Late July 2026 News.
Trump has promoted a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia. This is about a 30-year civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that promotes a pathway for uranium enrichment on Saudi soil and gives American companies exclusive rights to build the kingdom's nuclear infrastructure. This is ironic as Trump wants Iran to have no nuclear weapons in its nation. The elephant in the room is that such a deal can increase tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran as the Saudis are mostly Sunnis while Iran is mostly Shia. Many people in Congress oppose such a deal as it could disincentivize Iran from limiting its nuclear program according to Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. The proposal will be sent to Congress. Also, it is no secret that the Trump administration and the Saudi regime want massive economic profits to build up their economies. The Iranian war continues with Hegseth desiring $67 billion of extra money to continue the war when that would cut food stamps and social services that Americans desperately need to survive. This war is about American imperialism not some altruistic goal of democracy or freedom for all. This crisis of escalation is not beneficial to the American people or the Iranian people. There must be an end of this war to make sure that the world has mutual solutions being enacted.
One Judge said that Trump's attack on mail voting is unconstitutional. We have to vote. Voting is not the only thing that we need to do, but we should always protect the human right of voting. If voting never matters, why has Republicans tried to pass laws restricting the human rights to vote. The agenda of Project 2025 and MAGA are clear to even use federal agencies to monitor voting sites which is immoral. People should have access to transportation and other legal means to vote as efficient as possible. Also, Jack Smith's legal team is fighting what they deem a "meritless" criminal referral from a Republican Congressman over Smith's testimony. Jack Smith has been very vocal about his previous legal work. The truth is that Trump and his allies are targeting tons of people who disagree with Trump or investigated Trump for wrongdoing.
Some good news is that U.S. prosecutors from the DOJ has dropped the New York Times subpoenas in the Trump plane leak probe. The New York Times journalists reported on security concerns about Trump flying on a Qatari donated Air Force One. That plane could have tracking devices and all sorts of spying material on it. The subpoenas were issued by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton on July 10. This is part of the anti-First Amendment agenda from the Trump administration in trying to compel journalists to reveal confidential sources in leak investigations. Such actions only manipulate and prevent heroic reporting on various issues. The New York Times asked Judge Subramanian to throw out the subpoenas, because they were issued improperly and infringed on free press protections under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The Times said that the subpoenas were utilized to harass and intimidate journalists. It is no secret that Trump has tried to intimidate the media and networks in trying to spread his MAGA propaganda. The struggle continues, but we will be victorious in the end.
Todd Blanche will soon be voted by the Senate, so he will either be confirmed or not to officially be the United States Attorney General. Whether Todd Blanche will be confirmed or note by the Senate depends on a few amount of GOP Senators. Epstein survivors want Tillis and Cornyn to not confirm Blanche after Blanche's meeting with Epstein's victims. Blanche released many Epstein files with many of the personal information of the victims released. Senator Cornyn has not spoken about supporting Blanche or not involving confirmation. The Senators will not vote until the end of July of 2026. Blanche has failed many court cases. Blanche supported a Trump crime fund to defend Trump in legal cases, and the courts have ruled such a plan illegal. The Department of Justice has not promoted independent political views but being a client of the Trump administration to promote its interests. Blanche has fired hundreds of DOJ officials without just merit. This complicates the power of government and the execution of the real duties of the Department of Justice. We have to stand on our views in favor of universal health care, of immigrant rights, of black liberation, of opposition to imperialism, economic justice, etc.
Recently, a freedom fighter passed away who was Denise Oliver-Velez. She was a pioneer who was a black woman being a member of both the Black Panther Party of Self-Defense and the Young Lords. She was a lifelong activist and educator who lived to be 78 years old. She loved freedom and fought strongly against sexism. She was the first woman elected to the Young Lords Central Committee, a Puerto Rican human rights group that modeled on the Black Panther Party. She was the first black woman program director in public radio and taught at SUNY New Paltz. She spoke her mind, loved truth, and showed compassion to people In Fact, Democracy Now!'s Juan Gonzalez worked with Denise Oliver-Velez in the Young Lords. The lesson of her life is that the wisdom of the elders should always motivate the younger generation to fight for rightful social change. Also, living in these times when a fascist is President should give us motivation to liberate ourselves and the human race in general.
Rest in Power Sister Denise Oliver-Velez.

The Iranian War Continues.
On Tuesday, Pete Hegseth and General Caine face lawmakers on the Iranian War. Both human beings answered questions about the proposed more billions of dollars for further American involvement in the Iranian War. Hegseth defends Trump's Iranian war policy of saying that Iranian's military is heavily damaged. Ossoff asked Hegseth about how Hegseth said four months that major objectives involving Iranian military forces being heavily defeated militarily contradicts reality. Hegseth said to Ossoff that America has executed a huge victory against Iranian forces. Obviously, this isn't the case as Iran and America have executed missile strikes against each other for days and months. The reality is also that the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, and the racist Houthis (who have promoted slavery in Yemen) in Yemen are trying to block areas of Saudi Arabia. The reality is that Hegseth used deflection to equate criticizing government policy involving a war to criticizing the troops. That is not the case. Hegseth and Trump used diverse and contradictory statements about the goals and justifications for the Iranian war. Peters and Ossoff asked legitimate questions to Hegseth, and Hegseth turned around and used personal attacks against Peters (by calling him having TDS when dissent against Trump is perfectly fine as Trump is not God. Trump is not immune from critique). The Pentagon is spending billions of dollars in the Iranian war, and members of both parties have paid tribute to the U.S. military troops who were murdered by the Iranian regime. Hegseth didn't outline a clear exit strategy involving the Iranian conflict.
Tariq Nasheed is at it again. During a recent radio broadcast, a racist white man called black people the n word, lied about black people and crime (when crime rates in the black community has consistently declined for 10-20 years). Tariq Nasheed, in that show, didn't refute the racist, he didn't condemn the man using the n word, and he didn't use statistics. He just continued to talk in disagreement and said "Yes, Sir" to this racist man. First, I'm not calling a male Sir if he uses racial slurs against my black people. Second, I would use more passion and strength to refute that racist using history and statistics in a firm fashion. Racists don't care about respectability politics. That means that a black person can wear conservative clothes, speak eloquently, and behave in a respectable manner, and that racist still hates black people. This shows Tariq Nasheed as a coward, because he was all meek to this white racist, but he spews derogatory, offensive language against black immigrants and Africans (along with using slurs like the t word against them, disrespect their hairlines, etc.). I identify as African American or black American, not FBA as my ancestors didn't originate in America. My ancestors came from Africa many centuries ago. My African Americans ancestors lived in America in the 1700s and before that time, but my ancestral origin is from Western and Central Africa (as proven by history and the multiple DNA tests that I have taken. I have almost 90 percent Sub Saharan African DNA from my 2 DNA tests). The FBA and ADOS movements are cultic and false because of many reasons. One is that cultural diffusion is real meaning that many Afro-Caribbeans centuries ago traveled between North America and the Caribbean (and many of them married black Americans). The term African American existed in the 1700s, so that refutes the lie from numerous FBA/ADOS people that Jesse Jackson popularized or invented the term. Second is that you can promote reparations for black Americans specifically without scapegoating Afro-Caribbeans (and Africans) for major economic social and economic problems in the African American community. This problem existed by the system of white racism and other factors not every black person who is from not from America. All people of the black Diaspora should be treated with dignity and with respect. So, anyone (if that person doesn't apologize) slandering black Americans is canceled, and anyone slandering Afro-Caribbeans and Africans is also canceled in my eyes.
Third, there are many black people who are Gullahs in South Carolina who are still black Americans but have blatant Caribbean and African cultural links. Many self-haters want to claim that they are 100 percent Native American which is ludicrous. Many ADOS and FBA followers view black American culture as nearly monolithic when African American culture is very diverse based on regions and urban including rural plus suburban environments. For example, Northern and Southern black Americans have different accents, cultures, etc. along with the Great Migration tying Northern and Southern black Americans together at the same time. Many ADOS/FBA followers have a superiority complex to claim cultural supremacy over every other black person when all people are created equal. Tariq Nasheed created the FBA movement, and he is a notorious xenophobe (many FBA followers consider black Americans the t word if they disagree with them. My ancestors came from Virginia and North Carolina for centuries. I disagree with xenophobic nonsense. Ironically Tariq Nasheed said that it is good that the Trump is trying to stop reparations for Evanston, Illinois in lying to claim that it wasn't a real reparations plan when it was. Tariq is a liar to say that Queen Mother Moore wasn't Pan-African when she was), embraces sexist manosphere talking points, and has been exposed by scholars for years now. The ADOS/FBA movements have been aided by the establishment to try to divide black people. Therefore, as a black American, I will celebrate my black American culture without apology. I do believe in reparations for African Americans. Yet, I won't use that as an excuse to hate Africans and Afro-Caribbeans though. One ethnic group of the black African Diaspora shouldn't be scapegoated for all evils in the black community in America. That point should always be emphasized in opposing bigoted movements (some of the FBA crowd is pro-MAGA too as Tariq praised many of Trump's views on many occasions). At the end of the day, folks (including Tariq Nasheed) who are part of the ADOS and FBA movements need to wake up and reject xenophobia completely.
Trump administration official Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin threatened to prosecute and imprison state election officials who refuse to comply with federal demands. This is fascism and another example how the Trump regime is promoting extremist behavior. It is no question that the Trump administration seeks to overturn the 2026 midterm election (if Democrats win the House) by using more sophisticated means than in 2020. Mullin spoke this nonsense from the Eisenhower Executive Office building after Trump gave his address about elections. Trump promoted the myth that the 2026 midterms are under threat by China. Trump desires to overturn any election that has a Republican defeat. Mullin wants federal grants, the DHS databases, and the threat of criminal prosecution to impose its views on state election system. This is immoral as state elections are to be controlled by the state governments. There is no constitutional law saying that the federal government should control all aspects of state and local elections. Mullin wants to target states that refuse to use SAVE or the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database. SAVE is nothing more than Big Brother on steroids using a "voting" face. Mullin's threat of financial tactics is an attack on the Constitution. The executive branch has no right to unilaterally dictate state voting procedures or prosecute election officials for refusing presidential order. Mullin's views are rightfully rejected by progressives and freedom lovers in general. The traitor Fetterman said that he is willing to reconsider some things said by Mullin. The good news is that the SAVE Act probably won't pass the Senate. The bad news is that threats to our democratic voting rights remain. We desire true justice against the Trump agenda.
The Iranian war has escalated into a new level. The M.O.U. plan seems to have been gone or delayed. This war seems to probably last for a few more months. Iran has targeted many U.S. military bases and other places in the Middle East. The Trump administration has also targeted military sites including bridges, railways, ports, and the power grid. It has enforced a naval blockade with missile fire. The issue is how can the Strait of Hormuz be open for all ships and how can this conflict end in Iran without further military conflict. The answer to those questions is very complicated and won't be solved anytime soon unfortunately. This Iranian war is the biggest foreign policy blunder by the Trump administration, because it is an unjust and unnecessary war. The Iranian war has nothing to do with self-defense or any type of morality. This war existed because of pure, unadulterated imperialism seeking to advance the agenda of oligarchy against humanity. Iranian missiles killed two American soldiers in Jordan on Friday. A third solider was killed in Northern Iraq. The Iranian regime is not a paragon of virtue as it is a theocratic, authoritarian regime that has murdered Iranian protesters and has policies against the human rights of the Iranian people too. The Iranian attack in Jordan attacked King Faisal Air Base and on Prince Hassan Air Base. The Iranian war has increased up gas prices, fertilizer, and other goods and services. No one, who is honorable, is seeking this war, and Trump is continuing this war for narcissistic purposes without concern of public opinion or morality. The Wall Street Journal reported on July 15 that Trump is thinking about option with using ground forces to seize Iranian islands near the Strait of Hormuz. This is why we have to promote checks and balances (after the Trump administration has limited access of some of the media in Pentagon briefings); Congress must rein in the power of the executive branch.
