BOOM! President Trump Opens 100 Day Rally with FIRE After EXPLOSIVE Entrance, Touts Border Security, Economy, and Destruction of Wokeness – “WE’RE SAVING THE AMERICAN DREAM” (VIDEO)

President Trump
takes the stage at 100-day celebration rally in Warren, Michigan
President Trump walked out to a raging crowd at his second post-inauguration rally in Warren, Michigan on Tuesday to commemorate his first 100 days in office.
The massive crowd went wild as he walked out to a stage lined with banners that read “THE GOLDEN AGE.” Trump was unable to begin his speech as the crowd began chanting, “USA, USA, USA!”
WATCH:
President Trump opened the rally with a nod to the Michigan auto workers, announcing that the car manufacturers are coming back to Michigan and crediting his tax and tariff policy. “They’re coming from all over the world. They’re coming up, and they’re opening up plants, and they’re talking to us all day and all night. They want to get here, and they’re coming in at levels you’ve never seen before,” the President said. “And I want to thank the auto workers for your support. That was great,” he continued as the crowd roared with excitement.
He also declared that he won Michigan “three times” in defiance of the election-rigging Democrats.
The President declared that he had “the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country,” adding, “We’ve just gotten started. You haven’t even seen anything yet.” He then laid out his accomplishments, including a secure border, job growth, and restoring the rule of law, which he said was “sort of out the window with this crazy guy we had.” He jabbed Biden, asking, “How the hell did that guy ever become president? Could somebody explain it to me? How the hell did that happen?”
“We’re ending the inflation nightmare, the worst that we’ve had probably in the history of our country, getting woke lunacy and transgender insanity the hell out of our government. We’re stopping the indoctrination of our children, slashing billions and billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse, and above all, we’re saving the American dream. We’re making America great again, and it’s happening fast,” he continued.
Trump then urged Congress to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill” to secure “the greatest tax cut in history.”
WATCH:
Trump: We love you, Michigan. We love you. We just had the biggest victory in Michigan. They said, “Sir, it’s going to be hard.” Well, we won it twice. We actually won it three times. You want to really know? But I’m thrilled to be back in this beautiful state. I love this state. And a lot of auto jobs coming. Watch what’s happening. The companies are coming in by the, by the 10s. You got to see what’s happening. They all want to come back to Michigan and build cars again. You know why? Because of our tax and tariff policy. They’re coming from all over the world. They’re coming up, and they’re opening up plants, and they’re talking to us all day and all night. They want to get here, and they’re coming in at levels you’ve never seen before. And I want to thank the auto workers for your support. That was great.
But I’m thrilled to be back in this beautiful state with thousands of proud, hard-working American patriots, and we’re here tonight in the heartland of our nation to celebrate the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country. And that’s, according to many, many people. This is the best, they say, 100-day start of any president in history, and everyone is saying it. We’ve just gotten started. You haven’t even seen anything yet. It’s all just kicking. And week by week, we’re ending illegal immigration, we’re taking back our jobs, and protecting our great American auto workers and all of our workers, frankly. We’re protecting all of our workers. We’re restoring the rule of law, which was sort of out the window with this crazy guy we had. How the hell did that guy ever become president? Could somebody explain it to me? How the hell did that happen?
We’re ending the inflation nightmare, the worst that we’ve had probably in the history of our country, getting woke lunacy and transgender insanity the hell out of our government. We’re stopping the indoctrination of our children, slashing billions and billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse, and above all, we’re saving the American dream. We’re making America great again, and it’s happening fast. What the world has witnessed in the past 14 weeks is a revolution of common sense. That’s all it is really. We’re conservative. You’re conservative, you’re liberal, whatever the hell— you know what it’s all about? It’s about common sense, when you think about it. We’re for common sense. We like strong borders, we like good education, we like low interest rates, we like being able to buy a beautiful car and, now, deduct the interest on the loan. That’s never happened before.
We want a strong military. We want low taxes. You know, the Democrats, they campaign on, we will raise your taxes. It’s the first time. You know, I haven’t been doing this that long, actually, compared to a lot of people. They’ve been doing it for a long time. They say, “you became president. I can’t get out of Congress,” and some of them can’t even get into Congress. But, you know, I haven’t been doing it that long, but all my life, I’ve been watching, and I’ve never heard people campaigning that they’re going to raise taxes. It’s always been, “we will reduce your taxes,“ Democrat and Republican. Now, they go, we’re going to raise your taxes. If our bill doesn’t pass, the Republicans, we have 100% just about Republican support, but it would be nice if we had just a couple of Democrats, just to make sure, because, you know, every once in a while you have a grandstander Republican. We have some grandstanders, but every once in a while— not many, not many, but remember who those grandstanders were and vote them the hell out of office. Okay, will you do that? Vote ’em out of office, you know, they do it a morally— they’re morally bound. You know what the answer is? If you don’t get it, you’re going to have the highest tax increase in history, instead of the greatest tax cut in history. If the Democrats prevail on this bill, you get a 58% tax increase. Would you like that? These are the Democrats.

GOP Senator John Thune Quietly BLOCKS Trump Recess Appointments with Sneaky Procedural Maneuver — Launches Series of Pro Forma Sessions to Keep Senate in Fake “Session” During August Recess

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R‑SD) has unveiled a procedural scheme to block President Donald Trump from making any critical appointments during the August recess, effectively aiding the Democrats’ obstructionist agenda.
Under the U.S. Constitution, the president can make “recess appointments,” temporary appointments to federal positions, if the Senate is in recess and not conducting business. These appointments don’t require immediate Senate confirmation and can last until the end of the next session of Congress.
But there’s a loophole: if the Senate holds pro forma sessions, very short, symbolic meetings where no actual business is conducted, then technically, the Senate is still in session. That means the president cannot legally make recess appointments during that time.
John Thune has quietly secured unanimous‑consent for a paper‑thin Senate schedule through the Trump appointee confirmation deadline, ensuring only pro forma sessions on five key dates in early August.
Under the agreement, the chamber will adjourn after today’s business and reconvene without conducting any votes or business on:
- Tue, Aug 5 – 1:00 p.m.
- Fri, Aug 8 – 1:05 p.m.
- Tue, Aug 12 – 8:00 a.m.
- Fri, Aug 15 – 10:15 a.m.
- Tue, Aug 19 – 10:00 a.m.
- Fri, Aug 22 – 9:00 a.m.
- Tue, Aug 26 – 12:00 p.m.
- Fri, Aug 29 – 7:00 a.m.

BREAKING: John Thune just announced he will be BLOCKING President Trump from making appointments after he recesses the Senate tonight, via pro-forma sessions
WHAT A LOSER.

Thune’s pro forma blueprint comes amid mounting pressure from Donald Trump, who has demanded the Senate remain open until all 150+ administration nominees are confirmed.
Under the Recess Appointments Clause, a president may only install nominees without Senate approval if both chambers are in formal recess for at least 10 days. By convening the Senate just long enough every few days, Thune blocks the possibility of Trump making unilateral appointees.
The Senate went into its August recess without confirming all of Trump’s pending judicial and district‑level appointments.
By the time lawmakers left town on Saturday evening, no deal had been reached to move dozens of Trump’s nominees, including U.S. district court picks, through final floor votes.
Only a small handful of nominees (such as Jeanine Pirro to be U.S. Attorney in D.C.) had advanced. Otherwise, nominees remained stalled in committees or waiting for cloture roll‑calls on the executive calendar.
Roughly 150–160 executive and judicial nominations, including over a dozen district court judges and U.S. attorney nominations, remained scheduled but unconfirmed.

‘That’s What I Call Results!’: Trump Admin Saves Jobs, Kicks 1500 Non-English-Speaking Truckers Off the Road

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy revealed that there have been about 1,500 truck drivers who do not speak English taken off the roads as part of a push to ensure foreign truck drivers are not causing accidents.
Back in 2016, the Obama administration stopped enforcing English proficiency requirements for truckers, according to a report from The Daily Signal.
But in May, Duffy issued a guidance making clear that truck drivers who cannot demonstrate a proficiency in English cannot drive.
The 1,500 drivers were taken off the roads within the first 3o days of the rules once more being enforced, according to The Daily Signal.
“Since I took action to enforce language proficiency requirements for truckers, our state partners have put roughly 1,500 unqualified drivers out of service. That’s what I call results!” Duffy posted on X.
“If you can’t read or speak our national language — ENGLISH — we won’t let your truck endanger the driving public.”
He added, “America First = Safety First.”
Since I took action to enforce language proficiency requirements for truckers, our state partners have put roughly 1,500 unqualified drivers out of service. That’s what I call results!
If you can’t read or speak our national language — ENGLISH — we won’t let your truck endanger… https://t.co/TKPcn60ic2
— Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) July 30, 2025
Duffy’s concerns were far from unfounded.
In January, there was a truck driver involved in a fatal crash that had to use a language interpreter for the post-crash investigation, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Another incident from 2019 involved a truck driver who could not proficiently speak English speeding through signs that warned of steep grades and dangerous curves, all at more than 100 miles per hour.
Four people died in that crash, per the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
President Donald Trump had likewise insisted with an April executive order that the move centered on public safety.
“They should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station officers,” the order said of truck drivers.
They also “need to provide feedback to their employers and customers and receive related directions in English,” a position the order called “common sense.”
“It is the policy of my Administration to support America’s truckers and safeguard our roadways by enforcing the commonsense English-language requirement for commercial motor vehicle drivers and removing needless regulatory burdens that undermine the working conditions of America’s truck drivers,” the notice added.
“This order will help ensure a safe, secure, and efficient motor carrier industry.”

Slovenia Imposes Arms Embargo on Israel, Citing Gaza Conflict

via Wikimedia Commons
Slovenia has imposed an arms embargo on Israel, banning the export, import, and transit of weapons to and from the country.
This decision was announced by Prime Minister Robert Golob following a government session on July 31, 2025.
Slovenia claims to be the first European Union member to take such a step, citing the EU’s inability to act due to internal disagreements.
The government stated that no permits for military exports to Israel have been issued since October 2023, when the conflict in Gaza began.
Officials emphasized that the embargo is an independent measure to address the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Slovenia has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and increased aid deliveries to the region.
In early July 2025, Slovenia declared two Israeli ministers, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, persona non grata, barring them from entry.
This action was based on their public statements regarding the conflict. Earlier, in June 2024, Slovenia recognized Palestinian statehood, joining countries like Ireland, Norway, and Spain in this move.
The conflict in Gaza started after the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israeli territory, which resulted in over 1,200 deaths and the taking of hostages.
Israel responded with a military operation aimed at dismantling Hamas infrastructure. Reports from Gaza’s health ministry indicate significant casualties, with ongoing international efforts to negotiate truces and provide aid.
Several other nations have taken similar diplomatic steps, including France, Britain, and Canada announcing potential recognition of a Palestinian state. Australia has also indicated that recognizing Palestinian statehood is under consideration.
Israel has criticized these declarations, arguing they could reward Hamas for its actions.
Israeli officials dismissed Slovenia’s embargo as insignificant, noting that Israel does not procure any defense materials from Slovenia.
An unnamed official stated that the country buys nothing from Slovenia, not even minor items.
Within the EU, there is growing pressure for measures against Israel, with Sweden and the Netherlands advocating for suspending parts of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The European Commission has proposed limiting Israel’s participation in the Horizon research program, though Germany opposes such steps.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul expressed concerns about Israel’s potential diplomatic isolation during a visit to Jerusalem.
The United States remains a key ally to Israel, with President Donald Trump warning that recognizing Palestinian statehood might benefit Hamas.
U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff recently met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to advance Gaza truce talks. These efforts aim to address the humanitarian crisis and secure a ceasefire.
