Dear Patriot,
First, we are celebrating a big win for Sidney against the Texas Legal Bar.
She has now beaten back three attempts (one was an appeal) by leftists in Texas to strip her law license.
Read all about the case and watch the video of Sidney outside the courthouse this past Friday.
Second, we are breathless watching the Trump Administration take actions and HOLD ACCOUNTABLE the people who have used the Justice Department and the FBI to entrap, harass, arrest and jail thousands of Americans because of their political and religious beliefs. Read more about the extraordinary steps taken Friday night.
Third, from deportations and a 93% reduction in border crossings, to attacks on terrorists, to Cabinet hearings, to more Executive Orders, the Trade War and Rubio at the Panama Canal, more hostages released, to Elon’s DOGE cutting billions….. there is much to discuss and digest.
Read on for more of the never-ending action by Trump! SO much winning!
We can not cover it all fast enough but here are some topics to know about.
Trump Ally Sidney Powell Escapes Texas Bar Sanctions Again
QUOTE: Lawyer Sidney Powell for a second time defeated a Texas bar effort to discipline her for trying to change the results of the 2020 presidential election.
None of the misdemeanors for which Powell pleaded guilty in Georgia in 2023 meet the definition of a serious crime under Texas law, chair Bud Kirkendall of the state’s Board of Disciplinary Appeals said Friday. That means Powell isn’t subject to compulsory discipline in Texas, the board decided.
The decision came at the end of a morning hearing in Austin.
Celebrating the victory outside of the courtroom, Powell said the bar’s disciplinary attempt “is the epitome of lawfare that shouldn’t be allowed in this country.”
Powell, a Dallas attorney, said “lawyers have to be able to stand up and represent unpopular cases.”
“For the bar that I’ve devoted more than 45 years of practice to to come against me nonstop for four years now is extremely disheartening and painful and it’s been very expensive and time consuming and unjust.”
Powell said her legal problems crippled her once-successful law practice.
“Nobody’s calling someone who has been besieged as I’ve been,” she said.
Powell’s lawyer, Bob Holmes of Dallas, argued at the hearing that for the bar to bring compulsory discipline the Georgia misdemeanors must be “intentional” or “serious.” They are neither, Holmes argued.
2- Here is a video of the best reporter on all things J6, Julie Kelly, explaining the group firings at DOJ and the FBI on Friday Night.

3- Every day more facts emerge that point to a very large conspiracy within the US government to thwart President Trump, deny election fraud and deflect from Biden malfeasance.
Rounding up the Usual Suspects: Grassley Releases Familiar Name in the Origins of the Trump Investigation
QUOTE: For Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the weaponization of the criminal justice system has always followed a certain Casablanca pattern. Like Claude Rains as the venerable Captain Louis Renault, it is simply a matter of “rounding up the usual suspects.”
Grassley released FBI whistleblower records on Thursday showing that an anti-Trump figure, former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault, previously found to have violated the Hatch Act was a key factor in pushing the election charges brought by former Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Grassley suggested that Thibault violated protocol in opening and advancing the FBI’s initial probe into the 2020 election without sufficient predication. The investigation, called Operation Arctic Frost, was opened on April 13, 2022.
Whistleblowers alleged that Thibault’s alleged “partisanship” likely impacted investigations involving President Trump and Hunter Biden. Thibault was previously named as the agent who effectively scuttled the investigation into Hunter Biden and his laptop.
Grassley and others are citing the evidence as supporting the need to “clean house” at the FBI and root out those who actively participated in the politicization of the criminal justice process.
For those of us familiar with Thibault from the Hunter Biden investigation, his role in the origins of the Smith investigation is deeply concerning. Whistleblowers previously accused Thibault of “circumventing normal process and procedure to open full field investigations.” He was later found by the Inspector General to be violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in certain political activities.
The violations included Thibault retweeting social media posts by the Lincoln Project, a vehemently anti-Trump group.
4- Ric Grenell picked up six American hostages who were abandon by Biden. Another foreign county has agreed to all of the Trump Administration requests.
Ric Grenell Has More Good News From Venezuela Mission, Plus He Answers Biden Official on How to 'Lead'
QUOTE: Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, Ric Grenell had some great news on Friday about his special mission to Venezuela. As we reported, he went to talk about Venezuela repatriating its citizens who had illegally entered the United States, including Tren de Aragua gang members.
He carried a message that Venezuela needs to comply; otherwise, there will be "consequences."
He then returned to the U.S. with six American hostages, who had been detained in Venezuela. That's what strength gets you.
I have a question. Did you even know that there were Americans being held in Venezuela? How about Belarus, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio just got American released? For some reason, we weren't hearing about either situation from the Biden administration or the media--until the Trump team has come in and, suddenly, are getting people out.
How many Americans did Biden leave in detention around the world?
That wasn't all. Grenell and Trump also announced on Saturday that Venezuela has agreed to repatriate their citizens after the mission, including paying for the return flights. That is a huge win.
5- America First. We celebrate with EVERYONE... in July!
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Declares End of ‘Cultural Awareness Months’ at Department of Defense
QUOTE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday issued guidance to the entire Department of Defense to end the practice of celebrating months tied to racial or gender identities using official resources.
He said in his guidance: “Our unity and purpose are instrumental to meeting the Department’s warfighting mission. Efforts to divide the force – to put one group ahead of another – erode camaraderie and threaten mission execution.”
He added: "Going forward, DoD Components and Military Departments will not use official resources, to include man-hours, to host celebrations or events related to cultural awareness months, including National African American/Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and National American Indian Heritage Month. Service members and civilians remain permitted to attend these events in an unofficial capacity outside of duty hours."
The move follows a memo he issued earlier in the week implementing President Donald Trump’s executive order banning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the military.
6- In very serious times, this clutter gets in the way, and serves as cover, to deter solving big problems.
Federal workers told to remove pronouns from email signatures
QUOTE: Employees at federal agencies were instructed to remove pronouns from their email signatures by the end of the workday on Friday, according to internal memos obtained by The Hill, in compliance with an executive order issued by President Trump and instructions from the Office of Personnel Management.
The memo also told agencies to place employees whose job description involves “promoting gender ideology” on administrative leave by 5 p.m. EST Friday and bar transgender workers from using single-sex facilities that best align with their gender identity.
7- We appreciate the bravery of Tulsi, RFK and Kash who pointed out the hypocrisy of the US Senate. They all need your prayers and they need your phone calls to your Senators. Resources for that are here at Defending The Republic.
RFK Jr. Torches Bernie Sanders for Screaming 'Health Care for All' While Taking Big Pharma Cash
QUOTE: On Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary-nominee Robert F. Kennedy sat before yet another Senate committee to answer questions, and it went about as well as expected.
Sparks fly after RFK Jr. calls Bernie Sanders OUT for his hypocrisy: "The problem of corruption is not just the federal agencies, it's in Congress too. Almost all members of this panel are accepting money, INCLUDING YOURSELF, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry."
Sanders tried to pull that "small donor" and grassroots citizens schtick, but campaign finance filings don't lie. Open Secrets shows that between 1990 and 2024, Sanders collected $1,953,613 in pharmaceutical donations. Sanders is among the Top 20 political recipients of Big Pharma's largesse. This list includes the good "Rev-ER-Rund" Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), who raked in $1,763,425 over that period while spouting about Kennedy's conspiracy theories and Kennedy's insults to the CDC, Warnock's hometown bureaucracy. Let's not forget Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), who collected $1,616,081 while looking down her nose at Kennedy for his "dangerous views.”
8- Tulsi named names.
Tulsi Gabbard Drops Truth Bomb on Deep State Corruption — Exposes 51 Intel Officials, Hillary Clinton, and the Democrat Party in Scorching Opening Statement
QUOTE: As she stood before the Senate Intelligence Committee for her confirmation hearing as President Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard delivered a devastating indictment of the intelligence community’s failures and abuses over the last two decades.
Gabbard’s testimony ripped into the coordinated efforts of the Clinton and Biden campaigns to manipulate intelligence agencies for political gain. She highlighted how the now-discredited Steele dossier—funded by the Clinton campaign—was used as “evidence” to illegally spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page via FISA warrants.
Gabbard also targeted the now-infamous 51 former intelligence officials who falsely labeled Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation” to help Joe Biden secure victory in the 2020 election.
She exposed Biden campaign operative Tony Blinken as the mastermind behind the disinformation letter.
9- Note to the Democrats: You have no coherent message because ALL of your policies are proven failures.
And calling people nazis and racist is not coherent message.
Dozens of Democrat Leaders Lament They Have No ‘Coherent Message’ to Fight Trump
QUOTE: Dozens of Democrat leaders are reportedly struggling to find a “coherent message” to fight President Donald Trump.
The New York Times reported Sunday that, at private meetings and public events, Democrats “appear leaderless, rudderless, and divided.”
Democrats have elected Ken Martin to be their next Democrat National Committee (DNC) chair, who will conduct a post-election review largely based on tactics and messaging.
Now, the Times said after more than 50 interviews with Democrat leaders they cannot figure out what the party should stand for, what issues they should focus on, and how to confront Trump.
Although many Democrats agree they need to tackle issues that propelled Trump into office, they cannot figure out how to do that.
A Quinnipiac poll released the week after Trump’s inauguration found that 57 percent of voters viewed the Democrat party negatively.
PRAY for divine intervention in all matters large and small, for the country and personally.
PRAY for all of our warriors who are working very hard to right the ship.
PRAY for President Trump and his family who have sacrificed much. Ask for their continued safety.
PRAY for all Senators to be moved to vote yes for Tulsi, Kash and RFKJr.
THANK God for his many blessings..
CALL your Senators.
SHARE the truth.
HOLD FAST,
