President Trump is not letting a busy trip to Scotland stop him from showcasing his sense of humor, even while tough trade negotiations are ongoing.

As TGP readers know, Trump has been visiting Scotland to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and to work on clinching a massive trade deal with the European Union.

He also enjoys a little downtime playing golf in the UK constituent country, where he owns two courses.

On Sunday, Trump met with globalist EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen at his golf club in Turnberry to talk about the potential EU-US trade deal. The talks follow Trump’s warning to Von der Leyen that he would raise tariffs on most EU goods to 30% if no deal were done by Aug. 1.

While they discussed business in front of reporters, she got a little taste of Trump’s trolling and natural connection with an audience.

“You’re known as a tough negotiator and dealmaker,” Von Der Leyen begins to say before Trump interjects.

“And fair,” Trump says, which causes the room to chuckle.

“And fair,” she responds.

“That’s less important,” Trump quips.

The room then cracks up again in response.

A deal was later reached that put America in the driver’s seat. Von Der Leyen probably now realizes that Trump eventually gets his what he wants one way or another.

Hillary Clinton and two Deep State goons are about to receive some terrible news within the next several days that could result in their loss of freedom.

Paul Sperry from Real Clear Investigations reveals that more bad news is in store for Clinton. The CIA and DOJ are working together to declassify for release damning information that Comey’s FBI accelerated Hillary’s sinister plan to frame Trump as a Russian lackey.

And Clinton is not alone. Comey and Brennan are also in jeopardy for their roles.

The release will likely happen at some point next week.

From Sperry:

CIA’s been working w DOJ to declassify for release–likely this week–explosive new info from long-class. Appendix to Durham Report showing FBI accelerated plan by Hillary to frame Trump as a Russian traitor. Underlying intel puts Brennan, Comey, Hillary in perjury jeopardy

CIA Director John Ratcliffe also confirmed in an interview today that more evidence on Hillary was about to drop.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft previously reported that Gabbard released her second batch of previously undisclosed documents on Wednesday morning. These documents include more proof that Barack Obama directly gave the order to publish the Russia Collusion hoax, knowing there was no proof to back it up.

Page three of this latest document drop shows that then-President Obama ordered the release of documents, knowing there was no evidence to back them up. Obama didn’t just know about the Russia hoax – he directed it. All to delegitimize Trump’s historic win.

Several deep state hacks affiliated with Obama also helped push the Russia Hoax, including Brennan and Clapper. The latter is so worried that he has already lawyered up.

And let’s not forget that Clinton directly coordinated with the Obama White House to launch the hoax. All because of her hatred for Trump.

On Wednesday, the Department of Education announced an investigation into multiple universities suspected of giving scholarships to illegals.

Five universities are facing investigation, including the University of Michigan, Western Michigan University, the University of Louisville, the University of Nebraska Omaha, and the University of Miami following civil rights complaints alleging the schools are illegally discriminating based on national origin to provide scholarships for students in the country illegally.

Legal Insurrection reports:

The Equal Protection Project (EqualProtect.org), which has filed legal challenges to DEI discrimination covering over almost 500 discriminatory programs and scholarships, recently filed five Civil Rights Complaints with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education regarding scholarships that are open only to DACA-eligible or ‘undocumented’ students. Such scholarships by definition allow only student born abroad to apply, since DACA does not apply to American-born students, who also are not ‘undocumented.’ This constitutes discrimination on the basis of national origin, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1963.

It’s important to note that we have not challenged whether DACA/Undocumented students can apply for scholarships, that’s a separate issue. The issue in our complaints is whether schools that receive federal funding and therefore are subject to the Civil Rights Act can promote and administer scholarships that exclude American-born students.

You can read more details here about three of these DACA/Undocumented legal challenges, which were among several types of discrimination challenged at these schools.

The Department of Education announced the investigation in a press release:

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has opened national origin discrimination investigations into the University of Louisville, the University of Nebraska Omaha, the University of Miami, the University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University. The investigations will determine whether these universities are granting scholarships only for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or “undocumented” students, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s (Title VI) prohibition against national origin discrimination.

These investigations are based on complaints submitted to OCR by the Legal Insurrection Foundation’s Equal Protection Project, which seeks to ensure equal protection under the law and non-discrimination by the government in any form.

“On January 20, 2025, President Trump promised that ‘every single day of the Trump Administration, [he] will, very simply, put America first.’ Neither the Trump Administration’s America first policies nor the Civil Right Act of 1964’s prohibition on national origin discrimination permit universities to deny our fellow citizens the opportunity to compete for scholarships because they were born in the United States,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor. “As we mark President Trump’s historic six months back in the White House, we are expanding our enforcement efforts to protect American students and lawful residents from invidious national origin discrimination of the kind alleged here.”

“Protecting equal access to education includes protecting the rights of American-born students. At the Equal Protection Project, we are gratified that the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is acting on our complaints regarding scholarships that excluded American-born students,” said William A. Jacobson, founder of the Equal Protection Project. “Discrimination against American-born students must not be tolerated.”

The investigations also will examine additional scholarships that appear to exclude students based on other aspects of Title VI, including race and color.

Background

According to the complaints, the following scholarships allegedly provide unlawful exclusionary funding based on national origin:

• University of Louisville’s Sagar Patagundi Scholarship to “subsidize the cost of higher education…for undergraduate DACA and undocumented students;”
• University of Nebraska Omaha’s Dreamer’s Pathway Scholarship for “students who are DACA or DACA-eligible and Nebraska residents who are seeking an undergraduate degree;”
• University of Miami’s U Dreamers Program, which “is available to academically talented and admissible [DACA] and undocumented high school seniors and transfer students;”
• University of Michigan’s Dreamer Scholarship, which “is intended to support undocumented students or students with DACA status;” and
• Western Michigan University’s WMU Undocumented/DACA Scholarship “for undergraduate students who are ineligible to receive federal student aid due to an undocumented or DACA status.”

OCR will also investigate other allegedly impermissible and exclusionary scholarships detailed in the complaint, which include:

• University of Louisville’s Dawn Wilson Scholarship for “undergraduate LGBTQ+ students of color” and the Louisville Tango Festival Scholarship for “Latino/a/x and Hispanic students;”
• University of Nebraska Omaha’s HDR Scholarship, which gives “preference…to underrepresented minority students;” and
• Western Michigan University’s Elissa Gatlin Endowed Scholarship for “African American, Native American, or Hispanic American” students.

President Trump met on Sunday with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Following negotiations, Trump announced that the United States and the EU have reached a trade deal.

The two leaders praised the teams on both sides for the hard work to get to the agreement.

Speaking with the press, von der Leyen shared, “The starting point was an imbalance, a surplus on our side and a deficit on the U.S. side. And we wanted to rebalance trade relation.”

“And we wanted to do it in a way that trade goes on between the two of us across the Atlantic,” she continued. “Because the two biggest economies should have good trade flow between us. I think we hit exactly the point we wanted to find.”

“Rebalance, but enable trade on both sides. Which means good jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.  Means prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic and that was important for us.”

President Trump responded, “And again, the energy is a very important component because we have more energy than anyone else in that sense.  And I think it was very wise…they buy a lot of energy and it’s great stuff.”

President Trump noted that steel would stay as it is, as it is a worldwide issue.

Under the terms of the deal, the EU has agreed to buy $750 billion worth of energy from the US.

Additionally, the EU will make $600 billion in investments in the US and will purchase hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment.

European goods coming into the U.S. will have a 15% tariff, the EU will put 0% tariffs on U.S. goods.

It probably comes as no surprise to conservatives, but liberals protesting in favor, need to be reminded that the damage jihadist extremists do to education can return a country to the Stone Age. This astounding devolution of human development can be attributed to a number of extremist policies.

Under jihadist regimes, women’s access to education is eliminated or heavily restricted. In Afghanistan, the Taliban banned girls from secondary school and university, and barred female teachers from working. In Syria and Iraq, ISIS limited women’s education to religious instruction and domestic tasks. These policies halve the skilled labor force and erase potential contributions from female scientists, engineers, and doctors.

Jihadist groups often treat subjects like physics, chemistry, biology, and evolution as heretical. Secular education is purged and replaced with religious indoctrination, often in madrassa-style schools. In ISIS-controlled areas, public education was replaced with a Shariah curriculum that banned history, art, and science entirely.

ISIS destroyed institutions like the University of Mosul, looting or burning science departments. Taliban raids on schools and universities have also led to the destruction of labs and the banning of textbooks deemed “un-Islamic.”

In Somalia, Al-Shabaab banned or strictly monitored internet cafes. Online access is restricted to prevent exposure to “infidel” knowledge, cutting entire populations off from global research, education, and collaboration.

Photography, television, scientific illustrations (like anatomical diagrams), and music are often banned. This makes it nearly impossible to teach biology or medicine, and suppresses artistic and visual expression, key components of innovation and design.

Groups like ISIS and AQAP have destroyed museums, ancient artifacts, and research libraries. This cultural erasure severs historical continuity and wipes out critical educational resources for future generations.

Rote memorization of religious texts is prioritized over analytical or creative thinking. Academic debate and critical inquiry are treated as dangerous or heretical. In Yemen, formerly secular universities are now ideologically policed and heavily censored.

Educated professionals flee jihadist-controlled areas. Those who remain face persecution, threats, or must abandon their fields. During ISIS rule in Raqqa, many doctors and engineers were executed or fled, leaving a vacuum of expertise.

In Somalia and Yemen, jihadist groups impose religion-only curricula. Subjects like psychology, philosophy, and modern literature are labeled “Western corruptions” and banned entirely.

The impact of extremist rule on technological progress is clear. Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, Afghanistan’s technological and educational indicators have collapsed. University enrollment has dropped 53%, with over 100,000 women barred from higher education after the December 2022 ban. At the secondary level, 1.4 million girls, 80% of school-aged females, are now out of school.

Afghanistan’s scientific infrastructure has been dismantled. The Afghanistan Science Academy shut down after the Taliban takeover, triggering a mass exodus of scholars. Primary school enrollment fell from 6.8 million in 2019 to 5.7 million in 2022. Kabul University alone lost 24,000 students due to closures. Education funding has been redirected toward Taliban enforcement, not development.

Digital access is also crippled. Just 15% of Afghans have internet connectivity. Among women in Kabul, only 3% report having access, cutting half the potential workforce off from the digital economy. The literacy rate has stagnated at 43%, halting prior gains. Between 2001 and 2015, Afghanistan had grown from 8,000 to over 174,000 university students, one-third of them women by 2021. That progress has now been reversed.

The Islamic State’s territorial control in Iraq and Syria resulted in the systematic destruction of educational and research infrastructure. The University of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest academic institution with thirty thousand students and 4,200 faculty members, was completely shuttered and later converted into military facilities. Seventy percent of the university’s infrastructure was damaged during the liberation battles, along with seventy-five percent of its electrical systems and forty-five percent of its water systems.

Educational curricula were overhauled to remove subjects deemed incompatible with ISIS ideology. Departments of archaeology, law, political science, science, mathematics, art, and music were shut down. The plus sign was banned in math for resembling a Christian symbol. Over one million university library books were burned, and hundreds of researchers were dismissed or fled. U.S.-educated scholars were often targeted for assassination.

In Syria, Al-Furat University in Raqqa was closed and reopened as an “Islamic University” with a stripped-down curriculum. Schools in Aleppo, Deir al-Zour, and Raqqa were shuttered pending ideological revision. Teachers under ISIS earned just $75–$90 per month, insufficient for basic needs.

In Somalia, Al-Shabaab has devastated education. The group systematically targets schools, teachers, and students, making normal instruction nearly impossible. Between 2015 and 2017, 1,572 boys were forcibly recruited, removing them from education and sending them into armed conflict.

This collapse in schooling has led to child labor and early marriage as families abandon hope in formal education. Teachers face ongoing threats, and schools often shut down during conflict. The few functioning universities in Al-Shabaab territory operate under extreme limitations.

In Yemen, the education crisis worsened after the Houthis seized territory in 2014. Around 4.5 million children now risk total educational loss. Of Yemen’s 15,826 schools, 12,240 sat empty due to a salary freeze, with 166,443 teachers unpaid for over a year.

The University of Science and Technology, previously ranked among Yemen’s leading institutions, was forced to relocate its headquarters from Sana’a to Aden due to prolonged Houthis’ control of its facilities and hospital. Educational salaries became subject to “war taxation” imposed by controlling authorities, further undermining the sustainability of academic institutions. Internet penetration remains limited throughout the country, with educational technology initiatives severely constrained by ongoing conflict.

While jihadist groups use technology such as drones, GPS, and encrypted social media platforms for propaganda and warfare, they do not promote their use for education, infrastructure, or scientific progress. Al-Shabaab, for instance, uses encrypted apps to recruit fighters but bans mobile phone use by women and schoolchildren.

And all of these wonderful losses of technology and education can be yours if you vote left.
