šŗšø Trump Weighs Options in Israel-Iran
In partnership with
Happy Thursday, Patriots!
āI may do it, I may not.ā Thatās President Trumpās message after approving U.S. military strike plans on Iran, according to the Wall Street Journalābut holding fire, for now.
However, President Trump later strongly refuted WSJās claim, posting, āThe Wall Street Journal has no idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran!ā
Trumpās waiting to see if Tehran blinks. If not, Americaās arsenal is locked, loaded, and in position. With a third Navy destroyer now in the Mediterranean Sea and a second carrier heading to the Gulf, this isnāt a bluff.
Fordow could be the target. Itās deep undergroundābut not out of reach.
Trump demands unconditional surrender and an end to Iranās nuclear games. āThe next week is going to be very bigāmaybe less than a week,ā he said.
Khamenei says no surrender.
Trump says, weāll see.
Weāll keep you updated on this developing storyāin the meantime, check out more hard-hitting news below!

Curated by Mike Luso
Hey Team! š
As Commander in Chief, President Trumpās tackling this unstable Israel-Iran conflict with a sharp eye, working to keep America out of another messy war in the Middle East. Iranās inflammatory rhetoric, including direct threats against the President and our U.S. military operations, has increased the tension, with missile strikes and constant media coverage causing fear of further escalation.
Trumpās staying cool, choosing smart diplomacy and negotiations over jumping into the fight, which is exactly what we need right now. His America First approach is keeping us safe while he deals with this international chaos. Letās stand behind Trump and his team as they fight to protect our country!
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
š¼ Trump Hesitates on GOP Minimum Wage Hike Proposal
President Trump expressed uncertainty about supporting Senator Josh Hawleyās bipartisan proposal to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour, citing concerns about its impact on small businesses. Hawley framed the increase as a populist move to support American workers, but Trump suggested he might prefer tax cuts or other economic incentives instead. The proposal has sparked debate within the GOP, with some senators like Rand Paul opposing federal intervention in wage policies. Discussions with his economic team are ongoing as he weighs the policyās alignment with his America First agenda.
š¤ Trumpās Immigration Policies Earn Highest Approval
A Harvard-Harris poll reveals President Trump enjoys his highest approval rating on immigration, with 54% of voters supporting his policies, outpacing other issues like the economy or foreign policy. The survey highlights strong backing for his zero-tolerance border strategy, including no migrant releases in May and expanded ICE raids targeting criminals. Trumpās approval on immigration marks a significant increase from prior polls, reflecting public alignment with his America First agenda.
š„ Newsom Blames President Trump for Wildfires
California Governor Gavin Newsom accused President Trump of worsening wildfires by diverting National Guard troops to manage Los Angeles riots instead of deploying them for firefighting. Newsom claimed the lack of Guard support allowed fires to destroy thousands of acres across California. Despite his accusations, Newsom pressed Trump to approve a $40 billion federal relief package to fund wildfire recovery efforts. Trump told reporters that his ongoing conflicts with Newsom could affect his decision on signing the relief package. Newsomās request comes as California struggles to contain multiple active wildfires threatening communities.
ā½ Trump Questions Soccer Team on Transgender Athletes
President Trump hosted Italian soccer team Juventus FC at the White House, where he directly asked players and the general manager about transgender athletes competing in womenās sports. He inquired if a woman could join the menās team, prompting silence from the players and a diplomatic response from General Manager Damien Comolli about their strong womenās team. President Trump stated he was ānever for transgender for everybody, or men playing in womenās sports,ā emphasizing his stance against such participation. The exchange occurred during Juventusās U.S. visit for the Club World Cup, sparking varied reactions on social media.

š Trump Weighs Options On Israel-Iran Firestorm š
The Middle East continues to teeter on the edge of chaos as Israel and Iran trade devastating blows, yet President Trumpās administration is steering America through the storm with a blend of steely resolve and diplomatic finesse. In the past 48 hours, Trump has kept the world guessing about his next move, telling reporters on Wednesday, āI may do it, I may not do it,ā when asked about striking Iranās nuclear facilities. His stance, delivered with a characteristic shrug, masks a deeper strategy: projecting strength while holding the door open for talks.
After Iranās Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei defiantly rejected Trumpās calls for surrender, the president fired back on Truth Social, āI say good luck,ā a quick jab that signals his readiness to let Israelās punishing strikes soften Tehranās resolve. Behind the scenes, Trumpās team is pushing for a ceasefire and nuclear deal, with envoy Steve Witkoff leading negotiations in Geneva, where Iranās acting foreign minister has hinted at halting attacks for sanctions relief.
Trumpās approach is driven by a clear aversion to entangling America in another protracted conflict. āWe donāt want a long-term war with Iran,ā he told Fox News, emphasizing his desire for a swift resolution that neutralizes Iranās nuclear threat without U.S. boots on the ground. The Pentagon has bolstered defenses with the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group and additional fighter jets, but Trump has kept U.S. forces on a tight leash, limiting support to intelligence and potential refueling for Israeli jets. This restraint aligns with public sentiment, as a Rasmussen Reports poll shows 57% of Americans oppose direct military involvement. Yet, the specter of escalation looms, with Iranās proxies in Iraq threatening U.S. bases and unverified reports of Chinese transport planes heading toward Tehran, raising fears of Beijingās involvement.
Domestic voices amplify the stakes of Trumpās decisions. Representative Ilhan Omar sparked outrage by claiming āno one has attacked Americansā in the conflict, ignoring Iranās history of proxy attacks, including the 2020 killing of a U.S. contractor in Iraq. Republican Senator Bill Hagerty swiftly countered, citing Iranās āDeath to Americaā rhetoric as a call to stay vigilant. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV, in a rare address, urged both sides to āreject barbarismā and embrace peace, a plea that resonates with Trumpās public push for diplomacy. Social media buzz on X reflects a very polarized American audience: some praise Trumpās tough talk, while others fear his ambiguity could embolden Iran.
The Geneva talks, now in their second day, are a high-wire act for Trumpās administration. Iranās missile strikes on Tel Aviv, which killed civilians, and Israelās latest hit on Iranās Khondab nuclear facility have hardened positions, yet Trump remains optimistic. His national security team, including Vice President JD Vance, has floated supplying Israel with bunker-busting bombs, but only if Iran escalates further.
Trumpās refusal to commit to a strike, despite pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, showcases his deal-making instincts: let Israel bear the military brunt while America brokers the endgame. As explosions echo across the Middle East, President Trumpās calculated ambiguity - part boast, part olive branch - keeps America poised to shape the conflictās outcome without being consumed by it.

š Quick Bite News š
š° Federal Reserve officials project inflation will rise to 3.0% by year-end, driven by President Trumpās tariff plans, prompting a slower pace of interest rate cuts. The Fed expects to maintain rates in the 4.25-4.5% range, with only two cuts anticipated this year, down from earlier forecasts. Trumpās economic team is exploring alternatives like tax incentives to offset potential price increases for consumers.
āļø The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, upheld Tennesseeās ban on puberty blockers and hormone treatments for transgender minors, prompting liberal media to label it a major setback for transgender rights. Social media posts show conservative support for the ruling, viewing it as a victory for protecting children from irreversible medical procedures. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the decision āawful,ā while supporters argue it prioritizes child safety over ideological agendas.
š³ļø Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into 33 potential noncitizens who allegedly voted in the 2024 general election, citing violations of voter integrity laws. The probe follows President Trumpās executive order directing the Department of Justice to prioritize voter fraud investigations. Paxton vowed to prosecute any confirmed cases, stating, āNoncitizens must not influence U.S. elections.ā
āļø Republican senators, led by John Cornyn, accused Democrats of admitting āguiltā in concealing former President Joe Bidenās health decline by boycotting a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the issue. The hearing, described as probing a āconstitutional scandal,ā investigated Bidenās alleged mental decline and use of an autopen for signing bills. Democratsā absence prompted GOP claims of evasion, with Cornyn stating their boycott confirms their role in hiding Bidenās condition.
š A surge in cargo thefts in California, linked to non-citizens with commercial driverās licenses, has raised concerns about lax vetting processes at the stateās DMV. The DMV admitted it does not track CDLs issued to non-citizens or verify their identities adequately, prompting calls for stricter oversight from Republican lawmakers. President Trumpās administration is reviewing federal trucking regulations to address potential security risks tied to such licensing gaps.
