The Bridger Aerospace "Super Scoopers"  – yes – literally scoop water from nearby lakes and water sources and transport it to the fire line to extinguish wildfires when every minute and second counts. And the planes have spent 36 days working in Texas so far this year, logging more than 80 flight hours and dropping more than 130,000 gallons of water on fires across the Lone Star State. Wildfire season is upon us, and aerospace technology companies are racing to reshape how decisions are made.

Zohran Mamdani has been talking about America being "racist," yet he's expressed more racist sentiment in his first six months in office than any other mayor in the history of New York. His advisors have said on multiple occasions that "whites must be defeated." Imagine if you had — if any other mayor, anywhere, said "blacks must be defeated," or "Asians must be defeated," or "Hispanics must be defeated." That’s about as racist as you can get.

“Texas is where the world builds bigger, and Toyota shows it once more with a $3.6 billion expansion in San Antonio that doubles their factory footprint and creates 2,000 new jobs," said Gov.

The takeover of the Democrat Party by "Socialists" (and worse,) has – and appears to be gaining – momentum. Following wins for D.C. Mayor and three New York City Congressional Primaries, a "Democrat Socialists of America" member named Melat Kiros also just won a primary over a 30 year Democrat incumbent in a district that includes Denver. Watch Kiros, a graduate student who's being dubbed the AOC of the West, and like AOC is a former barista as well.

This past week, President Trump showed his support for American farmers once again by suspending the countervailing duties (CVDs) on imports of phosphate fertilizer, which is critical for many of the vital crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat, etc., that we grow here in the U.S. These duties, which were put in place under the Biden Administration, have cost our farmers nearly $7 billion since 2021.

“The Mitigation Reallocation Program promotes long term resilience, giving communities the opportunity to pursue projects that reduce risks from future disasters,” said Texas General Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, noting that through the MRP, communities are able to apply for mitigation activities funding such as Flood & Drainage Improvements, Water System & Wastewater Improvements, Street Improvements, and Emergency Communications Equipment to reduce the impacts of future hurricanes, storms and flooding.

After some obligatory praise for the nation to which he immigrated, NYC Mayor and now Leading Democrat Spokesman Zohran Mamdani wrongly equated Legal & Illegal Immigration by saying: for "the powerful, America is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin."

Through this horror, rescue operations saved over 850 people, thanks to local, state, federal, and volunteer teams.

The United States Supreme Court has weighed in, and in a welcome 6-3 decision, they have determined that states can bar confused men from women’s sports. This conflict was an 80-20 political winner for Republicans, and it remains a winning issue for them, since the regressive Left has no interest in backing away from their (shotgun wedding) support for the LGBT cult. Even left-leaning news anchors acknowledged the unavoidable injustice of allowing these biological men to compete against women and romp them again and again.

The 4th of July is a special time for every American. It's a day to reflect on the meaning and origin of our Freedom – and it's a day full of Picnics, Parades, Bar-B-Qs & Fireworks. It's a highlight of Patriotism, and the Celebration of Independence. But July 4th, 1776 wasn’t marked by the festivities we experience today. Here's three quick stories to show how might we fight the movement of Socialism & Marxism growing in the Democrat Party and surrendering American greatness today.
