Caitlin Clark finally lost it during the Indianapolis Fever game on Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun in Boston.
The greatest shooter in the game has been hampered this year by injuries, another worthless coach, a completely dysfunctional league, and referees who stand by idly as the leagues super-star is clobbered, pushed, assaulted, and pounded on in game after game.
On Tuesday night, Caitlin Clark had enough! In the second half, the Fever guard was seen talking to the ref during a break in play.
The ref, Michael Price, then said something to Clark that made her snap.
It’s bad enough that this league and these refs allow Clark to get hammered in game after game, but it was too much Clark to have them smart off to her.

Clark let the ref have it.
Then minutes later Caitlin Clark was re-injured at the end of the game after a Connecticut player aggressively guarded her and gave her a little shove.
Clark left the game crying.

Caitlin will likely miss the Allstar Game this weekend if she is re-injured. She left the game in tears.
Caitlin finally had enough.
Caitlin’s brother Colin later blamed the referees for her injury. They refuse to call fouls and allow Caitlin to be banged up and assaulted in game after game.

MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance is a former U.S. Attorney who was appointed by Obama. This week, she appeared on the network and implied that the violence we are seeing against ICE agents is justified.
Her argument is based on the fact that ICE agents are masked, which ignores the fact that these men and women are wearing masks to protect themselves and their families from the unhinged and radical left.
Does everyone remember how the liberal media constantly accused the Tea Party of being potentially violent, even though no violence ever materialized? Compare their rhetoric from back then to this attempt to justify the violence of the left.
ALI VELSHI: Joyce, let me ask you one thing….You’re a prosecutor, I want to ask you, there are legitimate reasons why some enforcement agencies, some police agencies, go undercover or, you know, do things in shadows to achieve certain things. I would assume that’s specific and, you, know, it needs to be, needs to comport with some laws.
JOYCE VANCE: Exactly. There are very serious legal restrictions around the use of, for instance, FBI agents as undercover operatives. Very strict rules regarding how it’s done, what they can do, what they can’t do. But you know what I’ve never seen a federal agent working a case due is pull a mask up so nobody knows who they are and go out and terrorize a civilian population.
And I think it’s important for us at this point to be very plain-speaking when we say that this is not normal, it’s not acceptable, and it’s a danger sign. You know, we are well past the point where we can just identify danger signs and say, oh, there might be problems down the road. The problems are here, they’re in the right now.
And as we see people being pulled off the streets — you know, the danger to law enforcement, quite frankly, is that when you’re masked like that and people don’t know who you are, someone might exercise their lawful right of self-defense to protect themselves, thinking they’re being kidnapped. So the notion that this is for law enforcement’s protection is utterly ludicrous. And we need to do away with that.

The left wants ICE unmasked so that their violent street thugs can go after them and perhaps even their families. There is no other explanation for their unmasking demands.
And so it happened that yesterday (14) US President Donald J. Trump took multiple steps that were widely perceived as against Russia and pro-Ukraine.
To begin with, Trump authorized $10 Billion in military aid for Ukraine in an ingenious formula: NATO (Europeans and Canada – but not the US) will pay for the American weapons.
At the same time, the US president threatened Moscow with harsh secondary sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not reach a peace settlement with Ukraine in 50 days.
[Ukrainian MPs and European officials have complained that Trump ‘gave Putin 50 days to conquer Ukraine’.]
In the runup to this announcement the USAID-media did what they do: published a story with ‘anonymous sources’ saying that during his phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump would have encouraged him to strike missiles deep into Russian territory – including on Moscow.
The Russian side refused to give credence to this report, and today (15) Trump was asked about it.
Trump responded that Zelensky should NOT target Moscow, and added that Putin ‘should agree to a ceasefire deal by a 50-day deadline or sanctions will kick in’.
“His comments came after The Financial Times, citing people briefed on discussions, reported on Tuesday that Trump had privately encouraged Ukraine to step up deep strikes on Russia.
The newspaper added that Trump asked Zelenskiy whether he could strike Moscow if the U.S. provided long-range weapons.
‘No, he shouldn’t target Moscow’, Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House when asked if Zelenskiy should attack the Russian capital.”

Whoppi Goldberg of The View went off today at Obama and Mark Cuban for their recent similar scolding of Democrats.
Obama is back out in the public square because he is trying to help the party with their massive cash flow problem. Mark Cuban is just trying to give them advice on how to win over the public.
Whoopi looks at recent crowds of protesters and believes Democrat voters are fully engaged. She is angry at Democrat leaders who she sees as weak, which is correct to a certain point.
She, like many people on the left, just doesn’t want to hear that what they are doing is not working.
Whoopi Goldberg, ‘View’ hosts lash out at Obama, Cuban for scolding Democrats
“The View” co-hosts clapped back at former President Obama and Mark Cuban’s recent criticisms of the Democratic Party on Tuesday, arguing that the voters have been doing the work and elected officials were to blame.
“So, let me remind everybody who is out in the front lines marching when we had the giant marches that went on, it was the people, the people went out,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. “They were not navel-gazing, it was older people saying, ‘why are you touching my Social Security?’ It was not people whining. It was about people saying, ‘why are you taking these rights from my child when my child was born here?’ This has not been about Democrats laying back. This has been about y’all, because their messaging was always the same.”
Goldberg was referring in part to Obama, who urged Democrats to “toughen up” on Friday at a political fundraiser, and said success would require a “little less navel-gazing.”
“And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said. “Don’t tell me you’re a Democrat, but you’re kind of disappointed right now, so you’re not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something.”

Protests and marches are not going to do anything to advance the Democrats. It’s just going to remind the public that they have no new ideas. This is what Whoopi and others don’t seem to understand.
Some leaders from higher education testified on Capitol Hill today and were grilled by Republicans about the ongoing issue of antisemitism on college campuses.
At one point, Republican Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah cornered the interim president of Georgetown University by asking him if the school would allow the KKK to speak on campus.
It’s a completely fair question. Burgess points out that the rhetoric coming from the ‘free Palestine’ mob is not any different.
[Rep. Burgess Owens] confronted Georgetown President Robert Groves with a simple, pointed question:
“Would you allow a member of the KKK who wished the deaths of Black Americans to speak at Georgetown?”
“No.”
Owens didn’t let up: “So if Georgetown would disallow white supremacist bigots, why does it allow Palestinian antisemitic bigots invited by faculty or students?”
Groves had no real answer—just vague talk about diverse viewpoints.
Watch the exchange below:
Burgess Owens Calls Out Georgetown’s Double Standard on Hate Speech@RepBurgessOwens confronted Georgetown President Robert Groves with a simple, pointed question:
“Would you allow a member of the KKK who wished the deaths of Black Americans to speak at Georgetown?”
Groves responds to reports of alleged antisemitism on Georgetown’s campus
In response to representatives’ questions, Groves cited several instances in which Georgetown enacted disciplinary actions against alleged antisemitic behavior. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) first pointed to a tweet that Georgetown Chair of Islamic Civilization Jonathan A.C. Brown published on his X page on June 22.
“I hope Iran does some symbolic strike on a base,” Brown wrote.
According to a university spokesperson, Georgetown has since removed Brown from his position as Chair of the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, though he retains the position of Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization in the SFS. Groves said that the university has placed him on leave awaiting further review.
This is one of the main reasons why higher education finds itself under fire right now. Leaders at many of these schools have allowed this hate to fester to the point where it got out of control. They should have stopped it in its tracks, but they failed.
A suspect is now in custody more than 24 hours after an American Idol executive and her husband were found brutally murdered in their Los Angeles mansion.
According to The Daily Mail, the suspect was identified as 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian.
Police believe Boodarian acted alone.
“Suspect in custody after “American Idol” executive and husband found brutally murdered in their Los Angeles mansion, source tells Fox News Digital,” Fox News reported.
BREAKING: Suspect in custody after “American Idol” executive and husband found brutally murdered in their Los Angeles mansion, source tells Fox News Digital.
Robin Kaye, a music producer on the hit show ‘American Idol’ and her husband Thomas Deluca were both shot in the head.
Los Angeles police arrived to the couple’s home for a welfare check on Monday afternoon and neighbors hadn’t seen them in four days.
Police saw blood at the entrance of the house and discovered Thomas Deluca with a gunshot wound to the head. Robin Kaye’s body was found in a separate room.
According to TMZ, the police were called to the couple’s home last week after a (possibly armed) suspect tried to gain entry to the house.
“[Cops] were previously called to the home Thursday … an unidentified suspect was seen trying to gain entry and may have been armed with a firearm. Neighbors say someone spotted a person hopping a fence and called police … officers responded but found no signs of forced entry and searched the property before leaving. Its unclear if this incident is related to the homicides,” TMZ reported.
A suspect has been arrested after an American Idol executive and her husband were found dead inside their $5million Los Angeles mansion.
Police arrested 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian on Tuesday following the grisly discovery of award winning music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70, on Monday afternoon.
Boodarian is not believed to have had any relationship with his alleged victims.
Police allege he was burglarizing the home on July 10 when the couple unexpectedly arrived home.
CCTV footage allegedly shows Boodarian entering the home about 30 minutes before the couple got home. He did not force entry, and instead found an open way to get inside.
He allegedly shot them both dead during a struggle when they caught him in the act. Police believe it was an isolated event, and that Boodarian acted alone.
Two calls were made to the LAPD about a possible burglary on the day of the couple’s deaths, but when officers responded they were unable to get inside because the home is ‘highly fortified’, ABC7 reported.
President Trump spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews on Tuesday following his Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation event and responded to another question about Epstein, saying he doesn’t understand why his supporters care so much.
“Don’t forget, we went through years of the Mueller Witch Hunt and all of the different things, the Steele dossier, which was all fake. All that information was fake,” he said.
“It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sorted, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.”
WATCH:
Reporter: I know you’ve urged people to move on, but I’m curious, why do you think your supporters, in particular, have been so interested in the Epstein story and so upset about how it’s been handled?
Trump: I don’t know why they would be so interested. He’s dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don’t understand what the interest or what the fascination is, I really don’t. And the credible information has been given. Don’t forget, we went through years of the Mueller Witch Hunt and all of the different things, the Steele dossier, which was all fake. All that information was fake.
But I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sorted, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going. But credible information, let them give it. Anything that’s credible, I would say, let them have it.
People want to know who the pedophiles Epstein associated with were and why they continue to walk free.
People want to know what extent the U.S. government or foreign governments were involved with Epstein and running a blackmail operation.
People want to know why Epstein reportedly visited the Oval Office when Clinton was President at least 17 times and what, if anything, Bill Clinton did to young girls.
People want to know why Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent accusers of Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, was found dead by suicide on Friday at her farm in Neergabby, Western Australia.
People want the truth about the bizarre circumstances surrounding Epstien’s alleged suicide.
Many close to the President, including Donald Trump Jr. and FBI Director Kash Patel, made the Epstein files a focal point of Trump’s reelection.
President Trump had even indicated while running for President that he would release the Epstein files, saying, “A lot of big people went to that island.”
People want to know who these “big people” are.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump made similar comments earlier in the day before leaving the White House en route to Pittsburgh, defending Pam Bondi and claiming that the Epstein files is just another hoax that was made up by former FBI Director James Comey, Obama, and Biden.
This, of course, all comes after Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Patel, in February, hosted a big Epstein file release for a select group of MAGA influencers, handing them white binders that turned out to have nothing new inside. Bondi later claimed that she was misled by FBI agents and that “thousands of pages of documents” were withheld from her office after the dumpster fire of a release.
Susan Collins: “The rescissions package has a big problem – nobody really knows what program reductions are in it. That isn’t because we haven’t had time to review the bill. … The problem is that OMB has never provided the details that would normally be part of this process.”
Republican senators will need Vice President JD Vance to advance President Donald Trump’s effort to claw back billions in funding.
GOP Sens. Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have all voted against moving the rescissions package out of committee. The procedural vote is still open but with all Democrats expected to also vote “no” it will dead lock in a tie, necessitating Vance’s engagement.
GOP senators had been told to expect Vance, though one lawmaker granted anonymity to share private converations said they were warned that it could be a while before he arrives.
The House of Representatives last month passed the measure which seeks to codify $9.4 billion in spending cuts. The Senate has until July 18 to pass the DOGE cuts and said it to President Trump’s desk for a signature.
Only 51 votes are needed in the Senate but the RINOs are once again stalling the passage of the measure.
The Infamous “Acheson Line,” which helped trigger the Korean War
In January 1950, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson articulated a controversial geographic line that placed the Korean Peninsula on the communist side of the early Cold War conceptual boundary. With the outcome of the South Korean election on June 3, this line may have reappeared.
After the official results were announced, the White House expressed concern about Chinese interference.
“The US-ROK Alliance remains ironclad. While South Korea had a free and fair election, the United States remains concerned and opposed to Chinese interference and influence in democracies around the world,” a White House official said in response to an emailed question from Reuters about the outcome of the South Korean presidential election.
The unusual caveat of concern over Chinese interference brought sharp responses in Korean media.
Despite large and frequent rallies in South Korea by conservatives and populists for the People Power candidate Kim Moon-soo, the Democrat Party candidate Lee Jae-myung won. It took me some work to find the Lee Jae-myung rallies.
Rallies are not the only measurement of energy, but they are noticeable.
Watching the election returns from the Myul Gong Bahn Jeom (Anti-Communist Restaurant) in southern Seoul along with several Americans and South Koreans, one thing was noticed. The initial results released in South Korean media were “exit polling,” a political metric tool that has subsided in use in the United States.
One report on exit polling is titled “Exit Polls: A Tool for Propaganda, Narrative Building, and the Normalisation of Electoral Doubts,” which is what the initial exit polling in South Korea appeared to be. With one of the final screenshots of exit polling showing Lee winning 52 percent to 39 percent, much of the international media ran with the exit polls and announced Lee the decisive winner. Within about an hour of the last exit polling, South Korean media announced that actual counting of the ballots had begun.
The final official results showed 48 percent to 42 percent, a much closer 6 percent spread.
Former U.S. Ambassador Morse Tan speaks to a Stop the Steal Rally in South Korea, July 2025
New President Favors Withdrawal of US Forces From Korea
Lee said in his inaugural speech that he would bolster U.S.–Japan ties. Lee’s remark was a bit orthogonal from his past comments and behavior. In the past, he has referred to the U.S. military presence in South Korea as an “occupation force.”
In an article for the East Asia Research Center, Tara O, a retired Air Force officer and noted Korean Peninsula expert, had this to say about Lee: “Lee Jae-myung also has made anti-U.S. statements, casting the U.S. in a negative light calling the U.S. an occupation force, when he said ‘In fact, the pro-Japanese faction (Koreans), whom the U.S. was not able to liquidate, joined with the U.S. occupation forces, retaining the control system, didn’t they?’ at the Yi Yuk-sa Cultural Center on July 1, 2021.”
The withdrawal of U.S. forces and the ending of the long-standing U.S.–South Korea alliance has been the goal of left-leaning thought in the country.
When I was in South Korea during the presidential election, there arose a rare opportunity to meet with a senior-ranking North Korean defector, Kim Kuk-song. When I asked Kim which candidate was preferred by North Korea and China, he said it was likely Lee Jae-myung, so it would be easier to have the United States expelled from the Korean Peninsula.

Burgeoning Tripartite Alliance Now on Shaky Ground
Former President Yoon Suk-Yeol set aside long-standing grievances between Korea and Japan lingering from World War II and sought a much stronger three-way relationship with Japan and the United States in a coordinated, trilateral military arrangement.
Despite years of a U.S. military presence in South Korea and Japan since the end of the war, in June 2024, the first-ever trilateral military exercise was held. The exercise, called “Freedom Edge,” was multi-domain, meaning air, sea, land, space, and cyber domains were included in the game play.
The exercise significantly rattled North Korea and China. O wrote: “Lee met with the then-Chinese Ambassador to South Korea, Xing Haiming, displaying notable deference. When Xing issued a thinly veiled threat, warning that South Korea would ’regret betting on China’s defeat’ in response to the Yoon administration’s pro-Western foreign policy, Lee offered no rebuttal.”
The South China Morning Post reported that Lee said U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) could play a “critical role for the United States policy of containment against China.”
When read carefully, the operative part of Lee’s view is that the U.S. military and the tripartite arrangement were “for the United States”—while Lee didn’t include South Korea as benefiting from this arrangement.
Need for a Permanent US Ambassador
One of the most exasperating matters during the South Korean 60-day “snap” election process was the absence of a Trump-nominated ambassador in place in South Korea.
The outgoing secretary of state, Tony Blinken, announced on Jan. 10 that Ambassador Joseph Yun had been appointed Chargé d’Affaires, ad interim, at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul.
Previously, Yun had “retired” from the State Department in 2018 in what was characterized as dissatisfaction with U.S. President Donald Trump’s leadership in his first term. Yun returned to service in 2022 during the Biden administration.
A confirmed ambassador is critical to providing direct and clear articulation of the policies and positions of the U.S. president.
The South Korean crisis since December has been one of the most tumultuous in the history of the country, and there has been very little input from the United States despite a massive call for Trump’s support from many influential South Korean personalities on social media.
Hopefully action will be taken soon. If not, Lee’s track record and American indifference may inadvertently reestablish Acheson’s 1950 folly, with disastrous results.

Crowds on Demand CEO Adam Swart revealed in an interview this week that his company was offered a $20 million contract for an astroturfed nationwide anti-Trump demonstration scheduled for Thursday.
Crowds on Demand is the “largest protest company in the country,” Swart said, noting that they specialize in corporate publicity and celebrity publicity. “We’re probably best known for political advocacy group publicity, that is, creating crowds of peaceful, enthusiastic demonstrators to turn out in favor of a particular cause or in opposition to one.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, leftist groups have planned over 400 protests across the nation on the anniversary of the death of Democrat activist and congressman John Lewis.
Like many other recent nationwide days of protest, including the now-infamous “No Kings” day, the “Good Trouble Lives On” protests are being organized by the 50501 Movement.
An interactive map on the 50501 Movement website shows the locations of all the protests.
These types of demonstrations are known for using paid participants and agitators to stir up the crowds. As seen in Los Angeles, California, thousands of suspected paid rioters were present, and one individual was indicted on federal charges for delivering bionic face shields to the rioters.
“Interests aligned with the organizers of the July 17 movement have approached us, and in fact, we rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million,” Swart revealed in an interview with NewsNation’s Brian Entin. Swart says he turned the contract down.
“I just don’t think it’s effective,” he said, adding that “it’s going to make us all look bad.” He cited Trump’s continued support despite the ongoing protests for the ineffectiveness of these movements. “This is the same old noise that has failed to land with the American people this last 6/7 months.
Swart told Entin that his company has a “large network of people” that they “compensate” for turning out to demonstrations.
Swart did not say who exactly offered him the $20 million to maintain the privacy of his clients, Entin said after he interviewed Swart.
Entin further reported, “he said he had some concern about violence based on what he’s seen in the past, but mostly he just doesn’t think that it’s productive or really making a difference, big picture, about how the country feels about President Trump. And he says he just didn’t want to get involved.”
During the interview, Swart noted that peaceful demonstrators could be lumped in with “a violent agitator throwing a molotov cocktail” and create a “very big problem” with police being unable to differentiate between protestors and rioters.
Entin: Have the organizers of the July 17 demonstrations approached you?
Swart: Interests aligned with the organizers of the July 17 movement have approached us, and in fact, we rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million.
Entin: $20 million?
Swart: Correct. I mean, this is a nationwide thing, right? It’s not to say I would have made $20 million personally, but the value of the contract would have been worth around that amount, nationwide, to organize huge demonstrations around the country, but personally, I just don’t think it’s effective. So, I’m not trying to call myself virtuous for rejecting it. What I’m saying is, I’m saying I’m rejecting it, not because I don’t want to take the business, but because, frankly, this is going to be ineffective. It’s going to make us all look bad.
