Early July 2026 News.

 

There are Democrats and one GOP Senator who want to hold Kash Patel, the FBI Director, accountable for Patel's antics and accused corruption allegations. These Congressional leaders want answers on Patel's BMW purchases and his use of the bureau jet. Whistleblowers said that during his taxpayer funded travels all over America, and that Petel has had helicopter tours and jet ski excursions. Republican Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley written a note in May demanding Patel turn over information about his flights on FBI aircraft and about the FBI's purchase of BMW vehicles. FBI spokesman Ben Williamson said that Patel's travel is consistent with the executive branch requirements. He said that Patel reimbursed all travel and expenses following the Office of Management and Budget rules. The Democrats accuse Patel of demoting personnel in Brussels because Patel wasn't adequately entertained. It is no secret that the Trump administration has wiped out over $1.5 billion in penalties and restitution for taxpayers and victims (after his sweeping pardons of convicted fraudsters). We still have the Iran war when Trump claimed to want to end forever wars. The Republican Congress has refused to give Trump accountability on this issue.

The body of Nolan Wells was recently found in Mississippi. The issue of missing black innocent lives being found dead still exists. Many people are race-neutral and view America as totally free of racism in 2026. That is a lie. In the 2020s alone, racist Patriot Front members marched in Washington, D.C. to promote the agenda of white nationalism and that group existed from another Neo-Nazi organization. In May 2025 (not 1955), a black child was called the n word by a white woman named Shiloh Hendrix. Black soccer players have been called slurs even in the 2026 World Cup in America. Many non-black people make no bones about their disgusting hatred of black people. We have a notorious racist and sexist Pete Hegseth firing qualified black people, women, and other minorities for no legitimate reason whatsoever. This coward Pete Hegseth refuses to allow the military to recognize Black History Month and other heritage month observations when these observations have nothing to do with hate but celebrating cultural diversity. Morgan Freeman is 100 percent wrong to say that ending racism requires us to not talk about it. Ending racism requires ending the system of racism, ending microaggressions, and other comprehensive solutions to defeat racism once and for all. Therefore, Wells should be alive today. A real investigation should take place about his passing. We don't live in a Utopia. That is why we, as black people, must always have THE TALK with black youth about how the world is. 

There are many questions not yet answered about the passing of Nolan Xavier Wells. According to Attorney Benjamin Crump, there were deleted messages on Wells' cellphone. Nolan was a very great athlete and he could swim. His family is skeptical that Nolan would drown accidentally. His family wanted the world to know that Noland was a supportive and great young person. The people on the boat took Nolan's cellphone. Hopefully, investigators can use technology to retrieve the deleted text messages. Crump said that there are conflicting accounts from witnesses about whether Nolan said that he was staying behind with a young woman or planned to get back on the boat with his friends to continue to celebrate July 4th. Nolan's body was found near the west end of Horn Island. The state of Mississippi has a long history (back then and now) of reactionary political policies, racial tensions, and resistance to progressive progress in American society. Regardless of what the truth is, Nolan's family deserves the total truth about how their child passed way. Like always, all black lives have dignity and they matter. 

On voting rights, one judge rejected the DOJ push for trying to get Fulton County voting data. According to the source of Propublica, Ken Paxton may have violated voting laws in Texas. The issue is that Paxton appears to have used an address where he didn't live to vote six times. This is total hypocrisy from Paxton. The Trump administration wants states to change election practices, or he will withhold federal funding. He wants state election officials to face arrest if they don't remove noncitizens from voter rolls. The problem with those threats is that it is already against federal law for any noncitizen to vote. There is no evidence that there is a massive number of noncitizens voting in federal, state, or local elections. The courts usually rejected the Trump administration's previous efforts to harm voting rights and harm election procedures. Today, the Justice Department is acting as an agent of the Trump administration instead of an politically independent organization. Also, the court has ordered the disbursement of funds to E. Jean Carroll (who accused Trump of sexually abusing her. The court said that Trump is legally liable of sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll).

A lot of news is going on in the world. It has been nine months after the Sharm el-Sheikh peace agreement. It was signed by many Middle Eastern nations and major powers were in attendance. Gaza still is in ruins, the Palestinians face famine, and Israel has expanded its military control across most of the Strip. The agreement wanted to secure the return of Israeli hostage and return of many Palestinians. The issue is that Israeli has been free to violate the conditions without consequence. More than 1,041 Palestinians were killed after the ceasefire started, and 3,372 people were injured. The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel's campaign includes the deliberate targeting of Palestinian children. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) used the truce period to expand territorial control from 53 percent to about 64 percent of Gaza. This pushes the Yellow Line westward and carving out new restricted military zones. Netayanhu publicly stated that Israel's military are instruction to go to control 70 percent of Gaza. Israel cut humanitarian aid from 600 trucks a day to 300. Gaza's population control to have food insecurity, water supply issues, and deaths of aid workers. Therefore, this is a war crime.

The NATO Summit, Platner, and Other News.

 

The NATO Summit is taking place now in Turkey. Turkey is in an unique space. It is part of NATO, it is a gateway country between Europe and Asia. Also, the leader of Turkey has hostility towards Israel. The Iran war continues as Iran has attacked a civilian vessel, and the U.S. attacked Iran in response. The Iranian War has been exposed by the majority of American people and many military leaders. This is not the Iraq War as Iran has a stronger Airforce, army, and navy than Iraq. The 2nd term of Donald Trump has a pure agenda to expand the powers of the executive branch as much as possible to support the MAGA movement. The unitary executive agenda is part and parcel of Trumpism. Now, DOGE has been shutdown after DOGE has ruined the jobs and economic conditions of millions of Americans including black women. Elon Musk ran the program and acted as almost like a co-President. DOGE didn't talk to Congress but shown down USAID which has helped people from other nations for years involving fightingpoverty, fighting HIV/AIDS, and building up foreign aid in many nations of the world. Congress has ceded their authority to Trump plainly speaking except those who disagreed with Trump's political views. Recently, Serbia detained "disposable" Russian agents who are suspected of planning explosions at German defense facility. This foiled attack was one of the first results of Germany's new Center for Countering Hybrid Threats. U.S. Germany, Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden signed a govt. to govt. deal at NATO's Ankra summit to explore a PAC-3 maintenance facility in Europe, per Lockheed Martin. Canada will aid Ukraine to help the nation defend itself from Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.

We have another woman who said that she was sexually assaulted by Graham Platner, who is running for the Senate in Maine. Many of us have warned people that Platner's fascist tattoos, his previous reactionary statements, and women accusing him of raping and abusing them make us aware that he isn't the best person who should run for the Democratic side of this Maine Senate race. Now, more information and allegations are coming out. Platner denies all allegations. This recent accuser actually dated Platner and agrees with much of Platner's political views, but she wanted her story to come out. She told her therapist first and then went public with her story. Like always, no one should do sexual abuse, sexual harassment, or any evil against any human life. The best thing for this person Platner to do is to drop out of this race and allow another person to run on the Democratic side for the Senate race. Enough is enough. There is a difference between having a few imperfections and allegations of sexual assault and verbal abuse. We are not hypocrites here. Trump has been found liable of sexual abuse, and Trump has disrespected black women journalists, the soldiers, peaceful protesters, and people with mental disabilities. I opposed Trump's views too, but some people still voted for Trump in a disgraceful fashion.

More and more voices are calling for Platner to resign. Platner has been claiming for the working class, and some people claiming to be leftists should be blamed as promoting him as the only option to run against Maine's Republican Senator Susan Collins. As Yemisi Edgeweole said that it best that Platner was cosplaying as being part of working-class values when many so-called "progressives" justified him having Nazi tattoos, said wicked comments, etc. You don't need to give up on character in order to win an election. Even Bernie Sanders desires Platner to step down now. Now, here we are. Many women have accused him of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and verbal abuse. Platner has admitted to having an alcoholic problem. The same hypocrites who lecture us on values decided to promote a person with massive scandals. Daniel Moraff and other Democratic Platner supporters should be blamed as well. David Hogg, who is borderline ageist in my opinion, once supported Platner until these new allegations existed. Hogg even went oyster fishing with Planter on his farm. Then, you have people like Cenk Uygur who said that the national media is politically assassinating Graham Planter. They are not as the media is just reporting on the allegations, the controversies, and the deceptions of Platner. Governor Wes Moore is right to say that Planter should get out of the race now.

The fascist Patriot Front group marched in Washington, D.C. Photos show a black man and a black woman being near them fearing for their lives. One Trump official refuse to say that Trump must condemn the Patriot Front. The evil agenda of Patriot Front has nothing to do with free speech as the agenda of Patriot Front is to desire a white racist ethnostate in America. The Trump administration hates free speech that is anti-MAGA. Trump explicitly called the media the enemy of the state. The DHS promoted remigration which is the agenda to making America have mass deportation of immigrants (especially immigrants of colors) out of America. America is a more diverse, multicultural nation than decades ago, and people like Stephen Miller and the Patriot Front don't like that. The myth is that racists and xenophobes are just wearing a hood. Some wear suits and ties to spew their lies. The Popular Front hid their identities like cowards to show anonymity. Truth doesn't need anonymity. It just exists 24/7 265.  Trump sharing a racist post of the Obamas (which shows a falsified image of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama waving before boarding an Air Force One that had spray painted with graffiti shows Trump's jealousy, racism, and rage against progressive ideals).

In the UK, plans are being made to heavily restrict the Internet and social media access. Plans are in America too. For example, some want no one to have access to social media without a ID. These plans have nothing to do with protecting children. It has to do with promoting a Big Brother system that tries to strife the freedom of speech. Some want people to give up their Social Security Number to go into online platforms which is total authoritarian. From Trump promoting massive deregulation of crypto and other people promoting Big Brother policies, we must be clear to promote free speech, democracy, and a totally free Internet. The agenda of promote total and complete removal of anonymous Internet is beyond Democrat vs. Republican. It is about freedom vs. tyranny. FIFA reverses a U.S. soccer's star suspension after a Trump call to FIFA. The situation started when U.S. soccer star Folarin Balogun was given a red card and was suspended. Later, FIFA (with a history of controversies and scandals) later rescinded the red card suspension. Now, Folarin Balogun can play in the U.S. World Card match against Belgium. Trump didn't believe that there was a foul involving that play that caused Balogun to be temporarily suspended. The truth is that during the game of the USMNT's 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina had inadvertently stomped on the ankle of an opponent while vying for possession. Trump asked FIFA to review the U.S. player's suspension. The President of FIFA is Gianni Infantino. The Belgium head coach opposed the decision or reinstatement equating to an April Fools' Day joke. The fundamental point is that Trump wanted to get his way with undue influence over the power structure of FIFA.
