Two notorious Trump critics—billionaire Mark Cuban and disgraced former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci—have signaled interest in joining Elon Musk’s newly announced “America Party,” a political faction Musk claims is aimed at restoring “freedom” to the American people.

Musk made the announcement Saturday on his social media platform X, declaring the official launch of the America Party amid a growing feud with President Donald Trump.

“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it,” Musk wrote.

“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”

The post came shortly after a July 4th-themed poll on X, where Musk asked: “Should we create the America Party?”

A staggering 1.2 million Americans participated in his poll. 65.4% said YES and 34.6% said NO.

Musk wrote, “One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts. Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.”

Almost immediately, anti-Trump billionaire and NBA owner Mark Cuban emerged from his Silicon Valley echo chamber, flooding Musk’s announcement with celebratory emojis. In a separate post, Cuban advertised his alliance with @voterchoice, a group focused on helping third-party candidates get on state ballots.

Even more embarrassingly, Anthony Scaramucci — the man whose 11-day stint in the Trump White House ended in disgrace — begged for a meeting with Musk.

“I would like to meet to discuss. My DMs are open,” the former Trump ally-turned-media darling tweeted.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear Confirms He is Thinking About 2028 Presidential Run (VIDEO)

Andy Beshear / CNN

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has opened the door to running for the Democratic nominee in 2028.

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Beshear was asked point blank about his ambitions moving forward.

Beshear’s term as governor will conclude in December 2027, meaning he could move straight from the governor’s mansion to the White House.

He explained:

So my primary obligation and what I’m putting all my energy towards is to be the best governor of Kentucky that I can be next year. I’ll also be the head of the Democratic Governors Association.

I think especially in these rural states where Republican governors have not spoken up whatsoever to stop this devastating bill, we’re going to have strong candidates.

We’re going to win a lot of elections, and hopefully that paragraph about who speculated in 28 gets bigger because we’ve brought in more leaders.”

If you’d asked me this question a couple of years ago, I would have said no. My family’s been through a lot, but I do not want to leave a broken country to my kids or anyone else’s.

So what I think is most important for 2028 is a candidate that can heal this country, that can bring people back together. So when I sit down, I’m going to think about whether I’m that candidate or whether someone else is that candidate.

I’m going to make sure we’re putting the country first, because my kids deserve to grow up in a country where they don’t have to turn on the news every morning, even when they’re on vacation and say, ‘What the heck happened last night?’

Watch the clip below:

The 47-year-old was considered a leading contender to be Kamala Harris’s running mat, although she ended up picking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz instead.

Despite styling himself as a moderate, Beshear is anything but.

Just last month, the  Department of Justice sued his administration for providing discounted college tuition to illegal aliens, all while making American citizens pay the full price.

WATCH: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Delivers a Brutal Reality Check to Elon Musk as Tesla CEO Looks to Sabotage GOP with Formation of New Political Party

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered some bad news to Elon Musk after the world’s richest man announced the formation of a new political party yesterday.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, a bitter Musk spent his Independence Day doubling down on his threat to form a new political party, dubbed the “America Party.” In an X post, he claimed he wants to disrupt the two-party system by creating a party for the “80% in the middle” who feel abandoned by Democrats and Republicans.

In subsequent posts about his plans, Musk wrote, “One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts.” Given the fact that third-party candidates cost the GOP two Senate seats (Wisconsin and Michigan) last fall and the fact that Musk’s fans lean right, this amounts to effective sabotage.

Nevertheless, Musk officially formed the “America Party” Saturday afternoon. What a disgraceful betrayal.

Bessent was asked about Musk’s move toward the end of his interview with CNN’s Dana Bash and calmly delivered a reality check the X owner would not like to hear.

WATCH:

BASH: He (Musk) announced this weekend that he is starting a new political party. Does this worry the Trump Administration?

BESSENT: Look, the principles of DOGE were popular. If you looked at the polling, Elon was not. The Boards of Directors at his various companies wanted him to come back and run his companies, which he is better at than anyone.

So, I imagine those Board of Directors did not like this announcement yesterday and will be encouraging him to focus on his business activities, not his political activities

In other words, Bessent is telling Musk that not only has his ego gotten too big, but that he is also an amateur at the political game. This will likely tick Musk off to no end

Bessent’s point is further buttressed by the fact that Musk has already suffered a significant blow. Azoria, a prominent investment firm, had planned to debut the Tesla Convexity ETF next week, but has now pulled its support indefinitely following Musk’s new political foray.

The Azoria Tesla Convexity ETF would have offered investors a strategic vehicle for exposure to Tesla’s high-growth potential. What a missed opportunity.

The Apple Does Not Fall Far from the Tree: Father of NYC Commie Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Is a Whtey-Hating, BLM-Loving Lunatic

New York City leftists stunned the Democrat Party elites when they nominated radical communist Zohran Mamdani as their party’s candidate for Mayor of New York City.

Mamdani won the Democrat primary after former Governor Andrew Cuomo initially withdrew from the race on election night in June.

Zohran is a self-described socialist with radical ideas and an apparent hatred for Israel. Mamdani has proposed free universal child care, creating city-run grocery stores, rolling out free bus service, and freezing rents on rent-stabilized units.

These policies have failed whenever they have been enacted by a wild-eyed communist.

But Zohran is clearly the face of the new Democrat Party, a party determined to take down and destroy America once and for all.

Now, new video was discovered of Zohran Mamdani’s father and it is not hard to see where Zohran learned all of his hateful, communist dogma.

Zohran’s father in one video that surfaced recently and was posted online by Maze bloviates on how the Nazis and Allies had the same goal, how Abe Lincoln was Hitler’s inspiration, and how white people are the oppressors and America is the root of all evil.

Now we know where Zohran gets all of his hateful rhetoric from.

Here is Zohran’s father Mahmood Mamdani, an “educator,” spouting off his anti-American hate..

Mahmood Mamdani: The Nazi political project was shared by the Allies, and that political project was to turn Germany into a pure nation, a pure nation rid of its minorities. When the Allies defeated the Nazis and went into Eastern Europe, they began to create pure nations to ethnically cleanse Eastern Europe of Germans, move them back into Germany. One crime doesn’t wipe out another.

A Christian nation state decides to clean it of all religious minorities, Jews and Muslims in particular, and at the same time launches a colonization experience. Experiment, the discovery of the Americas. I argue that nationalism and colonialism are not two different things. America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism. The American model was exported all around the world.

In America, you have two kinds of minorities that have run the course of the history of the modern American state, the American Indian and the African American. Each has a different significance for our contemporary era. The American Indians were the people on that land when the settlers conquered it. First, they tried to eliminate as many Indians as possible. This was the first recorded genocide in modern history. Then, with the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations. They herded American Indians into separate territories.

For the Nazis, this was the inspiration. Hitler realized two things. One, that genocide was doable. It is possible to do genocide. That’s what Hitler realized. The second thing Hitler realized was that you don’t have to have a common citizenship. You can differentiate between people. The Nuremberg laws were patterned after American laws.

Anyway, the US put Indians in reservations. The US invented the model, what we call today the two-state solution. The American state, and alongside it, several protectorates with degrees of autonomy but no independence. It has had its own effect, and we will realize the effect if we contrast it with what happened to the African Americans, because the African Americans were not put in a separate state. The African Americans were part of the one-state solution. They were oppressed terribly within a single state. But the thing is that the American Indians, by being put in separate states, were perpetually fragmented, isolated. Up to today, the African Americans, are horribly oppressed, but had the possibility of building alliances with other oppressed peoples.

We have a history of the same hundreds of years which have brought us to the point where we are with Black Lives Matter, which are at the forefront of progressive struggles in the US.

And daddy Mamdani obviously hates Christians too.

This explains junior’s belief system – he formed it from his father’s lectures.

Video via Maze.

Maze added: He sent his son to a 50k a year private elementary school in NYC. Now he preaches about how bad America is. So cliche.

FYI – Here is the full video of Mamdani delivering his hateful remarks in 2022.

Sec. Kristi Noem Applauds Coast Guard Hero Scott Ruskin After He Saves 165 Lives on First Mission in Texas Flood Disaster

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem took to X to shine a national spotlight on Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, who personally rescued 165 Texans amid devastating flash flooding in Central Texas.

A catastrophic flash flood over the Fourth of July weekend has devastated the Texas Hill Country, particularly along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County.

At least 51 fatalities have been confirmed across multiple affected counties. At least 27 girls from the Christian summer camp are still missing.

Emergency crews—including the Texas National Guard—have rescued over 850 people, including victims clinging to trees, and conducted more than 160 airlift operations .

Secretary Kristi Noem praised U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, marking his first-ever rescue mission during the recent floods that devastated Central Texas.

Secretary Noem’s post celebrated Ruskin’s selfless actions:

“United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, directly saved an astonishing 165 victims in the devastating flooding in central Texas. This was the first rescue mission of his career and he was the only triage coordinator at the scene. Scott Ruskin is an American hero. His selfless courage embodies the spirit and mission of the U.S. Coast Guard.”

According to X user Intelschizo, a former IS1, “Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, an Aviation Survival Technician (AST) with the United States Coast Guard, has rescued 165 people during his first operational mission, responding to the devastating flash floods in Texas. This achievement sets a new record for the most lives saved by a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer in a single mission, surpassing the previous record of 153 saves during Hurricane Katrina. Bravo Zulu to AST Ruskin and U.S. Coast Guard Heartland District personnel currently operating around Kerrville.”

What Happened to Crazy Rosie? At 63 She Looks Like She Could Be 80 – She Let Trump Ruin Her – Now She Sits in Ireland Hinting About Revolution Against Trump

What happened to crazy Rosie O’Donnel?

The former Hollywood star is 63 but looks like she’s Trump’s older sister.

For the 4th of July, Rosie released a video excoriating Trump from her bunker in Ireland. The bitter leftist put her energy into trashing Trump rather than celebrating her country or enjoying her privileged life. Trump broke her.

Rosie:  We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed. But whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government… Come on, America. Keep going. Happy 4th of July. This is a sad day in American history.

Rosie spent her 4th creating a video hinting at revolution to remove Trump from office.
She’s broken.

It looks like she took this miserable post down.
It is no longer on her Instagram page.

Former Trump Advisor: “Government Set to Release $150 Trillion Asset to Public”

(Note: Thank you for supporting businesses like those presenting a sponsored message below and ordering through the links below, which benefits Gateway Pundit. We appreciate your support!)

Take a look at this map…

On the surface, it seems ordinary.

But what if I told you, it’s worth $150 trillion? (Yes, trillion, with a “T.”)

What makes this map so special?

As you’ll see, it points the way to a 15-figure fortune held by the Federal Government.

We were shown this map by former Presidential Advisor, Jim Rickards, one of the most politically connected men in America.  Rickards has spent his fifty-year career in the innermost circles of the U.S. government and banking.

And he believes Trump could soon release this frozen asset to the public.

He says, “When it happens… it could alter the course of America, forever.”

Jim calls this stash of frozen assets our “national endowment.”

For good reason. If you divide this figure by the number of households in America, each family would receive $1.1 million.

But something even more spectacular is bound to happen. And those who know what to expect could make a potential
fortune.

Hamas Grenade Attack Injures 2 Highly Decorated US Combat Veterans Helping Deliver 63 Million Meals to Gaza

U.S.-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is distributing 2 million meals a day in Gaza

 

As President Trump prepares to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House Monday, two American aid workers were injured by an Iranian grenade thrown by Hamas supporters in Gaza. The U.S.-run  Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is distributing 2 million meals a day to Gaza residents, as 170 pro-Hamas “aid groups” protest the population finally receiving aid that bypasses Hamas.

Two highly decorated American veterans serving as humanitarian aid workers in Gaza were injured Thursday morning in an attack at an aid distribution site in Gaza, where civilians were gathered to receive vital food and supplies, Israel National News reported. According to official reports, terrorists threw two grenades into the distribution center.

Hamas terrorists threw grenades packed with ball bearings at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution site near the southern Gazan city of Khan Yunis, Foundation for Defense of Democracies reported. The GHF posted a picture of fragments from one of the explosive devices, stating that the two assailants had targeted the “highly decorated American veterans” then run into a crowd of civilians following the attack. The IDF, responsible for providing security outside the aid sites, facilitated the safe evacuation of the two injured Americans who were reportedly in stable condition.

The attack comes as international leftist media and 170 anti-Israel “aid groups” actively try to undermine the US-led aid effort in Gaza, which has destributed 63 million meals to the population of Gaza, bypassing Hamas and its UNRWA proxies and keeping them from stealing the aid and selling it on the black market for wildly inflated prices. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is distributing 2 million meals a day to suffering Gaza residents, while Hamas tries to scare them off with gunfire and attacks on GHF personnel. 12 local GHF staffers were killed in a bus ambush June 20, others have been tortured, GHF said.

“Just this morning, terrorists threw two grenades into an aid distribution site in Rafah, while civilians were still present,” Shoshani stated. “As a result of the explosion of one of the grenades, two American Gaza Humanitarian Foundation personnel were injured.” He added that IDF troops facilitated a safe evacuation of the injured workers for further medical treatment.

Evangelical pastor Reverend Johnnie Moore, head of the U.S.-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), confirmed the incident in a statement in a post on X. Moore was a professor of religion at Liberty University and  served as Jerry Falwell’s assistant during his travels. He was involved in negotiating the Abraham Accords fpor the first Trump White House 2018

“This morning, two American aid workers were injured distributing food as part of GHF activities,” Moore tweeted. “Early indication is that this was hostile action by Hamas. GHF continues to investigate and will update with more information as it becomes available.”

Moore expressed gratitude that the injuries were not life-threatening and urged the public to pray for the victims and their families. “All we want to do is feed Gazans. That’s all,” he added. “These Americans are heroes who put their lives in harm’s way every day to do it.”

One Big Beautiful Bill Delivers Historic Middle-Class Tax Relief

After decades of broken promises by previous administrations, President Trump has finally put more than $10,000 back into the pockets of working families. Yet, as expected, Democrats refuse to acknowledge how the One Big Beautiful Bill benefits the middle class.

On July 4th, President Trump made history by signing the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” delivering what politicians have promised for generations but never achieved: the largest middle-class tax cut in American history.

While Democrats continue their “tax cuts for billionaires” rhetoric, households earning between $50,000 and $150,000 per year will see their annual take-home pay rise by $5,000 to $8,000.

White House projections suggest a family of four could save as much as $10,000 to $13,300. A distributional analysis by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the bill provides over $600 billion in middle-class tax relief, with the largest proportional benefits going to households earning under $50,000.

The legislation specifically targets core earners with a 15% tax cut for those making between $30,000 and $80,000. Middle-quintile households are projected to see after-tax income rise by 2.6% in 2025 and 4.3% in 2026.

Tipped workers will also see a significant boost in take-home pay, with up to $1,700 in savings through the elimination of income taxes on tipped earnings.

This benefits approximately 4 million workers in jobs like waitressing, barbering, hairstyling, and taxi driving. Additionally, the bill increases income for more than 80 million hourly workers by up to $1,750 by eliminating income taxes on the overtime pay premium.

The expanded standard deduction nearly doubles the amount of income that is tax-free, saving middle-class households up to $2,600 per year. The child tax credit increases from $2,000 to $3,500 per child, providing families with two children as much as $7,000 in direct tax relief.

Seventy percent of the tax cuts benefit families making less than $500,000, and working families earning between $15,000 and $30,000 will see the largest percentage reduction, a 23% cut in taxes.

The bill also invests $124 billion in children from low- and middle-income families by creating new savings accounts and enhancing 529 education plans.

For seniors, the bill delivers tremendous relief. It provides a $6,000 bonus tax deduction for Americans aged 65 and older.

When combined with existing deductions, this ensures that 88% of seniors receiving Social Security, roughly 51.4 million people, will owe no federal income tax on their benefits.

A single senior receiving the average $24,000 in annual Social Security income will see deductions exceed their taxable amount. Married seniors with a combined $48,000 in benefits will also see full exemption from federal income taxes.

While President Trump originally campaigned on eliminating Social Security taxes entirely, this targeted approach achieves the same outcome for nearly 9 in 10 seniors, without weakening the Social Security trust fund.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is projected to boost long-run U.S. GDP by about 1.2%, thanks to its pro-growth tax reforms.

Business will now enjoy permanent full expensing for business equipment and R&D, allowing companies to deduct 100% of capital investments immediately.

Small business owners also benefit from payroll tax reductions averaging $3,000 to $5,000 annually, depending on their earnings and number of employees.

According to the Council of Economic Advisers, these provisions are estimated to raise investment by 2.7–3.2% and deliver 0.6–0.7% additional GDP growth in the long run, along with real wage gains of $1,374–$2,601.

The Tax Foundation finds that this package adds 1.2% to GDP over the long term, with permanent expensing accounting for 0.7% of that increase.

The remaining 0.5% comes from making previous tax cuts permanent and expanding the standard deduction, factors that collectively provide businesses and households with the certainty needed for sustained economic growth.

Despite Democrat claims to the contrary, the bill is not a giveaway to the rich, it provides tremendous benefits to the American middle class.

With thousands of dollars in tax relief for families, seniors, hourly workers, and small business owners, this legislation delivers exactly what was promised: more money in the hands of everyday Americans.

Additionally, by incentivizing investment, driving wage growth, and fueling long-term economic expansion, the bill ensures job creation and price stability, outcomes that help every American, not just the wealthy.

U.S. Air Force Halts Musk’s SpaceX Rocket Project on Pacific Atoll After Leftist Activists Raise Alarm Over Seabirds

A graphical depiction of a notional Rocket Cargo concept of operations utilizing reusable rocket boosters and spacecraft., (SPACEWORKS ENTERPRISES VIA USAF)

The U.S. Air Force has scrapped its plans to test hypersonic rocket cargo deliveries using Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets from the remote Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean—all to protect a few seabird nests.

The decision, first reported by Stars and Stripes, comes just weeks after Reuters ran a story quoting so-called “experts” who raised concerns that the high-speed delivery project could disturb nesting tropical birds on the uninhabited atoll.

The Air Force had intended to use the atoll—an uninhabited U.S. territory located 800 miles southwest of Hawaii—as a launch and landing site for experimental rocket systems capable of delivering 100 tons of cargo anywhere on Earth in under 90 minutes.

The implications for battlefield logistics and humanitarian aid were monumental. But that vision has now been grounded.

Why? Because a handful of environmentalists raised concerns over the nesting patterns of tropical birds on the atoll.

A petition opposing the program gathered fewer than 4,000 signatures. In response, the Air Force initially promised an environmental review. Now, they’re outright exploring new locations.

Stars and Stripes reported:

The Air Force had announced in the Federal Register in March that it was undertaking an environmental assessment for the construction of two rocket landing pads on the atoll.

It anticipated issuing a draft assessment by April, but publication was delayed as opposition to the plan by environmental groups surged. A petition calling for the Air Force to abandon the plan had garnered 3,884 signatures as of Wednesday.

“The Department of the Air Force has elected to hold the preparation of the Johnston Atoll Environmental Assessment for a proposed rocket cargo landing demonstration on Johnston Atoll in abeyance while the service explores alternative options for implementation of the rocket cargo Vanguard program at a location other than Johnston Atoll,” Laurel Falls, an Air Force spokeswoman, said in an email statement Wednesday.

“A notification will be published via Federal Register if the DAF decides to restart the action or ultimately cancel the Environmental Assessment,” she said.

Falls was unable to provide a reason for the expanded site search during a phone interview Wednesday.

The environmental assessment would have evaluated the impact of construction and operation of two landing pads at Johnston Atoll for up to 10 re-entry landings per year over four consecutive years.
