OOPS! Dem Senator Elissa Slotkin Says the QUIET PART OUT LOUD About the SAVE America Act (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/oops-dem-senator-elissa-slotkin-says-quiet-part/

Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan was recently speaking to a crowd of supporters about the SAVE America Act and she accidentally gave the game away without even seeming to realize it.

Conservatives know why Democrats oppose the act. They want people to be able to vote without IDs so that illegal immigrants can vote.

They keep trying to claim that it’s just too difficult for certain Americans to obtain an ID but that’s ridiculous. You can’t do anything in life today without a valid ID.

Slotkin’s comments take things a step even further.

In the clip below, she actually says:

“The SAVE [America] Act, which would literally allow this administration to rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.”

So Slotkin is admitting that if people have to show ID to vote, it will make it hard for any Democrat in any state to win an election.

What does that say about her party? Continue…

US Air Force VIP Helicopter Makes Emergency Landing Near German Embassy in DC

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/us-air-force-vip-helicopter-makes-emergency-landing/

A U.S. Air Force helicopter assigned to the elite 1st Helicopter Squadron at Joint Base Andrews made a reported emergency landing Monday night off Foxhall Road NW in Northwest Washington, D.C., just steps from the German Embassy, AA reported.

ABC7 reporter Tom Roussey was first on the scene and reported: “A US Air Force helicopter has made what was reportedly an emergency landing off of Foxhall Road NW, not far from the German Embassy in DC.”

Roussey later updated: “Members of the military and others are inspecting the helicopter. Unclear if they are going to try to fix and fly it out of here or tow it out. It appears to be registered as an Air Force helicopter out of Joint Base Andrews. What appeared to be the Air Force flight crew just left in a truck. It does not look like the helicopter is leaving the field anytime soon.” Continue…

Pete Hegseth Announces New Task Force to Identify and Prosecute Leakers (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/pete-hegseth-announces-new-task-force-identify-prosecute/

War Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced a new task force to not only identify leakers, but to prosecute them. This is long past due.

This is a problem that has been coming up repeatedly since the first Trump administration. It will continue unless there are serious consequences.

There are simply too many people in Washington who think they are activists and will use this tactic to try to frustrate and disrupt the administration’s plans. They need to know that if they do this, they could end up in jail.

Auto Journalist Swarmed by Cops After Flock Cameras Mistakenly Flag Car Theft: We ‘Live in a Surveillance State’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/auto-journalist-swarmed-cops-flock-cameras-mistakenly-flag/

Contrary to popular myth, the 19th-century English Luddites did not oppose technology per se. They did, however, oppose with their lives technology used by elites to exploit the masses.

Late last month, automotive journalist Joel Feder of The Drive learned firsthand what happens when police act on faulty information provided by Flock license-plate-reader cameras.

“We now live in a surveillance state where cameras mounted on stoplights are tracking our cars, our devices, our pets, and even us,” Feder wrote.

Indeed, one can scarcely reach any other conclusion.

Feder, who test-drives vehicles and then produces online content, took a $155,000 Range Rover out to run errands with his wife on a late-June Sunday afternoon in suburban Minnesota.

Suddenly, in a Kohl’s parking lot, four police cars surrounded Feder’s vehicle. Hands on their guns, the officers began shouting for Feder and his wife to get out of the vehicle.

Fortunately, the couple complied with police instructions.

At that point, after a humiliating pat-down, Feder learned that Flock’s cameras had flagged the vehicle’s plates as stolen.

Moreover, the ambush at Kohl’s occurred after officers had tracked the vehicle for days.

After a fair amount of difficulty, Feder and the officers finally learned that the problem began in faraway Los Angeles, California. There, a Jaguar Land Rover dealership had reported New Jersey plates 34 03 DTM stolen. Flock’s system, however, had recorded the allegedly stolen plate as simply 34 DTM. Then, the system flagged Feder’s Range Rover, which had a plate number of 34 10 DTM.

In other words, Flock’s surveillance system ignored the two middle numbers.

After the officers relaxed, Feder “connected the final dot.” Continue…

Zelensky’s Latest Government Reshuffle Was Triggered by New Incoming Corruption Scandal – Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Olga Stefanishyna Will Reportedly Be Charged

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/zelenskys-latest-government-reshuffle-was-triggered-new-incoming/

Endless corruption scandals, Kiev style.

We have reported here on TGP about Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky’s new shakeup in his government, which will see him appointing his fourth Ukrainian Prime Minister shortly.

What wasn’t so clear before was that this restructuring of the administration was triggered by the imminent very bad developments in the corruption investigations that have been whipping Zelensky’s rule for the last year. Continue…

Germany: Foreign Nationals — Despite Composing 15% of the Population — Made Up 53% of Gang Rape Suspects, Official 2025 Crime Stats Reveal

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/germany-foreign-nationals-despite-composing-15-population-made/

Newly released crime figures showing that foreign nationals — despite composing 15 percent of the population — made up a record 53 percent of suspects in Germany’s gang rape cases in 2025 have reopened a debate the political establishment has spent years trying to contain: the relationship between mass immigration, public safety and the protection of women.

Germany, according to FOCUS ONLINE, recorded 751 cases under the special statistical category used to identify rapes allegedly committed by more than one person. According to figures reported from the federal government’s response to an AfD parliamentary inquiry, hundreds of the identified suspects did not hold German citizenship.

WELT reported 574 non-German suspects, representing 53 percent of the total, while another account of the same government data listed 578. Either way, foreign nationals constituted a majority of suspects despite representing a minority of Germany’s population.

Among the foreign-national suspects, Syrians formed the largest group, with 110 identified by police. They were followed by 64 Afghans, 46 Iraqis and 44 Turkish citizens.

Around 80 percent of the victims reportedly held German citizenship. For critics of the country’s migration regime, that statistic has become impossible to separate from the wider question of who has paid the price for more than a decade of open-border politics. Continue…

WATCH: Hilarious Video Resurfaces Showing Toronto Police “Combatting Transphobia” After Citizen Trolls “2SLGBTQ+ Liaison Officer” Driving Transgender Cop Car

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/watch-hilarious-video-resurfaces-showing-toronto-police-combatting/

The Toronto Police Department is coming under fire after a video resurfaced, in which they combat transphobia in response to a citizen trolling their trans-friendly police division.

The video, titled “2SLGBTQ+ Liaison Officers Combatting Transphobia In Toronto,” was posted on the official Toronto Police channel in June 2024.

Sgt. Rob Chevalier, the Toronto Police 2SLGBTQI+ Liaison Officer, and a black man identified as “Nevada” are seen in the video discussing an incident where a driver pulled up to the Toronto Police pride SUV and trolled the duo.

Chevalier says he was assisting with a case, where Nevada was apparently a victim, and drove her home for her safety.

“He drove me home in the fabulous pride SUV, and as he was driving me home, we reached a stoplight, and then an individual in a pickup truck came up to us,” Nevada says before the video cuts to an Instagram video from the incident. The man pulls up to the car and asks, “Are you guys cops or you just identify as cops?”

Chevalier is seen asking the driver, “What does it look like I am?” and the driver hilariously responds, “I have no idea. Reality doesn’t exist anymore.” This apparently prompted the department to actually post a video of the exchange in an effort to combat “transphobia.”

“Part of me was shocked, but part of me was not shocked,” Nevada said of the event. “I am a trans woman; I’ve been transitioning for eight years. I get harassed and vilified every day of my life.”

Chevalier goes on to claim that hate crimes “toward the 2SLGBT community are up 140%” and condemns the so-called “violent rhetoric” that he experienced from the other driver. Continue…

In a Departure From Post-WW2 Limits, Japan Begins To Build a New Centralized Intelligence Agency

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/departure-post-ww2-limits-japan-begins-build-new/

The Japanese are trying to step up to the challenges of our day.

Post-WW2 Japan has operated under significant limitations on its military (the Self-Defense Forces) and its intelligence agencies.

But right now, the Asian island-nation is leaving these restraints in the past, as the new government tries to build a centralized intelligence agency – something that is only natural in most countries, but still controversial there.

Japanese leaders have privately approached partners such as the United States, Australia, and Germany in recent months for advice on technology, staffing, and priorities, according to interviews with officials from Japan and elsewhere. The conversations have not been previously reported. Continue…

Iran Launches 'Brazen' Attacks On More Tankers In Hormuz, Killing Sailors, After Araghchi Mocked Trump's Toll Plan

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-launches-brazen-attacks-more-tankers-hormuz-killing-crewmembers-after-araghchi

The battle for Hormuz has ramped up after the United States has undertaken three consecutive nights of major bombing raids against Iranian targets.

All the while President Trump is said to be "very serious" about his plan to impose a 20% toll on cargo transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a Semafor report says, citing a White House official who says the president has desired such a plan for months. Both warring sides are insisting that it is their side alone which will be 'guardian' over the strait.

Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi took some jabs at the proposed US plan soon after Trump unveiled it on Truth Social.

"POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service," Araghchi wrote on X. "20% is of course too much. We will be fair," he added.

Trump's Election Integrity Efforts Meet Resistance In Courts

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trumps-election-integrity-efforts-meet-resistance-courts

President Donald Trump's efforts to overhaul U.S. voting systems have been stymied by court orders finding that his tactics were legally flawed.

During his second term, Trump issued two executive orders on election integrity. Among other provisions, they required proof of citizenship and asked multiple federal agencies to compile a list of eligible voters in each state.

Some courts blocked his actions, saying that the requirements intruded on Americans' privacy rights and could exclude eligible voters. At least one court ruled in Trump's favor, however, creating a conflict between two judges.

Here's what to know about Trump's efforts and the legal battles surrounding them. Continue…

Warren Buffett Cuts Gates Foundation From Annual Stock Giving As Epstein Scandal Shadows Over Bill Gates

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/warren-buffett-cuts-gates-foundation-annual-stock-giving-epstein-scandal-shadows-over-bill

Warren Buffett excluded the Gates Foundation from his annual charitable stock gifts for the first time in two decades, as scrutiny over Bill Gates' connections with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues to cast a dark shadow over Gates and the foundation.

CNBC reports that the 95-year-old chairman will donate 9 million Class B shares to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, and 1 million shares each to the Sherwood Foundation, the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, and the Novo Foundation.

"My goal is to dispose of all of my Berkshire shares within about eight years," Buffett wrote in a statement announcing the gifts.

He added, "As I explained last year, my children are unfortunately growing older. I have every hope that the three of them are able to carry out the disposal of my shares by December 31, 2034."

Buffett's exclusion of the Gates Foundation breaks decades of giving; the foundation has received more than $47 billion in Berkshire stock from Buffett since 2006. This follows scrutiny of the foundation's ties to Epstein, and Buffett has recently said he has not spoken with Gates since the controversy erupted. Continue…

30 beluga whales stranded in abandoned Ontario theme park head to US aquariums for a fresh start

https://thepostmillennial.com/30-beluga-whales-stranded-in-abandoned-toronto-theme-park-head-to-us-aquariums-for-a-fresh-start

Thirty beluga whales stranded at Canada's Marineland theme park since its closure in 2024 will be relocated to accredited aquariums after an international rescue plan received final approval, avoiding the possibility that the animals could have been euthanized.

The whales have remained at the Niagara Falls marine park since it shut down due to financial difficulties, while concerns mounted over their future. Canadian authorities had reportedly considered euthanasia if suitable homes could not be found for the animals. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has now approved a plan allowing the whales to be transferred to facilities in the United States and Europe over the coming weeks.

Twenty-eight of the belugas will be divided among four accredited U.S. facilities: Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, and SeaWorld parks in San Diego and San Antonio. The remaining two whales will be relocated to Oceanogràfic València in Spain. "This rescue effort will take several weeks to mobilize and complete, and the comfort and safety of the whales remains of the utmost importance," a spokesperson for the American aquarium consortium said.

Before transport begins, each whale must undergo veterinary examinations and be cleared for travel by Canadian officials. Aquarium specialists from the receiving facilities will also assess the animals before accompanying them to their new homes. "Once the belugas are cleared for travel by Canadian veterinarians, aquarium experts will accompany the animals to their new homes, where they will be met with diverse seafood to meet their nutritional needs, high quality environments with guaranteed water quality and onsite medical care should they require it at any time," the consortium said.

Marineland has faced years of scrutiny over its treatment of marine mammals. Reports indicate roughly 20 whales died at the park since 2019, fueling criticism from animal welfare organizations. Canadian officials previously blocked a proposal to transfer the whales to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in China, citing the country's 2019 law restricting the captivity of whales and dolphins for entertainment purposes.

The belugas will now be cared for at accredited facilities equipped with dedicated veterinary teams, high-quality habitats, and long-term care programs.

WATCH: Edmonton fire leaves one resident dead after vehicle collides with building

https://www.westernstandard.news/alberta/watch-edmonton-fire-leaves-one-resident-dead-after-vehicle-collides-with-building/74990

A blaze in north Edmonton on Monday left one resident dead after a mixed-use residential and commercial building was engulfed in flames following a vehicle collision.

Edmonton Fire Rescue Services responded to the blaze at the corner of 132 Ave.and 82 St. shortly before 9:30 p.m. Monday night, after a vehicle collided with a mixed-use residential and commercial building in the Killarney neighbourhood.

Officials have confirmed that one individual who lived in a residential unit above the building's ground-level businesses died in the incident, and crews are working to locate and identify residents who remain unaccounted.

The vehicle's driver was treated by EMS and remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Roughly 44 firefighters and 8-10 ambulances responded to the scene on Monday, and officials say crews continue to fight the blaze as of Tuesday morning.

Edmonton Police Service shut down 82 St. between 137 Aven.and Yellowhead Trail in both directions Monday, but have since decreased the closure to between 131 Ave. and 133 Ave.

Videos posted by YEGWAVE show flames bursting from the centre units, with thick black smoke spewing from windows and doors across the building, while emergency crews at ground level and on ladders above the building attempt to contain the fire.

Photos taken Tuesday morning show significant damage across the scene, with the building's central units appearing to have partially crumbled after being burnt to the studs.

Feds, Alberta, and Oilsands Companies Sign Deal to Move Forward With Pathways Carbon Capture Project

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/feds-alberta-and-oilsands-companies-sign-deal-to-move-forward-with-pathways-carbon-capture-project-6061023?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

The federal government, Alberta, and five major oilsands companies have announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding that they say will advance the multibillion-dollar Pathways carbon capture and storage project.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the Pathways project was signed July 2, the same day that Alberta submitted its proposal to the Major Projects Office for a new crude oil pipeline from Alberta to the southern coast of B.C.

‘Mutually Dependent’

The July 2 MOU was announced July 13 and proposes to “responsibly” boost oilsands production while lessening carbon emissions. The MOU specifically notes that the proposed new pipeline and the Pathways project are “mutually dependent,” echoing past statements from Prime Minister Mark Carney that any new pipeline will carry “decarbonized” oil.

The Pathways project was put forward by five major oilsands companies that make up the Oil Sands Alliance, namely Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial, and Suncor.

The proposed project, which is estimated to cost $16.5 billion to $20 billion, would use a network of pipelines to transport captured carbon dioxide from several major oilsands facilities in northern Alberta and carry it to underground carbon storage sites near Cold Lake, Alta. Continue…

Police Release Identities of 2 Men Killed in Toronto Festival

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/police-release-identities-of-2-men-killed-in-toronto-festival-6061220?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

Police have released the identities of the two men killed in the deadly shooting at the Salsa on St. Clair festival in Toronto on July 11 that also left five others with non-life-threatening injuries.

The festival celebrating Latin music and culture had roughly 13,000 people gathered when the shooting broke out, according to police.

“The victims have been identified as Shaquan Quashie, 25, and Cesar Vernaza, 20,” Toronto Police Service wrote in a July 13 release.

Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said July 13 that the shooting was a “targeted event” and that Quashie and Vernaza knew each other. He added that police are also investigating whether two additional shootings in Toronto over the weekend have any link to the Salsa on St. Clair attack.

The attack occurred shortly after 8 p.m. near St. Clair Ave. West and Arlington Ave. in midtown Toronto when police say they responded to reports of gunfire at the festival.

Upon arrival, they found seven individuals who had suffered gunshot wounds, five of whom were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Continue…

Former Manitoba MP Charged with Gun Trafficking After Authorities Seize Hundreds of Firearms

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/former-manitoba-mp-charged-with-gun-trafficking-after-authorities-seize-hundreds-of-firearms-6061446?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

Former Manitoba MP and Dauphin Mayor Inky Mark has been charged following a months-long firearm trafficking investigation that resulted in the confiscation of more than 400 guns and an antique cannon earlier this month.

Mark was arrested after RCMP seized 439 guns, an antique cannon, ammunition, and more than $300,000 in cash from a western Manitoba home near the city of Dauphin during a July 7 search, Manitoba RCMP Cpl. Barry Kirby said at a July 13 press conference.

“It’s expected to take several weeks for investigators to document the large collection of evidence gathered at the residence and determine how many firearms were illegally possessed,” Kirby said. “What we’re able to confirm today is that at least three firearms were illegally trafficked, at least one firearm had its serial number tampered with, and hundreds of the firearms were improperly stored inside the home.”

Mark appeared in court last week to answer to a dozen charges and was released from custody with specific conditions.

The 78-year-old former politician has been charged with firearms trafficking, possession of a firearm with a tampered serial number, possession of a firearm when knowing possession is unauthorized, and possession of a restricted/prohibited weapon with ammo without a licence.

He has also been charged with three counts of unsafe firearms storage, two counts of careless use of a firearm, and two counts of possession of a prohibited device, according to a police press release. Continue…

Green Candidate Tayte Willows Beats Liberal Leader in PEI Byelection

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/green-candidate-tayte-willows-beats-liberal-leader-in-pei-byelection-6061502?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

Green Party candidate Tayte Willows has won the Prince Edward Island byelection, edging out the Liberal party’s leader to secure the same number of seats in the legislature as the official Opposition.

Willows’ July 13 byelection victory in Cornwall-Meadowbank over Liberal Leader Robert Mitchell gives the Green Party four seats in the 27-seat legislature, matching the Opposition Liberals’ seat count.

The provincial byelection was called after the death of Progressive Conservative cabinet minister Mark McLane in March.

Willows received 1,184 votes, representing nearly 40 percent of the ballots cast, placing her ahead of Mitchell, who secured 31 percent of the vote with 955 votes.

Caley McDonald of the Progressive Conservatives wasn’t far behind with 823 votes, while NDP candidate Craig Nash placed a distant fourth with just 24 votes.

Willows told the CBC her win will give the Green Party “an incredible boost” ahead of the provincial election next year, saying it shows the Greens are “not just a fringe party.” Continue…

Canadian Government Loses Polish Court Case Related to COVID Vaccine Mandate

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/canadian-government-loses-polish-court-case-related-to-covid-vaccine-mandate-6061014?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

A Polish court has ruled in favour of a Canadian embassy employee who was put on leave without pay for refusing mandatory COVID-19 vaccination.

Karolina Janiak, a Polish citizen who had worked at the Warsaw embassy since 2005 as a locally engaged member of staff, sued her employer when she was unilaterally placed on leave without pay in 2021 for not complying with the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy.

Weeks earlier, the federal government had announced the COVID-19 vaccine mandate across the public service and in federally regulated workplaces.

Janiak had sought a medical exemption. Before she could secure it, her salary was withheld starting in December 2021.

Janiak resigned from the embassy in February 2022 and filed her lawsuit in April of that year.

The District Court for Warsaw-Śródmieście issued a ruling in the case in late June of this year, which was obtained by The Epoch Times. Continue…
