This is good, Victor is saying the Iranians can’t figure Trump’s psychology so to understand him they are reading all of Trumps book, the Art of the Deal, the Art of the comeback etc. He’s always intentionally changing his stance, but he’s always got a plan. It’s fascinating of how Victor understands, but he is expert of all ancient and current wars.
(I’ve noticed that, why is Trump contradicting himself, and I thought he was doing headfaking!)
Colorado Supreme Court Blocks Democrat Redistricting Effort
by Cristina Laila Jun. 29, 2026 3:20
The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday blocked the Democrats’ effort toredraw its congressional map.
The proposed mapwould have added three more Democrat seatsin the US House of Representatives.
Colorado’s high court unanimouslystruck down two attempts at redistricting.
Colorado’s Congressional map will remain at 4D and 4R.
Politico reported:
Democrats just suffered a major setback in theirplans to counter Republican redistricting gains before the 2028 elections.
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday that all five proposed redistricting ballot measures in the state —three led by Democrats and two led by Republicans — violated the state’s constitution, preventing either party from implementing new maps by undoing the independent commission that currently controls the process.
Colorado’s eight House seats are currently split evenly between both parties, and one of Democrats’ most ambitious redraw efforts would have created a map where seven of the districts favor the party.
Because Democrats would have needed a measure on the ballot this fall in order to redraw for 2028, the timing of the ruling makes it all but impossible to redraw.
The court issued two opinions on the redistricting measures Monday, and both were unanimous decisions against proposed remapping efforts.
Meanwhile,Republican-led states have successfully eliminated racially gerrymandered districts going into the midterm elections.

Christian Faith and Patriotism at the 2026 FIFA World Cup 1/3
by Antonio Graceffo Jun. 29, 2026
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, the largest in the tournament’s history with 48 nations competing across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has drawn a global audience of billions. What many of those billions have witnessed, alongside the football, is something they may not have expected:open, unashamed declarations of faith and love of country from athletes and fans.
At a moment when American patriotism and Christian identity have returned forcefully to public life, the world’s most-watched sporting event has become their most visible international stage.
Not all American athletes respond to their national anthem the same way. The divergence between those who embrace that moment and those who do not has rarely been more visible than during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Winter Olympics that preceded it.
At the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina,Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal 1:41 into overtime to defeat Canada 2-1giving the United States itsfirst men’s hockey gold in 46 years. Hughes had lost two teeth after taking a high stick during the game, brushing it off with characteristic bravado:“I’m from the best country in the world.We’ve got great dentists there, too. So I’m lucky I’m American.”
Captain Brady Tkachuk, draped in the American flag, told reporters: “This is all about our country right now. I love the USA. I’m so proud to be American today.” President Trump called into the locker room celebration via speakerphone, invited the team to the State of the Union, and offered to send a military plane, an offer met with raucous cheers.
The men’s team attended the State of the Union, where Trump announced he would awardgoalie Connor Hellebuyck the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The U.S. women’s hockey team, which had also won gold, declined the White House invitation.
The contrast extends to the soccer pitch.While tens of thousands of fans sang the Star-Spangled Banner in unison at the 2026 men’s World Cup, at the 2023 Women’s World Cup a majority of USWNT players did not sing the national anthem or place their hands over their hearts. They stood in silence as the Star-Spangled Banner played, while the opposingVietnamese team sang their anthem passionately in unison, every player with her hand over her heart.That image captures something important about what is at stake.
For most of the world, the FIFA World Cup is the single greatest expression of national identity available to them. Many nations will never land on the moon, dominate global military or economic affairs, or top the Olympic medal table, yet every one of them can field a soccer team. Americans, accustomed to leading in all of those arenas and carrying the weight of the world’s reserve currency, have little frame of reference for what this tournament means to a Senegalese or Honduran or Croatian fan.
When American athletes refuseto sing the national anthem, decline to place their hands over their hearts, or publicly distance themselves from their country on that stage,they are broadcasting national ingratitude to a global audience of billionsfor whom representing their country here is the highest honor their sport can bestow.
Before the tournament,Lionel Messi had his special-edition Adidas boots taken to the Basilica of Our Ladyof Luján in Argentina, where they were blessed by a priest. Wearing them on June 16,he scored his first-ever World Cup hat trick against Algeria, making the Sign of the Cross after each goal.
Portugal’s CristianoRonaldo also makes the Sign of the Cross as he steps onto the pitch. England’s Bukayo Saka, Marc Guéhi, and Eberechi Eze, nicknamed the“Bible Brothers” by the British press, have spoken openly about their faith throughout the tournament. Guéhi said,“My faith is the most important thing in my life.”

The patriotism on display at the 2026 men’s World Cup has been a different story entirely. Country duo Dan + Shay performed thenational anthem before the USMNT’s opening matchagainst Paraguay, and the Fox Sports clip went viral within hours, racking up more than 700,000 views in three hours.Tom Cruise was caught on camera singing along in the crowd. At the Turkey match, players and fans sang the Star-Spangled Banner in unison.
Perhaps the most striking patriotism story of the tournament has been “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” After the U.S. team’s 2-0 win over Australia in Seattle, 66,925 fans belted out the John Denver classic with players joining in on the pitch. Midfielder Sebastian Berhalter said: “Singing that song was one of the highlights of this whole tournament so far. Belting that out, it just felt so American in that moment.”
Christian faith has been an equally defining storyline. After the USMNT’s 4-1 opening victory over Paraguay at SoFi Stadium, defender Mark McKenzie led the entire squad in a post-match prayer circle on the pitch in front of more than 70,000 fans. Weston McKennie points skyward after every goal, wears cross earrings on the field, and keeps “All glory to God” at the top of his social media profile.
Defender Chris Richards helps run Bible studies at Crystal Palace. Christian Pulisic has shifted the cultural dynamic of the USMNT locker room by hosting a player-led men’s Bible study he calls “Bible Time,” with teammates including Richards and goalkeeper Matt Freese participating. Freese told the Sports Spectrum podcast: “God’s given me so many opportunities within this game and within my career. I still have a role to play in that. I still have to do my part and take that opportunity and do something with it.” He also follows Father Mike Schmitz’s “Bible in a Year” podcast. Seattle-born midfielder Cristian Roldan summed up his faith in three words: “Jesus is everything.”
That witness has extended well beyond the American squad. Following Germany’s 7-1 opening win over Curaçao in Houston, German midfielder Felix Nmecha and teammate Jonathan Tah joined several Curaçao players at the center circlefor a post-match prayer. Nmecha said afterward: “During the game, we are opponents. But after the game,we are all Christians and we are brothers. We simply prayed together because we all believe that Jesus is glorified through the game.” Before their opening match against England,Croatian playersKristijan Jakić and Igor Matanović used their official FIFA press conference to speak about their Catholic faith.
Mananovic told reporters:“When you pray to God, it’s like a feeling that someone is listening to you, and that gives me a lot of strength.” The team celebrated Mass together in the days before traveling to North America. Jakić added: “.Faith simply means everything in our lives. I think faith represents the entire national team.”

Guéhi said,“My faith is the most important thing in my life.”
Mexico striker Santiago Giménez, Belgium’s Jérémy Doku, and France debutant Maxence Lacroixhave all spoken about praying before matches. One of the tournament’smost remarkable faith stories belongs to Iraq. Its squad includesseveral Assyrian Christian players, members of one of the.world’s oldest Christian communities. Although Christians make up less than one percent of Iraq’s population, they account for roughly one-fifth of the national team.
Brazil goalkeeperAlisson Becker, a devout Pentecostal.nicknamed the “Holy Goalie,” has hosted baptisms in his own swimming pool. Teenage forward Endrick has said that,above all, God is his psychologist.
That outpouring of Christian witness has unfolded against a backdrop of anti-religious, woke controversy. Seattle designated the June 26 match between Egypt and Iran, two nations where same-sex relations are criminalized or penalized, as a “Pride Match” coinciding with the city’s annual Pride weekend. Both federations formally objected and requested that no Pride-related symbolsor activities appear inside the stadium.
FIFA overrode both objections, confirming that rainbow flags would be permitted under its stadium code of conduct.In the history of the men’s World Cup, no publicly out LGBTQ player has ever competed, and none are on any of the 48 teams in this tournament. As a result,FIFA overrode the objectionsof two participating federations to accommodate 0 percent of players and likely 2 percent or fewer of fans.
The breadth of Christian witness at this World Cup, from prayer circles across national lines to blessed boots and locker-room Bible studies, reflects a broader moment in America.Faith and national pride are being reclaimed openly and unapologetically.

WAYNE ROOT: The Supreme Court Just Legalized Stolen Elections. No Choice Now President Trump. This is a Life or Death Emergency. You Must Sign “National Security Emergency for Elections.”
By Wayne Allyn Root Jun. 29, 2026 1:40 pm
By Wayne Allyn Root 1/3
I have very bad news, but then I have really great news.
First, the bad news…
The Supreme Court did it again. As I keep warning, there is something wrong with two of our “conservative” justices- Chief Justice Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett. They’re dirty. They’re playing for the other side.
They are either total frauds- liberal plants masquerading as “conservatives” intent on destroying America by allowing stolen elections…or they are working directly for the Deep State, or bribed by the CCP, or blackmailed.
Either way, Roberts and Barrett aren’t on our side.
And the way they do it is brilliant. They don’t vote against us all the time- that would be too obvious. They do it just enough, in crucial decisions, to avoid anyone questioning their integrity.
They vote with us on most decisions…and then they choose the biggest rulings of our time to vote against us. Brilliant.
If I was an undercover liberal plant on the Supreme Court, or taking bribes from George Soros, or the CCP, or blackmailed, that’s exactly how I’d do it.
I’d vote conservative 90% of the time- but on the important decisions that destroy the GOP and America, I’d side with liberals. That’s how I’d earn my bribe. Just a few decisions that matter- while looking like a good guy 90% of the time.
Today’s Supreme decision was one of the worst of all-time- and that’s saying a lot!
Today the Supremes in all their “wisdom” legalized rigged and stolen elections. They voted 5-4 that Election Day no longer matters. They ruled it’s okay to let Democrats keep voting for days, or weeks, or however long it takes until they get whatever desired result they want.
The Supremes legalized the worst and most obvious scam in US election history.
Democrats don’t have the support of the people- real, legitimate, American-born voters. They lose most of the time with real voters. So, the key to overcoming the votes of real Americans is to steal elections with fake votes. How do they do that? It’s simple…
Wait until Election Night and see the final vote totals. If Republican candidates are up by say 25,000 votes at the end of Election Night, then spend the next 5 days, or 7 days, or 10 days, or weeks in the case of California, manufacturing enough fake mail-in ballots to beat the Republican victory margin. Just find 30,000 extra Democrat votes long after the election ended- and presto! Democrats magically win.
And of course, the more time Democrats have to play this crooked game, the better it looks.
With days or weeks to get the job done, they can slowly make the GOP lead evaporate by a few thousand fake ballots here and a few thousand fake ballots there. At the end of days of counting, Democrats win close- and it doesn’t look too obvious.

To rig and cheat and steal elections, these are the four things Democrats need…
1) Mail-in ballots…
2) No Voter ID…
3) No proof of citizenship…
4) Endless days to count after Election Day.
The Supreme Court, with the help of Roberts and Barrett, just made the whole scam work. They made the scam legitimate.
But don’t despair just yet. Here’s the great news…
This decision was so terrible…such a disaster…such a scam…that President Trump will be outraged…and FORCED to do what I’ve been loudly urging for months now…
Declare a “Presidential National Security Emergency for Elections.”
There is no longer any choice. President Trump has to act fast. Or the midterms will be stolen.
Stop worrying and freaking and screaming about the SAVE Act.
The SAVE Act isn’t happening- as I’ve warned for months. It’s too late. =We don’t have the votes to pass it…and we don’t have the votes to suspend the filibuster. The SAVE Act is dead. It’s as dead as Joe Biden’s brain.==
And even if by hook or crook, or sudden miracle, the GOP Senate had a change of heart and passed the SAVE Act…it would be instantly challenged in court by Democrat lawyers…and tied up for a year, or longer. So, it could never be effective for the midterms.
There is only one answer now. Only one choice. The one I’ve been preaching for months…
A “Presidential National Security Emergency for Elections.”
The really great news is it’s BETTER than the SAVE Act…
It’s the SAVE Act on steroids- Trump style.
It’s got everything the SAVE Act has…and a lot more. It has Voter ID…and proof of citizenship…and severe limits to mail-in ballots…and an end to machine voting…mandates paper ballots…and now Trump will have to add- no counting of ballots past Election Night.
Here’s a concept the Supremes are either too corrupt, or stupid to understand…forget about the rigging and cheating enabled by counting for days past Election Night…set that aside for a moment…it’s even simpler than that…
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/wayne-root-supreme-court-just-legalized-stolen-elections/
3/3
If anyone in America can’t get their vote or ballot in by Election Night, they’re too stupid to be allowed to vote.
But Trump has to act N-O-W. There’s only four months to go before the midterms- and states will need time to implement all these changes.
You may be asking why this Trump EO won’t be challenged by Democrat lawyers and tied up in court just like the SAVE Act? Because it can’t be. As I’ve been shouting from the highest rooftops for months…the Supreme Court already ruled on this. There is nothing Democrat lawyers can do.
It’s a “National Security Emergency.” The Supremes ruled in 1983 these cannot be challenged in court. They can only be overturned by 2/3rds vote in both Houses of Congress. And Democrats don’t have the votes.
Do it President Trump. Do it today. You have no other choice. The GOP Senate will never pass the SAVE Act in time to save the midterms.
And this terrible Supreme Court ruling just forced your hand. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The Supremes have left you no choice. You must take the ball into your own hands!
Thank you Justices Roberts and Barrett for making it so clear to President Trump there is no other choice.
Now watch Democrats lose their minds. Watch their heads explode when they realize the solution I have preached and lobbied for, for many months, is FOOLPROOF.
This is the solution to end rigged elections, and Democrats can’t stop it.

WATCH: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Brushes Off Reporter Asking Why He’s Walking Through House Side of Capitol

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas brushed off a reporter asking why he was walking through the House side of the Capitol.
The Supreme Court on Monday morning issued blockbuster opinions on mail-in ballots, Humphrey’s Executor and other cases.
The high court will issue its final opinions on Tuesday morning.
A reporter ambushed Clarence Thomas on Monday afternoon as he walked through the Capitol.
“Who were meeting with?” a reporter asked Clarence Thomas.
“Oh, nobody,” Clarence Thomas laughed.
“So what are you doing up here?” the reporter asked.
“Just walking,” Clarence Thomas said.
“Do you want to give us a sneak peak of Supreme Court decisions?” the reporter asked.
“Nope,” Clarence Thomas said.
