President Donald Trump reportedly entered the Situation Room on Wednesday as at least three Iranian planes landed in Muscat, the capital city of Oman.

Karen Read was acquitted Wednesday of murdering her Boston police officer boyfriend in a case that exposed a flawed investigation and allegations that authorities conspired to frame her for his death. The case began when Read was accused of leaving her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, to die in a 2022 snowstorm after allegedly hitting him with her Lexus outside a suburban Boston house party, per the New York Post. In her Wednesday retrial, Read, 45, was found guilty only of operating under the influence of liquor — a lesser sub-charge of the manslaughter count — resulting in a sentence of one year of probation. Jurors acquitted her of second-degree murder and leaving the scene of an accident causing death after deliberating for about three full days, according to the New York Post. “No one has fought harder for justice for John O’Keefe than I have — Than I have, and my team,” Read told reporters outside the courthouse, thanking her loyal advocates. As the Daily Wire previously reported, this was Read’s second trial after a hung jury led to a mistrial last year. The retrial began in April and featured key differences, including the absence of lead investigator Michael Proctor, who was fired after sending lewd texts about Read during the first trial, calling Read a “wack job c***.” Proctor’s misconduct, combined with other evidence of police misconduct throughout the investigation, put the spotlight on Read’s trial, garnering her thousands of supporters who came out in droves to support her at the retrial. “We’re all Karen Read,” one supporter told NBC 10 Boston following the trial, while another exclaimed, “God blessed Karen Read. She didn’t even get to mourn John’s death,” per the Post. Read’s defense team argued that O’Keefe was actually beaten, bitten by a dog, and then left outside the Canton home in freezing temperatures, claiming authorities constructed a conspiracy to frame her for his death. The jury’s decision came after a confusing sequence of events on Wednesday afternoon. The jury initially indicated they had reached a verdict, then quickly informed a court officer they had changed their minds, before finally confirming they had reached a decision shortly after Judge Beverly Cannone provided an update. During deliberations, jurors asked several questions that suggested they were unlikely to find Read guilty of killing O’Keefe, including inquiries about the timeframe for the drunk driving charge. The jury ultimately spent approximately three days deliberating before delivering their verdict. Several people close to O’Keefe before his death released a statement decrying the verdict as a “devastating miscarriage of justice.” “They have suffered through so much and deserved better from our justice system. While we may have more to say in the future, today we mourn with John’s family and lament the cruel reality that this prosecution was infected by lies and conspiracy theories spread by Karen Read, her defense team, and some in the media,” the statement read. According to NBC, several people who signed the statement were accused by Read’s defense of being possible suspects in the death of O’Keefe, but were not adequately investigated due to police misconduct.

Avowed leftist Mark Ruffalo is at it again, claiming that “billionaires” are the real problem while immigrants contribute nothing but hard work and prosperity to the country. The 57-year-old “Avengers” actor spoke on the topic while attending one of several “No Kings” protest rallies that took place over the weekend. A video of his rant began circulating on social media. Ruffalo said in the video that “immigrants aren’t the criminals,” claiming they “add to our economy by the billions.” He also said white people commit “most of the crimes” in society. The actor said billionaires are “the true villains,” and the ones who are “really making our lives unbearable and making us so desperate.”     View this post on Instagram   A post shared by New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) (@thenyic) “It’s time to take our country back from that extreme wealth that has its hands all over the power of the nation,” said Ruffalo, whose estimated net worth is around $35 million.  Many social media commenters called out the Hulk actor for his comments, pointing out how immigrants who came here illegally are technically criminals. “How is he that rich but also that stupid?” one person wondered. “This does prove what a great actor he is. Mark can play the brilliant Bruce Banner despite his extremely limited grasp on reality and logic,” another said.  “I think he took one too many headshots from Thanos,” another commenter joked. Several days ago, the actor went off on President Trump and ICE enforcement in another social media post, Variety reported. “You want to get rid of the people who are picking your food, without a care in the world for who is poisoning your bodies with chemicals that aren’t ever meant to be in nature. You want to drive out those who make your life easier but not question those who dull your minds with lies and disinformation meant to confuse you and destroy brotherly and sisterly love for us here? You’re pointing your guns in the wrong direction,” he wrote in the lengthy screed. “The president is a grifter,” Ruffalo continued. “His family is raking it in with their bitcoin con, the dopey tech billionaire takes your tax money to make himself richer than any person in the history of mankind with his pipe dream of living on Mars, while you starve, while you worry, while he gleefully lets people with AIDS, people suffering famine, or persecution or political danger silently die. He fires your family members, and stops cancer research to help cure the ones you love.”

Trump’s hardline deportation agenda is back on track after Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem pushed back against Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ attempt to spare farmworkers from removal. The power struggle reveals the administration’s unwavering commitment to addressing America’s illegal immigration crisis despite internal policy debates. Trump’s Inner Circle Battles Over Deportation Priorities A brief but intense policy battle erupted within the Trump administration when Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins suggested exempting agricultural and hospitality workers from mass deportation efforts. Her intervention temporarily convinced President Trump to pause ICE operations in these sectors, setting off alarm bells for immigration hawks Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Advisor Kristi Noem. The policy reversal was swift after Miller and Noem made their case directly to Trump, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a consistent enforcement approach. ICE has now resumed operations across all sectors as the administration pushes forward with its promise to remove millions of illegal immigrants who entered the country during the Biden years. White House Dismisses Reports of Internal Conflict Despite reports of heated disagreements, the White House maintains that the administration remains unified in its immigration enforcement goals. “The entire Trump Administration is moving in the same direction to fulfill the President’s promises and remove illegal aliens from the United States,” said White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson, downplaying any suggestion of serious internal divisions. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem rushed to the hospital due to lack of cognitive function. Reports say doctors are having a hard time locating her brain. pic.twitter.com/SOyRsywb0y — Redacted (@FacelessIdea) June 17, 2025 The Department of Homeland Security quickly reversed the temporary pause on agricultural and hospitality raids that had been ordered by ICE official Tatum King. Sources familiar with the matter indicate that President Trump personally directed ICE to continue with the planned mass deportations, with special emphasis on Democratic-led sanctuary cities. Budget Battles Loom Over Enforcement Push The administration’s aggressive deportation agenda faces potential funding challenges as some Congressional Republicans express concern about overspending. ICE is currently being pushed to double its daily apprehension numbers, with senior White House officials like Miller expecting results regardless of budgetary limitations. “You think that Stephen Miller is going to accept, ‘sorry Stephen, I’m just waiting on my annual appropriation, I’ll get back to you?'” one administration official told Politico, highlighting the pressure being placed on enforcement agencies. The White House is urging Senate Republicans to pass a comprehensive tax and spending package that would provide additional funding for border security initiatives. It is offensive that a successful woman is mocked in a headline like this – and all the cowardly women who march for women’s rights are silent ⁦@KristiNoem⁩ pic.twitter.com/lweddTWLCJ — Greta Van Susteren (@greta) June 18, 2025 Left-wing immigration groups have seized on reports of the policy shift, with America’s Voice spokesperson Vanessa Cárdenas attempting to portray the administration as inconsistent. However, White House officials have reaffirmed that while dangerous criminals remain the priority, “anyone who is in the United States illegally is, and has always been, at risk of deportation.” Sources: Trump admin shrugs off congressional concerns over ICE spending – POLITICO Stephen Miller and ICE Barbie in Bitter West Wing Civil War Over Round-Ups

Parents nationwide are sounding the alarm over explicit content at so-called “family-friendly” Pride events. As children are exposed to graphic sexual displays, outraged communities are demanding action to defend traditional values and restore decency in public spaces. Graphic Displays at Dallas Pride Event Raise Alarm What was advertised as an “All Ages” Pride event in Dallas, Texas has ignited fierce backlash after video footage showed scantily clad men, sexualized merchandise, and adult-themed performances—all in front of children. Families who attended expecting a light-hearted celebration of inclusion were shocked to witness overt sexual content, sparking immediate outrage. Critics argue these events are part of a broader push to desensitize children and erode parental rights, warning that this is not about inclusion—but indoctrination. “This isn’t about love or acceptance,” one Dallas parent said. “It’s about breaking down moral barriers.” Millions of gay people are fed up of having their sexuality weaponised and told it’s the most important thing about them. Furthermore, LGBT organisations have consistently pushed a far-left agenda, going as far as advocating for mutilating children and creating a cult-like… pic.twitter.com/hoIsnPidgd — Alex Armstrong (@alexharmstrong) June 3, 2025 Faith Leaders and Parents Demand Moral Clarity The backlash isn’t limited to Texas. Communities nationwide are organizing to oppose the rise of sexualized content at ‘family’ events, pushing back against LGBTQ curricula in public schools and the creeping normalization of adult themes in youth spaces. A @CamaraLisboa, sob a liderança de @Moedas, tem promovido ativamente a ideologia LGBT, investindo em eventos e campanhas que são degradantes e desviam recursos que importam Enquanto os portugueses enfrentam dificuldades a autarquia prioriza esta agenda, que é uma palhaçada. pic.twitter.com/6VcPYF3rSj — A Voz do Povo (@vozdopovopt) June 14, 2025 Faith leaders are calling for a return to biblical values, urging churches to become more vocal in public policy and school board meetings. “Our children are under attack—not just physically, but spiritually,” said Pastor David Franklin of North Texas. “It’s time to stand firm for truth, family, and God.” Legislative and Grassroots Push to Defend Family Values In response to the Dallas incident, lawmakers and conservative advocacy groups are calling for bans on exposing minors to sexually explicit performances—including drag shows and Pride events that feature adult content. Legislation is being proposed in multiple states to reclassify these events and enforce age-appropriate standards for public displays. Communities are also mobilizing through school board elections and parental rights groups, aiming to reclaim authority over what children are exposed to. Many see this as a defining cultural moment—a spiritual battle for the soul of America.
