Republicans and Democrats are hailing a Coast Guard swimmer as a national hero after he saved 165 lives from the flash floods in central Texas.   Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took to the social media platform X to share about Petty Officer 3rd Class Scott Ruskan: “United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott [Ruskan], directly saved an astonishing 165 victims in the devastating flooding in central Texas. This was the first rescue mission of his career and he was the only triage coordinator at the scene.”  “Scott [Ruskan] is an American hero,” Noem added. “His selfless courage embodies the spirit and mission of the [U.S. Coast Guard].”  United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, directly saved an astonishing 165 victims in the devastating flooding in central Texas.This was the first rescue mission of his career and he was the only triage coordinator at the scene.Scott Ruskin is…— Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) July 6, 2025 The official account of the White House also took to X to praise Ruskan: “Scott Ruskan and his aircrew saved 165 lives on their first mission during the Texas floods. From the U.S. Military to first responders and volunteers — these brave Americans remind us who we are. When disaster strikes, they don’t run from the storm. They run into it.”  Democrats also praised Ruskan. “In our darkest times we see people do extraordinary things to help others,” Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., posted on X. “Petty Officer Scott Ruskan from NJ heroically rescued 165 people from the Texas floods. We are eternally grateful to Ruskan and other first responders risking their lives for others.” In our darkest times we see people do extraordinary things to help others.

Dozens are missing. Bryan Winchell, a Texas Task Force 1 helicopter search and rescue technician, called the Coast Guard from Corpus Christi for reinforcement in central Texas on the Fourth of July, according to The New York Post.    Ruskan helped to spearhead the triage and evacuation efforts at Camp Mystic, the Christian summer camp for girls in Texas’ Hill Country that has suffered some of the worst effects of the floods.   Due to poor weather conditions, it took Ruskan and his team almost 6 hours via helicopter to travel to San Antonio from Corpus Christi, to get closer to Camp Mystic. Ruskan and his team worked with 12 rescue helicopters to evacuate close to 200 people, The New York Times reported. Landing zones were set up on an archery field and a soccer field. Ruskan then gave up his spot on a helicopter to allow for two extra spots for the rescuees. He told his crew that he would love to stay to continue helping.  “That’s a little bit outside our area of operation normally, but people were in danger, and we’re a good asset to try and help people out, and these guys were asking for help, so that’s kind of what we do,” Ruskan told The New York Post. He said he wanted to comfort the victims, noting that it was “probably the worst day of their life.”   Ruskan said he realized that while he could not successfully find every single missing person, he could ensure those who were found were brought to safety and help console them.  “Honestly, I’m mostly just a dude. I’m just doing a job,” he told the Post. “This is what I signed up for, and I think that any single Coast Guard rescue swimmer or any single Coast Guard pilot, flight mechanic, whoever it may be, would have done the exact same thing in our situation.”  “That’s what we were asked to do and we’re gonna do it,” he added. “Any one of us, if anyone else was on duty that day, they would have done the same thing as us. We just happened to be the crew that got the case.” The post ‘American Hero’: All Corners Praise Coast Guard Swimmer Who Saved Lives Amid Texas Floods appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The days of the United States getting ripped on in trade are over. President Trump has announced a new set of tariffs that will impact seven countries. They are the following: South Korea Japan Malaysia Laos Kazakhstan South Africa Myanmar NBC News provided details on how much the tariffs will be: At least seven countries’ imports are set to face steep blanket tariffs starting Aug. 1, President Donald Trump revealed Monday. The president, in a series of social media posts, shared screenshots of form letters dictating new tariff rates to the leaders of Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Laos and Myanmar. Goods imported to the U.S. from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Kazakhstan are now set to face 25% tariffs, according to the letters Trump posted. South African goods will be subject to a 30% U.S. tariff, and imports from Laos and Myanmar will face a 40% duty, Trump’s posts on Truth Social showed. The letters Trump signed add that the U.S. will “perhaps” consider adjusting the new tariff levels, “depending on our relationship with your Country.” The letters are the first to be sent before Wednesday, the day his so-called reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries were scheduled to snap back to the higher levels he had announced in early April. Take a look: US Prez Trump announces MORE tariffs — hitting half dozen more countries SERBIA — 35% Bosnia — 30% Bangladesh — 35% Indonesia — 32% Thailand — 36% Cambodia — 36% https://t.co/2m12BeIvLR pic.twitter.com/aJv810uN7T — RT (@RT_com) July 7, 2025 CNN reported that if the countries decide to retaliate with their own tariffs, they would face major consequences: He encouraged country leaders to manufacture goods in the United States to avoid tariffs. This comes ahead of his initial 12:01 a.m. ET July 9 deadline for countries to make deals or face the threat of higher tariffs. That date marks the end of the pause on “reciprocal” tariffs, which briefly went into place in April. Since then, impacted countries have faced a minimum 10% tariff. However, Leavitt said Trump will sign an executive order on Monday pushing that deadline to August, which is “in the best interest of the American people.” She also said Trump’s phone “rings off the hook from world leaders all the time who are begging him to come to a deal.” Yet only three deals have been announced over the past three months. In all 14 letters, Trump threatened to raise tariffs even higher than the specified rates if a country retaliated against the United States with tariffs of their own. Trump said these rates would be “separate from all Sectoral Tariffs,” meaning, for instance, the new tariff won’t be stacked on top of the current auto tariff of 25%, the White House confirmed. That would apply to any future sector-specific tariffs, too, a White House official said. CNBC previously reported that Trump’s tariffs are working.

Being a Border Patrol agent or law enforcement officer is getting more dangerous as the days pass. An active shooter event was reported at a Texas Border Patrol Facility on Monday morning. According to authorities, a man opened fire at a border patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, resulting in three officers being rushed to the hospital after being shot. The shooter was killed at the scene and has since been identified.  WHEC revealed the identity of the shooter: A man with an assault rifle fired dozens of rounds at federal agents and a U.S. Border Patrol facility in Texas on Monday, injuring a police officer, before authorities shot and killed him. Authorities identified the shooter as Ryan Louis Mosqueda, believed to be 27, who they said shot at agents exiting the building, which is near the U.S.-Mexico border. McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said Mosqueda had a “utility vest” in addition to the rifle when federal agents returned fire. Hours before the attack in McAllen, Mosqueda’s father was stopped by Weslaco police around 2:30 a.m. for a traffic violation, according to police spokesperson Heriberto Caraveo. The father told police that he was looking for his son, who he said had psychological issues and was carrying weapons in his car, Caraveo told The Associated Press. Police say the white two-door sedan that Mosqueda drove to the facility had letters painted — possibly in Latin — on the driver’s side door. “What it means, or whether or not it is an underlying reason for him being here, I do not know,” Rodriguez said when asked about the graffiti. A 27-year-old man opened fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, injuring two officers and a Border Patrol employee, authorities reported.

Tawil said.

Last night, the DOJ released a video that was supposed to lay to rest the ‘conspiracy theory’ that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself. The roughly 11-hour long surveillance footage allegedly proved that nobody entered or left Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell the night that he died. Thus, he could not have been murdered. But instead of shutting down any rumors, the video is only adding to fuel to the fire… You see, an entire minute is missing from the surveillance footage! If you watch the video, you can see that it skips at the 11:58:58 mark to 12:00:00. See here: Am I dumb or did a full minute get skipped and the camera frame jumped in the Epstein jail cell video. It went from 11:58:59 to 12:00:00 skipping 11:59:00?? pic.twitter.com/4s5GqXmEsj — foundingfathersknewbest (@exposingtheWEF) July 7, 2025 If you want to check that for yourself, the full footage is available on the DOJ website by clicking here. So, what on earth is going on here? What are they not telling us? At this time, the DOJ has not explained why a full minute was cut from the “full” Epstein cell footage. A whole lot can happen in one minute! Someone could have entered…or left…Epstein’s jail cell in that time frame. Perhaps even Epstein himself… And, it gets even more suspicious… Back in 2020, the DOJ released a photo of the outside of Epstein’s jail cell. And, it looks nothing like the jail cell in the video that the DOJ released last night. See for yourself: PHOTO ON LEFT: Epstein’s prison cell from photo released by DOJ shortly after his “su*cide.” PHOTO ON RIGHT: Epstein’s prison cell from EDITED video released by DOJ last night. ARE THESE THE SAME PRISON CELLS? pic.twitter.com/sMFrnJYclW — Publius (@OcrazioCornPop) July 7, 2025 There is an explanation for that one, at least. Though, it doesn’t make any of this less suspicious. Here’s why the doors are different: the video of Epstein’s jail cell released last night was reportedly not of the outside of his personal jail cell. Remember that the surveillance cameras outside Epstein’s cell “weren’t working” the night of his death. Instead, it was of the outside entrance to his L-Tier cell — which is basically a unit that holds several cells and multiple prisoners. This X user explained it well: The video Pam Bondi released trying to prove Epstein was not murdered is old evidence from 2023 and it is NOT a video of Jeffrey Epstein’s cell door. It is the outside entrance to Epstein’s tier cell that holds many prisoners who had the ability to murder him with doors unlocked. pic.twitter.com/3f1WL6au84 — Truth Justice (@SpartaJustice) July 7, 2025 Here’s a closer look at the L-Tier area that Epstein’s personal jail cell was inside of: So, the just-dropped video of Epstein’s “jail cell” was actually just of the entrance to the area his jell cell was inside of. Yahoo News confirmed that it wasn’t actually of his own jail cell: The surveillance footage, which spans roughly 11 hours, covers August 9 and 10 of his final days at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges involving minors. As of around 7:49 pm on August 9, Epstein was still alive. He can be seen in the footage being escorted to his cell by a guard. The two moved through a flight of stairs and a common area before arriving at Epstein’s cell. While the camera angle didn’t show the cell door directly, it also didn’t capture any guards or inmates approaching the door during the rest of the footage. The next sign of movement near Epstein’s cell came at approximately 10:39 pm when a guard appeared to walk toward the area. The same guard was seen again on camera at 10:41 pm. For the rest of the night, no one was seen heading toward the cell, and it is believed that it was at this time that the suicide occurred. And, a whole minute is missing from the footage. That means that it is possible someone could have gone through the door of the L-Tier within that minute, then entered Epstein’s cell. Or, one of the prisoners from within Epstein’s L-Tier could have gone slipped inside. In short, this video does nothing to prove that Epstein definitively committed suicide. It’s all very strange and suspicious. What are your thoughts?

The DOJ finally released all the video footage from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell, a full 11-hours worth of footage. BREAKING: The reported full 11-hour video outside of Jeffrey Epstein’s cell has been published on the DOJ’s website, showing no one entering the cell. pic.twitter.com/3t1dGmigaZ — Bo Loudon (@BoLoudon) July 7, 2025 Except…I thought the story all along from the DOJ has been that the cameras outside his cell had malfunctioned and no video footage existed? Yes indeed, Reuters reported on August 28, 2019 that the cameras in the hall outside the cell had malfunctioned: Two cameras that malfunctioned outside the jail cell where financier Jeffrey Epstein died as he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges have been sent to an FBI crime lab for examination, a law enforcement source told Reuters. Epstein’s lawyers Reid Weingarten and Martin Weinberg told U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in Manhattan on Tuesday they had doubts about the New York City chief medical examiner’s conclusion that their client killed himself. The two cameras were within view of the Manhattan jail cell where he was found dead on Aug. 10. A source earlier told Reuters two jail guards failed to follow a procedure overnight to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes. He had been taken off suicide watch prior to his death. The cameras were sent to Quantico, Virginia, site of a major FBI crime lab where agents and forensic scientists analyze evidence. But setting that aside for now, there’s an even bigger problem. An entire minute of the video footage is missing. Did they really think we just wouldn’t notice? Major credit to the anons who no doubt watched this video frame-by-frame to make this discovery: JUST IN: One minute is missing from the 10-hour Epstein Security footage released by the US Government yesterday. pic.twitter.com/qn5F40hRrX — Remarks (@remarks) July 7, 2025 This clip below actually shows it a little better. It’s slightly longer so you get a little more context before and after the missing minute. Also, as MJTruth points out, when the time changes to 12am, the next day… there is a noticeable shift in the video itself, showing a white line at the bottom. Also, there is someone in the background at a desk that disappears. Take a look: The DOJ video leading to Epstein’s tier is missing 1 minute between 11:59pm -12am… My Counter-arugmentative thought Process: On one hand… Epstein was found dead shortly before 6:30am on August 10, 2019, and he was declared dead a few hours earlier.

A death so famous it launched the meme “Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself” into the public consciousness, with mystery and strange details abounding, and par for the course when we finally get to see this video, which they told us didn’t even exist, it has an entire minute missing? Are you kidding me?
