Getting back to the star of the show, on Monday morning Trump turned his attention to the July 4th celebrations centered around America's 250th anniversary.
And by doing so, he finally admitted the truth. Here is what he said on Truth Social yesterday.
"On July 4th at the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument in beautiful and safe Washington DC, we are going to host the most spectacular Trump rally of them all, a tribute to America."
And I'm going to stop reading it right there because that is the key. Read more
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Law enforcement officials disrupted a planned attack targeting President Donald Trump's UFC cage-fighting show at the White House this past weekend, according to court papers unsealed Tuesday that say plotters who harbored fringe conspiracy theories spoke of flying explosives-laden drones and shooting panicked crowd members as they fled. Investigators recovered high-powered firearms from several of the suspects and reviewed encrypted text messages between roughly 20 participants who shared detailed maps and aerial photographs of the area and discussed the need for a "safe house" and escape routes after the intended attack, the documents show.

Six men were arrested on federal charges for an alleged double kidnapping and torture, which included a blowtorch, at a Margaritaville Resort in Hollywood, Fla. According to a federal criminal complaint obtained by NewsNation, one of the suspects, identified as 19-year-old Saul Alfonso Fajardo, asked the two victims if they wanted to smoke weed in Fajardo's car in the parking garage. All individuals agreed. After arriving at the car, a witness called the police to report multiple people had taken the two victims by gunpoint and placed them in two separate vehicles.
Soon, however, the producers ran into obstacles. Officials from the county Beaches and Harbors Department and the California Coastal Commission told them they couldn't park their trucks overnight, light fires or drive on the sand. "We're a lifeguard show," "Baywatch" co-creator Greg Bonann remembers saying. "What do you mean we can't drive a truck on the beach?" Suddenly the show was at risk of becoming the wrong kind of symbol: this one, a victim of California's tangle of regulations. No one in power " not Newsom or L.A. Mayor Karen Bass " wanted to read the headline about "Baywatch" bailing out of Los Angeles. When elected leaders were summoned to the Fox lot to smooth things over, the show held all the leverage. "After a while, you have to sit down with the right people and say, Guys, do we want to have this show here or not?'" Bonann says. Read more

Two of the U.S. Department of Education's biggest responsibilities will shift to other federal agencies: safeguarding student civil rights and supervising programs for students with disabilities.
The moves to HHS and DOJ would further dismantle an agency that President Donald Trump has vowed to close, and it would leave the Education Department with a shrinking number of responsibilities.
After the 1993 Oslo Accords, a plan was devised for both Israel and Palestine to recognize each other and share the land between them. To make the State of Palestine viable, an elevated and secure corridor was suggested to connect the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Such a highway 20 miles in length, encased by a stainless steel fence and jointly patrolled by Israeli and Palestinian police, would have cost only a few billion dollars in the 1990s. Afterwards, Palestinians could have then provided the cheap labor for Israeli construction, farming, and industry, or remain in their own country, while Israelis would have finally enjoyed their own Jewish homeland without becoming the brutal militaristic state they have devolved into, with PTSD and suicides afflicting Israeli society.

President Donald Trump signaled a deepening rift with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by claiming "there would be no Israel" without him in a stinging rebuke at the G7 (Group of Seven) summit. Trump has displayed increasing frustration with his ally in recent weeks as the United States attempted to strike a peace deal with Iran, before an agreement was eventually reached on Sunday. Trump and Netanyahu ordered joint United States and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 with the stated aim of destroying the Islamic Republic's ability to make a nuclear weapon. Speaking alongside Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, at the summit of the world's biggest economies in vian-les-Bains, France, Trump said: "Without the United States, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel, because no other president was willing to do what I did."
The National Park Service is deploying hydrogen peroxide in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to combat algae growth, according to a Department of the Interior (DOI) spokesperson. This effort follows the Trump administration's controversial $13.1 million renovation of the iconic water feature on the National Mall. These renovations included repainting the base of the pool "American flag blue" and mending leaking joints. Videos shared on social media on Tuesday morning depicted workers dumping gallon bottles of the chemical into the 2,028-foot pool, which has turned green due to the algae bloom. The park service is using hydrogen peroxide in addition to an advanced filtration system that deploys ozone-injected nanobubbles to break down toxins and contaminants in the pool, the DOI spokesperson said.

AXIOS: CIA Director John Ratcliffe told President Trump and other senior officials that evidence gathered by U.S. intelligence agencies raises serious doubts about Iran's willingness to make the nuclear concessions the U.S. is seeking in any final deal, according to three sources familiar with those discussions.
A string of leaders with faltering relationships with President Donald Trump walked into this week's G7 summit in France with a delicate task ahead of them: charming the U.S. leader sufficiently to avoid a meltdown and sidestep potential dustups over the Iran war and defense spending. Key to that is how they manage their personal interactions with Trump. What historically served as a gathering of the world's leading democracies to discuss the global economy has turned into a game of navigating personal relationships among them. Read more
