrified, ultimately bolted from the clinic rather than go through with the procedure. She later confided in her teacher, Mrs. Zenaida Perz, who allowed her name to be used on the record and provided The W.C. Dispatch a recording of the family confirming that no one at the school had ever informed them of the intent to terminate their daughter’s pregnancy. I have reviewed the audio in full and verified its content, it’s heartbreaking. Both incidents, sources say, were green‑lighted by Principal Chad Lehman and financed—again, allegedly—through school funds, meaning taxpayer dollars may have underwritten clandestine abortions carried out on minors without parental knowledge. If even half of these claims prove accurate, someone at the county office is writing checks that violate both state law and every standard of parental authority we once took for granted. And if two girls can name the same counselor, the same clinic, and the same pattern of coercion, what are the odds they are the only ones? Fairfax County Public Schools serves more than 180,000 students; even a “one‑percent problem” would translate into dozens of frightened daughters being hustled through a bolted door in a nondescript office building that neighbors recall is “always locked.” Fairfax County Public Schools is currently investigating the claims. Local news outlet WJLA reported: On Wednesday, 7News reached out to FCPS about these claims. FCPS said, “We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021. We are launching an immediate and comprehensive investigation as we take all concerns of student wellbeing very seriously.” 7News asked if FCPS staff members ever arranged abortions for students, and if did they do so in this case? FCPS replied, “Not to [our] knowledge. We have launched an immediate investigation into these concerns as soon as we were made aware.” 7News also asked FCPS for their standard operating procedure for when a student inquires about an abortion with an FCPS employee. Although FCPS’s policy states, “every effort shall be made to encourage and support students suspecting pregnancy to discuss their concerns with their parents or guardians,” it does not require, or even suggest, FCPS employees should inform the parents about those conversations. Honestly, I truly hope these claims aren’t true. But, the sad truth is, we live in a dark world. If the horrific allegations do prove to be true, then every school official and social worker involved is criminally liable. Prosecute that evil principal and social worker to the fullest extent of the law. On another note, if you have kids in high school — daughters, especially — then, this is your reminder to stay involved in their lives and aware of what’s happening at school. It’s sad that we can’t always trust those who are supposed to be helping and educating our children.
