President Trump struck another blow against his 2024 Presidential rival, even as she considers another desperate bid for the presidency.

As CNN reported, Trump revoked Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection on Thursday.

Harris previously received six months of protection after leaving office in accordance with federal law.

That period ended on July 21. Joe Biden, however, extended her protection by an additional year for undisclosed reasons, according to CNN.

How unsurprising that Biden and his handlers would make a mockery of the law once again.

Here is the letter in full, which CNN obtained:

“You are hereby authorized to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, effective September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris,” the letter reads.

Per CNN, here is what losing this protection means for Harris going forward:

But what will now disappear is not just the agents assigned to guard her in person, 24-7: Secret Service protection includes constant analysis of threat intelligence and covering in-person situations, emails, texts and social media.

With her detail canceled, Harris aides are worried they will lose the same access to threat warnings, the people familiar with her security operations said. Her home, in the middle of Los Angeles, will also stop being protected by federal agents.

CNN notes this news comes as Harris embarks on a book tour around the release of her new memoir “107 Days.” The book, which covers her short presidential campaign last year, will be released on September 23.

Team Harris released a short statement to CNN in response to the news:

“The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety,” said Kirsten Allen, a Harris senior adviser.

Mark Teixeira, a former New York Yankees All-Star who was part of the team’s 2009 World Series victory, announced on Thursday that he is entering the race to replace Congressman Chip Roy in Texas.

In his campaign announcement for Texas’s 21st Congressional District, Teixeira described himself as an America First conservative who would support President Trump’s political agenda.

“As a proud Texan and lifelong conservative who loves our country, I’m ready to fight for the principles that make Texas strong and America exceptional,” Teixeira said.

“It takes teamwork to win, and I’m ready to help defend President Trump’s America First agenda, Texas families, and individual liberty.”

“Congressman Chip Roy has represented this district with unwavering courage and leaves an impressive legacy of principled conservative leadership,” he continued.

“I’m running to ensure District 21 remains prosperous and free for generations to come.”

Big news: I’m ready to go!

As a lifelong conservative who loves this country, I’m running for Congress to fight for the principles that make Texas and America great.

Teixeira enters the congressional race with the advantage of considerable name recognition.

The former Yankees All-Star and 2009 World Series champion is far better known than most first-time candidates, which should make it easier for him to raise money.

Over a 14-year career, Teixeira played for the Rangers, Braves, Angels, and Yankees before retiring in 2016. He won the World Series with the Yankees in 2009.

He and his family moved back to Texas in 2021, where he has since focused on raising his children, business ventures, and supporting education and Christian causes.

Teixeira’s politics align him with several of his old Yankee teammates who backed Donald Trump.

Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera not only endorsed Trump but received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, while fellow 2009 champion Johnny Damon was also appointed to Trump’s sports council.

The district Teixeira seeks is a Republican stronghold, with Chip Roy winning re-election by more than 25 points in 2024.

Guest post by former US Representative from Minnesota, Michele Bachmann

The Lord could not have made this more obvious.

The DNC met in Minneapolis this week trying to figure out why the voters rejected them.

On Monday, Governor Tim Walz took to the podium and bragged Minnesota is the number one trans state in America.
The MN Lt. Gov. bragged about Minnesota trans kids and how we need to affirm their sexual self-discovery, as did Attorney General Keith Ellison as he bragged about suing the Trump administration to retain the state’s power over a child’s sexuality.
The irrelevant but risible US Representative Ilhan Omar did the same.
Policy-wise they’ve proven they all hate kids.
Utter fools.

Then they had to cut short their DNC meeting to scramble to stand before a microphone to comment on the 4th shooting event in Minnesota in 24 hours!
Only this shooting garnered national notice and cameras.
And this mass shooting was at the hands of a gender-affirmed trans!

Everything the murderer wrote on his gun reflected Democrat talking points:

• Hate/kill Trump;
• Rejection/mocking God;
• Free Palestine;
• Jew hatred/kill the Jews;
• A photo of Jesus Christ shot for target practice.

The trans murderer’s final statements summarized what Dems have spouted for years.
He learned from them well.

The Democrat politicians gave us this mess because they’ve run the state of Minnesota unimpeded for so long.
They looked clueless and ignorant at the press conference outside the Catholic sanctuary.

Sen. Klobuchar blanched at the microphone and blamed other politicians who wouldn’t ban guns.
Mayor Jacob Frey lectured viewers not to blame trans people for the murder of praying children, when it was a gender affirmed trans murderer who pulled the trigger to kill as many kids as he could.

You bet it was the trans who pulled the triggers that killed these kids —and we had better say it!

Responsibility lies with the Democrat politicians who ignorantly went along with the crowd, willing to sacrifice kids lives rather than stand up to the lying sexual confusion community.

These Democratic politicians bear a lion’s share of the blame for the murder of those kids because they voted to mandate that ALL MN kids must be taught that sexual dysphoria is normative.

That’s Democrat controlled Minnesota classrooms today.

How stupid and harmful are these Dem politicians?

We needed a strong, masculine Mayor at the microphone after the Minneapolis mass shootings.

Instead, we got Mayor Frey doing his best impersonation of an emotionally flailing 14-year-old girl trying to channel how much he feels the affected family’s pain.
He wasn’t effective, nor did we need Mayor Frey to feel the families’ pain; we needed him to stop trans criminals in Minneapolis from killing innocent kid’s during a Catholic school mass!

Mayor Frey is another fraud as all these MN Dem politicians are frauds.

They steal their power base, (see the recent Minneapolis Mayor election disaster with Omar Fateh), they bankrupt the state, they force taxpayers to pay for a middle-class lifestyle for illegal aliens, they destroy Minnesota’s once vaunted education system, and they mandate Marxism and sexual confusion as Minnesota’s new core curriculum.

Christianity is out in Minnesota, Islamism is in.

The Dem politicians gave us the trans mandates.

These mandates are creating how many new trans kids who may be ticking time-bombs waiting to vent their anger and confusion at yet another innocent target.

The Dems remove MN kids from MN homes if parents reject a teacher’s or social worker’s wishes to rush a child into chemical castration and bodily mutilation.

The destruction Dems gave Minnesotans is on a forward march, and only sane Minnesotans can stop this hell from further advance.

May God be merciful to innocent Minnesota citizens.
May we be saved from this Dem-imposed tyranny!

U.S. foreign policy has too often prioritized globalist interests over principled ones. A second Trump administration offers the chance to realign America’s moral compass on the global landscape, and there’s no better place to start than with South Africa’s beleaguered Afrikaner minority.

For decades, the Afrikaners – descendants of Dutch settlers – have faced escalating violence, discrimination, and land expropriation threats under successive and genocidal ANC governments. Despite their contributions to South Africa’s infrastructure, agriculture, and economy, they are increasingly treated as political scapegoats. Farm attacks continue at alarming rates. Land expropriation without compensation remains a policy debate. Yet the world stays silent.

Only President Trump famously stood up for the Afrikaners on the world stage when he confronted President Cyril Ramaphopsa – and invariably shocked the world when he instructed White House staff to “Turn the lights down” in order to display a video montage of South African government officials calling for the death of Afrikaners. President Ramaphopsa’s reaction was the subject of weeks of memes, and shortly following their meeting President Trump granted refugee status to the Afrikaners in an Executive Order.

More recently, the Trump administration put together an assessment of human rights abuses throughout the world, concluding that human rights in South Africa have significantly worsened in 2024. We’ve seen a substantial number of Afrikaners leave as a result – to which President Ramaphosa called them cowards.

But many of the Afrikaners are not looking to leave. They were born on South African land and intend to be buried on that same South African land. A Trump-appointed Special Envoy for the Protection of Afrikaner Rights would send a clear message: the United States will not ignore genocide or state-sponsored ethnic targeting. This isn’t just about protecting the Afrikaners – rather, it’s about reaffirming our nation’s commitment to the fundamental rights for an innocent minority, and participating in the defense of a western people whose values mirror our own American ones.

Trump has never been afraid to speak truth to globalist hypocrisy. While the Biden administration lectured about “equity” abroad, it ignored the brutal consequences of race-based policies in South Africa. A Special Envoy would give persecuted communities a voice, expose corruption, and challenge the end of history global order that has turned a blind eye in the name of “racial justice.”

If the U.S. could appoint envoys for climate change and LGBTQ rights, surely we can also appoint one for a Christian farming minority at risk of cultural extinction. As it stands, their time is running thin as South African government officials openly chant “Kill the Boer”. Many Afrikaner communities – such as the autonomous town of Orania – are self-sufficient without reliance on the government that rejects them, but they are so small that a special envoy from the US is necessary to ensure their continued survival.

I had the personal honor of hosting a delegation from Orania as President of the New York Young Republican Club. I speak from firsthand experience when I say that if there is any group the United States should be allying itself with in South Africa, it is this community. The very values that we regard as the epitome of the American Dream – self-reliance, hard work, and undying determination – have made the Afrikaners targets in their homeland.

A Special Envoy for the Protection of Afrikaner Rights would show the world that the Trump Administration is realigning the global order to favor western values, and that the woke political elite who would rather turn a blind eye to this politically inconvenient situation will not prevail.

This is the latest in our continuing coverage of the events in South Korea. We are keeping our source anonymous for his/her protection.

Korea’s pro-China totalitarian leader met with President Trump this week at the White House.

On August 28, 2025, South Korea’s Democratic Party (DP) crossed a dangerous line. In response to the judiciary’s rejection of an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the DP not only condemned the courts but also moved to create a so-called “Special Court for Rebellion.”

This is not a normal judicial measure. It is an attempt to strip authority from ordinary courts and build a parallel tribunal designed to guarantee convictions. In reality, this amounts to the creation of a Communist-style pseudo-court—courts in appearance, but not in substance—serving as instruments of political repression.

Key developments on August 28:

** The DP’s emergency committee and hardliners denounced the judiciary’s decision as sending the “wrong signal” to so-called “rebellion forces.”

** Calls for a “Special Court for Rebellion” escalated from rhetoric to formal resolution and legislative planning. According to Yonhap News, the DP will present legislation to establish the tribunal as early as September 4.

** Senior DP lawmakers declared: “The ordinary judiciary cannot be trusted. A special panel is required to handle rebellion charges.”

On social media and in press briefings, DP figures demanded “swift reapplication of warrants” and labeled the judiciary’s independence as an obstacle to “ending rebellion.”

This is nothing less than a Stalinist tactic:

** Branding political opponents as “rebels” to justify extraordinary tribunals;

** Overriding the independent judiciary with a handpicked court loyal to the ruling party;

** Turning the language of law into a weapon for political purge.

The Communist People’s Courts of the 20th century operated in precisely this way: they mimicked judicial form while serving as political tools. The Democratic Party is now attempting to reproduce this in South Korea. It is a direct assault on the separation of powers and the rule of law.

This is not justice—it is judicial theater to consolidate authoritarian control. If unchecked, no opposition leader, dissident, or ordinary citizen will be safe from arbitrary prosecution.

We urge international observers, human rights organizations, and democratic allies to closely scrutinize these developments. A “Special Court for Rebellion” is wholly incompatible with democratic governance. It signals the transformation of South Korea’s judiciary into a party-controlled instrument.
