On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order (EO) signalling his administration’s prioritization of the nation’s veterans rather than illegals.

The EO will redirect funds from housing for illegals to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence.  The Center will be located on the Veterans Affairs campus in West Los Angeles.

A Trump administration official told Fox News, “The new National Center for Warrior Independence will help them and other veterans like them rebuild their lives.”

The initiative will focus and providing shelter, healthcare, and job training to veterans in need and will partner with private organizations to expand support and resources.

Per Fox News:

The center will allow veterans from around the nation to seek and receive care, benefits and services “to which they are entitled,” the White House said.

The order redirects funds previously spent on housing or other services for illegal aliens to constructing, establishing and maintaining the new center.

“The Center will promote self-sufficiency through housing, substance abuse treatment, and support for productive work for the veterans housed there,” the White House explained.

According to the White House, the goal is to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans at the center by 2028.

In addition, the order directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to use vouchers to support homeless veterans.

The order also has specific directives for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to “restore accountability” and take action against individuals who have committed misconduct.

Further, it directs the VA to investigate and rectify the Biden administration’s decision to “rehire and reinstate back pay for employees previously fired for misconduct” during President Trump’s first term.

According to an investigation by America First Policy Institute of the 4,000 disgraced former VA employees terminated, the Biden-Harris Administration offered reinstatement and paid over $134 million in back pay to more than 1,700 individuals.

“The Biden-Harris Administration has let down American veterans and taxpayers. Those fired for mistreating American veterans should not even be allowed near the VA, much less reinstated,” said Former Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Distinguished Fellow of AFPI’s Center for American Security Robert Wilkie. “Instead of litigating these baseless grievances or working with Congress to strengthen the Accountability Act, the Biden-Harris Administration surrendered to the government employee union. Taxpayers and veterans who receive care from poor performers will pay the price.”

Former AOC Campaign Organizer Arrested Over Terror Threats Against Jewish High School

A former campaign organizer for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been charged over alleged terror threats she made against a Jewish high school.

Iman Abdul, who previously worked as a youth organizer for AOC, was arrested on Friday for allegedly urging her 25,000 social media followers to “attack” the Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences in Manhattan Beach.

“If anyone needs a public school in NYC to attack for whatever reason … Lexus driving Israhell (sic) loving Zionisits (sic) all attend here,” she wrote in a social media post, which has since been deleted.

“They’ve all gone on ‘Birthright,’” she added added, referencing a program that provides free 10-day trips to Israel for young Jews.

The post in question showed the location of the school on Google Maps so that her followers could locate it.

According to The New York Post, officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD) took Abdul into custody at her Brooklyn residence on Friday.

She was later charged with making her making terror threats, aggravated harassment, threatening mass harm, and endangering the welfare of children

In the summer of 2018, she was involved in the Democratic primary campaigns of progressive figures Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and state Senator Julia Salazar, even serving as a paid canvasser for Salazar.

Abdul’s post was first flagged by the online campaign group StopAntisemitsm, who said she should be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

She later messaged the group directly, where she denied having made physical threats of violence.

“I never called for an attack on the school in the sense of mass organization or not even individual people attacking individuals, that’s literally stupid,” she wrote.

“I called for an attack on the school, the Zionist institution funded by our public dollars … we have every right to verbally attack the school.”

She has since deleted all her social media accounts and is expected in court at a later date.

Jimmy Kimmel Blames ‘Repulsive’ Liberal Activists For Trump’s Return to Power (VIDEO)

Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel has blamed “repulsive” liberal activists for enabling President Donald Trump’s return to power.

During an appearance on the Sarah Silverman Podcast on Thursday, Kimmel said without a shred of irony that “loud voices” had scared people away from the Democratic Party.

“I’s not the party. It’s not the majority,” Kimmel insisted. “ It’s the loud voices that scare people from saying what they believe and make you think twice about a joke or whatever.”

“You know, a lot of their points are valid, but a lot of them are also just repulsive, in that they repel people,” he continued.

“They go like, ‘Oh, you’re no fun. I don’t want to be around you.’ And I think that if you had to boil it down to one thing, that’s kind of what it is.”

It is not the first time that Kimmel, who is himself a committed left-wing activist, has accused humorless liberals of costing the Democrats the 2024 election.

“I think a lot of the outrage is completely manufactured, and it’s like, a lot of these people who are angry aren’t really angry,” Kimmel said back in April.

”I think these liberals who’ve done such a good job of viciously attacking comedians are a big part of the reason why Trump is the president right now.”

So Close, Yet So Far: Jimmy Kimmel Actually Nails 1 Reason Trump’s Winning

Following Trump’s victory last November, Kimmel choked up on air as he moaned about the “hard-working immigrants” who might be deported under the administration.

Last month, Kimmel had a social media meltdown after his fellow late-night comedian Stephen Colbert was canned by CBS.

“Love you, Stephen. Fuck you and all your Sheldons CBS,” he wrote at the time.

President Trump, meanwhile, warned that Kimmel may well be next on the chopping block.

“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired,” Trump wrote after hearing the news of Colbert’s firing. “His talent was even less than his ratings.”

“I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!” he continued.

UK’s Lammy and US Vice-President Vance will host the European and Ukrainian ‘allies’ for a meeting today.

As we have reported previously, Vice President JD Vance’s holiday in the UK is actually filled with relevant work pushing President Donald J. Trump’s foreign policy.

Today, a meeting of National Security Advisers from the US, UK, as well as European ‘allies’ and Ukrainians, is being held, hosted by Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Vance.

The meeting is taking place at Chevening, Secretary Lammy’s ‘official country residence’ in Kent where Vance is staying during his days in the UK.

Daily Mail reported:

“The aim of the meeting is to bring together advisors from the US, Europe and Ukraine – it is understood to have been requested by the US.

A Downing Street spokesperson said that Keir Starmer and Volodymyr Zelensky agreed the meeting would be a ‘vital forum to discuss progress towards securing a just and lasting peace’.

‘Both leaders welcomed President Trump’s desire to bring this barbaric war to an end and agreed that we must keep up the pressure on Putin to end his illegal war,’ the spokesperson added.”

This meeting follows the news that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a peace summit in Alaska on August 15.

“’The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,’ Trump wrote. ‘Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’”

This stay by Vance highlights that Foreign Secretary Lammy has somehow managed to become closer to the Trump administration, having previously called the president a ‘Neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath’.
