Trump Opens Door to Improved Relations With Iran
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he hopes Washington will maintain friendly relations with Tehran if he returns to the White House.
He made the remarks on Thursday while speaking at a press conference in New Jersey about his plan to restore world peace.
“I’m not looking to be bad to Iran, we’re going to be friendly, I hope … maybe, but maybe not,” Trump said, after accusing Tehran of funding the Palestinian militant group Hamas. “But they can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump stressed.
The US withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) in 2018 during the first term served by Trump, who at the time dubbed the agreement “the worst deal ever.”
The Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action, which in 2015 was signed by Iran, China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK, and the US administration of President Barack Obama, envisaged Tehran scaling down its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of international restrictions on it.
Then Washington’s denouncement of the landmark agreement prompted Iran to renege on some of its JCPOA commitments and return to enriching uranium.
Earlier this week, Trump’s campaign team claimed that Iranian cybercriminals have stolen internal US documents, their goal being influencing the 2024 election. A previous cyber-intelligence report by Microsoft had warned that hackers and fake-news sites allegedly linked to Iran could be targeting an unidentified official related to a US presidential campaign.
Trump later posted on his Truth Social platform that he believed Iran was behind the attack, writing “We were just informed by Microsoft Corporation that one of our many websites was hacked by the Iranian Government – Never a nice thing to do!”
Iran’s permanent mission to the UN has denied the Trump campaign’s allegations, in a statement to Reuters, writing that “the Iranian government neither possesses [the documents alleged] nor harbors any intent or motive to interfere in the United States Presidential election.”

Tiny Village in Ireland Overrun by Government-Relocated Migrants
The ‘Great Replacement’ comes to Ireland? Public concerns surrounding government supported open immigration plans in the UK have been consistently treated as “xenophobic” and “overblown” by the media and authorities alike.
The typical M.O. of politicians has been to ignore all scrutiny and attack anyone that dares to question the agenda.
Reports that migrant relocation programs were going to flood rural Irish locations with foreign elements raised eyebrows (and raised questions) last month as to the purpose of transplanting the third-world into outlying villages in the UK. These same villages have been demographically unchanged for centuries.
The theory, which holds considerable validity, is that western countries are being destabilized from within by corrupt progressive leaders with the intent to upend traditional western society and replace it with a self-devouring multicultural soup that is easier to convert to globalism. Rural areas of the west are commonly viewed as safe havens away from the corrosive politics of woke socialism, and the targeting of these places seems to verify everyone’s worst fears about open borders.
This brings us to the tiny hamlet of Tipperary in Ireland (population 165), where the Gardaí assisted Department of Integration had used a manor property called the Dundrum House Hotel to bring hundreds of Ukrainian refugees into the country. Locals noted they had few problems with the Ukrainians because they seemed to easily integrate into the already existing community. However, now that the government has their foot in the door of the village, they have decided to move the Ukrainians out and replace them with third-world migrants with non-western value systems.
Because of numerous examples of rampant criminality and violence (from rape gangs to mass stabbings) brought by such migrants to major cities throughout Europe and the UK, locals worry that same ideology of dominance and exploitation will now take over their once quiet corner of Ireland. The fact that around 80% of these migrants are single military age men gives little comfort to the residents.
Protests have erupted in Tipperary after it was revealed that at least 265 migrants would be relocated there, greatly outnumbering the indigenous population.
?Dundrum, Tipperary.
This tiny Irish village of 200 people was forcibly planted this morning. 280 ‘asylum seekers’ are to be housed in this hotel, replacing the local population overnight.

Other more discreet and suspicious migrant compounds have been cited in rural areas of Ireland, protected by government security and housing only military age males from predominantly third-world and Islamic countries. The presence of these compounds reads more like a covert invasion rather than an attempt at integration.
Something very sinister is happening in Ireland.

Thousands of strange foreign men are being planted all around the country in sites which resemble military camps.

Keep in mind that a common argument made by UK officials is that these migrants are “needed” in order to fill gaps in the service sector labor market. Yet, rural regions like these have no demand for such labor because they rely predominantly on tourism. Why are these foreign men being sent to these places?
Locals report that when concerns are raised by the public the government will assert that only women and children and families will be transplanted to these centers, and most of them will be Ukrainians. But when the media cameras are gone and the protests die down, military age males from Africa and the Middle East are quietly dumped into the community by the hundreds (and strangely, many men from Caucusus nation of Georgia).
With a majority of UK citizens (69%) opposed to open immigration according to polls and riots erupting after migrant attacks, UK governments have doubled down on “diversity” and are refusing to take public opposition seriously. When patriot protests are organized, progressive NGOs with extensive resources bus in leftist activists to disrupt or silence them.
The transplantation of young migrant men has also proven to be a buffer for the government, as gangs of foreigners patrol the streets and attempt to intimidate locals into silence. The trade-off is clear: Leftist officials give migrants access to the bounty of the west, and migrants protect those officials from popular uprisings in return.
The last places for western citizens to go to for safety are rural enclaves, and even now those are being taken away.

Trump Brings in Tulsi To Prepare for Debate
Donald Trump has brought in Tulsi Gabbard, the woman credited with destroying Kamala Harris’s 2020 presidential campaign, to help him prepare from his debate with the Vice President next month.
According to The New York Times, the former Democrat Congresswoman was brought in “to help sharpen his attacks in a recent practice session at his private club and home, Mar-a-Lago.” The Times cites “two people with knowledge of Mr Trump’s schedule.”
A spokeswoman for the former president confirmed the appointment, saying that Trump has “proven to be one of the best debaters in political history as evidenced by his knockout blow to Joe Biden. He does not need traditional debate prep but will continue to meet with respected policy advisers and effective communicators like Tulsi Gabbard, who successfully dominated Kamala Harris on the debate stage in 2020.”
Gabbard is widely credited with ending Harris’s bid for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination during the 2019 CNN debate, when she calmly dissected the Vice President’s record as a public prosecutor in California.
Gabbard said that Harris “put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.”
She also accused Harris of withholding evidence that could have let an innocent man leave death row, until a court “forced her” to give it up.
Although Harris replied that she was “proud of making a decision to not just give fancy speeches, or be in a legislative body and give speeches on the floor, but actually doing the work,” she had no real answer to the charges laid before her by Gabbard. She dropped out of the race a month later.
On Friday, ABC revealed that the first debate will take place in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center on 10 September at 9pm EDT. It will be moderated by David Muir, who anchors World News Tonight, and Linsey Davis, a news anchor and correspondent. It will be available to watch on ABC, ABC News Live, Disney+ and Hulu.
The Harris campaign has dismissed calls from Donald Trump to hold more than two presidential debates, issuing a statement on Thursday that the “debate about debates is over.” Kamala Harris has indicated that she is prepared to debate Trump again after the vice-presidential debate, which is now scheduled for 1 October.
Trump has pushed repeatedly for there to be three presidential debates. On 8 August, he said that he had negotiated debates with ABC, NBC and Fox News. One of Trump’s advisors said that Trump will hold town halls if the Vice President rejects the additional debates.
The candidates for vice president, JD Vance and Tim Walz, are now also scheduled to meet. Their debate will take place on 1 October in New York City and will be hosted by CBS.
First No Tax on Tips, Now Child Tax Credits: Kamala Steals Another Policy
Kamala Harris has stolen another policy from the Trump-Vance campaign.
On Friday, Harris announced a new tax-credit policy for newborns just days after JD Vance suggested a near-identical expansion of child-tax credits.
The Vice President made the announcement at a campaign rally in North Carolina, on Friday. She said she would revive and extend a policy that was temporarily offered to parents in the 2021 tax year. Parents were offered a $3,600 tax credit for each child.
Harris said the 2021 rules ensured “millions of Americans with children got to keep more of their hard-earned income.”
“We know this works and has an impact on so many issues, including child poverty,” she added.
On Twitter, Ryan Girdusky blasted Harris for stealing Vance’s policy, and the mainstream media for giving her an easy ride.
He contrasted Vance’s treatment when he announced his tax-credit policy—“He’s working against childless Americans”—with the media’s fawning treatment of Harris when she announced the same policy.
Elon Musk commented on the post: “This is getting weird (lol).”
Last week, Donald Trump Jr. coined a new slogan for the Harris-Walz campaign: “Stolen proposals and stolen valor.”
After Harris stole Trump’s “no taxes for tips” policy, the former president predicted that it would not be the last policy the Vice President stole.
“How long will it be before Kamala Harris comes out with another ‘TRUMP’ policy like, ‘No Taxes will be paid by our Senior Citizens on Social Security?’ She’s looking really bad now! Everyone is waiting to see what idea, or policy of mine, she will copy next.”
“I Will Snatch Their Patent”: Harris Threatens To Confiscate Private Property
Video has resurfaced from late 2019 of Kamala Harris threatening to “snatch” corporate patents.
At the time the video was recorded, the Vice President was still in the presidential race. She was speaking at a campaign event in Muscatine, Iowa, on 22 November 2019.
“I will snatch their patent, so that we [i.e. the government] will take over,” Harris says in the clip.
“Yes, we can do that! The question is, do you have the will to do it? I have the will to do it!”
? WOW! Kamala Harris is literally threatening to unilaterally CONFISCATE citizens’ and businesses’ private property

“I will snatch their patent, so that we [the government] will take over. Yes we can do that!”
THIS IS WHAT LITERAL DICTATORS DO.
Comrade Kamala wants to turn… pic.twitter.com/fWOmXn4Teg
It’s unclear exactly what the context of her statement was, but the implications were clear enough to viewers.
“THIS IS WHAT LITERAL DICTATORS DO. Comrade Kamala wants to turn America into a communist hellhole, and she’s OPEN about it. This should terrify EVERYONE!” tweeted Nick Sortor, who posted the clip.
“Kamala Harris’ threat to confiscate patents is a chilling glimpse into her radical agenda,” Tweeted another user. “The government taking over intellectual property is a direct assault on innovation and individual rights. Are we really ready to let bureaucrats dictate the future of our economy?”
Kamala Harris recently announced that she would introduced price controls to curb inflation, a proposal that has rattled many of her own supporters, including media outlets like The Washington Post.
“When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t introduce price controls,” was the headline of an opinion piece that ran on the Post’s website on Friday.
“It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is,” wrote Catherine Rampell.
“It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels. Far-off Washington bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk.
“At best, this would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding, among other distortions seen previous times countries tried to limit price growth by fiat. (There’s a reason narrower “price gouging” laws that exist in some U.S. states are rarely invoked.) At worst, it might accidentally raise prices.”
Investigation Launched into Walz’s Links with the CCP
An official investigation has been launched into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s links to the Chinese Communist Party.
James Comer, who leads the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, announced the investigation on Friday with a press release and a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
“The CCP has sought to destroy the United States through coordinated influence and infiltration campaigns that target every aspect of American life, including our own elected officials,” Comer said in the press release.
“Americans should be deeply concerned that Governor Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential running mate, has a longstanding and cozy relationship with China. Mr. Walz has visited China dozens of times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders. FBI briefers recently informed the Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP activity that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz. The American people deserve to fully understand how deep Governor Walz’s relationship with China goes.”
The press release goes on to detail how Walz began organizing school trips to China, funded by the CCP, in the early 1990s, and then set up a private company which organized annual trips to China, until it was dissolved days before Walz entered Congress in 2007. Walz has visited China an estimated 30 times, and held various positions of influence with regard to US-China relations.
In his letter to FBI Director Wray, Comer asks for a variety of documents and information relating to Walz’s activities in and with regard to China, including about Chinese individuals and organizations and any warnings or guidance issued to Governor Walz about “subnational government officials engaging with the PRC, CCP, and the CCP’s proxies.”
In addition to questions about his longstanding ties to China and the CCP, Walz has faced scrutiny for his relationships with a radical pro-Hitler Muslim cleric in Minnesota and large amounts of funding provided by his administration to a Muslim group with links to Al Qaeda.
