#1 - Biden Freaks Out in South Carolina and Starts Screaming About Trump — by Nick Arama

"Donald Trump, when he was Commander-in-Chief, refused to visit a cemetery, a U.S. cemetery outside of Paris for fallen American soldiers and he referred to those heroes, and I quote as 'suckers and losers.'" Then Biden lost his mind and started screaming, "He actually said that!! He said that! HOW DARE HE say that! How dare he talk about my son and all [unintelligible] like that." 

This has been roundly debunked and no, there's no evidence that "he actually said that." Moreover it's just completely untrue that Trump "refused" to go. He wanted to go but they didn't go because of concerns about weather, as emails revealed. 

But on top of losing his mind over yet another false story that media and Democrats like to spread about Trump, notice how he includes his son among the fallen World War II soldiers. His son not only wasn't in World War II, but he didn't fall in battle, he died of cancer. How dare he keep spreading this falsehood suggesting his son died in battle. Or is he so far gone he believes this? 

Seriously, he is not well and we are in danger with this man occupying the highest office in the land.

#2 - HUGE: Border Patrol Turns on Joe Biden, Proclaims Support for Texas National Guard — by Bonchie

The Biden administration had initially warned Texas that it had until mid-day Friday to relinquish control of Shelby Park, the nearby boat dock, and the International Bridge. That deadline has now come and gone, and instead of there being a major clash between the Border Patrol and the state-controlled soldiers on site, it appears those on the ground have already de-escalated the situation.

The Border Patrol Union ends by slamming Biden for creating the current "catastrophe" and reiterating that there will be no conflict between CBP agents and state forces. The statement is a clear signal of support for the Texas National Guard, its mission, and those leading it, including Gov. Greg Abbott.

Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.

We want to be perfectly clear, there is no fight between rank-and-file BP agents and the TX NG, Gov. Abbott, or TX DPS. It may make flashy headlines, but it simply isn't true.

#3 - Clay Travis Pays Off Alyssa Milano's GoFundMe for Son's Baseball Team — With One Hilarious Condition — by Mike Miller

As to be expected, Milano was instantly trashed on X — which she predictably used to attempt to paint herself as the victim, whining about paying for the teams's uniforms, birthday parties, cupcakes, and such.

Enter, OutKick founder Clay Travis, who's also a sports journalist, radio host, and lawyer. Being the fine upstanding gentleman he is, Travis stepped up to the plate and picked up the tab on the remaining balance of the team's $10,000 goal: $794.

But Clay being Clay — and I say that as a fan with great respect for the guy — he jabbed Milano with one hilarious condition. 

Hey ⁦@Alyssa_Milano since you couldn’t afford to pay for your son’s baseball team to travel to Cooperstown, I just paid off the rest of the GoFundMe so they could make the trip. Only request is the team play the tourney in MAGA hats. You’re welcome.

Travis drops mic, walks off stage.

#4 - CNN Anchor Stunned Into Silence After Panelist Explains Why Illegals Don't Stay in Florida — by Bonchie

Yeah, ending the segment was probably for the best, given CNN's political leanings. The truth can be hard to hear sometimes, but Miller is undoubtedly telling the truth. Democrats like to blame Republicans for illegal immigrants overwhelming places like New York and Chicago. The truth is that illegal immigrants want to go there because they know they are immune from the law once they arrive. 

If four illegal immigrants can beat up two cops on camera, and be released almost immediately without having to even post bail, there's essentially nothing they can't get away with. Naturally, once they do get released, they just hop on a bus and head to another blue bastion with "bail reform," in this case, California. It's just a matter of time before they strike again.

Bad policies have bad consequences. Even the most liberal of states and cities can only run from that reality for so long. New York voters wanted this. They put people in power who told them they were going to destroy the criminal justice system in the name of social reform. Well, they are now getting what they voted for.

#5 - Democrat Politician Calls for Right-Wing Americans to Be Bombed, and You'll Recognize the Name — by Bonchie

Opposing Democrats decided the only way to stop the bill from passing was to run to Capitol Hill to sing "We Shall Overcome" and eat Caesar salads while bragging about being fugitives. Eventually, the Texas legislature voted to have the Sergeant-of-Arms arrest them, and Wu and others came crawling back. 

Just like that, their brief glimpse of resistance fame was over. That hasn't stopped Wu from being a ratio-magnet, though, and his latest attempt at being edgy did not go well. Specifically, he suggested that the U.S. Military should bomb American citizens. 

It's all fun and games... until someone eats a drone fired Hellfire missile. https://t.co/rPF6BizB4i
