A man ambushed and opened fire on Border Patrol agents in McAllen, Texas, on Monday before he was killed by local police and federal agents who returned fire. The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News that the shooter, armed with a rifle and tactical gear, attacked agents at the entrance of a Border Patrol facility. The shooting appeared to be “a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents,” according to authorities. No federal agents were wounded, but a McAllen police officer was possibly shot and is in stable condition. “This morning, an individual opened fire at the entrance of the United States Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas. Both Border Patrol agents and local police helped neutralize the shooter. This is an ongoing investigation led by the FBI. More information will be shared as it becomes available,” the DHS said in a statement. The shooter, who has not been identified, was reported missing on Monday morning, according to McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez, The New York Times reported. Authorities found other weapons in the shooter’s vehicle, which had been spray-painted with a message that law enforcement was trying to decipher, according to the Times. Authorities are expected to hold a press conference addressing the shooting later on Monday.

In a staggering turnaround, Argentina’s libertarian president, Javier Milei, has reversed the country’s free-fall into the economic abyss and led a recovery that is simply astonishing. In November 2023, Argentina’s inflation rate had soared to 211.4% and the country had a poverty rate of 41.7%; 19.5 million people lived below the poverty line. Ironically, just before the November election, The Guardian wrote about a letter signed by more than 100 economists warning that electing Milei would bring “devastation” to Argentina. “Through an aggressive program of public spending cuts, eliminating bureaucracy, and reducing public sector jobs, he erased Argentina’s massive fiscal deficit, paving the way for a historic economic recovery,” Emmanuel Rincon noted in The Daily Economy. By May 2025, the inflation rate had plummeted to 43.5%, and the consumer price index rose 1.5%, marking the lowest levels in five years. Wholesale prices dropped by 0.3% in May, the best number in 17 years. “These achievements were no fluke,” Rincon wrote. “They stemmed from a clear strategy: fiscal balance, reduced public spending, ending monetary expansion as a financing tool, and economic deregulation.” Alberto Cavallo, professor at Harvard Business School, pointed out: The PriceStats PPP index, which compares thousands of identical products (electronics, food, and fuels), shows a sharp decline: the basket is now 1% cheaper than in the USA. … The relative costs with Brazil dropped by more than 20 points since January, due to the combined effect of the peso’s depreciation and the real’s appreciation against the dollar. Today, the basket of identical products is 3% cheaper in Argentina, below the average since 2016. 1/¿Qué está pasando con los precios relativos de bienes en Argentina desde la liberación parcial del cepo? El índice PPP de PriceStats, que compara miles de productos idénticos (electrónica, comida y naftas), muestra una fuerte caída: la canasta es hoy 1% más barata que en USA. pic.twitter.com/uF3ljmuAz3 — Alberto Cavallo (@albertocavallo) July 6, 2025 3/?? Los costos relativos con Brasil bajaron más de 20 puntos desde enero, por el efecto combinado de la depreciación del peso y la apreciación del real frente al dólar. Hoy, la canasta de productos idénticos es 3% más barata en Argentina, por debajo del promedio desde 2016. pic.twitter.com/5TQ6qG6JzP — Alberto Cavallo (@albertocavallo) July 6, 2025 Milei, like President Donald Trump, wants to open up his nation’s economy by utilizing its oil resources through drilling in the Vaca Muerta, a geologic formation located in the Neuquen Basin in northern Patagonia, where major deposits of shale oil and gas are found. “The libertarian leader wants to transform Argentina into a major oil producer and reshape an economy built on farming. It’s an existential project for all involved: Should Milei succeed in generating new oil wealth, he might manage to heave Argentina from its economic quagmire and persuade voters to keep backing his vision,” Bloomberg reported.

Isabel Brown, Gen Z firebrand and popular content creator, is bringing her unique blend of humor and cultural commentary to The Daily Wire. Starting this fall, Brown will host an original series on DailyWire+. Broadcasting from Washington, D.C., Brown joins a growing Daily Wire team in our nation’s capital. A new mom and Colorado native, Brown rose to fame posting her unfiltered thoughts on Instagram, where she now has over a million followers. I am SO excited to finally announce that my podcast, The Isabel Brown Show, has a new home with @realDailyWire!! I have never been more passionate about fighting as hard as we can on offense to save the West. It’s time for us to not just *react* to the insanity of the upside… pic.twitter.com/mUKxMHe8FJ — Isabel Brown (@theisabelb) July 7, 2025 On her show, Brown will tackle the same subjects she addresses on her social media pages — everything from pop culture to the pro-life movement — and bring viewers with her as she takes D.C. by storm with her family. “Earlier this year, I transitioned into the most important role of my entire life: mom,” Brown said. “Seeing the world through my daughter’s eyes and a fresh perspective has only given me more passion for our generation to fight on offense as hard as we can for what is good and true and beautiful.” “Isabel Brown is sure to win over the hearts and minds of the Daily Wire audience with her common-sense takes, elegant humor, and intellectual prowess,” says Mike Richards, Chief Content Officer and President of Daily Wire Entertainment. “She brings brainpower, pop culture fluency, and the kind of fearless fun that causes liberal tears to flow like NPR tote bags at a Bernie rally.” Daily Wire viewers will have plenty of time to get to know Isabel as they join her devoted community of “truth seekers” this fall. But for now, here’s everything you need to know about The Daily Wire’s newest host. She’s Fearless Whether it’s free speech in the digital era, women’s biological identity, or humanity’s most basic right to life, Isabel proudly stands up for her views — even when they’re unpopular. She was among the first to stand up for TikTok’s importance as a free speech platform, defends life from the moment of conception, and even appeared on the cover of Newsweek to champion conservative principles for Gen Z. She’s All About Faith and Family Isabel grew up in a chaotic, loud, and very pink home, the oldest of three girls who loved to steal each other’s clothes and fight over who got to play with which American Girl doll. As a wife and new mom, Isabel is cherishing every second of her home life with her husband, Brock, their beautiful baby girl, Isla, and, of course, her trusty sidekick, Liberty the Corgi. Guiding Brock as he converted to Catholicism inspired Isabel to take an even deeper interest in her faith, and she’s currently pursuing her master’s degree in theology at the University of Notre Dame. Go Irish! She’s Always On The Move Despite all the time she spends online, Isabel’s favorite thing to do is spend time in the great outdoors. Isabel scaled her first 14,000+ foot peak in her home mountains of Colorado at 10 years old. She’s on a quest to visit all 63 National Parks and has traveled to 24 countries, scaling peaks in New Zealand, road-tripping the Scottish Highlands, and retracing the steps of Jesus in the Holy Land. She’s also a trained ram handler, thanks to her time caring for Colorado State University’s live mascot, CAM the Ram. Every weekend, she’d run with CAM on the football field in her boots to celebrate every touchdown, and spent many hours shearing sheep. She’s…Kind Of A Nerd A self-described “certified theater kid,” Isabel has starred in “Hairspray” and “Les Misérables” and has seen nearly every Broadway production on stage. While she’s less likely to get dressed up for the theatre with a new baby at home, she loves singing “Wicked” and “The Sound of Music” at home with Isla. She also loves sci-fi and fantasy, both books and movies — especially “Harry Potter,” “The Lord of the Rings,” and Star Wars. She maintains to this day that “The Empire Strikes Back” is the greatest standalone film ever made, and actually cried driving through Glencoe, Scotland while listening to the “Harry Potter” film score. Don’t judge.

After years of speculation, the Department of Justice has unveiled surveillance footage that officials say confirms Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide—once and for all. But with fresh details now public, skeptics remain divided on whether the mystery is truly over. Surveillance Footage Review The Department of Justice has unveiled 11 hours of surveillance footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Facility, offering new insights into Jeffrey Epstein’s death in August 2019. Video evidence from the prison’s Special Housing Unit conclusively shows Epstein was alone before his demise, dispelling conspiracy theories of external involvement. An extensive investigation examined over 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence. The findings, consistent with the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner’s early conclusion, reaffirm Epstein’s death as suicide due to self-inflicted hanging. Scrutiny on Bureau of Prisons Following Epstein’s death, the Bureau of Prisons faced severe criticism over its management and conditions. Missteps, such as severe staffing shortages and inappropriate practices, were revealed in over 4,000 pages of related documents obtained by the Associated Press. The DOJ and FBI “ Found No Evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein Client List or That He Blackmailed Powerful People.”- Axios.

Investigations into guards falsifying records and avoiding duties amplified the controversy surrounding Epstein’s time in custody. Final Moments and Memo Observations Epstein was without a cellmate after a prior hearing, leading to his isolation on the night of his death. A destroyed surveillance tape from his first suicide attempt further spotlighted the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ procedural failures. BREAKING: As Axios’ article mentioned, the DOJ has released over 10 hours of surveillance footage, which they claim demonstrates that no one entered Jeffrey Epstein’s cell before his death.

Epstein was found agitated in the days leading up to his death, yet maintained he wasn’t suicidal. Despite ongoing theories, the DOJ uncovered no threatening ‘client list’ or evidence of blackmail operations by Epstein.

Lexie Echols got a frantic call from her sister-in-law a few weeks back. She was driving near Lexie’s home and spotted an owl trapped in a barbed wire fence. Lexie gathered some gloves, a box, and a blanket and headed out to help. Working carefully, the women were able to rescue the owl. @uncstan What a day! I’m so thankful my sister in law stopped when she saw something was wrong and called for help so we could save this beautiful owl! He seemed so grateful Thanks Chintimini Wildlife Center for caring for all of our precious wildlife. @Chintimini Wildlife Center, OR ♬ original sound – KC – KC They placed the stunned raptor in the box.

Lexie is also keeping the donation link on her TikTok. You May Remember Lexie’s Family If you thought Lexie and this family sounded like old friends, we have written about them before. Lexie’s parents, who live up the street, had a miniature schnauzer named Stan. Lexie thought of the dog as her brother, but on the internet he was Uncle Stan. Sadly, Uncle Stan passed away in August 2024. His family took him on one last camping trip the week before. Family surrounded the beloved dog as he transitioned. They posted a lovely memorial video on Instagram, thanking their fans for their love for Uncle Stan. The spicy little barn owl fledgling is doing well since his rescue. Posts about his rescue and recovery have gone viral, spreading globally. Much of that support comes from Stan’s fans, and the wildlife center is grateful. Please share, we think Stan is watching.
